Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

Chapter 53: Liu Mingyue’s Plan

"How could this happen? Why is your horse kicking people randomly?" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but get angry when he saw the two people lying on the ground, unable to get up. He pointed at Dao Li's head and scolded, "Do you realize your mistake?"

"Hiss~~" Dao Li lowered its head in shame.

Satisfied, Zhang Xuan smiled and patted it, "It's good that you know you're wrong. I'll cook some soybeans for you later!"

"..."

Liu Mingyue, with her mouth open, felt like crying. ‘Your student was still lying on the ground, and you have only pretended to comfort her briefly... The most crucial part was... Dao Li, why do you look so shy?’

"Teacher Zhang, just saying that isn't enough..." Liu Mingyue finally couldn't hold it in and struggled to stand up.

"I'm really sorry. This is your horse. I just got it and don't know its temperament. I didn't expect it to kick even its owner..." Zhang Xuan apologized sincerely.

"..." The scolding words that Liu Mingyue had prepared got stuck in her throat. She couldn't even get angry. Yes, this was her horse, and she wanted it to kick Zhang Xuan. Getting kicked herself was deserved... She really shot herself in the foot, trying to embarrass the other party, but ended up embarrassing herself instead. She glanced around secretly, seeing that no one had noticed, she felt slightly comforted.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm fine..." Liu Mingyue said, enduring the pain from the swelling on her face. "Teacher, I've completed my assessment, and my Source Pool is fully stabilized. I came here today, firstly to deliver the horse, and secondly to ask when the first class will be, so you can help me ignite the furnace. I want to start cultivating as soon as possible. This afternoon, Mo Yanxue successfully ignited her furnace and reached the early stage of the Energy Storing Realm..."

Since Dao Li was unreliable, she decided to have Zhang Xuan teach directly. The first class for a new teacher was a public lecture. If he dared to accept, there would be opportunities to make him look bad.

"Mo Yanxue has started cultivating?" Zhang Xuan was surprised.

"Yes, the Mo family prepared the blood of a 'Lingyun Beast' for her as an introduction. With Vice-principal Lu's help, she successfully activated a supreme-grade furnace..." Liu Mingyue's eyes showed envy. Mentioning Mo Yanxue deliberately and revealing her current state was to make Zhang Xuan feel embarrassed. As a teacher, having a student with the same talent surpassing his own students in such a short time should make him feel ashamed. How could he continue to stay at the academy?

Of course, her envy was real too. A supreme-grade furnace wasn't easy to activate. The key, the skills and strength of the igniter—resources and a teacher—were all indispensable. Such a level could be counted on one hand in White Roc City. If she could obtain it, it wouldn't be long before she could reach the peak of the Energy Storing Realm and become one of the top freshmen.

"Lingyun Beast?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled. He had limited Heaven's Fate Energy and had only collected some martial arts manuals from the library. He hadn't copied any basic knowledge of this world, so he didn't know much about so-called Source Beasts.

"It's a rare Heaven's Fate Source Beast, but its blood can be bought in the Destiny Hall. It's one of the most commonly used blood types for Source Warriors to ignite furnaces, but it's very expensive..." Liu Mingyue explained.

Zhang Xuan nodded. Although he still didn't fully understand the Destiny Hall and Lingyun Beast she mentioned, he didn't want to ask too many questions. As a teacher, not knowing what a student was talking about was quite embarrassing... However, this basic knowledge could easily be understood by reading books, so it wasn't a big deal.

"Alright, go prepare the ignition material. I'll teach the first class tomorrow and help you ignite the furnace..." Zhang Xuan waved his hand, knowing that the more he spoke, the easier it was to reveal his ignorance.

"Yes!" Liu Mingyue's eyes flashed.

‘You're just a auxiliary teacher, what do you know about igniting furnaces? Humph, if you fail tomorrow... I'll make sure you're thoroughly embarrassed. Let's see how you can still face me as a teacher.’ With that thought, she agreed and turned to leave. After a few steps, she looked back at the groom, "Are you coming or not!"

It was all this guy's fault that she got kicked. She planned to teach him a good lesson later...

"By the way, tell Yu Xiaoyu to join us tomorrow!" Zhang Xuan instructed.

Seeing the girl agree and turn to leave, Zhang Xuan smiled at Dao Li before him. "How do you feel?"

Though called Dao Li, it had the mind and spirit of Su Shang after the Spirit Awakening, which was like borrowing a corpse to bring back a soul.

"Hiss~~" Dao Li snorted softly and affectionately rubbed against him. Knowing it would be revived by this owner after crashing into the school gate, it didn't expect to get such a body. Previously, it had thought this person was unreliable when asked to cut open its own belly to cook and eat its organs, but now it saw he could be reliable after all…

At Liu Mingyue's residence of White Rock Academy.

As the eldest daughter of the Liu family, she couldn't live in the same dormitory as ordinary students. Instead, she rented a room at a high price. Though smaller than Zhang Xuan's staff dormitory, it still provided her with a private space, which was very precious for a student.

"It hurts, can't you be more careful..." A voice of anger came from the room.

"Miss, it will be done soon..." The maid applying the medicine was so scared her hands were trembling.

Soon, the medicine was applied. Liu Mingyue looked in the mirror and saw that the hoof print on her face had faded a lot, but was still faintly visible. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She glared at the groom in front of her. "What were you doing? I wanted Dao Li to kick Zhang Xuan, why did it kick me?"

The groom looked like he was about to cry. "I don't know either. Could it be that auxiliary teacher has already tamed Dao Li?"

"That's impossible!" Liu Mingyue snorted coldly. "You must have made the wrong gesture. Dao Li intended to kick him but ended up kicking me!"

Even if he was good at taming animals, it would take some time, wouldn't it? How could he tame it at first sight?

"I..." Cold sweat broke out on the groom's forehead.

"Alright, don't be afraid. I know you didn't do it on purpose. Now, I'll give you a chance to make up for it!" Liu Mingyue said coldly.

"Miss, please instruct me..." The groom immediately bowed.

Liu Mingyue lifted her chin, her eyes gleaming. "Tomorrow, Zhang Xuan is supposed to help me ignite the furnace. I mentioned the 'Lingyun Beast' on purpose earlier. He seemed to have never heard of it... Since he doesn't know, there's a chance to play some tricks!"

"What do you want me to do?" The groom looked over.

"Get a bottle of 'Hanbei Turtle' blood!" Liu Mingyue said.

The groom was stunned. "Hanbei Turtle... It's not even considered a Source Beast, just the lowest class of animal. Its blood is cold and icy, not even as good as ordinary plants. It can't possibly ignite a furnace..."

"Exactly. The less likely it is to succeed, the better. I'll use Hanbei Turtle blood and pretend it's Lingyun Beast blood. Let him try to ignite it. Imagine a dignified teacher, not even knowing the blood was wrong, struggling to ignite it... How embarrassing would that be?"

"This..." The groom's eyes widened. "Miss, you're brilliant! If that happens, he will surely become the laughingstock of the entire academy!"
