Chapter 1212 - 1212 Retreat For Advancement

1212 Retreat For Advancement

It was mealtime now, and there were quite a few people in the canteen. They had all heard Xue Fanxin’s words and seen what had just happened. Now that they thought about it carefully, it was really Lin Weiwei who had started the matter. It was indeed unfair for Xu Zheng to question and punish Xue Fanxin the moment he arrived.

However, Xu Zheng was the personal disciple of the Disciplinary Elder. It was said that he was quite valued, so no matter what they thought, they would not speak carelessly lest they offend others.

“Xu Zheng, it was Lin Weiwei who attacked first. Everyone saw it. If you really want to punish someone, then Lin Weiwei must be punished as well. Otherwise, we won’t accept it. If you really have the guts, then punish me as well. If you don’t have the guts, then don’t stand up here randomly, lest you don’t even know how you died.” Huo Lieyun stepped forward to speak. He had long been filled with anger, wishing he could punch Xu Zheng.

Although he and Shui Moning were not too close and had only known each other for a few days, as a new student of the Yellow Class, he naturally had to protect his own people.

Huo Lieyun’s personality was so unruly, arrogant, and condescending. Therefore, even though he was the Young Master of the Huo family, the number one family in the East Continent, the teachers from the Heaven and Earth Classes were unwilling to accept him. In the end, he was thrown to the Yellow Class.

Xu Zheng was still a little afraid of Huo Lieyun. After all, the number one family in the East Continent was not to be trifled with.

But so what?

When they reached the Five Elements Academy, no matter who it was, they had to abide by the academy’s rules. Even if the King of the East Continent himself came, he could not behave atrociously in the Five Elements Academy.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Zheng was not afraid of Xue Fanxin’s identity or the King of the Desolate Region. If he was outside and did not have the support of the Five Elements Academy, how could he dare to treat the granddaughter of the King of the Desolate Region like this?

However, so what? After all, he was the personal disciple of the Five Elements Academy’s Disciplinary Elder. His status was there, so he did not have to be afraid of Xue Fanxin or Huo Lieyun.

“Huo Lieyun, how dare you threaten me? Then I’ll punish you too.”

“I don’t care how you punish me. If you don’t punish Lin Weiwei today, then this matter won’t be over. I’m not afraid of making a fuss. The bigger the better. It’s best to make a fuss all the way to the Disciplinary Elder’s place and let him judge and see if your actions are right. If the Disciplinary Elder also thinks that you’re right, then I’ll admit defeat.”

“You…”

“You what? You’re using chicken feathers as an arrow. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because the Disciplinary Elder asked you to supervise the new students?”

“Xu Zheng, give me a definite answer. Will you punish Lin Weiwei too? If you punish her too, then we’ll go to the Disciplinary Hall to be punished now.” Xue Fanxin also forced Xu Zheng to punish Lin Weiwei.

Lin Weiwei’s expression was very ugly. She knew that Xu Zheng was in a difficult position, and she also knew that if today’s matter blew up, it would not do her any good. The only way now was to retreat in order to advance. “Senior Brother Xu Zheng, forget it. I was in the wrong today. I shouldn’t have attacked Shui Moning for personal reasons.”

With Lin Weiwei giving him a way out, Xu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. He took advantage of the situation and said, “Alright, since both of you are in the wrong and didn’t cause any serious damage, then we’ll forget about this matter. If anyone still dares to cause trouble, I’ll definitely punish them severely.”

Although Xu Zheng’s words were fair, everyone understood his intentions. They just did not say it.

Realizing that the gazes of the surrounding crowd were strange, Xu Zheng felt very embarrassed. He glared fiercely at Xue Fanxin and left with his people.

However, as soon as Xu Zheng left, a young man from the canteen walked over and said, “From today onwards, our canteen refuses to provide any food to the Heaven Class’s Lin Weiwei, so it’s best if Miss Lin Weiwei doesn’t step foot in the canteen in the future.”

“What?”
