54: Chapter 54 The head of the Li family!

Everyone: "..."

Principal, do you even hear what you're saying?

Good grief.

Getting beaten up?!

Who would dare beat up the Commander?!

Nearby, a young man looked at the Principal. "Principal, didn't you mean to ask if the Commander beat up anyone else?"

Heh!

Li Peng looked at them and let out a chuckle. What happened to these youngsters after a trip to the Purgatory Training Camp?

They had become so silly.

Could they not even hear properly anymore?

Ye Qing beating up others?

It would be lucky if he wasn't the one being beaten.

And besides, what did they mean by that word just now?

Commander?

Who is your Commander?

Aren't you all the presidents of your own clubs?

I was asking if Ye Qing got beaten up."

"No, but those Scions of Prominent Families were certainly beaten up by him!"

"Principal, it seems you have no understanding of the Commander's strength."

After saying this, the several students began to recount every detail of their time in the Purgatory Training Camp to Xu Bing and Li Peng.

The two listened; at first they sat, then they stood.

Eventually, they were nearly listening on their knees.

What was all this?!

What on earth happened in these short two days?!

Ye Qing took all the Prodigies of the Purgatory Training Camp under his command?

And!

He even tamed a Giant Tiger!

He slew a Middle Stage Rank-Breaking Taotie Giant Lizard!

Moreover, he even collected its beast soul!

And practiced Alchemy...

Even the early conclusion of the Purgatory Training Camp was largely related to Ye Qing!

...

My God!

By the end of the story, Li Peng and Xu Bing's eyes were wide with shock, unable to believe what they were hearing.

If they hadn't known these youngsters wouldn't lie to them, they would have thought they were joking.

"Wait, according to what you said, Ye Qing should have returned long ago riding that Giant Tiger. Why are you all back, but he isn't?"

Xu Bing was also puzzled.

"I don't know, the Commander might have been delayed by something on the way."

As they spoke, the Principal's secretary suddenly pushed the door open and entered!

"Principal, Principal! Ye Qing is back, and he brought a Giant Tiger with him!"

Hearing that anxious voice, Li Peng stood up.

Looking at the secretary, he said, "Don't panic. What's the rush? Come, let's go take a look."

He really managed to pull off that calm facade.

The students and Xu Bing looked at Li Peng's behavior and felt helpless. Good grief, Principal, you're the real master of acting cool.

If we hadn't seen how shocked you were just now, we might have actually believed you.

"Let's go!"

A moment later, at the school gate.

Many students had gathered there, chattering away quite noisily.

Ye Qing was directing everyone to transport the crystal cores to his dormitory.

Li Peng looked over and spotted the Giant Tiger they had mentioned!

This!

A Six-Winged White Tiger!

What kind of exotic beast is this?!

Even with Li Peng's vast experience, he didn't recognize it, but its Aura and appearance were terrifying enough!

"Alright, alright! Everyone, make way!"

Li Peng spoke up, clearing a path through the crowd.

"Ye Qing, good lad. I just heard about your exploits in the Purgatory Training Camp from them. You really know how to stir things up!"

"Principal," Ye Qing greeted him.

Li Peng reached out, intending to pat Ye Qing on the shoulder.

Grrr!

But then, the Six-Winged Sky Tiger crouched low, looking as if it would attack the moment Li Peng's hand landed.

This stance made Li Peng immediately withdraw his hand.

"Ye Qing, this beast of yours..."

"I tamed it. I feel like I could just leave it here at the school gate!" Ye Qing said. Looking at the Six-Winged Sky Tiger's size, it was too massive; keeping it outside was just right.

It would be too inconvenient to have it around the dormitories.

"Is... is that okay?"

Li Peng's heart skipped a beat. If this Giant Tiger stayed at the school gate, it would look incredibly domineering.

"But, will it hurt people?"

Hearing Li Peng's concern, Ye Qing waved his hand. "Come on, Tiger, show them a trick."

At Ye Qing's command, the Six-Winged Sky Tiger performed a backflip on the spot.

Li Peng: "..."

Fine, I believe you. Put away your Divine Ability now.

"Alright, you stay here and guard!"

After Ye Qing finished speaking, the Six-Winged Sky Tiger lay down at the school gate.

It was like a Divine Beast guarding the Southern Heaven Gate!

Incredibly majestic!

In an instant, the entire school's prestige seemed to rise significantly!

Those who knew would call it Jinling University; those who didn't might think they'd arrived at Imperial Capital University!

Li Peng looked on, chest puffed out, sharing in the glory!

After Ye Qing tidied up for a while,

He went to a welcome-back banquet with Zheng Jia and the others.

Meanwhile.

At the entrance of the Li family residence.

Li Xiao had just finished his duties at the Military Department. After submitting reports to the Jinling Military Department and the Sucheng Military Department,

He finally found some free time.

He prepared to give the wine he had requested from Ye Qing to his father.

He looked up at the old residence, which resembled a prince's manor.

With its carved beams and painted rafters, the pillars and structures were all made of the finest Materials.

"I have to say, Dad really is someone who stayed in the Imperial Capital Military Department; he brought that Imperial architectural style all the way to Jinling."

"How magnificent!"

"If Dad hadn't been injured, he would probably have a solid foothold in the Imperial Capital Military Department by now."

Li Xiao lamented; the Old Master's strength and experience were far greater than his own.

He pushed open the door and entered.

Once inside, it was quite lively.

Many family heads were gathered there, drinking tea and chatting.

The Old Master sat at the head, dressed in a long white robe. His hair and beard were completely white, but his eyes were sharp as a hawk's. He exuded an Aura of righteousness; just sitting there, he was immensely dignified.

Among the various family heads of Jinling, he was in a class of his own in terms of presence.

Li Zhenhai looked at Li Xiao and blinked. "Why are you back at this time? Weren't you supposed to be leading the Purgatory Training Camp?"

"Yes, but the Purgatory Training Camp ended early, so I came back first."

The Purgatory Training Camp ended early?

Li Zhenhai narrowed his eyes. This was unprecedented. It seemed there must have been some special circumstances, but since some of the family heads present weren't from the military, it wasn't appropriate to ask now.

Li Xiao also knew that military matters shouldn't be discussed in front of these people, so he walked over.

"Young Xiao, it's rare for you to be free today. Why not join us old bones for a few drinks?" The head of the Yu Family changed the subject, and Li Xiao nodded. "Of course."

"Good. It just so happens I brought some fine wine today. Everyone should have a taste later."

"I don't think we need to go to all that trouble. Isn't there some right here? Why use the wine you brought?" Old Master Li pointed at the wine in Li Xiao's hand.

Hearing this, Li Xiao's brow twitched involuntarily, and he quickly shot a meaningful look at the Old Master.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Li Xiao spoke up. "Old Master, this wine definitely isn't as good as Uncle Yu's. I think we should drink Uncle Yu's first."
