…

He returned to the small cabin by the bay.

Zhu Minglang escorted Duan Lan to the front door, and Duan Lan urged him not to mention this matter to Duan Changqing.

Since the incident had already passed.

Zhu Minglang nodded, knowing that if Duan Changqing were aware of the situation, he likely wouldn’t care what son of what Great Tutor from the Lin Family Lin Yan was, and would probably have fought desperately from the start.

“Why did that Great Tutor call you ‘Your Excellency’?” Duan Lan asked, somewhat puzzled.

The title ‘Excellency’ wasn’t particularly common, at least not in the circles of Dragon Shepherds and those between God and Mortal, where it was most often used as a term of great respect.

Given that Great Tutor Lin Zhao was in the wrong to begin with, there was no need for him to go out of his way to use the term “Excellency”.

It was apparent that Great Tutor Lin Zhao held some respect for Zhu Minglang.

“It’s nothing much, not long ago I was wandering around the Neon Sea and escorted one of his injured disciples. At that time, I didn’t reveal my name, so he called me that,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Oh, I’m actually fine, nothing major. The final review is coming up soon and there’s still time. I hope to garner more support from our followers at Li Chuan, especially since I’ve heard that you shone brilliantly in the grand competition. Now that many in the academy are discussing it, this may let some understand more about Li Chuan Academy,” Duan Lan had no plans to rest back in the cabin.

“Actually… well, that’s good, that’s good, then Teacher Duan Lan has worked hard,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

He originally intended to tell Duan Lan that there was no need to worry about the matter anymore.

With Lin Yan’s incident having occurred, Great Tutor Lin Zhao would definitely do everything in his power to ensure Li Chuan’s formal admission, smoothing out any issues during the review process using his influence if necessary.

But seeing how hard Teacher Duan Lan was working to promote Li Chuan, Zhu Minglang thought it might be better not to elaborate.

Pouring effort into something one cherishes was valuable, regardless of the outcome.

…

At Half Hill Mansion, Lin Yan, with a bruised face, was brought back.

There were still many guests at home, and Lin Zhao, faced with this scenario, was so angry he wanted to beat Lin Yan up again.

“Everyone, my son Lin Yan has played a joke on all of you. Today is actually his birthday, and he purposefully called it an engagement party to show off. I’ve already punished him severely. Please continue to enjoy the fine wine and food, and pay no mind to his earlier words,” Lin Zhao, steam practically coming out from his head, still managed to suppress his anger and clean up the mess for Lin Yan.

“Ah? A birthday party, isn’t Lin Yan’s birthday not until next month?” said the old grandmother.

“If I say today is his birthday party, then it is his birthday party,” Lin Zhao said sternly.

“That’s a good thing, that’s a good thing. Let’s all drink up and celebrate Lin Yan’s birthday!”

“Cheers, cheers!”

Those who believed, believed, and those who didn’t, likely understood what had happened in the end.

The matter was thus clumsily resolved, and as to how friends and relatives would spread the word afterward, Great Tutor Lin Zhao had no better solution.

Back in his study, Great Tutor Lin Zhao remained silent.

Lin Yan was kneeling on the cold floor, head bowed.

Before long, a man and a woman arrived, none other than Supervisor Han Wen and another supervisor, He Shou.

“Sister Han, save me, Sister Han Wen, I don’t know why my father is acting like he wants to kill me today. I admit I did wrong, but I am still his flesh and blood,” cried Lin Yan as soon as he saw Han Wen, as if seeing a savior.

Han Wen and He Shou were both disciples of Great Tutor Lin and held the positions of supervisors.

“How did you get beaten up like this?” Han Wen asked, confused.

“He Shou, I already know about the great job you did with my son. You make me feel ashamed. From now on, don’t call me your teacher, and as for your position as supervisor, I will have the higher-ups reassess it,” Great Tutor Lin Zhao said.

“Teacher, I didn’t take advantage of my position for improper dealings. Li Chuan Academy simply doesn’t qualify for admission,” He Shou retorted.

“`

“Stop making excuses and get out, get out!” Great Tutor Lin Zhao shouted in anger.

He Shou, terrified, tumbled and scrambled away, not daring to linger any longer.

Seeing the terrifying rage of Great Tutor Lin Zhao, Han Wen quietly asked the nearby Lin Xiao Xuan what exactly had happened.

Lin Xiao Xuan detailed the events to Han Wen.

Han Wen was somewhat surprised.

She asked Master Lin, “Great Tutor, that Mr. Zhu, could he be…”

“You know that is enough; he does not wish too many people to know of this matter,” said Great Tutor Lin Zhao.

Turbulence churned within Han Wen’s heart.

So Zhu Minglang was indeed the reclusive expert who had escorted them back to the Neon Sea.

A Dragon King Level strongman!

To think he was mingling among the students of an outer courtyard!

“Sister Han Wen, please beg for mercy on my behalf, I beg you, or my father will truly kill me today!” Lin Yan pleaded.

“You truly do not appreciate your father’s difficulties. The person you offended today is beyond what a spoiled brat like you could ever imagine. If your father didn’t punish you harshly, not only could your life be at risk, but even the relatives and friends invited by the Lin Family today might suffer the consequences,” Han Wen regarded Lin Yan.

Actually, Han Wen felt that Great Tutor Lin Zhao was still too lenient towards his son. A proper punishment would be to severely handicap, bedridden for a few months; only then the other party might cool off.

“Sister Han Wen, what joke are you making? My dad is the Grand Instructor of the Dragon Taming High Court, who would dare to provoke him!” exclaimed Lin Yan.

“Ignorant fool!!” Lin Zhao really felt like spitting blood out of frustration with his son.

Han Wen also sighed deeply.

Indeed, no matter how detailed the explanation, a person as ignorant as him would never understand the difference.

Lin Zhao was a Great Tutor, over fifty years old, with a status built up over many years and a King-level Honorable.

But that expert, in his twenties, possessed a cultivation base equivalent to Great Tutor Lin Zhao, and his future potential was immeasurable.

If the other party intended revenge, Great Tutor Lin Zhao could indeed barely manage to contend with the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon King.

But in a few more years, the other party’s cultivation base would reach a realm unreachable by others.

How could they be the same??

Personages such as him you would see Sect Leaders and Sect Masters from major powers strive by all possible means to win over. For those at the senior level of the Dragon Taming Academy to have the fortune to get to know him was already exceedingly lucky.

At this moment, Han Wen too could understand why Great Tutor Lin Zhao was so angry.

Both Han Wen and Lin Zhao were eager to make acquaintance with this powerhouse.

It would be ideal to persuade him to join the Dragon Taming High Court.

Instead, Lin Yan and Supervisor He Shou had rejected someone who had proactively applied for admission right out the gate!

“There’s something I need to discuss with you, Great Tutor. Supervisor Sun Chong—he has had a long-standing grudge with that Outer Court Dean Duan Changqing and seems to be going to great lengths to obstruct their enrollment,” Han Wen said.

“Stupider than the next, tomorrow I will see what this Sun Chong is made of,” the Great Tutor Lin Zhao said.

The expert must be retained. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

And he was only interested in the Li Chuan Academy.

Then they would spare no expense to make Li Chuan a branch of the Dragon Taming Academy.
