He had already hidden himself in such a remote area outside Soto, how could he still run into this jinx?
What a fucking bad luck!
If he had known it was this man earlier, he would have stopped Zhao Wuji and Li Yisong immediately. Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
Now that he'd been exposed, Hu Lande had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward. He approached Jiang Yunzhou, forced a smile, and bowed, saying, "Sir, it was indeed our people's fault this time. You've already taught them a lesson and vented your anger. Do you think we can just let this matter drop?"
Jiang Yunzhou didn't bother with any more words, simply extending his hand and uttering two words: "Pay up!"
Huland was taken aback and almost thought he had misheard.
You assaulted my people, sabotaged my performance, and now you expect me to pay you compensation? What kind of logic is that? Do you think I'm easy to bully?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it really is true; we really can't beat them.
Huland's heart was bleeding. Why couldn't anyone come and subdue this monster?
He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and asked, "How many gold coins do you think it would take to settle this matter?"
"How about a thousand gold coins?" Jiang Yunzhou said after thinking for a moment.
Huland nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
'A thousand gold coins? Why don't you just rob it? Oh, you are indeed robbing it...'
The college's slush fund originally had some money, but you just swindled away most of it!
"Your Excellency, this is truly a difficult situation. I genuinely don't have that much on hand right now..."
Huland cried out that he was poor.
"Really not?"
Jiang Yunzhou frowned, his tone instantly turning cold, "Can't you even negotiate? Hand over everything you have on you! Hurry up! Or I'll kill you too!"
Hearing the familiar phrase "I'll kill you" again, Huland's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat poured down his back.
Under normal circumstances, with so many teachers and students in the academy, they might not be afraid of him if they joined forces.
Having witnessed Zhao Wuji's miserable state, he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.
Can't afford to offend, really can't afford to offend.
With immense heartache, he fumbled for all the money pouches on his person and reluctantly handed them over, his voice trembling.
"Sir, this... this is truly all I have..."
Chapter 24 Xiao Wu's opinion was vetoed by Tang Shan.
Jiang Yunzhou took the gold coins, weighed them in his hand, and estimated there were about a hundred.
He curled his lip and said, "Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you. If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll extort you until you're all dead!"
Hu Land's lips twitched, and he was internally screaming: How can someone be so brazen as to extort money in public?
But circumstances are beyond our control. We can't win, so whatever they say goes, and we can only accept our defeat.
My heart aches so much. All the money I painstakingly saved by swindling and deceiving... no, I mean by recruiting students has been completely swindled away!
Jiang Yunzhou patted Hu Land on the shoulder as if encouraging a younger generation: "Make money well, work hard to develop your business, and I'll come back to extort you again next time."
Having said that, he pocketed the nearly one thousand gold coins with satisfaction and turned away, ignoring the bewildered Huland standing there.
He called out to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, stop playing around! Come back when you've vented your anger. It's time to clean up and get dinner ready!"
Glancing at Dai Mubai, whose face was bruised and swollen, Jiang Yunzhou thought that being a sparring partner was indeed quite painful.
"I'm really hungry... I need to go buy some groceries."
He muttered to himself, "I haven't bought the ingredients yet. I can't waste all my precious time fighting."
Zhu Zhuqing was very obedient.
She especially thought the way the teacher slapped someone and tried to extort money was incredibly cool!
So she decided to follow suit.
The teacher once said: "If you have a grudge, take revenge. Don't keep it to yourself. If you can't kill him, beat him to death."
"Clap clap clap!"
A crisp slap rang out, followed by her cold, low curses: "Idiot! Dog of a man! Coward! Pay up..."
After a few crisp sounds, Dai Mubai's originally handsome cheeks swelled up at a visible speed.
Zhu Zhuqing disliked the blood and dirt on his face and hands, so she delivered a swift flying kick, accurately sending Dai Mubai flying back into the courtyard of Shilaike Academy.
After doing all this, Zhu Zhuqing felt all the pent-up frustration in her heart vanish, leaving her feeling incredibly clear-headed.
The feeling of beating up that scumbag really made her feel much better!
She no longer wants to work with this man and feels she must have been out of her mind before.
Otherwise, why would she have thought of coming to find this man?
That guy with the lower head, disgusting, ugh.
During this battle, she truly felt the power of those techniques; the feeling of fighting beyond one's level was simply wonderful.
All of this was brought to her by her teacher.
They support each other, Dai Mubai and others?
No, no, no, all she wants to do right now is help Jiang Yunzhou.
She patted non-existent dust off her hands and quickly returned to Jiang Yunzhou's side.
The cold and fierce aura she had when she was beating someone vanished the moment she saw Jiang Yunzhou, and she reverted to her slightly docile girl self.
"Teacher, the techniques you taught me are really amazing!"
She leaned close to Jiang Yunzhou's ear and whispered excitedly, her face beaming with undisguised joy and admiration.
Jiang Yunzhou affectionately ruffled her hair, sensing the change in her mindset.
It seems that their bond has been almost completely severed.
"You did well, but you need to practice more in the future. Your potential is far greater than this."
"However, you only made him lose money, but you didn't get a single gold coin back, so you didn't do a good job in that respect."
Zhu Zhuqing thought about it and realized she had just been talking nonsense, so she kicked the person away.
They definitely forgot to search me.
"Ah, next time, I'll remember next time."
He seemed to thoroughly enjoy the affectionate pat on the head by Jiang Yunzhou, nodding emphatically like a kitten being stroked.
Before leaving, Jiang Yunzhou turned his gaze to Xiao Wu, who was watching the battle from the side, and gave her a meaningful smile.
Xiao Wu instinctively looked away, his heart inexplicably racing.
Her gaze never left Jiang Yunzhou from beginning to end.
Whether it was his overwhelming strength that crushed the Soul Saint, or his nonchalant and shameless way of extorting money, he always maintained a calm and collected demeanor.
Indeed... he was handsome enough to impress her.
Compared to the other two, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: why couldn't her third brother give her this strong, reliable, and slightly mischievous feeling?
He's like a silent gourd all day long.
All they do is play with grass, or tinker with those sneaky, hidden weapons...
She also saw Jiang Yunzhou's martial spirit. They were both made of grass, so why could others wield grass so domineeringly?
The third brother only knows how to entangle; does he really like playing with bondage that much?
To be honest, she was already somewhat tempted by what Jiang Yunzhou had said earlier.
She also witnessed Zhu Zhuqing's battle firsthand, which was truly outstanding. A Great Soul Master was able to suppress a Soul Venerable throughout the entire fight!
This is enough to prove that Jiang Yunzhou really has something!
Although Dai Mubai did indeed lose the initiative due to carelessness at the beginning, which led to his subsequent crushing defeat, a loss is a loss.
When Tang Shan saw the meaningful look Jiang Yunzhou gave Xiao Wu, a nameless anger rose in his heart, and he felt a surge of suffocation and humiliation.
That man has never even glanced at me once since he appeared!
His gaze swept over himself and landed precisely on Xiao Wu. This complete disregard was, in itself, a great contempt for the proud and arrogant Tang Shan.
He roared silently in his heart: Ahhh—you just wait! One day, I will crush you under my feet!
He suddenly remembered a crucial detail and turned to ask Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, did you notice just now? That man's first spirit ring was a purple thousand-year spirit ring!"
Xiao Wu was taken aback when she heard this. She had been so focused on Jiang Yunzhou’s face and his overall demeanor that she hadn’t paid any attention to the color of his soul ring.
Upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem strange that this happened to that man.
She stammered, "Okay, I think so..."
After answering, she had a sudden thought and felt it was a good opportunity to test Tang Shan's attitude, so she asked:
"Third Brother, this Shilai Academy, with so many people combined, can't even beat Jiang Yunzhou. It doesn't seem that great. Do you still insist on joining?"
She cautiously observed Tang Shan's expression. "I think that Supreme Academy is pretty impressive, otherwise we..."
Tang Shan's face instantly darkened, and he interrupted her.
So that man's name was Jiang Yunzhou? Xiao Wuwu actually knew that person's name was Jiang Yunzhou? I'm so angry.
Although he was quite disappointed with the performance of the Smile Academy, it was something that his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, had solemnly instructed him to do.
Moreover, it won't be long before his teacher comes here to meet him.
"Xiao Wu, be a good boy!"
Tang Shan said firmly, "The teacher must have a deeper meaning in asking us to join Shi Laike. We should just follow his instructions."
"But Third Brother..."
Xiao Wu tried to argue back, bringing up examples he had seen: "That Supreme Academy is really different! Didn't you see how powerful its disciples are? That golden-haired white tiger, he even fought you at the hotel last time. Do you think you could beat him easily? But that woman in black could easily overpower him!"
These words were like a thorn, piercing Tangshan's heart.
