The beginning of summer had arrived and the temperature was gradually rising.
The Royal College was filled with lush trees and beautiful flowers. No matter where one went, the scenery was very pleasant.
After shaking off the disciples, Yang Wu followed Chen Zhao to his courtyard again. Tang Xiaohan, Wan Lanxin, and the Fifth Prince, Tang Chencheng were also there. The others were blocked outside and were not allowed to enter.
"Yang Wu, from now on, you will be the senior apprentice of the Alchemy Department. You have to be a leader and lead them to make more good pills," Chen Zhao said to Yang Wu sincerely.
Before, he wanted Yang Wu to be the vice dean because he was thinking of the disciples. Now that Yang Wu was the senior apprentice, he also wanted Yang Wu to be a leader.
Yang Wu spread his hands. "Elder Chen, you're making things difficult for me. I'm only here to become the martial arts champion. I don't have time to do anything else. Hurry up and write my name in the school. I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to go home and eat."
"Don't be in such a hurry. I'll treat you to a meal." Chen Zhao urged him to stay. He then said, "I don't need you to do too much. I just need to encourage them a little. Maybe they can create one or two Medicine Kings. I'll be satisfied."
"Elder Chen, you're making things difficult for me," Yang Wu said unwillingly.
His time was limited and he really didn't want to teach others. He was also in the process of improving himself.
"I know this is making things difficult for you. I won't ask for your help for no reason. I'll bring you to the school's medicine storehouse and let you pick some herbs in return. How about that?" Chen Zhao proposed.
Yang Wu thought for a moment. "I can go take a look. If there are no herbs I need, then forget about it."
"Okay, then you can stay here tonight. I'll take you there tomorrow. I'll get someone to prepare dinner. I also want to ask you about alchemy," Chen Zhao said quickly. Without waiting for Yang Wu's agreement, he hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare dinner. His actions clearly showed that he didn't want Yang Wu to object.
Yang Wu could only reveal a helpless expression. He muttered to himself, "This Elder Chen is really troublesome."
"Big Brother Yang Wu, it's good for you to stay for a night. You're already the Eldest Senior Brother of the Alchemy Department. If you haven't stayed in the Academy before, it wouldn't be right." Tang Xiaohan said happily.
She already had a place to stay in the academy, so it didn't matter if she returned to the palace or not. As long as she could get someone to report that she was safe, she would be happy no matter where she was with Yang Wu.
Wan Lanxin said, "I'll go back and tell Uncle Yang."
Yang Wu waved his hand and said, "Sister, you should stay too. Didn't you wish to become a disciple of the academy? Although you missed the opportunity, it's not bad to stay here and experience it now. "
"Okay, then I'll stay," Wan Lanxin said with a faint smile.
She just said that to test Yang Wu's reaction. How could she let Yang Wu stay alone? What if his soul was stolen by the princess?
Tang Xiaohan generously pulled Wan Lanxin's arm and said, "Sister Lanxin, you should stay too. I have a room in the courtyard. We can stay together."
Wan Lanxin instantly had a good impression of Tang Xiaohan after hearing that. Regardless of whether she liked it or not, it was already very difficult for her to say that in public.
Just then, Tang Chencheng finally found a chance to speak. He said to Yang Wu, "Young Master Yang, let's talk together?"
Yang Wu nodded lightly and followed him to the side to talk.
"Fifth Brother, what do you have to say that you can't let us know?" Tang Xiaohan said unhappily with a pout.
Tang Chencheng turned around and laughed dryly. "It's something that can't be said between men."
After Yang Wu and Tang Chencheng went to a corner, Tang Chencheng bowed slightly and said, "Young Master Yang, I'm sorry."
If anyone saw this scene, they would be shocked.
The high and mighty Fifth Prince was actually apologizing to someone who wasn't part of the imperial family. The world had changed.
Yang Wu said calmly, "Fifth Prince, Yang Wu can't accept it."
"No, no, Young Master Yang, you can accept it. I didn't fulfill my promise. Please forgive me. I will do my best to make up for it in the future," Tang Chencheng said sincerely again.
At the border, after Tang Chencheng lost his arm, Yang Wu had made a deal with Tang Chencheng. After Tang Chencheng reattached his arm, he had to take care of his parents when he returned to the imperial city. He also had to put in some good words for Yang Wu and do his best to pave the way for Yang Wu's return.
However, after Yang Wu returned, he didn't find Tang Chencheng doing anything for him. He was met with many obstacles on his way back and it wasn't easy for him to return to the imperial city.
If Tang Chencheng could be of some use, his journey back wouldn't be so dangerous.
The Fifth Prince didn't keep his promise. It would be strange if Yang Wu wasn't angry.
Tang Chencheng was so afraid of Yang Wu not only because of the trauma Yang Wu had left in him, but also because there was a powerful figure behind Yang Wu. He had already heard Fen Tianxiong mention this. Otherwise, why would a prince like him need to speak so humbly to Yang Wu?
Also, he had heard about Yang Wu's repeated disobedience. He had always wanted to stay in the academy and not return to the imperial city. It wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't meet Yang Wu again. Now that Yang Wu had appeared, he had no choice but to speak humbly.
Deputy Director Yang Wu's words had also shocked him. Yang Wu was already a Heavenly Pharmacist and had even been conferred the title of Marquis. If this continued, would Great Xia still tolerate Yang Wu?
Thinking of this, Tang Chencheng felt that it was best to cling onto Yang Wu's thigh. If they entered the supernatural world together in the future, Yang Wu's status would definitely be extraordinary and his identity as the Fifth Prince would be nothing.
Yang Wu turned to look at Tang Chencheng and asked, "Fifth Prince, what can you do to make up for it now?"
Tang Chencheng was instantly speechless.
The Yang family had already recovered and reached the peak again. What could he do for the Yang family or Yang Wu?
Yang Wu also didn't want to make things difficult for Tang Chencheng. He said, "Forget it. You really can't help me much. In the eyes of the Emperor, you're not important enough and can't help. I was too naive back then."
Tang Chencheng felt like his heart had been ruthlessly stabbed by a knife. He, the Fifth Prince, was being looked down upon as a useless person.
He really wanted to grab the people in the academy and ask them if they agreed with Yang Wu's words. He believed that their answer would be no.
Tang Chencheng moved his lips and said, "Young Master Yang, I …"
Yang Wu interrupted him and said, "You don't have to feel inferior and uncomfortable. After all, you're still young. After eight or ten years, when you sit on the throne, you might be able to help a little."
Tang Chencheng felt like dying. He said shamefully, "Young Master Yang, I …"
"Alright, you don't have to say anything. I know. Cultivate well here. I know that your goal is to enter Mount Emei, but with your talent, you'll probably only be an outer disciple. You'll have to return to the palace after a few years. Don't think too much about it." Yang Wu didn't give Tang Chencheng a chance to speak and once again shut him up.
Tang Chencheng wanted to cry. He wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it. He didn't want to listen to Yang Wu's words anymore.
Yang Wu knew when to stop. He didn't continue to mock Tang Chencheng. Instead, he said with a serious expression, "Alright, go back and cultivate. Prove that you're someone who can help me first."
Tang Chencheng couldn't control himself anymore. He asked Yang Wu loudly, "Young Master Yang, do you look down on me that much?"
"It's not that I look down on you. It's just that the gap between us is too big. We're not on the same level," Yang Wu said calmly.
"You're right. The gap between us is getting bigger and bigger, but that doesn't mean that I don't have a chance to catch up. I'll definitely prove to you that I, Tang Chencheng, am not a mediocre person!" Tang Chencheng said with determination.
After saying that, he turned and left the courtyard resolutely.
"I'll wait and see," Yang Wu murmured as he looked at Tang Chencheng's back.
Now, Yang Wu's requirements for helpers were getting higher and higher. Tang Chencheng really wasn't much help in his eyes.
Tang Xiaohan skipped over and asked, "Why did my fifth brother leave in a huff? Big Brother Yang Wu, did you bully him?"
"How could a kind person like me bully someone?" Yang Wu shrugged. Then, he looked at Tang Xiaohan and said, "Princess, your body is precious. It's not worth it for you to sacrifice so much for me."
He was prepared to lay all his cards on the table with Tang Xiaohan so that he wouldn't be entangled with this girl.
Tang Xiaohan clasped her hands behind her back and tiptoed. "If my father hadn't arranged for me to marry you, I wouldn't have known of your existence. Perhaps I wouldn't have even looked at you. But fate has arranged it this way. I can only listen to fate and follow my heart."
"I already have someone I love and many women around me. You can only be a concubine if you follow me," Yang Wu said seriously.
"Hehe, if that's the case, then I'm willing." Tang Xiaohan laughed heartlessly. She paused and said, "You might not know this, but when I was young, I knew that I would definitely get married. However, my mother always told me that the person I would marry in the future would be very outstanding, or else he wouldn't be worthy of me. At that time, I had some expectations, but when I got older, I realized that I couldn't decide who I wanted to marry, so I stayed in the academy to cultivate. I hoped that I could become stronger as soon as possible and control my own fate. But it seems that before I could become stronger, you appeared. You're loyal, righteous, and strong. You even dared to disobey my father's orders and could deal with it calmly. I feel that you're a true man and you're very handsome. You seem to have a very charming temperament that makes people slowly fall for you. I realized that I like you, so please accept your fate. I, Tang Xiaohan, will pursue you."
The last sentence was directly imprinted in Yang Wu's heart. Even Lan Jiaoji couldn't block it.
