C657 Restore the Academy's Reputation
Zhi Qiuyang seemed to have expected Ye Chen to do this. He smiled indifferently and said, "Mr. Ye, don't be so angry."
As he spoke, he also made himself a cup of good tea.
He looked very unusual.
In the past, whenever Zhi Qiuyang saw him, he seemed to want to kneel down and kowtow a few times on the spot.
But this time, he was really calm. He was so calm that it was a little scary.
"You want to fire my student, but you still don't allow me to get angry! Is that what you mean?"
Ye Chen coldly snorted and asked.
"Mr. Ye, you must know the rules of our academy. Cao Long has committed such a serious mistake. If we don't punish him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
"Don't fart. You should take back these words that are so dignified. Withdraw the punishment immediately. Don't delay my time any longer."
Zhi Qiuyang smiled and shook his head. "This is a decision made by the leaders of the academy. I can't change it."
Ye Chen thought that he had given Zhi Qiuyang enough face by coming here personally, but Zhi Qiuyang dared to use such an official reason to fool him.
"Leaders? Which leaders?" Ye Chen asked.
"This is not something you should know. After all, you are just a teacher. Your level is not high enough." Zhi Qiuyang said disdainfully.
Ye Chen's face darkened. "Okay, then I will go and ask Elder Huangfu to see if his level is high enough."
Huangfu's status in the academy was extraordinary. He was only second to the two deans.
With him here, no one could stop Ye Chen.
But this time, it seemed to have lost its effectiveness.
"Mr. Ye, this was decided by the elders of the academy together. Not to mention Elder Huangfu has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the academy, even if he had the ability, he would not be able to change this outcome."
Zhi Qiuyang had a confident look on his face, and there was a confident smile on his face.
"Pingtian Academy is not Elder Huangfu's hall of words, and it is also not a place where geniuses act recklessly. Let me tell you, don't continue to cause trouble, or else you will be the only one who will be injured. This time, Cao Long must be expelled! "
Must be expelled?
This sentence seemed to have touched Ye Chen's bottom line. As soon as Zhi Qiuyang finished speaking, even the surrounding air started to turn cold.
He had a total of seven students, and each of them was nurtured with painstaking effort.
And Cao Long was one of the best among them. In the future, he might even become the most outstanding student in Pingtian Academy.
He had finally won the championship of the competition with great difficulty, and was expelled before he had the time to enjoy it. This was unreasonable.
"Alright. I will invite Elder Huangfu here now and see if he can decide whether Cao Long will stay or leave."
"Humph, go if you have the ability. Even if Elder Huangfu comes personally, he won't be able to let Cao Long stay here any longer."
At this moment, an aged voice sounded.
"Is that so? I want to try."
Huangfu's appearance instantly filled Zhi Qiuyang's heart with fear.
What was going on?
Why was Huangfu here in such a timely manner?
According to the rumors, Ye Chen and Huangfu were old friends. Initially, he thought that it was just a rumor, but he didn't expect it to be true.
This was going to be difficult.
Huangfu was very angry. Obviously, he wanted to fight for justice for Ye Chen.
Ye Chen had just returned to the academy, and he had encountered something that made him so sad.
These people were simply messing around.
Huangfu narrowed his eyes and said faintly, "Zhi Qiuyang, you are just a director. Don't stand on the wrong team. Otherwise, you will be the one to suffer. Do you know why the academy set up an elder position? They were afraid that these people would starve to death, so they would be able to make a living for them. So until now, they do not have actual power. Don't compare the few elders behind you to me; Otherwise... I don't mind replacing them, especially you, understand? "
His words were very domineering, but it was an indisputable fact.
Seeing Huangfu become serious, Zhi Qiuyang no longer had his previous calm.
He became more and more guilty, and beads of sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead. He smiled bitterly in his heart.
Zhi Qiuyang was smart. Suddenly, he looked like he was trying to suck up to Zhi Qiuyang.
"Elder Huangfu, Mr. Ye, it's not that I want to fire your students. It's just that the academy has really been under a lot of pressure these two days. You don't know, the rumors are spreading very quickly. The matter of Cao Long's suicide caused a lot of commotion. Furthermore, the two deans had ordered that they would protect you. They would not allow you to be involved in any public opinion. In order to protect you and Cao Long, the academy is in a very difficult position. "
Ye Chen's expression eased up slightly.
"So you want to expel my student?"
"Actually, this is a divergence of contradictions. Furthermore, some of the elders want to take the opportunity to take revenge on you, so they want to fire one of your students first to make you feel uncomfortable."
" Oh? "
Ye Chen was stunned.
He thought that he had never offended any elders, so why would anyone want to go against him?
Huangfu said faintly, "I wonder if it is Yuan Qiwen?"
"That's right." Zhi Qiuyang nodded and said.
"Elder Huangfu, what's going on?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"You will know later."
"Who?"
"Yuan Qiwen is Dongfang Yong's sworn brother! "
"I see. That's not surprising."
Ye Chen smiled and nodded. He did not feel scared at all.
Seeing Ye Chen so calm and relaxed, Huangfu smiled with relief. "How is your mission?"
Ye Chen naturally would not say it out loud in front of everyone. Instead, he said to himself telepathically, "I naturally completed the mission easily. After my investigation, the Heavenly Wolf Clan that ate human beings has been completely wiped out."
In fact, Ye Chen had only killed the Heavenly Wolf elites that came to participate in the Thunder tribulation.
The remaining Heavenly Wolf in the tribe were killed by the exotic beast.
Heavenly Wolf King had lifted a stone and smashed it into his own feet.
After that, Ye Chen told Huangfu in detail what had happened.
Huangfu nodded his head approvingly.
"Great! You have completed this mission very well."
"It's all thanks to your guidance."
Ye Chen cupped his hands and said respectfully.
"Hahaha! You actually learned how to flatter." Although Huangfu said so, he was very happy in his heart.
After all, Ye Chen's respect for him could also reflect his extraordinary status.
"Look at the Qi on your body. You should have made great progress this time."
Huangfu frowned. He couldn't see through Ye Chen's cultivation.
Ye Chen smiled mysteriously.
Before he came back, Ye Chen specially retrieved a skill that could conceal his cultivation.
Otherwise, with his speed of improvement, he would definitely cause a huge commotion.
It had only taken him less than a month to break through from the Golden Core to the Soul Formation stage.
While they were chatting happily, Zhi Qiuyang, who was standing at the side, felt very awkward.
"How should I deal with this?"
Ye Chen glared at him. Suddenly, Zhi Qiuyang froze on the spot. Ye Chen's eyes made him fall into fear, and his body unconsciously trembled.
He did not understand why Ye Chen's eyes could be so scary.
In front of him, Zhi Qiuyang seemed to be naked, and his heart turned cold.
Ye Chen did not say a word. His fingers tapped the table rhythmically. No one knew what he was thinking.
But Zhi Qiuyang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Ye Chen said faintly, "Now you immediately withdraw Cao Long's decision to expel him. Is there a problem with this?"
"No problem."
Zhi Qiuyang did not dare to have a problem with that.
If Ye Chen had shown his true strength earlier, he wouldn't have been so stubborn from the beginning.
"I'm leaving." Ye Chen supported Elder Huangfu and was about to leave.
However, Zhi Qiuyang looked like he had something to say, but he didn't dare to say it.
Huangfu smiled. "Chief Zhi, you don't have to be so scared."
"That's good."
Zhi Qiuyang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "I can get rid of Cao Long's decision to expel him, but as his teacher, you have to do something to change the image of the academy. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public."
"If someone is not convinced, ask him to come and find me." Ye Chen said.
Huangfu smiled and said, "We should just do what Chief Zhi said. When the time comes, the reward for completing two missions at the same time will be even more abundant."
"Really?"
Ye Chen asked curiously.
"Of course, I will not lie to you!"
Huangfu said.
"Alright, but you have to give me the reward first."
Ye Chen smiled slyly.
"What do you want?"
"Winter Thorn Grass and Nightmare Vine."
"Is anyone hurt?" Huangfu asked curiously.
"One of my friends is hurt."
"These two herbs are not rare. I'll give them to you for free. What do you want? If you haven't figured it out yet, you can talk about it later. "
" Alright. "
Ye Chen nodded and agreed to the task.
Zhi Qiuyang quickly said, "Recently, exotic beast is running rampant in the east side of the city. Many mercenary groups went to kill them. But they have suffered heavy casualties. It's said that there might be a Soul Formation Stage Beast King in the exotic beast. You can represent the Pingtian Academy to participate, but you don't have to contribute. You can earn some reputation."
"You just need to summarize the details and hand them over to me tomorrow."
After saying that, Ye Chen and Elder Huangfu walked out together.
However, before Zhi Qiuyang could wipe the sweat off his forehead, Ye Chen returned.
"Our class is the poorest, and we don't have many people, so our pay is very tight. Do you plan to use some power for our pay?"
What did this mean?
Is Ye Chen blackmailing us?
