Since bribing the instructors wasn't against the rules, I swept my hand, conjuring a pile of immortal pattern plaques and sending them onto the platform ahead.
Yun Cangran's suspicions weren't unfounded, but once the instructors here were satisfied, at least the other students wouldn't be singled out.
"I happened to obtain these immortal patterns in the lower realm. Originally, I intended to give every instructor a set. Who knew Lu Jian would not only want them, but demand the entire lot?
