NOVEL NEXT Chapter 102: Please, sell it to me.
The instructor of the Fengtian Star Academy was so angry that his face twisted. He asked Jin Yuman in a threatening tone, "Are you sure you don't want to return to the Fengtian Star Academy?" But this time, he couldn't threaten Jin Yuman anymore. Jin Yuman hid behind the headmaster of the Pinglan Star Academy and shouted loudly, "Anyway, I will never spend money to buy off the first place to get the Three-flower Fire-tongue Vine, and she will definitely not accept bribes from others. Just give up this idea!" The audience had originally thought it was a bit strange that Jin Yuman, a student of the Fengtian Star Academy, suddenly wanted to join the Pinglan Star Academy. Hearing these words, they all exploded. "What do you mean?" "Who wants to buy off the first place to get the Three-flower Fire-tongue Vine?" "Really? It's not what I thought, right?" "Buying off the first place on the spot and asking the poor family cultivator to present the Three-flower Fire-tongue Vine to the families? Is the scene of the poor family cultivator selling the Star-building Grass going to repeat itself?" "Lan Zhi! Don't be bribed!" "I've completely seen the true face of the families!" "Families, get out of the Pinglan Star Academy!" Seeing that the situation was not right, the first, second, and seventh elders immediately changed their attitude and frowned, "Jin Yuman, what nonsense are you talking about? Who said to ask you to buy off the first place? It's your freedom if you want to transfer to the Pinglan Star Academy to study, but it's a bit disgusting for you to smear the Fengtian Star Academy that taught you before like this, isn't it?" Jin Yuman said, "Obviously it was you who ordered—" The instructor of the Fengtian Star Academy was so sharp that he immediately turned the matter around and pinned it on her, "Jin Yuman, how can you talk like this? Didn't you say before that you still hoped to return to the Fengtian Star Academy to study and that you would drop out on the spot after being admitted to the Pinglan Star Academy? Why are you bringing up the Three-flower Fire-tongue Vine now?" Jin Yuman's face turned red with anger at their false accusations, but the more anxious she was, the less she could say, "You... you..." She simply couldn't say a word. Moreover, she found that she had no evidence at all! Her heart immediately sank. The instructor of the Fengtian Star Academy interrupted her expressionlessly, "Stop talking. If you don't want to return to the Fengtian Star Academy, then don't. We respect your freedom and hope you have a better life in the Pinglan Star Academy." Before Jin Yuman could think of words to refute, the first, second, and seventh elders followed up and changed the topic, "However, I did originally plan to buy the Three-flower Fire-tongue Vine from Lan Zhi privately later... Since you've brought it up, it's okay to buy it now." He turned around and said to Lan Zhi in front of everyone, "There's a young relative in my family with extremely high talent. He accidentally got infected with filthy qi while doing the filth-cleansing task and urgently needs the Three-flower Fire-tongue Vine. You can't use this medicine now. Why don't you consider transferring it to me? Just tell me how much money you want. As long as I can afford it." Everyone was shocked by his shamelessness. The elders of the dignified Tianyi family personally came forward to trample on the face of the poor families and still said it so righteously. They didn't even know how to refute. Lan Zhi didn't refute and simply said, "I won't sell it." The first, second, and seventh elders sighed deeply, "I also know that this is a bit of a stretch, but Tingyou can't wait any longer." He turned his head and waved to the people from the families. Soon, someone pushed Feng Tingyou out. Feng Tingyou was in high spirits when she was doing tasks in the Jiqing Tower some time ago. Wearing a purple robe paired with a gold-threaded armor and brandishing a whip with gold threads, she was as domineering as a queen when she pointed it at their noses. Now she seemed like a completely different person. She sat haggardly in a four-wheeled cart, her face pale with a bluish-gray tint, wrapped thickly in bandages, her flamboyant eyebrows and eyes drooping sadly, her eyes red-rimmed, and she actually looked rather pitiful. She looked at Lan Zhi, and tears streamed down her face directly. She choked and said, "Please, could you sell the Three-flower Fire-tongue Vine to me?"
