Chapter 1911: Chapter 1891:

When the old man arrived at the headmaster’s office, he saw the headmaster with a solemn expression, standing by the window staring at something outside.

"Headmaster?" The old man couldn’t help but frown and called out.

"You’re here." The headmaster turned around, smiled warmly at the old man, and pointed at the chair, "Sit."

For some reason, goosebumps rose all over the old man’s body. What’s going on?

You should know, the headmaster is a smiling tiger; why is he smiling so happily? What’s up?

"You’ve been working hard these past few days." The headmaster said warmly, his beard twitching unnaturally, indicating there was something fishy going on here.

The old man looked at him cautiously, "It’s nothing, it’s what I should do. You’re in a good mood today?"

"Yes." The headmaster laughed, "It’s good that you’re doing what you should. I’ll leave the upcoming matters to you. I’ve received an invitation, and I fear I won’t be able to return for some time. You can handle everything here on your own."

"???" The old man was baffled, "What invitation? Don’t just push everything onto me; I still have to take the little brats to manage my herb garden!"

"Among us brothers, you’re the one with the greatest vision for people, so I’m entrusting everything to you with peace of mind. Besides, as the headmaster, I haven’t shown my face for so long, it doesn’t make much difference whether I’m here or not. If there’s anything, just discuss with Fu Qing."

"What do you mean by peace of mind? I’m not at peace with it myself, okay? You go gallivanting, leaving this mess for me? Aren’t there just a couple of ’landmines’ in the back mountains? Can’t you take some responsibility? You’re the headmaster, after all! Don’t push everything onto us, okay? You should manage something, shouldn’t you?!"

The old man was immediately dissatisfied and stomped his foot. Initially, he was worried about whether his food was being monitored, but now he had no mood to be concerned with the food issues!

"You know, our academy is just a place for talent export, but there are few people coming from us." The headmaster sighed, feeling rather helpless, "This invitation is likely to affect the future of these kids."

After all, their Cultivation World isn’t just what meets the eye.

The old man also fell silent instantly. If it’s an invitation from the academy, there’s indeed no way to refuse.... And truly, this is also their purpose of existence....

"So, from now on, you are the headmaster." The headmaster — no, the former headmaster patted the old man’s shoulder gently, "Despite your unimpressive name and your old-looking face, which makes you look like a little old man, after a formal meeting and vote, we unanimously agreed that you are the most suitable candidate!"

Old man, "???" So when did the meeting happen? How is it unanimous without his vote? Isn’t this a trap? It’s literally a death trap! I’ve never seen such brothers!

"So, here you go, this is the headmaster’s attire, I haven’t worn it, this is the headmaster’s seal, it’s practically useless, this is the symbolic scepter.... I must say, it’s quite handy for scratching itches. Also, these two fishes are also entrusted to you. I’m leaving now, when I come back, I’ll help you with troubles, after all, I’m old, when people get old, they need to first take care of their own mood."

With that, he pushed the things in front of the old man, and leisurely opened the door, waved the sleeves and left without bringing away a cloud.

When the old man realized and dashed to open the door, what he saw was the crazed back fleeing like a mad dog chasing....

"Damn it! I knew it was a trap!" The old man slammed the door heavily!

Then he looked at the headmaster’s office with a bitter face, he really didn’t want to stay here....

"Seems like Boss has successfully escaped?" Fu Qing leisurely pushed the door open, looked at the old man with a face full of gloom and smiled, "The others went into seclusion, only the two of us are still active."

"Escaped?" The old man looked confused, why did Fu Qing say Boss?

"Well, didn’t he tell you the truth? His dream lover wrote to him, and he couldn’t sit still...."

Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyes instantly turned red, bellowing to the sky, "If you have guts, don’t come back!!!"

Fu Qing seemed to feel the need to stimulate the old man even more, and continued, "By the way, only the three of us know about this, don’t spill the beans, or others might also ditch and beat him up."

Old man, ".... So, you guys unanimously voted to trap me alone?"

"Vote?" Fu Qing reacted as if hearing something funny, "Do you think Boss would do something to shoot himself in the foot?"

After all.... Among them, only the former headmaster’s name was easiest to write, so it would definitely be him in the vote, that goes without saying?

Who among them is willing to take on troublesome matters? Seems like aside from the old man, there’s no other choice.

The old man clenched his fists, "I fell for his trick!"

"Alright, I’ll handle the matters here, you just take charge of your previous stuff." Fu Qing gave a helpless smile, actually all previous dealings at the headmaster’s here were looked after by him, if he didn’t come, Boss would send everything to him, to avoid students seeing it, he could only resign himself to ’voluntarily’ accept this task.

"You’re being decent." The old man said, quite touched, "When Shiliu makes something good, I won’t forget you." But don’t think about getting any snacks, those are his rewards, his appearance fee.

Fu Qing nodded, then casually stuffed the headmaster’s attire, the headmaster seal and other things Boss had never used back to the original place, looked at the conspicuous scepter on the table, raised an eyebrow, "Boss’s ’scratcher’, do you want to carry it with you?" After all, this is a symbol of identity, isn’t it?

The old man looked disgusted, "Take it away!" Why would he want this useless thing?

He would rather be a vice headmaster, alright? Being a headmaster sounds nice, but doesn’t it mean that any issue would go to the headmaster?

Especially at this moment.... The squad is already in selection process, the headmaster definitely has to appear, right?

He sighed heavily, "So annoyed, I’ll go find Shiliu for some barbecue!" The irritated old man kicked the door hard, then turned and left.

Fu Qing watched the old man’s departing silhouette, and was also helplessly amused.

The truth of Boss’s departure is fully known only to her, so she knew Boss intended to trap the old man from the start, but she chose to remain silent.

After all, even if the old man likes to make a fuss, he is much better than Boss who doesn’t ’personally get involved’ in anything.

Being able to change to a slightly more industrious headmaster is also ’lightening the load,’ isn’t it?
