Chapter 425: Challenging The Headmaster Of The Flying Frost Pavilion
Upon hearing Feng Tianlan’s speech, Qi Hongan’s face darkened completely. Biased, abusing his authority for personal grudges… If these accusations were to spread, it would not be good for his reputation. Besides, if word spread that Feng Tianlan beat up more than of his people single-handedly—let’s not talk about if people will believe it—if they did, he feared that the Flying Frost Pavilion would become a laughingstock.
Whether people believed these tales or not, they would surely stand up for Feng Tianlan. This would not be beneficial to him or the Flying Frost Pavilion.
But if he were to take back what he said, he would still be embarrassed. His authority as the headmaster would be questioned, nonetheless. Being accused of abusing his authority for personal grudges, Qi Hongan had no way out of this situation. He stared coldly at Feng Tianlan, full of hatred.
Gu Nansheng recognized the impasse that caused both parties to be unable to compromise and jumped up onto the stage lightly. “Master, I am also her witness. All those incidents were indeed started by the others. Master must have heard only one side of the story.”
With Gu Nansheng’s words, although he was reluctant, he had a way to get out of this situation. Qi Hongan gestured at her and spoke up with a deep voice, “Since Sheng’er is a witness as well, I will rescind Feng Tianlan’s punishment. My fellow juniors, who wants to take her in as their disciple?”
“Headmaster has maligned me and yet dismissed the matter just like that. Are you not going to give me an apology?” Feng Tianlan had no plans to let things slide so easily. Facing the kind of person who cared about his reputation more than anything, she could easily make him admit defeat without any violence.
Qi Hongan shouted at her, “Don’t push your luck!”
Ever since he became the headmaster, he had never apologized to anyone. Feng Tianlan must be so ignorant of her position to actually want him to apologize to her!
Damn it!
“What’s wrong? Does the headmaster of the Flying Frost Pavilion have no dignity?” Feng Tianlan laughed mockingly and began to emit a strong royal aura. “Although I am new to the Flying Frost Pavilion, don’t forget that I am still the head of the South Winds Nation’s Feng Family. Do you think I am someone you can slander and inflict senseless punishment on, and get away with it?”
The crowd who had been watching this passively turned to Feng Tianlan in surprise. How could she be so domineering and bold as to challenge the headmaster?
Qi Hongan’s face blackened even more. He forgot about Feng Tianlan’s position as the head of the Feng Family—which was equivalent to the emperor of the South Winds Nation!
Although the Flying Frost Pavilion was a strong force not under the jurisdiction of the South Winds Nation or the Beiqi Nation, that was only because the disciples of Flying Frost Pavilion came from all over the world, coincidentally gaining the respect of both these countries.
However, if he agitated South Winds Nation—which was a strong independent nation—and if the Demon Palace of the South Winds Nation were to feel insulted, it would disrupt the balance of power and be disadvantageous to the Flying Frost Pavilion. This was also why Gu Nansheng could be so domineering within the Flying Frost Pavilion.
But as he thought about it, the headmaster of the Flying Frost Pavilion apologizing to a new, and as yet, an unofficial disciple was like slapping himself in the face. He would be burned nonetheless and become the laughingstock of the whole continent.
So, he didn’t know whether to apologize or not. He had fallen into the pit dug by Feng Tianlan. No matter what he did, he would lose. That’s why his face turned black with displeasure until it looked like his face was stained by sh*t.
Feng Tianlan was leisurely bidding her time. She stood calmly and appeared to have an imposing manner of looking down at the world, which made others look up to her in admiration.
Luo Yunzhu, who stood by the side, broke into a cold sweat out of anxiety for her. Feng Tianlan was being really stubborn. She actually dared to challenge the headmaster!
Gu Nansheng couldn’t help but glance sideways to observe Feng Tianlan’s expression. Seeing the firm belief in the tilt of her forehead, she could not help but raise her eyebrows in surprise. Click. Suddenly, she believed that Feng Tianlan could have beaten up Zhao Haojiang after all!
“This matter is indeed our fault.” Gu Nansheng couldn’t bear the tense atmosphere anymore and tried to mediate the situation. “Why not, Master, take Miss Feng as your direct disciple as a form of compensation?” This was the best way.
