No Need for Gratitude-Just Pay Me in Cash

Two weeks later... everyone returned safely to the capital.

After returning to the Imperial Capital Academy, Tang Miao learned that not only Mo Fan Zhan Kong, but Peng Liang, Song Xia, Jingjing, Bai Tingting had also been in the same situation and had eventually returned safely.

Although Pearl Academy suffered some losses in this experience, they were relatively minor compared to the overall situation.

The Imperial Capital Academy suffered enormous losses this time!

Pearl Academy suffered the loss of Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao.

However, the Imperial Capital Academy has lost a total of six people: Ming Cong, Lu Zhenghe, Liao Mingxuan, Zhao Mingyue, Xu Dalong, and Xiao Feng!

Although Lu Zhenghe deserved to die because of Lu Nian, the other five were a huge loss to the Imperial Capital Academy...

However, no matter what, things have already come to this. Lu Nian is finished, and the Imperial Capital Academy can only be thankful that someone still came back alive.

Regarding Lu Nian's death, the news report did not mention that Tang Miao and others killed him.

This was also Tang Miao's request; it's better to keep a low profile if possible.

After resting for two days in the capital, Qiu Yuhua and her team leaders prepared to take Tang Miao and the others back to Magic Capital.

Actually, Qiu Yuhua had wanted to leave with her people as soon as they returned that day. The reason was naturally that she was afraid Tang Miao would be poached!

Both schools were well aware that Tang Miao's strength had reached a high level after this experience!

Of course, this was only because they didn't know Tang Miao had already broken through to the advanced level. Otherwise, regardless of their mood, the teachers would have been responsible for leading everyone away...

On a sports field at Imperial Capital Academy, Tang Miao looked at Mu Ningxue beside him and said, "We're going back tomorrow. If you have any health problems, come find me in Magic Capital."

"Okay, thank you this time." Mu Ningxue nodded and said "Thank you!" again.

After all, if it weren't for Tang Miao, she might not have been able to come back this time.

Upon hearing this, Tang Miao reached out and grabbed Mu Ningxue's small hand.

For a fleeting moment, Mu Ningxue's first instinct was to refuse. However, upon seeing Tang Miao's Ice Element Energy emanating from him, she didn't refuse. In her mind, Tang Miao was examining her.

Mu Ningxue clearly hadn't expected that Tang Miao, who had originally intended to hug her, would suddenly change his mind and begin checking her up, sensing her resistance...

As long as Mu Ningxue doesn't use the "Ice Crystal Brake Bow," she'll be fine. She just doesn't realize it...

Tang Miao touched that soft little hand for a moment, then released it with slight disappointment. If he were to pursue this cold beauty wholeheartedly, it wouldn't be difficult.

But should he be allowed to lick the boots all the way through, like Mo Fan?

Tang Miao couldn't do it... After all, if he ended up getting nothing in return, wouldn't he lose face big time?

Since we can't figure it out now, we'll just have to leave it to fate in the future.

Then, Tang Miao said very solemnly, "As long as you don't use the Ice Crystal Brake Bow now, you shouldn't suffer any more backlash."

Mu Ningxue nodded, and that was why she was so grateful to Tang Miao! Her frozen heart had actually begun to crack slightly; otherwise, when Tang Miao held her hand just now, she would have immediately used an Ice Lock to make Tang Miao understand that her hand was not something that could be held casually!

After saying goodbye to Mu Ningxue, the group left the capital under the guidance of several teachers.

Upon returning to Magic Capital, Tang Miao was summoned to Dean Xiao's office.

He was very glad that he had let Tang Miao go with him this time, which saved so many students from the Pearl Academy!

Dean Xiao said with a broad smile, "Sending you on as an exchange student this time was truly the best decision I've ever made!"

"Yes, Dean Xiao, I agree with what you said." Tang Miao nodded, admitting it without a trace of modesty.

Dean Xiao's lips twitched slightly... Although it was indeed a fact! But, no matter how you looked at it, Tang Miao seemed to be asking for a beating?

"Dean Xiao, you don't need to be so grateful to me. I can't accept that. Instead, give me something practical."

"For example, Spirit Seed Fragment, Beast Soul suitable for my Little White's advancement, and so on..."

"Or you can pay me in cash..." Tang Miao said to Dean Xiao without any politeness.

To be honest, he really put in a lot of effort this time! Although the harvest was indeed considerable, he ended up giving up Spirit Essence that could be converted into money. And he still has to feed his daughter every day... his finances are really tight now!

Tang Miao now only has 50 million left.

Without some income, forget about improving my skills; I might not even be able to support my daughter...

Dean Xiao, who had just been looking happy, suddenly became speechless after hearing what Tang Miao said...

Although he hadn't originally intended to just give Tang Miao a verbal compliment, what the heck was this "said-yes" thing?!

However, after hearing Tang Miao's words about advancing to a higher level, Dean Xiao paused, then asked, "You've broken through to the advanced level?"

Tang Miao nodded, and Dean Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "You brat... you're really something else!"

It was rare to see Dean Xiao like this; clearly, his breakthrough to the advanced level was truly unbelievable, and indeed, it had happened far too quickly!

But is that surprising?

Tang Miao thought to himself: I haven't told you yet that I've broken through to more than one advanced level!

After thinking it over, he decided not to bring it up, lest Dean Xiao really treat him like a monster.

"Hey-hey..."

Tang Miao simply smiled, while Dean Xiao continued, "Your Dimensional Summon beast, though powerful, is ultimately not a creature of this world. Are you sure you want to help it evolve?"

In Dean Xiao's opinion, this matter was somewhat not worth it. After all, Dimensional Summon beasts were not from this world, and whether they would help or appear was entirely up to their whims.

Tang Miao nodded nonchalantly and said, "Of course."

"This time, Little White did a lot of work in the Barren City, and even almost died in Jinlin City. For that alone, it deserves my help to advance."

Asking Tang Miao to procure these necessary items himself was something Tang Miao really couldn't do. After all, he was poor!

His daughter's food is getting more and more expensive; the monthly cost of formula is giving Tang Miao a headache. He also needs resources to quickly improve his Space Element and Summoning Element. Otherwise, who knows when his third high-level awakening will be...

So, they might as well take advantage of every opportunity to scam someone! But then again, even if the school pays for it, they don't actually lose out. After all, the benefits it will bring to the Pearl Academy in the future will definitely outweigh their investment.

Sure enough, Dean Xiao nodded and chuckled, "Alright, I'll help you buy these. You're really not being polite to me these days!"

Tang Miao clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "Then thank you, Dean!"
