Chapter 159: The Beginning Of The Plan

As dawn broke, at the entrance of Kali Academy\'s store, a Mighty Ape Demon stretched its body, unable to resist yawning.

The other Mighty Ape Demon nearby yawned along with it, grumbling, "Why haven\'t they arrived yet? These lazy bones are killing me with sleepiness."

"They\'re here!" said the yawning ape demon in front.

A small-stature fox demon was approaching quickly. It had long, shiny, brown-yellow hair, a sharp, pointed mouth, and a slender build. Its eyes were huge, and it was easy to see where the demon’s gaze shifted to as they darted around.

"You\'re a bit late today, Manager Hu!" chuckled one of the ape demons.

The fox demon, Manager Hu, replied irritably, "I\'m not late; you\'re just getting lazy. Come inside for the handover, then you can go to sleep."

"Alright!"

The two apes followed Manager Hu as he opened the door and entered the academy store.

Just as they entered, Manager Hu suddenly stopped, and his already large eyes widened even further. He darted forward like lightning the next instant, rushing straight to the counter.

The Mighty Ape Demon guards were startled and quickly followed, with one shouting, "Manager Hu, what\'s wrong?"

With an angry and sharp voice, Manager Hu exclaimed, "What\'s going on? How do you guys do your job? Why is a cabinet door open?"

The two Mighty Ape Demons hurried forward to check, and indeed, a cabinet door in the medicine area was open. The medicine counter facing the main entrance was very conspicuous, which was why Manager Hu had noticed it immediately.

"It\'s impossible! Everything was fine when we were patrolling," the Mighty Ape Demons quickly defended.

However, Manager Hu remained silent, visibly angry. He swiftly took out a ledger from the counter and started comparing it with the contents of the opened cabinet.

His grim and angry expression gradually eased as he murmured, "Nothing\'s missing, nothing at all. That\'s good, that\'s good."

The two Mighty Ape Demons looked confused. "Manager Hu, what\'s going on? This cabinet..."

Manager Hu glanced back at them and said, "Strange... I don\'t know why the cabinet door was open, but nothing inside is missing."

Since nothing was missing, it ruled out the possibility of the Mighty Ape Demons stealing. Moreover, they were only responsible for patrolling and didn\'t know how to open the cabinets in the first place. Forcing them open would have immediately triggered an alarm.

"Good that nothing\'s missing!" The Mighty Ape Demons sighed in relief.

But Manager Hu did not dare to relax. He immediately walked out from behind the counter towards the back vaults and found that the vault doors were all properly closed. He quickly opened one and went inside to inspect the vault\'s contents.

None of them noticed that when Manager Hu opened the first vault door, a shadow flashed out, silently exiting the academy store.

At the janitors’ house.

"I\'m sorry, Old Mao, I\'m late today. I woke up a bit late this morning," Tang San said apologetically.

"It\'s alright, you\'re only a few minutes late. Just be careful next time. Go to work," Old Mao said with a smile.

"Yes, I\'ll go right away."

Watching Tang San pick up the cleaning supplies and head out to work, Old Mao\'s gaze became even softer. The boy had been there for a week and he was performing almost flawlessly. He was dexterous, not talkative, did well whatever he was instructed to do, and was very thorough in cleaning. This week, the person in charge of general academic affairs had praised him twice for areas cleaned by Tang San.

Thus, Tang San was undoubtedly confirmed for the job. Starting this week, he would come three days a week for cleaning, with possible additional calls in exceptional cases. The salary was settled weekly at twenty demonshard coins. For a human vassal, this was a reasonably good income.

Twenty demonshard coins were enough for a human vassal to live comfortably in Kali City; with some frugality, there could even be savings.

Moreover, Tang San was still only a ten-year-old child.

After a day\'s work, Tang San returned to the Redemption Society, had dinner, and spent time cultivating with Du Bai. Du Bai\'s spiritual power had been improving fast this past week, showing that Tang San\'s cultivation method—some people would call it psychological torture, but those people were not there to see it—was quite effective. It significantly stimulated the growth of his spiritual power.

The Celestial Fox bloodline itself also significantly accelerated the growth of Du Bai\'s spiritual power.

Tomorrow, Tang San could cultivate at the academy again without going to Kali Academy.

After finishing cultivation with Du Bai, Tang San returned to his room and began writing and drawing on paper, preparing for his next steps based on his memories.

Tang San was cautious. In the following week, he did not attempt to infiltrate Kali Academy\'s store again, and he just stuck to his routine of work and cultivation.

During this week, luck allowed him to see Mei Gongzi twice. Tang San felt his mood brighten like sunshine each time he saw her.

The only thing that made Tang San impatient was that, during his time at Kali Academy, he saw the young man from the Golden Lion clan with Mei Gongzi one-third of the time.

Although he saw no close interactions between Mei Gongzi and the young man, it worsened Tang San\'s mood. Being younger was an issue, but it was also undeniable that the Golden Lion Dog had excellent qualities in many aspects. What if...

Yes, "dog" was the nickname Tang San had given him.

Tang San felt helpless about this; his plan needed more time. With his current strength, he was still lacking. He had to hasten the execution of his plan!

Night fell. The night always carried a sense of mystery. Even in the dark stillness... some remained active.

Tang San quietly left the small Academy Town and once again arrived at the back door of Kali Academy under the cover of night.

With a flickering white light in his eyes, the Discerning Eye of Heaven activated. Tang San silently sensed his luck.

Du Bai had already blessed him in the evening, so Tang San\'s luck was bound to be good. Still, he decided to observe cautiously for safety.

He waited at the back door.

It seemed that fortune still favored him, as two drunkards arrived together, quietly knocking on the door.

The door opened, and the guard quietly pulled it open, letting them in.

Seizing this opportunity, Tang San darted out from the shadows with a Leopard Flash, preparing to enter as he had before.

However, as he leaped out, a sudden, inexplicable sense of alarm surged in his heart.

Not good!

He immediately aborted his Leopard Flash, tapped the ground with his right foot, flipped backward, and darted toward the distance.

At the same time, a large hand grabbed at the air, precisely where he would have been had he continued with his Leopard Flash.

Immediately following was a loud shout. "WHO DARES TO TRESPASS?"

A powerful aura erupted, and a figure wrapped in blue-purple light charged out, moving directly toward Tang San.

Eighth order! At least eighth order! In the instant of the opponent\'s eruption, Tang San immediately understood what he was facing.

A strong sense of danger struck again, and Tang San swiftly dodged, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and narrowly avoiding the strike of two bolts of lightning.

He activated Leopard Flash again. Although his Flash Leopard bloodline imprint was only at the fourth order, his cultivation was at the sixth, which gave him more than enough energy. Thus, he blinked continuously from place to place, using the trees around to conceal himself.
