98: Master Chen has taken the wrong path

“Congratulations, Principal Hong! Xinghai Middle School truly has a lot of influence.”

“You even managed to invite Master Chen to teach; it must have cost quite a bit of connections and resources, right?”

The speaker was the principal of another senior middle school.

Their school was similar in ranking to Xinghai Middle School, but in terms of overall strength, Xinghai Middle School had left them far behind, so naturally, he was displeased.

If Principal Hong hadn't taken in Ice Snow Princess back then, where would Xinghai Middle School's current strength come from?

The title of Xinghai's top school would simply not exist.

Amidst his sour remarks, there were compliments from other mid-level schools, and even voices from many high-ranking officials in Qingyu City.

Many high-ranking individuals from all over Qingyu City had come.

Many who couldn't make it back in time had specifically sent family members to show face to Xinghai Middle School.

After all, Master Chen was the one coming today.

Who among the people here didn't want to witness Master Chen's demeanor?

And many of the people present might not even get to see Master Chen once in their entire lives.

As their voices rose, Principal Hong felt a sense of satisfaction, and looking at the sour-faced principal of Tengfeng School, he immediately burst into loud laughter, saying, “Zhou Teng, your school will also have a chance in the future.”

“Once Master Chen comes to teach at Xinghai, I can intercede for you and see if he's willing to give an open lecture to the people of your Tengfeng School.”

“Of course, whether Master Chen agrees is not something I can decide.”

Actually, he didn't know why Master Chen would come to Xinghai Middle School.

But at this moment, it was important not to lose face, no matter what, he had to accept the conversation first.

To infuriate the other party!

As Principal Hong's voice rang out, everyone else was filled with envy.

Many high-ranking officials from Qingyu City expressed to Principal Hong that they also wished to admire Master Chen's demeanor, asking for nothing else but a single auditing spot.

Not only that, but people from other schools turned red with envy, quickly telling Principal Hong that they were willing to exchange resources with Xinghai Middle School.

They could exchange anything Xinghai needed, as long as Xinghai was willing to let Master Chen give them an open lecture.

This, in essence, meant completely handing over their schools' resource pools to Principal Hong, allowing them to be at his mercy.

As a result, Xinghai's dominance in Qingyu City would be almost unchangeable.

It would truly be the number one school.

As Principal Hong's voice rang out, the principal of Tengfeng School, named Zhou Teng, also gritted his teeth fiercely.

Suddenly, his gaze caught sight of the scene at a nearby intersection, and he was immediately stunned, then said in disbelief, “What’s going on?”

“Master Chen and his group… they actually turned?”

“They took a different road!”

His voice was too shocked, even a little stammering.

As his voice rang out, the others who were flattering Principal Hong immediately said with disdain, “Zhou Teng, you are after all the principal of the second-ranked senior school in Qingyu City, can’t you be a little more composed?”

“How could Master Chen’s convoy possibly turn?”

Many people on their side had been paying attention to the direction of Dr. Chen’s convoy, and it had indeed been heading towards Xinghai Middle School before.

Therefore, everyone had come to Xinghai Middle School, respectfully preparing to welcome him.

However, as they spoke, many people nearby also stammered, “It seems… they really did turn!”

Dr. Chen’s convoy was very large.

Therefore, everyone could recognize the source of their convoy at a glance.

Although the distance wasn’t very close, they could still vaguely make out—

The long convoy in front had changed direction, from the intersection ahead…

They had gone the wrong way!

They had gone the wrong way!

Everyone was shocked.

And on the other side, Principal Hong's face, which had initially been arrogant and disdainful, turned into deep shock and embarrassment.

“Perhaps Master Chen and his group took the wrong road.”

He forced a smile and said, “The people of Xinghai Middle School are specifically waiting here, and Master Chen has always disliked such grand displays.”

“So, it’s quite normal for him to bypass us out of dislike.”

“Let’s wait a little longer and see!”

After saying this, he quickly summoned a senior teacher from the school and whispered instructions to him, “Hurry and go to Master Chen’s convoy, and ask what exactly is going on.”

“This time, it was our Xinghai Middle School’s oversight. Please ensure Master Chen’s anger subsides.”

“The people present here will not disturb Master Chen.”

“I will immediately arrange for them to go to the auditorium and not allow them to privately contact Master Chen.”

He instructed hurriedly.

As his voice rang out, the senior teacher quickly agreed and rushed off to chase after Master Chen’s convoy.

Meanwhile, Dr. Chen on this side had no idea what was happening.

Anyway, he didn't care where he taught.

It was just to give Feng Linghuang some face; of course, it would be even better if he didn't have to teach at all.

“Tsk, how exactly was that illusion array arranged just now? Why is it completely different from the energy arrangement methods we’ve studied?”

He was completely baffled in his mind.

Just then, the senior teacher had already caught up with Dr. Chen and the others’ convoy.

“Wait! Please wait! You’ve taken the wrong road!”

He shouted loudly, drawing the attention of many.

Around Dr. Chen’s convoy, many people had already gripped their weapons, looking at him with icy gazes.

Looking at these elite soldiers, the senior teacher swallowed hard, then trembled as he said to them, “Hello, may I ask if this is Master Chen’s convoy?”

As he spoke, a person who looked like a guard captain appeared before him.

“That’s right, what do you want? Unwarranted interference will be treated as an attack!”

The guard captain’s voice was icy.

“No… no, it’s not.”

The senior teacher’s voice was mournful as he said, “I… I am a teacher from Xinghai Middle School…”

“Um… Master Chen took the wrong road, our Xinghai Middle School is just down the road ahead.”

“Our principal said that we were wrong just now because we were too eager to admire Master Chen’s demeanor, so we gathered many people at the school gate to welcome him. This was our mistake.”

“The principal has already ordered everyone to go into the auditorium to wait and absolutely not disturb Master Chen.”

“Please turn back.”

As he finished speaking, the guard captain’s brows furrowed tightly.

Then, the next second, he spoke, causing the senior teacher to feel as if he had been struck by lightning!
