Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 362 - 361: Saving Face
Chapter 362: Chapter 361: Saving Face
Hearing the Mountain Sea Dean’s words, Luo Zuchen still maintained a casual demeanor.
“For this Ten Nations Grand Competition, if it weren’t for Shen Han, I wonder how much face we of Great Wei would have lost.
The leader of our team for this Ten Nations Competition is also a teacher of our Mountain Sea Academy.
According to what they’ve been saying, Mr. Luo’s name has now spread widely, even people from Yan and Qi are quite aware.
However, the reputation that has spread is not a good one.
It’s a notorious name for being reckless and ruthless against the younger generation of our own country.
Does Mr. Luo have anything to say about this?”
While organizing his desk, the Mountain Sea Dean asked.
Occasionally, he glanced at Luo Zuchen, though his gaze was hard to read.
Listening to these words, Luo Zuchen hesitated slightly.
“Dean, I’ve been here at Mountain Sea Academy for over 20 years, and in these twenty-some years, I don’t recall ever being truly harsh on our academy’s students?
At most, I’ve given them a light lesson.
As for using actual force, I don’t believe I’ve ever done so.”
Upon hearing Luo Zuchen’s response, the Mountain Sea Dean couldn’t help but frown and look at him.
“So you think there’s nothing wrong with what you’ve done?”
Facing these questions, Luo Zuchen also frowned, “I haven’t laid a hand on the academy’s students, why should you be reprimanding me for that?
Are you also going to protect the lesser characters from other academies?”
Luo Zuchen’s retort made the Mountain Sea Dean even angrier.
“It seems in your eyes, I am a very narrow-minded person.
But let me tell you, regarding the young people of Great Wei, whether they are students of the Mountain Sea Academy or not,
regardless of whether their talents are high or low,
I hope they can grow up safely and smoothly.
In the past, I didn’t seriously discuss these matters with you because I feared your impulsiveness might cause you to retaliate even harder after hearing our advice.
But this time, several teachers from Mountain Sea Academy have brought it to my attention.
Do you know what they said?
They asked me to properly address your behavior, Mr. Luo, and to stop you from laying hands on the younger generation.
People need dignity, and trees need bark. As a senior, don’t you feel any shame in acting against the young people?”
Hearing these words from the Mountain Sea Dean, Luo Zuchen’s expression turned completely cold.
“I’d like to know which teachers have spoken to you, can you let me know?”
The threat in this question was palpable.
However, the Mountain Sea Dean seemed to have anticipated his question and stood up as well.
“Chen Xinghe, Xiao Li, Li Chengzhou, Peng Tianxi.
If you want to seek revenge, go ahead.
When they spoke with me, they expressly stated.
They’re willing to shoulder your resentment on behalf of other young people.”
These words left Luo Zuchen slightly stunned.
“Madmen, they’re all a bunch of brainless madmen.
What does Shen Han have to do with you?
He’s just a student at Tianyi Academy, what does it have to do with our Mountain Sea Academy?
Is it really worth protecting him like this?
Even the Shen Family doesn’t care, do any of you have any relationship with Shen Han?”
A series of questions left Luo Zuchen puzzled, unable to understand why these people were meddling.
Facing Luo Zuchen’s questions, the Mountain Sea Dean slightly turned and looked at him seriously.
“If you can’t understand, then your mindset is too narrow, and you’re not fit to be a teacher.
The original intent of the Mountain Sea Academy was to cultivate the younger generation of Great Wei, helping them grow and become the pillars of the nation.
The academy has achieved its current success because it adhered to this principle.
The academy is meant to cultivate young people for the whole of Great Wei, not just the students of the academy, let alone behaving like you, focusing only on Shen Ye, harming others in the process.
Take a look around, even many students of Mountain Sea Academy are not as narrow-minded as you.
They communicate with students from other academies, learn from each other, and even take the initiative to guide others.
As it stands, many people at Mountain Sea Academy are already fed up with you.”
The Mountain Sea Dean seemed infuriated by Luo Zuchen’s attitude.
Today, as he rebuked him, there was no politeness left in his words.
“From today onwards, if I hear of you laying a finger on that child, Shen Han, don’t blame me for stepping in.
I know you have influential backing, and if they have an issue, let them come to me.”
After speaking, the Mountain Sea Dean waved his hand, indicating that Luo Zuchen could leave.
Specifically calling him here, it turned out to be a warning.
To warn him not to lay a hand on Shen Han again.
Thinking of this, Luo Zuchen felt a stifling sensation in his chest, very uncomfortable.
In fact, after hearing about Shen Han’s excellent performance in the Ten Nations Grand Competition, he already felt uncomfortable.
He speculated that Shen Han would definitely receive more and deeper protection.
Luo Zuchen hadn’t even encountered other people’s protection for Shen Han yet.
Yet he was first warned by the Mountain Sea Academy.
Leaving the Mountain Sea Dean’s courtyard, Luo Zuchen’s face had already turned completely cold.
The enmity between himself and Shen Han had long since become a deadly grudge.
How could it be so easy to just let it go?
Even if he let it go, would Shen Han?
Maybe he would let it go in the coming years, but after he grows, can he be sure he won’t seek revenge?
Luo Zuchen was not that foolish, he wouldn’t leave a hidden danger for the future, that would be digging his own grave.
More and more people held Shen Han in high regard, which further demonstrated the importance of eliminating this potential threat.
Returning to his residence, he secretly pondered and deliberated.
After being warned by the Mountain Sea Dean today, he anticipated facing more and more obstacles.
His attempts to deal with Shen Han would surely encounter obstructions from many Immortal Realm experts.
Thinking critically, Luo Zuchen felt that under the current circumstances, it might be even easier for Shen Ye to make a move.
Especially since in two months, there would be a competition between Shen Han and Shen Ye.
Taking that opportunity, perhaps the task could be accomplished.
There was no need to force Shen Han’s demise, destroying his foundations and turning him into a cripple would suffice.
With these thoughts, Luo Zuchen then stood up and leaped towards the outskirts of the Capital City.
During this period, Shen Ye had been in a state of continuous training and study, almost without rest for a day.
Moreover, some methods that shouldn’t be used at this time, Shen Ye no longer hesitated to employ them all.
Whenever a sense of exhaustion crossed his mind, Shen Ye would recall Shen Han’s image in his head.
Just imagining Shen Han’s voice and appearance filled him with a burst of energy and immense motivation for cultivation.
Returning to Tianyi Academy.
Shen Han also didn’t waste any time.
The “Divine Abyss Formulas” still required him to deepen his understanding and study.
This would be an important card up his sleeve.
Additionally, the Path of Array also needed to increase his proficiency.
