The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 227: Aunt Zhong’s “Romance Debt”

The matter was settled. With Aunt Zhong coming forward, those people would never dare to say anything. The identities of the sisters were confirmed. Now only Qiu Xiaotian was left. Pan Chengfeng still had a way to deal with his master. Several people were chatting, and Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "Brother Tang is here. I'll go out to greet him. Please sit down for a while."

Chu Xuanji brought the dusty Tang Tong in. Seeing that there were already people waiting inside, Tang Tong bowed and said, "Sorry for waiting for you all. I apologize here." Pan Chengfeng stood up and said, "Brother Tang, you don't have to be so polite. Come over and have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue." The two sat down, and Tang Tong picked up the teacup and drank it all. He said comfortably, "Brother Chu's tea is still the best, much better than the tea in our academy."

Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "If you like, just come and drink often. I promise to treat you with such good tea every time." Tang Tong smiled and said, "If it weren't for the long journey, I would really give up my face and come to your place every day to drink tea~" Pan Chengfeng introduced, "Aunt Zhong, Qian'er, this is the vice president of Bailu Academy, President Tang Tong." Pan Chengfeng turned around and introduced, "This is the fairy Zhong Wuyan of the Zhong family, and this is my wife, Li Qian'er."

Tang Tong glanced at Qian'er, then at Aunt Zhong. He was stunned, pointed at Aunt Zhong, and shouted excitedly, "It's you? So your last name is Zhong." Tang Tong quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Long time no see. I am honored to meet you."

Several people were very surprised. Two people know each other? Aunt Zhong thought for a long time, her eyes slowly widened, and she said in disbelief: "Are you that scholar?" Tang Tong smiled, very happily: "Five hundred and ninety years, we are really destined to be together." Chu Xuanji's heart tightened inexplicably, Pan Chengfeng also saw something fishy, ​​and Qian'er stared and waited for the melon.

But no one interrupted, waiting for Tang Tong to continue. Sure enough, after a while, Tang Tong continued: "Do you still remember what you said before?" Aunt Zhong said hurriedly: "It's been so long, how can you still remember it so clearly? It was just a joke when we were young, don't take it seriously." Tang Tong's face became serious and said: "Joke? I always took it seriously! So you are a cultivator from Fancheng, no wonder I haven't heard from you in Licheng for so many years."

Chu Xuanji couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted, "What are you two doing?" Tang Tong explained, "When I was young, I almost died once. It was this fairy in front of me who saved me." Then Tang Tong fell into memory and said, "It's almost six hundred years ago. At that time, I had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and went out to gain experience. When I passed through the Great Zhou, I had a conflict with several cultivators, but I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that those people would ambush me on the road. Just when I thought my life was in danger, Fairy Zhong appeared. She fought off the three people, healed my wounds and protected me, so I was able to save my life." Tang Tong suddenly looked at Aunt Zhong and said, "Why did you lie to me and say that you were a cultivator from Licheng? I just wanted to repay you for saving my life. Why did the fairy reject me?"

Aunt Zhong said shyly and hurriedly: "You, you, you, how can I agree to repay you with that kind of repayment?" Chu Xuan Ji guessed: "Brother Tang, are you going to repay me with your body?" Tang Tong said seriously: "I can't think of any other way to repay you for saving my life!" Pan Chengfeng and Qian'er were trying to hold back their laughter and almost got internal injuries.

I didn't expect that Tang Tong, who looked serious, was actually a stubborn person. Chu Xuanji said with some displeasure: "Brother Tang, this is really asking for trouble." Tang Tong asked curiously: "Brother Xuanji, what do you mean by this?" Chu Xuanji explained: "Although I haven't experienced it, I still know one thing, this kind of thing requires mutual consent. Don't you think your one-sided entanglement is too much?" Tang Tong said angrily: "Brother Xuanji, I don't agree with what you said." Chu Xuanji sneered: "I would like to hear more details."

Qian'er looked at Pan Chengfeng strangely and asked in a voice transmission: "Why are the two of them fighting?" Pan Chengfeng replied cheerfully: "Originally, there was a piece of meat in the bowl, and only one person took the chopsticks and ate it whenever he wanted. Now suddenly someone else takes the chopsticks and wants to eat the piece of meat in the bowl. What do you think the original person holding the chopsticks will think? I think it's a good thing, let's just watch."

Tang Tong said: "I have never pestered Fairy Zhong..." Chu Xuan Ji said: "That's because there was no chance." Tang Tong said again: "Fairy Zhong has never expressed that she doesn't accept me..." Chu Xuan Ji said again: "That's because she is afraid of hurting your feelings." Tang Tong said angrily: "Chu Xuan Ji! What does the matter between Fairy Zhong and me have to do with you? You are being sarcastic here, what do you mean? Are you also interested in Fairy Zhong? If so, I am willing to compete fairly!" Chu Xuan Ji was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, thinking: "What's wrong with me? Why did I suddenly go crazy?" Chu Xuan Ji hurriedly explained: "Fairy Zhong and I are friends, so I can't just watch her let you pester her."

Tang Tong snorted and said, "I am pursuing my own happiness, which is aboveboard." Chu Xuanji said, "As long as you don't pester Fairy Zhong, I won't say anything." Tang Tong ignored Chu Xuanji and looked at Aunt Zhong and said, "When we parted that year, you said that when I became a god, you would let me go to Licheng to find you. Over the past few hundred years, I have never forgotten and have been practicing hard, and finally became a god. But when I arrived in Licheng, I didn't hear any news about the fairy after searching for a long time." Aunt Zhong said guiltily, "At that time, you insisted on following me, and I had no choice but to promise you that I would become a god."

Chu Xuan Ji came to the rescue and said, "Brother Tang, you heard it, it's because you kept pestering her that Fairy Zhong gave you hope." Tang Tong said firmly, "Now that I have reached the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, doesn't the Fairy have to fulfill your promise as well?" Aunt Zhong opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything to break her promise.

Chu Xuan Ji saw that something was wrong, and said quickly: "Fairy Zhong just asked you to go to Licheng to wait for her, there is no other meaning!" Tang Tong said angrily: "Chu Xuan Ji! Fairy Zhong and I are talking, can you please stop interrupting!" Aunt Zhong saw that the two were about to quarrel, and said quickly: "I feel a little uncomfortable, I'm going to rest first." After that, she fled back to her room.

Pan Chengfeng gave Qian'er a look, and Qian'er quickly chased after him. Pan Chengfeng immediately smiled and eased the atmosphere, saying, "You two, you two, everyone is scared away by you, so calm down." Tang Tong snorted, "It's incomprehensible!" Chu Xuanji said indifferently, "You are the one who is incomprehensible. It's ridiculous to ask someone to marry you as soon as you come."

Tang Tong suddenly laughed and said mockingly: "Chu Xuanji, Chu Xuanji, there are so many women waiting for you in Qin. You hide here and compete with me for women. Isn't it a bit unkind?" Chu Xuanji blushed and said hurriedly: "I am devoted to cultivation. I don't have the leisure to talk about love like you." Tang Tong said: "Okay! In this case, you stay aside and don't cause trouble for me. Fairy Zhong is going to marry me!"

Pan Chengfeng hurriedly stopped Chu Xuanji from speaking and said, "We are here to discuss business, not to quarrel. We will talk about Aunt Zhong's matter later." Tang Tong snorted and said, "I came here this time to discuss with Brother Chengfeng about how to deal with the Seven Star Academy. According to our Bailu Academy's investigation, there are many new faces in the Seven Star Academy recently, and there are at least two peak-level masters hidden among them!" Pan Chengfeng said, "That means there are three peak-level masters in the Seven Star Academy?" Tang Tong said, "That's right. Dean Yang and I can only deal with one each, and the other one can only be handed over to Brother Chengfeng."

Pan Chengfeng touched his chin and said, "This is just the apparent strength. I think the Seven Star Academy should have more than this strength, or Chen Qi should have arranged more than this number of people." Tang Tong asked in confusion, "What does Brother Chengfeng mean?" Pan Chengfeng continued, "If I were that Mu Chenxu, I would deliberately expose a little bit of my strength to let you know, and then hide most of my strength, and wait for all of you to enter the net, and then catch you all in one fell swoop!"

Tang Tong was startled and broke into a cold sweat, "Brother Chengfeng, do you mean that Mu Chenxu set a trap for us to fall into?" Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "That should be the case. Mu Chenxu is always cautious and is unlikely to reveal his strength. He deliberately exposed two peak Spiritualization cultivators this time, and it is very likely that there are three or even four more peak Spiritualization cultivators hiding, and there may even be Void Refining cultivators! Otherwise, if a fight really breaks out, the loss of their Seven Star Academy will not be small."

Tang Tong paced back and forth, sweating profusely, and asked, "What should we do? If this is the case, we can only hide in the academy and rely on the formation to stalemate with them." Pan Chengfeng smiled strangely, "I guess Mu Chenxu is afraid that you will hide and not come out, so he deliberately arranged it this way."

Tang Tong saw Pan Chengfeng's expression and asked in confusion: "Brother Chengfeng, do you have a solution?" Pan Chengfeng said with a smile: "Brother Tang, Second Brother, can you two withstand the pressure from the Void Refining cultivator?" Tang Tong said: "How is it possible? I can't even withstand the pressure from the early stage of the Void Refining cultivator!"

Chu Xuanji hesitated for a while and said, "I can still resist the pressure from the cultivators in the early stage of the Void Refining Realm, but I can't bear the pressure from the cultivators in the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm at all." Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "It seems that my brother's strength has improved recently." Tang Tong said anxiously, "What is the solution? Brother Chengfeng, please tell me~"

Pan Chengfeng pointed at himself and said, "I can withstand the pressure from a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement!" The two were confused. After a while, Chu Xuanji finally reacted and said, "Brother Mou?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Yes, according to my estimation, the Seven Star Academy has probably invited cultivators from the Void Refinement Stage. Otherwise, if a fight really breaks out, the Seven Star Academy will definitely suffer heavy losses! This is not what the calculating Mu Chenxu wants. But as long as there are cultivators from the Void Refinement Stage to help, the pressure will be released and everyone will be suppressed and unable to move. The people from the Seven Star Academy can easily harvest the heads of the White Egret Academy!"

The three of them discussed for a long time, and finally came up with a relatively perfect plan. In Wanbao Pavilion, Aunt Zhong's room, Qian'er took Aunt Zhong's hand and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that when Aunt Zhong was young, she still got into trouble outside~" Aunt Zhong's face was serious, and she said: "Don't make fun of me anymore. I made a fool of myself in front of Chu Lang. Now I don't know what to do."

Qian'er smiled and said, "Aunt Zhong is really confused by the situation. Didn't you see how nervous Pavilion Master Chu was just now? It was obvious that he was afraid that Aunt Zhong would agree to that Tang guy." Aunt Zhong was delighted and asked hurriedly, "Really? I didn't even dare to look up just now and didn't notice it at all."

Qian'er hugged Aunt Zhong's arm and said coquettishly, "Aunt Zhong, please tell Qian'er about you and Tang Tong." Aunt Zhong sighed and said, "Actually, there's nothing much to say. I was young and ignorant back then, and I flirted with that scholar. I didn't expect him to be so stubborn. In the end, I saw that I couldn't get rid of him, so I told him, 'Wait until you become a spirit and then come to Licheng to find me.' Hundreds of years have passed, and he still remembers it."

Qian'er didn't believe it and said, "It's that simple? He even talked about saving lives and healing injuries~" Aunt Zhong blushed and said hurriedly, "The situation was critical at the time. In order to heal his injuries, I helped him undress and apply medicine. He insisted on marrying me. Oh~ It's so annoying." Qian'er teased, "Then this means they had physical contact~ This is difficult to deal with." Aunt Zhong said anxiously, "What physical contact? It's not happening!"

Qian'er smiled and said, "Aunt Zhong doesn't know how charming you are. You flirted with a young scholar and ended up seducing him. He has been thinking about you for hundreds of years." Aunt Zhong sat in front of the mirror, stroking her face, and said with joy, "I didn't expect that I was so charming~"
