"What if... what if the dean becomes more generous this year?" Ma Hongjun said, mentioning this possibility. He was an expert at dreaming.
Oscar shrugged. "If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do. But it seems our academy's harvest this year is better than the previous two years, so your dream might actually have a chance to come true."
"Really?" Upon hearing that his dream might come true, Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up. "Xiao Ao, how about we sneak off and go take a look?"
Oscar: "Does this need to be done secretly? What's the difference between being secretive and being open? Anyway, the dean is going to protect his own pockets. Rather than being secretive, we should be aggressive and catch him off guard!"
"Uh," Ma Hongjun gave a thumbs up, "It has to be you again, Xiao Ao!"
No wonder he's the dean's favorite son!
Next, Oscar and Ma Hongjun deliberately approached Flander, one striking up a conversation and the other probing. Although Flander's attention was diverted, he was more astute than anyone else when it came to money.
After confirming the two boys' true intentions, Flander gave them both a whack with a hammer. "You brats, you dare to try and steal my money? You've got some nerve!"
"Ouch!" Oscar and Ma Hongjun cried out in unison, the two unfortunate brothers clutching their heads and saying in unison, "Dean, I was just curious! How could you leave your money out like that? That's not like you at all!"
Oscar even had a reason for being discovered.
Ma Hongjun was simply following along with what he was told.
Flander glanced at Oscar and snorted, "You're quite observant, aren't you!"
"Otherwise what? Dean, you raised me, don't I know you well?" Oscar chuckled, then set his sights on Flander's pockets again. "Dean, tell me, what is it? Are you planning to give each of us a red envelope?"
"No." Seeing Oscar's lewd smile, Flander immediately denied it. "It's just an empty red envelope."
"Empty red envelopes?" Ma Hongjun asked疑惑地, "Dean, if they're not giving us red envelopes, why did you buy them?"
"He didn't buy them." Zhao Wuji, who was working nearby, suddenly interjected, "They were given away as part of a promotion. He thought one wasn't enough, so he took a few more and argued with the salesperson for quite a while."
"Huh?" Oscar and Ma Hongjun gaped in surprise.
Flander frowned. "Old Zhao! How dare you talk like that! He was the one who insisted on giving it to me!"
How can you portray him as someone who takes advantage of others?
"Yes, yes, he insisted on giving it to you!" Zhao Wuji responded repeatedly, shaking his head.
Flanders glared at him, then quickly shooed the two children away, "Go, go, go do your own thing, don't get in the way!"
"Okay, okay, we'll go right now, we'll go right now!"
"Really, it wasn't a red envelope for us."
"Alright, I've already told you it's not for us, but you wouldn't believe me. You insisted on asking, on banging your head against a brick wall. Now look what you've done, you've lost all hope, haven't you?"
"Ah, if only I could meet a rich woman who would feed and pamper me!"
"You have so many daydreams, you can't possibly finish them all."

Time flies, and after the New Year holidays, Ning Shu insisted on dragging Jiang Mo to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
Before that, Jiangmo sent a letter to Qian Renxue, who was far away in the Tiandou Imperial Palace.
The letter was basically about inquiring about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is located within the Heavenly Dou Empire. If it truly is a treasure trove, Qian Renxue couldn't possibly be unaware of it. Therefore, before accompanying Ning Shu there, he first sent a message to Qian Renxue.
If there are really many treasures inside, then Qian Renxue can openly and legitimately collect them.
After all, at this time, Qian Renxue was Xue Qinghe.
"By the way, Ah Shu, I happen to have someone I want to introduce you to. You can meet them while you're on your way to the Heavenly Dou Empire."
On the way, Jiangmo thought of Ning Shu, who was his disciple after all. He had already communicated with Qian Renxue beforehand about going to the Tiandou Empire. Although Qian Renxue's identity could not be easily exposed, judging from Ning Shu's appearance, she was not one to talk too much. If Ning Shu hadn't insisted that there were good things in the Yin-Yang Well, he wouldn't have wanted to accompany her on this trip. But let's just consider it a coincidence. Qian Renxue must be lonely in the Tiandou Empire. It doesn't seem like it's not a bad idea to trick Ning Shu into going there.
Thinking of this, he didn't wait for Ning Shu's reply and asked again, "A-Shu, you told me before that you returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to clear your name of some unfounded accusations, right?"
"Hmm, I guess so." Ning Shu nodded, then looked at Jiang Mo, "Master, why are you suddenly asking this?"
"There's something I've been thinking about for a while," the Demon-Slaying Dao said. "But Ah Shu, although you've cleared your name this time, your identity hasn't returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, right?"
"Yes, I didn't agree." Ning Shu nodded again, her brows furrowing slightly, somewhat puzzled. "Master, what's wrong?"
"Um……"
After pondering for a moment, Jiangmo said, "Your master has a bold idea."
"A bold idea? What bold idea?" Ning Shu asked.
After pondering for a moment, Jiangmo slowly said, "I want to send you into the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace."
"What?"
Ning Shu frowned even more deeply. "Master, are you going to sell me?"
"What's being sold!" the demon-slaying demon explained. "Didn't I just tell you? There's someone I want to introduce you to. She's in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace."
"..."
Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace?
How about we introduce ourselves?
Ning Shu was taken aback.
Could it be Qian Renxue?
Now it was the demon-slaying man's turn to be stunned.
Good guy.
This girl knows Qian Renxue?
The demon-slaying man paused.
wrong!
The young master's identity and name have never been made public, so how could she know of his existence?
Jiangmo looked at Ning Shu with a somewhat surprised expression.
Ning Shu exchanged a glance with him. "Master, why are you looking at me like that?"
strange.
The demon-slaying demon realized what was happening, his expression complicated. "No, it's nothing."
How did she know about the young master?
Could it be that she and the young master already knew each other?
No matter how he thought about it, Jiangmo felt something was wrong.
This girl always has strange ideas.
"Master, you still haven't told me who you're going to introduce me to. Aren't you going to tell me?" Ning Shu pressed.
[If it really is Qian Renxue, I'd be willing to go to the Heavenly Dou Empire, a million times over. I just love her type; I'd marry her without a problem!]
"puff!"
The demon choked.
What a mess!
