Fictional Transcension System - Chapter 22 Speeding To The Wang Clan

Zhang Xuan and Liu Yang followed the other teachers through a set of stairs and a long passage way, Cao Xiong sneering from time to time, before arriving at a large wooden door that emanated with authority. The five stood in front of the door for several moments before a loud voice called them in, “Let them enter!”

The doors opened with a creaking sound before revealing a spacious room that contained what seemed like a time capsule. Striding in along with the others, Zhang Xuan noticed two grand figures who were both seated on the opposite side of the room. One of the two stood up abruptly before calling out, “Cao Xiong laoshi, are you the one who has applied for the Enlightenment Will Trial?”

Cao Xiong nodded quickly before answering, “I beg of elder to redress my grievance! This Zhang Xuan coerced my student, Liu Yang, who has already acknowledged me as his teacher, thus violating the rules of fair competition among teachers. As such, I specially applied for the Enlightenment Will Trial so as to bring Liu Yang justice. At the same time, I hope that the academy can punish this shameless fellow!”

Liu Yang listened in confusion as his name was mentioned by Cao Xiong. Upon realising what Cao Xiong had said to the elders, Liu Yang glanced anxiously towards Zhang Xuan, “Teacher…”

Zhang Xuan ignored Liu Yang’s glance before answering in a shaky tone, “Cao laoshi, you are spouting nonsense Liu Yang is willing to become my student! I I had never coerced him!”

Knowing nothing of his teacher’s motives, Liu Yang stared in confusion, “Teacher?”

Zhang Xuan turned instantly to face Liu Yang before muttering in a dangerous tone, “Liu Yang, you’d better explain it properly. Did I coerce you or not?”

“Ah No, no!”

Liu Yang, finally realising that Zhang Xuan was completing a circus act for the elders, acted as if he was hesitant on giving his answer.

“Hmph! There is no need to complete the initial procedures. Just his tone already confirms partially that he has truly forced Liu Yang to become his student! Begin the Enlightenment Will Trail!”

Elder Mo stood up forcefully before pointing towards the capsule, instructing for the teacher student duo to enter. He was truly incensed, teachers were truly too outrageous these days!

Following the main road, Lu Fengyi jogged with Wang Ying quickly over to the Wang clan’s residence. Knowing that he had limited time before the situation within the Enlightenment Will Trial would become precarious, Lu Fengyi made the decision to seek out the Wang clan instantly upon seeing Zhang Xuan leave with Cao Xiong laoshi.

Thanks to his empowered stamina obtained from cultivation, Lu Fengyi was able to jog the entire time while also making sure that Wang Ying did not lag too far behind. Soon after leaving the school grounds, the duo had already reached the village, however upon entering it, Wang Ying called out for Lu Fengyi to slow down before falling to her knees and panting, gasping for breath.

Lu Fengyi turned back to see if Wang Ying was alright, mentally kicking himself for not accounting for the difference in cultivation. Although Wang Ying had no injuries and only needed some time to catch her breath, Lu Fengyi knew that he did not have the time for that. Thinking up a quick solution, Lu Fengyi knelt down before placing his arms below Wang Ying and carrying her in a princess carry.

“Ah!” Wang Ying instantly cried out, face reddening in surprise and embarrassment. As the prized daughter of a protective father and the young mistress of a prestigious clan, Wang Ying had never experienced any intimate male contact of any form before, not to mention being carried.

Noticing Wang Ying’s embarrassment, Lu Fengyi whispered into her ear reassuringly, “It’ll only be for a moment.”

Completely mind blanked from Lu Fengyi’s gaze, Wang Ying buried her head into her hands as Lu Fengyi began to jog steadily towards the Wang clan residence. Mixtures of silent mutters and hooting catcalls sounded from the farmers who were going by their daily business. Lu Fengyi smiled at them, however not slowing down in the least.

Minutes later, the two students finally arrived at the gates of the Wang clan and a shout from the guards welcomed them.

“It’s that boy from before again!”

“Look! He’s got the young mistress within his arms.”

Hearing the shouts of the guards, Wang Ying hurriedly whispered for Lu Fengyi to let her down before slipping behind him to avoid any more attention. The guards laughed heartily before stopping abruptly as a group of elders and the clan head strode towards the gate.

Wang Hong, noticing Wang Ying and Lu Fengyi standing outside, called out, “Ying’er! Lu boy! Aren’t you two supposed to be at school? Why are you both here?”

Lu Fengyi bowed before explaining the situation, “Zhang laoshi has been taken for a Enlightenment Will Trial by a scandalous teacher. I implore for clan head to aid our teacher in case the rivals do anything that will harm our teacher’s reputation.”

Wang Hong’s eyes widened in shock as he heard the situation. Just yesterday, he had found out that his beloved daughter had not only obtained a magnificent teacher, but also a talented young child who found an interest in her. However now, he was being told that the teacher was being placed under one of the most harsh trials in the history of the Hongtian academy by that very same child.

Head spinning in confusion, clan head Wang Hong quickly ordered for the servants by the side to fetch several horses and carts before gathering them by the gate. Instantly, the elders and the clan head swung themselves upon the horses while Lu Fengyi took one as well, stretching a hand out to Wang Ying, “Take my hand and get up. We’ll double ride.”

Nodding slightly, Wang Ying took his hand tentatively before swinging upon the horse and sitting closely behind Lu Fengyi. With a shout, Wang Hong caused the horses to leap into action through a wave of zhenqi and the group bolted from the gate of the Wang clan residence.

Due to the intense speed in which the group was travelling, Wang Ying felt her body begin to slip off the horse. Instinctively grabbing onto anything she could, Wang Ying felt her hands wrap around a thick, yet warm and sturdy object. Looking up to see what she had grabbed, Wang Ying yelped in shock, trying to free her hands from the hold around Lu Fengyi’s waist, however a lurch in the horse’s movement caused her to only to tighten her grip.

Even though Lu Fengyi did not feel anything too significant for a girl that was in her teens, the actions of the shy teenager made his heart beat a little faster. After all, it wasn’t everyday that a shut-in writer like him would be embraced so tightly be a girl.

“So it seems that you have earned the favour of my younger sister…”

Lu Fengyi turned to the voice to see who had spoken, however he could already guess who it was. There sat Wang Tao, also riding a horse and levelling himself with the duo.
