"With one punch, the Treasure Tree sent a person flying through two li of the void, crashing heavily into the lake..."
"Could it be... Lu Tiannan and You Shou?"
Ansheng, poking his head up from the bed, heard the live report from the black-breasted cockroach, and immediately showed a strange expression, silently musing to himself.
You Shou had diligently tracked down Shasha, so Ansheng kept his word and told Lu Tiannan and You Shou how to obtain the Treasure Tree Spirit Liquid...
Ansheng gave the Ba Mountain Mosquito's WeChat signal and address to Lu Tiannan and You Shou, leaving them to handle the negotiation themselves.
If the person who was just sent flying really is Lu Tiannan and You Shou, then... it seems the negotiation fell through.
"Wh...what happened?"
The teachers and students of the entire academy were awakened by that powerful sound wave and shaking. Ah Qing especially shot up and hugged Huhu's waist, warily surveying the surroundings.
Ah Qing hadn't experienced an earthquake directly, but she'd witnessed its aftereffects many times.
Thus, sensing the bed was shaking, Ah Qing quickly jumped up to observe the environment.
If anything seemed off, she would immediately grab Huhu and quickly climb over the wall to run to an open space.
"Was it an earthquake?"
Momo yawned, hunched over, sitting in her bed, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the little fox in Ah Qing's arms and asked:
"Should we... make a run for it now? Huhu should be able to sense if it's the main shock or a foreshock, right?"
"You're asking me?"
Ansheng pretended to ponder and said, "Well... my suggestion is to run now, as fast as you can, or you might miss out on a chance to watch the drama unfold."
"What just happened wasn't a foreshock or a main shock, it was someone having a spiritual tremor due to the Qinling Divine Tree..."
"A fight? How could it be this intense?!"
Hearing the little fox speak human words, the sisters in the dorm all expressed their confusion with wide eyes.
The sisters exchanged glances, then simultaneously leaped out of their beds at lightning speed, pulling on their clothes and grabbing Huhu's small hand, dashing out of the dorm to be on the scene for the drama.
Ah Qing and her friends had never witnessed such a Spirit Beast fight.
The only time a kangaroo invaded the campus, they were quarantined by the Security Bureau and sent to the cafeteria for refuge.
"Wow! Wow wow—"
Just as Ah Qing and her friends stepped out, they saw a Treasure Tree junior with dark green hair, wearing a white nightdress, riding on the Ba Mountain Mosquito's shoulders, running down the road.
The Ba Mountain Mosquito held Treasure Tree's thighs with a solemn expression, jogging forward, while Treasure Tree was filled with righteous indignation, waving her fist over the Ba Mountain Mosquito's head.
"Eh? Good morning, Godfather..."
The Ba Mountain Mosquito, having just jogged past, jogged backwards back to Master Fuli, greeting a bit shyly since Ah Qing and the others were also nearby.
"What are you guys doing? The ground just shook..."
Under Ah Qing and her friends' surprised gaze, Ansheng slightly turned his head, overlooking Ah Qing's watching and looked at the Ba Mountain Mosquito to inquire.
"The other side tried to rob us, we took him down..." The Ba Mountain Mosquito responded tersely to Master Fuli.
The two-headed freak on the other side, especially the right head, spoke particularly arrogantly.
Always mentioning the Security Bureau, repeatedly demanding the Treasure Tree Spirit Liquid.
Treasure Tree had met people from the Security Bureau, they were always kind uncles and aunties, who would bring some local specialties every time.
But this two-headed freak came empty-handed, babbling strange words.
Treasure Tree was quite sure that the person was a fake, definitely a spy as Wang Qiqi often mentioned.
"Wow..."
Reporting back to Master Fuli, Treasure Tree raised her hand and pointed forward, preparing to root out the mole for the Security Bureau.
Watching the back of Treasure Tree and the Ba Mountain Mosquito, Ansheng showed an unusual expression on his face, pondering silently:
"Could it be..."
"We are also part of your correction play?"
You Shou acted erratically, it's not surprising for it to cause any sort of big trouble.
But Lu Tiannan was also there, and he had control over the body. Although he was a bit wild, he was experienced in dealings and shouldn't have provoked Treasure Tree so much.
So the only reasonable explanation is that Lu Tiannan was subtly training You Shou.
Using the hand of the Treasure Tree to exert some pressure on You Shou.
"Hit it! It's the one trying to sip the Tree's sap, quick, let the beasts kill this beast!"
"Everyone stand back! Watch me, the old bull, ram it dead!"
"You hold it, I'll get the dump truck, we Emei monkeys aren't afraid of going to jail..."
When Ansheng arrived at the scene, the Qinling Spirit Beasts had already gathered by the lakeside. The Treasure Tree Ant hovered low in the air, screeching, waving its hand, announcing You Shou's misdeeds, guiding the spirit beasts to come and gang up.
"What a tough guy, this resistant?" Momo stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the conjoined person flying in the sky, who hadn't touched the ground the entire time.
"What, what, what, what's everyone doing here!"
"Don't you know there's a meeting today? Go, go, go, everyone go to the cafeteria to line up for food..."
Wang Qiqi, with a face of black lines, squeezed out of the pile of spirit beasts with the Golden Leopard, grabbing the Treasure Tree Ant, who was frantically calling for friends with pheromones.
If the Treasure Tree Ant called in more spirit beasts, even the livestock from the School of Animal Science next door would come to join the fun.
"It's a spirit beast trafficker, I report it!" Treasure Tree pointed at the righteously beaten You Shou, with a serious expression as she reported to Wang Qiqi.
"......"
Wang Qiqi glanced at Lu Tiannan, wearing a mask and covering his head with his arms, then looked at the heavily injured You Shou, speechless, he could only look towards the onlooking Master Fuli.
"Disperse, disperse, all of you go to the lakeside, lower your heads, drink water like nothing happened..."
"Otherwise, if Yang Xiao calls the police later, the Forestry Bureau comrades can only go through the motions and send you to your tribe's distribution area, better think it through, there's no cafeteria in the deep forest to feed you..."
Master Fuli stood on Ah Qing's shoulder, looked at the gathered spirit beasts, waved them off to the lakeside to act like nothing happened, letting him and Wang Qiqi handle the rest.
"Master..."
You Shou, sore all over from the beating, looked at Master Fuli with a sad expression, began accusing Lu Tiannan:
"I want to report as well! Lu Tiannan set me up, leaving me ambushed by the Treasure Tree and spirit beasts..."
You Shou, usually acting arrogant and erratic, showed a rare expression of grievance, pouring out his grievances against Lu Tiannan.
"Oh? Old Lu, you set up You Shou?"
Master Fuli slightly raised an eyebrow, looked at Lu Tiannan with interest, asking.
"No..."
Facing Master Fuli's inquiry, Lu Tiannan shook his head and said: "I agreed for You Shou to obtain the Spiritual Liquid, but You Shou didn't trust me at all, it said it didn't need my help..."
"Therefore, I even ceded control of the right half of my body entirely to You Shou, stuffed cloth in my mouth, even worried about my looks affecting the negotiation, I even covered my face with a mask..."
Lu Tiannan spoke fluently, with a hint of blatant teasing in his tone as he raised an eyebrow towards You Shou.
You Shou, arrogant and self-important, had those four words perpetually etched on his forehead.
Lu Tiannan set up You Shou, but also didn't set up, he even cooperated fully, giving You Shou half control of his body for the negotiation.
The result, this fool opened his mouth and was knocked physically flying two li away.
"Verbose... it's all your fault." You Shou, slightly guilty, retorted, not his usual confident and arrogant self, rather displaying compliance.
"Oh You... You..."
After listening to Lu Tiannan and You Shou's account, Master Fuli looked at You Shou, then at the sky, and spoke earnestly to You Shou:
"As for this matter, right or wrong, as an outsider, I won't comment on it..."
"But I want to remind you, Shasha is currently driving a truck day and night, rushing to our Chang'an City to start work."
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should arrive the day after tomorrow."
You Shou: "!!!"
You Shou widened his eyes, pupils trembling, looking at Master Fuli with a face full of horror.
"Isn't it a parasitic Sea Beast? How could it possibly come inland?!"
