Chapter 207 The Accomplished Little White Crane
Xiang Beifei watched Hou Chengwu thoughtfully, and after a long pause, he laughed, "So you don't know Liangzhou University's Professor Luo! Let me tell you about him."
He pointed at the old man who was cheerfully oblivious nearby and introduced him with all seriousness, "Back in the day, our Liangzhou University's Professor Luo, bearing the responsibility of the Chief Commander of the Jiuzhou Alliance, led countless martial artists to valiantly resist the invading beast tide, turned the tide, and repelled the onslaught! He's an upright and just individual who once executed an SSR-ranked person on the battlefield for being arrogant, disobeying orders, and breaking the rules! Have you ever heard of what my master did?"
Xiang Beifei looked at Hou Chengwu with an unfazed expression.
"What? The Chief Commander? And he killed an SSR?"
Hou Chengwu was shocked and looked at Professor Luo in horror!
The title of Chief Commander signified enormous strength, suitable only for the most potent individuals!
And indeed, he had never heard of this past event; Ren Jianghai had never mentioned it to him! To be honest, many people weren't even aware of Elder Luo killing the SSR!
Hou Chengwu, being an SSR himself, looked down on those with lesser system talents, since his own future was bright, allowing him to command the wind and summon the rain.
That's why he dared to accept the advantages offered by Liangzhou University and then reject their invitation to enroll, knowing that as an SSR, he could break the rules and go back on his promises without Liangzhou University holding him accountable!
But he never expected that the SR-ranked Professor he had offended would dare to kill an SSR, especially one who had broken the rules?
"Seeing your reaction, you must not have heard of it. The once awe-inspiring figure of the Jiuzhou Alliance is standing right before you, and you've never even heard of his past deeds. Do you have the face to yell and shout here? My master has always despised anyone who doesn't follow the rules, who is fickle and faithless. A person like that, no matter how high their SSR talent, is useless! Fellow student, wouldn't you agree?"
Xiang Beifei spoke very casually.
But each word was a warning to Hou Chengwu, mocking and threatening him!
Because the person he described as fickle and faithless was none other than Hou Chengwu!
Hou Chengwu gasped in fright and continued to stare at Professor Luo, utterly terrified!
He wasn't a fool and understood very well that Xiang Beifei was indirectly admonishing him. As an SSR, he had been conceited since his awakening ceremony, full of arrogance, not taking anyone else seriously.
Back when Professor Luo was making a name for himself on the battlefield, he was just an ignorant kid. Now that Professor Luo had retired and was no longer a dean, merely an idle security guard, he had even less reason to know about the professor's past.
Now, with Xiang Beifei's reminder, his entire body was drenched in a cold sweat.
Yes, he was an SSR, but—the person Professor Luo killed was an SSR too! Moreover, an SSR who broke the rules, just like his actions!
That... that would mean...
Hou Chengwu's breathing changed, sweat pouring down, and he involuntarily took two steps back, watching Professor Luo with a look of horror!
----
Elder Luo was delighted, thinking to himself, "My Little White Crane is on the right track, oh so perfectly on track!"
He practically wanted to hoist Xiang Beifei up high in celebration.
Last time in August, he hadn't fully grasped Xiang Beifei's talent, so when he recruited the N-ranked Xiang Beifei, he was ridiculed by other universities' recruiters and couldn't prove his point of view, which was frustrating.
But today, Xiang Beifei's words not only bashed Ren Jianghai but also warned the self-entitled Hou Chengwu, clearly aiming to vent his feelings.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
He spoke bluntly, leaving Ren Jianghai swallowing bitterness.
The threat and warning left Hou Chengwu both terrified and apprehensive!
Although Elder Luo wouldn't seriously kill someone for the kind of unethical behavior displayed by Hou Chengwu, in his eyes, it amounted to the naïveté of an ignorant brat, not a capital offense, but Elder Luo was thrilled!
His disciple had stood up for him; how could he not feel gratified?
Ye Changfeng also couldn't help but smile.
"This kid, the way he talks and acts, seems never to have suffered a loss," he said.
Ye Changfeng was usually sensible and proper since, as a university professor, he couldn't be too impulsive in his actions or words.
But Xiang Beifei was less constrained. After all, he was already an N-ranked nobody, criticized by many, so he spoke his mind freely. If Ren Jianghai dared to trouble Xiang Beifei, the protective Little White Crane at his side would immediately spread his wings.
Opposite them, Ren Jianghai, who had known Elder Luo for many years, was well aware of the latter's temper. Usual snide remarks here and there wouldn't prompt Elder Luo to act; the old man might be a bit rough but wouldn't touch the bottom line and would at most curse a bit.
But if he, as an elder, attacked his junior, he would have no ground to stand on; Elder Luo, on the other hand, had no such qualms. He was more than willing to find a pretext to give Ren Jianghai a good thrashing! Ren Jianghai would surely be beaten so badly in full view of everyone that he'd doubt his life choices.
By then, the reputation of Ren Jianghai from Qingzhou University's Martial Arts College would be truly tarnished beyond recovery.
Ren Jianghai's expression was one of anger, his attempt to mock Liangzhou University had backfired because of Xiang Beifei's rebuke, and he felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
What he couldn't accept even more was that his talented SSR student, Hou Chengwu, had been frightened into paleness by a mere N-ranked Xiang Beifei's words.
What do you think?
