He raised his wrist and saw that it was a spiritual crane message from the district's police chief.
"Chief Li!"
Zhao Shude was like a drowning man grabbing onto the last straw. He hurriedly said, "You came just in time. Right now, there are a large number of disabled soldiers gathered in front of Chixiao No. 2 High School. Quickly help me think of a way!"
On the hologram, Chief Li was wearing a pair of crystal sunglasses. He was as cold as steel. He said indifferently,
"Principal Zhao, I came specifically to inform you that the Disabled Servicemen Association will be holding a grand victory parade in front of your school in the next three days to commemorate the victory of the counterattack of Highland 9907 153 years ago. It was an extremely difficult counterattack. Two whole squads of Union Army soldiers fought bravely. In an entire afternoon, they repelled four attacks from seven demon beasts!"
"The police have already approved the application for the victory parade. Therefore, this is a legal parade and is protected by the law!"
"Of course, if the other party makes any noise, throws rubbish, smashes the flowers and plants, or even rushes into the school and causes any damage, your school can report to the police. We will deal with it seriously. We will not be biased just because the other party is a disabled soldier."
Zhao Shude was speechless. He glanced out the window again.
There was no noise, no trash, nothing. The thousands of disabled veterans stood outside the campus silently, like a frozen ocean.
Sometimes silence is also a kind of sound. A sound that is even more ear-piercing than noise.
Zhao Shude opened his mouth, but he was really speechless. Even if you want the police to intervene, you need a reason. Right now, they are not beating you or scolding you. They are just standing outside quietly and watching you. This is absolutely not against the law!
Zhao Shude was completely discouraged. He said dejectedly, "Chief Li, this matter is our Chixiao No. 2 High School's fault. Please show us the way!"
Chief Li sighed and said, "From the perspective of a friend, I will give you a suggestion. Who was the one who suggested that Li Yao be suspended from school in the first place? Let him stand up and explain clearly to the Disabled Servicemen Association. Everything will be fine!"
"Nothing will be fine!"
Zhao Shude said in his heart. If he really handed over Helian Lie and his son, so many disabled veterans would eat them alive without even dipping them in vinegar. There wouldn't even be a speck of them left.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. You're on your own now. It's time for me to get off work!"
Director Li slowly got up and unbuttoned his dark blue uniform. He then opened a suitcase that had been sealed for a long time.
"Chief Li, you …"
Zhao Shude was at a loss as he watched the other party change into a black military uniform.
Director Li took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of artificial eyes that were glittering in their sockets.
He said word by word, "I should have told you that I lost my pair of eyes in the Demon Beast Wasteland, right? I'm also a member of the Disabled Servicemen Association. Now that I'm off work, I'm going to attend the victory parade. Goodbye! "
"Pa!"
The screen of light was pitch-black, cut off by the other party.
Zhao Shude's facial muscles twitched crazily in the darkness. His lips trembled for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.
It was dead silent outside the window. The disabled veteran soldier seemed to have merged with the night and turned into a black beast that completely devoured Zhao Shude's soul.
"Beep Beep Beep!" The mini crystal processor vibrated again.
Zhao Shude was in a daze. He simply didn't want to pay attention to it, but the other party was very stubborn. The sound kept ringing without end.
Zhao Shude cursed. When he lowered his head to look, his entire body shivered.
He suddenly jumped up. First, he drove everyone out of the principal's office and locked the door. Only then did he respectfully accept the call. He nodded and bowed as he said, "Hello, Elder Zhou!"
Zhou Yin seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He gloomily stared at Zhao Shude for a while and slowly said,
"I'm not very well. In just a short hour, the Crimson Nimbus Sect's stock price has fallen by more than 4%. Moreover, it doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping. Do you know how much money this means has evaporated?"
Zhao Shude trembled like a sieve.
Zhou Yin's face was expressionless as he continued, "Also, yesterday, I recommended the wife of a Core Formation Stage loose cultivator to receive 200,000 shares of the Crimson Nimbus Sect's stock. This loose cultivator has a lot of influence in the northeast region. I've already communicated with him for more than two years. Originally, it was very likely that I could persuade him to invest in the Crimson Nimbus Sect on a large scale, or even become a guest elder of the Crimson Nimbus Sect and help the Crimson Nimbus Sect expand its influence in the northeast region. But now, he's telling me that he wants to reconsider the entire investment plan … Tell me, do you think my mood is good?"
Zhao Shude's face was deathly pale. He wished that he could just faint.
Anger rose from his heart. Hatred grew in his heart. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Elder Zhou, no matter how you look at it, it's all because of that little bastard Li Yao. He has brought so much trouble to the Crimson Nimbus Sect. We must get rid of him!"
"Okay, go ahead," Zhou Yin said coldly.
"Me? Elder Zhou, you know that I'm just a teacher. I'm not a battle-type cultivator … "Zhao Shude stared blankly as he stammered.
"Oh, so you're a teacher. Just now, when I heard your murderous words, I thought you were the boss of some underworld gang … Zhao Shude, do you even have a brain?!"
Zhou Yin's eyes widened as he bellowed, "Who do you think you are? Are you an ancient cultivator from forty thousand years ago?! Don't you know that the Federation upholds the law? Don't you know that a cultivator's crime is even more severe? Don't you know that right now, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at our Crimson Nimbus Sect? Don't you know that there are eight elders in the Crimson Nimbus Sect, and that the other seven elders are waiting to see me make a fool of myself? If something really happens to Li Yao, there's no need for the secret police. Even a pig would know that it was us who did it! Do you want to play me to death? Do you want to play the Crimson Nimbus Sect to death?! "
Zhao Shude was scared out of his wits by Zhou Yin's scolding. He didn't even dare to reply.
The more Zhou Yin spoke, the angrier he became. His finger was itching to come out of the hologram as he poked Zhao Shude's nose, "Use your brain. Our Crimson Nimbus Sect is a righteous sect that abides by the law. If something like this happens, there's still room for redemption. However, if we're really involved in a murder case, not to mention the murder of a member of the Disabled Servicemen Association, then we'll be consigned to eternal damnation! Murder, murder, murder! If you like to kill so much, why don't you join the Devil Path and become a Devil Cultivator? Let me tell you, if murder wasn't against the law, then the Sect Master would have already killed me with a single palm strike. And before he kills me, I'll cut you into eight pieces, you pig! "
"I, I —" Zhao Shude's face was sullen. He didn't know what to do.
Zhou Yin's gaze was like a tiger's as he fiercely glared at him.
His gaze seemed to be able to pierce through space as it directly dug two holes in Zhao Shude's chest.
After glaring at him for more than a minute, Zhou Yin gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now. In any case, someone has to take the blame for such a big mess. Tell me, who should be responsible for this? You, me, or Helian Ba? "
Zhao Shude was stunned for a moment before he quickly said,
"Elder Zhou, in fact, I don't know much about this matter. The entire matter was manipulated by Helian Ba behind my back. You also know that the Helian Family's power in Floating Spear City is not small. Although he is only a director, many people are willing to give him face. It's easy for him to bypass me and do some shady business. And Elder Zhou, you have to deal with a myriad of affairs every day. You're busy with work, so it's possible that you were hoodwinked by him for a while."
Zhou Yin's complexion finally looked better. He nodded and said, "En, that's more like it. Think about the specific details carefully. I still have to explain it to the Sect Master later. Think carefully! That's right — Old Ding of the Crimson Nimbus Sect's Seventh Primary School is going to retire next month. After he retires, you can take over and be the principal of the primary school! "
"Ah?"
"What? You don't want to? The kindergarten is also fine. The Ninth Kindergarten is still short of a deputy principal. You want to go?"
"No, no, no, the Seventh Primary School is still better!"
Zhao Shude was so scared that his face turned ashen. He stammered and looked at the hologram, only to find that Zhou Yin had already cut off the communication.
Zhao Shude was stunned for a moment. His expression changed. Suddenly, he fiercely stomped his foot, breaking seven or eight tiles.
"Helian Ba, Helian Lie — both of you, father and son, go to hell!"
...
More than half of Floating Spear City was shocked by the victory parade. Only Li Yao, who was in the eye of the storm, knew nothing about the origin of the whole matter.
In the open space outside the low-rent housing district, "Chaoyang New City", there were three layers of people around him. They were densely packed, forming a huge human vortex.
Not all of them were reporters and officials. There was also a large number of recruitment staff from the Nine Elites.
Floating Spear City was an important cultivation town for the Federation. Every year, during the college entrance examination, the Nine Elites would send a large number of recruitment staff to be stationed here.
However, in the past, the work of these people was relatively easy. This was because the good seedlings with potential were basically unearthed in the "Limit Challenge Competition". Many people had already signed contracts with the Nine Elites in advance. They only needed to execute the contract after the college entrance examination.
This year, however, a miracle happened for the first time. Li Yao, the dark horse that couldn't be any darker, had rushed out from the side and rushed to the throne of Floating Spear City's top scorer in the college entrance examination in one fell swoop. After these recruitment staff were surprised for a few minutes, they suddenly discovered that Li Yao hadn't signed a contract with any university.
Li Yao was still a free man. It was possible for him to choose any university!
This time, all the recruitment staff went crazy. While shouting at the top of their lungs to apply to their school headquarters, they staggered toward the Mining Clan High School. They surrounded Li Yao and refused to move a single step.
There was no other way. What was the most important thing in the cultivation world of 40000? Cultivation geniuses!
"Student Li Yao, please choose our Star Nebula University. I have just received approval from the school. All tuition and miscellaneous fees are waived!"
"Student Li Yao, our school is not only waiving tuition, we can also provide you with a high scholarship!"
"Student Li Yao, you should consider our Federation's First Military Academy. As long as you enter the school, you will have the status of an officer. After graduation, you can directly join the Union Army. Your military rank will be at least a major!"
Looking at the many recruitment staff who were like wolves and tigers, with fierce and ferocious appearances, Li Yao had goosebumps all over his body. He kept saying,
"I'm sorry, teachers. Everyone's conditions are very attractive, but I still have to think about it. Can you let me go back and think about it for a few days before making a decision?"
"Of course not!" Many recruitment staff shook their heads.
What kind of joke was this? They were all experienced veterans in the industry. They were all clear about each other's shady dealings.
If they let Li Yao go home now, someone would sneak in before midnight and make a private deal with Li Yao. Maybe someone would even use dirty tricks like the honey trap.
Li Yao was a hot-blooded young man. Maybe his brain would be filled with lust and he would agree in a moment of hot-bloodedness.
Since that was the case, they might as well lay out their conditions right here and openly compete for it.
Li Yao was dumbfounded. He kept scratching his head. He didn't know how to get rid of these people's entanglement.
At this moment, a travel-worn flying shuttle whistled over. Before the cabin door was opened, a powerful aura shook the whole audience.
An expert had come!
The cabin door opened, and a purple-clothed old man slowly flew out. He had an ashamed look on his face as he landed in front of Li Yao.
