Chapter 84

"Is it just that you're not disappointed?"

The boy grinned slyly.

Chu Heng laughed heartily: "Haha, you're nitpicking my words? Alright, I have to admit, it's a surprise, a huge surprise. From now on, in this Third Academy, in this Yunmeng City, whoever dares to make things difficult for you, Lin Beichen, will be crossing me, Chu Heng. They will be crossing the 130 instructors of the Second Year of the Third Academy. You are our precious treasure, our heart's delight, hahaha!"

Under the stimulation of the mystic energy, Chu Heng's voice was clearly heard by everyone around.

"Not bad, we, the Third Academy, will protect Lin Beichen."

"Whoever dares to touch Lin Beichen will be the sworn enemy of all the Second Year instructors."

"Hehe, I only have one thing to say: whoever dares to touch Lin Beichen, I'll break their five legs."

The instructors also spoke loudly.

The onlookers around were stunned for a moment.

Wait a minute?

Lin... Lin Beichen?

Looking more closely at the boy, the sly and cunning smile was none other than that of "Street Sweeper Tiger" Lin Beichen.

Suddenly, a flood of memories burst into their minds.

The fear once dominated by this wastrel surged back into the hearts of many citizens.

The faces that were originally filled with curiosity gradually froze.

At this moment, Lin Beichen bowed to the instructors in gratitude and waved to the crowd with a smile: "Hello everyone, I..."

Look, what a group of warm and kind people.

They must be here to welcome me, just like the instructors.

Lin Beichen thought, feeling a sense of achievement, and suddenly felt that life in this world wasn't so boring after all.

But the next moment—

"Ahhh, help, it's that wastrel."

"Lin Beichen is here, run!"

"Hurry, close the doors, women under sixty hide..."

"Mom..."

In the screams, hundreds of onlookers, like rabbits seeing a wolf, panicked and fled, wishing they had two more legs, and disappeared in a flash.

The streets around the school gates were suddenly empty.

Lin Beichen's smile froze.

This...

...

Embarrassing!

"Hehe, it seems everyone still has some misunderstandings about me."

He turned to Chu Heng and the others with an awkward smile.

Surrounded by the instructors, Lin Beichen and the others disappeared into the depths of the campus.

At the same time, those who had been surrounding Lin Beichen for dozens of days, the "enemies," looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

They had dared to surround Lin Beichen before because the House of Zhan Tian had fallen, and this wastrel had become a rat everyone wanted to beat in Yunmeng City. Even the instructors of the Third Academy wanted to expel him and clean the school's reputation.

But now...

The situation seemed a bit off.

What exactly happened?

Why did the instructors of the Third Academy suddenly value this fallen wastrel so much?

At this moment, a brilliant silver light shot up from the central square of Yunmeng City, visible for dozens of miles around. Then, a grand, god-like voice echoed clearly from the silver light, covering the entire Yunmeng City.

"The preliminary round of the Heavenly Pride Competition has ended, and the rankings are out..."

"The top three of the Third Year: Lin Yi, Zhou Ke'er, Ling Xuan..."

"The top three of the Second Year: Lin Chen, Lin Beichen, Wang Xinyu..."

"The top three of the First Year: Su Xiaoyan, Mi Ruyan, Cang Shanxue..."

The "enemies" were instantly shocked.

Lin Beichen, this scum, actually placed in the top three in the preliminary round of the Heavenly Pride Competition?

This was a glorious achievement announced by the Temple of the Lord of Swords to the entire city, and he would receive the Heavenly Pride Token jointly issued by the City Lord's Mansion, the Education Bureau, the Yunmeng Guard, and the Temple of the Lord of Swords.

With this token in hand, he would be treated like an imperial noble, protected by the four major powers.

In such a situation, if they still dared to harm Lin Beichen, it would be like lighting a lantern in a toilet—asking for death (shit).

"Retreat, leave the Third Academy immediately."

"Go back and report to the master..."

"Bring the news back and tell the boss!"

After a chaotic commotion, the various forces surrounding the Third Academy finally dispersed completely.

...

In the

campus.

After encouraging Lin Beichen, the other instructors gradually dispersed.

Chu Heng led Lin Beichen deeper into the campus and said, "The principal wants to see you."

The principal?

In Lin Beichen's mind, the image of the old man with silver hair, wearing a brocade robe, but reeking of alcohol and half-asleep, who sat on the VIP platform during the mid-year competition, appeared...

He had heard that this principal, Ling Taixu, had no interest in school affairs and was indifferent to everything around him. Instead, he spent his days in the pleasure quarters, indulging in women and alcohol, leading to kidney deficiency and poor health, earning him the nickname "Taixu Zi" among the gossips of Yunmeng City.

This old man actually wants to see me?

Could it be that my outstanding performance in the preliminary round finally moved "Taixu Zi," giving him hope to revitalize the Third Academy, so he wants to see me urgently, to write with me and create a beautiful future?

Hahaha!

Lin Beichen laughed wildly in his heart.

A moment later.

At the principal's door.

Knock, knock, knock!

Chu Heng knocked three times, then pushed the door open and pushed Lin Beichen inside.

Bang!

The door closed quickly.

Chu Heng's figure disappeared outside the door.

"How does this feel like a scene where the fox delivers the rabbit to the tiger's den?"

Lin Beichen felt a bit strange.

The principal's office was about 400 square meters, extremely large. Two huge floor-to-ceiling windows made the room spacious and bright even as the sun set. To Lin Beichen's surprise, there were no large bookshelves filled with various books as he had imagined. Instead, there were rows of wine racks, and on them were densely packed wine jars, bottles, and glasses.

If Chu Heng hadn't mentioned it, Lin Beichen would have thought he had entered a wine cellar.

A faint scent of rose petals and a clear but not overpowering aroma of alcohol filled the air, making one feel relaxed the moment they entered the room.

A slight snore came from deep within the wine racks.

Lin Beichen walked past ten rows of wine racks and saw...

A bed.

On the bed, in a pink nightgown, "Taixu Zi" Ling Taixu was sleeping soundly, hugging a young woman with a graceful figure.
