"Then why don’t you find soone else to be the principal?" Le Yu pointed to himself, "Like , what do you think?"
"Trash." Cha Huan was blunt, "I’m not targeting you, I’m saying everyone’s trash."
"If soone caught my eye, I would’ve quit already, but excellent people don’t want to be principals. The ones staying are so leftover dishes, how can I be sure about handing over the Imperial Academy?"
"Over the years, the ones that caught my eye were just one and a half."
Le Yu: "What about the current four departnt tutors? Zhu Yan, Yan Yi, Lou Yin Hai... Who’s the Nightmare departnt tutor?"
"Zhu Yan is ticulous and thorough; he’s fine as a teacher, but not as a principal, or he’d suffocate; Lou Yin Hai is capable, but he has ntal issues, not to ntion principal, he can’t even be a decent teacher; as for Yan Yi, if she could sort out her emotional issues, she’d be a good candidate."
Cha Huan paused, his face changed: "Nightmare departnt tutor... Hmm!?"
"What’s wrong?" Le Yu asked.
"I even forgot who the Nightmare departnt tutor is." Cha Huan shrugged, "Clearly a person without presence, certainly can’t be the principal either."
"Compared to them, I should be a good choice, right?" Le Yu suggested himself, "Why not let be the acting principal for a trial?"
"You?" Cha Huan sneered and shook his head, "So you understand why I haven’t taken action against my enemies, right?"
Le Yu asked, "Because you’re scared?"
"Because I haven’t the faintest clue who wants to kill !" Cha Huan said helplessly, "Ever since I beca principal, no one dares to challenge face to face. Occasionally, a few brainless students, I just talk to their parents, the next day the student cos with a bruised face to apologize."
"Ordinary political disputes, that’s countless, if I really took action, at least half the Imperial Court would die."
"It’s really frustrating." Cha Huan slamd the table, "I haven’t t any trash in over thirty years, I want to do sothing and stretch, there are few opportunities besides beating students to exercise..."
It’s obvious; everyone knows about your exterminate-history, who dares challenge you face to face?
Others who threaten to ’kill your whole family’ lack both the guts and ability, while you have courage, capability, and a substantial record. Three Martial Pillars sent by the emperor couldn’t bring you to justice; who’d dare be disrespectful to a ’guy who’s killed family’ thug?
"And even if soone wants to kill , what’s that got to do with you wanting to be principal?"
Cha Huan asked, "This morning, all famous and nad marquises and ministers in Yanjing sent ssages, requesting I appoint an acting principal responsible for the Imperial Academy and the Seven Palaces’ safety, and by na, recomnded Qin Le Yin as the best choice... Did you know that, Teacher Qin? At that mont, I was really happy."
"Why happy?"
"Because I thought finally soone dared to challenge ."
"No way, no way, I absolutely didn’t an it that way." Le Yu shook his head repeatedly, imdiately caving, "Actually, I attended a eting last night about assassinating you and ..."
Le Yu briefly explained yesterday’s experiences, "I was thinking of using the Platinum Tower and Imperial Academy terrain to place Statistical Departnt personnel and trap the assassins, hence encouraging them to support Qin Le Yin as acting principal, this way I could set up in the Platinum Tower, and they have reasons to deploy most of their manpower there."
"This idea is interesting." Cha Huan stroked his beard, "But that’s obviously an excuse, what’s your honest reason?"
"I want to play around the Platinum Tower, try out being principal." Le Yu confessed.
"Alright, go play then. But borrowing the Sea of Consciousness is out of the question, you can only do that if you truly beco principal."
Cha Huan’s straightforwardness stunned Le Yu, he asked, "You’re agreeing?"
"Why not agree to sothing so interesting?" Cha Huan laughed, "I’m looking forward to hanging those bold thugs on the streetlights outside the Platinum Tower. Recently, students have beco sowhat unruly, just can use it to scare them."
Le Yu felt that students wanting to blow up the Platinum Tower couldn’t really be blad.
"Then what do you plan to do?" Le Yu said, "I suggest you stay on duty in the Imperial Court until dawn, no matter what happens at the Academy, don’t return."
"I must return." Cha Huan said, "Slayer Emissary, Three Gun Disciples, Brotherhood and Curse Hunters’ experts are waiting for . If they find I’m not coming, they’ll turn to cause trouble at the Academy. Just relying on those junk agents from Fla System, they might not be able to handle these people."
"But if..."
"There’s no if." Cha Huan smiled, "Although I can’t tell you specifics now, that night I will borrow a Divine Weapon from the Imperial Court. When the ti cos, not just five Outer District experts, even five Martial Pillars, I can take them all head-on!"
"Borrowing a Divine Weapon!?" Le Yu blinked, "You have such good relations with the Imperial Family?"
Cha Huan shook his head, "No, forget about that fool Xianzong, his son is sowhat better but still a talentless amateur. I never had respect for them."
"But—"
"I get along very well with Xianzong’s wife, the current Empress Dowager."
Le Yu heard this story from ’Yin’, but thought it was a joke, didn’t expect it to be true, "So... your past romance rekindled?"
Cha Huan pondered, nodding, "Sort of like that."
"But—why didn’t you—weren’t you classmates back then? You were the top disaster, she was the top radiance..." Le Yu suddenly thought of a possibility, "Was it Emperor Xianzong intervening—"
"Well, this matter is sowhat embarrassing." Cha Huan hesitated, then said, "Back then, she and I both were proud individuals, neither willing to pursue the other, both trying all ans for each other to confess... But until we graduated, we never beca lovers."
Understood, the tragedy of two big egos clashing.
Cha Huan leaned against the chair, looking at the ceiling, showing a nostalgic expression, "That graduation night, we made a joke-like agreent: if we’re both still single in thirty years, we’ll be together."
"However, not long after, she was fervently pursued by the young Xianzong, and due to family constraints, entered the Imperial Court to beco a consort; whereas I committed that massacre case and fled Yanjing after being hunted by the Martial Pillars..."
"In the blink of an eye, thirty years passed like this."
"Now, I’m the principal of the Royal Academy in Yanjing."
"And she is the most respected Empress Dowager in the Imperial Family."
"More importantly," Cha Huan winked at Le Yu, "We’re both currently single."
