Treasure identifying Golden Finger

Faang Cheng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a glint in his eyes. It was as if he was saying, "If you shoot another bolt of lightning, I will attack you."    

    

"I..."    

    

The middle-aged man seemed to be in a difficult position. He exchanged a glance with the young man who had been sitting on the tree. The two of them seemed to have exchanged opinions before the middle-aged man looked at Faang Cheng again.    

    

"Principal Fang, I know it's our fault for accidentally injuring the students of the Spirit Cultivation Academy. It's just that we want to complete our mission. Why don't we take a step back from each other? We won't attack the Cultivation College, but you have to make sure that the man is expelled from the Cultivation College, so that... if we continue to capture him, your Cultivation College will be completely unaffected."    

    

The middle-aged man proposed such a method and let Faang Cheng decide.    

    

"Chase him out?"    

    

Faang Cheng paused for a moment before the corner of his mouth curled up.    

    

"Isn't that just asking me to push him into the fire pit? I think that young man isn't old, and his Spirit Power doesn't seem to be too high. What kind of deep hatred is it for you to take his life like this?"    

    

Faang Cheng's personality was such that he wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.    

    

"This... Principal Fang, it's not convenient for you to ask, right? The main reason is that even if you ask us, we wouldn't know. We were hired to capture them. The order we get is to catch them alive. If we really can't catch them alive, we can just bring their dead bodies back. As for why we are chasing after this young man, people like us won't ask."    

    

As professional assassins, it was true. They wouldn't know about the conflict between the employer and the victim.    

    

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Faang Cheng could not help but think for a moment before shaking his head with a smile.    

    

"In that case, forgive me for not agreeing with you. If there is anything wrong with this man, we will send him straight to the city patrol for investigation. If there is nothing wrong with this boy, then we will follow his wishes, whether he wants to leave or stay and study at the Cultivation College. If he wants to leave, then we will not keep him, but if he wants to stay, then we will not drive him away. If he stays, then he will be a student of our Spirit Cultivation College. I am the dean of the Spirit Cultivation College."    

    

Although Faang Cheng said those words, his meaning was clear. The young man was currently running for his life. How could he possibly choose to leave the Spirit Cultivation Academy at this time? If Faang Cheng really asked him if he wanted to stay or leave, he would definitely choose to stay and study at the Spirit Cultivation Academy, becoming a student there. If that was the case, it would mean that he would be under the protection of the Spirit Cultivation Academy and would no longer be hunted down by the old and young.    

    

"You...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"    

    

The middle-aged man choked on Faang Cheng's words, not knowing how to respond.    

    

"You clearly want to shield him."    

    

The young man fumed with rage as he shouted at Faang Cheng.    

    

"Shield him? What did he mean by that? First of all, I don't know him. He's just a young man who barged into my Spirit Cultivation Academy without permission. As I said, if he's got a problem, I'll send him to the patrollers for trial or punishment. If he's all right, I'll let him go, but he's got a right to stay or leave. If he wants to stay in the Spirit Cultivation Academy to study, then we can also let him stay after passing the exam. However, I just checked the condition of the Spirit Power in his body. It should be enough for him to pass our exam. If I say so, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"    

    

Faang Cheng remained calm as he looked at the young man and said calmly.    

    

"You are simply making unreasonable claims. We wanted to capture him, yet you agreed to let him stay in the Spirit Cultivation Academy. Isn't that the same as helping him?"    

    

The young man pointed at Faang Cheng and said loudly.    

    

When Faang Cheng saw this, he frowned slightly and retracted his peaceful aura. Then, his entire body emitted a slight chill that everyone around him could feel.    

    

"Then, even if I want to save him, what can you do to me?"    

    

Although his tone was calm, the meaning behind his words could not be refuted.    

    

"You..."    

    

The young man suddenly had nothing to say. Feeling the coldness, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and take a step back.    

    

The middle-aged man thought for a while and then stepped forward.    

    

"Director Fang, I understand what you mean, but... We have a mission. Even if you say so, we still have to continue our mission. Since you can't cooperate, we... can only continue our mission. I will give him a little time. As you say, if he leaves the Academy, then our mission will continue, but if he chooses to stay, then we... we will have to continue attacking the Academy until we catch him."    

    

The middle-aged man said very directly.    

    

When Faang Cheng heard his words, he could not help but sneer.    

    

"Humph, alright. I'll wait and see if you can catch him or not."    

    

With that, Faang Cheng did not even spare the two of them another glance before turning around and flying in the direction of the Spirit Cultivation Academy. In an instant, he disappeared in front of the middle-aged man and the young man.    

    

Looking at Faang Cheng's disappearing figure, the young man wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and turned to look worriedly at the middle-aged man beside him.    

    

"Do you think... we can really cooperate with Young Master to complete this mission? This Faang Cheng's aura is far too strong! He hasn't even done anything yet, yet his words already make me nervous."    

    

At this moment, his voice was trembling slightly.    

    

"No matter whether we can complete the mission or not, we have to keep doing it. Otherwise... neither of us will have a good ending. In any case, the Young Lord who is charging at the front, we can at most be considered as support. If we hide at the back, it will be easier for us to escape even if there is danger."    

    

The middle-aged man looked in the direction where Faang Cheng left and continued.    

    

"Sigh, that's all we can do."    

    

The young man let out a long sigh.    

    

"Then what do we do now?"    

    

He asked again.    

    

"We just wait and see. Wait and see if we continue to attack or if we can only leave helplessly. Oh, how nervous I am! When I have finished this mission, I will have to ask the young master to let me go back to the fields."    

    

The middle-aged man helplessly wiped his face.    

    

"Me too. When the time comes, I will walk the world with my sword. I will go wherever I go. It is better than living in fear every day."    

    

The young man nodded to agree with the middle-aged man.    

    

When Faang Cheng returned to the Spirit Cultivation Academy, the students had already come out of the academy and were gathered at the entrance of the academy by Lee Zhaowen, Xu Junxiu and the others. They looked curiously at the muddy youth standing in the open space in front of them.    

    

Seeing Faang Cheng return, everyone's attention was attracted by his figure.    

    

"Principal Fang!"    

    

"Principal Fang, you're back."    

    

"Principal, who exactly attacked us?!"    

    

The students asked Faang Cheng.    

    

Although Faang Cheng did not spend much time in the Spirit Cultivation Academy, the students here knew him very well. Furthermore, they all knew that this young dean, who was rumored to be a god, was actually very gentle, especially towards them students. He was gentle and close to them, not like a dean at all, but more like their senior brother or senior brother.    

    

"Two professional killers."    

    

Faang Cheng said as he turned to look at the young man standing at the side. His entire body was covered in mud and his expression was rather reserved. Feeling Faang Cheng's gaze, the young man's body stiffened as he hurriedly waved his hand at Faang Cheng.    

    

"That... Principal Fang, right? I really didn't mean to harm the Spirit Cultivation Academy. I really have nowhere else to go. I can only... I can only come to the Spirit Cultivation Academy to find you. Because of your reputation, Dean Fang, I... I thought that I would be safe after hiding here, but I really didn't expect that they would actually dare to blow up the Spirit Cultivation Academy. It's simply... insane."    

    

The young man waved his hand anxiously and explained to Faang Cheng.    

    

"You don't have to be nervous. I don't mean to blame you. I was just a little surprised when I found out that those people were chasing after a young man like you."    

    

Faang Cheng waved his hand with a smile and looked at Xu Junxiu and the others.    

    

"Junxiu, you and Baili will lead these students back to their dorms in an orderly fashion. Be careful and report back to me immediately if you encounter any problems."    

    

Faang Cheng said to Xu Junxiu and Baili.    

    

"Yes!"    

    

Xu Junxiu and Baili immediately nodded and began organizing the students to return to their dorms.    

    

"Remember, don't go out unless there's a special reason. If you have any urgent problems, look for the teacher in charge."    

    

Faang Cheng only liked to remind his students once.    

    

"Understood, Principal Fang."    

    

The students obediently agreed to Faang Cheng's request and followed Xu Junxiu and Baili towards the dormitory.    

    

"Principal Fang, what can Fu Ling and I do?"    

    

Seeing that Xu Junxiu and Baili were assigned tasks, Chu Xiang wanted to do something as well.    

    

"The two of you wait, I have something to tell you."    

    

Faang Cheng signaled the two of them to wait a moment longer.    

    

"Oh, okay."    

    

Chu Xiang and Fu Ling immediately nodded to show that they understood.    

    

Faang Cheng nodded to the two of them in satisfaction and then looked at the young man who was hiding in the Spirit Cultivation Academy.    

    

"From what you just said, you came here on purpose to seek protection from the Spirit Cultivation Academy and did not barge in by accident?"    

    

Faang Cheng was rather surprised when he heard the young man's words.    

    

"Yes, yes. I only came to the Spirit Cultivation Academy to look for you after hearing about Principal Fang's reputation. Strictly speaking, I might be able to establish some sort of relationship with you, Principal Fang."    

    

The young man scratched his head in embarrassment before raising his head to look at Faang Cheng.
