1837 A showdown? _1
Looking at Grandpa Leah’s expression, it was clear that he was very interested in these antiques. At this time, he was observing the metal plate with an undisguisable obsession in his eyes.
Leah shook her head. Her grandfather had always been like this. Sometimes, he would even abandon his experiments in order to study these antiques.
If he hadn’t spent so much energy on these things, he might have been able to focus on his experimental research and try to break through to a higher realm.
However, no one raised an opinion in this regard. Even if the Dean had a tendency to play around and lose his ambition, his achievements in the field of artisans still needed to be looked up to by later generations.
Perhaps it was because he had learned by analogy, but it was this obsession and seriousness that had allowed the Dean to have his current achievements.
“Grandfather, it’s better if you don’t study that metal plate first. Didn’t you say that you have something to tell Tang Zhen?”
Not wanting to give Tang Zhen the cold shoulder, Leah reminded him in a low voice.
After hearing Leah’s words, the Dean seemed to wake up from a dream. He raised his head and looked at Tang Zhen again.
His originally kind eyes once again had a trace of affection.
Leah has already told me about your experience on the island. If it weren’t for you, she might have been in great danger, so I have to thank you.
Tang Zhen hurriedly shook his head when he heard this, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
“Sit down first. I’ve prepared some special food. I guarantee you’ve never eaten it before.”
The Dean invited Tang Zhen to take a seat. After which, he gently shook the bell beside the table. Immediately after, Tang Zhen saw the branches above his head continuously dance.
One by one, items were brought over by the branches from afar and gently placed on the table. It could even be done to pour tea.
From the nimble movements of the branches, one could tell that they could not only illuminate, but also be ordered around as servants. In critical moments, they could even be used to fight and protect their master.
If they could carry plates, they could naturally carry knives and guns.
It didn’t take long for the table to be filled with all kinds of food. The color, smell, and taste of the food were all great, and it greatly increased one’s appetite.
Under the Dean’s invitation, Tang Zhen tried a few types of food. As expected, it was incomparably delicious.
After chatting for a while, the Dean sent Leah away and talked to Tang Zhen about white.
“According to my understanding, the city Lord’s style of doing things is more extreme and overprotective, and very conceited.
Since he’s determined that his son’s death is related to you, he definitely won’t let this matter rest.
So, you have to be more careful in the coming days. If you really can’t handle it, you can come to my laboratory to hide.
With me here, they definitely won’t dare to be impudent.”
The reason why the Dean of the Academy took the initiative to offer protection was naturally because Tang Zhen had saved Leah. This could be considered as a way to repay Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen had saved Leah back then, and now the Dean had blocked the city Lord’s mansion’s revenge for him. They could be considered to be even.
However, with Tang Zhen’s methods, it was only a matter of a single thought for him to destroy the city Lord’s mansion. He did not wish to waste the other party’s favor like this.
“Please rest assured, Dean. I can handle this matter. If they really want to play any tricks, I, Tang Zhen, will accompany them.
To put it arrogantly, if he doesn’t want to be the city Lord anymore, or if he doesn’t want to live, I don’t mind helping him.”
Tang Zhen did sound a little arrogant when he said such words in front of a Dean.
One had to know that the other party was not only a city Lord, but also an intermediate artisan. In the eyes of outsiders, he was stronger than Tang Zhen in every aspect.
This was also the reason why most people were not optimistic about Tang Zhen’s declaration of war. Some even secretly laughed at him in their hearts.
The reason for the ridicule was naturally because Tang Zhen had overestimated himself.
After the Dean heard Tang Zhen’s words. She frowned slightly, then carefully sized him up.
young people must act according to their ability when they speak. Are you sure you have the ability? ”
Although the Dean’s tone was not very good, it was also out of good intentions, and there was even a hint of probing.
He admired Tang Zhen’s talent. At the same time, he had to take care of his granddaughter’s feelings. He naturally did not wish for Tang Zhen to act on impulse.
Tang Zhen smiled and gently nodded as he looked at the Academy’s headmaster who was sizing him up without blinking.
He felt that there was something wrong with the Dean’s attitude, but now was the time to show his strength. There was no need to be too humble.
The Dean nodded upon hearing this. since you’re so confident, then do it thoroughly. Make that guy disappear completely.
If you can do it, then I’ll help you clean up the mess. I guarantee that there won’t be any follow-up trouble.”
The Dean took a sip of tea and spoke casually. His tone was as if he was talking about family affairs.
However, the contents of his words were shocking. He had decided the life and death of a city Lord in the midst of a conversation.
As expected, being able to become the Dean of the creator Academy wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface. At the very least, this ruthlessness caused Tang Zhen to have a higher opinion of him.
If Tang Zhen did not guess wrongly, the Dean clearly wanted to use this opportunity to achieve some goal.
Otherwise, just saving Leah’s life wouldn’t have been enough for her to help him deal with the subsequent troubles.
The connections and resources required for this process were equally astonishing, and it was even more complicated than killing the city Lord.
Tang Zhen would never believe that the Dean did not have any ulterior motives.
then, can I Ask the Dean to tell me why you are doing this? ”
After hearing Tang Zhen’s question, the Dean smiled and turned to look at Leah, who was in the distance.
do you know why Leah’s parents aren’t in this city? it’s because he was framed by that guy when he was competing with the city Lord, so he was forced to leave.
He thought he was being secretive, but in fact, I already knew about it. I just pretended to be confused.
Since you have the ability to get rid of him, I naturally have to help you. It can be considered as revenge for my son.
Leah doesn’t know about this because I’ve never told her so that she won’t be under too much pressure.”
Tang Zhen nodded after hearing the Dean’s words. After which, he asked in a slightly curious tone,”Aren’t you afraid that I’ll speak without thinking, but in fact, I don’t have that ability, and instead expose my own secret?”
The Dean smiled mysteriously when he heard this. He placed an item on the table and gently pushed it in front of Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen glanced at the items on the table and felt that they were a little familiar. It seemed to be an accessory that Leah was wearing.
Tang Zhen’s mind turned and he understood the cause and effect of the matter. He smiled and shook his head.
He had indeed underestimated the abilities of an artisan. This item was always on Leah’s body, but he couldn’t see through its secret.
The old man must have known everything about his time with Leah, and that was why he had said those words to him.
Otherwise, he would not be able to avoid being reprimanded and then shamelessly boasting.
Seeing Tang Zhen reveal an expression of understanding, the Dean smiled and explained,”I only have one precious granddaughter, so I naturally have to take care of her. If you weren’t by my side, I would have helped her long ago.
But you’re too sly. You clearly have the ability to leave the cave, but you refuse to leave for the sake of the experiment. You even deceived my silly granddaughter.
In the end, I couldn’t stand it anymore and found out that your experiment was coming to an end, so I asked someone to warn the city Lord to open the cave as soon as possible.”
Tang Zhen came to a sudden realization when he heard this. He was still puzzled earlier as to why the cultivators of that town would suddenly choose to rescue them. It turned out that it was because of the Dean.
Fortunately, the things that the other party knew about were all deliberately shown by Tang Zhen. It didn’t matter even if the Dean knew about it.
When the Dean said this, he reached out and touched the metal plate that Tang Zhen had given him. He then said with a slightly solemn tone,”In fact, I’m very curious about your methods and origin. When you were trapped in the cave, I had someone investigate your origin, but there was no result.
That’s why I’m guessing that you’re from one of those reclusive clans. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain the strange techniques you’re using, as well as the fact that you’re deliberately hiding your strength and cultivation.
Actually, I don’t want Leah to have too much contact with you, for fear that you’ll hurt him. But I can’t respect her choice, in case this girl hates me for the rest of her life.
Fortunately, from your usual style of doing things, you don’t seem to be an evil person. This is the only thing I’m satisfied with.
So, be nice to Leah, and I’ll try my best to help you so that you don’t waste your talent.”
The Dean’s tone was filled with emotion. There was a kind of wisdom in his eyes that seemed to have seen through the world, as well as a faint expectation.
The reason why he would do these things was entirely because of his granddaughter. Of course, it was also related to the fact that Tang Zhen was indeed worth investing in.
