Chapter 513: Rumors

His spot was taken, and a single kick, how could that be enough?

At this moment, almost everyone stood on Wu Zunquan's side, seeking justice for him.

It was as if it were Lin Chao who had done something wrong.

The one who should be seeking forgiveness was Lin Chao.

"Then what do you want?" Zhao Qingyan suppressed his anger, "Could it be that you want to kill Junior Brother Wu?"

Hearing this, Lin Chao had a smile in his eyes: "Naturally, I dare not."

As he was now, having not yet joined the academy, killing Wu Zunquan like this would certainly bring trouble.

Revenge could be taken later, or it could be done quietly.

Wu Zunquan coughed, seemingly about to cough up blood, his face pale: "Senior Brother Zhao, the fault in this matter lies with me; receiving a kick from Junior Brother Xia Yang is what I deserve.

Junior Brother Xia Yang's spot is gone, and getting it back is incredibly difficult, but the fault is mine; I will go find Young Master Wang Longyang about this matter, and I will certainly make him give you, Xia Yang, an explanation."

"Senior Brother Wu is truly righteous!"

"Senior Brother Wu, you are just too kind."

The academy students present all stood on Wu Zunquan's side.

Liu Wenli, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't help but explode: "You all... are going too far, it is clearly Wu Zunquan who is in the wrong!"

These disciples who were once of the Qingxu Sect looked at Liu Wenli with disappointment in their eyes, and some even gloated.

In their view, Liu Wenli choosing to stay with Xia Yang, who had no future, to offend the rising star Wu Zunquan, was truly foolish to the extreme.

"Alright, let this matter end here." Zhao Qingyan spoke, delivering the final verdict, "Xia Yang, the ignorant are not guilty; you have already taught Wu Zunquan a lesson, so let this matter end here."

After Zhao Qingyan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves.

Clearly, he was issuing an order to leave.

Lin Chao looked at the people in the room, his expression calm.

"Fine."

Lin Chao left directly.

And Liu Wenli, who was in the room, saw this and followed him out.

"Brother Xia, wait for me."

Clearly, Liu Wenli had firmly stood on Lin Chao's side.

"Liu Wenli, thank you." The two walked out of the inn, and Lin Chao said softly.

For Liu Wenli to stand on his side required great courage.

"Brother Xia, it was clearly their fault, they went too far!" Liu Wenli said indignantly.

Clearly, he was quite angry.

"Brother Xia, what should we do next?" Liu Wenli had a worried look on his face, "Your spot has now been taken by someone else; finding Wu Zunquan won't solve the problem."

Liu Wenli was right.

Even if Wu Zunquan agreed to return Xia Yang's spot, Wu Zunquan's word didn't count for much.

The most important thing was to find the person who had taken Lin Chao's spot.

"You are right." Lin Chao nodded.

Lin Chao would go find that son of the Prefect.

Of course, as for Wu Zunquan, Lin Chao would not let him off so easily either.

"But, that person is the son of the Prefect, with overwhelming power." Liu Wenli was extremely worried.

In Liu Wenli's view, the son of the Prefect was a big shot.

Wang Longyang had taken the spot, and people like them from small places had absolutely no ability to resist.

"Don't worry, I can solve this matter."

After all, Lin Chao had experienced many reincarnations and lived for endless years.

There were many ways to solve this kind of thing.

For example, using profit to entice him, cooperating with the Prefect's son Wang Longyang, and making him voluntarily return the spot.

Qi Yang could casually display some medical skills, alchemy, or other ways of making money from other worlds to move Wang Longyang.

Even, he could use Wang Longyang to suppress Wu Zunquan.

Of course, Lin Chao would not use these methods.

For one, it was too troublesome, and for another, it would be letting Wang Longyang off too easily.

The simplest method was still... force.

Through the long years, Lin Chao understood that only strength was the foundation of everything.

Lin Chao had many ways to deal with people in this world.

However, he did not have much ambition; he just wanted to cultivate peacefully.

If people did not offend him, he would live and cultivate quietly, watching the clouds rise and fall; if they provoked him, he would not mind showing his fangs.

"Still alive?"

Wang Longyang clicked his tongue.

"Good luck, he should be someone of note in the future."

Wang Longyang had heard from Wu Zunquan that Xia Yang had been captured by horse bandits; he hadn't expected him to return alive.

Being able to survive a horse bandit den meant he must have had some extraordinary qualities.

However, what use were such extraordinary qualities?

This world was not lacking in geniuses.

What is lacking are Dao Soldiers.

As long as they meet the standards, anyone can wield Dao Soldiers.

Since anyone can wield Dao Soldiers, why not have those close to oneself control them?

"Young Master, shall we?" At this moment, a guest advisor stepped forward and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Wang Longyang chuckled: "Why resort to killing? If he is not sensible and truly comes to cause me trouble, I have plenty of methods to make him retreat in the face of difficulties."

"However, if he forcibly breaks into the Academy and makes a scene, this matter will also affect your reputation, Young Master." This guest advisor was very considerate of Wang Longyang.

Wang Longyang suddenly laughed: "Look, do I look like the Abyss-Suppressing Bright Emperor now?"

"The Great Saint King was full of sincerity, but because he controlled the strongest Dao Soldier of the Saint, he was feared by the Abyss-Suppressing Bright Emperor and ultimately killed by the Bright Emperor."

"Young Master, watch your words." The guest advisor said hurriedly.

"Your concerns are not without reason." Wang Longyang nodded, "Although he has not yet caused me trouble, since he might cause trouble, it is better to resolve it first."

"You instruct some people to spread the word that this Xia Yang colluded with horse bandits, which is why he survived the horse bandit den."

"A treacherous villain who cooperates with horse bandits comes to frame a student of the Academy with a bright future; I fear no one will believe what he says."

"I will go handle it now." The guest advisor said hurriedly.

Half a day later.

Lin Chao stood in front of a large courtyard; he stood quietly, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, a servant walked out.

"Young Master Xia Yang, our young master is currently entertaining an honored guest and I fear he cannot see you."

This servant was a subordinate of Wang Longyang.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chao said softly: "This concerns the Academy quota; Young Master Wang should still see me."

Today, Lin Chao was still following the established Rule, visiting Wang Longyang first.

If he returned the quota to him, everything would be easy to discuss.

If he had not, then Lin Chao could not be blamed for being impolite.

"Young Master Xia Yang can come again tomorrow; perhaps the young master will have time tomorrow."

After the servant finished speaking, he ignored Lin Chao and left directly.

Lin Chao glanced at the residence, feeling no anger.

He returned to the inn.

At this moment, Liu Wenli walked out with an angry expression on his face.

"Xia Yang, it's bad! Now all the students in the Academy are saying that you are cowardly and colluded with horse bandits, which is why you escaped from the horse bandit den!"

Hearing this, Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

This rumor appeared too coincidentally, and so quickly at that.

After all, he had only arrived here a short while ago.

He was originally just an Ordinary student, and almost no one paid attention to him.

Now that the rumor had spread, there must be someone behind it fanning the flames.

Lin Chao narrowed his eyes and said: "Is that so?"

A trace of killing intent surged in his eyes.
