67: Chapter 67 Unfilial Son! Who did he have to mess with!?

"Th-this... why are you only telling us about this now? If you had said so earlier, we would have..."

"Would have what?"

Being asked this by Li Zhenhai, Wu Tian suddenly realized he had been unprofessional and quickly corrected himself:

"No, no, no, what I meant to say was... as expected of Minister Li's daughter! A tiger father has no dog for a daughter!"

"You have to know, those who can enter our Jiang University Freshman Challenge Tournament are the top twelve teams selected through layers of screening from the thousands of students in the freshman year!"

"They are geniuses among geniuses!"

Wu Tian gave a thumbs up, his flattery ringing loud and clear:

"I didn't expect your daughter to be so outstanding. She enrolled low-key and fought her way into the Freshman Challenge Tournament on her own merits. I'm impressed, truly impressed!"

Zhou Hanguang also quickly chimed in:

"Yes, yes! Minister Li has raised her well! May I ask which team your daughter is on?"

For Zhou Hanguang, what he hoped for most at this moment was that Li Zhenhai's beloved daughter happened to be on his own son's team.

If that were the case, based on this connection alone, even his promotion to Wu Tian wouldn't be out of the question!

However, faced with their flattery, Li Zhenhai didn't show much happiness; instead, he waved his hand in a somewhat humble-bragging manner:

"Oh, alright, alright. You don't need to be so nervous, and you don't need to butter me up."

"I really didn't come here with any other intentions."

Li Zhenhai put down his teacup, his face revealing the unique conflict and worry of an aging father:

"It's just that my daughter... her situation is a bit complicated."

"Her Professional class is a bit special, and her personality takes after her mother; she's quite delicate. I originally didn't intend for her to go down this path of fighting and killing as a Professional. I just wanted her to get a diploma at school and live a stable life afterward."

"But who would have known..."

Li Zhenhai pointed at the big screen and smiled bitterly:

"I don't know what this child was thinking, but she ended up in the Freshman Challenge Tournament by mistake."

"As her father, I was watching the live broadcast at home with my heart in my throat. Since I was bored, I thought I'd just come over and watch it with you experts."

"And while I'm at it, have you analyze it for me and give me your expert opinion."

Li Zhenhai looked at Wu Tian and Zhou Hanguang with sincere eyes:

"Help me take a look. Is my daughter... really suitable for this path of being a Professional? If not, I'd rather she quit the team early to avoid getting hurt later."

Hearing these extremely sincere words, Wu Tian and Zhou Hanguang exchanged a look, their tense bodies completely relaxing.

So that was it. It turns out this was just a doting father coming to school to watch his daughter's match and, by the way, have a parent-teacher meeting with the teachers!

"Geez! You scared the life out of me!"

Zhou Hanguang grumbled inwardly. Since he was just here to watch the match, things would be much easier.

The smile on Wu Tian's face instantly became much more sincere. He quickly stood up, gave up the best seat in the center of the sofa, and warmly greeted him:

"Oh, the hearts of parents everywhere. Come, come, please sit! It's clearest to watch from here!"

"We'll watch and analyze it together! Rest assured, as long as they are students in our school, regardless of their aptitude, we will definitely give the most Professional advice!"

As Li Zhenhai took his seat, Zhou Hanguang and Tian Lin, Grade Head also sat down.

Although the atmosphere had eased up quite a bit, Tian Lin, Grade Head still only dared to sit on the edge of his seat. He gripped his teacup tightly, fearing that something might go wrong later.

The group's attention was once again focused on the giant projection screen on the wall.

At this moment, the live broadcast of the Freshman Challenge Tournament was locked onto the top of a canyon in the Echo Gobi. The director seemed to know exactly where the action was, as the camera gave plenty of coverage.

On screen, two groups were locked in a tense standoff.

One side had many people and was aggressive, with various weapons and magic staffs gleaming with cold light.

The other side, although consisting of only three people, stood high on the cliff with an aura that didn't lose out in the slightest.

"Huh?"

Wu Tian glanced at the screen and pointed to the boy standing at the very front of the crowd, holding a large blade with an arrogant expression on his face, and introduced him to Li Zhenhai with a smile:

"Li Zhenhai, look. This is Vice Principal's child, named Zhou Tianren."

"This child is also a freshman this year. He formed a team, and his strength is quite good; he is currently at the top of the leaderboard."

"We were just about to watch his performance. With this stance, he's probably about to fight another team for territory or monsters."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hanguang revealed a reserved smile on his face and said modestly:

"Oh, children playing around, I hope you'll forgive him, Li Zhenhai."

"But my child Tianren does have some leadership ability. It looks like he has united several teams this time; he must be preparing to do something big."

As he spoke, Zhou Hanguang looked at Li Zhenhai and asked curiously:

"By the way, Li Zhenhai, I haven't asked, what is your daughter's name? Which team is she on?"

"If you tell me, I'll have the director switch the camera so we can focus on your daughter!"

Wu Tian also picked up the remote control, preparing to switch the screen:

"Yes, yes, we've been talking for a while and still don't know who your daughter is. I'll look for her right now..."

However, Li Zhenhai didn't answer with her name. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the image on the screen, and raised his hand to stop Wu Tian's action.

"No need to switch."

Li Zhenhai's voice suddenly became somewhat low. He stretched out his rough hand and pointed to a corner of the screen:

"Right here."

"This exact scene."

"Huh?"

Wu Tian and Zhou Hanguang were stunned and subconsciously followed Li Zhenhai's finger.

Li Zhenhai's finger passed through the crowd of Zhou Tianren's side and pointed straight to the top of the cliff. There stood a cute girl between two teammates, holding an electronic keyboard, with her hair in a bun.

"There,"

Li Zhenhai said, his tone carrying a bit of helplessness and a bit of undisguised doting:

"Right opposite the Zhou family child you pointed out."

"That girl holding the keyboard with her hair in a bun is my daughter, Li Murou."

"Wha...?! Looking at the screen, Wu Tian, Zhou Hanguang, and the three of them were instantly dumbfounded."

Li Zhenhai didn't notice the strangeness of the three. He just leaned forward slightly, carefully examining the tense situation on the screen. His brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself in confusion:

"Huh? Looking at the stance of these people... it doesn't look like they are trying to steal monsters, right?"

"Then why is that group of people below holding swords and blades pointed at my daughter?"

Li Zhenhai turned his head and looked at the sweating Zhou Hanguang. He asked in a tone that, while calm, made people feel a chill down their spines:

"That Zhou family boy... bringing so many people, it seems like he intends to... gang up on my daughter?"

Boom—! This sentence was like a ten-million-ton nuclear bomb that exploded directly in the Wu Tian's office!

Wu Tian, Zhou Hanguang, and Tian Lin, Grade Head, all felt their brains buzzing. Their bodies trembled violently, and their pupils instantly dilated to the extreme.

Zhou Hanguang's face turned pale instantly, as white as a dead man's face. Watching his son on the screen, with a hideous expression and waving a large blade to hack at people, he felt like the sky was collapsing!

This is not a Freshman Challenge Tournament? This is a damn death trap!

Unfilial son! This unfilial son! It's one thing to be arrogant and domineering on a daily basis. But who are you messing with? You had to go and mess with Li Zhenhai's daughter!?
