Chapter 2111: Nangong Chu and Yan Ke Arrive

Lu Xingzhe and the others came from outside, so it was inevitable that some short-sighted people would bully them. If everyone in the Nine Stars Academy knew that they were not to be messed with, naturally no one would still rush up to cause them trouble.

Hearing Helian Buji’s answer, Gu Zhiqi was satisfied.

Even so, she still reached out and patted Helian Buji’s shoulder, and said blandly, "If you handle this properly, this matter ends here. If you don’t... you know what will happen."

In the past, she’d have been willing to trust Helian Buji.

But this time, Helian Buji’s wife was also involved.

She wasn’t very familiar with that lady either, and was worried that Helian Buji—

But Helian Buji knew that Gu Zhiqi was warning him because of his negligence.

He hadn’t seen this ancestor in a long time, and had almost forgotten what her temper was like.

It was only because the two of them had some personal ties; otherwise, just based on the fact that a slot under his control had gone wrong, he wouldn’t need to sit in the dean’s seat anymore.

After hearing this, Helian Buji fell silent for a moment, then nodded, his expression serious as he said, "I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this and give you a satisfactory explanation."

As soon as Helian Buji spoke, everyone who heard the tone in his voice glanced at him.

This tone...

Why did it sound so much like reporting work to a superior?

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. "Yo! What are you all gathered here for?"

As soon as that voice sounded, the crowd automatically parted, opening up a path.

From within the crowd, three figures slowly walked over.

An old man with a white beard, an immortal-like man, and a girl of about eighteen.

The one who had just spoken was the white-bearded old man, Nangong Chu, dean of the Formation Academy.

"I heard someone was bullying people from our academy. Where are they?" Nangong Chu spoke as he walked toward Gu Zhiqi.

As soon as Nangong Chu finished, the immortal-like man’s steps faltered. He immediately spat a "ptui" and said, "What do you mean, people from your academy?"

"She’s from our academy, my student!"

With that, he beat Nangong Chu by a step and rushed to Gu Zhiqi’s side. "You haven’t gone back to class for more than ten days, and it turns out you came here to be bullied?"

After Yan Ke finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Zhiqi to open her mouth, he glanced at Helian Buji standing in front of her. "How do you manage your teachers? How did it get to the point that they’re bullying Qi Girl?"

After speaking, without giving Helian Buji a chance to respond, he immediately looked back at Gu Zhiqi again. "I told you other academies weren’t any good. Isn’t it better to stay in your own academy? Who would dare bully you, right?"

Gu Zhiqi: "Didn’t I tell you not to come?"

Yan Ke: "...I came all this way just to back you up, and in the end I’m the one being disliked, huh."

As Yan Ke spoke, he covered his chest with his hand, a look of heartache on his face.

Seeing this, Nangong Chu shoved him aside with one hand. "What are you doing in the Martial Arts Academy?"

"Don’t tell me you’re planning to come have classes here?"

"We haven’t finished studying that formation yet, you can’t be two-timing."

"This Martial Arts Academy is a mess. They even have teachers bullying you. Better not come here anymore. Look how nice the Formation Academy is; no one bullies you there."

Helian Buji: "..."

I’m still right here, you two. Bad-mouthing the Martial Arts Academy to my face, is that it?

When Nangong Chu and Yan Ke appeared, people in the crowd had already started whispering.

After clearly hearing what the two of them said, everyone was completely stunned.

This little girl’s background was no joke.

In one go, she had three academy deans standing up for her.

At this moment, many people silently memorized the faces of Gu Zhiqi and her group, categorizing them as people who absolutely must not be offended, with an extra emphasis added.
