Chapter 90

Xia Bojian, being a wise man, had already foreseen that the identities of Lu Ping and the others would be a barrier before the College Supervisory Committee when he started planning this. Therefore, he did not intend to use the College Supervisory Committee to do anything to Lu Ping and the others.

By using the College Supervisory Committee, his target was Chu Min, and through Chu Min, he aimed to take down Yun Chong.

Once he achieved this two-pronged victory and became the Dean, wouldn't it be easy to deal with these four students afterward?

He never expected that such a smooth plan would encounter resistance in this way, and the other party would actually... resort to cheating.

The characteristics of Zhanpo cultivation were obvious and could be seen at a glance. There was no way to cheat about this. Xia Bojian was momentarily careless and did not expect the other party to actually cheat on their relationship with Chu Min, even trying to sever ties with her.

Xia Bojian carefully sensed the current state of Su Tang and Mo Lin, and found no connection to Chu Min.

However, the College Supervisory Committee's inspector had no such patience. Such an obvious and clumsy lie was a complete disregard for them. When had the College Supervisory Committee ever been insulted in the college like this? Not only had they been hit, but they were also being treated like fools.

"Can you even use Zhanpo?" The inspector, though angry, still chose the right point of attack. Zhanpo was not just a cultivation method; before it became a cultivation method, it was a special ability, a special ability that could also be used in battle. Similar to the "Soul Lock" that Lu Ping had experienced, Zhanpo also belonged to the custom-made category, and its rating was not low, reaching level five.

Zhanpo was not something that could be used at will; one had to be a cultivator who mastered this special ability. None of the four, including Lu Ping, had such conditions. Saying that they used Zhanpo for cultivation was absolutely unreasonable.

"Uh, of course, someone did guide us," Lu Ping said.

"Who?" The inspector pressed.

"Can't say?" Lu Ping asked.

"Of course, you can choose not to say, but the College Supervisory Committee will thoroughly investigate this matter. I'd like to see who among you and the other three kids has a harder mouth," the inspector's eyes revealed a hint of madness. His threat was not empty. Using forbidden methods for cultivation was no small matter. It could be used as an opportunity to make a big fuss, and it wouldn't be a problem to ruin a few students. Even if these students were not from the Zhiling District College Supervisory Committee, for such a major issue, they could still intervene and take charge, and they would still have a valid reason. The City Lord's Mansion of Xiagong District wouldn't really take this issue seriously enough to confront the Zhiling District College Supervisory Committee, would they?

As for the goal Xia Bojian wanted to achieve, it was already secondary to him. However, Xia Bojian was extremely satisfied with the current situation. He was worried that the College Supervisory Committee would find the matter troublesome and hand it over to the Xiagong District or handle it perfunctorily. But the violent fight by Lu Ping and the others, followed by their clumsy lies, had clearly enraged the College Supervisory Committee. Even if Xia Bojian wanted them to back off now, they might not listen.

This was even better than what Xia Bojian had expected. The College Supervisory Committee's insistence on a thorough investigation would ultimately lead to Chu Min, because that was the truth, an unchangeable fact. They couldn't really think that such a lie could cover up the matter; the world wasn't that naive. These kids were completely asking for trouble.

A smile appeared on Xia Bojian's face, a smile of everything being under control. At this moment, a breeze blew through the forest, bringing with it the scent of alcohol, and Chu Min suddenly appeared.

Xia Bojian quickly spoke, preempting anyone else, as this was part of his plan.

"Chu Min, did you use Zhanpo on them?" Xia Bojian shouted.

It was a simple and direct question. This time, Xia Bojian seemed a bit naive; could such a direct inquiry yield a satisfactory answer?

The College Supervisory Committee's people did not expect it, but Yun Chong was already inwardly alarmed.

Xia Bojian's direct question seemed one-sided, but it was actually well thought out. He had a good grasp of Chu Min's personality. When had Chu Min ever cared about the college's rules? Would she fear the threats of the College Supervisory Committee?

No, she wouldn't. With her temperament, she would not be afraid to admit what she had done, whether good or bad. Regardless of the consequences, she had the courage to bear them.

Xia Bojian saw this clearly, so he asked directly. As long as Chu Min casually answered "yes," the matter would be easily settled, that simple.

"Lu Ping quickly answered Xia Bojian, repeating what he had said before, his tone becoming even more determined. But Xia Bojian was not bothered. Would Chu Min need this kid's protection? Kicking him away would probably be her next move.

To Xia Bojian's surprise, Chu Min did not kick Lu Ping away, nor did she speak immediately. Instead, she looked at Lu Ping with surprise.

This kid actually wanted to protect her?

Chu Min didn't think she needed any protection, just as Xia Bojian had thought. If someone asked, she would admit it without hesitation, not taking it seriously.

But Chu Min had seen Lu Ping's determination and resolve when he protected Su Tang, and now he was applying that same determination and resolve to her.

Although Chu Min thought it was unnecessary, she couldn't refuse this determination and resolve.

"Chu Min, is that so?" Xia Bojian asked, with a confident expression.

"Uh..." The straightforward Chu Min actually hesitated for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Sure, if you say so!"

Sure, if you say so!

What kind of answer was this? On the surface, she acknowledged Lu Ping's statement, but there was a hint of reluctance and awkwardness.

But this was Chu Min's answer.

She accepted Lu Ping's protection, but she felt reluctant and awkward about it, which immediately showed in her words. Chu Min was still Chu Min, as blunt as ever.

Xia Bojian and Yun Chong were stunned. For those who knew Chu Min a bit, this answer was simply unbelievable. They almost thought they had heard wrong, and Yun Chong even used his sound transmission to secretly send a message to Chu Min: "Really?"

Lu Ping, after getting this answer from Chu Min, took two steps forward, placing Chu Min behind him, making his protective stance even more obvious.

"Is that so?" The College Supervisory Committee's inspector sneered. He clearly did not understand how different Chu Min's behavior was. To him, "Sure, if you say so" was just as arrogant and defiant, just as disrespectful, like saying "the air is good."

"Although you say that, I still have to suspect, as a Zhiling District College Supervisory Committee inspector, that you used 'Zhanpo' to assist the students in their cultivation. Please come with us to assist in the investigation," the inspector showed his badge to Chu Min again. He knew Chu Min was much stronger than those kids, but no matter how strong she was, she was still a mentor at Tianzhao College. Before the College Supervisory Committee, she had to yield.

But Yun Chong was already sighing and shaking his head.

He, the Dean, was easy to bully, but Chu Min... did you really think showing your College Supervisory Committee badge would do anything? Even if the President of the College Supervisory Committee came, it wouldn't work!

"Oh? Zhanpo?" Chu Min responded.

"Your suspicion is reasonable. I can勉强 use Zhanpo, but whether it can be used for cultivation indeed needs to be investigated." As she spoke, the wind picked up.

A localized strong wind.

The inspector's feet were suddenly off the ground, his cloak flapping in the wind, his hair and even his eyebrows dancing wildly, his face distorted.

"You... want... to... do... what?" In the strong wind, it was already extremely difficult for his distorted mouth to speak. His hands and feet were also immobilized in mid-air, unable to move.

"I will assist you in investigating my Zhanpo. I hope you cooperate and don't resist recklessly, or I might lose control, and that wouldn't be good," Chu Min said, raising her right hand. A light-like, shadow-like soul force gradually appeared in her right hand.

Zhanpo was not just a cultivation ability. In its original creation, it was an extremely cruel combat method. Those whose soul force was cut by Zhanpo would rather be dead than alive.
