Chapter 75

"Hey, hey, you still have important matters to attend to? Do you think you're someone special? A national leader? Tell me, what kind of important matters could you have that you can't even take the time to call home and school?"

Lu Xiaoyao angrily placed the lesson plan on the table and pulled a chair to sit down. Since Li Yi was very tall, he stood even taller beside her, so she had to raise her chin and glare at him with her beautiful eyes.

Tong Gexiao wanted to plead for Li Yi, but seeing that Lu Xiaoyao was in a bad mood, she could only wink at Li Yi, signaling him not to speak.

But Li Yi seemed to completely ignore Tong Gexiao's hint and continued calmly, "It was indeed a very important matter, but it's quite complicated to explain. If you want to hear it, Miss Luo, I can tell you."

"Go on," Lu Xiaoyao said, trying to be patient.

"It's like this. Thirty years ago, my grandfather fled abroad and lost contact with our family. No one knew he had become wealthy. But last week, his assistant found me and said my grandfather was critically ill and wanted me to inherit his estate. At first, I thought they were scammers and refused to go with them, but they forcibly put me on a plane and took me abroad. In the struggle, my phone fell, so I couldn't call home or school..."

As Li Yi explained, Lu Xiaoyao's face grew colder and colder. Finally, she couldn't help but slap the table and say, "Li Yi, you're getting more and more out of line. Are you telling me a novel?"

"I think it's a Korean drama," Tong Gexiao interjected.

"Ha ha." Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but laugh at Tong Gexiao's comment. Then she immediately realized this wasn't a time to laugh and gave Tong Gexiao a reproachful look, continuing to glare at Li Yi.

"Miss Luo, reality is always stranger than fiction. If you don't believe me, you can call my mother; she will explain it to you," Li Yi said calmly.

In Lu Xiaoyao's eyes, Li Yi was a problem student, so nothing he said was credible. But if Lin Ruyu explained it, there would be no issue. Parents always have the final say, and the homeroom teacher couldn't investigate further.

"Do I need to tell you? I'll call your mother right now!" Lu Xiaoyao flipped through the parent contact book and said angrily, "You and Li Ting are from the same mother, yet why is there such a big difference? She's in the top five of the school, and you? You're in the bottom five..."

Li Yi listened quietly to Lu Xiaoyao's complaints without any expression. For a former emperor of the universe, Lu Xiaoyao's anger was trivial and not worth his attention.

Seeing Li Yi's indifferent attitude, Lu Xiaoyao became even angrier. But when Lin Ruyu answered the phone, her tone became very calm.

"Is this Li Yi's mother? I'm Li Yi's homeroom teacher, Miss Luo. Yes, I'm calling about your son's absence last week... Hmm?"

After listening to Lin Ruyu's explanation, Lu Xiaoyao felt her anger had nowhere to go. Was there a more bizarre reason for skipping school than "being taken away by relatives abroad"? It was too strange!

At this moment, other teachers also returned to the office.

The first to enter was the homeroom teacher of Class 2, Fei Rui'an. He was a young male teacher who taught physics to Classes 1 to 4. Like Lu Xiaoyao, he was a graduate of the Normal University last year. Because of his delicate appearance and soft voice, he was nicknamed "Soft Rice Fei."

Following Fei Rui'an was the Chinese teacher of Classes 3 and 4, Wang Xueming. He was a man in his thirties who was known for extending class time, earning him the nickname "Class Extender Wang."

"Trouble again, huh?" Fei Rui'an saw Li Yi standing in front of Lu Xiaoyao and immediately glared at him.

Fei Rui'an and Lu Xiaoyao graduated and joined the school at the same time. He had always admired the young and beautiful Lu Xiaoyao. Whenever she scolded students, he liked to join in, but Lu Xiaoyao found his behavior very annoying.

"Li Yi, I haven't seen you for over a week?" Class Extender Wang, seeing Li Yi become the center of attention, chimed in.

"This kid has been absent for at least half a week. He should be given a major demerit! Miss Luo, you shouldn't indulge such students!" Fei Rui'an said loudly.

Lu Xiaoyao frowned but didn't respond to Fei Rui'an. She was the type who was strict in words but soft in heart, always believing that all students could be educated. She couldn't bring herself to give Li Yi a major demerit and record it in his file.

Lu Xiaoyao said sternly, "Li Yi, even if your reason is valid, skipping school is still wrong. Do you know how many classes you've missed this semester? You must write a self-criticism, make a public apology in class, and write a pledge to me, promising never to skip school again. Otherwise, I will have to take strict action."

Li Yi said calmly, "Punishing students who violate rules is your right, and I have no objection. But I won't write a self-criticism or a pledge. I believe this was an accident, and I can't guarantee that I won't skip school again."

The current Li Yi wasn't in a student mindset and wouldn't follow the school's rules. Making a former emperor who managed millions of dimensions write a self-criticism and a pledge, and make a public apology in class, was simply impossible.

"Hey, you're getting cocky!" Soft Rice Fei, seeing Li Yi talk back to Lu Xiaoyao, felt it was time to show his manliness. He stood up and pointed at Li Yi's nose, saying, "This is only Miss Luo. If you were in my class, I would have already hit you!"

Li Yi didn't even look at Fei Rui'an and said, "You're just that level."

"What did you say?" Fei Rui'an didn't expect Li Yi to talk back to him and reached out to push Li Yi. He always liked to add a bit of physical action when scolding students, and everyone in the office knew this.

"Teacher Fei, don't..." Lu Xiaoyao hurriedly stood up to stop Fei Rui'an's rough behavior, but it was too late. The other teachers, including Class Extender Wang, watched with amusement, ready to see the show.

What happened next was shocking. Fei Rui'an's push didn't hit Li Yi but was caught by Li Yi's hand!

Fei Rui'an struggled, but Li Yi's grip was like an iron clamp, and he couldn't break free. In a panic, he made a fist with his other hand and tried to hit Li Yi, but Li Yi caught that hand as well without changing his position!

Seeing Fei Rui'an, who was over 1.7 meters tall, struggling like a weak child with both wrists held by Li Yi, Tong Gexiao couldn't help but laugh.

This student was indeed a martial arts expert, too strong!

Lu Xiaoyao, Class Extender Wang, and the other teachers stared with wide eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing. Fei Rui'an, though delicate, was still a man. How could he be held by a student and unable to break free?

How weak was that?

Fei Rui'an's face turned red with anger, and he shouted, "Let go! Let go!"

"Teacher Fei, don't touch students so easily; it's unprofessional," Li Yi said kindly, then released his hands.

Fei Rui'an was trying to pull back, but when Li Yi suddenly let go, he lost his balance, took two steps back, and fell on his butt in the office!

Seeing Fei Ruian fall, all the teachers wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. It was one thing for a teacher to scold a student, but falling to the ground was too embarrassing!

This joke would definitely make the students laugh until graduation!

Liu Tian, standing at the door, nervously scratched his head.

Students fighting with teachers and making them fall to the ground was a proud moment for rebellious students, but not today. He was about to be scolded, and if Soft Rice Fei took it out on him, he would suffer unjustly!
