Ye Changqing instantly turned scarlet.
He understood what Qin Fangyang meant now: the boy had given him Top-Grade Star Soul Jade, made such an enormous contribution to their school, and even acted as bait for them, surviving by the skin of his teeth. Then he had come back and given them two King Beasts, a chance for Hidden Dragon High Martial to soar!...
And all he had given the boy was an Annihilation Sky Pagoda that had little use beyond serving as a Space Ring-and it was only on loan... on loan...
Ye Changqing felt as though his face were being slapped resoundingly. For a moment, he wished the ground would swallow him.
His face and neck flushed red as he said, "What do you mean, loan? It's just a little trinket. I gave it to Xiao Duo to play with ages ago. Didn't I, Xiao Duo?"
As he spoke, he looked at Zuo Xiaoduo, pleading in his eyes.
Stop saying it's on loan. I gave it to you! It's yours!
Zuo Xiaoduo caught his meaning at once. "Principal Ye gave it to me."
Qin Fangyang said, "Oh, oh... That's why I said Principal Ye was generous."
Ye Changqing gave a dry laugh.
Qin Fangyang turned to lecture Zuo Xiaoduo. "The Annihilation Sky Pagoda is a fine thing. Since Principal Ye gave it to you, hurry up and take care of it. Find an expert to bind it to you with Divine Sense! Otherwise, with anyone able to enter it right now... how can anyone rest easy?"
Zuo Xiaoduo nodded obediently. "Yes, yes. I'll find a way."
Qin Fangyang said, "That's more like it! Get this done as soon as possible. You must set it up properly. You child, you never let anyone stop worrying."
Zuo Xiaoduo bowed his head
