Transmigration: The Peerless Immortal Husband - Chapter 70

“This…” Gu Yao glanced at Jiang Yan suspiciously. Could it be that Jiang Yan has seen through everything they’ve been doing behind the scenes?

“We’ll pass on this,” the chubby boy quickly shook his head. He didn’t want to be pinched on the cheek by the Moon Demoness again. Everyone was so two-faced, and he didn’t want to walk into that trap again.

Tian Feirong gritted his teeth and said, “Senior Brother Jiang, do you know something?”

Jiang Yan smiled and said, “You four are very clever. From what I know, Miaoyun Pavilion has already announced that they will protect you. The Mad Snake Gang, unable to contain their anger, has issued a challenge to Miaoyun Pavilion for a match.”

Gu Yao was shocked. “When did this happen? Why didn’t we know about it?”

“It happened during the class. The Mad Snake Gang just sent the challenge letter, and Miaoyun Pavilion has already accepted it,” Jiang Yan said, watching with interest as Gu Yao and the others’ expressions changed. The only one whose expression remained unchanged was Chi Changye.

Since Tao Yue was able to deduce that the pills came from Gu Yao, Jiang Yan had no doubts whatsoever. From the beginning, he knew that Gu Yao was a gifted alchemist. In fact, he even suspected that the high-quality Bi Hua Pills circulating in Shifang City were likely connected to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao looked at Chi Changye, who nodded at him. “Then let’s go have a look.”

So, the group headed toward Miaoyun Pavilion. Tian Feirong and the chubby boy had no choice but to follow along, muttering in frustration, “The Mad Snake Gang is really bullying us. If Miaoyun Pavilion hadn’t taken care of this, how would they have treated us?”

“You didn’t know?” Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow. “The condition in the challenge letter is that if Miaoyun Pavilion loses, you four will be at the mercy of the Mad Snake Gang.”

Gu Yao gritted his teeth. “Handle us? Over my dead body!”

What do they take them for? The Mad Snake Gang? He’d chop up those snakes into pieces and make soup out of them!

Miaoyun Pavilion was packed with people that day, so crowded that the doorframe almost seemed to be flattened. The reason for the chaos was that a few days earlier, Miaoyun Pavilion had released several free trial versions of their pills, and today, they officially began selling them. The free trial promotion had been incredibly successful, and the effectiveness of the pills spread quickly throughout the entire academy. Today, most of the female cultivators came hoping to get their hands on their favorite pills as soon as possible.

With several types of pills on offer, there was sure to be one to satisfy everyone’s desires.

The frenzy caused by this scene made the other stores and stall owners on the commercial street envious. These women were crazy. For the sake of their appearance, they were willing to spend an immense amount of spirit stones, and many male students, eager to please the female cultivators, were also spending their own spirit stones to buy the pills for them.

At such a good time, the Mad Snake Gang sent a challenge letter, thinking they had chosen the perfect moment. They didn’t need to advertise; the news would spread far and wide. Once they defeated the women of Miaoyun Pavilion, the reputation of the Mad Snake Gang would rise again, and they would trample Miaoyun Pavilion underfoot.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the female cultivators’ love for beauty. The angry female students nearly tore apart the male cultivator who had delivered the challenge letter. So, when Gu Yao and the others arrived, they could still hear people talking about how the Mad Snake Gang’s men had scurried away in embarrassment.

Jiang Yan looked at the crowded Miaoyun Pavilion and sighed, “It seems we’re late. We’ll have to congratulate Tao Yue and the others later.”

Tian Feirong and the chubby boy were also a little envious. If only their future shop could be this successful! But they could only dream. Without strength or backing, they would just be helping others to profit.

There were many onlookers, and after standing for a while, Gu Yao and the others heard the chatter around them.

“Who are those four new students? Why is the Mad Snake Gang and Miaoyun Pavilion causing such a stir over them?”

“As soon as you say that, I can tell you haven’t been around the commercial street much lately. You don’t know that there’s a stall selling pills there now. Wu Feng from the Mad Snake Gang has been looking for trouble, trying to bully the new students. Unexpectedly, he got slapped in the face. Now the Mad Snake Gang is targeting those four and trying to regain their honor.”

“How did they get involved with Miaoyun Pavilion? Are these four students particularly handsome or something? Is that why they’re so favored?” The male student who spoke had a lecherous look on his face, incredibly envious of such treatment.

“Haha, maybe the leaders of the Mad Snake Gang are a bit… unpleasant to look at, which is why the girls in Miaoyun Pavilion have never liked them. Haha…”

Jiang Yan chuckled, and Gu Yao, Tian Feirong, and the chubby boy exchanged glances before looking toward Chi Changye. Among the four, Chi Changye was the one who most matched the standard—handsome features and an impressive demeanor. However, because his identity was that of a servant, some of the female students looked at him with expressions of regret.

It wasn’t long before another commotion arose in Miaoyun Pavilion. The group perked up their ears and listened closely. It turned out that the newly released whitening pills and body-scenting pills had sold out. Those who had bought them were ecstatic, while those who hadn’t either asked questions or inquired when they would be restocked. Eventually, Tao Yue and Du Lingdai came out. As soon as they saw the bright red whip in Du Lingdai’s hand, the once angry female students all quieted down.

“Dear sisters, we apologize. Since these pills are new products just developed by Miaoyun Pavilion, and their production process is complex and difficult, the quantity is limited. Starting tomorrow, we will have limited sales, with a first-come, first-served policy. Please understand, and Miaoyun Pavilion will do its best to meet your demands.”

With no stock left, the female students who hadn’t bought any pills, though disappointed, had no choice but to leave. However, they made sure to say they would come back tomorrow to get them. Even though they didn’t buy any, it only sparked a greater desire to purchase. Perhaps some of them didn’t really need the pills, but no matter how much Tao Yue smiled apologetically, the joy in her eyes was genuine. These pills sold incredibly well, and it seemed that Miaoyun Pavilion’s business was about to expand.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but some female students still lingered in the pavilion, browsing other items. The attendants inside were all smiling brightly.

At this moment, Jiang Yan led Gu Yao and the others inside and gave a distant salute to Tao Yue: “Congratulations to Miaoyun Pavilion on its booming business and endless wealth.”

“Ah, it’s senior brother Jiang and several junior brothers. Miaoyun Pavilion is a small establishment, how can we compare to the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce? Please, senior brother Jiang and the junior brothers, come upstairs.” Tao Yue said to the people below and led them upstairs. Of course, Du Lingdai followed closely behind, which made Gu Yao curiously glance at her a few times.

Upstairs, some many senior brothers and sisters had arrived before Jiang Yan. They were also invited by Miaoyun Pavilion. When they saw Jiang Yan, they all stood up to greet him, casting curious glances at the four behind him. Since the Mad Snake Gang’s challenge letter had come out, even though Gu Yao and the others had no reputation, they had gained considerable notoriety. Many were curious why Miaoyun Pavilion was taking care of these four.

“Tao Yue, you really don’t have any whitening pills left? You didn’t even leave a few for me!” a female student called out, dissatisfied.

Tao Yue raised her hand and nodded, saying, “Is it my fault? What did you say when I recommended them to you earlier? Do you want me to remind you?”

“Tch! It’s all because you didn’t tell me the truth. I don’t care, you have to leave some for me, or… I’ll just steal Xiao Dai’er away!” The female student’s eyes glinted as she turned her attention to Du Lingdai.

Before Tao Yue could respond, Du Lingdai’s face darkened, and she glared at the female student, making everyone burst into laughter. Trying to dig at Tao Yue and Miaoyun Pavilion? They’d better go back where they came from.

“Stinky women of Miaoyun Pavilion, we, the Mad Snake Gang, are here. Are you brave enough to fight us? If not, hand over those four, and apologize to our boss. Maybe, just maybe, our boss will let you off!”

“Yeah, you stinky women of Miaoyun Pavilion, hiding inside your pavilion to play with your beauty products is enough, but you want to come out and compete with us men. Go back to your hole!”

“Haha… Women are just for having babies, haha…”

As they joked, loud shouting came from downstairs. It was obvious the Mad Snake Gang had arrived. Looking down from upstairs, they saw the Mad Snake Gang had gathered dozens of people in front of the pavilion, coming on strong. The scene was so intimidating that it scared away the customers inside and outside the pavilion, and a new crowd began to gather, eager to watch the commotion.

The female disciple who had earlier targeted Du Lingdai showed a look of disgust and anger. “The Mad Snake Gang is getting more and more out of hand. First, they bully new students with their power, and now they’re provoking Miaoyun Pavilion and the female students. These bastards are asking for death!”

Tao Yue stood by the window, a cold smile curving her lips. “Sister, why bother taking their words seriously? They’re just boasting for the sake of it. I see their good days are coming to an end. Do they really think they can humiliate the female students like this?”

“Let’s go, let’s head to the arena!” Du Lingdai’s face was already dark with fury. As soon as she spoke, she stepped onto her constantly twisting, fiery red whip and flew out of the window.

“Dai’er is still so impulsive. Well, let’s follow her. This time, you all better do well and make sure to take down Wu Meng.”

“We’ll go too,” Gu Yao said. Given the events that had unfolded because of them, how could they not show up? He hadn’t expected the Mad Snake Gang to act so arrogantly and without limits.

Tao Yue waved her hand, signaling: “Gather the sisters and head to the Martial Arts Hall. We can’t let Miaoyun Pavilion lose its momentum!”

“Yes!”

Before long, the two groups moved toward the Martial Arts Hall in an imposing manner. A large crowd of onlookers followed behind, including students who came to cheer for Miaoyun Pavilion. There were female students, as well as male students, who felt that the Mad Snake Gang’s words were too humiliating. The academy was not lacking in powerful senior sisters, and the Mad Snake Gang was practically asking for death.

On the way, the two groups engaged in a war of words, but neither side impulsively started fighting, as that would have been beneath them.

The arena in the Martial Arts Hall had clearly received the news in advance, and the stage had been cleared. People from the Law Enforcement Hall were also present to maintain order and act as referees.

A tall, burly male student with a dark face was the first to jump onto the stage. The martial outfit he wore couldn’t hide the bulging muscles on his arms.

The Mad Snake Gang cheered: “Boss Wu is mighty, the women of Miaoyun Pavilion should just admit defeat!”

“Tch! The Mad Snake Gang is shameless. What real work can you do other than bullying new students?”

“With that dark face, how about Miaoyun Pavilion gives you a free whitening pill to lighten it up, haha!”
