Chapter 91

"Stop it!!"

Yun Chong and Xia Bojian spoke in unison this time.

Yun Chong, who was dedicated to maintaining the academy, naturally did not want Chu Min to get into more trouble.

Xia Bojian, on the other hand, had his personal agenda in using the Board of Supervisors to target Chu Min. Chu Min's current offense against the Board of Supervisors suited his plans even more. However, things had gone far enough; he did not want Chu Min to be seriously injured or even kill a Board of Supervisors inspector, which would not be the outcome he desired.

Although their thoughts were different, at this moment they acted in perfect harmony, shouting and taking action simultaneously.

Xia Bojian waved his hand, sending out a finger wind that was many times stronger than the one Luo Ting had used that day. The fierce finger wind rushed into the bottom of the whirlwind that had enveloped the inspector. This collision did not completely dissipate the whirlwind, but it affected its momentum. The inspector, who had been caught in mid-air, was suddenly thrown out of the whirlwind with a whoosh.

Yun Chong also acted at this moment, darting through the air to catch the inspector and gently placing him on the ground. But just as Yun Chong let go, a whooshing sound was heard. Chu Min stopped controlling the whirlwind, and the whirlwind, struck by Xia Bojian's finger wind, suddenly spread out in all directions. The wind was so strong that it felt like heavy punches hitting everyone from all sides. Everyone struggled to maintain their footing, but the inspector, who had just been released by Yun Chong, was still in shock. The strong wind blew him over, and he landed on his buttocks.

"Ah..." Yun Chong, who had not had time to react, hurried to help him up. The inspector was completely stunned; the events of the day seemed unreal to him.

Is this Tianzhao Academy?

He looked at Yun Chong, the dean who had a "sorry" look on his face as he helped him up, and it took him a while to accept the reality.

This is Tianzhao Academy.

Of course, this is Tianzhao Academy.

The inspector regained his senses. But he did not dare to say anything harsh. He did not dare to say anything harsh to those students, to Chu Min, or to Yun Chong, who had always been kind and had the demeanor expected of a dean.

He opened his mouth, intending to say something, but after some thought, he only said to Yun Chong, "Until we meet again."

"Ah..." Yun Chong also wanted to say something, but the other party had already turned to help the two inspectors who had been knocked down by Su Tang, and then the one whose face had been swollen by Lu Ping. The four of them, supporting each other, walked out of the forest in a pitiful state.

"Ah... Are you four leaving already? Won't you stay a bit longer for a cup of tea?" Yun Chong chased after them with a pained expression, feeling both secretly pleased and frustrated.

The Board of Supervisors suffering such a setback was something the academy welcomed. But the problem was that this setback happened at his Tianzhao Academy, which was very frustrating.

The people had been beaten so badly. He still had to approach them with kindness, and Yun Chong knew he must look foolish and ridiculous. But what could he do? Xia Bojian was the one who started the trouble, and Chu Min was the one who caused it. Yun Chong had a feeling: were these two not teaming up to play with him?

"Four, four..." Yun Chong kept following, but the four did not stop, looking quite eager to leave.

"Stay a bit longer..." When he saw them off at the academy gate, Yun Chong weakly expressed his goodwill. But the four did not look back. As they left, their cloaks rolling on the ground and their disheveled backs formed a stark contrast to their arrival, so much so that Shu Laode, the gatekeeper, only realized who they were after they had walked half a street away.

"Dean, how could this happen?" Shu Laode asked in surprise, looking at Yun Chong, who was still giving them a farewell salute. He did not know much, but he at least knew that the Board of Supervisors should not leave any academy in such a pitiful state.

"Ha ha..." Yun Chong could not tell if he wanted to cry or laugh.

The Board of Supervisors left him with only four words: "Until we meet again."

He understood what these four words meant.

Even if Tianzhao Academy did not have the Soul Cutting cultivation, the Board of Supervisors would not let this matter rest. This would mean a loss of their status, which they could not tolerate.

Until we meet again...

The next meeting would likely be soon, but it would probably not be with these four ordinary inspectors. The Board of Supervisors was not without experts or capable people. The empire provided the Board of Supervisors with more than just a background or a backing. The Board of Supervisors itself had the power to suppress the academies, and Yun Chong was well aware of this, as were the deans of the major academies. In the Xuanjun Empire, the only academy that could operate without the Board of Supervisors' control was Queyue Academy, one of the four major academies.

At this moment, Yun Chong really felt the urge to leave the academy.

Xia Bojian's plot had succeeded completely, and he must have been very pleased; Chu Min, who had roughed up the Board of Supervisors, must have felt very satisfied. Only he, Yun Chong, felt like he had provoked everyone. Being a dean was truly embarrassing and disheartening!

Yun Chong's guess was correct; Xia Bojian was indeed in a very good mood. Looking at Chu Min and the four from the mountains, he no longer found them so annoying. In a way, they had actually helped him a great deal. Without the trouble they caused, he would not have had the opportunity to exploit the situation.

At this moment, Xia Bojian's smile was genuine.

But no one was paying attention to him. Lu Ping and Xi Fan were waiting for Chu Min's signal, and Chu Min immediately called out to them, "Let's go."

"Where to?" Lu Ping asked out of habit.

"Anywhere." Chu Min said, waving her hand. No one knew what technique she used, but she took off her outer robe, which had been worn for so many years that the students and teachers of Tianzhao Academy could no longer recognize it.

With a wave of her hand, the robe flew toward Xia Bojian. Xia Bojian did not want to become a clothes hanger, so he waved his hand, sending a gust of wind to carry Chu Min's robe to a tree branch.

"You... What do you mean?" Xia Bojian, who had been happy for a moment, was no longer smiling. He looked at Chu Min, who, without her robe, was wearing a very tight-fitting outfit, standing tall and proud. He instinctively took a step back, feeling as if Chu Min was about to charge at him. But deep down, he had a sense of what was happening.

"Do you want to just leave like this?" Xia Bojian said.

"Do you oppose it?" Chu Min said.

A day ago, Xia Bojian would not have opposed it and would have welcomed it. Chu Min, who drank all day and did nothing, yet occupied the position of chief scholar at Tianzhao Academy, had long been a thorn in his side. But now, he was using Chu Min to make his point, and this was the moment he least wanted Chu Min to leave, yet she was determined to go.

"You can't leave. What about the trouble you've caused?" Xia Bojian, now anxious, tried to impose a moral burden on Chu Min.

"Let them keep coming after me." Chu Min was indifferent. Her decisions were never changed by anyone. She said she was leaving, and she was leaving immediately, leaving behind the chief scholar's robe and not even going back to her residence to collect anything. She led Lu Ping and the others away directly.

Lu Ping and Xi Fan had no objections. They had come to find Chu Min, and Tianzhao Academy was just the place where they found her. They had never intended to stay. When Chu Min said to leave, they left immediately. Xi Fan wheeled himself, Lu Ping carried Mo Lin, and Su Tang, whose Soul of Strength was now connected, had enhanced perception, so she could walk steadily as long as Lu Ping held her hand.

"Stop, stop right there." Xia Bojian shouted, but no one paid attention.

"Stop her." Xia Bojian shouted again, but still no one paid attention.

He was a bit angry and turned to glare at his students, but seeing their frightened looks, he had to understand.

Even he did not dare to stop Chu Min, so it was not wrong for his students to value their lives.

As they emerged from the forest onto the sunny road, Chu Min and her group ran into Yun Chong, who had just sent off the four Board of Supervisors inspectors and was walking back dejectedly. Seeing Chu Min and noticing that she was no longer wearing the Tianzhao Academy chief scholar's robe, Yun Chong's face darkened.

"What do you mean by this?" Yun Chong said.

"So annoying, why does everyone say the same thing?" Chu Min said.

"Do you want to just leave like this?" Yun Chong said.

"Still the same."

"Don't leave."

"Why is it always the same?" Chu Min said.

Lu Ping laughed, earning a fierce glare from Yun Chong. It was all because of these kids; if they had not come to Tianzhao Academy, there would not have been so much trouble. But if they had not come, Chu Min would probably still be drinking all day and doing nothing. Thinking of this, Yun Chong's emotions became complex.

He did not want to see Chu Min so depressed, but he also did not want to see her leave like this. Although the revitalized Chu Min had left him at a loss, he had been mentally prepared for this from the day he became dean. He had even been looking forward to Chu Min causing trouble.

The Chu Min who always caused trouble was the real Chu Min.

But the real Chu Min would never leave the mess for others to clean up.

This is Chu Min, she has indeed returned.

This is Chu Min, so she is about to leave again.

"Until we meet again."

Once again, Yun Chong heard these four words. Looking back, Chu Min had already walked out of the Tianzhao Academy gate. The four students behind her, injured and strange from the Soul Cutting cultivation, looked a bit foolish but very cool.

Yun Chong suddenly had some expectations for these four country bumpkins from the mountains.

"Until we meet again." He said, to Chu Min and to these four kids.

"How could you let her go!!" Turning back, he saw Xia Bojian emerging from the forest, looking quite angry.

Yun Chong, of course, knew what Xia Bojian was upset about. He found it amusing but kept a serious expression: "Chu Min used the Soul Cutting cultivation method within the academy, so I have expelled her as a warning to others."
