Chapter 295: Chapter 283: Academy Alliance’s Protest! Calm at the Front, Infighting Rears its Head! Flip the Table, No One Can Hold an Umbrella!
Mentioning meat reminded Chu Feng of the rich aroma from demon beast flesh when cooked, far surpassing any meat from Blue Star.
It was like lifting a piece of beast meat, biting down hard until the juices splashed everywhere, the muscle fibers bursting one by one, the sweet and thick juices enveloping his mouth with delight...
Suddenly, his stomach made a loud rumbling sound.
"I’m so hungry..."
Healing his injuries had drained a tremendous amount of energy, nearly emptying Chu Feng entirely.
He was now so hungry that he saw stars, his stomach acid churning wildly, wishing he could tear the blanket into strips and chew on it to stave off the hunger.
Just then, his nose twitched as if he caught a whiff of... food?
Right afterward, he saw the door pushed open, revealing Lu Lin’s swollen face with a friendly smile and his hand holding a plastic bag filled with food.
Chu Feng was so excited he almost burst into tears, "Instructor, you really are my timely rain! But how come you look even more haggard than me? Your face is so swollen it’s hardly recognizable!"
Lu Lin was about to speak, but at those words, he rolled his eyes and casually tossed the bag to Chu Feng: "It’s all because of that cultivation technique of yours!
"Throwing all your problems to me, while you go out and have fun! Shut up and eat!"
"Oh!"
Chu Feng quickly took the bag, not caring about his swollen face, and immediately began to eat heartily.
...
As Chu Feng devoured his food on the bed, Lu Lin, sitting by the bed and yawning, told him about what had happened while he was unconscious.
Chu Feng listened and nodded, and when Lu Lin finished, he asked:
"So you’re saying that after you brought me here, Principal Ge and Commander Lin went to make a scene at the government’s place?"
"What do you mean ’make a scene?’ They were advocating for justice for you and Commander Lin, fighting for legitimate benefits,"
Lu Lin rubbed his eyes and smiled, "Principal Ge said that our students from the university can’t endure such grievances!
"He said you’re a young hero who destroyed a Demon Clan camp, thwarted the Demons’ conspiracy, and pioneered a new school of martial arts, a most precious asset of Longhua.
"What’s more precious is that you are a martial artist from a common background, a successful exemplar.
"Yet such an important person was betrayed by his own, chased for thousands of miles on Longhua’s turf, and barely escaped with his life.
"What’s more, the Yin Yang Realm martial artists who pursued you are insiders from the government, born into martial families!
"Principal Ge said that there’s no justice in this!
"What, does the government dislike having too many civilian martial arts talents, wanting to kill a few to reduce the consumption of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?
"Would this happen to descendants of the noble clans?
"Is Longhua courting its own destruction by letting its geniuses be attacked by human traitors within its own borders? This is a sign of national ruin!
"Tired of peace, are they trying to incite rebellions for fun?
"The Longhua Parliament, a group of fools, can’t govern, so let the Academy Alliance do it!
"We must ensure that civilian students receive better protection and more resources and policy incentives!"
Chu Feng was dumbfounded, "Principal Ge is really bold to say such things, huh?"
Lu Lin laughed, "Why not? Principal Ge is well experienced with these matters. Back in the day, he often led us to... ahem, to uphold justice!
"If it weren’t for Principal Ge putting his reputation on the line and demanding such preferential treatment and promises from the region,
"Yan University, the hardest hit during the fiercest times of war, might have already become the lowest ranked university, or even disbanded."
Chu Feng opened his mouth in vain, like a fish out of water, with only the word "awesome" coming to mind.
Lu Lin continued, "Moreover, the large region has indeed performed poorly in some respects, especially in protecting the talents among commoners.
"Aristocratic youngsters travel with family protection, ensuring their safety.
"But a commoner’s child like you doesn’t have this privilege. Instead, you become a prime target for attacks by the Evil Cult.
"Every year, numerous talented commoners die prematurely in these attacks, and the region has long been criticized for this.
"Additionally, perhaps due to less pressure on the frontlines in recent years, internal struggles within the region have gradually resurfaced.
"Many people have started to engage with external forces, which is one of the reasons why the Evil Cult has become increasingly rampant in recent years."
At this point, the smile disappeared from his face, and he spoke coldly, his voice full of sarcasm, "The intensity of their conflicts can truly shake heaven and earth.
"Even I, a useless person who hides in Yan University and doesn’t ask about worldly affairs, have heard of their ’achievements.’
"Utilizing public opinion to attack each other is one thing, but once they start losing, some people cannot sit still.
"Initially, they were merely clandestinely involved with the Evil Cult, but now it has evolved into blatant collusion.
"What’s next? Are they going to whitewash the Evil Cult and become the so-called Neutral Faction?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng frowned deeply, "Fuck, seriously, Teacher? Isn’t the Evil Cult controlled by the Demon Clan?"
Lu Lin shook his head, "You are talking about the God Worship Sect, which is the most extreme among the Evil Cults, consisting of ungrateful fools who regard the Demon Clan as gods.
"There are also some sects not controlled by the Demon Clan, but as long as they are part of the Evil Cult, their core ideology is quite similar.
"They either regard demons as the heavenly father, celestial gods, messengers sent by some beings, or they believe that humans have damaged Blue Star, thus bringing about the demons’ arrival and the resulting human suffering.
"The only difference is whether they want to fully align with the Demon Clan or seek to negotiate land for peace and coexist with the demons."
Chu Feng’s face showed a look of disgust, "Motherfucker, these are all the surrender faction; they should be wiped out!"
Lu Lin smiled helplessly, "There will always be people who turn to them for help, using their power in exchange for advocating legal status for them in the council..."
Chu Feng shook his head, no longer interested in delving further, but then curiously asked, "Teacher, who was the Yin Yang Realm martial artist chasing me?"
Lu Lin’s face was expressionless, "He’s a captain from a special operations department of the government, named Zhai Yunbo.
"This department is deeply hidden, unknown to the outside world. We only know that it is one of the departments controlled by the Martial Noble Families.
"The ones able to place people in there... Hmph!"
"Principal Ge and Commander Lin are tightening the investigation into the people behind the Yin Yang Realm before the news of the enemy’s capture leaks."
Chu Feng fell silent for a moment, "That person’s status must be quite high, and his family must be from a significant Martial Family."
Lu Lin smiled, "It doesn’t matter. No matter how high the status, no matter how big the family, our Academy Alliance can handle it!
"Our alliance, usually quiet and non-competitive, diligently and conscientiously cultivates outstanding students for all of Longhua, they are then distributed to various departments by the government, or fought over by the major powers.
"But there’s a saying, ’It’s best to deal with a honest person who is not angry; but once an honest person gets angry, they could go after your life!’
"If the government doesn’t give us a clear explanation, doesn’t dig out the person behind this, doesn’t make some policy concessions to the commoners...
"We will have to turn the tables!"
Lu Lin grinned, and Chu Feng saw for the first time this domineering side of Lu Lin!
He boldly declared, "Our alliance and the students from Yan University, which one isn’t elite, which one hasn’t occupied crucial sectors of various forces.
"If they really push us to the edge, if Principal Ge calls to arms, we don’t even need half to respond, even if only a third are willing to help speak, all of Longhua will be sleepless tonight."
Lu Lin gave Chu Feng a deep look, the next words making his blood boil:
"If we want it to rain, nobody is going to stay dry!"
