Chapter 104: A Slap on the Face đź‘‹

Published: November 30, -0001

Seeing Chen Zhuo frowning and looking behind him frequently, Chen Zhuo's heart sank like it had fallen into an ice cellar.

It’s over, it’s over, Deacon Li is definitely furious.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Zhuo raised his voice, "Deacon Li, this is what happened. Today, while I was cultivating in the awakening room, I suddenly heard noises from next door. When I came out to check, I found three brats had illegally entered the President’s awakening room, and they are students I once taught at Tianxing Academy!"

"You taught them?" Li Wenyu interrupted him, his voice heavy.

His serious gaze made Chen Zhuo feel even more uneasy, and with a tingling scalp, he hurriedly said, "Deacon Li, please let me explain. Although I had taught these people, such a serious matter would I dare to ignore? I stopped the three of them immediately and interrogated them severely, only to discover that it was indeed our bloodline holy land's staff who had violated regulations and brought them in without permission. This kind of behavior is absolutely lawless. I suggest we first detain these three in the criminal hall of our bloodline holy land and let the law enforcement hall intervene for thorough interrogation to see if someone in our bloodline holy land is abusing power for personal gain."

Chen Zhuo harshly reprimanded, expressing his stance with righteous indignation.

Then he turned around and shouted, "Lin Tian, Zhang Ying, Qin Chen, you three better hurry over here to explain the situation to Deacon Li Wenyu and plead for mercy. Do you really want to wait until heads roll before you realize your mistakes?"

"Impudent!"

After hearing this, Li Wenyu's face darkened like a pot bottom.

Interrogate whom? Who does Chen Zhuo want to interrogate?

And to ask Chen Shao to come over to apologize and plead for mercy, even mentioning heads rolling.

My heavens!

For Chen Shao to enter the President's awakening room, that was a direct order from the President. Is Chen Zhuo tired of living?

Moreover, from what Chen Zhuo said, it seemed he had already had some conflict with Chen Shao. No wonder so many people gathered here; I seem to have heard arguing when I came over.

Oh, so it was all this Chen Zhuo's doing.

Anger flared up in his heart like a volcanic eruption, instantly uncontrollable.

Smack!

A loud slap directly struck him, causing half of Chen Zhuo's face to swell up instantly.

Explain the situation? Who do you want to explain it to? I think it’s you who should be begging for mercy!"

The President had just reminded him yesterday that the next time he saw Chen Shao, he must maintain a proper attitude, yet Chen Zhuo had completely offended him.

If Chen Shao got angry and didn’t come to the bloodline holy land anymore, who would bear the blame?

Could it be him, Chen Zhuo? Even if he wanted to bear it, he should see if he could handle it!

"Deacon Li, I—"

Chen Zhuo covered his face, looking dazed.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Wenyu walk past him and quickly approach Qin Chen, his stern expression turning instantly warm and sunny: "Haha, Chen Shao, what wind blew you here today? You came to my bloodline holy land without notifying me, so I could personally come to welcome you!"

Li Wenyu had a beaming smile, his demeanor as warm as if he were greeting a leader.

Huh?

Chen Zhuo's mouth dropped open, his eyes nearly popping out.

What in the world is happening?

How could the esteemed Deacon Li treat Qin Chen so courteously?

Chen Zhuo was about to faint.

"A small matter, I didn’t want to disturb Deacon Li."

"Chen Shao, you say this, but you are a distinguished guest of our bloodline holy land." Glancing at the open awakening room door, Chen Zhuo smiled, "Are you also here to use the awakening room this time? It's a pity that the President isn’t here today, otherwise, he would definitely come personally. He said that if you came again, you must notify him."

"I appreciate the President’s kindness."

Watching the calm interaction between Qin Chen and Li Wenyu, Chen Zhuo was completely stunned. He realized he might have made a serious mistake.
