Chapter 128 A Heart-to-Heart Exchange
[At the age of fourteen, within two years of entering the Chanyu Academy, you had almost finished reading all the books in the Wisdom Palace and quickly published your graduation thesis, Dasata.]
In your spare time, you also submitted papers and research findings to the other five major schools of thought, all of which received the approval and praise of the scholars.
[After joint deliberation by the six major schools of thought, it has been unanimously decided to confer upon you the degree of Kebantu from the Sixth Academy.]
The reputation of this young prodigy once again resounded throughout the entire Faculty of Orders. The youngest Faculty member in history, and the only scholar simultaneously recognized by all six Faculties, became a popular topic of conversation.
Hazard often takes you to various academic conferences, which shows he's very satisfied with you as a student, especially when he sees his rivals Nafis and Gülečki looking at him with a mixture of envy and jealousy.
When you don't have any research projects, you have more things to consider.
For example, should we accompany the deity on a leisurely stroll outside the city today, or go to the Grand Bazaar to see Little Nile's performance?
"Let me see, sugar, milk, nuts, dates..."
"Bang!" "Clatter!"
"Mu Feng! Something's happened! Uh..."
The wooden door to the room was forcefully flung open from the outside. The loud noise startled Mu Feng, who was engrossed in his work, and the half-peeled date fell into the milk pot with a thud.
Kavi, who burst through the door, awkwardly scratched his head and silently took a few steps back, looking at Mu Feng, whose face was splattered with milk and whose expression was terrifyingly dark.
It seems like he arrived at an inopportune time?
“Kavi, I suggest you really have something important to say.”
With gritted teeth, Mu Feng scooped up the ruined dates from the pot, tossed them in his hand, and deliberately emphasized the words "important matter."
Otherwise, Mr. Mu wouldn't mind letting the great architect have a taste of the unexpected coconut.
"Ah, that's right, you should take a look at your paper!"
After Mu Feng's reminder, Kavi finally remembered the purpose of his hasty arrival. His expression instantly turned anxious and serious, and he urged him urgently.
paper?
Mu Feng, who rarely saw Kavi in such a hurry, wiped his hands in confusion. He walked out of the kitchen and immersed his consciousness into the Void Terminal to check the database of the Order Institute.
Could it be...
He already had a vague idea of what was going on.
A few minutes later, Mu Feng turned off the Void Terminal and walked back to the kitchen as if nothing had happened. He took out a new date palm and began leisurely peeling the flesh again.
The truth is exactly as you suspected: the name of the Ming School sage, Azhar, has appeared prominently in several of your recent academic papers.
Rather than deliberately feigning shock and anger, it's more accurate to say that all of this was entirely within your expectations, or even that you were secretly orchestrating it.
As for the reason, the current Great Sage is about to retire, and the power struggle among the Sages over the highest authority in the Council of Religion has quietly begun.
[For Hazard to successfully assume the position of Great Sage, in addition to the support of more than half of the scholars, academic achievements are also a crucial criterion.]
Compared to Nafis and others, relying solely on his cronies clearly cannot compensate for Hazard's academic disadvantages.
At this point, if he simply places several flawless academic papers respectfully on the other party's desk and awaits approval, then what will happen will naturally follow, won't it?
A cold smile curled at the corner of Mu Feng's lips.
After all, how could he gain the trust of his naturally suspicious mentor without paying some price?
However, Mu Feng's nonchalant reaction sent a chill down Kavi's spine as he secretly observed from the side.
This eerie feeling finally reached its peak after the other party served a plate of date and coconut honey with a beaming smile.
"Since things have come to this, would you like a date and honey candy?"
The young architect fell silent, feeling that he and his older brother had a peculiar way of thinking.
Hey buddy, are you all right?
"Oh, of course I'm fine."
Kavi chuckled dryly. If he hadn't seen the other man holding a date the size of a human head, slicing it open with his left and right hands while muttering something about his dear mentor, his statement might have seemed somewhat credible.
Seemingly sensing the "you'll see if I believe you" look on Kavi's face, Mu Feng coughed a few times, patted Kavi on the shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Ahem... that Kavi..."
"I believe that my mentor must have had a serious illness... uh, he must have had his reasons for doing this."
"Don't worry, I'll go and have a heart-to-heart talk with him right away."
Kavi nodded helplessly. Although he highly doubted whether the other person's heartfelt words were genuine, it seemed that he could only do as he was told now.
Since things have come to this, let's eat some candy first.
"Hey, your skills are pretty good. Where did you learn them?"
A few minutes later, Kavi, lying on the sofa, happily chewed on a date and coconut candy and asked a question indistinctly.
"I plan to go back and install a similar function on my Mehrab, which is still under design."
On a cold winter day, it would be wonderful to be able to enjoy delicious date and coconut honey and steaming hot coffee simply by lying at home doing nothing.
"Here, the recipe."
"Thank you, but by the way, Mu Feng, when did you start learning to make this? Which girl in the Order Academy are you sending it to? Aren't you afraid Little Nilu will come after you when she gets back?"
Suddenly, Kavi grinned and nudged Mu Feng with his elbow, his mysterious smile practically screaming gossip.
"Can't I learn it myself for fun?"
"You're kidding me. I've known you for so many years and I've never seen you cook more than a few times."
"Okay, actually it's a gift for Lord Grass God."
"This is getting more and more outrageous. Fine, fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then I won't ask anymore."
Kavi pursed his lips. Although he still believed in Mu Feng's character, the fact that his brother had a secret he was keeping from him was a serious betrayal!
It seems we must gather El-Haisen-Tina-Riseno to interrogate this mysterious fellow.
Noticing Kavi's resentful gaze, Mu Feng revealed a half-moon eye, then helplessly shrugged.
See, he's told both the truth and lies, but if nobody believes him, there's nothing he can do, right?
"By the way, don't tell Nilu about the thesis, or she'll worry for days."
"I know, I know. I didn't even have dinner before telling you this news. How heartless of you, my friend."
"Alright, Lambad Tavern is on me, wanna come?"
"Elbow! Today I'm going to make you bleed a fortune!"
