P.S. Thank you for the 2000 book coins from "Wo Gan Ah" and for the monthly votes! Thank you to "Wo Si Ge Mo De Gan Qing De Sha Shou" for the 500 book coins. Thanks to Xu Huan for the tip… Enjoying delicious food and feeling soft, life is simply wonderful! As for the cost of this meal, it was nothing to Tang Miao. After all, he was currently in a state where he didn't have a lot of money, but he wasn't short on small change.
Although Ai Tutu ordered a lot, she ate very little. Mu Nujiao ate in small bites. Together, the two of them didn't eat even half as much as Tang Miao.
After they had eaten their fill, the two girls returned to school. As for Tang Miao, normally, he wouldn't go back to school. Aside from collecting cultivation resources and entering the Three-Step Pagoda, Tang Miao generally didn't stay at school.
But today was different. Not only was he escorting the girls back, but more importantly, he needed to enter the Three-Step Pagoda again. He wanted to try and raise his Ice element's strength to the third level of the Intermediate stage. His Summoning element could now be contracted, and coincidentally, the Qilin Jade had given him a hint that the Totem Sacred Beast White Tiger existed in Tianshan. He could completely go and contract a White Tiger. By then, his strength would undoubtedly be even more formidable!
Of course, since Tianshan was known as a dangerous place, if he were to enter, he naturally couldn't go alone. At that time, setting aside everything else, the Black Snake, as a tool, would have to be brought along.
"You stinky pervert, didn't you just say that you usually don't go to school? Why are you coming back with us?"
Ai Tutu was now keeping her distance from Tang Miao, so she wasn't worried about being taken advantage of. Her little demoness personality had returned.
Mu Nujiao was also a little curious as to why Tang Miao had come back with them. Did he have feelings for her?
It wasn't that she was conceited. After all, her own conditions were perfect. Although she wasn't as well-endowed in certain areas as Ai Tutu, overall, she was far superior to Ai Tutu.
Seeing the two girls looking at him, waiting for an answer, Tang Miao shrugged and said, "I came back because I need to go see Dean Xiao. You two don't think I came back because of you, do you?"
Mu Nujiao and the other girl immediately didn't want to talk to him anymore. After all, was he even speaking human language?
After arriving at the academy, the two of them headed towards the girls' dormitory, while Tang Miao headed towards Dean Xiao's office. Before entering the Three-Step Pagoda, he naturally still needed to report. Moreover, this old man looked frail, but his strength was not to be underestimated.
Although he had a Black Snake covering him, there was no harm in having a few more big shots backing him up. So, when he had nothing else to do, Tang Miao was still very willing to build good relationships with Dean Xiao and Old Man Bao.
Just as he was about to reach Dean Xiao's office, a very handsome man walked over from not far away.
The man had slightly permed, curly, medium-length hair, a standard prince's face from a fairy tale, and a simple pure white tracksuit. This b*tch face was almost as handsome as his own!
And beside this guy was the person who had caused trouble earlier and was paralyzed by his thunderous 'boom'.
"You must be Tang Miao, right?" The man walked over, looked at Tang Miao, and continued, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhao Manyan, and I specialize in the Light element…"
Zhao Manyan's smile was very gentle and he looked very friendly. He didn't show any intention of standing up for his little brother.
"Zhao Manyan?"
Tang Miao muttered, thinking, so it's this pervert. He smiled and said, "I thought you were here to stand up for this scumbag."
The person next to Zhao Manyan, who was now sore all over, didn't even try to refute Tang Miao's sarcasm.
Zhao Manyan, however, shook his head and said, "Heh heh, it's just that he's ignorant, and it would be foolish for me, a Light mage, to challenge the number one of the Thunder element."
Tang Miao didn't have any particular dislike for Zhao Manyan, this turtle-shell mage. Moreover, he hadn't expected that a casual bolt of lightning would strike out someone from the Zhao family… "Since it's not about revenge, then I'll be going."
Zhao Manyan smiled and nodded. After Tang Miao left, he looked at the person next to him and said, "Even my father said he wanted to recruit him. Even if we can't recruit him, there's no need to offend him. He has connections with the Tang family of the Judgment Court. You blind idiot, are you looking for a beating?"
The person who was beaten looked tragic, but he didn't dare to refute at all.
Some aristocratic families are arrogant, but if they have connections with the Judgment Court, those who are not top-tier families dare not easily offend them. Even top-tier families don't need to offend them, right? Of course, unless those aristocratic families have people in the Judgment Court!
But the Zhao family was not like that; their family was in business… Tang Miao didn't pay too much attention to it. After parting ways with Zhao Manyan and the others, he found Dean Xiao.
Dean Xiao also symbolically lectured Tang Miao a couple of times about his previous actions on campus. Tang Miao, on the other hand, nodded and admitted his mistakes like a good child.
In the end, the matter was naturally dropped, and he was subsequently allowed to enter the Three-Step Pagoda early.
The reason, of course, was because Tang Miao was going to train. Although Dean Xiao felt that it was a bit too early for Tang Miao to train, seeing that he was determined, he didn't say anything more.
However, Dean Xiao still reminded him that with his talent and strength, it would be better to keep a low profile when going out. In fact, Mingzhu Academy didn't care about these things, but Tang Miao was different! For the quadrennial World National Academy Competition, he was counting on Tang Miao to bring glory!
Tang Miao naturally accepted Dean Xiao's kind reminder with an open mind.
After receiving some guidance from Dean Xiao, Tang Miao entered the Three-Step Pagoda. Who would have thought that this cultivation opportunity in the Three-Step Pagoda, which others yearned for, was like his own backyard to Tang Miao… he could come whenever he wanted… Cultivation began, and time flew by… Especially with the increased cultivation speed, Tang Miao felt that these seven days were just a fleeting moment… When the time was up, he still hadn't managed to break through to the third level of the Intermediate Ice element.
After leaving the pagoda, Tang Miao took a long leave from Dean Xiao and then directly left Mingzhu Academy. Of course, after coming out, Tang Miao also called Tang Yue, but he didn't say that he was going to Tianshan. He only said that he wanted to find a quiet place to calmly understand his Thunder Domain.
Tang Yue didn't have any doubts about this. After all, Tang Miao had said before that when his Thunder element reached the third level of the Intermediate stage, his Thunder Domain seemed to have strengthened a lot and undergone many changes. It seemed he had never fully understood it.
After explaining things to Tang Yue, Tang Miao went to the Azure Sky Hunter Agency to report. Old Man Bao had no objections. It was a good thing that Tang Miao could become stronger! Lingling, however, was a bit miserable, because if Tang Miao didn't come for a few months, she would be in trouble, especially now that school had started!
But even the little loli's resentment didn't make Tang Miao give up his trip to Tianshan. This could be considered his "well-intentioned lie," right!
He really wanted to bring her along, after all, she was a walking encyclopedia. However, with his current strength? It really wasn't suitable… In a forbidden place like Tianshan, there were quite a few Monarchs… Moreover, no one could be sure if there would be even stronger existences. The Black Snake would struggle to protect him alone, let alone protect a little girl who hadn't awakened her magic yet, which would be even more difficult.
It was only because Qilin told him that the Totem Sacred Beast White Tiger was still alive on Tianshan and would protect him; otherwise, Tang Miao would never have chosen to go to Tianshan even if it killed him…
