Chapter 477 – Disobedience to Death

In the beginning, Nanming Lihuo and Tang Mu Tang had eaten in a gentle manner, but from the beginning, Cen Jiaoxi had never considered himself to beacher or a woman. Although the way he ate was not ugly, it was fast. When Nanming Lihuo and Tang Mu Tang saw that this was no good, they could only increase their speed.

However, An Zheng was a little worried in his heart. Right now, he was forcibly trapped inside, and there was no way for him to escape at all. But if they didn’t leave now, who knew when the potential danger would burst out? And after Fang Zheng’s remnant soul left, it had disappeared without any news, so he still did not know what exactly had happened. If Fang Zheng’s residual soul was under someone’s control, or if he died …

An Zheng shook his head. He had a heavy load on his mind, but he could not show it.

“What should we do?”

An Zheng asked himself in his heart.

Seeing Cen An and the other two, An Zheng suddenly thought of a way. If he did not want any accidents to happen, then there was actually another way besides leaving, and that was to expose himself to the public. It was taller than before, and it allowed itself to appear in everyone’s line of sight at all times. Especially when he was with someone who was powerful and had a profound background. Anyone who wanted to kill him would have some misgivings.

An Zheng thought about it, of course the strongest amongst the three was Cen Jiaoxi. This female instructor was really secretive. That night, she casually razed a hill to the ground and even made a small lake. With such terrifying strength, it would be too good to be a bodyguard.

Therefore, An Zheng immediately made a decision.

“Cen Jiaoxi, I want to ask you a favor.”

“What?”

“I want to move into your little yard.”

“Huh?”

Cen An suddenly raised his head, there was still food in his mouth, and he looked at An Zheng in shock. Perhaps he had thought of something rather awkward, so his face suddenly turned red: “About this …” “You also know that I’m old …”

An Zheng coughed, “Sir, you misunderstood. I mean, if I move into your little yard, you can eat my cooking every day. “In that case, you won’t be able to think of any other way.”

Cen An coughed.

Nanming Lihuo coughed.

Tang Mu Tang raised his head as his mouth was filled with questions: “What is it?”

An Zheng shook his head: “I’m fine, I’m fine. If everyone wants to eat the food I make, you can go to Cen Jiaoxi’s courtyard to eat it.”

Nanming Lihuo said seriously: “I really want to fight with you.”

An Zheng: “Understood.”

Nanming Lihuo was getting anxious: “I really want to fight with you!”

An Zheng: “Mhm, mhm …”

Nanming Lihuo: “Am I supposed to prove myself if I don’t eat it?”

An Zheng: “Mhm?”

Nanming Lihuo: “But why should I prove myself in such a way? “I have a clear conscience …”

He continued to eat.

The news of Nanming Lihuo challenging An Zheng had already spread out. From this, it could be seen that Cen Jiaoxi, who would use any means possible to eat a meal, was not someone to be trifled with. Therefore, a group of people had long been waiting outside An Zheng’s room, ready for the start of the battle. An Zheng had jumped straight from the Golden Ranking to challenge the 20th place disciple of the Purple Ranking, Tang Mu Tang. And he had won, for the disciples, this was simply an annual farce. But now, it seemed that this was just an appetizer. There was still a big show to be played in the afternoon... The tenth ranked Nanming Lihuo challenges An Zheng!

While An Zheng was eating, he pretended to ask inadvertently and confirmed his speculation. Nanming Lihuo was indeed someone from the Left, and right now, the most popular Left Swordhall among the Temple Generals was his grandfather. His father’s name was Zuo Xiong, and he was originally selected to cultivate in the Fa Zen Temple. However, because of a major illness later on, his name was changed to someone else. Nanming Lihuo entered the Fa Zen Temple at the age of six. He started to practice the Buddhist arts at the Fa Zen Temple, but he did not practice the techniques of the buddhist sects.

After all, he was only a nominal disciple, and it was impossible for the Buddhist Sect to pass down their most authentic and top-grade techniques to a nominal disciple, even if he was from the Left. Moreover, the Left’s own cultivation technique was already strong, there was no need for him to cultivate in the Buddhist Sect. Initially, Zuo Hong Liu’s decision was out of respect and gratitude to the Fa Zen Temple.

Nanming Lihuo cultivated at the Fa Zen Temple for 12 years, copying all of the Buddhist scriptures at the Fa Zen Temple ten times before taking his leave. Returning home at the age of eighteen, he hadn’t left his home for four years. Rumors had it that he had already died young. However, at the age of twenty-two, he suddenly requested to enter Three Academies. Starting from the second year, he would challenge the Red List, the Golden Ranking, the Purple Ranking, and enter the Purple Ranking’s tenth place in one year.

Those who were familiar with the Left knew what the situation was, this was Left paving the way for Nanming Lihuo. Those from the Left must enter the military. When Nanming Lihuo cultivated and entered the purple ranking in the Three Academies, he was naturally transferred away by the military.

This was the power of a large family, and no matter how many years a disciple of the Humble Class had been fighting, he could not get his hands on it.

The three of them still had not finished their meal, even after the dishes had been cleaned up.

Cen An said: “I would like to ask for instructions to expel the academy’s chef. Your talent in cooking is so high, why would you cultivate?! ”

An Zheng: “...”

Cen An self-consciously spoke, and laughed awkwardly: “The two of you get ready, you can go to the contest ground later. I will go back to register for you. Also, I have another matter to tell you two. The Headmaster already knows about the competition between the two of you. He will be watching the competition from a place that you two do not know about, so this competition has a lot of significance. ”

As she said these words, her face didn’t turn red, nor did she panic.

Nanming Lihuo immediately became serious: “Disciple understands.”

If he were to know that the female lecturer sitting in front of him who ate in such a brutal manner was the real dean of the academy, who knew if his outlook on life would be completely overturned. One must know that the majority of the disciples of the Three Academies had an unreasonable reverence towards that mysterious dean. Who knew how Cen An managed things in the past few years, to actually make himself look so mysterious and tall.

Perhaps it was to avoid awkwardness after eating that, Nanming Lihuo left An Zheng’s room.

Tang Mu Tang stood up and cupped his hands. “Thank you for the hospitality.”

An Zheng: “There’s no need to be so courteous.”

Tang Mu Tang replied, “I have to say thank you. Although I’m not from a big family, my family background is still good. “You should know as well how the older generations bring up their children …”

He let out a long sigh. “It would be better if a parent doted on you. If grandpa and grandma doted on you again, it would be an extremely terrifying thing to do. When I was young, my grandfather said that boys of course had to eat big fish and big meat to grow tall and strong. So every meal was meat, all kinds of meat, so that by the time I was six years old, the smell of meat would be endless. “From the age of six until now, I haven’t been able to eat a single mouthful of meat, so I am the skinniest in my family …”

A group of able-bodied men uncontrollably appeared in An Zheng’s mind, surrounding a thin and weak little boy. All of them had fake smiles on their faces: “Darling, it’s alright, come and have a bite of the meat.”

An Zheng shook his head with all his might to get rid of this scene from his mind, and looked at Tang Mu Tang with sympathy.

Tang Mu Tang said: “In the end, forget about eating meat, even eating food has become difficult. As soon as I smell the food, I want to vomit. All these years, he had been relying on pills to maintain his body. But that day when you were cooking in Cen Jiaoxi’s small courtyard, the fragrance of the cabbage actually made me salivate. Ever since that day, the smell has been lingering in my nose. It’s not like I have the nerve to come and find you, so I could only wait for you to come challenge the Purple Rankings. ”

An Zheng laughed: “You and I are friends from today onwards, I will teach you how to make some common dishes, as long as the seasonings are placed in the correct order, the quantity is no problem, the temperature is no problem, the taste of the dishes will not be bad.”

“Sure, sure!”

Tang Mu Tang was exceptionally excited: “I’ve wanted to learn to cook for a long time, otherwise I wouldn’t have to suffer …”

He laughed embarrassedly: “I have let you down. I will leave first, you still have to prepare for the duel with Nanming Lihuo … Oh yes, there’s one thing you should take note of. Nanming Lihuo was born in the Left, and the sword qi of the Left was one of the strongest sword qi in the Da Xi family, one of the families who had comprehended the deepest in the way of the sword. Do you know why the Great Monk of the Fa Zen Temple gave him the name Nanming Lihuo after he entered the Fa Zen Temple? ”

“Why?”

“Explode!”

Tang Mu Tang replied with one word: “His Cultivation Power can only be described with one word, and that is explosive. It’s rumored that Nanming Lihuo Sword is the first Buddha of the Buddhist Sect to use his power to refine the Demon Sword, and it’s rumored that he has the might of the heavens. ”

An Zheng nodded: “I understand.”

He cupped his fists in thanks.

After Tang Mu Tang had left, An Zheng packed up a few things before heading towards the contest ground. Along the way, there was an endless stream of people, and those girls who were waiting for An Zheng to come out didn’t even have lunch. When they saw An Zheng, they were so excited that it was as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

An Zheng saw the cute little loli once again and smiled at her. The little girl’s face immediately flushed red with happiness and satisfaction.

Just as An Zheng was about to reach the contest ground, his instructor in theory really stopped him halfway.

“You really want to fight with Nanming Lihuo?”

“Yes!”

“You should give up. Even though your talent and strength are very strong, you are definitely not Nanming Lihuo’s match. I have observed your Cultivation Power before, you are at most at the early stage of the Lower Completion Stage. Although you are already considered an unparalleled genius at your age, your accumulation is definitely not as good as someone from a large clan like that. ”

“I don’t think losing is a disgraceful thing.”

“But you may die.”

Fang Xing was serious: “Do you know Nanming Lihuo? His Cultivation Power was too... It was too violent. Once he made a move, there would be no room for manoeuvre. That was why his family had chosen to send him to the Fa Zen Temple. Even though he had been copying scriptures in the Fa Zen Temple for 12 years, he had only suppressed some of the ruthless aura in his body. But if you were to fight with him, and if he were to use True Fire, you will be in great danger. ”

An Zheng: “Aren’t people forbidden to kill in the academy.”

Fang Huanzhen replied: “But he is from the Left. The people from the Left killed people, so it’s not considered killing people.”

An Zheng frowned slightly, “Thank you for your concern, sir, but I still have to fight in this battle. If this battle is over, regardless of whether I win or lose, I will cultivate seriously in Mister’s class until I meet His Majesty, the Great Emperor. Then, I will be returning to the State of Yan. I am deeply grateful for Mister’s previous beautiful intentions. ”

Fang Zhen sighed, “There is no way out if we stay in the State of Yan.”

An Zheng: “Yes.”

He only said that one word, and was not willing to say anything more, so he directly headed towards the contest ground. An old man who looked like a servant shakily walked to Fang Shishi’s side and asked in a low voice, “You don’t agree?”

“Nope.”

“How unfortunate.”

The service elder shook his head: “The first lord has appeared. You should prepare yourself and give the order for all Ming Fa Si members to gather in an hour, whether it is in the dark or on the surface. The exact news was that the first lord had not died yet, moreover, he had been captured by some people. He would be sent to the imperial palace in two hours. Even if our Ming Fa Si were to rebel against the heavens, we have to save our first lord. ”

Hearing these words, Fang Xing clenched his fist tightly, “Then it’s fine if he doesn’t want to stay. Ming Fa Si would rather die in battle, so I have to show my attitude.”

The old servant nodded. “That’s right. This time, no matter who, no matter how difficult, we will stand by the leader’s side. We would rather die than submit.”
