Novel Full Chapter 1346
Chapter 1346: Chapter 1348: Explosion!_1 Chapter 1346: Chapter 1348: Explosion!_1 The normal scenario should have been the vice principal announcing that Lin Fan had secured the first place, followed by the crowd cheering and celebrating, uttering congratulations of a match made in heaven, and everyone being delighted.
However, no one expected this sudden plot twist, where Hu Feng was declared as the first place holder instead.
Then, what rank did Lin Fan achieve?
With Hu Feng at the first position and Kong Qianqian at second, even if Lin Fan secured third, his ranking might seem a bit unimpressive when paired with Kong Qianqian.
And what if he didn’t even manage the third?
A moment of silence fell over the crowd before it erupted into a throbbing hum of conversations.
Some accused the vice principal of displaying terrible judgment with his poorly timed announcement.
…
Others opined that Lin Fan did not deserve Kong Qianqian and wondered what rank he might have achieved this time.
Some even loudly demanded, “Vice Principal, we are all curious about Lin Fan’s performance.
Why don’t you just announce it?
There shouldn’t be much difference between his rank and Miss Qianqian’s results, we believe.”
Lin Xia’s face turned pale with anger; he cursed the vice principal for his idiocy and implored him to announce the results quickly and proceed with the following ceremony.
The vice principal chuckled, “Alright, alright, I’ll announce it…”
“For this examination, the young prince entered the testing ground.
To ensure his safety, Miss Kong Qianqian drew a protective circle for him at the entrance which the prince lazily occupied for half a month, eating and drinking to his heart’s content…”
A huge murmuring arose from the spectators.
Almost everyone, sensing the impending calamity, wondered if the vice principal was actually there to wreck the event.
Despite his looming bad premonition, Lin Xia clung on to a thread of hope.
He hoped that the vice principal would say something redeeming, reversing Lin Fan’s deteriorating image, especially given that he had been bribed.
“Half a month later, the young prince defected from the secure zone for some reason and hid somewhere unknown till the end of the competition.
Only at the last hour did he surface, and surprisingly, in the company of Miss Zi Ying.
In my personal opinion, since the prince is engaged to Miss Kong Qianqian, he should have refrained from such questionable conduct.
After all, Miss Kong is not yet married to him.
Isn’t this disrespect on his part?”
While many were unfamiliar with who Zi Ying was, the image of Lin Fan as a dishonorable character vividly emerged after the vice principal’s revelations.
He was asking for a hand in marriage while also flirting with others – such deplorable behavior at such a tender age was truly appalling.
One should never judge a book by its cover lest they discover the rotten core hiding beneath a shiny exterior.
“What was his final score,” called out a furious voice from the crowd.
“His score…hmm!
Young prince Lin, probably thinking we all are fools, presented the remains of beasts at the Star Realm level, claiming to have slayed them.
But let me remind you, the most formidable beasts we released in the arena were barely at War God level.
I want to ask the young prince, where did your Star Realm beast remains come from?”
With his last statement, the vice principal’s voice grew unbearably stern – aimed directly at Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen merely smiled, giving no response.
However, to the crowd, this was undoubtedly an exhibition of a guilty conscience.
A deafening wave of jeers and hisses erupted, with habitual chants of indignation painting Lin Fan as a despicable disgrace.
He was being accused of being ignorant and deceitful and was deemed unfit for Kong Qianqian, graduation, or even for succeeding the throne.
Frustrated, Lin Xia roared at the vice principal, “What nonsense are you spouting!
Don’t forget…”
“Yes!
I did not forget!”
The vice principal cut him off with a raised hand and from it, pulled out a bag that he threw onto the stage.
Chiming crystal coins spilled from the bag onto the stage.
As the highest denomination of currency on Wanghai Star, each crystal coin was worth a million, making the whole bag worth a hundred million.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the money that the prince slipped me yesterday, hoping that I might declare his son’s graduation today.
A whole hundred million!
Quite a generous bribe indeed!
However, prince, I must tell you that you approached the wrong person.
I’m not the types to be swayed by money or betray my conscience.
Take your dirty money back!
Your son is a good-for-nothing and he absolutely does not deserve to graduate from our Dicui Peak Academy!
His score is zero!”
Finishing his piece, the vice principal kicked the bag of crystal coins off the stage.
As Lin Xia was about to rush him, he activated the Dimensional Universe and projected yesterday’s recording of their secret meeting where Lin Xia had offered him the bribe via the Water Mirror.
He had prepared for this moment early on.
It was time to make his announcement.
Now, the evidence is irrefutable, beyond a shadow of doubt!
The color drained from Lin Xia’s face.
He didn’t understand how things could have turned so suddenly.
Below the stage, the crowd rose in fury, waves of shouts echoed under the guidance of the instigators.
“Down with Lin Xia!
What the hell is this Parallel King nonsense!”
“He’s not from the Lin family no matter what.
He uses the Lin surname but he doesn’t even know who he really is.
You are unfit to bear this surname!”
“And we should investigate who this Zi Ying is – no sooner does someone want to arrange a marriage proposal than she couldn’t wait to play homewrecker.
This type of woman should be thrown in a pig cage!”
“Thank god there’s no arranged engagement yet, else Miss Kong would have been terribly unlucky.
What trash!”
The vice director came to the side of Kong Qianqian, passionately saying: “Qianqian, I’ve watched you grow up.
I couldn’t bear to see you jump into this fire pit, hence I revealed all this.
Whether you wish to continue your engagement with Lin Fan is up to you.”
After standing for quite a while, Kong Qianqian finally spoke.
She glanced at Lin Fan with a complex look in her eyes, then said: “Lin Fan, I thought you were a fine man, one worth trusting for a lifetime, but I was wrong about you…..”
“I’m truly sorry for your feelings, but even if it means a lifetime of loneliness, I cannot sink to your level.
I apologise, Lin Fan, perhaps we were just not meant to be.”
With that, Kong Qianqian walked down the stage, wiping her tears, looking heartbroken and delicate, causing many hearts to break for her.
Just at that moment, Hu Feng suddenly stood up and stopped Kong Qianqian.
“Qianqian, that scumbag does not deserve your happiness.
I genuinely care for you and if you don’t mind, I would like to marry you and treat you well for the rest of our lives.”
Many people around them immediately began to cheer, saying they are the perfect match, made for each other.
Kong Fang and Hu Zheng stood there smiling, watching this unfold completely in a loving manner.
Kong Qianqian hesitated for a while, blushing, letting Hu Feng hold her hand.
She tried pulling her hand away a few times but then stopped resisting.
Lin Xia, immediately angry, stormed over: “What are you lot trying to do?!
Don’t you know this is the Parallel King Mansion!
Get out of here!”
At that moment, Grand Marshal Hu Zheng suddenly shouted: “By order of His Majesty, the Parallel King’s schooling is misguided, concealing from superiors, and resorting to bribery, cheating the examiner, truly a disgrace to the reputation of the Lin family.
From today onwards, your Parallel King title is revoked, your Lin surname stripped.
Your entire family is detained in the Heavenly Prison for further investigation.”
“Nonsense!
You are falsifying imperial orders!
I do not believe you!” Lin Xia roared.
“The Emperor has arrived!”
With a high-pitched shout, Emperor Lin Zhigao made his appearance.
As the Imperial Forest Army filed in, Emperor Lin Zhigao, seated on his Dragon Car, arrived, causing everyone to kneel in reverence.
From his high position, Lin Zhigao declared, “I know all, Lin Xia, you have greatly disappointed me.
I’m not going to waste time on you.
Where is Hu Zheng?”
“Present!” Hu Zheng dressed in full military uniform stepped forward.
