An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

Everyone present was shocked.

"Ma Yueming, you..."

When Zhang Kun heard that Ma Yueming wanted her to be the acting dean, she was not happy but angry, and actually called him by his name. However, she was interrupted by Ma Yueming as soon as she opened her mouth.

"During this extraordinary period, we need to keep everything simple. I will leave Suzaku to you."

After Ma Yueming finished speaking, he took out a scarlet feather from his arms and handed it to Zhang Kun.

The feather was more than a foot long and there was nothing special about it. But when she took it out, even Zhang Kun looked solemn and stopped talking.

"Ma Yueming, what do you want to do?" Zhang Kun did not reach out to take it, but asked in a deep voice.

"Xu Fu, I originally promised you that I would give Suzaku to you, but now Suzaku is in this state, I'm afraid it will only cause more trouble even if I give it to you..."

"Dean, please don't say that. I have no desire for Suzaku. You don't have to be sad. Let's find a solution together." Xu Fu consoled.

"You go first. I have something to say to Xu Fu."

As Ma Yueming spoke, he gently flicked the red feather in his hand, and the feather flew straight towards Zhao Kun.

Zhang Kun did not dodge. He took the feather respectfully, glanced at Xu Fu, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly left the meeting hall.

The other two also followed Zhang Kun.

Not long after the three men left, Ma Yueming suddenly started coughing violently, and then spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.

"Dean Ma!"

Xu Fu was shocked and hurriedly took two steps forward.

"much better."

Ma Yueming let out a long sigh and breathed heavily.

Xu Fu understood immediately after hearing this. Ma Yueming had probably wanted to vomit the blood a long time ago, but he forced himself to hold it back in front of Zhang Kun and the others.

However, Xu Fu also knew that spitting out the blood was a good thing, so he was not too nervous. However, Ma Yueming's injuries were indeed serious.

"Can you stay in Suzaku?"

Ma Yueming looked at Xu Fu and asked expectantly, "Liu Su's position has just been vacated. As long as you nod, you will be Zhuque Liu Su in the future."

This was Ma Yueming's second invitation, and Xu Fu had no doubt about the sincerity of the "former" dean of Zhuque Shanglingyuan.

"Dean, I'm not interested in this." Xu Fu refused embarrassedly.

If outsiders knew about this conversation between the two, they would be shocked. For a newcomer to Shanglingyuan to be invited to become one of the "Seven Stars of Vermillion Bird" was already surprising enough, but Xu Fu actually refused. I'm afraid that everyone who knew about it would think that Xu Fu was a fool.

Ma Yueming's face was not disappointed at all, she had expected this result. She also knew that Xu Fu didn't care much about fame, wealth and status, even the position of the dean of Suzaku Shangling Academy was not attractive to him, Ma Yueming didn't hold too much hope, she just wanted to fight for it in the end.

"Put this away."

Ma Yueming said this as he took out a long square box from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Fu.

"what is this?"

Xu Fu took it and felt that the box was of little weight. He wondered what it was used for.

"Suzaku's jade slip for passing on power." Ma Yueming replied softly.

"A jade slip for passing on skills?"

Xu Fu was puzzled. Did he still have to pass on his skills to him at this critical moment?

"You should leave quickly! If Suzaku cannot escape this disaster, you can give this jade slip to the survivors of Suzaku in the future, and let them find a chance to rebuild Suzaku. As long as there is still a breath left, Suzaku will prosper one day..."

"Dean, what about you?"

After listening to Ma Yueming's words that sounded like a will, Xu Fu felt very sad. Although he had been deceived by Ma Yueming to go to Qiongqi and nearly lost his life, Xu Fu already understood Ma Yueming's difficulties. Looking at the world-famous dean of Zhuque Shangling Academy, he actually felt a bit of pity for him.

"Suzaku has a secret technique that is extremely powerful. If that sea dragon comes again, I will perish together with it!"

Ma Yueming spoke resolutely, but Xu Fu frowned when he heard it.

No wonder Ma Yueming wanted to give up the position of dean, it turned out he was determined to die.

"Since this sea dragon is already injured, why not pursue it and kill it in one fell swoop?" Xu Fu asked puzzledly.

"That beast fled into the sea. Among the 'Seven Stars of the Vermillion Bird', only... Yin Qingbo is good at water combat."

Speaking of Yin Qingbo, Ma Yueming couldn't help but sigh again. The person she originally trusted so much turned out to be a spy who attempted to overthrow Suzaku. Whenever she thought of it, Ma Yueming felt like a stone was pressing on her heart.

"Which direction did it escape to?" Xu Fu asked again.

"Why do you ask?"

Ma Yueming did not answer, but looked at Xu Fu with vigilance.

“Actually, I can go into the sea…”

"no!"

Before Xu Fu could finish his words, Ma Yueming rejected him in a tone that did not allow for any argument.

"Dean..."

Xu Fu wanted to say a few more words.

"I am the dean of Suzaku Shangling Academy. I am still alive. There is no reason for you to risk your life. Besides..."

Ma Yueming sighed slightly at this point, and then continued: "You are Suzaku's benefactor. I already felt guilty for deceiving you last time. How can I push you into the fire pit again?"

"Dean..."

"There is no need to mention this matter again. If there is nothing important, please return to Qinglong as soon as possible."

After Ma Yueming finished speaking, he waved a flame and disappeared on the spot, not giving Xu Fu any chance to speak.

Xu Fu was also quite helpless and could only leave the meeting hall in disappointment.

"Teacher Xu Fu? Teacher Xu Fu?"

As soon as he went out, Xu Fu heard someone calling him.

When he looked up, he saw someone waving at him from the shadows. Xu Fu went over to see that it was Cheng Xiang. She must have heard about his coming and waited here on purpose.

"Hello, Teacher Xu Fu." Cheng Xiang called out happily.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xu Fu also greeted him with a smile. He still felt a little awkward when someone called him teacher, especially since the person in front of him was about the same age as him.

"It's great that Teacher Xu Fu is back. Next time the sea dragon dares to come again, we will definitely kill it!"

Xu Fu said nothing when he heard this, but just smiled.

In fact, even the "Seven Stars of Vermillion Bird" could not do anything to this sea dragon. Xu Fu did not think that the result would be any different if he were to be added.

"It's so late, why don't you rest?"

Xu Fu changed the subject.

"Who can sleep after being tormented by that sea dragon twice? And just now Liu Su told everyone to go to the second floor of the sea of ​​fire. I heard that Teacher Xu Fu is back, so I came to say hello first."

Xu Fu didn't say anything, as if he was worried about something.

After Cheng Xiang finished speaking, she turned her head and looked in the direction of Penyun Mountain, and asked softly, "Teacher Xu Fu, can we defeat that sea dragon?"

"What do you think?"

"must be able to!"

Cheng Xiang looked at Xu Fu and said firmly: "Although our master said that our cultivation is too low and he won't let us take action, the sisters have discussed it privately. We can't always count on the Seven Stars to protect us. We have rehearsed a formation in private. If the sea dragon comes, we will let it taste the power of our Suzaku students!"
