“Master Bai, please.”
Under the guidance of Qin Lanshu, the pair of master and disciple slowly walked into the central yard.
“But I don’t know why I didn’t see the Master of the Ling Manor.”
Bai Haiqin walked slowly as he asked casually.
Qin Lanshu said with a smile, “Something happened to my daughter in the college. My husband went to deal with it and will come back soon. He will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight to welcome the master and his disciple.”
Cao Potian, the golden-haired teenager, couldn’t help but ask, “At the dinner party, will Miss Ling Chen also show up?”
Qin Lanshu turned her head slightly and looked at the young man who was in high spirits and showed his sharpness, but she didn’t say anything.
For some reason, when he was looked at by this beautiful woman who did not seem to have any martial cultivation, Cao Potian’s heart suddenly trembled, as if he were a child who had done something wrong and was discovered. He subconsciously explained. “It was Senior Brother Wei who asked me to say hello to his fiancée, Miss Ling Chen. There’s a gift that Senior Brother Wei has carefully prepared, and I have to personally hand it over to Miss Ling Chen.”
Qin Lanshu turned around and did not answer.
Bai Haiqin came to the main hall as if he had not seen this scene. He sat in the main seat and took a cup of tea from the maid. He took a shallow breath and frowned slightly. With a slight disgust, he put down the cup and asked, “Madam Qin, this time, I brought Tian’er to Cloudy Dream City. Apart from completing the three-year promise with an old friend, I still want to pay respects to Old Master Ling. I wonder if Old Master Ling has time.”
Qin Lanshu said with a smile, “My father-in-law hasn’t been in the mansion these days. I’ll send someone to ask… By the way, is the old friend you mentioned, Mr. Ding of the Third College?”
Bai Haiqin replied. “Yes.”
This was not a secret.
After all, three years ago, many of the nobles in Cloudy Dream City were aware of what had happened on the night of the sword test.
Qin Lanshu said tentatively, “On the night of the sword test, why don’t we set it in the Mansion of the City Governor again?”
Bai Haiqin nodded. “That’s fine. Since that’s the case, I’ll still have to act according to the rules of the last time. Please help me send out the 36 invitations. The time is set for 10 days from now, on a full-moon night.”
“So, do we have to make it public this time too?”
Qin Lanshu frowned inconspicuously.
Bai Haiqin said blandly, “There’s nothing small in Baiyun City.”
The setting sun was still shining.
The setting sun was like blood.
It was at the Third Provincial Junior College.
It was at the school gate.
Almost a hundred college teachers appeared at the same time.
They lined up on both sides of the school gate, dressed in uniform teachers’ uniforms, talking with smiles and expectations. They looked into the distance, as if they were waiting for the arrival of a big shot.
As one of the seven colleges in Cloudy Dream City, although its glory had disappeared in recent years, and it was no greater than other colleges, however, the North Sea Empire had always attached great importance to education, and the college was a martial school, so its influence in the city was not low.
There were so many teachers gathered together, and they were still a force that could not be ignored.
“What’s going on? This formation is a little grand.”
“There are so many teachers, and all of them are experts. Who are they waiting for?”
“Is a person with real power in the Education Department coming to inspect?”
Many citizens around the school gate and pedestrians saw this scene and were quite surprised. They also gathered around and were pointing their fingers with anticipation while discussing in a low voice. They were very curious.
And those “enemies”, who had surrounded the school for more than 10 days in order to deal with the black sheep Lin Beichen, had restrained themselves a lot.
“You all have to be smart. Step back a little and don’t run into the big shots.”
“Remember, we are dealing with Lin Beichen, not the Third College. We can’t afford to offend these teachers.”
“Have you seen the person in the front wearing a cyan robe? Don’t provoke him. He is Chu Hen, the grade dean of the Grade Two in the Third College. His nickname is ‘Poison Yama’. He is a ruthless character. He is the best at protecting his own students. Even when you see him, you should avoid him.”
Some gang members who took the lead to besiege Lin Beichen around the college, the heads of the college guards, the captains of the mercenaries, and others were busy telling their subordinates not to be impulsive or do anything to offend this group of teachers at this time.
However, who were these martial arts teachers waiting for?
As time went by, people’s curiosity grew stronger and stronger.
Suddenly—
“He’s here. He’s almost here. He’s already at the city gate.”
The sound of hoofbeats could be heard.
The young teacher riding the horse cheered loudly from far away.
The smile on Chu Hen’s face burst out in an instant. He looked back at the teachers in the line and said, “Everyone, get ready…”
It was moments later.
The college’s carriage, which was driven by a speeding beast, finally came from the distance on the Third Main Road.
Countless pairs of eyes fell on the carriage.
“Who could it be?”
“Where did the big shot in the carriage come from?”
“It seems that the college carriage of the Third College has picked them up.”
“The driver is a college teacher…”
There was another round of surprise and expectant discussions in the crowd. After they had waited for half an hour, many people’s curiosity was raised to its peak.
The carriage stopped at the school gate.
The teachers in line immediately began to give a round of thunderous applause.
Chu Hen laughed loudly and stepped forward, saying, “Haha, the hero who came here with glory has finally come back.”
The door of the carriage opened.
Wu Xiaofang was the first one to jump out.
He, with a bloody nose and a swollen face, obviously had just been beaten up. He rushed out as if he were running away, as if there were a devil eating people in the carriage…
This made the crowd, who were staring at the carriage door, stunned for a while.
What was going on?
Then, Mu Xinyue walked out.
The Civilian Goddess was indeed very good-looking. Although she looked a little haggard at this time, as if she had just cried, she still made many people’s eyes light up.
It’s just the next moment, under the sound of consternation, the citizens were surprised to see Chu Hen pulling Wu Xiaofang and Mu Xinyue aside casually like pulling garbage. His eyes didn’t rest on the two people, not even for a moment.
Then another man came out of the carriage.
The delicate and lovely young girl named Yue Hongxiang, who was a classical scholar.
This time, Chu Hen didn’t ignore her anymore. Instead, he stepped forward and patted Yue Hongxiang’s shoulder. He said, “It’s been hard on you, Yue Hongxiang. The college will remember the glory you’ve won for us.”
Could it be that this girl was the one so many teachers were waiting in line for?
A curious idea arose in many citizens’ minds.
Who was she?
But the next moment, another figure came out of the carriage.
It was a young man.
In an instant, the teachers’ applause suddenly raised several tones, as if it suddenly turned from a tiny stream to a bursting flash flood or mudslide. Along with it, there were also all kinds of cheers.
“Ha ha ha, you brat, you didn’t let me down.”
Chu Hen rushed up and directly hugged the young man, as if he had seen his son who had gone missing for many years.
