Chapter 94 Departure, Destination: Heaven Dou Royal Academy (3)
Director Han stood in front of Qian Yuhan, shielding him behind him. Captain Li of the guard team was a Soul Emperor with the strength of a sixth-ring cultivator, habitually abusing his power and bullying others. He naturally recognized Cain; who didn't know he was the beloved son of Gai Yutong, the deputy city lord of Yelin City? He was merely making a living with this job; how could he dare offend such a powerful figure? Therefore, he unhesitatingly chose to curry favor with Cain.
Captain Li, head held high, surveyed the crowd with utter contempt and disdain, and shouted:
"You dare to openly disrupt public order here and damage other people's soul-guided airships. Now that the evidence is conclusive, you'd better come with us!"
After saying this, he adopted an arrogant attitude, as if everyone present was an ant at his mercy.
However, Captain Li's gaze bypassed Director Han and fixed intently on Qian Yuhan, who was standing behind her with only half her body visible. Seeing that Qian Yuhan showed no reaction and remained firmly rooted to the spot, Captain Li frowned slightly, his tone becoming somewhat impatient:
"You brat, don't push your luck! I'll count to three. If you still don't know what's good for you and don't come with us, don't blame me for being impolite and taking force! One...two..."
Qian Yuhan remained unmoved, which infuriated Captain Li: Did he think he could just ignore me?!
"You woman, get out of my way right now, or I'll arrest you and all of you!"
Captain Li could no longer hide his emotions. He glared fiercely at Han Xue and Qian Yuhan with wide eyes. At this moment, the surrounding crowd began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
"Look at this captain of the guard! What's going on here? Such blatant favoritism is simply outrageous!" someone said indignantly.
“That’s right, where did this solid evidence come from? It’s just pure nonsense and rubbish…” another person chimed in.
"To actually be willing to act as Cain's lackey, such fawning and flattery, it's truly shameful, tsk tsk tsk..." Some even mocked mercilessly.
These harsh words flooded Captain Li's ears like a tidal wave, making him furious, his face turning red and veins bulging on his forehead. He roared in uncontrollable rage:
"All of you shut up! I'm performing my duties according to the law, how dare you all criticize me? Anyone who dares to speak recklessly again will be treated as an accomplice. Let's see who dares to object!"
With Captain Li's stern reprimand, the previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent. However, at that moment, Director Han, standing in front of Qian Yuhan, smiled slightly, and then a powerful soul force suddenly erupted from her body.
In an instant, eight dazzling spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—surrounded her body and slowly rose into the air. Without a doubt, this was a super-strong Soul Douluo-level expert with the optimal spirit ring configuration!
To become a grade head at the Spirit Hall Academy, one must first be a Soul Douluo and also make significant contributions to the academy to be promoted. Han Xue was a genius who graduated from the Spirit Hall Academy and was retained by the then-dean immediately after graduation, teaching there for nearly 10 years. Becoming a Soul Douluo at the age of thirty-something is certainly enough to be considered genius.
Captain Li, seeing that the woman in front of him was actually a Soul Douluo level expert, stammered, "A...a Soul Douluo level expert. You...no, you're actually a Soul Douluo level expert, I...I..."
"I'm Contra, so what?"
"Pfft—" Mu Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing, but thankfully he covered his mouth with his hand in time.
"This spaceship is ours. Do you have anything to say about it? Bullying others with your power is quite arrogant. What, even your city lord has to give way to our Spirit Hall Academy student group? Well, very well indeed! I will tell you the truth—"
Han Xue looked at Captain Li coldly as she spoke. Her words were devoid of emotion, like dry ice, sending chills down one's spine. Before Han Xue could finish, Captain Li raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "It was my fault for being blind and failing to recognize that you were an exchange team sent by the Spirit Hall Academy. I apologize." He then bowed deeply at a perfect ninety-degree angle, his attitude towards everyone completely changing.
"So this spaceship was damaged by that rich young master next to you. What do you suggest we do about it?" Han Xue turned to the side, allowing Captain Li to see the crater on the airship again.
"I...I..." Captain Li was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Ask Young Master Cain to pay? How could he possibly survive? His child needed to go to school, and he was hoping Young Master Cain could put in a good word for him and get the city lord to get the child into the intermediate soul master academy. His family depended on his secure job, and he absolutely couldn't afford to lose it!
Captain Li gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said, "I'll pay for it. See what you need..."
"Five hundred thousand gold soul coins."
Okay, I didn't ask.
"How much?! Five hundred thousand gold soul coins?!"
"Not a penny less! I happen to be going to City Lord Baili's place tonight to take care of some business. Shall we meet at the City Lord's Mansion?"
"I...I...Sir, I...I come from an ordinary family. Even if we sold everything we own, we wouldn't be worth this much. Could you please be lenient, be more lenient?"
"Not a penny less, and immediately. My children are still hungry and haven't eaten yet, don't waste our time."
"Young Master Cain, look..." Captain Li's face was filled with despair, and his voice trembled slightly. He was filled with helplessness and despair, and now he had no other choice but to place all his last hope on the young master Cain in front of him.
However, Cain merely snorted coldly, his face showing an indifferent and disdainful expression.
"Hmph! You said you wanted compensation yourself, what does that have to do with me? Besides, I'm in unbearable pain all over my body and need to go to the hospital for treatment right away. Let's part ways here."
Before he finished speaking, Cain, while pounding his lower back, turned and left without looking back.
Watching Cain's retreating figure, Captain Li's face turned ashen with rage, and he couldn't help but burst into a tirade: "I...I'll fuck your mother!!!"
Just then, Han Xue suddenly spoke up:
"Alright, Captain Li. You don't need to pay this money."
Upon hearing this, Captain Li's previously dull and lifeless eyes instantly lit up as if ignited. He was so excited he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Han Xue in gratitude, hurriedly shouting:
"My lord, my lord, you are like my second parents! From now on, I, Li Kui, will obey your every command and follow your lead!"
However, before Captain Li could be happy for long, Han Xue quickly added:
"However, I haven't finished speaking yet. Although you won't have to pay the money, someone like you, as a captain, who abuses your power to oppress the people, would have done even more outrageous things if it were an ordinary citizen instead of someone like us with special status. Heh, with your behavior, how can you maintain social order in Yelin City? You are truly guilty! So, either take off this armor right now and leave, never to hold this position again, or obediently go home and sell your house to raise money to compensate for the losses!"
After saying that, he didn't look at Captain Li's expression again.
Han Xue led Qian Yuhan and the others towards the Yelin City Lantern Festival. Fortunately, they weren't far from the festival venue, so she needed to quickly find a hotel nearby for the children to stay in and get some rest. As a Soul Douluo, she was naturally fine, but these children were at a crucial stage of growth and couldn't afford to go hungry…
After finding a hotel and settling the children in, Han Xue reminded Qian Yuhan and the others to be careful, then let them go off to play. She needed to go to the City Lord's Mansion to see Baili Qian…
