"Zhou Hong, what are you still staring at? Hurry up and pay respects to Senior Wang Tianyu," the dean urged Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong was about to say that paying respects was impossible, but he wouldn't mind giving him a slap.
However, before Zhou Hong could speak, Wang Tianyu hastily stopped him, "No need. Not everyone can get close to me."
With that, Wang Tianyu immediately left with his subordinates, not even glancing at Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong had wanted to slap him, but since he was already gone, he couldn't be bothered.
"Sigh!" The dean couldn't help but sigh.
"Zhou Hong, why are you so obtuse when you should be smart? You should have gone up to greet him immediately. He must have thought you were slow and didn't have a good impression of you. Otherwise, it would have been beneficial for you if he had given you some guidance," the dean said regretfully.
"Speechless. Who wants his guidance," Zhou Hong pouted and said coldly.
"Don't be so stubborn. This Wang Tianyu is probably the strongest person in the entire Jinzhou City now," the dean sighed. He was naturally aware of the bloody events that had occurred in Jinzhou City last night.
"Is that so!" Zhou Hong snorted with disdain. He hadn't even made a move yet, and someone dared to call himself the strongest. However, in such a small place, Zhou Hong had no interest in competing for first place with others, just like an adult arguing with kindergarten children about who was stronger. What was the point of being the best?
"Last night, the entire Jinzhou City was a tragic sight. Three of the former five major families have vanished today. Think about it. Now, the Wang family is undoubtedly the number one family in Jinzhou City."
"Heh heh!" Zhou Hong chuckled indifferently. If he wanted to, he could make the Qiao family the number one family in Jinzhou City in minutes, but it was meaningless because everyone else in the Qiao family was an ordinary person. Sudan Novel Network
The dean immediately walked up to Teacher Yang Xi and flattered her, "Teacher Yang, I pay my respects."
"Dean, absolutely not!" Yang Xi was startled. The dean of a martial arts academy was bowing to her? She was just an ordinary teacher.
"Teacher Yang, I see that Wang Tianyu is quite sincere towards you. Why did you refuse him?" the dean quickly asked. The reason he bowed to Teacher Yang Xi was naturally because of Wang Tianyu.
"I don't like him," Yang Xi said.
"Heh heh, he is now probably the strongest person in Jinzhou City. If you could become his woman, you would enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of your life. I think you should consider it carefully."
"No need!"
The dean didn't say anything more. He didn't think much of it either, assuming Teacher Yang Xi was just playing hard to get. After all, agreeing immediately would seem cheap, while pretending to be unworthy and refusing first would appear more genuine.
"Everyone, disperse!" a teacher shouted at this moment.
The surrounding students scattered.
Soon, the area in front of the teaching building returned to quiet.
Qiao Xiaoyu said to Zhou Hong, "Zhou Hong, there are still two classes this morning. Let's go back to the classroom instead of practicing martial arts. We can't skip classes all day."
"Alright, a balance between work and rest," Zhou Hong nodded and said.
Qin Mengxue and Qiao Xiaoyu returned to the classroom.
As for Liu Hua, he still went to the training ground to continue his arduous practice.
"Zhou Hong, I'm returning to the martial arts academy too. Come over when you have time, and I'll guide your cultivation," the dean also said to Zhou Hong.
"Thank you, Dean!" Zhou Hong didn't say much and just nodded.
The dean also left.
Seeing Teacher Yang Xi heading towards the teacher's office, Zhou Hong quickly followed her.
"Teacher Yang!" he shouted.
Yang Xi turned to look at Zhou Hong and smiled faintly.
"Teacher Yang, you don't seem happy," Zhou Hong walked up and asked.
"What is there to be happy about?" Yang Xi chided Zhou Hong lightly, but for some reason, talking to Zhou Hong at this moment made her feel very relaxed.
"Who is that Wang Tianyu to you?"
"Just a classmate from junior high. I remember he liked me quite a bit back then. Later, I didn't know where he went until he appeared last night."
"I see. It seems this kid is quite talented."
Yang Xi said anxiously, "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear. Wang Tianyu is no ordinary person in Jinzhou City now."
"Haha." Zhou Hong laughed disdainfully.
"He is now the strongest person in Jinzhou City. I heard that last night, he had one of his subordinates unify the entire underworld of Jinzhou City. Simply put, everything in Jinzhou City, whether legal or illegal, is decided by him now. If he heard what you just said, he would definitely be unhappy and think you were disrespecting him."
"Heh heh!" Zhou Hong thought to himself, if he really heard it, that would be perfect, he'd teach him a lesson.
"Teacher Yang Xi, he's such a powerful person, and he's pursuing you with such sincerity. Why didn't you agree?"
"I don't like him, why would I agree?"
"But he's so powerful! The entire Jinzhou City is under his control now."
"Do you think I'm that kind of person? What does his power have to do with me? If I were pursuing that, back in the capital, many noble families pursued me, and their families were even bigger. And that Huo Haoran you killed last time, wasn't his family even more powerful? Wouldn't it have been better for me to be with that Huo Haoran?"
"Heh heh, I didn't expect Teacher Yang to be so noble."
"You don't think I'm just pretending to be pure, do you? I've already heard people whispering that the reason I rejected Wang Tianyu is that I'm putting on an act. If I agreed immediately, it would seem cheap. Pretending first, acting noble, would make Wang Tianyu cherish me more."
"Teacher Yang, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean that at all," Zhou Hong quickly explained. It seemed the word "noble" was not suitable for this context and had become ironic.
"Alright, I know you didn't mean it. Hurry up and go to class." Teacher Yang Xi wasn't angry; she just pouted slightly, showing a rare cute expression.
"Teacher Yang, if anything happens, like if Wang Tianyu harasses you, call me," Zhou Hong instructed.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"By the way, Teacher Yang, I have something for you." Zhou Hong immediately took out a spirit pill from his person.
"What is this?"
"This is a very precious spirit pill. After you take it, combined with a body-refining technique, your body will become that of a martial arts prodigy."
"Ah!"
"Hurry and take it, and then I'll teach you the body-refining method."
"No, this must be extremely precious. I can't accept it," Yang Xi quickly refused.
"What, don't you want to possess martial arts talent?"
