Zhou Yan returned to Wu Qingfeng's office. His powerful senses were no longer as shocked as before; with his abilities, he could have set up an even more formidable one.
Stepping into this place again, Zhou Yan could already feel the aura of the Qilin he had encountered before.
The Qilin swiftly flew over, landing before Zhou Yan. "We meet again. In just two short years, your strength has grown to this extent."
"Thank you for saving me last time." Zhou Yan was aware of the forces that had been dispatched by Ziwei Academy. Ziwei Academy had sent many people to save him, which was one of the reasons he had such a good impression of the academy.
"You are a member of the academy, and you are worthy of my intervention. I can sense that your current strength is immense. It probably wouldn't take much effort for you to defeat me." Da Feng Novel Network.
The Qilin could not see through Zhou Yan, as Zhou Yan had reached a state of innate simplicity and hidden depth. This level was no different from the divine realm; only his cultivation realm was lacking.
"Ancestor Qilin, you jest. You are a divine beast who can enter the God Realm at any time. I am still far behind," Zhou Yan said humbly.
If it were in front of anyone else, Zhou Yan would certainly not be so humble. But the Qilin deserved his humility. This Ancestor Qilin had guarded Ziwei Academy for too long; it was the guardian deity of Ziwei Academy.
"Seeing you two chatting so happily, I almost feel bad interrupting," Wu Qingfeng emerged from the giant tree, with Elder Feng Yu by his side.
Zhou Yan waved his hand, producing an immortal table, four jade stools, a pot of spirit tea, and several cups. "Let's sit down and talk."
Wu Qingfeng glanced at the items before him and chuckled heartily, "You're doing much better than me, the principal. Each of these items is incredibly valuable."
"A table made from immortal wood, stools refined from spirit jade, immortal spirit enlightenment tea, nine-turn exquisite cups, and a purple extreme sacred dragon teapot. The liquid inside is divine fluid, isn't it?"
"Each of these is a treasure of immense value. You can produce them so casually; you truly are extravagant. For an ordinary person, obtaining even one would be fortunate."
"Yet you possess them all, and even these seem to be ordinary items to you. It's no wonder you are so powerful," Wu Qingfeng sighed.
Anyone who could possess such items was undoubtedly formidable. Not just anyone could acquire them; each was a supreme treasure, not for ordinary tea drinking.
The Qilin, rarely seen, transformed into a benevolent old man. Though his hair was white, his body pulsed with surging divine power.
As Zhou Yan poured tea for them, he inquired, "Did you summon me here for something?"
"The matters on Canglan Continent, you were responsible for them, weren't you?" Wu Qingfeng asked.
Zhou Yan understood what Wu Qingfeng was referring to and did not conceal it. "That's right, it was me."
"Next, you plan to move against the Ancient Imperial Dynasty and the Dark Imperial Dynasty, correct?" Wu Qingfeng seemed to have already known Zhou Yan's intentions.
"After the matters on Canglan Continent are resolved, I will indeed deal with them," Zhou Yan replied.
Wu Qingfeng produced a stack of documents and placed them before Zhou Yan. He then said, "While you're at it, eliminate these forces as well."
Zhou Yan was taken aback. He had never expected Wu Qingfeng to ask him to do such a thing.
Was this considered an accomplice? Mr. Zhang San?
Zhou Yan looked at the documents. They contained detailed coordinates and information. Even without coordinates, there was sufficient data.
Moreover, these forces were not from Canglan Continent but from other worlds.
There were the Ancient Imperial Dynasty, the Dark Imperial Dynasty, the Demon Realm, the Demon God Realm, the Douluo Realm, the Dark Soul Realm... involving over a hundred worlds.
Zhou Yan gasped and asked, "I charge a high price. If you want me to deal with these forces, how much compensation are you prepared to offer?"
"After all, this is a cross-realm operation. The fee should be even higher."
"You brat, you don't lack money. I doubt the entire Ziwei Academy combined has as much as you," Elder Feng Yu chuckled.
"You can't say that. You're basically instigating me to cause destruction and kill people. You know, I'm a law-abiding, good citizen, a truly good person."
"You're asking me to do these bad things. Where is your conscience? You're a principal, the principal of a prestigious university. How can you ask someone to do such things!"
"I'm a student, still just a child!"
"How can I do such things!"
The others watched Zhou Yan as he spoke, quietly sipping their tea.
The tea was good, but this person was shameless.
You are law-abiding?
You are a good person?
You haven't done bad deeds?
You are a student... that part is fine, but "just a child"?
They were children too.
Just children who were a bit older.
"Here are some items. You should find them useful." Wu Qingfeng ignored Zhou Yan's words and produced a spatial ring.
Zhou Yan took the ring and examined it. His eyes flashed with satisfaction. "You understand people very well. It's settled!"
Feng Yu looked at Zhou Yan speechlessly. Was this the epitome of shamelessness?
Suddenly, Wu Qingfeng remembered something. "If you eliminate all these forces, I'll give you a second set of documents."
Zhou Yan was immediately speechless. This was endless. He exclaimed indignantly, "No! What do you take me, Zhou Yan, for? Am I the kind of person who does favors for others so readily!"
"We'll increase the price!" Wu Qingfeng said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan quickly asked, "How much more?"
"It won't be less than the price of that spatial ring," Wu Qingfeng replied.
Zhou Yan quickly stepped forward and patted Wu Qingfeng on the shoulder. "Good brother, it's settled. What's between us? Come, let's have a drink!"
Zhou Yan picked up the spirit tea from the table, clinked it with Wu Qingfeng's cup, and drank it down in one gulp.
Eliminating one force was one thing; eliminating two made it a pair. Eliminating a group was no big deal. Eliminating the entire myriad worlds seemed not much different.
The key was that there were rewards. Most importantly, Wu Qingfeng offered too much; he simply couldn't refuse.
Destroying those forces also meant acquiring items from them. This was a win-win situation.
Moreover, Zhou Yan could openly attack those forces with a legitimate reason: taking money to do favors!
"Aren't you curious why we're asking you to deal with these forces?" Feng Yu asked Zhou Yan. He had agreed too readily.
Zhou Yan replied, "That's not important. What's important is that you have needs, and I have needs. Isn't that enough?"
"You make it sound like a business transaction," Feng Yu remarked.
"Isn't it a business transaction? You pay me to solve your problems," Zhou Yan answered.
Although the matter seemed a bit far-fetched, it did make sense.
Zhou Yan hadn't inquired about the reasons from beginning to end.
Wu Qingfeng hadn't explained either.
Zhou Yan didn't care.
He felt this business was profitable, and he could even get paid more after completion!
This was a big deal. It would allow his territory to develop rapidly, so he had to do it.
