Chapter 2704: Inauspicious Omen
As a transmigrator who had watched plenty of movies in his previous life, Zu An was familiar with movie tropes. If a character took out a photograph and said that they had loved ones waiting for them at home, that they would return home to get married after this last operation, they were pretty much doomed to die later in the show. Those were all death flags.
Zu An thought about his earlier farewells with the ladies and shook his head with a bitter smile. It’s like I’m doing a speedrun for collecting death flags.
But now that he was going on a long journey, that was the least of his concerns at the moment.
He had also sent a sliver of his soul to gather the academy’s teachers to leave some final instructions. He entrusted the leadership of the academy to Yan Xiangu. The latter was the old libationer’s first disciple, and had the greatest strength and the highest prestige, so no one objected to the appointment.
The teachers gave their cherished treasures to Zu An for his self-protection. Even Ji Dengtu, who often scoffed at him, took out a bottle of pills and said, “Brat, these are pills that Xiaoxi and I came up with recently. They work much better than the other pills we've made. I didn’t want to give them to you, but Xiaoxi insisted on it. Now that I’ve done so, you better not die outside and waste my pills.”
Zu An knew Ji Dengtu had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. The latter was clearly worried about him but refused to admit it. Thus, he replied, “Don’t worry, I can’t bear to leave Xiaoxi behind. I’ll come back to look for her.”
Ji Dengtu was so angry that he threw a tantrum. It was almost as if he could already see his beloved daughter being taken away by Zu An.
You have successfully trolled Ji Dengtu for +119... +119... +119...
Amid the uproar, Qi Yaoguang said, “Libationer, I’d like to have a private word with you.”
The others were astounded. Has our little junior sister fallen in love with the libationer? Even Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue have fallen for him, so I guess it’s not that surprising for our junior sister to harbor feelings for him too.
