14: Chapter 14 Resurrect, my love!

"No!! Teacher Zhou Yi! My love!"

Just at this moment, Teacher Fan Yu—the incompetent husband—arrived fashionably late!

Letting out a roar that shook the heavens and moved the earth, Teacher Fan Yu's eyes were bloodshot and he was panting like an ox, about to fiercely attack Lin Yan, who was still using Teacher Zhou Yi's face as a footrest.

However, Teacher Fan Yu's shrill scream also jolted everyone present back to their senses.

"Enough!"

"Stop! Teacher Fan Yu!"

Seeing that Teacher Fan Yu was about to make a move against Lin Yan, Principal Yan Shaozhe felt his heart tighten and immediately moved to stop him, but someone was even faster than he was!

Elder Xuan, who was standing in mid-air and gnawing on a chicken leg, stopped eating his chicken leg and struck first.

No, he kicked first!

Elder Xuan's figure flashed, blocking Teacher Fan Yu's path, and he raised his foot to kick.

With a muffled "bang", Teacher Fan Yu immediately spat a torrent of blood three zhang high and was sent flying backward.

Meanwhile, Elder Xuan, who had kicked Teacher Fan Yu away, took a bite of his chicken leg as if nothing had happened and muttered, "Shrek's glory... Get lost, Soul Tool Department..."

Seeing Elder Xuan directly kick Teacher Fan Yu away in front of everyone, and then glancing at Vice Dean Qian Duoduo and the others whose faces were gradually turning ugly, Director Du Weilun quickly stepped out to control the situation.

"Stop looking, all of you get back to class immediately!"

Seeing Director Du Weilun begin to disperse the surrounding crowd, Lin Yan did not stop him either.

After all, the main purpose of his action this time was to showcase his talent to Shrek, not to genuinely "wreak havoc at the academy".

Of course, there were many ways to showcase talent, and he did not deny that the reason he chose this most direct method was simply because he found that old hag Teacher Zhou Yi displeasing to the eye and wanted to "spar a bit" with her.

Otherwise, if one had to hold in their displeasure before Cultivating and still hold it in after Cultivating, wouldn't all that Cultivation have been for nothing?!

Furthermore, he simply didn't believe that Shrek's higher-ups were truly completely unaware of the damned things Teacher Zhou Yi had done.

It was just that Teacher Zhou Yi had previously maintained some sense of propriety, never provoking descendants of truly top-tier factions, and coupled with being shielded by Teacher Fan Yu, a Spirit Douluo and Grade 8 Soul Engineer, no one was willing to actively go looking for trouble with her.

Yet now, Teacher Zhou Yi was incompetent herself, and had been stepped on underfoot by him, a Spirit Elder, in front of the entire academy.

Combined with the fact that all her past wicked deeds had been brought out into the open, no matter how one looked at it, Shrek could not possibly make things difficult for Lin Yan for the sake of such a "trash".

Depending on the situation, if Shrek's subsequent regard for him was high enough, Lin Yan might even be able to make a bit of a fuss over the matter!

With Director Du Weilun, the director of teaching, speaking up, the onlookers from the outer courtyard quickly dispersed.

Although the people had scattered, the impact of this incident was rapidly fermenting and spreading.

And today, Lin Yan's upright figure, resembling an emperor of fire, was deeply branded into the hearts of everyone present like an insurmountable peak.

...

"... At that time, Teacher Zhou Yi had her true face exposed by me, and out of anger and embarrassment, she took the lead in attacking me inside the classroom, threatening to cripple my Cultivation. For self-preservation, I could only invite her to battle outside, and whatever happened afterward is what you saw."

After the people from the outer courtyard dispersed, Director Du Weilun sent people to carry away Teacher Zhou Yi and Teacher Fan Yu, who were "sleeping" very peacefully, presumably to be taken away for treatment.

As for Lin Yan, he was naturally called over by Principal Yan Shaozhe to inquire about the ins and outs of the matter.

Although Lin Yan had also wanted to take the opportunity to completely finish off Teacher Zhou Yi just now, he understood that with Principal Yan Shaozhe and the others watching on the scene, it was completely impossible.

Regardless of the reason, if someone were directly killed in broad daylight, it would be equivalent to throwing Shrek's face on the ground and trampling on it.

However, Lin Yan was someone whose memory had always been quite good; once the limelight of this matter passed, if Teacher Zhou Yi tucked her head in and acted like a coward, so be it.

If she still dared to jump around recklessly, Lin Yan had already booked a ticket to the Netherworld for her in advance!

Looking at Lin Yan, who was putting on an innocent expression, Principal Yan Shaozhe rubbed his temples with a headache.

Although he hadn't had time to investigate and verify yet, he knew clearly in his heart that what Lin Yan said was most likely eight or nine parts true.

Because he had previously heard a bit about Teacher Zhou Yi's actions, but in his view, those were all insignificant "trivial matters", so he had never taken them to heart.

"Principal Yan, with a teacher like Teacher Zhou Yi in the academy, along with her husband who is full of murderous intent toward me, I truly dare not stay here any longer. Later, I'll go pack my things and process my withdrawal. I heard that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is currently recruiting a son-in-law, so I want to go try my luck there."

This was the Thirty-Six Stratagems' "playing hard to get"; as the ancients said: To desire to take it, one must first give it up.

Although his purpose in coming to Shrek was to pull investments, this matter had to be done strategically and systematically.

Coming straight out and saying "I am here to join you" would only lower one's own value.

Sure enough, hearing that Lin Yan was "disillusioned" with Shrek and wanted to leave, Principal Yan Shaozhe instantly became anxious!

"Little Lin, may I call you that?"

"Don't be in a hurry about this matter yet. Once the academy investigates and clarifies, if it's truly as you said, the academy will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"As for safety issues, rest assured. I guarantee to you in the name of the principal that during this period, absolutely no one will dare to harm a single hair on your head."

Seeing Principal Yan Shaozhe's attitude, Lin Yan put on a hesitant appearance, paused for a moment, and said, "Alright then, I believe the academy will handle this impartially, right?"

Principal Yan Shaozhe nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes. The academy will definitely handle it impartially, and once investigated, we will never let any black sheep off!"

Seeing Principal Yan Shaozhe's reaction and such a prime opportunity, Lin Yan of course couldn't just let it go at that.

When he beat up Teacher Zhou Yi, didn't that consume physical strength and Soul Power?

If he didn't take this opportunity to ask for some compensation, how could he justify it!

Lin Yan's face first lit up with joy, but then immediately fell: "Principal Yan, since you said it will be handled impartially, I am also willing to trust you and the academy."

"However, today I was first publicly insulted and threatened by Teacher Zhou Yi, and then hunted down by her, almost getting my Cultivation crippled. Thinking about it now still leaves lingering fear, and I'll probably have nightmares tonight."

"My soul has suffered such a severe trauma, so the academy surely has corresponding compensation measures for this, right?"

"I'm not greedy either; just casually give me some things like Immortal Plants, a 100,000-year Spirit Bone, a Level 9 spirit tool... or something like that?"

Looking at Lin Yan in front of him who was completely unscathed with slightly dirty clothing hems, and then thinking of Teacher Zhou Yi who was still heavily injured, unconscious, and whose life or death was uncertain at this moment.

Hearing Lin Yan recite a string of priceless treasures as if reading off a menu of dishes, even with Principal Yan Shaozhe's Heart-Nature, he almost couldn't hold back his breath.

He wanted to speak but stopped, and stopped then wanted to speak again.

As a veteran iron rooster, master of drawing big pictures, and PUA expert, Principal Yan Shaozhe found that squeezing things out of his hands—especially such precious treasures—was practically more painful than killing him.

Seeing Principal Yan Shaozhe's expression shift, obviously holding back no good intentions, he guessed that the man was probably plotting how to bake big pancakes right now.

Although Lin Yan had indeed beaten up Teacher Zhou Yi to the point of hunger, he definitely didn't want to eat the empty promises drawn by Principal Yan Shaozhe, so he hurriedly pressed on, "Principal Yan, the academy doesn't not have them, right?"

"If you don't have them, then I might as well go take a look at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; maybe there is some 'sacred medicine for healing wounds' there that can soothe my soul."

"I'm told that the young Sect Master of this generation of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is also an absolute beauty; seems her name is Ning Tian?"

Seeing Lin Yan's restless and eager expression, it looked not at all like he was faking it.

Principal Yan Shaozhe completely broke down, roaring internally: Where is your backbone? Where is your pride as a Genius? Why are you thinking about eating soft rice all day long!?

However, at this moment he also understood that it seemed impossible for him not to bleed a little today. In case this brat really ran off to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the duck that had reached his mouth would truly fly away.

To prevent Lin Yan from making another exorbitant demand, Principal Yan Shaozhe quickly squeezed out a forced smile: "We have them, of course we do."

"Once the matter is clarified, the academy will definitely compensate you."

"However, you yourself should also be clear that the things you just mentioned are simply unrealistic! Unless you can fully join the academy, it is utterly impossible otherwise."

Hearing this, Lin Yan's eyes lit up. Judging from Principal Yan Shaozhe's meaning, as long as he joined the academy, it wasn't impossible for him to get those treasures?!
