Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 486: I Do Not Wish To Harm Them, But They wish To Harm Me (3)

"To understand humanity better and rope in some humans to their side." Liu Hong said, "They must be getting restless after staying in the Foreign Students Faculty for so long. What information can they get cooped up in their faculty? They are allowed to carry out missions, but there are a lot of restrictions for them. If they can form teams with humans for these missions, a lot of these restrictions will be removed."

Su Yu said, "So someone is giving them the support to do this?"

"Perhaps." Liu Hong casually spat some sunflower seed shells onto the ground before saying, "What are you going to do? Your multiple character faction is clearly the best faction to bully. If the Foreign Students Faculty want to do something, you guys are the best target."

"The single character faction is probably behind this. The Foreign Students Faculty wouldn\'t have targeted us otherwise. They should be aware that we still have some influence and support in the academy."

It wasn\'t likely that Zhu Hong was Xia Qing\'s target. Doing so could easily make them new enemies. As for the multiple character faction, their sole expert, Hong Tan, had entered seclusion. Nobody knew how long he would stay in seclusion.

Su Yu had a gloomy expression. He was trying to stay low key. But these people refused to let him be! This was intolerable!

Xia Qing! This damn tigress was trying to screw him up!

Liu Hong smiled, "Don\'t provoke her. These myriad race students are allowed to enter the academy with their dao protectors. There are Cloudbreach and Mountainsea cultivators among these protectors. They are very strong. They will generally remain idle, but if you do something, they might make a move as well."

Suddenly, Su Yu said, "She\'s my friend."

"Hmm?"

"She\'s my good friend."

Leaving those words behind, Su Yu turned and left. She was a good friend. Thus, he had decided to find a chance to go out on a mission with this good friend of his sometime. During the mission...she would heroically sacrifice herself to save him from danger. She would not be able to return to the academy alive.

Yes. She was a good friend. There was no need to deny that. It was pointless. But since she was claiming to be his friend, if he asked her to join him on a mission, would she say no? If she agreed to leave with him, she would die. If she disagreed, then she would be making it clear that she wasn\'t his friend.

Protectors? Cloudbreach and Mountainsea cultivators? Sure. It was time for Su Yu to subdue those fellows in the prison zone. And their first mission would be to deal with these protectors.

"Even when I\'m trying to stay low-profile, some people are still trying to provoke me."

Su Yu was speechless. How had he provoked them? Why had they picked him as their opening move? Did they think that he was a pushover?

...

Su Yu ignored the challenge match and left the area.

As for the damage on his reputation, there was nothing he could do for now. If he denied it, Xia Qing would definitely agree to his words with a pitiful expression. In that situation, nobody would believe him.

The smart ones would understand without a need for him to say anything. And the less smart ones wouldn\'t understand it even if he explained it to them. The best option for him was to return with the corpse of this tigress and lament about the heroic sacrifice of the tigress. At that time, would the other myriad race students still dare to become his friend?

...

Not long after Su Yu left, Xia Qing left the ring.

A few other cloaked individuals were waiting near the ring. They left together and walked in the direction of the Foreign Students Faculty.

After ensuring that nobody was around them, one of them said, "Xia Qing, what should we do if Su Yu comes out to deny this?"

Xia Qing smiled, "Deny this? We\'re friends. How can he deny that? If he denies it, sure, I\'ll go along with his words. I\'ll even offer to make a public announcement that he\'s not my friend."

They smiled and said nothing else. True. If Su Yu denied it, they would gladly go along with his words. Before long, they entered the Foreign Students Faculty. And after a short walk, they reached their lodging area.

Numerous villas could be seen standing beside a river. The environment was graceful and tranquil. But for such a living environment, they had paid a high price.

After entering one of these villas, Xia Qing removed her cloak, revealing an appearance that was similar to a regular human with the addition of a tail.

Xia Qing looked like a frail lady yet her eyes were exceptionally bright. She had the appearance that would evoke ones protectiveness. But at this moment, she had an emotionless expression.

There were two old men in the room she had entered. They looked completely human. Not even their tails could be seen. Only a tiny bit of demonic aura could be felt from their bodies.

"Third Grandpa, Ninth Grandpa..."

Xia Qing greeted the two with the cloud tiger language. The two nodded. One of them said, "Princess, what should we do next?"

Xia Qing sat down on the couch and immersed herself in the comfort of the couch. After a while, she smiled, "The human race sure knows how to enjoy life. They have spent so much effort on even a chair. Isn\'t it better to use their time to study more about cultivation instead?"

She shook her head and laughed. "Grandpas, we don\'t have lofty goals. We are only trying to get some authority. Since we are already here, we can\'t settle with being trapped in this faculty all the time, right?"

Xia Qing smiled, "I do not intend to make things hard for Su Yu. If he is really willing to befriend us, we can really help him against the single character faction students. Isn\'t it good for him to get more helpers? If he\'s unwilling, forget it. By helping him and ruining his reputation, some other people will naturally approach us for cooperation, ensuring that everyone will believe that he is our friend."

"Will it be Zhou Pingsheng or Zhou Mingren?"

"I don\'t know." Xia Qing said, "The multiple character faction has too many enemies. But it doesn\'t matter since we aim to establish a foothold in the human race instead of being stuck here."

"It doesn\'t matter if we have to become their hired thugs or cooperative partners. Anything is better than being stuck here, learning whatever the academy sees fit to teach us and not leaving unless the academy allows us to. If we have to continue staying here, what\'s even the point of coming to the Human Realm?"

Xia Qing\'s eyes flickered as she said, "We can serve as a powerful group of hired thugs. We have a decent number of Cloudbreach and Mountainsea cultivators among us. Previously, nobody was paying attention to us. That will change soon. Even the sects established by the other races will start trying to contact us."

One of the old men asked, "How about Wan Tiansheng?"

Xia Qing smiled, "If Principal Wan questions us, we can simply say that we\'re luring the Myriad Race Cult out for them. In any case, the cloud tiger race does not have a sect in the Human Realm. The other races won\'t really care even if we betray these sects to the human race. Ultimately, it will only be an internal conflict between humans. Everyone will be happy to sit back and enjoy the show."

In short, if Wan Tiansheng continued ignoring them, they could keep going with their plan. Before long, they would be able to assimilate into the human race. And if Wan Tiansheng questioned them, they could easily sell off some cult members to obtain Wan Tiansheng\'s trust.

The old man nodded. After some thought, he spoke through voice transmission, "Isnt it too risky for the cloud tiger race to be the first race to make a move?"

"Not at all." Xia Qing said, "The higher the risk, the higher the reward. It doesn\'t matter if our choice is the human race, the devil race, or the divine race. We need to showcase enough value. Our race is too weak. We can only rely on these powerful races. Meanwhile, this multiple character faction is weaker in the human realm and is the target of all the other races. In this situation, offending Su Yu will pose us no risk whatsoever. We might even rely on this to get a powerful backer in the Human Realm."

She was well aware that the single character faction was far bigger than what she saw in the academy. In fact, the true headquarters of the single character faction was located in Great Zhou. There, they had a super expert that was on the verge of reaching the Invincible Realm.

After some time in the Human Realm, they had also gained more understanding of the human race. This was a decision they reached after spending three months in silence. They needed to do something.

If they continued as they were, they would fail to gain anything even after a few years in the Human Realm. In that case, they would have paid a high price to join a human academy for nothing.

The two old men still looked worried. Xia Qing smiled, "Don\'t worry. It will be fine. Principal Wan himself intended to have us help temper their students. That was why he had invited us here in the first place. And this is precisely what we\'re doing. He won\'t interfere. And as long as he stays out of it, nobody else in the academy will get involved."

"The princess is wise."

The two bowed. The Cloud Tiger King\'s decision to send the princess here was indeed the right choice. Only Princess Qing would have the intelligence to devise all these plans.
