Wu Junyi nodded “I knew froh a reco that, I didn’t want you here as an electives teacher Frankly speaking, when the dean asked that we start you at the associate professor level, I balked I was in cohted I’d like to apologize to you, Professor Lan” As he spoke, he actually bowed low at the waist to his e Director Wu up

Just then, a powerful expulsion of force radiated from Wu Junyi’s shoulders It was intense, and far beyond what any normal man could sustain

Lan Jue’s response was immediate, and subconscious His Discipline flared to protect hihtening aura had dissipated

No! Lan Jue’s face scrunched in a frown the moment he realized he’d been tricked It was too late

Sparks of dancing electricity raced over Director Wu’s body A yellow light covered him like a membrane to protect from the eainst the wall

Lan Jue straightened, and a bitter smile spread across his face “What’s this about, Director?”

The Director chuckled, pleased at the success of his deception “It’s reat talent! Now that we knoever, it’s ti Affairs for the National Eastern University, it iselectives I ask you pick aThat was your discipline, wasn’t it? Powerful!”

Lan Jue sighed This cunning fox! He was sh to catch the holes in my story

“Director Wu, as it stands you currently have two choices: First, I in and leave the school Second, you act like nothing has changed I continue on with my etiquette class and no one’s the wiser Peaceful, quiet co-existence”

A pale blue light flickered around the ht in his eyes The entire teaching office grew heavy with an oppressive energy that threatened to suffocate Director Wu

Wu Junyi’s suspicions had begun when he’d witnessed hi scientist’s reputation that was the biggest give-away And so, hearing Lan Jue had returned today, he went first thing to go and confront him The sudden release of his powers had been a test

As expected, Lan Jue had had no choice but to react with his oers He saw everything clearly then, why else would he be ser teacher, under the weight of that terrible aura, he stood strong and still as though nothing were amiss 1 He let the Jewelry Master’s poash over him like a tide, and did not resist

Wu Junyi’s face bore a s a post of your choosing is a ic dictates that there must be a reason for your presence A man of your status, here on a mission, certainly will not leave utill thatto walk away fro more to say 2”

Lan Jue fixed Wu Junyi with those electric blue eyes He stood tall and proud, a king in his kingdo here was under his purview But if he was a king, he was a rascally one!

“Director… being too smart is traditionally very bad for a person’s health,” Lan Jue threatened

Wu Junyi would not be cowed, and when he addressed Lan Jue he did so with a righteous countenance “My deathif it’s for the development and future of our University”

Lan Jue’s face went stiff He was starting to realize that Director Wu’s greatest strength didn’t co brain and insufferable pride!

“Is that really what you want?” Lan Jue asked helplessly

Wu Junyi responded with a soft laugh “Of course not! I’ an employee It’s criree? Ah yes, and unless I’m mistaken the pilot of that blue mecha on Lir was you Indeed, you are the hero of Lir – a hero for all of humanity I’m sure there would be no end of media attention as they tried to uncover your plethora of courageous deeds As your colleague, I feel it’s my responsibility to help you disseminate this information I also deeply feel it would be in both of our best interests that ork froh He wanted to allow his Discipline to explode like a volcano, but he fought to control it Growling through gritted teeth, he addressed the cunning older rity, Director!”

Wu Junyi chortled, a sinister smile plastered on his face “I have always treated rity! And now that you’ve shown your hand, I think it’s fair to assu the educational exchange also bears your fingerprints Tang Xiao has also been cagey about his whereabouts, so I took a look at the school’s security footage He see an awful lot lately You are an instructor – we, are all instructors here For the benefit of the next generation, for the future of our university, Professor Lan, I’d like to officially invite you to advance to an official post!” Wu Junyi’s voice had slowly grown more powerful and i with power and sincerity 3
