The Thirty-Second Chapter: Ripples Rise Again

  The next day, I went to class, still the six of us and a bear. But I felt really uncomfortable, because people on the street kept pointing at us and talking about us. This situation got even worse after we entered the school, with both familiar and unfamiliar faces gathering around us, asking this and that. Some bold girls even took advantage of my carelessness to be rude to me! It's really too much! Ah~! I guess this is just the sorrow of being a celebrity!

  The brothers' performance was surprisingly unrighteous, they all scattered and ran away, causing Xianya and me to be chased by the teacher, and only then did the teacher save us. Then there were strange looks from classmates in the class, with jealousy, admiration, and adoration, people are so complicated! Even the princess was no exception, clinging to me to ask about yesterday's situation! They didn't even go to the scene to see, just heard someone say it wasn't fun, wanting to hear me tell it carefully!

  Fortunately, I had a good foundation from listening to Master Jueyuan of Shaolin Temple's lectures and sermons since childhood. With my three-inch tongue, I turned the less-than-one-minute duel into a spectacular show, dragging it on for a whole episode. Due to our special backgrounds and being the best students, the teacher favored us and turned a blind eye. Later, he even ended class early and joined the other classmates in listening to me brag!

  Finally finished blowing, the teacher said: "Great! Really great!"

  The poor Taoist hastily humbled himself and said: "Teacher, you're overpraising me! I still have many things to learn from you!"

  "Haha! You're being too polite. Alright, everyone disperse!" The teacher told me: "The principal asked me to inform you to go see him after class, you and Xianya go together!"

  "Ah!" I replied, but somehow I had a bad feeling about this!

  I and Xianya rode a carriage to the principal's office, which is a luxurious office located on the top floor of the teaching building! The furniture was all made of the best camphor wood, and the sofas were made of high-quality demon beast skin, worth tens of thousands of gold coins. It seems that this principal is not an ordinary corrupt official!

  I found that the four brothers were also there, our principal, Wickram, a sly-looking old man with a cunning face, sat behind a huge office desk. His thin body was not much bigger than a dwarf's, but this desk could seat eight minotaurs, and this big-and-small combination looked so ridiculous!

  "Now, I announce the school's disciplinary decision regarding your beating of a classmate!" The old man's words were shocking.

  "What did you say? On what grounds are you punishing me?" The poor Taoist shouted: "I don't accept it!"

  "No matter what you think! The school has already decided that the six of you beat up a classmate, forced a classmate to run naked, caused serious harm to a classmate, and had an extremely bad influence on the school's image! First, it is decided that all of you will be expelled!" The old man said viciously.

  "Waaah~!" Xian Ya was timid and suddenly faced a huge change, she immediately burst into tears! Her brothers also looked tense! Each of them stared blankly, at a loss for what to do! But I'm not someone who's easily intimidated! I'm not afraid of that old scoundrel!

  "Bullshit! It was clearly them who hit me! Are you stupid?!" The poor Taoist got angry, pointing at his nose and scolding. This guy is shameless!

  "How dare you speak to me like that?" The old man was furious, his status was very high, even the emperor would treat him with respect, but now he was being scolded by a young whippersnapper!

  "What are you talking about, you're just an old fool!" The poor Taoist said to Xianya and the brothers: "What's there to be afraid of? This idiot dares to expel us? Unless he's tired of living! Don't worry, I've got everything under control! Xianya, don't cry, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

  "Is that so? Hmph! Even if you're the king himself, you can't change my decisions. This is my territory and I'm in charge!" The old man said with a self-satisfied tone.

  Xianya originally didn't cry anymore, but after hearing this, tears flowed out again, pitifully looking at me with a sorrowful gaze. I felt an inexplicable pang of sadness! Alas! Even if it means stirring up trouble, I mustn't let Xianya down!

  As I thought about it, I stroked Xianya's hair and said, "Believe me, no one can make you sad and cry!" Xianya nodded obediently. I turned my head to the principal and said, "An idiot is an idiot! If Your Majesty can't do something, why can't I?"

  "Haha! Kid! Do you think this is too arrogant?" The old man said with a sly smile.

  "Heaven can forgive those who have committed evil, but one cannot live after committing evil oneself! You're asking for death, and I won't be polite about it!" The poor monk said solemnly to him.

  "What? You wouldn't be thinking of sending someone to assassinate me, would you?" The old man was a bit nervous. "I know you have money, but don't forget, I'm a magic guide! There are only a handful of magic guides in the entire country! If I were to be assassinated by you, His Majesty won't let you off!"

  "Don't think of me as being as shameless as you!" The poor Taoist said disdainfully to him.

  "So what do you want?"

  "There's a rule in school!" The poor Taoist said slowly: "Students who do not obey the teacher's decision can propose a duel, and if they win, the teacher's decision will be abolished. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

  "That's the teacher, I'm the principal!" The old man came to his senses

  "This is the school rule, specially formulated by the first king of Great Han to suit the national policy of ruling the country with military power. Whoever you are, you must obey it. Do you dare tell His Majesty that you're an exception?"

  "Alright! So you think you can definitely win against me?" The old man said confidently: "I'm not Shiina Shirou, your tricks for dealing with warriors won't work on me!"

  "In my eyes, you're not much stronger than a pig!"

  "You! You're going too far!" The old man angrily said: "I agree! But when a teacher and student engage in a duel, the principal is the fair witness. Now that the principal and student are dueling, who will be the witness?"

  "With your identity and mine, Your Majesty will naturally be fair!"

  "Wouldn't it be inappropriate to disturb Your Majesty?" The old man didn't want to trouble the Dragon family, but was forced by the Ishihara family to expel us. Such an unseemly affair would naturally not wish to disturb His Majesty. Unfortunately, things have come to this point and he can't help but do so!

  "Wait for your lord's notice! Let's go!" After finishing speaking, the poor Taoist led his men away.

  This is no trivial matter, and we must first discuss it with the family. After arriving home, I told Grandfather and Mother about what had happened, and Father was also present!

  "Hmph! You're really good at being a useless clan leader! What trivial matters do you dare to bother the Dragon family with?" Grandfather expressed his dissatisfaction towards Father.

  Father's face turned red with anger, but he didn't dare to retort. Mother couldn't bear it and said: "Father, how can you blame the heavens? It was all Xiao Wu's fault!"

  "Hmph! The Dragon family has fallen to the point where they can't even protect a troublemaking child, and you're not blaming him?" Grandfather angrily said: "When he was young, did he cause any small troubles? From high-ranking officials to ordinary civilians, who hasn't he beaten? How many people has he killed? And how many has he crippled? But when I was the head of the clan, why didn't anyone expel him? Being expelled, do you want the Dragon family's face to be completely lost? Now that he's just a mage, he dares to ride on the Dragon family's head and defecate. How can I still stay in the noble circle in the future? You good-for-nothing thing!"

  It's clear that Grandfather was furious, seeing Father being scolded unjustly. I quickly said: "There is still room for redemption in this matter. This dead bastard is asking for it himself, let me just fulfill his wish?"

  "How can I make it up to you!" Mother said

  "I've already challenged this son of a bitch according to school rules!"

  "Good! This is the true blood of our dragon family! Don't be like your father, getting weaker with each passing day! Don't hold back, I want him dead!" Grandfather said.

  "Father! That's a magic master who can cast fifth-level magic instantly. Can our child beat him?" Mother said anxiously.

  "Hmph! A 7th-level scroll of protection, and a fatal 'Roar of the Furious Dragon'! If you can't withstand it, then you're not worthy to be my grandson!"

  "Not bad, I want to make it bigger! Find His Majesty's justice! We must let these guys know that a tiger is not a sick cat!"

  "You two take Xiao Wu with you! The time is set for this afternoon, and I'll be watching in person. Also, this time we must bet at least 5 million! I'm going to make Shi Gen Xiong Er go bankrupt!" Grandfather said viciously.

  The king was having tea and admiring flowers with Queen Shō in the palace garden, and upon hearing that we had come, he was greatly surprised. He ordered someone to bring us seats, and then asked our purpose in coming.

  This is naturally what Mother said. I stole a glance at the Princess of Ishihara, her skin was as white as snow, her face was delicate and beautiful, her figure was slender, she was a top-notch beauty, I really don't know how Ishihara Koji, who was not much better than a beast, could have given birth to such a stunning woman! Maybe it's a case of mistaken parentage? The evil thought occurred to me.

  "What is Principal Wycliffe doing?! This is outrageous! I'll have him rescind this decision at once!" the king exclaimed.

  "Hey! Your Majesty, you can't just listen to one side of the story, can you? At least call Principal Wycliffe over for a confrontation?" The sly look on Princess Ishihara's face really makes me sick!

  "Very well, summon him!" said the king.

  "Your Majesty, you can ask him about what happened, but I don't want you to intervene in this matter. The dignity of the Long family cannot be maintained by relying on your relationship!" Mother said.

  "But Xiao Wu had just dueled yesterday and is dueling again today, aren't you afraid of exhausting him?" the king said.

  "Serves him right for dying! Who told this little rabbit to always cause me trouble?" his mother said viciously.

  "The king was at a loss for words."

  After the arrival of Wycliff, the magician. He confessed to his 'crime' without hesitation. The king wanted to mediate, but unfortunately, his mother's firm attitude made him powerless, and the duel was decided!

  What a regret for Weikela, the demonic conductor! He really didn't expect the Long family to react so fiercely! Judging from the situation, even if he wins, he'll still be secretly killed by the Long family. If he loses, he'd be too ashamed to live! It's indeed a dilemma! So he had no choice but to consult with Ishihara Kuma II and after getting his promise of safety, he finally made up his mind to defeat Puer Dao to death!
