53: Chapter 53 Senior Brother?! The God of Fire's Desperate Attempt to Save Face!

At this moment, Zhu Tianzheng slowly walked in.

His gaze first landed on Li Fan, and after nodding at Li Fan,

he raised his hand and knocked hard on the Fire God's forehead.

"You good-for-nothing Zhu Xiong, you've grown bold, haven't you?"

"You dare to lecture my student?"

"Have you forgotten that time you rushed into someone's dorm and got into a brawl?"

Zhu Tianzheng hammered away, scolding the whole time with full imposing aura.

But the Fire God, who always had a fiery temper, surprisingly showed no anger at all, allowing himself to be lectured without even trying to dodge.

"Teacher, there are outsiders here."

"I wasn't using my full strength; I just wanted to check the quality of this seedling."

The Fire God quickly winked at Zhu Tianzheng and said softly.

But Zhu Tianzheng gave him absolutely no face.

"My chosen seedling needs you to test it?"

"Oh my, now you're the Fire God, you have such status. You're not that little kid who used to cry his eyes out when burned by his own flames anymore..."

Zhu Tianzheng went all out, continuing to spill the Fire God's embarrassing secrets while tapping his head.

This scene,

truly stunned everyone present.

Including Li Fan.

They never expected that the Fire God, who usually fought heaven and earth with an extremely volatile temper, would be as obedient as a child who made a mistake in front of Zhu Tianzheng.

And from their conversation, it could be discerned that the Fire God was also taught by Zhu Tianzheng.

If they followed the master-disciple seniority,

the Fire God was even Li Fan's Senior Brother!

And He Wenguang would have to call Li Fan Martial Uncle!

"Teacher, I suddenly remembered I have something to do. I'll take my leave now."

Having his joke made by so many juniors, the Fire God immediately prepared to flee the scene.

"Hold on. Your Junior Brother is injured right now. You're just going to leave like that?"

"Do you still have any regard for me as your teacher?"

"Did I not teach you to respect your elders back then?"

Zhu Tianzheng stopped him on the spot, frowning.

The Fire God glanced at Li Fan, then helplessly pulled out a bottle of healing medicine, tossed it to Li Fan, and looked back at Zhu Tianzheng,

"Teacher, this medicine isn't cheap. For his minor injuries, swallowing half a pill will fully heal him."

Seeing this,

Zhu Tianzheng finally nodded, showing satisfaction.

But just as the Fire God was about to leave, Zhu Tianzheng spoke again,

"Hold on."

"I see your Junior Brother also suffered a minor mental shock. If not handled well, it might affect his future cultivation. I suggest you comfort him properly."

"For example, give him some pocket money, some useless Flame Talismans, or some useless supplements, and so on."

As soon as this was said,

the Fire God stared with wide, angry eyes, completely dumbfounded.

He still had to pay for 'emotional distress'?

When he looked at Li Fan again, he felt truly wronged but also utterly helpless. He took off a space ring from his little finger and threw it to Li Fan.

"Teacher, there aren't many things inside, but it should be enough for this kid to use for a while."

"I'm really leaving now!"

The Fire God shouted at Zhu Tianzheng, then took a big stride and walked straight toward the door.

Based on his understanding of Zhu Tianzheng,

if he stayed any longer in this place, he might not even have any bitter tea left.

But just as he reached the door, he stopped again.

"What? Suddenly you have something else to do? Can't bear to leave?"

Zhu Tianzheng continued to tease him.

But this time, the Fire God ignored Zhu Tianzheng and looked around at the surrounding students.

"What happened just now, pretend you didn't see it!"

"Also, the conversation between me and Dean Zhu is not allowed to be in the videos you recorded! And absolutely not allowed to be posted!"

"If I catch anyone posting it, you'll be expelled immediately!"

That's right.

He stayed behind to make a final effort to save face.

"You brat..."

Zhu Tianzheng was just about to speak,

but the next second, the Fire God swiftly departed, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

This scene

left everyone watching with expressions caught between laughter and tears.

They never imagined that two such terrifying big shots could also have such down-to-earth aspects.

"Everyone, don't mind him, feel free to post it."

The Fire God had run off, so Zhu Tianzheng could only converse with the students, his attitude being extremely gentle.

Hearing this,

everyone exchanged glances.

Post it?

Ahem... they wouldn't dare!

Immediately after,

Zhu Tianzheng walked over to Li Fan.

After guiding Li Fan to take the healing medicine,

Li Fan's injuries indeed healed in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you, Teacher, for resolving the situation!"

Li Fan dared not hesitate and quickly expressed his thanks.

He now respected Zhu Tianzheng from the bottom of his heart.

Not only did he resolve the conflict for him, but he even helped him obtain so many things.

A teacher like this couldn't be found even with a lantern!

"It seems He Wenguang has a grudge against you, but I haven't paid much attention. Tell me, exactly what happened?"

"Forget it, I should change places to talk first. This place is stiflingly hot."

Zhu Tianzheng nodded, and then led Li Fan away first.

Arriving at the adjoining lounge,

Li Fan quickly explained the whole story, along with all the evidence he recorded in the secret realm at that time, to Zhu Tianzheng.

After listening, Zhu Tianzheng understood why Li Fan had been so impulsive as to directly come to the training room to teach He Wenguang a lesson.

"This young punk is truly a bit petty. If he continues like this, even with sufficient talent, it will be hard for him to go far,"

Zhu Tianzheng couldn't help but offer his assessment, with an indescribable sense of regret in his eyes.

Then, Zhu Tianzheng stood up and patted Li Fan's shoulder.

"Alright, I know everything about the matter now."

"However, matters outside the academy are indeed difficult for the academy to handle. You must be careful yourself from now on."

"As for your private fight with He Wenguang and the injuries you inflicted on him,

according to the school rules, you should technically be expelled. But considering the cause of the incident, I will ask the academy to impose a symbolic punishment, just going through the motions, and this matter will be considered settled."

"After your punishment is over, remember to come and help me test the new preparations as soon as possible."

"I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

With that said,

Zhu Tianzheng left first, leaving Li Fan alone in the lounge.

And this resolution was already the best possible outcome they could achieve.

No matter how deep his feud was with He Wenguang and the He family,

it was difficult for the school to intervene too much.

After all, both he and He Wenguang were students of the Beidi. They had to treat them equally, or at least not show too much favoritism.

Taking a deep breath,

Li Fan did not linger either. He got up and headed toward the infirmary.

He wondered if Gu Quan and the others had recovered yet.

And just a few steps after Li Fan walked out,

he ran right into the rushing Lu Qilai and Ma Xiu.

"Brother Fan, are you alright?"

"Brother Fan, what did Dean Zhu say? Did he say how this matter would be handled?"

The two were panting heavily, looking at Li Fan with full concern.

Li Fan patted his own sturdy chest, looking completely relaxed:

"I'm fine, still full of vigor and vitality!"

"By the way, how did you guys know Dean Zhu was here?"

Seeing that Li Fan was fine, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But when the matter of Dean Zhu was brought up, they both looked confused.

"Brother Fan, you don't know? The video of you and He Wenguang fighting privately in the training room, and later the Fire God and Dean Zhu arriving, is currently spreading like wildfire on the campus forum!"

"Yeah, Brother Fan, you don't mean you haven't seen it?"
