Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 193 - 175: You Won’t Even Call Me Sect Leader!
I should have figured it out earlier!
He suddenly turned his head, glaring fiercely at Su Yuan:
"Come out with me for a moment."
Then, he grabbed Su Yuan by the collar from a distance, dragging him out into the hallway.
As soon as they got outside, Su Yuan quickly said:
"Teacher Taibai, please let me explain..."
"I don’t want to hear your explanation."
Taibai Phecda sneered:
"You’ve really got some nerve, kid. I’ve only been away for a little over a month, and you’ve already crafted such a sophisticated demonic puppet."
"Didn’t you consider that when I came back, I’d hold you accountable?"
"I did, but..."
Su Yuan said cautiously:
"But when profit exceeds a hundred percent, a businessman would even sell the rope to hang himself..."
"Your reasoning is quite convincing."
Taibai Phecda was momentarily speechless, then shook his head helplessly:
"If it were during normal times, I wouldn’t mind you stirring things up in Taihua City."
"But soon, Taihua City will be under the world’s gaze. If your puppet is discovered by someone with an agenda, it could affect your reputation."
Su Yuan smiled awkwardly and said:
"My reputation doesn’t really have much room to fall, so it’s not a big problem."
"But my reputation has plenty of room to fall."
Taibai Phecda gritted his teeth.
Su Yuan scratched his head, and his eyes wandered for a moment before catching onto another element in the conversation as he forcibly changed the subject:
"Let’s not talk about my issue. Teacher Taibai, can you please explain what you meant when you said Taihua City would be under the world’s gaze?"
"Is something significant about to happen?"
Taibai Phecda nodded:
"Yes, it relates to the Top Ten Preparatory Classes assessments."
Su Yuan was slightly taken aback, then replied speechlessly:
"The assessments for the preparatory class won’t happen to be in Taihua City, right? It’s like Taihua City is the center of the universe."
"Not only will the preparatory class assessments be set in Taihua City, but if nothing goes wrong, the Top Ten Preparatory Classes will directly commence there."
Taibai Phecda explained:
"The location for each session of the Top Ten Preparatory Classes is not within the university towns of any particular Ten Great Immortal Sects."
"They usually choose a primary or secondary city rich in Immortal Dao atmosphere to set up, spreading the influence of the Ten Great Immortal Sects in that city."
"The reason why the Top Ten Preparatory Classes chose Taihua City this time is partly because the Myriad Beasts Demon Sect, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, intends to expand its business in Taihua City."
"Secondly... the original teacher for the Evil Extermination Sword Sect’s preparatory class is unavailable, and they want me to step in, so they’ve specifically set it in my hometown to prevent my refusal."
Su Yuan nodded in sudden realization.
Then he looked somewhat sympathetically at Taibai Phecda:
"Teacher, you’re really out of luck. Even after graduating from the Evil Extermination Sword Sect, you’re still being roped in."
"It seems like the ethos of the Evil Extermination Sword Sect isn’t great. I definitely won’t go to this lousy school in the future."
Taibai Phecda seriously thought about it and nodded at Su Yuan:
"You’re right."
Su Yuan: "???"
I was just joking around.
So the Evil Extermination Sword Sect really is this unreliable, discouraging even their own alumni from recommending it to new students?
How bad must it be!
"In any case, teachers from the Top Ten Preparatory Classes, as well as talented high school students with recommendation letters from the Ten Great Immortal Sects’ Golden Core Doctors, will all gather in Taihua City."
Taibai Phecda said seriously:
"So pay attention in the coming period, don’t embarrass me."
"Especially the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet that incorporates the strengths of a hundred Demon Sects — make sure to hide it well!"
Upon hearing this command, Su Yuan’s expression became a bit awkward.
He spoke cautiously:
"Teacher Taibai, it’s not that I don’t want to follow your orders, but the identities of those puppets are quite unique."
"Unique in what way?"
Taibai Phecda frowned.
Su Yuan hesitated and said:
"I sent all eight puppets I created to be streamers, and now each of them has over two hundred thousand genuine fans."
"If I suddenly put them on ice, it’s likely to cause quite a stir."
"You actually... used them for streaming?"
Taibai Phecda felt his vision going dark once more.
What on earth had Su Yuan been up to in the month he stayed in the Secret Realm!
Great, no need for me to struggle anymore, I’ll just wait for the embarrassment to unfold!
