Chapter 356: Chapter 357: Settling Affairs? What Affairs? (Part 2)
Feeling that Shen Ran made some sense, the Dean nodded, then suddenly, as if coming to a realization, he glared viciously at Shen Ran, “Are you saying she was buttering me up? You actually dare say she was brown-nosing! That girl clearly came to Central State Academy after hearing of my great name. When she said those words, her expression was sincere. How could she be brown-nosing?”
Thinking of Moon Venerate already knowing about his great name, the Dean couldn’t have been more pleased with himself; nothing could make him happier than today.
“Shen Ran, you can roll back to your Alchemy Hall now. Take good care of that girl, and if anyone dares to bully her, just wipe them out for me.”
Having said this, the Dean proudly lifted his head and walked forward.
Shen Ran was speechless. To be so narcissistic, how could one not admire it?
He sighed and turned to head towards the Alchemy Hall…
However, as soon as Shen Ran had set foot through the threshold, he saw the elder sitting on a chair with an ashen face waiting for him, and couldn’t help but pause, “Wu Yi, what are you doing here?”
“What am I doing here?” Wu Yi snorted coldly, “Shen Ran, don’t you know that the Disciple from your Alchemy Hall named Mu Ruyue had her Demon Beast maim Mo Li?”
“Mo Li, maimed?” Shen Ran was taken aback, then suddenly burst into great laughter, “That bastard Mo Li got maimed? Haha, this really is delightful news!”
“Shen Ran!”
Bang!
Wu Yi’s heavy hand slammed down on the table, his cold gaze fixed on Shen Ran’s gleeful face, “What do you mean by that? Your Disciple injured the steward within my Martial Hall. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
“An explanation? What explanation?” Shen Ran sneered, “Firstly, Mo Li was originally a person from my Alchemy Hall, but you picked him up for your Martial Hall. Out of respect for you, Wu Yi, I didn’t want to quibble, but have you heard the saying, ‘you won’t die if you don’t seek death’? He brought this fate upon himself by doing just that. Secondly, the Dean just issued an order, so Mo Li, you can’t protect him any longer.”
“The Dean?” Wu Yi’s complexion changed, “What does this have to do with the Dean?”
Shen Ran spread his hands and chuckled, “How should I know? It’s probably something Mo Li did that provoked the Dean, and that’s why the Dean issued this order. Oh, right, what’s the name of your Disciple again? Lin Ruoying, isn’t it? She’d better restrain herself a bit too, lest she thinks everyone in the Academy revolves around her.”
“Shen Ran, what do you mean by that?” Wu Yi squinted slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, “Ruoying is good-natured, when has she ever crossed you? Our personal grudges can directly involve me, and have nothing to do with her.”
Wu Yi truly cherished his disciple, treating her like his own daughter. How could he allow others to trample on her?
Shen Ran curled his lip, “Whatever you think I mean, that’s what I mean. Honestly, I just don’t like Lin Ruoying. If your Martial Hall provokes me again, from now on, the Alchemy Hall will stop providing Elixirs to the disciples of the Martial Hall. You think you’re so powerful? Then find your own solutions.”
Wu Yi’s face suddenly darkened. He had long held a grudge against Shen Ran but had never dared to turn against him out of this very concern. If the supply of Elixirs for Martial Hall was cut off, the disciples’ breakthroughs would no longer be so swift.
“Shen Ran, you’re settling personal scores. Aren’t you afraid the Dean will remove you from your position and punish you?”
