Beastmaster

Chapter 168 Logistics Old Man

The father and son walked out of the dean's residence and looked at the huge and empty college outside.

Jing Cangming felt a little sad. After all, it was so prosperous when he came here. But now even the least popular Warcraft Academy can surpass it.

"Dad, what do you think will become of this land in the future after the Xi Wanshou Academy is destroyed?" Jing Cangming asked his father who was blowing in the cold wind beside him thoughtfully.

At this time, the alcohol in their bodies had been completely eliminated, so they didn't feel uncomfortable with the cold wind.

Jing Kai turned around and looked at his son, who was almost as tall as him, and said, "I don't know. Maybe there will be a new college, or maybe it will be used for other things, but it may also be abandoned directly."

Jing Cangming raised his hand and touched his chin, frowning slightly, "Then how can I get the right to use this land?"

Jing Kai was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that his son asked him this because he wanted to get the right to use the land.

However, it must be said that the Western Wanshou Academy is, after all, the territory of the Inner Continent. If the Wanshou Pavilion can be moved here, it would be considered a successful entry into the continental forces, which would definitely be helpful for future development.

"We have to contact the royal family for this matter. All the land in the Western Continent belongs to the royal family. If you want to get the right to use the land, you naturally have to apply to the royal family."

"It seems I have to find time to visit the royal family."

"Okay, I'll go with you later. Judging from the current situation, even if this academy can continue to operate, it will not be able to restore its former glory. I'm sure the headquarters will no longer invest in it."

Jing Cangming nodded and said, "Let's go, Dad. It's time to go back."

"Haha, don't be in a hurry. Let's leave the celebration to them. We two still have things to do," Jing Kai said calmly with a smile on his face, looking ahead.

Jing Cangming was a little puzzled and looked at his father in confusion, "Is there anything else to be resolved?"

Jing Kai suddenly laughed, reached out and touched the back of his son's head, "Silly boy, you are still too kind."

Jing Cangming was immediately confused by what Jing Kai said. He didn't know why his father said that.

Looking at his son's puzzled expression, he said, "Haha, son, remember what your father said. If you want to live a more stable life in this world, you must eliminate all those who may be harmful to you."

Suddenly Jing Cangming's eyes widened, "Could it be?"

"Well, wait for me here, I'll be out in a minute," Jing Kai said, then turned around and went back to the dean's room.

In the cold wind, Jing Cangming stared in amazement as he watched his father walk into the dean's room.

Along with the miserable cries, the night seemed to come alive.

Soon, Jing Kai was seen holding a rag in his hand and wiping the blood off his hands and face.

Jing Cangming really underestimated his father's decisiveness. Compared with his father, he was indeed too indecisive.

Jing Kai looked at Jing Cangming who was standing in the cold wind with a smile, his hands still wiping, "What's wrong, son? Are you scared?"

Jing Cangming shook his head gently and said, "I'm not scared, but I've never seen my father so cruel, so I was a little surprised."

"Hahahaha," Jing Kai laughed and threw the rag he used to wipe the blood into the wind, letting it fly away.

"If I'm the only one here today, I promise that after tonight, no one in Wanshou Academy will be able to breathe." Jing Kai's voice was very flat, but Jing Cangming knew that his father was definitely not bragging and he could really do it.

Just when Jing Kai was about to take Jing Cangming away, Jing Cangming suddenly thought of someone.

This time it was Jing Kai's turn to wait here. Jing Cangming ran towards the teaching building like a little rabbit.

Jing Cangming quickly ran downstairs to the dormitory building and went straight to the door of a small room at the back of the first floor. On the door was a sign with three big characters "Logistics Department".

That’s right, Jing Cangming came this time just to see whether the logistics manager from the logistics department was still there.

Because Jing Cangming always felt that this old man was not an ordinary person.

"Knock knock knock", the sound of gentle knocks on the door echoed in the empty corridor. Jing Cangming stood alone at the door, waiting for it to open.

After a while, an old voice came, "Who is it?"

Jing Cangming took a breath and said, "Uncle, I'm Jing Cangming. I was a former student of Wanshou College and in Teacher Zhong's class. I was punished to sweep the floor and asked you what the broom was made of."

With a "creak", the door opened, revealing a crack, and the light inside immediately poured into the dark corridor.

The old man opened the door and looked at the little face that was both strange and familiar. He frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly looked at Jing Cangming with surprise, "Hey! Little guy! It's you! I remember it, come in, come in."

The old man warmly invited Jing Cangming in, and when Jing Cangming learned that the old man still remembered him, he felt warm in his heart.

Looking at the old man's face which was still the same as it was four years ago, Jing Cangming became more certain that this old man must be a beast general. Otherwise, how could he have kept his appearance unchanged for so many years at the age of seventy or eighty?

"Hahaha, kid! You're famous now. You kidnapped those little monsters and also kidnapped Old Ling. Finally, you defeated the Sha family. You're a legend! A legend!" The old man said as he raised his dry hand and gave Jing Cangming a thumbs up.

His eyes were full of admiration and he praised him frequently, as if he was not a member of the Ten Thousand Beasts Academy.

However, Jing Cangming's favorable impression of this old man immediately increased, because this old man was very sensible and must be a man who had seen the world.

Otherwise, if the retirement home they gave you is destroyed, can you not feel any resentment but instead praise it highly?

Jing Cangming was a little embarrassed by the old man's praise, "Grandpa, I'm really sorry. I have ruined the Ten Thousand Beasts Academy."

"Hey~? You can't say that, these bastards are useless, they will be destroyed sooner or later if they keep messing around like this. What's more, I'm just a logistics officer, whether it is destroyed or not has nothing to do with me, an old man", the old man said and waved his hand, indicating that this has nothing to do with me.

Jing Cangming immediately recovered from his guilt and said, "Haha, sir, you really see things clearly."

"Haha, whether you can see it clearly or not, in this world, being alive is better than anything else. Why do you have to worry about all those favors and grudges? Aren't you tired?" The old man said and looked at Jing Cangming meaningfully, as if he was instructing him on something.

Jing Cangming suddenly stopped smiling and talking. He just sat there dignifiedly, looking at the old man seriously.

Upon seeing this, the old man seemed to open his mouth and talked incessantly, "Boy, if you think what I say makes sense, just listen to it. If not, just think of me as an old man venting garbage to someone close to me."

Jing Cangming quickly said, "No, no, no, uncle, please don't say that. I have benefited a lot from your words."

"Haha, if you think so, I'll have to say a few more words," the old man said, smiling happily like a child who got candy.

Jing Cangming smiled and nodded, motioning for the old man to continue.

In the next half hour, the old man treated Jing Cangming as a family member, chatting with him about family matters, past events, and his views on the college.

Jing Cangming had been listening attentively without saying a word, just acting as a listener.

The old man was also very happy, because he did not look very approachable, so few people in the college were willing to chat with him like they did today.

After two hours, the old man finally stopped chattering, and Jing Cangming... was about to collapse.

Jing Cangming had actually yawned a long time ago and really couldn't sit still anymore, but he still listened to the old man talking and didn't show any impatience.

"Hehe, thank you for listening to an old and ugly man like me chattering for so long." The old man looked at Jing Cangming happily, as if he had never had such a happy chat before.

Because of his appearance, the old man is usually taciturn and has the same expressionless face to everyone, which leads to no one wanting to pay attention to him, so he was assigned to a position like logistics.

And Jing Cangming's actions today warmed the old man's heart.

"No, uncle, don't think too much. If I didn't want to chat with you, I wouldn't come to see you today," Jing Cangming said modestly to the old man. He seemed very serious, but in fact, everyone knew that he was just saying nice things.

"Okay, you don't have to lie to me, an old man. You've been listening to my troubles for two hours. I also want to hear your purpose. Tell me, why did you come to me today?" The old man got to the point directly.

Jing Cangming heard it, well, since the old man said so, he would not hide it. Jing Cangming looked at the old man solemnly, "Uncle, are you willing to come with me?"

The old man immediately became interested when he heard it, "Oh? You are the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, what do you want an old man like me to do?"

"Master, to be honest, ever since I met you many years ago, I have always felt that you are not an ordinary person, so I would like to invite you to come out of seclusion and become an elder in my Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion!"

"Hahahaha, kid, I'm just an ordinary person, you really think too much."

"Really?" Jing Cangming said as he raised his hand and grabbed the old man's shoulder, and the power of magma instantly dissipated from his hand.

The old man remained calm, except for his tattered linen clothes which were burnt, and there was no trace of his flesh at all.

"You kid, I can pretend after you hit me twice, but how can I pretend when you just play with my attributes?" said the old man with some displeasure.

"Haha, how about it? Uncle, come with me to the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, and I will give you the position and treatment of an elder," Jing Cangming then looked at the old man seriously and sincerely.

"Well, well, I don't have anything to do here anyway, so let me go for a walk with you."

After saying that, the old man stood up, walked to his tattered wardrobe, took out another identical linen shirt and put it on.
