Zhao Hai, Dong Chuan, and the others slowly walked towards the academy. At this time, the sky was already dark. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't be able to enter the city at this time. However, Dong Chuan and the others were students of the academy, so they had special privileges. Therefore, they were able to enter the city and return to the academy smoothly.
Among the group was An Dao. An Dao was also a student of the academy. He also wanted to return to the academy to rest so that he could prepare for class tomorrow. Therefore, the group returned together.
Dong Chuan drank a bit of wine, so his mind wasn't very clear. Now that the wind blew, he felt the effects of the alcohol. Dong Chuan couldn't help but speak to Zhao Hai, "Brother Hai, I'm sorry. If I didn't ask you to come with me, then we wouldn't have encountered such a situation. I'm really sorry."
Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare when he heard Dong Chuan's words. Then he looked at Dong Chuan and knew that Dong Chuan was drunk. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Alright, don't take it to heart. What will come will come."
An Dao has been quietly listening to the conversation. Now that he heard Dong Chuan, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister Zhao Hai, is there any trouble? If there is any trouble, please tell us. For someone of your status, the academy will provide protection. Of course, you don't need this kind of protection, but it can help you solve a lot of problems. "
Without waiting for Zhao Hai to speak, Dong Chuan, who had drunk a lot, told him everything that happened. It must be said that he drank a lot, but his memory was really good. He told the whole story to An Dao, even Zhao Hai's words. This made Zhao Hai suspect that Dong Chuan was pretending to be drunk.
After hearing Dong Chuan's words, An Dao couldn't help but frown. Dong Chuan was still an Intermediate Student, so he didn't know about the academy's matters. On the other hand, An Dao was already an Advanced Student, so he knew some of the academy's secrets. Now that he heard Dong Chuan's words, An Dao immediately thought that the Chess Courtyard was behind this matter.
After hearing Zhao Hai's words, An Dao's expression couldn't help but shake. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the tall and gentle Plant Master. This was because Zhao Hai's words had hit the nail on the head. At the same time, he also expressed his attitude. Finally, he proposed his own conditions. Now, it was time to see the other party's reaction.
An Dao could also understand Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai wasn't in the Wen Ji Continent, if he wasn't an outsider, then Mai Fei wouldn't have been able to walk out of the restaurant alive. Zhao Hai would've immediately asked for his orders.
But even so, Zhao Hai didn't intend to let Mai Fei go. He put forward his conditions. If the Chess Hall really wanted to have a falling out with him, then they would naturally send someone to test him. If the Chess Hall didn't want to have a falling out with him, then Mai Fei's punishment wouldn't be light.
Even now, An Dao didn't think that Zhao Hai would really kill Mai Fei. In An Dao's opinion, if Zhao Hai really killed Mai Fei, then it would be very unwise. After all, it was equivalent to offending the Chess Courtyard.
Zhao Hai didn't stop Dong Chuan from telling An Dao about this matter. He believed that even if Dong Chuan didn't tell An Dao, he would've told others about this matter. Sooner or later, the Academy would know about it. This couldn't be considered a secret. After all, there were too many people who knew about it.
After Dong Chuan finished talking about this matter, he was really drunk to a certain degree and began to talk nonsense. But it was obvious that Dong Chuan was very self-reproachful and also very dissatisfied. He blamed himself for bringing Zhao Hai out and encountering such a thing. He really let Zhao Hai down. But the dissatisfaction was directed at Mai Fei.
Dong Chuan and Mai Fei had known each other for a long time. He had always regarded Mai Fei as his friend, but he didn't expect that Mai Fei would do such a thing today. This made him very dissatisfied.
After everyone returned to the Academy, they all went back to rest. Although An Dao was an Advanced Student, he didn't live in the Pillow Literature Hall. Therefore, he had to return to his own place. Dong Chuan was also supported by Liu Ren and the others. Zhao Hai went back to his room. Nothing unexpected happened. The Academy didn't seem to punish students for returning late.
After a night of silence, Zhao Hai woke up early the next morning and went to the dining hall to eat. He saw Dong Chuan and the others in the dining hall. Dong Chuan and the others were a lot better now. It can be seen that last night's drunkenness didn't affect them too much. When they saw Zhao Hai, Dong Chuan and the others immediately called Zhao Hai over.
When Zhao Hai sat down, Dong Chuan embarrassedly said, "Big Brother Hai, I'm sorry. Yesterday, I seemed to have told Senior An about Mai Fei. I'm sorry."
Zhao Hai looked at Dong Chuan's appearance and smiled, "What's there to be sorry about, it's not a secret. It's fine."
Dong Chuan anxiously said, "Big Brother Hai, you don't know. Although the Eight Great Academies appear to be calm on the surface, they are actually secretly competing with each other. If this matter isn't known to the Academy, then it would be easy to handle. But if the Academy knows about it, then I'm afraid that the Academy will come looking for you. When that time comes, things might become troublesome."
Just as his voice fell, a voice was heard, "Mister Zhao Hai, please come to the Research Hall. The Academy has something to ask you."
Zhao Hai looked towards the source of the voice. The one who spoke was a student of the Academy. He wasn't very old, and his clothes weren't very good. It was obvious that he was a student working in the Research Hall.
Although there were a lot of teachers working in the Research Hall, there were still a lot of students working there. Most of their work was to run errands and deliver letters.
When Zhao Hai heard the student, he immediately stood up and said, "Alright, I'll be right there. Please wait for a moment." Then he turned to Dong Chuan and said, "I'll go take a look. You guys eat, don't wait for me." Then he turned around and left.
Dong Chuan looked at Zhao Hai's back and smiled bitterly. Then he turned to the others and said, "It seems like I said a lot of wrong things yesterday. I don't know if Big Brother Hai will be angry with me." Liu Ren and the others also smiled bitterly, they didn't know what to say.
Before long, Zhao Hai arrived at the Research Hall. He went straight to the Research Hall's lobby. The lobby was still the same, but the teacher that Zhao Hai met before was still here. When the teacher saw Zhao Hai, he immediately stood up and said to Zhao Hai, "Mister Zhao Hai has arrived. Please take a seat here." Zhao Hai wasn't polite as he walked over and sat down.
The teacher looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I heard that Mister had a conflict with Qiyi Courtyard's Mai Fei in the restaurant yesterday. Is this true? Sir, can you tell me in detail what's going on? "
Zhao Hai didn't hide anything. He told the teacher what happened, just like what Dong Chuan said.
The teacher waited for Zhao Hai to finish, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "How does Mister intend to deal with this matter?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I've already made it clear how I want to deal with this matter. If Qiyi Courtyard or Mai Fei provokes me, then I will certainly destroy Mai Fei's entire family. If they don't want to test me, then they can just send me Mai Fei's head."
When the teacher heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but knit his brows and said, "Mister, are you serious? Perhaps you don't know about Mai Fei's family. Mai Fei's family is one of the biggest businesses in Tideview City. Their family's strength is very formidable. Additionally, Mai Fei has the Qiyi Courtyard behind him. If Mister really kills Mai Fei, then it would be very troublesome. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Troublesome? I'm not afraid of trouble. How can the dignity of a Sky Dance Expert be challenged by anyone? If I don't respond to this matter, then what would the other Sky Dance Experts think of me? Don't forget, I'm now representing the Weapon Spirit Continent. If I don't respond, then what would the people of the Wen Ji Continent think of us? Do they think that the people of the Weapon Spirit Continent are all soft eggs? Do they think that anyone from the Wen Ji Continent can challenge the dignity of the Weapon Spirit Continent's Sky Dancing Experts? If that's the case, then there's no need for me to live. "
When the teacher heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. What he was most worried about had happened. Zhao Hai didn't want to let this matter go. Moreover, this matter had already reached the level of dignity. The teacher couldn't say anything because no matter the continent, the dignity of an expert couldn't be challenged.
Zhao Hai looked at the teacher's expression and knew what he was thinking. Zhao Hai looked at the teacher and said, "I know that if this matter really blows up, then the impact would be great. The Chess Hall is also one of the Eight Great Academies. But it's precisely because they are one of the Eight Great Academies that I can't back down. Otherwise, the people of the Weapon Spirit Continent would be challenged at will. When that time comes, would the people of the Wen Ji Continent still treat us as guests?"
The teacher understood what Zhao Hai meant. The Wen Ji Continent was very polite to the people of the Weapon Spirit Continent and gave them preferential treatment. It wasn't only because they were guests, but also because of their strength. If one day, the people of the Wen Ji Continent found out that the people of the Weapon Spirit Continent were weak, then they wouldn't give them any preferential treatment. They might not even look at them in the eye.
The teacher sighed and said, "Since Mister said so, then the Academy wouldn't intervene in your matter. However, Mister should be careful. The people of the Chess Hall are very arrogant. They won't easily bow their heads. As for Mai Fei, he's a disciple that they've focused on. Although he has graduated, he's still very important to the Chess Hall."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he immediately understood what the teacher meant. He nodded and said, "I understand. Mister can rest assured." After he said that, Zhao Hai turned around and left. He understood from the teacher's words that Mai Fei was a chess piece that the Chess Hall had placed in Tideview City. However, for various reasons, this chess piece couldn't be removed. It can be said that Mai Fei was a spy that the Chess Hall had placed in Tideview City. This spy would play a big role in the future. Because of this, the people of the Chess Hall wouldn't let him off easily. Because of this, the teacher reminded him. However, Zhao Hai didn't care. The Chess Hall didn't have anything to do with him.
