157: Everyone knows

Principal?

When did Lu Yuan become the Principal of Pengcheng University!

The crowd in the venue was bustling, and Yuan Yongfeng, who had come to demand an explanation, along with the Yuan Family Members, were stunned.

They all didn't understand the situation.

The key was that not only the students called Lu Yuan Principal, but also the school leaders, and even Lao Qiyuan did.

This was simply outrageous!

"Ten god emperor realm demon crystals, one hundred high-grade spirit tools." Lu Yuan cooperated, deciding to fleece Yuan Yongfeng severely.

"My bank card was also stolen by Yuan Ruifeng. It had over 60 billion in it. Just round up the odd bit to 70 billion."

Lu Yuan spoke casually, making Yuan Yongfeng's face turn ashen.

This was the first time he had seen such a reverse rounding up!

"Lu Yuan, don't go too far!" Yuan Yongfeng suppressed his inner rage, gritting his teeth.

If looks could kill, Lu Yuan would have long been torn to pieces.

"You're the one going too far. Leaving aside whether Yuan Ruifeng was killed by Lu Yuan, what if he was?" Lao Qiyuan said indifferently.

The No Mans Land is a lawless place. Even if Yuan Yongfeng asked the Censorate to investigate, the Censorate wouldn't be able to gather enough evidence!

Killing for treasure is too common in the No Mans Land.

If Lu Yuan had died at Yuan Ruifeng's hands, Lao Qiyuan wouldn't have said much.

At least, he wouldn't openly trouble the Yuan family!

In contrast, Yuan Yongfeng grandly came to Pengcheng University to question Lu Yuan.

Does he really think Pengcheng University has no one?

Lu Yuan looked at the furious Yuan Yongfeng, knowing that this matter could only end without resolution.

But a grudge had been formed nonetheless!

Enduring Lao Qiyuan's God Emperor Realm pressure, Yuan Yongfeng took a deep breath.

"Lu Yuan, I can drop the matter of you killing my brother, and we can turn hostility into friendship." Yuan Yongfeng said, then changed his tone.

"Give me Yuan Ruifeng's storage ring. His body has long disappeared, and I need the mementos inside the storage ring for his burial."

Yuan Yongfeng decided to compromise.

In fact, he wasn't sure if Lu Yuan had killed Yuan Ruifeng.

After all, Yuan Ruifeng, including the Practitioners with Yuan Ruifeng, were all dead!

He only heard that it was for the top-grade heaven and earth spirit treasure grand void thunder wood, and someone saw Lu Yuan's special monster.

So Yuan Yongfeng speculated that Lu Yuan was the killer.

Although this was a bit too absurd, a Law Realm killing a Peak Transcendent Realm Practitioner.

If it were a joke, it would be very funny.

But if it were true, no one would believe it!

"Who is Yuan Ruifeng? I don't know him." Lu Yuan changed his statement.

Yuan Yongfeng: "???"

"Trying to trick me?" Lu Yuan's mouth curved into a smile.

Just kidding.

If he really handed over Yuan Ruifeng's storage ring, wouldn't that confirm it?

At that time, the Prosecutor would point to the storage ring and ask where he got it.

He wouldn't be able to explain it even with a hundred mouths!

So giving it was impossible. Besides that, there was a second possibility.

That is, Yuan Ruifeng's storage ring contained something good, so Yuan Yongfeng was willing to abandon his revenge for his brother's death to get it!

"Good, very good, you're all great actors!" Yuan Yongfeng gnashed his teeth in anger.

He originally thought he could easily deal with Lu Yuan, who was under twenty, not only convicting him but also getting Yuan Ruifeng's storage ring.

Who would have thought that Lu Yuan's cunning was unfathomable, and with Lao Qiyuan's cooperation, he could only swallow his anger!

Watching Yuan Yongfeng and the others leave, Lu Yuan pondered various possibilities.

Was it a trap, or did Yuan Ruifeng's storage ring contain something extraordinary? He'd know by asking Li Jinxue.

The storage ring was in her hands.

"Don't worry, this matter is inherently unsolvable." Lao Qiyuan said.

If Yuan Yongfeng dared to trouble Lu Yuan within the city, even without his intervention, the Seven Alliances and One Hall wouldn't be pleased.

"Mhm." Lu Yuan nodded, not taking this matter to heart.

The venue returned to normal, with students sparring in close combat on the Arena Stage.

Suddenly, Lao Qiyuan's expression changed.

"Qiu Zhenbang, what did you old geezer do?!" Lao Qiyuan shouted.

He had received many text messages.

Alliance Master of the Thunder Alliance Chu Yongsheng: "Old Lao retired? Such a big matter should have been discussed with us. Also, does the Supreme Alliance Leader know about Lu Yuan becoming the Principal of Pengcheng University?"

Imperial Capital University Principal Chen Yaozong: "Oh, oh, oh, how did you go from Principal to Vice Principal? Old Lao, old Lao, if it really doesn't work out, come to my Imperial Capital University to be a Vice Principal."

Other Principals also sent text messages, some sarcastic, some gloating.

"Qiu Zhenbang!"

Lao Qiyuan's face was flushed red.

Embarrassing, he had never been so embarrassed in his life!

This was all Qiu Zhenbang's doing!

"Just helping you promote it, no need to thank me." Qiu Zhenbang said.

The outside world had already exploded!

Number one trending topic: [Lu Yuan appointed Principal of Pengcheng University!]

Number two trending topic: [Qiu Zhenbang, founder of Zhenbang Martial Arts Hall, shakes hands and takes a photo with Lu Yuan, the current Principal of Pengcheng University!]

Number three trending topic: [Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce celebrates Lu Yuan's appointment as Principal of Pengcheng University, all demon crystals below Divine Power Realm are 10% off!]

...Overwhelming news about Lu Yuan!

[████ Scratch to reveal: Holy crap, is that the Lu Yuan I know? How did he go from student to Principal!]

[Balance Hiding Zero From Me: Lu Yuan is so awesome, I thought this news was fake when I first saw it, but everyone's discussing it!]

[Attacked by pain when my foot is numb: Others become Principals at eighteen, I'm lying in bed scrolling on my phone at eighteen, we all have bright futures!]

The number one trending topic had over 100 million likes and tens of millions of comments.

"Qiu Zhenbang, you bastard!" Lao Qiyuan trembled with anger.

Now the entire Huaxia knew that Lu Yuan was the Principal, and he had been demoted from Principal to Vice Principal.

"My grandpa died long ago. Also, Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce has nothing to do with me." Qiu Zhenbang corrected.

Qiu Zhenbang corrected.

His disciples were everywhere, and many of them were influential figures.

Such as executives of large companies, and heads of families.

Seeing the official blog post from Zhenbang Martial Arts Hall, these people also followed suit, either reposting or congratulating.

Before long, it sparked a nationwide discussion!

"Damn, playing so big." Lu Yuan also received the news.

Lu Yeli sent him many question marks.

Chu Wushe, on the other hand, ran to the Principal's office, wanting to ask Chen Yaozong how to become the Principal of Imperial Capital University.

And Jiang Tianxia and Fu Jingjie both sent congratulatory emoji packs.

"Should I abdicate?" Lao Qiyuan muttered to himself.

As soon as this thought arose, a hearty laugh swept in.

"Hahaha, Old Lao, you've finally had your day!"

"Congratulations, Principal Lu! Let's work together to cultivate more geniuses for Huaxia through the Five Great Top Academies!"

The Principals of the four top academies collectively descended upon Pengcheng University.

Chen Yaozong was the first, his smile and laughter never stopping.

The five of them had known each other for many years and were old friends.

Nothing made them happier than seeing an old friend get into trouble.

Each time they called Lu Yuan 'Principal,' they would look at Lao Qiyuan's expression, which was like he had eaten fly dung.

After the teasing, Chen Yaozong got to the main point.

"Principal Lu, and the other three Principals, I think we should discuss serious matters!"

Serious matters?

Lu Yuan knew that the four Principals didn't just come to tease Lao Qiyuan.

And as the Principal of Pengcheng University, he naturally had the right to participate in the discussion!
