In the hearts of most people, the Dean is the highest existence, the most knowledgeable person in this world, and the most prestigious person in the entire Bailu Academy.

Dare you steal the Dean's chickens?

The Dean might send you down the mountain to practice for a dozen or twenty years before letting you return.

However, Xiao Mochi and the others dared to entertain the idea of targeting these chickens.

Wang Shenghan felt that this matter was definitely inappropriate, so he wanted to dissuade them.

The problem was that Xiao Mochi and the others simply wouldn't listen.

But, as for his good friends, he couldn't possibly report them to the Dean himself, saying, "Dean, they want to steal your chickens."

So in the end, Wang Shenghan could only turn a blind eye and pretend not to know about it.

Wang Shenghan now only hoped that the Dean wouldn't be too angry when the time came, and also hoped that they wouldn't go too far and steal all dozens of chickens.

As for whether the Dean would find out, Wang Shenghan thought the possibility of discovery was quite high.

After all, those chickens were all raised by the Dean himself, day by day.

During the day, Xiao Mochi and the three others went to the town and bought four pearl chicken chicks.

They didn't know if the Dean was really raising pearl chickens, or if those chickens only looked like pearl chickens but actually had some kind of divine beast bloodline.

But it didn't matter, anyway, if they just put a pearl chicken chick back for the Dean, it should be fine.

That night.

While the Dean was out drinking, Xiao Mochi and the three others came to the backyard of the Dean of Bailu Academy.

Looking at the plump pearl chickens, Xiao Mochi and the others easily caught four of them, and then put the pearl chicken chicks into the chicken coop.

About an hour later, Qi Zhengju returned to the courtyard.

Qi Zhengju had a habit, which was that whenever he returned to the courtyard, he would go and take a look at the pearl chickens he carefully raised.

When Qi Zhengju looked at the appearance of the chicken coop, Qi Zhengju rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he had seen it wrong.

Why had four of his pearl chickens turned into chicks?

Could it be that these chickens had rejuvenated?

Qi Zhengju activated the formation in the courtyard to see what had happened during the time he was away.

He didn't know until he looked, but he was shocked.

Xiao Mochi and these three guys actually took the pearl chicken chicks and swapped them with the pearl chickens he raised.

Qi Zhengju was speechless for a moment.

In all these years, they were the first people who dared to come to his courtyard to steal chickens.

And weren't these guys just deceiving themselves?

They wouldn't really think that he wouldn't notice if they swapped four chickens, would they?

At the same time, Xiao Mochi and the others, who had stolen four chickens, bled, plucked, and scalded the four pearl chickens, and then put the four chickens on the fire rack to roast.

Before long, the aroma of roasted chicken wafted from the fire rack.

Xiao Mochi smeared honey on it and sprinkled cumin and chili powder.

The others all swallowed, wishing they could pounce on it.

After the pearl chicken was roasted, the people began to taste it.

He didn't know if it was because these pearl chickens were raised better, or if it was because these pearl chickens were stolen from the Dean, but he always felt that the meat of these pearl chickens was more delicious and juicy.

However, they were also certain in their hearts that these pearl chickens were just ordinary pearl chickens and didn't have anything strange about them.

This also made them feel more relaxed, after all, they were just four ordinary chickens.

Although he didn't know why the Dean raised such ordinary chickens, the Dean did have a knack for raising chickens, and they all wanted to buy a few more pearl chickens and hand them over to the Dean to raise.

Originally, Wang Shenghan didn't want to eat it, but Xiao Mochi and the three others held Wang Shenghan down, and then stuffed chicken into his mouth, forcing him to become an accomplice of the three of them, Wang Shenghan resigned himself to his fate.

Moreover, Wang Shenghan also felt that they were just four ordinary chickens, and the Dean probably wouldn't be very angry, but there would definitely be some punishment.

Sure enough, not long after, Xiao Mochi and the four of them were called over.

Qi Zhengju directly revealed that the three of them had stolen chickens.

In the end, the four of them were punished to transcribe ancient books, and the amount of homework every day was doubled.

Even Wang Shenghan was not spared.

Although Wang Shenghan's figure did not appear in the formation's afterimage, who knew if Wang Shenghan was watching from afar?

Anyway, these four people were as solid as a rock, and if they were to be punished, they would be punished together.

Not to mention that Wang Shenghan didn't even try to argue.

However, for them, these punishments were not painful at all.

In the following time, Xiao Mochi and the three others would still steal chickens from time to time, or steal chicken eggs.

Over time, Qi Zhengju even got used to it, and let these guys do whatever they wanted.

But their courses increased by one, which was to take care of these pearl chickens.

Time passed day by day.

The life of the four people studying at the academy was easy and comfortable.

Xiao Mochi even thought.

If such a life could continue, it wouldn't be a difficult thing.

When they reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, the four people refined their own natal magic weapons respectively.

Xiao Mochi refined a Confucian classic called "Tianwen Ji".

Lu Xiaoliu refined a Confucian blue shirt.

Nan Wenmo refined a painting.

And Wang Shenghan refined a set of pen and inkstone.

The four people felt very satisfied with their refined natal objects.

The four of them had also changed from ordinary scholars to Confucian sages.

Not to mention their virtues, just from their talents, they could even evaluate the Confucian libationer in a short time.

"In the past few years, you have learned the things I have taught you very well. Now, like your previous Mr. Jia, I have nothing to teach you."

Qi Zhengju said to the four people in this class.

"Our Confucian scholars need to go to the mortal dynasty to experience a period of time, and then choose to continue to work in the mortal dynasty, or continue to return to the academy to study and practice.

You should also be like this.

But before that, there is one thing you need to do, and this one thing can be regarded as a trial for the four of you."

Wang Shenghan took a step forward, looked at Qi Zhengju, and asked with a bow: "Sir, I don't know what this trial is?"

Qi Zhengju stroked his beard and slowly said: "I want you to go to the Western Regions."
