Chapter 149 The Petty Official
The person behind Leng Yun had disheveled hair and red skin scorched by fire, making him look somewhat frightening. It was none other than the Fire Monk!
Among the crowd, some older people recognized who this Fire Monk was and showed expressions of surprise.
How is this going?
He actually made it out alive!
Leng Yun was not killed by Huo Toutuo; on the contrary, the two seemed to be good friends.
No! Not a friend, Fire Monk is like Cold Cloud's servant!
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Leng Yun and Huo Toutuo walked up to the vice dean.
"Fire-Headed Monk, it's been a long time." The vice-dean spoke first.
"Hehe, you old codger, I knew you were something special back then, and now you've finally become the vice dean." Fire Monk saw the insignia on the vice dean's chest.
The vice dean smiled and said, "Your temper hasn't changed over the years."
The two chatted like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, while everyone around them stared blankly, not daring to say a word.
Huo Toutuo turned to Leng Yun and said, "Young brother, this is my senior brother from back then, now the vice dean of the Fist God Academy, Bai Shu."
This was also the first time Leng Yun had met the vice dean. Since he was a fellow disciple of the vice dean, it seemed that Huo Toutuo's status and seniority were not insignificant.
Bai Shu looked at Leng Yun, examined him carefully, and his white mustache twitched: "You are Leng Yun?"
Leng Yun nodded; he found that the old man, Bai Shu, was quite amiable.
Bai Shu smiled and said, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. Even I couldn't subdue Huo Tou Tuo, but you, at such a young age, managed to remove the fire poison from his body."
The vice dean actually praised Leng Yun in front of so many people.
Only then did cheers erupt from the surrounding crowd. Some were surprised, some were envious. In any case, Leng Yun's reputation carried even more weight in their hearts.
Meanwhile, Leng Yun's reputation value was soaring.
"Hmph, what's so great about him? He just happens to have a physical attribute advantage over others. He's still just a newbie at the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm!"
Seeing everyone starting to idolize Leng Yun, Ding Chang couldn't help but say something viciously.
“Senior Brother Ding is right, this Leng Yun is nothing special,” Da Long flattered.
Ding Chang snorted: "I'll deal with him sooner or later."
Leng Yun naturally ignored Ding Chang and the others' thoughts, and didn't even glance at them. Leng Yun won the bet, causing a sensation throughout the Fist God Academy. He had made such a contribution to the academy as soon as he arrived.
Now, no one can drive Leng Yun away anymore.
“Now that Fire Monk has regained his senses, we don’t need to keep him trapped in the cave any longer, right?” Leng Yun asked.
"No, that won't do! Fire Monk has killed so many people. Who knows if he'll relapse? He absolutely cannot leave his cave, lest he harm others!" Ding Chang suddenly shouted, his voice extremely shrill.
Vice Dean Bai Shu felt a sinking feeling in his heart; this was exactly what he was worried about.
"Yes, who can guarantee that Fire Monk is already cured?"
"Indeed, it is dangerous to let the Fire Monk out."
"Of course not. Do you know how cruel he was back then and how many people he killed?"
The crowd immediately erupted in discussion, with most expressing their opposition.
Leng Yun looked at Ding Chang with some anger, but there was nothing she could do.
The noise gradually subsided after a long time, and everyone looked at the vice dean, waiting for him to make a decision.
In fact, ever since Leng Yun entered the cave, Elder Liu and others have been worried about this very issue:
If the Fire Monk regains his senses, should we release him?
It seems unreasonable not to release him, but if we do release him, what if, as mentioned before, the Fire Monk goes mad again?
"Please rest assured, Vice Dean, I, Leng Yun, have the ability to guarantee that Fire Monk will not harm anyone again," Leng Yun suddenly said.
"Hmph! What guarantee do you have? You're just a mere Spirit Martial Realm Level 1 cultivator. You only survived in the White Fire Cave because of your special physique. Do you really think you're so great?" Ding Chang continued relentlessly.
He didn't see Leng Yun's battle with Huo Toutuo in the cave, so he naturally assumed that Leng Yun was only able to escape Huo Toutuo's assassins because of his physical condition.
Many people shared similar thoughts with Ding Chang. Although they were surprised that Leng Yun was able to come out of the White Fire Cave alive, they believed that it was due to Leng Yun's physique, not his extraordinary strength.
"Hmph, now that you've come out with Fire Monk, who knows if you're just putting on an act and trying to harm our outer academy students?" Ding Chang actually turned the tables.
These words immediately caused another stir.
"You damned brat, what did you say!" Fire Monk was already short-tempered, and hearing Ding Chang's words only made him angrier, and white flames rose from his hands.
The temperature on the field immediately rose significantly, and the white strange fire was no ordinary object; its mere appearance was enough to make everyone tense.
"stop!"
Vice Dean Bai Shu suddenly stretched out a hand, and a green fist aura appeared. The old hand rested on Huo Toutuo's shoulder, which turned out to be the 300th move of the Thousand Style Fist Technique, 'Self-Sealing'.
The white flames of the Fire Monk were immediately suppressed, but due to the special nature of the flames, they did not completely disappear from the Fire Monk's hands.
Seeing this, Ding Chang became even more unscrupulous, saying with a hint of schadenfreude, "Everyone saw it, Fire Monk even tried to kill me in front of the vice dean. Who knows what he'll do next!"
The crowd immediately began to discuss the matter, and gradually a trend of resistance against the Fire Monk emerged.
Public anger is hard to defy, and now even the vice president is in a difficult position.
Leng Yun stared at Ding Chang with disgust. This despicable man deliberately angered Huo Toutuo so that everyone would have a bad impression of him.
Ding Chang pretended to be a victim, only secretly flashing a sinister smile at Leng Yun when no one was looking.
Leng Yun wished she could rush up and tear Ding Chang's hypocritical face apart.
"Should we kill him?" Murong Qin walked up to Leng Yun and asked coldly.
Before Leng Yun could answer, the Fire Monk sighed and withdrew the flames from his hand: "Well, since that's the case, let's not make things difficult for the Vice Dean. I'll just go back to the White Fire Cave."
After thinking for a moment, Vice Dean Bai Shu slowly said, "How about this, Huo Toutuo can be observed in Bai Huo Cave for another year. If there are no problems, he can leave Bai Huo Cave and live a normal life."
“But—” Ding Chang persisted.
"That's the decision," Bai Shu said decisively.
His tone was somewhat forceful, and no one dared to object anymore.
Leng Yun nodded. He knew this was the best possible outcome; it was only a year. The vice dean had done more than enough.
However, the despicable Ding Chang still succeeded in his evil scheme. He had no grudge against Huo Toutuo, but Huo Toutuo was very familiar with Leng Yun, so he kept causing trouble.
Thinking of this, Leng Yun turned her head and glanced at Ding Chang, who was also looking at Leng Yun with a vicious look.
