“Just didn’t let you down?”
The young man smiled cunningly.
Chu Hen burst out laughing and said, “Haha, pick up on my language? Well, I have to admit that it is a surprise, a huge surprise. From now on, in the Third College and in the Cloudy Dream City, whoever dares to make trouble for you, Lin Beichen, is an enemy of me, Chu Hen. He will be going against the 130 Grade Two teachers in my Third College. You are our sweetheart, hahahaha!”
Under the surging Mystery Energy, the voice of Chu Hen was clearly heard by everyone around.
“That’s right. Lin Beichen will definitely be protected by our Third College.”
“Whoever dares to hurt Lin Beichen will be the sworn enemy of all the Grade Two teachers.”
“Hehe, I only have one sentence: If anyone dares to hurt Lin Beichen, I’ll break five legs of his.”
The teachers also shouted loudly.
The onlookers enjoying the scene were stunned.
Wait?
Lin… Lin Beichen?
Looking at the boy carefully again, they found him smiling like a thievish-looking man. “Isn’t that Lin Beichen, the ‘Street-cleaning Tiger’?”
All of a sudden, many memories rushed into their heads like an explosion.
The fear they felt when they had once been dominated by this black sheep unstoppably rushed into the hearts of many citizens.
One by one, their curious faces slowly stiffened.
At this time, Lin Beichen bowed to the teachers and thanked them. He waved to the crowd with a big smile on his face and said, “Hello, everyone, I…”
“Look, what a group of enthusiastic and kind people they are!
“Just like the teachers, they’re also here to welcome me, aren’t they?”
Lin Beichen’s heart was full of a sense of accomplishment. Suddenly, he felt that life in the alien world was not very boring.
However, the next moment—
“Ah! Help! He’s the black sheep!”
“Lin Beichen is here. Run!”
“Hurry to close the door. Women under 60 years old, hide…”
“Mom…”
In screams, hundreds of citizens, like little white rabbits, panicked and screamed, turned around, and ran away as if they had seen a big grey wolf. They only hated that their parents had given two less legs to them and disappeared with a swoosh.
A large blank space suddenly appeared on the street around the school gate.
The smile on Lin Beichen’s face froze at once.
This…
Embarrassed!
“Hoho, it seems that they have some misunderstanding about me.”
He turned his head and said with an embarrassed smile to Chu Hen and others.
Surrounded by the teachers, Lin Beichen and others disappeared in the depths of the campus.
At the same time, the “enemies” who had blocked Lin Beichen’s way around the college for dozens of days looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
The reason why they dared to besiege Lin Beichen in the past was that the Mansion of Heaven-fighting Marquis had fallen, and this black sheep was already a rat crossing the street in Cloudy Dream City. Everyone was shouting to beat him, and everyone could step on him. Even the teachers of the Third College wished they could kick him out of the school to clean up the house.
But now…
Something was wrong.
Just what had happened?
Why did teachers of the Third College suddenly cherish this black sheep who had lost his power and influence so much?
At this moment, a silver-colored ray of light suddenly soared from the Central Square in Cloudy Dream City. It could be clearly seen within dozens of li of it. After this, a voice as grand as the whisper of a god was clearly emitted from within the silver-colored light pillar. The surging sound wave covered the entire Cloudy Dream City.
“The preliminary for the Talent Battle is over, and the result has already been announced…
“The top three in Grade Three, Lin Yi, Zhou Ke’er, Ling Xuan…
“The top three in Grade Two, Ling Chen, Lin Beichen, Wang Xinyu…
“The top three in Grade One, Su Xiaoyan, Mi Ruyan, Cang Shanxue…”
The “enemies” were shocked in an instant.
“How could Lin Beichen, such a loser, be ranked in the top three in the preliminary of the Talent Battle?”
This was a glorious result that would be announced by the Temple of Lord of Swords to the entire city. He would also receive a Talent Token jointly issued by the Mansion of the City Governor, the Education Department, the Cloudy Dream Guards, and the Temple of Lord of Swords.
With this token in hand, he was like a noble of the empire, under the protection of the four great powers.
Under such a background, if they dared to hurt Lin Beichen, they would be like lighting the lanterns in the toilet—looking for shit (death).
“Retreat. Leave the Third College immediately.”
“Report to the master…”
“Bring the message back and report it to our gang boss!”
After a burst of noises like those of flying chickens and running dogs, all the forces surrounding the Third College finally retreated completely.
It was on campus.
After encouraging Lin Beichen, the other teachers all gradually dispersed.
Chu Hen took Lin Beichen to the depths of the campus and said, “The principal wants to see you.”
Principal?
In Lin Beichen’s mind, the scene of the Midyear Competition emerged. He remembered the drowsy old man sat on the VIP stage, had silver hair, and dressed in a brocade robe, but he was full of the smell of alcohol…
It was said that the principal, Ling Taixu, did not care about school affairs at all and did not care about anything around him. Instead, he spent most of his time wandering in the red-light districts and wine shops, indulging himself in women’s pink arms and lips, leading to kidney deficiency and poor spirit. Therefore, he was given the nickname of “Man of Deficiency” by the busybodies in Cloudy Dream City.
“This old guy wants to see me?
“Could it be that I, the handsome genius, finally moved the ‘Man of Deficiency’ with my outstanding performance in the preliminary and let him see the hope of reviving the Third College? Is that why he is so eager to see me and wants to work with me to create a bright future?”
Hahaha!
Lin Beichen laughed wildly in his heart.
It was moments later.
It was at the entrance of the principal’s room.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Chu Hen raised his hand and knocked on the door three times. Then he directly pushed the door open and pushed Lin Beichen in.
Bam!
The door closed quickly.
Chu Hen’s figure disappeared outside the door.
“Why do I feel like it’s a fox selling a rabbit to a tiger’s den?”
Lin Beichen felt a little strange.
The principal’s room covered an area of about 400 square meters. It was extremely large and had two huge French windows. The sun was setting, and the room looked empty and clear. To Lin Beichen’s surprise, the large bookshelf full of books in his imagination did not exist. Instead, there were rows of wine racks, and wine jars, bottles, and wine glasses on them.
Without Chu Hen’s reminder, Lin Beichen would have thought that he had come to a wine cellar.
A light fragrance of rose petals, as well as a clear but not pungent alcohol smell, filled the air, making people relaxed as soon as they entered the room.
A slight snore came from the depths of the wine racks.
Lin Beichen bypassed 10 rows of wine racks and saw…
A bed.
Lying on the bed was Ling Taixu, the “Man of Deficiency”, who was sleeping soundly in his pink pajamas, with a voluptuous young woman in his arms.
