"You found it?"
Hearing Meng Huai's words, Bu Zun stood up excitedly and asked again. He was about to grab Meng Huai's shoulder, but they weren't close enough for that, so he reconsidered.
Meng Huai's strength had greatly increased after experiencing the heavenly tribulation, and she was no longer comparable to her past self. Now, she was only a step away from ascension, and had mastered many things that were previously beyond her reach.
One of these was the law of space. Many secret realms were actually opened by powerful beings for their descendants and disciples to train in. Entering secret realms usually required conditions, such as teleportation arrays or keys.
Meng Huai's current strength allowed her to locate the spatial points of these secret realms and teleport directly to them.
Of course, the consumption was immense, but for Meng Huai's current strength, it was negligible.
Why was Bu Zun so excited upon hearing this news, and why did Meng Huai tell Bu Zun about this secret realm?
The truth was, Meng Huai's temple was too small to accommodate a "great Buddha" like Bu Zun, and she wanted to send him away. The farther, the better, to prevent him from being a menace.
Yes, that's right. The so-called Bu Zun was actually the demon king who had caused the chaos back then. Meng Huai had used a magical artifact to draw the lightning towards the demon king, but she had recalled the artifact a little too early that day, allowing the demon king to cling to life.
However, the demon king was already mentally unstable, and his body was severely injured. After enduring the heavenly tribulation, he had forgotten his past, and his strength was reduced to only one-tenth of its original level.
When Xie Xue discovered that the demon king was not dead, he first captured him. However, he couldn't make the decision himself, so he reported it to Xie Yelin. After Meng Huai regained consciousness and saw that the demon king had genuinely lost his memory, she directly sealed his cultivation.
With his memory gone and his mind a bit fuzzy and simple, the demon king was no longer a threat with his power sealed. Meng Huai then tossed him into this branch store to extract his remaining value.
Unexpectedly, the demon king fell in love with the nutrient solution. After his memory returned, his cultivation was gone, and he had to work to pay for the nutrient solution. Otherwise, how could he afford to drink a hundred bottles a day if he had no money! He had no choice but to accept reality and continue working.
However, he had concealed the fact that his memory had recovered, but as soon as Meng Huai saw him upon arriving at the branch store, she said, "Your memory has recovered?"
The demon king truly hadn't expected to be exposed so quickly. He wondered if his acting was bad, but he hadn't even said any lines yet!
In reality, his eyes were different. While ordinary people might not notice, the ever-vigilant Meng Huai did. However, Meng Huai was also considering how to deal with the demon king. It was an accident that the heavenly tribulation hadn't killed him.
But now, as she was thinking about the secret realm, she saw that the demon king's memory had returned and immediately told him about the secret realm.
"How about I send you home?"
Meng Huai wanted to quickly get rid of this hot potato. Although the demon king craved the nutrient solution here, he wanted to go home even more!
Thus, he and Meng Huai entered into a verbal agreement: if he didn't cause trouble, Meng Huai would send him into the secret realm. He could then use the secret realm's teleportation array to return to his original place.
Therefore, Bu Zun, the demon king, had been waiting for this day. So, how could he not be excited to hear this news!
After Meng Huai gave the news to the demon king, she left. She couldn't just send the demon king to the secret realm and not take advantage of the trip. She had to make the best use of everything; that's what a businesswoman did!
So, Meng Huai was now sitting in Tang Sinian's office: "Dean Tang, what are your thoughts on the secret realm quotas?"
"Teacher Meng! I've also considered the matter of quotas. Since you said the place isn't particularly dangerous, let's let the members of this year's school team go. Ever since you all graduated, we haven't won the championship in the Interstellar Military Academy League!"
Tang Sinian thought about it and got a headache. He rubbed his temples and continued, "Let them gain some experience too!"
Meng Huai nodded, "Gaining experience is indeed good, but the secret realm still has a certain degree of danger. Please remember to explain this to them clearly."
Tang Sinian said, "Naturally."
Since they came to military school, they had an understanding of these things. Any competition, any trial, of course, involved danger.
"Then what about the broadcast?"
After discussing this matter, Tang Sinian asked about this issue again. That's right, not only would they gain experience, but military school competitions had always been broadcast live. This was a tradition and a source of income.
After all, maintaining a military school required money, and Tang Sinian, as the dean, had to look after these things.
Therefore, this time, he had his sights set on the broadcast. Watching broadcasts required spending money. Sending students to a place that star citizens had never seen or even heard of would make the broadcast very exciting.
It would be unreasonable not to make money from this!
Meng Huai pondered for a moment and said, "Broadcasting isn't impossible, but pre-planning won't work. We can only follow and film, and we need cameras with wireless internet. Otherwise, there definitely won't be any internet there, and the footage won't be able to be transmitted."
"That's not a problem!"
These issues that Meng Huai mentioned were minor problems for Tang Sinian, so he immediately made the decision.
"The academy will remember the contributions Teacher Meng has made to the school."
Yes, after graduation, Meng Huai was idle. Unlike the other four, like Zheng Yiran, she didn't go to the First Military District but was keen on opening various stores.
However, Tang Sinian extended an olive branch, and his invitation was very clever.
"You can just be an honorary teacher. Come and guide the school team members before the league every year. As for the salary, we can discuss it."
Thus, Tang Sinian offered Meng Huai a very good salary and benefits, without requiring her to be present at the school. It would be unreasonable for Meng Huai to refuse. However, as a teacher, she had to contribute something to the academy.
So, these quotas were given to the students of the Imperial Military Academy!
Moreover, Meng Huai agreed to be an honorary teacher with her own ulterior motives. She also had some ideas for the future, but she was still thinking about them.
