Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 530: Isn’t your great-grandfather already dead?

Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Isn’t your great-grandfather already dead?

Lu Xiao casually found a corner to squat down in.

After squatting, he realized the angle was quite good, allowing him to see everything clearly inside.

Inside, there seemed to be a heated dispute, with curses, shouts, and accusations, a chaotic uproar of voices.

At first, Lu Xiao perked up his ears to listen carefully, but after ten minutes, he lost interest.

It was just someone among the ten elders of the Academy proposing the removal of Zhan Qingyun, and others disagreeing, so they just kept on arguing.

"I should have known better than to come up here."

"They aren’t even fighting, how boring."

After mumbling to himself, Lu Xiao squeezed himself further into the corner.

His position was still quite good; it was difficult to be noticed from the back, but he could still see inside.

"Tsk, my senior sister does have great legs."

"I wonder how she maintains them."

"She’s almost forty, and yet her skin is still so shiny."

The only thing that somewhat interested Lu Xiao was probably Yu Heng’s legs.

Lu Xiao didn’t know how much time had passed, and just when he was getting sleepy, a roar suddenly erupted from the crowd, "This is so irritating!"

Lu Xiao immediately perked up, recognizing the voice as Yu Heng’s.

Had negotiations broken down? Were they about to start fighting?

"If we can’t come to an agreement, then let’s not bother. Anyway, I oppose the proposal to remove Zhan Qingyun,"

"Either kill me or drop the subject. Is that so hard to understand?"

"You’ve been bickering for hours, isn’t it annoying?"

Yu Heng was clearly in a very strong position.

"Yu Heng, I hope you can think of the bigger picture,"

"Other than you, the rest of the Academy elders have already agreed to proceed with the vote for removal."

"If Zhan Qingyun is truly popular, he might not necessarily lose the vote, right?"

Someone in the crowd was still trying to persuade Yu Heng.

Yu Heng snorted coldly and disdainfully.

"He might not necessarily lose? With seventy percent of the Academy’s instructors from various clans of the Royal City, you’re telling me he might not lose?"

A brief silence fell over the scene.

Lu Xiao had come to understand that to remove the Dean, all elders had to agree.

After all elders agreed, all Academy instructors would then proceed to vote.

The current problem was that Yu Heng disagreed, so the entire process was stuck.

"Our Dean is really poor at garnering support," Lu Xiao shook his head.

Out of the ten Academy elders, only Yu Heng was willing to help him.

"Since Elder Yu Heng disagrees, let’s proceed with another vote," a serene voice suggested.

Lu Xiao glanced over, the speaker was a man with a long face.

He seemed to be in his forties and was the youngest among the ten elders of the Academy, after Yu Heng.

"I, Mei Jibai, representing the Penglai Holy Land, propose the removal of Yu Heng from his position as elder of the First Academy."

From the corner, Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow; well, if you can’t solve the problem, solve the person causing the problem—this tactic was quite impressive.

Mei Jibai sure had a sharp mind.

Just the name though... hmm, kind of weird.

Yu Heng’s expression had already turned dark.

"I agree!"

"I also agree."

The other elders quickly expressed their positions.

In just a few seconds, apart from Zhai He, who had succumbed to Demon Possession, the remaining eight all nodded in agreement to remove Yu Heng from his position as elder.

Yu Heng didn’t say a word, just staring intently at Mei Jibai.

The Xuanyuan Tomb and Penglai Holy Land have always had a good relation.

Before going up to the Heavenly Platform, Yu Heng thought Mei Jibai would be her ally.

But unexpectedly, he backstabbed her outright.

"You don’t need to look at me like that, Yu Heng, this is also my great-grandfather’s will," Mei Jibai shrugged his shoulders.

"Aren’t you afraid my master will trouble your great-grandfather?"

"My great-grandfather said that since there has been no news from Xuanyuan Panshi for more than twenty years, he’s probably dead. Since he’s dead, Xuanyuan Tomb has to move back behind."

Yu Heng squinted her eyes, her face filled with resentment but she was unable to refute.

In the corner, a cold light also flashed through Lu Xiao’s eyes.

There was a sudden uproar on the scene.

Xuanyuan Panshi is dead?

If someone else had said this, nobody would believe it, but if it came from Mei Jibai’s great-grandfather, it would have a high degree of credibility.

After all, Mei Jibai’s great-grandfather Mei Yue was Above Demi Immortal, a being of the same realm as Xuanyuan Panshi.

"Mei Jibai, what nonsense are you talking about? My master is perfectly fine!" Yu Heng rebuked loudly, but there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

Now that she couldn’t find her master, if this news really spread and Xuanyuan Panshi did not appear or respond, it would indeed be very troublesome.

"I’m not the one who said it; it was my great-grandfather. If you have a problem, go find him," Mei Jibai shrugged, his mouth curving smugly upward.

"Your great-grandfather... isn’t he already dead?" a loud voice rang out.

Everyone was stunned, then began to look for the source of the voice.

When they saw Lu Xiao, everyone was a bit dumbfounded.

As for Yu Heng, a trace of relief appeared on her face; this kid finally showed up, he just couldn’t stand to see his senior sister bullied by others, could he?
