Chapter 42: The Academy's Reaction

  "Xu'er is back." Leng Qingtian said happily, looking at his granddaughter who jumped down from Yu's back. He also said that she comes home every day, but he hasn't seen her for several days, wuwuwu... little cheat.

  "Grandpa, Snow has been staying in the library for these few days and accidentally forgot about time." Leng Ruo Xue explained, seeing her grandpa's expression she knew what he was thinking.

  "What did you gain?"

  "There is one thing," said Leng Ruoxue.

  "That's good."

  "Grandpa, is there any news about Xiuyuancao?"

  "Not yet."

  "I've asked many Dan masters and none of them have heard of this herb." Leng Qingtian said with some concern.

  "Grandpa, don't rush, take your time and search slowly, you'll find it eventually." said Leng Ruo Xue reassuringly.

  "I'll go take a look at brother, oh right, grandpa, the Fu family might come looking for trouble with you."

  "Grandpa didn't take the Fu family seriously, but why?" Leng Qingtian was somewhat perplexed.

  "I and Baby hurt Fu Mingzhu." said Leng Ruoxue calmly.

  "Is it very painful?" Leng Qingtian asked with some curiosity.

  "Not hurt, just scratched by the baby on the face."

  “……”

  Isn't that heavy? Who doesn't know that Miss Fu's most treasured possession is her face, and now she's speechless.

  "Older brother."

  Xuě er.

  "Ye Chen didn't come back with you." Leng Ruo Han asked curiously without seeing Ye Chen.

  "He came back and said he was tired, then went back to his room to sleep," Leng Ruoxue explained.

  "Brother looks quite well now." Leng Ruoxue looked him up and down, it seemed that brother's mood had almost recovered.

  "Thanks to these two little guys who have been with me all the time." Leng Ruo Han pointed at the silver wolf and little fire lion sleeping soundly in his arms, "With these two lovely little guys sticking to him every day, he didn't have time to think about those unhappy things anymore."

  "They've done a good job completing their task." Leng Ruoxue was very satisfied.

  "Brother, I'll take you somewhere."

  Looking at Leng Ruohan with a puzzled expression, Leng Ruxue mysteriously smiled and directly took Leng Ruohan into the 'Qiankun Ring'.

  "Xue Er, where is this? This place is too beautiful." Leng Ruo Han was amazed, how could there be such a beautiful place in the world.

  "This is your sister's space in my place, brother can stay here if he likes." said Leng Ruoxue.

  "Really?" Leng Ruohan said with some excitement, this place is simply a paradise on earth.

  "As long as brother likes it." Then Leng Ruo Xue told her brother about the origin of this space.

  "No wonder Grandpa felt at ease letting you go out and gain experience on your own." For Xue Er's safety, Grandpa even kept it from him, but he understood Grandpa's approach. If it were him, he would also keep it a secret from Grandpa. In such a place that defies the heavens, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

  "Xue'er, Grandfather was right, you're a person with a deep good fortune, and now your brother is also benefiting from it." Leng Ruohan said with a hint of pride.

  "From now on, Xue Er will take her brother with her wherever she goes." She wouldn't allow anyone to bully her brother.

  "Foolish girl." Leng Ruo Han was very moved.

  The conference room of Fengtian Academy was tense and on edge.

  "Principal, Leng Ruoxue is a student you specifically recruited. What do you think we should do about this? We have to give the Fu family an explanation." Vice Principal Chen Jian of Fengtian Academy said somewhat aggressively.

  "What do you want to give the Fu family as an explanation?" Lin Liang said lightly. Now, Fengtian Academy is basically divided into two factions: one faction is his people, and the other faction is Chen Jian's people. Chen Jian has been eyeing the position of principal because he has the Xu family backing him up. The matter with Yu was something he manipulated with his own hands. Unfortunately, at that time, he happened to be away from the academy, otherwise, things wouldn't have gotten out of hand and caused his disciple to suffer injustice. To say that he doesn't hate him is a lie, but now isn't the time to take action against him.

  "Of course, we'll hand Ruo Xue over to the Fu family and let them deal with her." Chen Jian said matter-of-factly.

  "Hand her over to the Fu family, and you'll go represent the Academy in the competition?" Lin Liang sneered.

  "What do you mean by this, Dean?"

  "Ling Xue will represent our college in this inter-college competition and she's our ace." said Lin Liang.

  "What? Dean, that Cold-as-Snow is an idiot, and you actually let an idiot represent the college. Do you want to make our Feng Tian College a laughing stock on the entire Liang Feng Continent? Our college isn't without people, what qualifications does she have to represent the college?" Chen Jian shouted in anger.

  "She's not qualified? Then who is?" Lin Liang retorted, humph, as if he didn't know Chen Jian's little thoughts. Before, he didn't bother him because he regarded him as a clown, but now he had obviously threatened the foundation of the college.

  "Our college is full of talented people, but you let a fool be the mainstay, which will chill the hearts of other students." Chen Jian said with righteous words.

  "Yes, Dean, if a fool is made the backbone of our college, the students will not be convinced." An elder chimed in, catching Chen Jian's eye signal.

  "Yes, Dean, think thrice."

  "Director, this won't do."

  "Are you the dean or am I the dean? Are you all doubting my judgment?" Lin Liang coldly snorted, displeased.

  Those elderly men who held dissenting opinions all fell silent when they heard the Dean's tone, although the Dean usually focused on cultivation and rarely managed college affairs, but when the Dean got angry, they were very afraid.

  "Dean, Leng Ruoxue has injured her classmate. Even if our college doesn't hand her over to the Fu family for punishment, we can't keep such a violent student in our college. Otherwise, it will make all the students feel uneasy and fearful. Many classmates have reacted with me, if Leng Ruoxue doesn't leave the college, they will leave." Chen Jian added fuel to the fire by saying.

  "Who said that? Are you trying to use public opinion to suppress him again?"

  "This... I promised not to tell anyone about them." Chen Jian said.

  "Hmph, either you speak up and tell me who said it, otherwise my decision won't change. Moreover, one hand can't clap by itself, if you want to pursue Cold Ruo Xue's responsibility, why not ask clearly what Fu Ming Zhu has done first? Besides, if you want to hand over Cold Ruo Xue to the Fu family for punishment, go and talk to Cold Qing Tian yourself, this matter won't be interfered with by the academy." Lin Liang said as he stood up from his seat, gave them a cold glance, turned around and left.

  Go tell Leng Qingtian yourself? Who dares to do that? Last time, Leng Qingtian almost didn't spare them. This time, they originally wanted the dean to represent the college in taking responsibility, but now the dean has made it clear that he won't get involved, so they are also powerless.

  "Your Majesty, I beg you to take charge for the sake of your old minister." A stout middle-aged man with a big belly knelt on the floor of the imperial study and pleaded.

  "My dear, what are you doing?" The emperor asked in puzzlement.

  "Your Majesty, someone has injured my little daughter. I beg Your Majesty to uphold justice for me." The academy refused to intervene, so he had no choice but to appeal to the emperor.

  "You are the Prime Minister of Dongchi, and yet there is someone who dares to bully your daughter?" You're not bullying others, that's good enough, the Emperor added in his heart.

  "It was General Leng's family fool, she and her beast pet injured the little girl." Fu Xiang said with a painful cry.
