Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Thousands of teachers and students had gathered together to listen to Professor Guo’s lecture. The initial atmosphere of learning and scholarly discourse was interrupted by this scene before their eyes right now.

All the students stared at Department Head Zhao, who was covered in blood, in great shock and began making a racket. After Guo Huaimin asked them to quiet down, he spoke up, “Principal Tan, it seems some incident has occurred on your premises. ”

Tan Lan replied, “It’s just a small incident. It’s no big deal.”

Guo Huaimin shook his head and said with a slight smile, “This incident here is important. It doesn’t matter if the lecture is delayed for a while.” His every action reflected a refined and easy-going temperament.

Tan Lan expressed his apologies. Following that, he turned around and a stern look swept over his face. He summoned all the teachers in the school and headed to the dormitory building at once.

He wanted to see who this almighty being was who had the guts to barge into the Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School to cause trouble.

In just a few moments, the dormitory building was surrounded by teachers from the Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School. Every single one had a stern look, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

“Principal Tan, save me!” When they saw Tan Lan rushing here, Song Guo and the others who were trapped shouted for help, their eyes filled with wild jubilation. Then, they turned their heads and gloated smugly at Lu Yu, with an expression that implied that Lu Yu was done for.

Zheng Xiaochuan couldn’t take it anymore. He gave another kick to those teachers lying on the floor and wretched wails erupted again. Tan Lan’s face darkened ominously as the wailing assaulted his ears. Despite Tan Lan making the effort to come in person, these few thugs still had the guts to assault the teachers of Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School in his presence. They had totally no respect for him at all.

Seeing that the main character had finally shown up, Lu Yu stepped forward.

He sized up Tan Lan and said, ‘You are the principal of this school?”

Tan Lan also sized up Lu Yu and replied, “Your Lordship, this is a school, a place to teach and educate people, and a place to nurture talents for Flame Country. This is not a place for you to act in such a reckless fashion.”

Lu Yu shook his head with a disdainful smirk. To think that this guy still had the audacity to utter the words ‘ teach and educate people’. It was such a great irony.

“So the Principal still knows that this is a place to teach and educate people. I almost thought that it was a place that fostered deceit and evil.” Lu Yu mocked him unmercifully.

Tan Lan exploded in anger at once. He was not here to engage in lengthy discourse with Lu Yu. Immediatelv. he shouted in an icv tone. “I advise vou to release Teacher Song and the others and ask for leniency. Otherwise, you have to bear the consequences yourself!”

The corners of Lu Yu’s mouth curled up in a scornful smirk. He was really interested to see what consequences he had to bear. The moment he entered the Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School, he had activated the Illusionary Realm Kingdom. The whole school was in his illusionary realm and even the movement of a single blade of grass could not escape his eyes.

Except for Guo Huaimin who was at Great Grand Master Grade 9, there was no one who could pose the slightest threat to him.

In other words, he could manipulate the whole school in the palm of his hand easily if he wanted to.

“Hehe… Principal Tan, you are really impressive. It has certainly opened my eyes.” Just then, Zheng Xiaochuan stepped forward and mocked him in an ironic manner.

Tan Lan, who was about to order Lu Yu to be executed directly on the spot, widened his eyes in complete disbelief the moment he saw Zheng Xiaochuan. He stammered, “Young… Young Master Zheng, how come you’re here?” Zheng Xiaochuan answered in an icy tone, “Why? Am I not supposed to be here?”

Tan Lan’s arrogant demeanor was instantly restrained. When the grandmother of the Zheng family celebrated her 100th birthday, all the rich and famous in the capital showed up for the occasion. He was also fortunate enough to be invited and got the chance to meet Zheng Xiaochuan.

The Zheng family might not be the most prominent family in the capital but they were still an entity he should not mess with either. With Zheng Xiaochuan’s presence here, he did not dare to do anything reckless.

“You pampered youngster, how was I to know you were here? It’s all that damned Zhao Jie’s fault for not explaining the situation clearly. When I go back, I’m going to dismiss him from his post,” Tan Lan thought.

His mind raced to think of something. Soon, Tan Lan said, “I wonder in what way have I offended Young Master Zheng? I implore you to elaborate on the details. ”

When he used such an aggrieved tone and lowered his posture to such an extent, making himself out as the victim, even Lu Yu had to admire Tan Lan’s ability to adapt.

Zheng Xiaochuan was a youngster and did not think so much. He said frankly, “My friend and I came to visit another friend at school. Initially, I wanted to see the teaching atmosphere of the Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School, but to my surprise, I saw something that gave me great insight.”

Zheng Xiaochuan’s righteous indignation rose when he and Lu Yu saw how Jiang Jun was being bullied and abused by his colleagues in the school. He and Lu Yu could not take it, but these teachers joined forces to fight against them. In the end, Zheng Xiaochuan and Lu Yu were even maligned and falsely accused to have come to the school to cause trouble.

As Zheng Xiaochuan recounted every single event, that female teacher’s whole body trembled in fright so much that her internal organs almost popped out.

The female teacher’s colleagues were already paralyzed with fear, their faces ashen white.

Who would have thought that Jiang Jun had such connections and was acquainted with the young master of the Zheng family? If they had known, they would not have dared to do such things even if they had been given a hundred balls.

And Jiang Jun was utterly dumbfounded. He also did not expect that the young man who followed Lu Yu would turn out to be the young master of the Zheng family.

“If it weren’t for my friend’s great strength, if I weren’t the young master of the Zheng family, I’m afraid we would have turned into corpses by now and thrown casually in some unmarked common grave to feed the stray dogs. Is that right, Principal Tan?” Zheng Xiaochuan said menacingly.

Tan Lan was already too scared to breathe. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he stood rooted to the same spot, not knowing whether to go forward or move backward.

Zheng Xiaochuan added, “So, Principal Tan, we should be the victims in this matter. If you don’t give us a satisfactory resolution, it is really not acceptable.”

Tan Lan nodded like a chick pecking rice. “Definitely. I will definitely give you a satisfactory resolution. ”

This school was his whole life’s work. He did not want to lose everything simply because he offended Zheng Xiaochuan.

Seeing Tan Lan bowing and fawning in front of Zheng Xiaochuan, the female teacher and the others knew that they were likely to be abandoned by Tan Lan. Realizing that they could lose their rice bowls, they became so scared that they hurriedly knelt in front of Lu Yu, begging for forgiveness. “It is my fault, all my fault. Your lordship, please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against us.

Please forgive us.”

Lu Yu looked on indifferently all the while and said icily, “You have the wrong person. The right person is Jiang Jun.”

The female teacher and the other people immediately turned around and knelt in front of Jiang Jun begging for mercy, saying all kinds of nice words like they were colleagues, and they promised not to offend again etc.

After Lu Yu heard them, he thought the whole situation was laughable. All along, these guys believed that what Jiang Jun suffered was what he deserved.

Now they were begging for mercy, but it was only to save their own rice bowls.

Otherwise, they would not have started out begging for mercy from Lu Yu. This was a clear indication of fear of the strong!

Looking at the kneeling female teacher and other people begging for mercy, Jiang Jun was moved by compassion. These people were his colleagues and he did not want to have an acrimonious falling-out with them..
