”It was me who agreed to let this teacher and those students return.

”As for the Xue clan's child, he reported to me.

”If there is blame to be placed, the blame lies on me. I request Your Holiness the Pope to forgive me.”

This succession of statements caused the gaze Chen Changsheng aimed at this bishop called Mei Chuan to change.

Bishop Mei Chuan had a very gentle conversational style, a graceful bearing, a perfect etiquette. Even when facing the Pope, he gave off an aura that was neither servile nor overbearing.

Chen Changsheng felt a sort of familiarity about this person, but there was an even more crucial question—when did the Orthodox Academy get an education overseer?

Su Moyu said, ”You are the education overseer, so why is it that when the teacher permitted those students to commit wrongdoings, not only did you not punish him, you even protected him?”

Bishop Mei Chuan calmly replied, ”The Orthodox Academy is a holy ground, so how can the child of a treasonous minister be allowed to profane it? My actions were out of consideration for the academy.”

Chen Changsheng gazed at Mei Chuan, the familiarity growing clearer and clearer.

Mei Chuan faintly smiled, preparing to continue explaining his thinking.

He appeared very calm, but he was actually rather nervous. After all, his actions were highly likely to offend the Pope.

More importantly, he was preparing to use this matter and his following words and combine them with the relationship between him and the Pope in an attempt to gain even more benefits.

Regrettably, Chen Changsheng did not give him the chance to continue speaking.

Chen Changsheng had this vague feeling that if he continued to speak with this bishop, he would end up with a result that he would not be willing to accept.

To put it another way, this Bishop Mei Chuan had already prepared the course and tempo of this conversation before showing himself.

Those people most skilled at breaking the course and tempo of a conversation were often the unreasonable and reckless.

Chen Changsheng could not do this, but the Orthodox Academy had never been lacking such an individual.

He asked Su Moyu, ”Where is he?”

Su Moyu pointed at the back and said, ”He drank too much last night, so he's sleeping inside.”

”Wake him up. I recall that this is a matter that should be under the academy superintendent's purview,” Chen Changsheng noted.

The Orthodox Academy's superintendent was Tang Thirty-Six.

With regards to 'unreasonable', who was more skilled, and who had more money than him?

Rubbing his eyes and still in his pajamas, Tang Thirty-Six walked into the room. After listening to Su Moyu's summary of the situation, he yawned.

And then he turned to that teacher who allowed the students to beat up and humiliate Xue Yejin. He said one word: ”Scram.”

It wasn't a very loud voice, and it was certainly no thunderclap, but it was very crisp, like biting into a radish after soaking it in water for an entire night.

Sweat instantly began to gush from the teacher's pores. A single glance to Bishop Mei Chuan was the only delay he permitted himself before quickly retreating.

Three years ago, he had been a teacher of the Orthodox Academy, so he was well aware of the superintendent's temper.

If he did not quickly leave now and flee the Orthodox Academy, he probably wouldn't have a chance to flee for the rest of his life.

Mei Chuan slightly raised his brows, apparently surprised to see that the young master of the Tang clan had such renown in the Orthodox Academy.

Tang Thirty-Six turned to him.

Bishop Mei Chuan had already prepared himself. Upon being told to scram, he already knew how he should smile in order to appear like he didn't mind.

However, Tang Thirty-Six did not say 'scram', but instead asked, ”Who are you?”

It was quite a while before Mei Chuan gathered his senses and replied, ”I am the education overseer for the Orthodox Academy.”

Tang Thirty-Six asked, ”When did the Orthodox Academy get an education overseer? How come even I didn't know?”

Since he could be dispatched by the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education as an education overseer for as important a place as the Orthodox Academy, Bishop Mei Chuan undoubtedly had an unusual background.

So Tang Thirty-Six was not prepared to ask about his background, nor did he intend to give him a chance to say it.

This was precisely the reason Chen Changsheng had him appear.

But Mei Chuan's reaction was faster than had been imagined.

He ignored Tang Thirty-Six, turning to Chen Changsheng and saying, ”The deceased Archbishop Mei Lisha is my uncle on my father's side.”

He was Mei Lisha's nephew.

As expected.

Chen Changsheng's speculations had received proof, and he naturally understood why Su Moyu had been in such a difficult situation.

The entire continent knew of Mei Lisha's relationship with him and the Orthodox Academy.
