171: Chapter 171 Tang Long's Dismissal

There were two possibilities.

The first was that His Highness had failed, and everything had been covered up by the High Priest.

If that were the case, the old guy would definitely have sensed some of his intentions, and it would be strange if he didn't fly into a rage. Either he would have had Lv Yang trick him into coming back, or he would have sent someone to find him; it shouldn't have been this quiet.

The second was that His Highness had succeeded, and the people of The Sect were suppressing the news.

If the High Priest died suddenly without a clear successor, the situation would be complicated.

After thinking it over, Tang Long decided to return to the city immediately and see for himself.

At worst, he would just die once!

Entering the city, he went straight to The Cathedral.

Outside the cathedral, he was immediately stopped and questioned by the Red-robed Guards.

"Stop right there. Who are you, and how dare you barge into the Red God Cathedral?"

Tang Long answered straightforwardly, "Bishop Lu asked me to come see him."

"Bishop Lu summoned you?" The guard looked surprised. "Name?"

"Tang Long."

The guard immediately turned to go inside and report.

Taking advantage of this time, Tang Long activated Fire Eye to scan quickly.

Soon, he found the most dazzling divine fire, and he also found the High Priest.

The High Priest was still sitting on the altar.

But his state... to be honest, Tang Long couldn't quite understand it.

The spiritual light within the High Priest was still extremely dazzling; so far, he was definitely the brightest.

However, his heart was no longer beating. Within that blinding red spiritual light, one could vaguely see some blue and white traces, as if... another type of spiritual energy had just passed through it, leaving behind indelible marks.

Lv Yang, that old friend, was currently beneath the altar, not knowing what he was saying to the High Priest.

Then... the spiritual energy inside the High Priest suddenly became completely chaotic. He suddenly burst into manic laughter, made a grimace, and then did a one-handed handstand.

At the same time, he actually unbuckled his pants, took out his manhood, and started peeing on the divine fire.

This high-difficulty and extremely blasphemous action stunned both Tang Long and Lv Yang.

At this moment, the manic laughter that appeared on his face felt bizarre to Tang Long, and it also felt familiar.

It was the Mad God!

Tang Long immediately recalled that scene when the seal was broken; the Mad God was suppressed by the giant red eye, and then smashed his own head against it, exploding into ten thousand rays of divine light.

Could it be that the High Priest had been possessed by him since then?

It didn't take long for the guard to return, and it was indeed the same reply.

"Bishop Lu is busy with official business and has no time to see you now. Please return!"

Tang Long nodded and turned to leave.

Regardless of whether the High Priest was considered alive or dead now, he definitely had a major problem.

Even if it wasn't possession by the Mad God, he was definitely being controlled or influenced by the Mad God.

Therefore, he wouldn't be targeted next; knowing this was enough for now.

After sending a message to Mad Dog, he returned directly to the library dormitory. After showering and changing his clothes, he arrived at class just in time.

As soon as he sat down, Sun Jian leaned over and whispered a warning.

"Be careful, something is wrong today."

"Oh?"

"First thing this morning, I saw old He whispering with Young Master Wei. I vaguely heard them mention your name, and they seemed to be talking about expulsion? Then, old He went and sent the class monitor away."

"Expel me?"

Tang Long wanted to laugh, but he was also a bit curious.

Why was Wei Lin targeting him again? Hadn't Young Master Ye not broken his leg yet? Could he predict the future?

Besides, what grounds did he have to expel him?

Soon, the class bell rang. He Youzhi walked in with a long face and slammed his teaching materials heavily onto the podium.

"Students, as everyone knows, our First Specialized Academy is an outstanding institution, always famous for its school spirit and discipline!"

"But I have recently discovered that some students in this class have actually relied on their connections to commit numerous acts of disregarding the law and discipline!"

"For such behavior, this school will never show leniency! This class will also never tolerate it!"

"Tang Long, stand up!"

Tang Long stood up in response, but couldn't help but want to laugh.

It felt... they were really direct. But to target him at such a time, the timing they chose was truly something else.

"Stop smiling at me! I ask you, have you participated in gambling or betting at the Hot-Blooded Arena recently?"

Tang Long nodded honestly, "Yes."

"Article 3, Section 6 of the school code strictly prohibits students from participating in gambling. Article 3, Section 9 strictly prohibits students from participating in gambling-related arena matches. Have you turned a deaf ear to these two rules?"

Tang Long was speechless.

Logically speaking, yes, he had violated the rules.

Although many people violated this school code, like Qin Bing, who would stay there for months at a time.

But once someone used it as a charge, it held up.

"Also, since you enrolled, you have been listless and have skipped classes almost every day. Yesterday, you were nowhere to be seen for the whole day. Is this school your home!"

On this point, Tang Long couldn't refute it.

As long as one was a serious student, one really shouldn't skip classes.

What they said was correct.

"In summary! I have reported your situation to the school leadership! Punishment measures will be approved soon!"

"Now, get out of the door!"

Tang Long shrugged and walked straight out.

At this moment, He Youzhi's phone rang, and he hurriedly ran out.

Two minutes later, he arrived in front of the principal's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

He Youzhi immediately put on a fawning smile and pushed the door in.

Seeing Principal Wang Dong about to light a cigarette, he hurriedly took out a lighter and stepped forward to light it for him.

"Principal, you wanted to see me."

Principal Wang Dong raised the report in his hand and threw it in front of him.

"What is going on?"

"Oh, Principal, this student is really too terrible, I have no choice. Look at him, gambling and skipping classes, seriously violating school rules and discipline."

"What's a big deal about violating discipline? Is it worth suggesting expulsion? I saw his recommendation letter, it still has connections to the Civil Affairs Department. Have you considered this?"

He Youzhi turned back to push the door shut, then leaned in closer and whispered.

"Principal Wang, there are some situations you don't know yet. This is the intention of our class's Young Master Wei."

Principal Wang Dong frowned, "The one from Deputy Director Wei's family? Do they have... a conflict?"

"More than a conflict! This Tang Long doesn't know his place, he actually has bad intentions towards School Director Jiang's daughter."

"Ah!"

Principal Wang Dong was so shocked that he stood up directly, and the cigarette ash shook off.

"Did anything happen?"

He Youzhi replied quickly, "It should be fine for now. But if this continues, it's hard to say in the future. Principal Wang, that kid... his height and appearance are indeed attractive to girls. At their age, don't you understand?"

Principal Wang Dong nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, indeed. Little He, you did a great job on this matter. Your vigilance is very high, and you discovered it very timely. Otherwise, if something happens later, we might all be in big trouble."

"It's all thanks to your usual guidance, I only learned a little bit."

Principal Wang Dong immediately picked up his pen and signed the punishment report directly.

"Such a black sheep should be expelled! Go back immediately and make that brat get lost!"

"Yes! Then I will take my leave."

He Youzhi bowed and scraped, and quickly rushed back to the class.

Returning to the podium, he held the report high and showed it to everyone.

"After careful consideration by the school leadership, regarding student Tang Long's many serious disciplinary violations, the penalty of immediate expulsion from the school is imposed! I hope all of you will take this as a warning!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole class was in an uproar.

"Damn, no way!"

"Really expelled? Is it worth it?"

"Why wouldn't it be worth it? I've found him an eyesore for a long time."

"Heh, whether you find him an eyesore doesn't matter, the key is that Young Master Wei finds him an eyesore. Young Master Wei's father is the Deputy Director of the Academic Affairs Department, the principal's direct superior, you all know."

"That's right! You guys don't know yet, last night that Lu Xiaohu actually dared to snatch Young Master Wei's things."

"There's such a thing? What does this have to do with Tang Long?"

"Stupid! Lu Xiaohu is Tang Long's follower, if not for Tang Long's instigation, would he do that?"

"If you put it that way, then it makes sense."

"I don't think it's that simple. Tang Long is the Bone-melting Enchantress's boy toy, has a good relationship with the class monitor, and has been invited by the White Clothing Society, it might not just end like this."

The students were all chattering, and Wei Lin was both venting his anger and smug, feeling particularly satisfied.

And Tang Long outside the door, hearing the result, turned and left without hesitation.

He had been busy all night and hadn't even eaten yet.

Time to get something good to treat himself.
