Chapter 137 - Standing out for Him (1/2)

Chapter 137 Standing out for Him

Su Lingyue went to the lecture as well. She was there before she knew it even though she didn’t have a pet of the undead family.

She was disappointed and sorry that she didn’t see the Inferno Dragon. When they were leaving, she heard some students near her spread groundless gossip, which enraged her. She berated them, “What are you talking about? How is that any of your business if he has a dragon pet or not? Even if he didn’t have one, he would still be more powerful than you. Don’t speak evil words here!”

The students that were unhappy about Su Ping were surprised. When they saw that it was Su Lingyue, those students swallowed their resentment.

Su Lingyue to the first graders was Ye Hao to the third graders. She was the bully!

That being said, those students were ashamed to be scolded like this even though they knew how strong Su Lingyue was, and that they weren’t her opponent. One of the girls frowned and said, “That is the truth. Can we not speak of the truth?”

“You can but you’re not worthy enough to do so!” Su Lingyue glared at her coldly.

That girl was frightened by Su Lingyue’s presence. She ground her teeth in anger. “Su Lingyue, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re the champion of grade one!”

“I do whatever I want? How dare you use those words? I will send you to the school clinic if I hear you gossiping again!” Su Lingyue’s voice was still chilly. “Never mind. Let’s go.”

“Don’t provoke her.”

The other students were afraid to say more. They dragged that girl away with them.

Su Lingyue looked away as they left. Still, she looked awful and felt frustrated.

Soon, she came back to her senses because her emotions had surprised her.

Why would she be so angry when people were talking about that mean guy?

This realization fueled her anger even more.

d.a.m.n it!

At the same time, at the office of academic studies.

Not long after Su Ping left, Luo Fengtian and the other students went to Dong Mingsong’s office with the old man, the middle-aged man, and the young, charming girl.

Dong Mingsong went to them with a big smile as his guests arrived. He asked the old man to sit down on the couch, then he poured him a cup of tea and said, “Why didn’t you let me know that you were coming? I should have greeted you at the entrance.”

Zhou Yunchan sat down and replied with a smile, “You don’t have to do that. We know the way.”

Dong Mingsong laughed and indulged in a bit of small talk.

Zhou Yunchan observed Dong Mingsong but failed to see anything out of place. He was wondering if Dong Mingsong was faking it or if he had no idea of what had happened by the gate.

Zhou Yunchan believed it was most likely the second explanation. After all, the incident had happened not long before and they had shown up unannounced. That young man was most likely attending a cla.s.s and would probably not tell Dong Mingsong about that incident himself. As he thought this, Zhou Yunchan relaxed himself and said some words with underlying meaning to Dong Mingsong, “Dong, there’s so much I don’t know about you!”

Dong Mingsong was not expecting this. “What do you mean? We two are of similar strength, right?”

Zhou Yunchan made a bah sound and laughed. “Don’t think that I don’t know about your secrets.” “Secrets?” Dong Mingsong was surprised. Something changed on his face. He picked up his cup of tea and took a sip because suddenly, he felt his mouth was parched and his tongue scorched. “What secrets do I have?”

“Let’s see how many lies you can make up.” Zhou Yunchan sneered. “Our students met that person, just outside your gate.”

“Outside the gate?” Dong Mingsong changed his steady countenance for fear. Even the teacup trembled in his hand. “That person is

here?”

“What?” Zhou Yunchan was slightly stunned. He felt this conversation had made a strange turn, “Isn’t that person supposed to be here? Where else would that person go?”

Dong Mingsong glared at him.

How would that be normal?

How could that person come to school? If people were to find out…

Zhou Yunchan felt something was off in Dong Mingsong’s reaction. The former frowned. He stopped beating around the bush and said, “Answer me this. What’s his name? Which grade?”

“The name is Ye Hong…” Halfway through his sentence, Dong Mingsong noticed something didn’t add up. Which grade?

All of a sudden, he knew where he went wrong. He blushed a bit and cleared his throat. “What are you talking about? I misunderstood.”

“You sly fox. Quit pretending! Your words have already slipped out!” Zhou Yunchan was enraged. He slapped on the table. “Ye Hong is the name, right? Tell him to wait. How can he walk away after he beat up my students? This is outrageous. Is this how Phoenix Peak Academy treats its guests?”

Dong Mingsong knew Zhou Yunchan had misunderstood him. At the same time, Dong Mingsong was curious about what Zhou Yunchan was referring to. “What do you mean about him beating up your students and walking away?”
