Chapter 303: Chapter 285: The Town Martial Department Shields Its Own, Have They No Bottom Line?
"Don’t do any more martial arts practice for the next few days. Stay in your dorm and rest up!"
"If you feel any discomfort, come back immediately. Got it?"
School Medical Bureau.
An upperclasswoman in a white coat and black-framed glasses examined Zhou Qi’s injuries.
Fortunately, it wasn’t anything serious. No broken bones.
However, he did have some minor internal injuries.
He would recover completely if he just took it easy for a few days.
But before Zhou Qi could speak,
Wei Nan quickly smiled and said, "Yes, thank you, senior. We’ll definitely look after him!"
The upperclasswoman glanced at him, a chill radiating from her icy expression.
Lin Yi walked over and patted Wei Nan’s shoulder.
"Alright, let’s go."
"Senior, we’ll be going now!"
"Okay!"
The upperclasswoman nodded lightly, brushed back her bangs, and pushed up her glasses.
When she looked at Lin Yi, the corners of her mouth even curved up slightly.
It wasn’t until the group had left the School Medical Bureau that Wei Nan spoke.
He frowned and said, "Holy shit, that’s not fair!"
"Why does she pay attention to you but not me?"
"When I tried to talk to her, she didn’t even respond. But when you talk to her, she’s all smiles?"
Zhou Qi and Sun Tao couldn’t help but laugh.
Shen Mengyi was even more blunt: "She’s not into you, obviously. She’s definitely into Senior Brother Lin!"
"What woman wouldn’t fall for a man as outstanding as Senior Brother Lin?"
At her words, Wei Nan’s face filled with envy.
He sighed and said, "Sigh, the gap between us is just getting bigger and bigger!"
"Great talent, a high level, and you can even invent your own spear techniques. You have your pick of all the girls, from freshmen to seniors... Lin Yi, I’m so damn envious of you right now!"
Lin Yi smiled and glanced at him. "Just focus on your training. Once your level is high enough, you won’t have a shortage of women either!"
"By the way, have you all eaten yet?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qi and Sun Tao exchanged a look.
"Don’t tell us you haven’t eaten yet?"
Lin Yi glanced at the sun. "It’s almost noon. Time for lunch, isn’t it?"
"Noon? It’s just after ten, okay?"
"Don’t tell me you’re hungry?"
When Lin Yi nodded, they were all a little stunned.
’How long has it been since breakfast?’
’Although Lin Yi didn’t eat on campus this morning,’
’the time between meals is still way too short.’
’Besides, Zhou Qi and Wei Nan have been training all morning and they aren’t even hungry yet.’
However, to keep Lin Yi company,
Wei Nan and Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Then let’s head to the cafeteria! We’ll just have lunch early!"
"Come on, and you can tell us what you were up to on Dragon Tiger Mountain these past few days!"
"Right, right! I almost forgot to ask. Did you become a disciple?"
Listening to their questions, Lin Yi smiled and nodded.
"I did, and I discovered that Dragon Tiger University is very interesting..."
"How is it interesting? Quick, tell us about it!"
Talking and laughing, the group walked toward the cafeteria.
The students they met along the way would look at Lin Yi with unconscious reverence.
The Lin Yi of today had long since shed the label of an "Old District Outcast."
He had already become the Martial Arts standard-bearer of Xingwu University.
They were even envious of Zhou Qi, Wei Nan, and the others.
’It must be wonderful to be friends with Lin Yi.’
...
「In the principal’s office.」
Tang Baichuan sat behind his desk.
His expression was grim; he had just received some news.
Xu Tai had been severely injured while sparring with Lin Yi.
He had been sent to the School Medical Bureau for treatment.
"Principal Tang, how should we handle this?"
"Even though it was a spar, Xu Tai was severely injured. Once the Xu Family or the Town Martial Department learns of this, I’m afraid they won’t let it go easily!"
"The Xu Family is one thing, but the Town Martial Department is the real problem..."
Old Qiao stood before the desk, speaking with a grave expression.
Tang Baichuan looked up at him. "You can handle the Xu Family."
"The Town Martial Department... do they already know about this?"
"Not yet, but with the fallout from this spar, it won’t be long before word reaches the Town Martial Department!"
"This has already gone beyond the scope of a spar. With such a serious injury, it’s classified as a brawl!"
Tang Baichuan nodded.
If this matter were to involve the Town Martial Department, he feared even he would have a hard time handling it.
’Those people from the Town Martial Department don’t care about reason.’
’A brawl between Martial Artists is considered an extremely serious matter.’
’Never mind me, even the Demon Hunting Bureau couldn’t interfere with the Town Martial Department.’
"Yes, I understand."
"If people from the Town Martial Department show up, tell me immediately!"
"Yes, Principal Tang!"
Old Qiao nodded and turned to walk out.
Just as he was opening the door,
Tang Baichuan quickly added, "Old Qiao, how are Xu Tai’s injuries? Is it serious?"
"Well... he’s still unconscious!"
"But Physician Zhang from the School Medical Bureau says Xu Tai suffered internal injuries. He won’t be able to circulate his Qi and Blood for three months, let alone practice martial arts!"
"Xu Tai is the sole heir of the Xu Family. And although the Xu Family has declined somewhat, their influence is not to be underestimated!"
"So..."
Tang Baichuan nodded. "Alright, I get it. Go handle it for now."
"Understood!"
Old Qiao nodded and walked out.
The moment the door clicked shut,
Tang Baichuan picked up the landline on his desk, thought for a long moment, and dialed a number.
