Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 159 Remembering
"You bastard, you almost scared me to death."

However, as he spoke, as if he had thought of something, Wang Tian's hand that was wiping the cold sweat from his forehead suddenly paused, and he stood up abruptly, his face full of horror.

He circled around Chen Yao twice and said with disbelief in his eyes.

"You kid are still alive?!"

"I haven't seen you for so many years, and you come up here and curse me to death?"

Chen Yao was speechless.

Hearing this, Wang Tian also reacted, returned to his seat with an embarrassed look and smiled.

"It's you, kid. I don't know what evil things you did back then, and you're wanted by the palace. I heard that the wanted order has been posted to the northern border. I didn't expect you to be able to come back alive. It's really rare."

Despite his harsh words, Wang Tian was still happy for Chen Yao. Although he didn't dare to say a word when Chen Yao was wanted, he still observed three seconds of silence for Chen Yao in his heart, which shows the deep friendship between the two.

"Alright, although I don't know how you managed to come back intact and become an elder, I still decided to give you a welcome. Recently, many female instructors have been promoted in the academy. I will introduce them to you later."

As he spoke, Wang Tian gave Chen Yao an ambiguous look with a lewd and obscene look on his face.

Chen Yao was a little surprised when he heard this. This old man used to keep a closer eye on his female teachers than anything else. Once, Chen Yao wanted to play a scene, but was kicked out by Wang Tian. Unexpectedly, he was willing to do it this time.

But unfortunately, he is not lucky enough to enjoy it now. He waved his hands helplessly and sighed.

"Forget it. I'm afraid your academy will be demolished soon."

Hearing this, Wang Tian was stunned and looked at Chen Yao in surprise.

"Are you possessed by a ghost? Didn't you like female teachers the most before? Also, what does this have to do with the academy? This is in the Spirit Hall, who dares to act wildly here?"

"Just think of me as a ghost. It's not good for you to know too much."

Chen Yao smiled, without further explanation, and started making tea.

I was too depressed recently. After coming to this familiar place and listening to some dirty talk, I feel a lot better.

"Humph, you are putting on airs now, kid."

Wang Tian snorted in mock dissatisfaction. The reason he had been able to hold on to the title of dean of the Wuhun Academy until now was not because of his ability to embezzle and harass his female subordinates.

Seeing that Chen Yao now had a lot of stories to tell, Wang Tian didn't want to talk about it, let alone that Chen Yao didn't want to talk about it. Even if he wanted to talk about it, Wang Tian didn't dare to listen. So he didn't ask any more questions, but changed the subject. With a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, he said to Chen Yao with emotion.

"Speaking of the academy, I, the old man, actually have to thank you for your kindness. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be sitting here today."

"How to say?"

Chen Yao held the teacup, took a sip, and asked casually without even raising his eyelids.

"You were still in the Spirit Hall at that time. You should know that the Pope was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Spirit Academy in that Academy Elite Competition, right?"

Wang Tian also picked up the teacup handed to him by Chen Yao and said calmly.

"I thought your good days were over after that incident. Just now, when I was downstairs, I was a little surprised to hear that you are still the principal."

Chen Yao nodded without comment and continued.

"But what does this have to do with me?"

"It has something to do with you indirectly."

Wang Tian glanced at Chen Yao and continued.

"Didn't you squeeze in a younger generation from the same village? His qualifications are much worse than yours before, and you didn't even say hello, and you just left him there.

You were already on the verge of being expelled from the academy, and then, somehow or other, you did something in the inner hall that won the favor of the little princess. But then, you didn't live up to her wishes and disappeared, causing the little princess to keep asking for you every day.

It just so happened that she passed by the academy one time and mistook the junior who looked a bit like you for you, so you did have some contact with her.

We old guys did not dare to ignore this, and began to carefully train your younger generation.

But unexpectedly, after this incident, the boy seemed to have become a completely different person. He made rapid progress and went from being a last-place student to a person who met the standards of a genius in the academy.

At that time, the palace was planning to reform the academy, and it was because of the fact that I trained this kid that I, an old man, was able to escape the disaster and still sit in this position.

And this guy was the one you pushed in, do you think he has something to do with you?"

Seeing Wang Tian's excited look, Chen Yao was a little surprised. He started to recall, and a bunch of not particularly clear memories slowly emerged in his mind.

Soon, a scene of a middle-aged man with a simple face, with his son, holding a tattered purse and begging bitterly appeared in Chen Yao's mind.

"So it's him, his name is Chen Ming?"

Chen Yao finally remembered and nodded slowly. Then he looked at Wang Tian and teased.

"I didn't expect that a random person I sent in at the beginning would actually save you, an old thing, and allow you to bully those female subordinates here. If I had known this would happen, I would not have accepted the benefit at the beginning."

"Go away, you just can't stand seeing me doing well!"

When Wang Tian heard this, he immediately became furious.

But then he thought of something and continued speaking to Chen Yao.

"By the way, that guy is now one of the most famous people in the academy. It seems that you also have a high status in the inner hall. If you are short of people, I will call him over. You two can have a good chat. Maybe he can help you later."

As Wang Tian mentioned this, his original impression of Chen Ming gradually became clearer.

"No need. That kid pretended to be respectful in front of me, but his eyes were full of dissatisfaction. He is not someone who will live in peace."

Regarding this person who did not leave a deep impression on him, Chen Yao shook his head calmly and mentioned it casually.

After hearing this, Wang Tian was stunned, and then a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"Knock knock!"

However, at this moment, a gentle knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two. Wang Tian was a little surprised and didn't understand who would come to see him at this time, but after thinking about it, he still shouted at the top of his voice.

"Enter!"

Now it was different from before. He was discussing students' educational issues with his female subordinates, so there was naturally nothing shameful about it.

The next moment, the door was pushed open.

When the person came in, Wang Tian was stunned for a moment, then he immediately restrained his emotions and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"It's Chen Ming, come in quickly!"

"Hello, principal."

Chen Ming outside the door nodded, also with a faint smile on his face, and walked into the principal's office generously.

As for this loser who had risen from a loser to a star in the academy, Wang Tian was very considerate and pulled over a chair and waved his hand.

"Come, Chen Ming, take a seat. It happens that you also know this person today. He is Chen Yao, the one who brought you into the academy. Master Chen."

Looking at Wang Tian's smiling face, a hint of disgust flashed through Chen Ming's heart.

Although Wang Tian acted cautiously, some rumors were inevitable over the years, and Chen Ming, a student valued by the academy, naturally knew something about what Wang Tian had done.

He considered himself to be pure and innocent, and was extremely disgusted by Wang Tian's behavior.

But because of Wang Tian's identity as the principal and some calculations in his mind, Chen Ming still tried his best to hide his inner thoughts, acted flattered, and said to Wang Tian.

"Thank you for your kindness, Principal!"

Then, at Wang Tian's signal, he sat on the chair.

Wang Tian watched Chen Ming sit down with a casual smile on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Ming's face, watching his expression.

Although he was the principal, he actually did not have much contact with Chen Ming. Apart from the fact that he personally expressed his condolences and appreciation to Chen Ming because he escaped the disaster, he had only met him a few times.

His energy is mainly focused on communicating and interacting with his female subordinates.

It was only recently that Chen Ming's reputation became more and more prosperous, which made Wang Tian start to think about it. He planned to invest in him based on his old relationship with the Spirit Hall for so many years. However, because of Chen Yao's casual words just now, he couldn't help but re-examine Chen Ming.

After taking a few glances, Wang Tian sighed in his heart and put away his little thoughts.

He is already at this age, it is better for him not to mess around anymore, so as not to dig a big hole for himself.

But Chen Ming did not pay attention to Wang Tian. As soon as he sat down, all his attention was on Chen Yao. Although he did not have a clear impression of this man because he did not dare to look up when he faced Chen Yao at the beginning, the name of this man was deeply rooted in his bones.

It's not entirely true to say that they are similar, there are just a few similar traces between the eyebrows, and her face is exquisite, with delicate features, and a touch of unruly and evil in her seductiveness. It's like a perfect masterpiece carefully carved by God, and every detail tells of breathtaking beauty.

Even though Chen Ming has always been very confident about his looks and has won the hearts of countless girls in the college, and he is secretly proud of it, but now standing in front of Chen Yao, he seems so dull compared to him.

It was as if Chen Yao was a beautiful painting meticulously crafted, while Chen Ming was just a half-finished painting that failed, a draft that the artist had scribbled on as a way of venting his anger, then casually crumpled up and thrown into the trash.

Such a sharp contrast was a big blow to the originally confident Chen Ming. He secretly clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his flesh, but he maintained a smile on his face.

His eyes were burning and his expression was extremely sincere as he spoke to Chen Yao.

"Master Chen Yao, I never thought I would be able to meet you again. If it weren't for your support back then, I wouldn't be where I am today. I've always wanted to thank you in person again!"

Hearing this, Chen Yao slightly turned his head, glanced at Chen Ming, and said lightly.

"Back then, I accepted your father's money and put you into the academy. It was a deal that was completed a long time ago. Your achievements since then belong to you. You don't need to be humble or thank me."

In the village where he was born, Chen Yao did not have many friendships with the people except the two elders who died of illness at an early age. If he had not overestimated his own capabilities and went to the top floor of Tianxiang Tower, and his monthly salary was overspent and he was in urgent need of emergency, he would not have agreed to Chen Ming's father to send Chen Ming to the Wuhun Academy in exchange for those few dollars.

I can only say that this kid is lucky. He came at the right time and has the ability to stand out in the cruel environment of the academy. He is really capable.

But that's it.

Now, let alone this kid being two-faced and what he is thinking, even if he really has a pure heart and wants to repay his gratitude, Chen Yao doesn't need it.

Now, even if he wanted the national treasure of the Tiandou royal family, the Heart of the Seagod, Chen Yao estimated that Bibi Dong would just go all out, rush to the palace of the Tiandou royal family and snatch it for him.

That is to say, he was blinded by shit at the time and did not notice the change in Bibi Dong's attitude towards him. He had a preconceived notion that Bibi Dong wanted to kill him.

Now, she has fallen into such an embarrassing situation, even worse off than the mistresses of high-ranking officials and powerful people. She has to depend on Bibi Dong's mood if she wants to move a little.

Otherwise, he really wanted to lie down and rely on Bibi Dong, slowly developing to the maximum level in the Spirit Hall, instead of thinking about how to escape every day.

After hearing what Chen Yao said, Chen Ming's face showed a little unnaturalness. Even though his words were full of affirmation of his current achievements and efforts, Chen Yao's tone was so flat without any ups and downs that Chen Ming felt that Chen Yao was looking down on him.

Although it is true.

After Chen Ming's expression froze for a moment, he regained his bright smile and said to Chen Yao.

"Thank you for your affirmation, Master Chen Yao. I am honored!"

But Chen Yao just nodded slightly, sipped his tea, and said nothing more.

He came here this time just to chat and brag with Lao Wang out of boredom, but Chen Ming suddenly came out and gave him some insincere flattery and compliments, which spoiled the mood a bit and made him not want to stay anymore.

Although Chen Ming didn't know how to read people's expressions, he was able to sense the awkward atmosphere lingering in the air because of Chen Yao's silence.

His mind raced for a moment, and then he spoke again.

"When you disappeared, Miss Renxue was extremely anxious. It can be seen that you, my Lord, hold a very important position in Miss Renxue's heart. I wonder if you, my Lord, have visited Miss Renxue after you came back this time?"

When Chen Yao heard this, he paused slightly in the motion of holding the teacup to his lips, turned his head, looked at Chen Ming with a strange expression on his face, and then spoke in a playful tone.

"You call Qian Renxue Miss instead of Your Highness? Are you being disrespectful to Qian Renxue, the daughter of the former Pope, or are you interested in her?"

Facing Chen Yao's deep pupils and playful smile, the smile on Chen Ming's face suddenly froze and his body became slightly stiff.
