Journey to the West: The Mountain Shaker

Chapter 82 Utter Rebellion 1

Inside the Water Curtain Cave.

In a small room where the old dean usually rested and meditated, Xiao Wu, who was in charge of treatment at the academy, was treating the wounds of an injured person.

Cai Fei and Feng Xiangguo were covered in wounds and blood. Xiao Wu pulled out the hidden weapons and flying arrows, carefully cleaned the dirt from the wounds, and prepared to bandage their bodies.

The old dean sat beside Cai Fei with a furrowed brow, using his divine sense to examine Cai Fei's severely injured dantian.

Longhen was working the hardest, as he was helping Guo Xiqin remove the fire poison, with steam rising from his head like clouds.

There was also Fang Yingyue, who was standing silently in the corner.

This morning was too stimulating for Fang Yingyue. She originally wanted to discuss divination questions, but it turned into rescuing people and confronting the infamous Three Evils of Aolai.

She, a scholar who always stayed behind her teammates, actually dared to step forward and follow closely behind, even as a hidden weapon flew right at her face and a ferocious spear and sword blade came flying at her face...

The person was eventually saved, but it cost a lot of money...

Teacher Fang came from a poor family and was used to being frugal with money. The auspicious cloud yarn was an unavoidable exception. Working in the Nine Heavens, she couldn't hold her head up without a decent dress, so she only bought auspicious cloud yarn instead of real flowing cloud yarn.

How many talismans were used this time?

First-tier, second-tier... the most crucial one is that Five Elements and Four Symbols Wood Shield, a top-grade talisman made by the Tushita Palace!

I actually used my life-saving charm for this little pervert!

What's wrong with me?

Hopefully, this little pervert can actually give me some inspiration in numerology, otherwise I'll lose big time. Fang Yingyue looked at Cai Fei with his eyes closed and sighed inwardly.

Guo Xiqin suffered the least injuries. He only fainted temporarily due to the fire poison attacking his heart. After the Dragon Mark Ice-type spiritual power resolved and detoxified him, he quickly woke up.

His first words after waking up were: "Those girls were covered in fish bone powder."

? ? !

The people treating the injured were all taken aback. The old headmaster was the first to react: "The group attacked by the thieving birds?"

Seeing Guo Xiqin nod, the old dean immediately called out, "Are there any survivors from the group attacked by the thief birds? Go and bring them here quickly."

A servant who had been waiting outside ran to fetch the person, and the person was brought there shortly after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The remaining two were also girls, and they had naturally applied perfume to their bodies as well. Although the two of them had used cleansing spells on themselves several times, the smell still could not be completely removed.

Clearly, they also knew the problem: the thief bird is called that because it loves to eat fatty fish.

When the leopards attacked the island, they had coated their bodies with fish bone powder, which explains why the leopards were able to target this group of birds from 10,000 meters in the air.

"Fengping came up with this idea. It seems someone told her that the fish bones can mask the smell of the Immortal Rock Fruit. If we apply this, no monsters will come near, so we can focus on picking the fruit and then go help others fight monsters... But who would have thought... Who would have thought... Waaah..."

Having experienced the despair of facing the thief bird up close and witnessed the tragic deaths of two companions, the two girls' fear was palpable, and they burst into tears as they spoke.

"It's also my fault. I smelled this fragrance before I left, and I felt strange, but I didn't ask about it." Longhen was also regretting it painfully.

"There are several spices that can mask the fruity aroma, but they chose fish bone powder by chance. This is clearly someone's deliberate encouragement. Elder Long, there's no need to blame yourself. This person is cunning and hard to guard against. What we need to do is find out who this person is!" The old dean was thinking about something else entirely.

The old dean comforted the students for a few moments, then had them sent out to rest. Turning back to look at the two wounded, he frowned and said, "Two dead and two injured from the academy. I have to go patrol the mountain and comfort them. During the Haixing period, I must stay outside to oversee the overall situation. In the coming days..."

Feng Xiangguo fell into the sea from a great height and was torn apart by a sea monster, suffering multiple fractures and lacerations, and severe blood loss. Cai Fei was rescued in time by the old dean and did not lose much blood, but the backlash from the formation and the emergency use of spiritual power aggravated his internal injuries in his dantian. In addition, he had a nine-mixed dantian, and at this moment he was close to going into qi deviation.

Feng Xiangguo's injuries are more serious, and he will likely have to rest for several months; if Cai Fei is treated properly, he can get out of bed in a few days, but his injury is very difficult to treat, and if not treated properly, it will leave sequelae in his dantian.

Therefore, for this treatment, considering both safety and reliability, we can only entrust it to Longhen.

But Longhen was too old. He had already exhausted himself in the battle against the Thief Bird, and the old dean was reluctant to ask him to go through the trouble of treating the students.

Longhen gave a wry smile: "I was entrusted with a task, and I must be loyal to it. I promised you I would keep an eye on these people, but I failed... Now I can only atone for my sins. Rest assured, I will do my best to heal them."

"Xiao Wu has been staying here, but her cultivation level isn't high enough to treat her external injuries. Cai Fei's dantian needs to be protected day and night by the Foundation Establishment stage. I'm afraid Elder Long, you alone might not be able to manage it..."

As the old dean spoke, he looked at Fang Yingyue, as if to say, "Teacher Fang, would you mind doing me a favor?"

The academy currently has five Foundation Establishment cultivators. Guo Xiqin is seriously injured, so the old dean has to take charge. Long Hen is already here, and Teacher Yue's character should be fine, but she was invited by Xingyue to specifically manage the top-tier class. The remaining one is Fang Yingyue.

Teacher Fang's ability to closely follow the Three Evils of Aolai to rescue the two students proves that she is trustworthy. However, she is ultimately a member of the Inspection Department, and her temperament is a bit eccentric, so the old dean couldn't directly make demands.

"I can come and fill in for an hour every day," Fang Yingyue, who had been standing in the corner in a daze, finally spoke up.

The old dean said nothing more, only clasped his hands in farewell and took his leave.

Fang Yingyue followed suit and left. Hai Xing continued, Guo Xiqin was injured and had to leave, Long Hen was unable to leave the Water Curtain Cave, and the Earth Class area was left unguarded.

Xiang Fuzuo, who was originally guarding the Great Sage Stone, has now requested to be punished and sent to patrol and protect the mountain in the Di Zi Ban area. However, as the only victim of the Three Evils incident, the Di Zi Ban needs to be given special protection. Xiang Fuzuo alone is not enough. As arranged by the old dean, Fang Yingyue was also transferred to patrol this area.

As Xia Yingyue stepped onto her flying sword, she flew away from the Water Curtain Cave and the academy, heading straight for the Earth Class. When she passed through the Heaven Class area, she encountered Teacher Yue, who was on patrol.

After exchanging a brief overview of the situation, Fang Yingyue made a request: "Elder Yue, I need to go and treat them these next few days, and I also need to meditate. Could you please take care of the safety of the Earth Class?"

"Of course! The Monkey King is protecting the son of Aolai, hehe, this Cai Fei is going to be something else! Xiao Fang, you were really brave just now, daring to follow and just happened to save Cai Fei. You can brag about this for the rest of your life!"

Teacher Yue smiled and agreed, while Chong Fangyingyue gave her a thumbs up, her tone full of envy.

"The son of Aolai who was protected by the Great Sage with his eyes open?" Fang Yingyue was a little confused. She had been staring at the Three Evils of Aolai and hadn't noticed the giant monkey face in the distant sky.

She had heard of Cai Fei's nickname "Son of Aolai," but she had only heard it and never paid it any mind. After saving Cai Fei, she was more preoccupied with the top-tier protective talisman and was completely unaware of who had created that shocking scene.

So it was the Monkey King who saved Cai Fei?

So, does that mean I've gotten involved in something extraordinary?

"Listen to this..." Teacher Yue pointed to the students below, then to the Aolai mountain people busy picking fruit in the distance, "Go take a stroll around, and everyone is praising you!"

This statement was obviously false, but when Fang Yingyue looked down at the flying sword, she saw that indeed, countless people below were looking up at her.

Many students waved and shouted at her. There were students from the top class below, students from the bottom class in the distance, and even cultivators and ordinary people from afar. Some people even impatiently summoned paper kites and flew over.

Fang Yingyue extended her divine sense to its maximum range, and this time she could hear clearly that everyone was asking Cai Fei.

"Teacher Fang, how is Cai Fei?"

"Teacher Fang, how is Cai Shen?"

Hmm, didn't the people in the top class call him "Rookie Dog"? He's turned into God Chu in just a few minutes?

Fang Yingyue wanted to laugh a little, but she was more surprised and a little excited—she had never received such attention in her life.

Seeing more people summoning kites to fly towards them, she had no choice but to unleash her magic, using the "Boundless Sound" technique to loudly proclaim: "Cai Fei is fine, Feng Xiangguo is fine, both students are unharmed, everyone need not worry!"

The clear, melodious voice, like a nightingale singing in a valley, reached the ears of everyone in the mountains, and the people below cheered.

"Cai Fei is fine, Feng Xiangguo is fine, both students are alright, everyone need not worry!"

Fang Yingyue simply stepped onto her sword and ascended, continuing to fly forward while expanding the "Boundless Sound" technique to its maximum range, announcing it to everyone in the northern half of Huaguo Mountain.

Countless people cheered, waving their fists, jumping and shouting. Someone shouted "The Great Sage Equal to Heaven!" and the cheers suddenly became unified. Then, the name that made the world lose its color began to resound throughout the mountains and fields, along with the name that suddenly carried so much hope.

"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven! Son of Aolai!"

"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven! Son of Aolai!"

However, on Flower Fruit Mountain, people were calling out the taboo name "Great Sage Equal to Heaven"...

Outrageous!

The flying sword suddenly tumbled, and those four words flashed through Fang Yingyue's mind in an instant, almost causing her to fall.

What exactly did I do?
