114: Shame, shame, loss of face

At this moment, Professor Gu Xinrou was utterly bewildered, her eyes glazed over.

She completely failed to understand why, in the middle of the night, these teachers weren't resting and sleeping, but instead were lying sprawled out all over the place outside.

Even her own brother, Gu Changfeng, was squatting to the side, whispering with Shen Bei.

What was going on?

The teachers who were busy cleaning up the mess all spoke with envious eyes and slightly sour tones:

"Teacher Gu's teaching level truly puts us to shame."

"Excellent, truly excellent!"

"Indeed, in such a short time, she has nurtured such a dominant student."

"Wait a moment—don't rush to praise. Why did Shen Bei and Teacher Yin Hong start fighting?"

"This... Chief Gu, are you aware of this?"

...

Everyone's gaze turned to Gu Changfeng.

Although Shen Bei was also a party involved, his statement would definitely be biased towards himself. Only Gu Changfeng, as an outsider, would likely provide a reasonable explanation.

Gu Changfeng coughed once: "Actually... I don't really want to say it, but if I don't, you'll find out sooner or later. In a word, Yin Hong is a Shepherd of the Headhunter Tribe."

Boom!!!

This single sentence caused all the teachers present to have their minds explode.

Their hair stood on end, veins bulged on their foreheads, and their expressions changed. They truly thought their ears had malfunctioned.

The impact was no less than the Myriad Thunders Yin Hong had just unleashed!

Vaguely, the teachers seemed to feel the heavy pressure of the national will descend, making their shoulders incredibly heavy and the air solidify.

The entire scene was incredibly quiet, incredibly somber.

Those teachers who had already been electrocuted and revived, with a gasp, fainted again.

The teachers were not fools.

If Yin Hong was a Headhunter Tribe member, then all the teachers of Lingnan City Martial Arts University would have to undergo national investigation and interrogation!

If even one thing was amiss, when they would emerge from the black room would depend on fate.

Professor Gu Xinrou gently brushed aside the strands of hair by her ear, a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes: "This... that's impossible, isn't it? How could this be..."

Gu Changfeng waved his hand: "The facts have already been thoroughly investigated. I just spoke with Shen Bei about how the Shepherd was discovered. If the infiltration was exposed, the entire process is a chain of events, with ample logic and evidence, all pointing to Yin Hong."

The teachers present all gasped.

They all turned their gaze to Yin Hong's corpse.

At this moment, Yin Hong's skin was purplish, and his entire body was stiff.

Who would have thought that such a dedicated teacher was actually a Shepherd of the Headhunter Tribe!

Just then.

Director Zheng, dragging a corpse, squeezed out of the darkness and appeared in the light.

Gu Changfeng glanced at him and was so startled he jumped on the spot: "Director Zheng... you!"

He saw.

There was a bloodstain below Director Zheng's eye, with blood continuously flowing, smearing half his face.

This made his face appear half yellow, half bloody red.

At the same time, his suit had turned into tattered rags.

He was in an extremely sorry state.

"It's nothing."

Director Zheng secretly spat: "Luo Chengyuan, a Four-Rank Martial Artist, ambushed me on the way. Two Four-Rank Martial Artists teamed up to get me, but fortunately, I was more skilled."

"However, Luo Chengyuan still escaped."

Gu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Luo Chengyuan can be apprehended later. It's good that you're alright."

Then, Gu Changfeng turned to his younger sister: "What were you doing running out in the middle of the night?"

This was a bit out of line!

A young lady...

Professor Gu Xinrou rolled her eyes: "Isn't the National Martial Arts University Exchange Competition about to begin? The Principal wants Shen Bei from the first year to compete, so we were discussing that!"

Gu Changfeng said, "Oh," then added, "There's no need to discuss this at all."

The other teachers also nodded.

Discuss what nonsense!

Look at the grand scene just now. It's perfectly fine to directly choose Shen Bei from the first year!

For the second year... it should have been Yu Hao competing, but now...

Forget it.

Relying on Shen Bei from the first year will suffice.

Director Zheng then said: "Everyone, go back. There's nothing more for you here. Go back and think about how to deal with the national review."

This was indeed a problem.

One person spoiled the whole pot of porridge.

The teachers, crestfallen, helped each other upstairs.

Shen Bei waited for a while, then reconfirmed the entire incident with Director Zheng and Gu Changfeng.

Consider it taking a statement.

Finally, Shen Bei emphasized, without the slightest concealment, "The Shepherd is a wanted criminal on the list. This bounty... I hope what wakes me up tomorrow is a bank notification."

Gu Changfeng: ...

Director Zheng: ...

After Shen Bei left.

Director Zheng watched Shen Bei's retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips: "It seems you were right."

Gu Changfeng spread his hands: "Right? I said that kid wouldn't work without money, and would even cause trouble."

"Give it to him."

Director Zheng said meaningfully: "This is a good habit, and also the best way to solve problems."

Gu Changfeng nodded.

...

The next day.

The entire school was suspended.

Except for Shen Bei, the other students had no idea what was going on.

According to the usual schedule.

At this time, there should be theory classes, and some miscellaneous cultural classes.

Then, Martial Skill Cultivation.

But today... where were the teachers?

What arrived instead was a school-wide holiday!

The students, like wild horses unbridled and huskies with broken leashes, swarmed out of the campus, eager to experience the colorful world outside.

At this very moment.

In the Martial Arts University conference room.

All the teachers were gathered inside.

Principal Zhang sat at the head, his face so gloomy it could be squeezed like an old mop, dripping with water.

He held an administrative warning letter in his hand.

It listed the situation report of Lingnan City Martial Arts University regarding the Shepherd.

Attached were testimonies and a chain of evidence.

Especially the student files that could not be completely burned, which were particularly glaring.

Finally, the document demanded that Lingnan City Martial Arts University immediately cease all teaching duties, and all teachers undergo review.

Below were the seals of the Ministry of Education and the Martial Arts Management Bureau.

After reading it, Principal Zhang's mouth twitched uncontrollably, his eyes darkened, and he was so angry that his high blood pressure flared up.

Lingnan City Martial Arts University had just begun to show its potential.

Well, then.

In the blink of an eye, Yin Hong dragged it into the abyss.

Headhunter Tribe!

Damn it, a member of the Headhunter Tribe had been a teacher at the Martial Arts University for over ten years!

The only one in the entire country!

Principal Zhang felt his Face stinging with slaps.

He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

He suddenly slammed the document, his face filled with rage, and he scanned the teachers, shouting loudly:

"A disgrace! The disgrace of Lingnan City Martial Arts University! How shameful! It's truly, utterly shameful!"

"Now it's good. After being unknown for so long, and Shen Bei finally building a positive image, just when the higher echelons of the country became aware of us. In a flash, we get hit with a bombshell that completely blackens our name!"

"Disgraceful! Truly, utterly disgraceful!"

Principal Zhang repeatedly pounded the table with his fist, making the cups jump.

"I'm giving you all a chance. Anyone who has an issue, confess to me immediately! Otherwise, when the people from the Ministry of Education and the Martial Arts Management Bureau arrive, even small issues will be magnified!"

"Confess proactively!"

"Old Wang, start with you!"

Principal Zhang called out a name.

"I..." Teacher Wang rubbed his nose, and said with his head down: "My house was short on some electrical wire last time, so I 'borrowed' some from the logistics department."

Principal Zhang: ...

"Next. Old Li!"

"It's not that I wanted it, but that child's parent insisted on giving me a pack of cigarettes, asking me to look after him."

Principal Zhang: ...

"Next! Professor Gu Xinrou."

Professor Gu Xinrou's eyelids fluttered. She hesitated for a moment, then finally bit the bullet and said: "My... my student faked attendance."

Principal Zhang: ...

"Next."

...

Ding~

Shen Bei's phone, placed by his bed, chimed.

Shen Bei, who was sleeping soundly and hadn't even bothered with the daily settlement panel, suddenly sprang up.

Rubbing his eyes, he grabbed his phone and looked.

[Wujian Bank: You have received a reward of 800,000 from the Ministry of Finance. Balance: 3,610,720]

"Money..." Shen Bei stretched and smiled: "A knife that kills without shedding blood."

Getting up, Shen Bei then noticed that the bedsheet was covered in bloodstains.

The damage from yesterday's Myriad Thunders was still considerable.

Despite having 50% resistance, he was still quite injured.

Shen Bei took a Medicinal Pill for healing and put a bandage on the wound on his forehead.

He tidied up his handsome face that could blind others.

Shen Bei called Qi Chuanyu.

"Where are you all?"

"Everyone's here at my place playing cards."

"Wait for me."

Qi Chuanyu's tone paused for a few seconds, then he asked tentatively: "Why?"

"I don't have that strange habit."

Shen Bei hung up the phone.

Qi Chuanyu tilted his head, looked at his phone, and suddenly reacted.

His little chrysanthemum tightened.
