24 Chapter 24: Throw Him Ou (2/2)
”It has begun!”
Yao Han's eyes light up and the edges of his mouth creep upwards.
If that Zhang Xuan was only the last in the entire academy, Yao Han wouldn't be bothered to interfere in his affairs. However, to think that he would dare to be disrespectful to the young mistress!
If Zhang Xuan didn't execute some underhanded tricks, how could the young mistress possibly willingly acknowledge him as her teacher?
If Yao Han were to make a move personally, he would definitely incur the ire of the young mistress, not to mention offending the Hongtian Academy at that. It would be more than ideal for Wang Tao to make a move in his stead!
Hongtian Academy is located in Tianxuan Royal Capital, the home ground of the Wang family. Even if Wang Tao were to beat up a teacher, they would definitely have the means to deal with it! Furthermore, Wang Tao is the disciple of an elder and holds an esteemed position in the academy. It is much more appropriate for him to make a move.
”Hehe, I would like to see how would that trash of a teacher embarrass himself...”
The more he thinks about it, the more delighted he gets. Yao Han creeps towards the doorstep, intending to open up a crack between the doors and peek through it when he hears a boom and the tightly-shut doors burst open.
Peng!
Yao Han didn't even have the time to react from the sudden assault by the metal door. It slams right into his face, rattling his consciousness. In the midst of his daze, a head comes crashing into him!
Kacha!
The intimate encounter between his face and the head creates the crisp melody of the cracking of a bone and the two remaining teeth that survived yesterday's attack after much difficulty dislodges valiantly.
”Pu!”
The intense pain causes Yao Han to convulse and a mouthful of fresh blood bursts forth.
His body isn't fragile, but... he had yet to recover from his injuries from the prior day. Yesterday, he had been bashed in his face and now, he was slammed by a metal door before a head comes crashing into him right after... It is already quite a blessing for him to be alive at this point.
”Young master...”
Old Liu realizes that the one who was sent flying was his young master and he dashes over, frightened.
”Damn it, damn it!”
Wang Tao might have knocked into the metal door, but with Yao Han cushioning his fall, he isn't severely injured by that encounter. Standing up and recalling how the 'trash' caught his blow and threw him out, he feels an intense fear. Although he shouted loudly, he didn't dare to approach the classroom anymore.
”Young master Wang Tao, you... you...”
Faint-headed, Yao Han only realizes at this point that the one who knocked into him is Wang Tao. With an intrigued expression, he struggles to stand up.
Didn't you rush in to beat him up? How come you are the one who was sent flying out?
”I... I was practicing as a new type of battle technique!” Wang Tao didn't dare to say that he had been thrown out by a 'trash', so he could only come up with something else.
”Battle technique?” Yao Han's vision is still blurry from the previous impact. He hurriedly questions, ”Did you expose the true face of that fellow? How did our young mistress react...”
”Cough cough. I... I didn't have the time to make a move when my younger sister pushed me out. I think... why don't we try waiting here!” Wang Tao says with an embarrassed look.
Just a moment ago, he was still declaring how he would make the other party suffer. Yet, the next moment, he was sent flying out. He wouldn't acknowledge such a shameful affair even if he were beaten to the verge of death!
”Wait?”
Yao Han scratches his head as doubts appear in his mind. However, he didn't think that he should point them out, so he chooses to change the topic instead, ”Wang Tao shaoye, I have a question to ask of you, seeing how you are also a student of Hongtian Academy!”
Shaoye -> Young master
”Go ahead!”
Seeing how Yao Han doesn't continue pursuing the events that transpired in the classroom, Wang Tao heaves a sigh of relief and replies.
”Is there any female teachers in the academy who has 'Bi' in their name?” Recalling the fellow who beat him up the previous day, Yao Han's anger billows.
”Bi? The most famous one of them all is the academy's female goddess, Shen Bi Ru! I heard that Zhang Xuan laoshi wanted to court her as well. He is truly a toad lusting over... the flesh of a swan...”
Halfway through his words, Wang Tao pauses abruptly.
Before this, everyone knew that Zhang Xuan's abilities were sub-par and his capability as a teacher was horrendous as well. With such standards, he dared to pursue the academy's female goddess Shen Bi Ru... That's why everyone termed him as such. Now that Wang Tao has experienced the other party's strength first-hand and understands that he is on a different level from him, he finds it unnatural to continue saying that he is a toad lusting over the flesh of a swan!
”Shen Bi Ru? Zhang Xuan wants to court her?” Yao Han's eyes light up as he comes to a realization. The person whom the fellow yesterday was talking about must be her. He continues asking, ”Other than Zhang laoshi, is there anyone else who is courting her?”
”Shen laoshi is incredibly beautiful, the teachers who wish to court her are far too many for me to count. However, the most famous of them all is the grandson of Elder Shang Chen, Shang Bin laoshi!” After pondering for a moment, Wang Tao looks over in suspicion, ”Why is butler Yao asking such a question?”
”Oh, I am just casually asking!”
Yao Han doesn't touch any further on the topic, but a glint flashes past his eyes.
”I will be able to ascertain it after looking into whether this Shang Bin had gotten into a conflict with Zhang Xuan yesterday. If it really is him, regardless of whether he is the son of an elder, I would definitely make him suffer...”
When had the butler of the Baiyu City Lord, a figure that rises above the others, standing beneath only an individual, suffered such a great injustice!
If he doesn't seek vengeance on him, it would be hard to quell the resentment accumulating in his heart. For it, he is willing to turn into a demon!
.....................
While Yao Han is still considering whom he should find to gather intelligence, the person in question, Shang Bin, had just finished conducting a lesson and had left his classroom when he met a young man.
Cao Xiong laoshi!
