Chapter 234: Predicament

“I am the parent of a student, and I am here to look for my son,” Lu Yu explained with a smile.
“So it’s the parents of the students. You two are so young that this old man here made a mistake.”
The Head of Academic Affairs wiped his presbyopic glasses and put them back on again. His stern expression vanished and he smiled rather awkwardly, “The students are listening to the lecture now, and they won’t be coming out for a while. Why don’t you just sit here for a while?”
“No need. I’ll look for Jiang Jun. He should be one of your teachers here.” Lu Yu said.
Oh, there’s one such guy who transferred here from somewhere else.” The Head of Academic Affairs glanced at the teachers’ roster at the bottom of the drawer and pointed to one of the names. “He’s on roster duty right now, inspecting the students’ dormitories.”
Moments later, Lu Yu dashed to the dormitory building.
The Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School was an academy where the children of many rich and influential people came to study. It was not only a symbol of status, but it was also a high school that the Capital City University focused on supporting. It received an annual allocation of billions of dollars in funding, and the school premises were done up in a resplendent manner.
Lu Yu also knew about Jiang Jun’s situation from Ying Mei’er. After he had transferred to the Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School as a teacher, Jiang Jun broke through to the Great Martial Master level. There was still one month to go before he could graduate from a trainee teacher to a full teacher.
However, it was also during this period that he suffered from the trouble the Ying family deliberately stirred up.
At this point, Lu Yu came to the teacher’s lounge in the dormitory building, waiting for Jiang Jun. There was no one in the teacher’s lounge, only a copy of the roster duties.
For a whole month, Jiang Jun was on roster duty. When he saw Lu Yu’s frown, Zheng Xiaochuan said somewhat gloatingly, “It seems that this friend of yours is not doing very well here as a teacher.”
Otherwise, he would not be reduced to taking over other teachers’ duties. Lu Yu shot a glance and Zheng Xiaochuan immediately retracted his gloating expression.
“These two students here… the lecture has already started. Why are you still here?” Jiang Jun, who had just returned, saw the back profiles of two youngsters in the teacher’s lounge and asked at once.
He was just a new trainee teacher without any roots here, and every student here was either rich or noble. He couldn’t assume the authoritative airs of a teacher.
“Haha… Mr. Jiang, it’s been a long while since we last met. Your cultivation has improved a lot,” Lu Yu said with a smile.
Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Jun frowned. When Lu Yu turned around, Jiang Jun was momentarily shocked to see the somewhat familiar, yet excessively young-looking face. Jiang Jun felt very moved, and there were even tears in his eyes.
“It’s you, Lord Lu! I knew you would come sooner or later. I’ve heard all about your accomplishments in Lunan City. You are a hero and I thank you on behalf of the people of Lunan City.”
Jiang Jun bowed deeply. Lu Yu hurriedly held him up and said, “Mr. Jiang, you have suffered much. It’s because of me that you have suffered all this.”
He did not explicitly say that what Jiang Jun had undergone was a result of the Ying family’s retaliation, afraid that he might frighten Jiang Jun.
“No, it’s me who should apologize to you. I’m sorry that I didn’t take care of your children.” Jiang Jun bowed his head even lower, with an apologetic look.
Standing by the side, when Zheng Xiaochuan heard the conversation between the two, an astounded look flashed across his eyes. The incident in Lunan City had rocked the whole capital. He was full of admiration for that guy Lu Yu, whom he heard had expended a monumental effort to save the desperate situation faced by Lunan City, and single-handedly saved the entire Lunan City by himself.
However, he didn’t expect that the person he admired to be this person before his eyes who had kidnapped him.
“Hey! Mr. Jiang, are they your relatives or your friends?” At this moment, a shrill, somewhat creepy voice rang out.
A female teacher wearing platform high heels and long black silk stockings, dressed up in a flamboyant way, walked towards them. As the smell of high-class perfume assaulted their senses, she said, “Mr. Jiang, there is a little shortage of manpower today. The toilets at 320 are blocked and we need you to go and unblock them.”
Jiang Jun said, “For this kind of task, you can simply summon a cleaning staff over with a phone call.”
The female teacher urged him and replied, “Aunt Zhang called me. She has something on and had to take leave today. We have to count on you.”
Jiang Jun’s expression clouded over instantly.
Asking a Great Martial Master who was responsible for teaching and educating people to do the job of unclogging toilets was simply humiliating a person. They had gone too far!
Seeing that Jiang Jun still did not go, this female teacher’s face clouded over. She placed her hands on her hips and said bluntly, “Jiang Jun, I have shown you respect, yet you refused to go. Do you think you have become capable?”
By his side, Lu Yu couldn’t take it anymore. He said in an icy tone, “Why don’t you go and do this sort of task?”
The female teacher’s face turned icy cold as she pointed at Jiang Jun’s face and berated ferociously, “Jiang Jun, take control of your poor relative. This is the Capital City University’s affiliated Third High School, and not a place where he can run wild. Otherwise, I will discipline him for you.”
Slap! A palm landed squarely on the female teacher’s face. A palm print appeared on that half of her delicate face.
Looking at Zheng Xiaochuan who had reached out and hit her, the female teacher was full of disbelief. She began scolding like a deranged shrew, screaming, “How dare you hit me?”
Zheng Xiaochuan roared out furiously, “I not only have the guts to hit you, but I also have the guts to stomp on you!”
He had great tolerance for women, but the scene before him infuriated him so much that he could not contain himself anymore. He stuck out a foot and ruthlessly kicked out.
Although he was a kidnap victim, he was nonetheless a true blue Great Martial Master. He was considered a genius among the younger generation in the capital. The power of this kick sent the woman flying, slamming against the wall. The wall started cracking from the collision with her body, radiating a dense web of fissures.
“Argh!” This female teacher screamed shrilly, her eyes bursting out with malicious, resentful flames. Her true energy began surging and the aura of a Grade 5 Great Martial Master erupted as she attacked Zheng Xiaochuan straightaway.
Zheng Xiaochuan immediately leaped. His body was incredibly nimble. Leaving behind only a series of afterimages, a foot suddenly kicked out from one of the afterimages.
The aura of a Grade 5 Great Martial Master suddenly stalled. The female teacher was once again kicked away. She began coughing out blood from her mouth, and her whole aura became quite chaotic.
“What’s going on? How dare someone cause trouble here? Are they tired of living?”
The commotion here attracted several other teachers, who dashed here angrily. Cultivators had strong, muscular bodies to begin with, and they were much taller than most ordinary people. They surrounded Lu Yu and Zheng Xiaochuan now like a series of small mountains.
“Teach them a good lesson for me!” The female teacher berated angrily while holding her face.
“Teacher Tang, wait a while. I will help you restore your honor right away!” This female teacher was not only beautiful, but she also had a hot body. Her status was quite high and was the goddess in their hearts. At this moment, when such an opportunity to show off presented itself, they must, of course, put up a good show.
At once, five or six teachers surrounded Zheng Xiaochuan and launched an attack. Powerful waves of true energy erupted successively.
“Fuck! Six against one. You guys are so fucking shameless!” Zheng Xiaochuan couldn’t help but spew out expletives. He chided ferociously, “If you have the guts, take on me one by one.. Let’s see if I don’t beat the shit out of you!”
