Zhenfeng College had never been a very important existence to the Canyon Peak District. Although the slogan of surpassing the Big Four was loud and clear, it had only been a few years since it was shouted, and everyone had already regarded it as a joke.
In the Canyon Peak District, Canyon Peak College had always been valued and respected. But as long as they had a choice, almost all the aborigines of the Canyon Peak District would send their children to Canyon Peak College first. Although Zhenfeng College occasionally had some outstanding students, and in the past two years, they would occasionally surpass Canyon Peak College in the major examinations. But in the end, this was only due to the excellence of individual students. As a whole, they had not brought any qualitative changes to Zhenfeng College.
Even the Governor of Canyon Peak City, Wei Zhong, only maintained a polite respect for the Dean of Zhenfeng College, Guo Youdao. And this was mostly due to Guo Youdao's suspicious background as a member of the Big Four. Apart from that, there was really nothing in Zhenfeng College that was worthy of special attention from the ruler of the Canyon Peak District. Even today, when the guards and secret agents of the Governor's Mansion suddenly invaded Zhenfeng College, this was a scene that the students of Zhenfeng College had never seen before. From the moment the gate was broken in, all the students fell into a panic and ran around to spread the news. Even when Wei Hu and Wei Bao led their men into the main building's lobby, no one dared to step forward and ask anything. All the students only dared to watch from afar, guessing what had happened.
Most of the students of Zhenfeng College had no way to enter Canyon Peak College, and some had even been eliminated by the Canyon Peak College. The teachers of Zhenfeng College were also very average, and there was not even a Penetrator in the aspect of Essence and Spirit. After Wei Hu and Wei Bao shouted in the lobby, the students looked at each other, waiting for a teacher to come out and respond. But in the end, no teacher appeared. Finally, the one who squeezed out from the crowd of students was a person that even the students of Zhenfeng College had never taken seriously.
Guo Ting.
In Zhenfeng College, there were really not many people of lower status than him.
He was neither a student nor a teacher. He was merely Dean Guo Youdao's follower and servant. Usually, he did some extremely trivial chores. He seemed to be an ordinary servant with no personality and no ability that could be found anywhere.
But right now, when all the students were at a loss and all the teachers were nowhere to be seen, he walked out from the crowd. His expression was no different from how he usually did when he served tea and took out the trash. Just like that, he walked up to the fierce-looking Wei Hu and Wei Bao.
"The Dean is out. He hasn't returned yet," he said.
"Who are you?" Wei Hu asked. He had been to Zhenfeng College a few times, but he didn't know many people there. He had no impression of this docile guy in front of him.
"My name is Guo Ting," Guo Ting said, "President Guo is not here. If you need anything, I can pass a message to him."
"Pass a message?" Wei Hu sneered. The people of Zhenfeng College really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. First, there was Lu Ping who didn't take Castellan Wei Zhong's invitation seriously. Now, there was this strange guy who didn't seem to see the seriousness of the situation from their actions. He actually casually passed a message to him?
"I don't have a message to pass to him. Instead, he has a lot of things to explain to me," Wei Hu continued to sneer.
"Okay, I'll pass the message," Guo Ting said.
"You bastard!" Wei Hu suddenly became angry. He felt that he was being played. Right now, he also hoped that everyone in Zhenfeng College would know the seriousness of the situation. Without hesitation, he reached out to grab Guo Ting. He didn't know where this person came from, but in Zhenfeng College, there had never been anyone who was worthy of his attention. Even if it was Dean Guo Youdao, Wei Hu really didn't think that the old man would have any strength.
"Ah!"
Seeing Wei Hu suddenly make a move, the crowd immediately screamed.
In the eyes of the students, Guo Ting was an extremely ordinary person. What about Wei Hu? Although many people didn't recognize him, there was no one in the Gorge Peak District who didn't recognize the family emblem of Xiabong Castellan. Looking at the clothes of this group of people, it was already very close to the truth. When Wei Hu made a move, they could only scream. Other than that, they didn't dare to do anything.
However, Wei Hu's grab ended up grabbing empty air.
Everyone was stunned.
Wei Hu's attack looked very accurate and very ruthless. He didn't have the slightest intention of being lenient. Guo Ting also didn't seem to make any moves. However, after he left, his grab actually missed.
Did Wei Hu just want to scare the other party, so he stopped at the last moment?
Everyone felt that it should be so. However, looking at Wei Hu's expression, it definitely didn't seem like it. He also seemed to have encountered a situation that he couldn't understand at all. His face was full of surprise and confusion.
"Do you have any other business with President Guo?" Guo Ting was the only one left with a normal expression. He looked at Wei Hu as if he didn't know what kind of danger he had just faced.
"Who the hell are you?" Wei Hu withdrew his empty right hand and his astonished expression. His expression became very grave. Although he didn't know what exactly happened, he could already confirm that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person. He was so calm not because he didn't know the situation, but because he had someone to rely on.
"My name is Guo Ting. I am President Guo's follower." Guo Ting continued to introduce himself like this, but this time, he was a little more specific.
"Follower?" Wei Hu was stunned. Looking at Guo Ting's clothes again, wasn't it the clothes commonly seen on an ordinary servant?
"A mere servant dares to talk so much in front of us?" Wei Bao said angrily after hearing Guo Ting's identity.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Guo Ting looked at Wei Hu and Wei Bao strangely. "Aren't you two also servants?"
Silence.
The main hall of Zhai Feng Restaurant became extremely quiet at this moment.
Guo Ting's words left Wei Hu and Wei Bao speechless for a moment. Because there was nothing wrong with what he said. The guards of the city lord's residence could only be described as servants of the Wei family. They didn't have any substantial official positions in the empire. Even a lowly soldier of Gorge Peak City's garrison was recognized by the imperial officials to be of a higher status than them.
Their power was only because they were deeply trusted by City Lord Wei Zhong. In a sense, they were like Wei Zhong's spokesmen, or rather, Wei Zhong's avatars. It was because of Wei Zhong's existence and power that they, the servants, received a different kind of reverence.
But even if they were some special servants, they still couldn't change the fact that they were still servants. Wei Bao's contempt for his servants was met with Guo Ting's question. After a moment of silence, he had already made his move. He wanted to kill Guo Ting.
He reached out with one hand.
