Martial Cultivator

When the students by the lake heard those voices, their hearts surged endlessly. There were some of them who came from those major families. At this moment, hearing that their own families actually sent people to invite Chen Chao, they felt incredibly shocked. Turns out that this young warden was actually such a piece of sweet pastry. Other than the academy, even the notable parties in the Divine Capital regarded him highly.

Of course, they naturally did not know that the dean was currently at the heart of the lake. They also did not know that the dean had also said that he wanted to take that youth in as his last disciple. Outsiders did not know that there was much regret and disappointment in those words.

The students by the lake just remembered the conversation about what was important and what was not. When they looked at Huang Zhi, there was a lot more sympathy in their eyes.

Previously, Huang Zhi used the academy to oppress Chen Chao and Chen Chao did not refute it. Everyone felt that he was unable to refute it because the academy was extremely important in the first place. But looking at it now, even if Huang Zhi was from the academy, he could not match up to this youth who had never studied in the academy before.

Currently, the representatives of many important figures were gathered by the lake.

It was not that those important people were more impressive than the dean. It was just that they thought highly of Chen Chao while the dean might not necessarily know Huang Zhi\'s name.

This was really a great slap. Furthermore, it was not postponed at all, but swung right in front of everyone heavily.

Huang Zhi\'s face was burning with pain at this moment. Although Chen Chao did not really slap him, this situation was more infuriating than that.

He thought that he could squeeze Chen Chao because he was an academy student and he was also about to enter Tutor Ceng\'s tutelage right away. But, without waiting for Chen Chao himself to say anything, there were already people who came to tell Huang Zhi the answer on Chen Chao\'s behalf now.

Huang Zhi\'s expression was very ugly at present. He really wanted to leave this hotbed, but his feet were like lead. He was actually unable to lift them no matter how he exerted strength. He did not need to look at the lake and already knew that there were currently countless gazes that landed on him. He likewise knew about the emotions contained in those gazes.

The lake was very quiet at this moment. But, countless mocking laughter seemed to sound out in his ears.

Huang Zhi raised his head and looked at Chen Chao, his expression suddenly turning deathly pale. Then, he toppled backward while upright and actually directly passed out.

Tutor Ceng was next to him, it was naturally impossible for him to let Huang Zhi fall. Reaching his hand out, he supported him and prevented him from falling down, which seriously looked rather strange.

While Chen Chao took a few steps backward with great exaggeration and said rather worriedly, "You all have to testify, this had nothing to do with me!"

Seeing this scene, the young girl who had been standing at the courtyard entrance all this while smiled. She subconsciously reached her hand out, only to remember that those snacks were in the courtyard, and felt a little sulky.

Hearing this, the students by the lake were rather speechless. Although you indeed did not touch a hair on Huang Zhi after knocking him into the South Lake, at this moment, no matter how far away you were, could it be that his passing out could be because of anyone other than you?

Chen Chao had been paying attention to Huang Zhi all along. He noticed that the corners of his mouth still had some imperceptible tugging when he was talking. He thought to himself that although this guy was a hypocrite, he was not stupid. However, he did not expose him either and just took it as letting him off and saving some face for the academy.

Tutor Ceng snorted lightly and took his hand back at the same time as he said rather unhappily, "Why are there so many outsiders in the academy today?"

Huang Zhi was caught by someone. It was the perfect chance for Guo Fengjie to carry Huang Zhi away so as to avoid awkwardness. When the other students heard this, they did not know how to answer either. The academy did not have a rule that forbade outsiders from entering the academy. Even if Tutor Ceng was a commandment tutor, he was unable to say anything at this moment too. Moreover, these people at the lake now might remain humble in front of the dean, but why would they care about a measly little commandment tutor like Tutor Ceng?

Commander Song of the Divine Capital\'s Left Guard took a step out of the crowd and was the first to arrive in front of Song Lian. Landing a punch on Chen Chao\'s chest, he said with a loud laugh, "Kid, your life is indeed tenacious, even the Court of Judicial Review can\'t lock you up!"

The Court of Judicial Review closed the case yesterday. The important people already knew about this matter by the time night fell. Then, many people already began making preparations and started investigating Chen Chao. By morning, most of them actually had their conclusion already. Now, gathering at the lake was also within reason.

The students of the academy might not understand what was special about the warden of a small area. But, as long as the big shots saw the scene of Chen Chao cutting down four qi refiners, it would be very hard to not have any thoughts about Chen Chao.

Being knocked back several steps by Song Lian\'s punch, since he had the physique of a Divine Trove martial artist, there was naturally no such thing as getting injured. Although Chen Chao was young, he also understood why he was acting like this at this moment. But, there were too many people at the lake at this time, Chen Chao could only say helplessly, "I still have to thank Commander Song for your kindness of delivering the letter."

Song Lian laughed heartily, "That\'s nothing! It\'s just that I never expected that the girl who likes you was actually the dean\'s last disciple, that genius girl from the Xie Family!"

Song Lian was a martial artist in the first place. Furthermore, he was also a martial artist whose cultivation realm was not low. Hence, his voice had always been full of vigor. Plus, no one was talking at this moment. Hence, this sentence was transmitted clearly into the ears of everyone present.

Crystal clear, no matter how hard of hearing one was, they could hear it clearly at this moment.

Everyone became shocked again. Although they saw Chen Chao walk out of that courtyard previously, he said that he was just Xie Nandu\'s friend afterward too. But, who could have thought that the moment Song Lian opened his mouth now, he told the world the truth.

This was a bolt of lightning on a spring day. The degree of shock was no less than before.

If Huang Zhi was still here, he would probably really be angered until he fainted.

Chen Chao had long felt that something was off when Song Lian spoke. Just when he wanted to salvage the situation, how could he have imagined that Commander Song already finished saying it.

Although Chen Chao already had a brief conversation with Xie Nandu about this last night, it was still more or less not too good to have it go public at this moment and let everyone hear it.

After all, it was not true. The cause was merely because Chen Chao wanted to borrow the Xie Family\'s power and influence, while Xie Nandu knew and did not care about this too.

But now, things had blown up. These students by the lake learning about this meant that the academy would know. If the academy knew, it would mean that the Divine Capital would know.

This matter did not pose much of an issue to him. But, it was not necessarily the case for Xie Nandu.

The students by the lake looked at that young man. There were already many people who started thinking about many things.

He made the Divine Capital learn his name before coming to the Divine Capital. When he arrived in the Divine Capital, he retreated unscathed from the Three Judicial Chief Ministries\' trial and walked out of the Court of Judicial Review. Now, at the lake, the many important parties in the Divine Capital all extended an olive branch to him. There was also the dean\'s last disciple, the Xie Family\'s girl, who had feelings for him...

Any one of these things was already sufficient to set off a storm if it happened to someone. But, these things actually all happened to a youth.

Who could have thought of this?

Even if they thought of it, who would dare believe it?

Countless gazes gathered on Xie Nandu at this moment. It was not just those students by the lake, there was even that Tutor Ceng and those figures on the horse carriages.

But, she did not care at all, her expression indifferent.

Liu Ye looked at her missus and thought to herself that Miss was indeed impressive. Her face actually did not turn red yet at this point.

Chen Chao felt his scalp tingle and he said, "Commander Song\'s memory is really good."

This sentence was practically said through gritted teeth.

If he could not beat this fellow in front of him, Song Lian would probably have already been tossed into the lake water by him at this moment.

It was not known if Song Lian was too happy and forgot himself in his joy, or was he a reckless person. He actually did not see through Chen Chao\'s anomaly and patted his shoulder as he said, "Come with me, Lord Warden is waiting for you."

Song Lian said these words very naturally. It seemed like he did not need to care about those people who appeared by the lake at this moment and could bring Chen Chao away just based on his friendship with Chen Chao.

Chen Chao laughed bitterly and was just about to speak when another voice sounded out by the lake, "Wait a minute."
