Chapter 959: Token
Three brothers, the same ones Tan Bingyu and the Tan family had met before had finally met the Moon Goddess and even got her personal token. The brothers looked at the token that was being given to them. They hesitated in taking it.
"We are Blood Demon Halflings. Are you sure you are going to trust us with your token, Miss Yuelei?" The eldest finally confessed their identities.
The Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor already knew of this fact and looked even more confused why these brothers are now mentioning it at this time.
Shen Jueyang said, "You live in the Blood Sea Shore of course we know you are Blood Demon Halflings. Only halflings live at the shore of the blood sea while the pure blood demons live in the blood sea. Why say something obvious?"
"This is my personal token in the Black Cloud Academy. I can give it to anyone I want. Since I am willing to give it to you, it means that I trust you. You brothers were even willing to escort my people to safety just because they bought some seafood for you before. This shows you brothers had a good heart." the Moon Goddess said.
The three brothers were confused at first until they heard the words the Moon Goddess had spoken. Something about escorting and protecting someone. There is only one group they had protected as they were their first customer. Moreover, these customers are loyal ones who come over every three days to buy more seafood.
"AH! You are the Mistress of the Tan Family, they are talking about!" The youngest exclaimed in shock.
This time his brothers failed to stop as they themselves didn’t expect this. Thanks to their loyal customers the Tan Family, the other people were no longer scared of buying their products even after learning that they are blood demon halflings. Now people seem to believe that not all Blood Demon Halflings are psycho who loves blood. More and more people started buying things from them since then and they were extremely thankful to the Tan Family for it.
The Moon Goddess said, "Yes. I am their Mistress. Your seafood has always been fresh and high quality. It’s the best for making high grade Spirit Food. I have a lot of people to feed and maybe in the future I will buy more from you. This token is just something to keep you safe and for the people in the Black Cloud Academy to open the gates for you."
"Miss Yuelei, are you standing in the Black Cloud Academy high?" The youngest among the brothers asked innocently.
Yue Xuexia never liked people who were pure and innocent as long as they didn’t act too stupidly.
The Moon Goddess looked at the youngest man with a gentle gaze, "I am the only disciple of the former principal of the Black Cloud Academy. A position that didn’t hold true power but enough authority to allow my groceries to be delivered to my own place."
Upon hearing this, the eldest among the three brothers finally accepted the token from the Moon Goddess.
"Miss Yuelei, we accept the delivery order. I am the eldest, my name is Hong Yi. My second brother is called Hong Er and the youngest is named Hong San"
The Moon Goddess smiled as she said back, "Yuelei Xuexia and his name is..."
"Shen Jueyang," the Immortal Sun Emperor said his name.
After they had introduced themselves, the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor noticed that the sun was about to set and chose to return to the Black Cloud Academy to cook dinner.
Meanwhile at the Han Clan’s mansion...
Han Siri is still crying out to their ancestors with Han Siyu beside his stupid brother watching him throw tantrums before the ancestors and the elders. He was like a child that couldn’t get the candy he had been asking to get and even got spanked in the end. In his case, he got beaten up.
Han Clan’s Ancestor asked, "Siyu, what happened to your younger brother? Who beat him up like this?"
"Ancestors, please don’t ask. That is entirely his fault. Who told him to hug someone’s thigh against the other’s will. He was beaten by the lover whose thigh he had just clinged on. Moreover, he had been rude towards the Divine Doctor from the beginning. It serves him right!" Han Siyue said.
Han Siri said, "It’s not my fault. The Divine Doctor was so young. I thought... she didn’t have the skill... So, I..."
"A divine doctor’s legacy is inherited. From the first to the current one, and this legacy can only be inherited by the present era’s Divine Doctor. Unless this era’s divine doctor wasn’t dead, a new one will never be chosen," said the Han Clan’s Ancestor. "Then you questioned whether the current divine doctor had the ability to refine pills?!"
"Why didn’t your brother beat you to death?!" The ancestor shouted in rage.
This time Han Siri was once again beaten up by father, his uncle and even his grandfather. It was such a nice beating and even Han Siyu recorded the whole thing for his mother, aunts and grandmother to watch later. This spoiled younger brother of his, had always been like this. Unable to hold back his poisonous tongue, he had offended a lot of people and if not for the fact that his talent in alchemy is quite high, he wouldn’t have existed today.
Ignoring Han Siri being beaten, the ancestor approached Han Siyu and asked, "How is the reaction of the Divine Doctor?"
"She said that she will not teach him but he can watch and learn as much as he can. His name will be removed from the participant list on the Alchemy Battle though," said Han Siyu.
Ancestor Han said, "As long as he can learn alchemy it should be alright."
"No! It’s not okay! I want pill recipes, I want natal flames. I want it too!" Han Siri shouted.
After talking to everyone in the pill tower and sharing what he had learned with them. Han Siri had learned that the Divine Doctress had given everyone from the Pill Tower their own special flame as their natal fire for alchemy. Even his brother was given a rare kind of flame that is hard to get from an outside source.
Han Siyu said, "Who should you ask? You have annoyed Lord Shen! Do you think he will give you one now? Who told you not to hold back your tongue!? You can only blame yourself!"

After the third day of the final renovation...
The destruction within the academy had been fully restored. Even the Moonlight Peak’s mansion had been built beautifully to match the purple bamboo garden surrounding it. Shen Jueyang had made sure that the structure of Yue Xuexia’s place fits the location and even the necessary formation for defense was also done. After everyone had done their job well, the Moon Goddess had made them a spirit food feast for them to enjoy before returning to where they belong.
On the day the renovation was completed, the Tan Family had finally come over to the Black Cloud Academy and was introduced to Wu Yao and Wu Zhou by the Moon Goddess herself.
Yue Xuexia said, "Master, Martial Uncle Zhou, this is the Tan family. They are all my subordinates. Jueyang, Grandpa Tan and Grandma Tang will be staying with me at the Moonlight Peak while Bingyu and Renxue will enter the academy as students. They had received a token from a teacher of the academy before."
"Oh? Can you show me the token that Master, Disciple Tan and Disciple Xue had received?" Wu Zhou said.
Xue Renxue brought out the token from the old man whom they had saved before and accidentally passed his test to become his student. When Wu Yao and Wu Zhou had seen the token, it was actually Sword Immortal from the Sword Tomb Peak of their academy. One of the oldest masters staying within the Black Cloud Academy.
"Sword Immortal Master? You’ve truly met this senior!?" Wu Zhou exclaimed.
Wu Yao suddenly turned serious and looked at Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue intently. He noticed that these two unexpectedly can use the first level of sword intent even though it was only beginner mastery.
"Sword intent?! You two can actually use it?" Wu Yao said.
Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue looked confused and then glanced at their mistress who was seated at the swing Shen Jueyang had recently made in her master’s peak.
"Is sword intent that hard to learn?" Xue Renxue asked while looking completely innocent and bewildered at the same time.
Wu Zhou said, "Do you two think it’s easy to learn sword intent!? How did you two even learn it?"
"We’ve only watched the sword intent the Mistress had left to us then learned it," Tan Bingyu answered honestly leaving the two seniors dumbfounded.
Wu Yao and Wu Zhou turn his heads to look at the Moon Goddess playing on the swings with the Immortal Sun Emperor. For some reason, they felt that teaching these two would be the hardest thing to do. How about they just teach them instead? Maybe they would gain a lot.
