Chapter 221: Dean: You, a dignified Half-Saint, stay hidden instead of making a name for yourself The next day, when the sun was already high in the sky. Chu Feng arrived outside the dean’s private residence riding the eagle. Man and eagle both respectfully bowed toward the courtyard. “Disciple Chu Feng has come to pay respects to the dean.” “Your child, Jinchi Diao, has come to pay respects to adoptive father.” Hearing this, Chu Feng turned his head and gave the Jinchi Diao a strange look, blurting out instinctively, “I didn’t expect you to be this kind of eagle.” Just as he finished speaking, the dean’s aged yet kindly voice came from within the courtyard. “Xiao Feng, come in.” “Thank you, Dean.” Chu Feng led the Jinchi Diao through the front yard, and soon they saw the dean seated in the pavilion in the back garden. “Jinchi Diao, how many times have I told you I’m not your father? Don’t call me adoptive father—why won’t you listen?” The dean’s face immediately darkened at the sight of the eagle. The Jinchi Diao, completely stripped of its usual arrogance, shrank back like a child who had done something wrong, timidly replying, “Understood, adoptive father.” Hearing this, Chu Feng nearly couldn’t resist adding: “And I’ll dare to do it again next time.” The dean merely shook his head helplessly, showing no intention of scolding the Jinchi Diao. He turned his gaze toward Chu Feng instead. “Xiao Feng, what brings you here to see me today?” Chu Feng cupped his fists and said, “Reporting to the dean, this disciple wishes to take Elder Bing with me to the mortal world to temper my Dao heart.” After hearing this, the dean stroked his beard and said lightly, “I approve.” “Thank you, Dean.” Chu Feng smiled as he replied. Although Wendao Academy didn’t restrict the movements of the various institute heads, as a head, leaving the academy still required reporting. Otherwise, if something happened and no one could reach him, many matters would go unresolved. However, such things didn’t apply to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute—after all, there were only a handful of people there. The dean said with exasperation, “Why are you being so formal with me? Even if you didn’t want to go out, I was planning to make you go experience the world. You, a dignified Half-Saint, stay holed up here in Miaomiao Mountain taking in disciples, not making a name for yourself in the world—only you would do something like that.” “...” Chu Feng was speechless. He thought to himself: Is being cautious a sin? “Dean’s teaching is right.” The dean sipped his tea, then suddenly remembered something and spoke: “By the way, since you’re heading out, I have something I’d like you to handle.” Chu Feng replied, “Please give your instructions, Dean.” The dean smiled and said, “No need to be so polite with me. This time, I want you to travel south to Myriad Demon Mountain, to the Fox Immortal Valley, and meet a great saint of the fox clan. Bring back a fox demon to Wendao Academy for cultivation.” Upon hearing this, Chu Feng instinctively asked, “Will you personally guide her?” The dean stroked his beard and replied, “We’ll see then. If you like her, you can take her in as a disciple.” Chu Feng asked, “Is there a time limit?” “Within thirty years. Anytime is fine.” As he spoke, the dean took out a scented pouch from his storage ring and handed it to Chu Feng. “This is a token. When you meet the Thousand Illusions Great Saint, just give it to her.” Chu Feng received the pouch with both hands, then looked at the dean with a gossipy gaze. He was tempted to ask something reckless, but in the end, he chose to play it safe—caution is the way. Of course, the dean could see right through Chu Feng’s thoughts. He smiled and said, “Don’t overthink it. I’ve only met that Thousand Illusions Great Saint a few times. This is simply to fulfill an old friend’s wish.” Chu Feng nodded, smiling brightly, and said, “I understand. The dean has a friend who likes fox spirits.” “Hm?” The dean stared directly at Chu Feng, “Are you trying to say that friend is actually me?” “I’m not, I didn’t, don’t make things up!” Chu Feng denied it three times in a row—so thorough even he couldn’t find a single flaw. The dean laughed and said, “You brat, always speaking with that sarcastic tone—just like that old Kong. I’ll tell you the truth: the previous owner of that scented pouch was that old Kong.” Chu Feng: “...” He ended up gossiping about his own half-master. What a pity—it wasn’t the dean’s secret. As for that half-master, Chu Feng couldn’t be bothered to gossip. That guy spent his days bragging anyway. He respectfully said, “Dean, please rest assured. I will handle this matter perfectly.” “Mm, you may go now.” The dean showed a very tired expression and waved his hand at Chu Feng. “Disciple takes his leave.” “Your child takes his leave.” Just as Chu Feng spoke, the Jinchi Diao beside him chimed in as well. Man and eagle left the dean’s courtyard together. “Brother Eagle, you really have guts—daring to forcefully claim the dean as your adoptive father?” As soon as they left the courtyard, Chu Feng gave Jinchi Diao a thumbs-up. Jinchi Diao made a “shhh” gesture at him and said, “This isn’t the place to talk. If you don’t want to get beaten up, let’s head back to Miaomiao Mountain first.” “You actually know fear?” Chu Feng couldn’t help teasing. Jinchi Diao ignored him, leaving behind only a meaningful silhouette. Chu Feng leapt onto Jinchi Diao’s back and flew toward Miaomiao Mountain. As soon as they returned, Elder Bing came out to greet them. “Sir, what did the dean say?” “Sigh...” Chu Feng let out a long sigh. “I originally just wanted to go out quietly, but the dean insisted I go make a name for myself. It’s honestly quite troublesome!” Elder Bing: “...” She suddenly didn’t feel like talking to her master. Why did he have to show off in that tone? Seeing her remain silent, Chu Feng said, “Now everything is ready. We’re just waiting for Caiyi to make a breakthrough in her cultivation. Until this little girl enters the path, as her master, I can’t go enjoy myself freely outside.” Elder Bing didn’t object. She was a master herself and, by habit, returned to the mountain every month to instruct her disciples. “This time, should we bring a few disciples with us?” Chu Feng shook his head. “I don’t plan to. Do you?” Elder Bing thought for a moment. “I won’t either. I’ll make arrangements for them in the next few days, and let my senior disciple at the Spirit Nurturing Realm guide them a bit.” “Then let’s just bring Brother Eagle with us on this journey.” Chu Feng spoke as he returned to his study to check his storage ring, seeing if there was anything else he needed to prepare. In a separate residence on Miaomiao Mountain. Chu Caiyi was in closed-door cultivation. To avoid being disturbed, she had prepared several fasting pills. By day, she meditated on the Chaos Divine Demon Visualization Diagram, and by night, she contemplated the moon, resting only three hours each day. Day after day passed, and it had already been forty-nine days since Chu Caiyi began her seclusion. That night, after returning from moon contemplation, she didn’t rest but instead walked over to the visualization diagram to continue her training. Just as Chu Caiyi’s gaze landed on the diagram, she suddenly noticed a change—the once-chaotic image now revealed a bright full moon. The instant the moon appeared, she sensed her surroundings had undergone a complete transformation. She was now standing within the chaos itself. Before Chu Caiyi could react to what was happening, the moon within the chaos had already turned into a blurred silhouette... Hey readers!
