Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1220 - 22: Chen the Heavenly Monarch’s Immortal Peach and Phoenix (2)
So what’s she up to?
Chu Jiang was thoroughly baffled, mainly because there weren’t any concrete clues, and she couldn’t understand the cause and effect lines.
It’s like the problem X+Y=Z; asking me to solve for Z, what am I supposed to do?
While Chu Jiang was caught up in her internal dilemma, the lightning tribulation in the sky was also coming to an end.
Brand new feathers emitting golden-red light grew out from the Ghost Car’s body, and the previously ferocious cries became harmonious and soft.
In the third year of Ming Country, on the ninth day of the ninth month, the Master Brother Ji Yan at Penglai Immortal Academy was officially promoted to Earth Immortal.
Amidst the gentle drizzle, the bright sunshine pierced through the clouds; Penglai Island once again became idyllic, birds singing and flowers blooming.
Many junior brothers and sisters stood at the mountain gate, prepared to celebrate for the Master Brother.
However, Ji Yan, who had transformed back into human form, didn’t seem particularly happy.
With a few words, he sent the junior brothers and sisters away and hurriedly changed into new clothes, entering one of the caves in the Immortal Academy.
"Something went wrong with Master Brother’s promotion!"
Chu Jiang was quietly absorbing the experience she had just gained below Qilin Cliff when she overheard two senior brothers whispering above her.
"How could something go wrong?"
"Why else would he go to Chen Tianjun’s cave?"
"What’s wrong with Chen Tianjun, he won’t eat him."
"Are you sure?"
Originally thinking that these idle words had nothing to do with her, Chu Jiang woke up the next morning to see Chen Tianjun in person.
The so-called ten Tianjuns is a nickname the disciples at the Immortal Academy have for the ten professors on the island.
Chen Tianjun, whose real name is Chen Yajing, is one of the only two females among the ten Tianjuns, the other being Li Mumu’s mother, Li Ya.
The String Theory studied by Li Ya is generally incomprehensible to people, and since entering the Penglai Immortal Academy, you could count the disciples who have become her students on one finger.
But the subject of Chen Yajing’s research is relatively simple and straightforward.
Her major is biology.
Her life resume is extremely complex, and just picking one aspect can prove her skill level—she solved the hereditary disease in the Jade Blood Spirit Clan where members couldn’t go out in the daylight and had to maintain their lives by consuming human blood.
Speaking of her ability, she truly has it, but her reputation at Penglai isn’t very good.
She’s particularly greedy and wants to taste everything.
There’s a saying that describes people from Guangdong Province as not eating stools although they eat everything with four legs, and they don’t eat live people although they eat everything with two legs.
But in her case, she simply doesn’t eat stools.
One can imagine how tempting the complex alumni composition at Penglai Immortal Academy is for her.
Even Chu Jiang has been harassed by her.
And it’s not just Chu Jiang; even the newcomer Xiaodie has been harassed by her.
She said she wanted to try what zombie meat tastes like.
Such a fierce person, in the entire Penglai Immortal Academy, apart from Master Brother Ji Yan, no one doesn’t shudder upon seeing her.
Suddenly seeing this Great Immortal visit her, Chu Jiang couldn’t help but shiver a little inside.
No way, Auntie, you’re here again?
"Good morning, little Chu!"
With a harmless expression wearing a lab coat and glasses, Chen Tianjun seemed like a caring elder sister, waving cheerfully to Chu Jiang.
Just judging from her appearance, you wouldn’t think she is nearly forty; at most she looks twenty-four. Soft and weak with a scholarly air, easily making people lower their guard.
Old cucumber painted green, pretending to be fresh!
"Professor Chen, morning."
Chu Jiang couldn’t quite discern her intention and could only respond cautiously.
"Little Chu, I see you’ve been in closed-door cultivation recently, looking quite free..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
What does looking quite free mean?
Closed-door cultivation is cultivation, isn’t it!
"Would you like to accompany me to do a project outside?"
Chen Tianjun straightforwardly stated her intentions and offered candies: "You can earn academic credits!"
What kind of crazy academic credits!
Is Penglai Immortal Academy even a credit-based graduation system? Why wasn’t I informed!
Chu Jiang quietly asked, "Professor Chen, where are you going?"
"To Xiangjiang, oh, and bring that little pepper!"
Chen Tianjun pointed to the little Xiaodie hiding behind Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang frowned: "Professor Chen, Junior Sister was brought back by Senior Xiao from Xiangjiang, she has significant cause and effect there..."
"I know, her entire family was made into something, right."
Chen Tianjun nodded: "Helping her take revenge on the side, it’s really nothing much."
Darn it, I don’t touch cause and effect, it barges straight at me.
Chu Jiang silently ridiculed in her heart.
But she wouldn’t agree so easily.
Privately, she and Chen Tianjun didn’t have much personal relationship, and, publicly speaking, there’s no rule that requires a mentor’s approval for graduation at Penglai Immortal Academy either.
Even if there is such a rule, I could just go through back channels with my mom, there’s no need to beg anyone else.
So Chu Jiang was somewhat confused about why Chen Tianjun thought she would agree to such a thing?
"Just me and Junior Sister?"
"Of course not, I called up everyone who can fight."
Chen Tianjun put on a serious expression: "Not just you, but also Ji Yan, Xu Changge, Yin Nan, Zhou Kun..."
What’s up? Forming a raid to fight Illidan?
Listening to the list of names, Chu Jiang was shocked.
Ji Yan and Xu Changge aside, she had seen Yin Nan’s talent at summoning spirits guiding path.
The most important is Zhou Kun.
He’s no student, but Zhou Tianjun.
Plus me... Two Tianjuns with four major disciples from Penglai Immortal Academy and a garlic-peeling girl. What exactly are you planning?
"Professor Chen, you’re really..."
"Going to help Ji Yan settle things."
Chen Tianjun said: "You know Ji Yan finished his lightning tribulation yesterday, gene mutation, he’s half a phoenix now. During the tribulation, he glimpsed the heavenly way and realized he had unresolved cause and effect at Xiangjiang that he must personally handle. But he has no confidence in his strength, so he asked me for help..."
No confidence in his strength?
Can you hear the words that are coming out of your mouth?
A Nine-headed Bird with no confidence in his strength, casually went through the tribulation in broad daylight on the ninth day of the ninth month.
And he has his own unresolved cause and effect, he should solve it himself, why go to Chen Tianjun?
Chu Jiang deeply eyed Chen Tianjun.
"Professor Chen, do you want to eat phoenix meat?"
Chen Tianjun silently wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth: "Don’t speak nonsense, you children just believe the rumors at school and always misunderstand me deeply."
"You cooked dumplings for me when I first came, secretly drugging them..."
"Don’t mention those old things, just asking if you’re coming or not?"
"Not going."
"Go and you can have peaches to eat."
"What am I, a monkey?"
"Yes, just like the kind monkeys eat."
"Flat Peach?"
"Yup, one per person, great for beauty and good looks!"
Chu Jiang went silent.
Chen Tianjun indeed has a flat peach tree in her cave.
Just like the one in Empress’s garden in Journey to the West.
Although it doesn’t take three thousand years to ripen, it’s genuinely an Immortal Fruit.
Many know of it, but no one dares to steal.
If you have your thoughts on Chen Tianjun’s peach, she may be thinking something about you.
Am I the type to covet your house’s peaches?
Chu Jiang glanced at the peach, as large as a sand boiler, pure and tender pink, exuding a captivating fragrance from Chen Tianjun’s hands...
I am.
It looks very sweet, definitely not the type that except for its appearance, has nothing else going for it, biting into it feels like a radish, a gift peach.
Most importantly, it seems to really contain a hint of immortal aura.
Chu Jiang covertly swallowed hard: "Xiaodie..."
"Xiaodie will definitely get one too."
Chen Tianjun produced another peach: "Xiaodie, Xiaodie, come out and eat the peach!"
Xiaodie hiding behind Chu Jiang hesitated for a while and quietly asked: "Can you avenge me?"
This child has always been sparing with words, and at first, Chu Jiang even thought she didn’t speak.
Even when she speaks, her voice is dark and raspy.
Can you expect a good voice from a zombie...?
"That little matter, any of your senior brothers or sisters can help you solve it."
Chen Tianjun waved the peach in her hand, enticing them: "Follow the professor outside, guaranteed you’ll feast like kings!"
