23: Chapter 23: Is the matter resolved? An unexpected change occurs! The Martial Arts Bureau intervenes!

"Principal." Upon seeing Principal Mu Mingsheng, the teacher from No. 7 High School ran over as if he had finally found his backbone.

After entering the venue, Principal Mu Mingsheng's gaze fell directly onto Wang Jincheng.

His aura was even half a notch stronger than Wang Jincheng's!

Furthermore, standing beside Principal Mu Mingsheng was someone who surprised Lu Qingyun: Captain Yang Pinru.

Seeing Lu Qingyun's gaze, Captain Yang Pinru winked at him, then immediately resumed a serious expression.

"Old Man Wang, I'm asking you a question."

"Why don't we hash this out? Let's see what kind of explanation you deserve. As it happens, Captain Yang Pinru of the military is here today as well."

As Principal Mu Mingsheng spoke, he walked to Lu Qingyun's side.

Seeing that, aside from some torn clothes, he had no other injuries, he felt quite surprised.

More than that, he felt pleasantly surprised!

He had considered the possibility of Lu Qingyun failing, or winning with great difficulty after giving it his all.

He never expected this victory to be so effortless!

It hadn't even forced Lu Qingyun to reveal his true strength!

"Principal Mu Mingsheng! Stop beating around the bush!"

Wang Jincheng glanced at the teachers beside him, ordering them to take the students from their respective classes back before cursing loudly.

"The situation is that your student came here to stir up trouble, and even used extremely cruel methods to kill two students!"

"Do you know what kind of behavior this is? Do you know the family influence behind one of those students?"

"You have no idea!"

Just then, Principal Mu Mingsheng suddenly raised his hand, stopping Wang Jincheng's passionate speech.

"Hold it, who said I don't know?"

"What do you mean my student came here to stir up trouble? Didn't you keep saying last time that you wanted to see the teaching standards and student quality of the No. 7 High School I manage? I clearly fulfilled your request, which is why I let him come over for a friendly martial arts challenge."

"However, youth is impulsive, so words naturally get exaggerated. But you, a person with one foot in the grave, tell me what you did?"

"You let the entire school's martial artists take turns bullying a youth who just turned eighteen, in the prime of his youth, the very flower of our humanity! What kind of behavior is this? Despicable! Disgusting!"

"Finally, you allowed them to gang up on my student, and you even actively left the scene. Do I need to say more about what you meant? As a principal, the deaths of those two were entirely because you failed to fulfill your duty to protect them! Besides, in that situation, if it were you, could you have held back without causing a major accident?"

"A martial arts duel is inherently dangerous! Holding back in that situation is irresponsible to one's own life! It's already fortunate that only two people died! I haven't even settled the score with you, yet you're asking my student for an explanation? You really have no shame left in that old face of yours!"

Principal Mu Mingsheng spat on the floor in front of Wang Jincheng, displaying vulgarity that stood in stark contrast to his gentle appearance.

On the other side, Captain Yang Pinru also spoke with a serious expression: "Principal Wang! Your actions constitute serious dereliction of duty, leading to a major teaching accident. Although this matter is not within my jurisdiction, if necessary, I will serve as a witness to prove this young brother's innocence!"

The two of them sang in harmony, leaving Wang Jincheng completely dumbfounded.

If it's not under your jurisdiction, why are you making such a racket!

Don't think I don't know your background. This Principal Mu Mingsheng was in the military before he was parachuted here. If you two weren't acquaintances, I'd rip your heads off!

"Cough, cough! Old Man Wang, to be honest... this is a private grudge between martial artists."

"Don't you find it strange? With so many people on the field, my student is still in such good condition. He could have taken the opportunity to commit a slaughter that would have left you restless in your twilight years, yet in the end, only two people died?"

After Principal Mu Mingsheng and Captain Yang Pinru finished twisting the facts, he suddenly changed his tone and said.

He briefly clarified the grudge between the two to Wang Jincheng.

Of course, regarding the compensation, he deliberately hid a part of it, saying that Xing Li had not provided any compensation.

After all, it was a problem that occurred under his command, so he still wanted to save face.

Moreover, in this way, it was easier for Wang Jincheng to understand the grudges between these people.

It was equivalent to Xing Li provoking the trouble first, and Lu Qingyun's actions were merely a spirited revenge.

Of course, the reason why Wang Jincheng completely gave up on pursuing responsibility and chose to handle it coldly was...

The corpse of Lu Tianshun!

With their experience, they naturally knew that was the result of using the forbidden drug Blood Burning Powder!

In other words, even if Lu Qingyun hadn't made a move, Lu Tianshun, having taken the Blood Burning Powder, would have died anyway. And before dying, he would likely have gone insane and caused a massive slaughter!

As for why Lu Tianshun would take Blood Burning Powder, and where he got it from.

None of the people present were novices; they could naturally guess it had to do with the other corpse on the field.

"Hmph!"

"This matter ends here, but Principal Mu Mingsheng, don't get cocky!"

"In my opinion, you are still extremely incompetent! Does your student's strength have anything to do with you? If he weren't a Physical-type Awakened, with a natural advantage during this period, how could you have beaten me?"

Wang Jincheng snorted coldly, his words full of unwillingness to admit defeat.

And just as Principal Mu Mingsheng wanted to continue, relying on the feat of Lu Qingyun taking on a whole school to mock him mercilessly.

At the entrance of the venue, a tall, uniquely tempered figure appeared.

It was a cold, regal woman with an exaggerated figure—full breasts and wide hips—wearing tight clothing that revealed her curvaceous body.

Her voice was extremely unique, rich with charming magnetism, making anyone who heard it feel an inexplicable impulse.

"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt."

"I seemed to hear someone say... Physical-type Awakened just now?"

"Could anyone here give me, the Chief of the Martial Arts Bureau, a proper introduction?"

"While you're at it, explain... the martial artist murder case that occurred at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School. Hmm... the scene is still quite well-preserved. Although the bodies are not complete, fortunately, the body parts and other pieces are all at the scene, so they can be pieced back into a human shape."

The moment her voice fell.

On both sides of the venue gate, more than a dozen figures wearing Martial Arts Bureau uniforms and emitting powerful auras flooded in.

Among those figures, Lu Qingyun even saw Zhang Guodong, who had escorted him to the martial artist assessment site!

And Principal Mu Mingsheng, who was beside Lu Qingyun, stiffened the moment he saw that woman.

The arrival of the Martial Arts Bureau caused this matter, which could have been resolved in the shadows, to be forcibly brought to the table!

"Things... are not going to be easy to handle now..."

"Even if it's not easy, we have to handle it! Hehe."

Captain Yang Pinru's eyes had been fixed on Zhang Guodong's rear from the start, and he suddenly grinned, letting out an unusually excited laugh.
