Chapter 311
It's none of your business!
Looking at Ye Zhi Qiu, who had just been suffocating them and almost driven him to his death, now lying there like a dead dog, Dai Mubai felt a surge of indescribable shock replace the pent-up frustration in his heart. Even his lingering feelings for Lin Xia seemed to fade for a moment.
Ma Hongjun's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit a goose egg, while Xiao Wu instinctively covered her mouth.
Flanders acted as if he had done something insignificant, not even glancing at Ye Zhi Qiu, who was lying in the mud at his feet.
He slowly withdrew his hand and gently dusted off non-existent dust from his gray robe, as if he had only brushed away an annoying mosquito.
He pushed up his crystal glasses again, his gaze sweeping over his still-shocked students from behind the lenses, and clicked his tongue impatiently.
"Still looking? Waiting for me to take you back? A bunch of troublesome good-for-nothings! I'll settle the score with you when we get back! Let's go!"
Dai Mubai and the others snapped out of their daze and dared not linger for a moment. They immediately turned around, carrying the complex emotions of surviving a disaster and a trace of awe for Flander's strength, and prepared to slink away from this messy open space.
The blood at the corner of Dai Mubai's mouth was still wet, and his eyes held a lingering sense of resentment and fear.
Tang San silently supported Xiao Wu, his Purple Demon Eyes subtly sweeping towards Lin Xia's direction.
Ma Hongjun shrank his neck, not daring to breathe.
Xiao Wu's face was still a little pale. Oscar, on the other hand, looked terrified.
However, Flander himself did not immediately follow.
A glint of light flashed in his deep-set eyes. His tall, thin figure did not leave with the student, but instead turned towards the lonely table in the shadows at the entrance of the tavern.
The arrogance, impatience, and extreme contempt for Ye Zhi Qiu that Flander had shown when facing students vanished instantly.
He strode to Lin Xia's table, bowed slightly, and his usually shrewd and calculating face was now filled with an almost fawning, apologetic smile that was completely inconsistent with his status and the terrifying strength he had just displayed.
"Lord Lin."
Flander's voice was deliberately soft and slow, filled with utmost respect.
“Those little brats outside were being quite unruly and making a lot of noise... I hope they didn't disturb your meal? I'm so sorry! It's my fault for not disciplining them properly and disturbing your peace and quiet.”
He rubbed his hands together, adopting an extremely humble posture. This stark contrast sent a jolt through Dai Mubai and the others who had secretly glanced back, and their fear of Lin Xia was once again doused with ice water!
Lin Xia raised her eyelids, her unfathomable eyes calmly looking at Flander. There was no anger, no blame, but Flander felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
"actually."
Lin Xia spoke, her voice calm and even, yet each word clear and distinct, like ice beads falling onto a jade plate.
"It's none of your business."
Flander's smile froze, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.
Lin Xia's gaze swept over Ye Zhi Qiu, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog in the distance, his life hanging in the balance, then slowly passed over Flander, and finally landed on the group of Shrek Academy students behind him who were still in shock.
"They are the ones who caused the trouble."
Lin Xia's voice remained flat, yet it carried a chilling, all-knowing quality.
"Now, Shrek Academy is no longer yours."
These words were like a cold dagger, piercing precisely into Flanders' heart. Flanders' pupils contracted sharply.
"It belongs to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Lin Xia's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, especially Ning Rongrong, who had just walked over.
He paused, his gaze refocusing on Flander's face, which had turned deathly pale.
“When they’re out in the world, their words and actions represent not only Shrek Academy, but also the face of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.” Lin Xia leaned forward slightly, the cold silver coin pausing at his fingertips, its cold light reflecting in his unwavering eyes.
"Flander, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Om-!"
Flander felt a deafening roar in his head!
Lin Xia's words were like a thunderclap, instantly shattering his reason, which had been temporarily clouded by anger and protectiveness!
He's not joking!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Ning Fengzhi! Sword Douluo Chen Xin!
The scene of Ning Fengzhi bringing Chen Xin to "visit" him that day replayed clearly in Flander's mind like a nightmare!
Chen Xin's sword intent, so tangible it seemed, Ning Fengzhi's gentle smile concealing an undeniable pressure, and the aura that had completely stripped away his life's work—Shrek Academy…
That deep-seated fear and helplessness, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed Flander.
Cold sweat instantly soaked through his inner shirt on his back, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His eyes behind his glasses were filled with panic and regret.
Yes, how could he forget!
The Shrek Academy of today is no longer the monster academy that Flander can act on impulse and protect at will!
It is now an asset of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
Dai Mubai and his group's arrogance is not only a slap in the face to Cang Hui, but also to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
Flander's actions just now, seemingly to protect his own and extricate himself from trouble, may actually have dragged the entire academy and himself into an even bigger vortex of trouble!
Just then, a clear voice, tinged with obvious anger and authority, rang out:
"Dean Flander!"
Ning Rongrong stepped forward from the crowd, her delicate face now covered with frost.
Her beautiful eyes no longer held their usual charm, but instead shone with the sharp light of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's little princess, staring intently at Flander, whose face was deathly pale.
Lin Xia's words were like a wake-up call, making her instantly realize the seriousness of tonight's farce—it wasn't just a fight between students, but also a matter of the sect's reputation!
"What happened tonight was provoked by Dai Mubai and his group. They verbally insulted Canghui Academy, physically assaulted people, and caused trouble!"
Ning Rongrong's voice was clear and powerful, each word like a small hammer striking Flander's heart.
"And you, as the dean, not only failed to stop and restrain them in time, but also publicly insulted the other academy as 'trash' when the other teacher demanded an explanation, and even brazenly attacked and seriously injured their Soul King-level teacher!"
Ning Rongrong's small chest heaved slightly, clearly indicating that she was quite angry.
"Your words and actions have severely damaged the image of Shrek Academy and are tarnishing the reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and said decisively:
"I will definitely report this matter to my father truthfully and in detail! And ask him to make the decision!"
"Boom!"
Ning Rongrong's words were like a second bolt from the blue for Flander!
More direct and more destructive than Lin Xia's warning!
"Rongrong! Wait! Let me explain..."
Flander panicked instantly, his face drained of color, and even his voice trembled slightly.
He was eager to explain himself and try to salvage the situation.
But Ning Rongrong just looked at him coldly, her eyes clearly telling him what was going on.
Explanation is useless. (End of Chapter)
