"Come in!"
An old voice rang out. Xiao Yao, who was feeling slightly apprehensive, followed Dan Teng into the most prestigious office of the principal of the Hundred Treasures Academy. Xiao Yao had been on the road for months. He was already used to this kind of combination of East and West. He had even gotten used to it from his initial disgust.
"Principal, I have brought my students!" Dan Teng was the first to enter, and immediately stood off to the side and gave his report. How could he not have the slightest bit of the master's pride?
The dean didn't even raise his head as he looked at the document in his hand. He casually said, "Little Dan, your student this year is really a thorn in the head!"
"Eh? What a familiar voice! "
When Xiao Yao, who had just arrived at the entrance, heard the dean's aged voice, he immediately felt a sense of familiarity within his heart. However, he couldn't recall exactly how he had heard it before.
He would never lower his head easily. On top of that, Xiao Yao, who had entered the Principal's office under the influence of his strange heart, had no scruples in his eyes as he immediately cast his gaze towards the source of the voice.
It was good that he didn't see it. When he did, Xiao Yao was stunned. His expression was even more wonderful than when he saw the white bones in the forest that night. His mind was completely blank.
The dean, who had been carefully observing the dean, didn't notice Xiao Yao's expression. However, the dean, who had been keeping his head down and had a significantly higher level of superpower, seemed to have felt the fluctuations in Xiao Yao's mood. Doubt appeared on his face as he slowly lifted his head.
The dean's speed was just too fast and too sudden. Before Xiao Yao could recover from his shock, the gazes of the old and the young interweaved in the air. The dean was able to immediately recognize Xiao Yao's identity. It wasn't because his memory was good, but because the shallow mark between Xiao Yao's eyebrows was too special.
It was obvious that this aloof Headmaster would not have thought that this youth who had the potential to be the most impudent student in the academy would actually be the youth he had met in the casino.
What kind of grand occasion hadn't they seen someone that could sit on the main road and become the principal of the First Academy? Although the dean's surprise was not the least bit inferior to Xiao Yao's, there was not the slightest ripple on his face. Instead, he shot a glance at Dan Teng, who was at the side, "You can leave first. I want to have a private chat with this little guy …"
"Dean …" Even though he had said those words to Xiao Yao, at this critical moment, he was still a little worried and wanted to plead for leniency. However, he was interrupted the moment he opened his mouth, "I understand what you mean. Let's go!"
"Yes sir!"
Within the Hundred Treasures Academy, the position of Dean determined his commitment. Even the most experienced teacher in the academy would not dare to truly disobey the Dean's orders.
The obviously mistaken Dan Teng looked deeply at Xiao Yao, who had calmed down, before leaving the office with a helpless expression. It was this caring action that made Xiao Yao acknowledge him as a teacher. Later on, his strength had already surpassed Lan Lan, but in front of Dan Teng, he would always be a student.
"Bam!"
After Dan Teng left, the door to the room was shut. However, an old, disrespectful smile suddenly appeared on the Headmaster's calm face as he said, "Little fellow, lying is not a good habit. Didn't you say at that time that you were a student of the Hundred Treasures Academy?"
"That's right, I'm not a student of the Hundred Treasures Academy. I'm afraid of that bastard!"
The dean's first sentence immediately calmed Xiao Yao, who was actually nervous inside. He realized a grave mistake. That was him, who was in the gambling den at that time, and indeed not someone from the Hundred Treasures Academy. However, even if he wasn't, it didn't mean that some people weren't. Thinking of this, a trace of a malicious smile appeared on Xiao Yao's face.
Even with the principal's decades of experience, he was still stunned by Xiao Yao's sudden smile. He had a bad premonition in his heart: "Little brat, why are you smiling so evilly? Don't you know that according to the academy's rules, one must be expelled for gambling?
"That's right. As long as he is involved in the gamble, he will be expelled. I wonder who was so wise to make such a rule. I wonder if this rule will be binding on the dean?" After understanding everything, Xiao Yao sat down on the chair in front of the dean.
Having been in a high position for so many years, the dean had almost forgotten about the matter of the Son of Heaven committing the same crime as the commoners. Finally realizing the problem, the dean's face trembled. With a slightly threatening tone, he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Yao, who had lived two lifetimes, might not be as experienced as this old fogey, the Principal, but he was not a fool. He knew that the Principal only threatened him verbally and did not dare to do anything to him.
"Principal, you seem to have committed an extremely serious problem. At that time, I was indeed not a student of the Hundred Treasures Academy, so no matter how strict the academy's rules are, it should be impossible to tell what I was doing before entering the academy!" Besides, if you don't go to the casino, how would you know that a new student like me has been there? "
At this time, Xiao Yao was more like a boss who was negotiating with other gangsters than a hooligan. After all, Xiao Yao had seen too many of these things on Earth, even the stupidest person could figure it out.
Originally, when the dean saw Xiao Yao, he didn't want to expel him. After all, he didn't have much use for him. He just wanted Xiao Yao to be embarrassed for a moment, and in the end, to show him all the grace he had. He wanted to cure this academy, which had the potential to become the most thorny of academies.
However, the dean had never expected that he would be caught by Xiao Yao in the end. Instead, he had been made a fool of, because the dean also knew that even though Xiao Yao had great authority, the bet was actually the work of the academy's guards.
"Pah!"
The dean's face turned ashen as he felt the provocation on his authority. He slammed his hand on his desk and stood up. His white hair stood on end as he asked, "Do you think anyone will believe your words?"
However, Xiao Yao turned a blind eye to the dean's anger, and said with a confident manner: "Since no one believes you, why do you need to be so angry? You are porcelain and I am clay pot! "
That's right, no matter how the punishment was imposed, Xiao Yao would at most be expelled. As long as he wanted it, he could at least come back next year or go to another academy to register. But an old man who was the head of a courtyard? At the very least, he would have to endure a lot of public opinion. The intelligence and eloquence that Xiao Yao had displayed caused the dean, who had only intended to suppress him once, to raise an eyebrow.
After pondering for a moment, the dean's expression once again exceeded Xiao Yao's expectations. In an instant, it returned to normal, "Alright, I can pretend that today's incident did not happen. However, I also want to hear the same thing once!"
In the academy, the headmaster who was famous for speaking of principles, even the leaders of some countries did not give him face actually made a compromise! Moreover, it was a compromise in front of a student who had just entered the academy on the second day. If other teachers were to see this, their first reaction would definitely be, "Does the dean have a fever?"
The Headmaster, who had been incomparably powerful just a moment ago, suddenly spoke in such an easy manner that Xiao Yao was somewhat surprised. However, he still asked without any trace, "Lord Headmaster, what are you saying? Have we met before?"
Seeing Xiao Yao act in such a manner, the dean's mouth twitched, revealing a tacit understanding smile: "Hurry up and f * ck off. Tomorrow, school will start and class properly. If you do something rash for me, be careful or I won't be polite!"
Intelligent people would grasp the measure of advancing and retreating. Seeing that the expected result had been achieved, Xiao Yao directly jumped down from the table, not intending to advance an inch further. After all, Xiao Yao still needed to live in the academy for four years. Killing a chicken to reap its egg was the actions of a fool.
However, after hearing the lesson, Xiao Yao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Superpower master, I wonder when I will be able to reach this realm. The inheritance of the clan, the bet with that shrew, and also … "And the cave at the back of the mountain, I wonder what level of strength is needed to be able to enter and explore."
This was also the first time since Xiao Yao arrived on the road to superpower that a desire for strength appeared. This was also the first sign of the arrival of a major turning point in his life.
Thinking of the mountain behind the academy, Xiao Yao suddenly blurted out, "Dean, has anyone died in the forest behind the mountain?"
"Dead? We old geezers will periodically enter the forest to clean up the strange beasts. Even the more ferocious wild beasts will be expelled by us.
Xiao Yao nodded at the dean who was blowing his hair and glaring eyes at him. He said goodbye to him and turned around to leave. However, his mind was rapidly thinking about everything he had seen that night.
Staring at Xiao Yao's back in confusion, the dean, who hadn't been humiliated for a long time, unhappily rolled his eyes. However, out of the corner of his eyes, he was scanning the information on the table. The name on it was Xiao Yao.
After Xiao Yao left for a long time, the dean thoughtfully muttered to himself, "Five kinds of special abilities?" Could that legend be true? "
