Chapter 702 Why Give Face to Him

"You’d better take your hand off right now!"

Beichen Feng looked coldly at Li Zheng Yi, his gaze also glancing at Uncle Hua next to him, who was about to explode in anger.

For some reason, Uncle Hua, who was just about to speak, suddenly felt a chill in his spirit when he met the eyes of the man in front of him. He could feel an extremely foreign sensation, as if his entire being was seen through by the man, yet he couldn’t see through the man’s depth at all. This feeling caused an indescribable tremor in his heart, and the words on his lips were swallowed back down harshly.

"Li, that, this is Teacher Beichen from the School of Mathematics—uh, Teacher Beichen, this is a former student who graduated from our school. He’s just a kid, don’t stoop to his level..."

The Academic Director truly hadn’t expected Beichen Feng to react so strongly. Seeing the standoff between the two sides, he quickly stood up and offered a forced, bitter smile as he tried to mediate, cursing Li Zheng Yi inwardly for causing unnecessary trouble. Why come all this way to stir up matters, and if it had to be mentioned, couldn’t he have picked some other school instead of the School of Mathematics? Moreover, it was about Xiao Yi’s matter—didn’t he know that the School of Mathematics housed the most eccentrics?

"A student who has already graduated? Since you’ve graduated, why are you coming back here?"

If it had been someone else, they might have backed down after hearing the Academic Director’s mediation, giving him some face, but unfortunately, Beichen Feng was not someone else. Upon hearing the words of the Academic Director, he snorted coldly, with disdain thickening in his eyes.

"You... what did you say!"

Li Zheng Yi was so angry he felt like his lungs were going to burst. He had always believed that he brought honor to Z University. In fact, during this visit to Z University, setting aside the recent scandal, all levels of school leadership and students had been very enthusiastic towards him. The teachers lavished him with praise, and even the legendary Mr. Shen had taken time to meet with him and speak words of encouragement. The students were full of admirers of his.

When had he ever encountered someone speaking to him with such cold words?

Even Buddha has his limits of patience, let alone the fact that he was no Buddha—he was far from that realm. It didn’t matter that the Academic Director introduced Beichen Feng as a teacher from the School of Mathematics, even if Beichen Feng were the dean of the School of Mathematics, he couldn’t take it anymore.

"Are you out of your mind, or is it that your ears are also not working?"

Beichen Feng looked at Li Zheng Yi without any politeness, the disdain in his eyes deepening as he repeated the question, "Since you’ve already graduated, what are you coming back for?"

"You..."

Li Zheng Yi pointed at Beichen Feng, his eyes nearly bursting with red bloodshot veins as he raised his fist, almost ready to strike down.

"Young master!"

Uncle Hua, watching Li Zheng Yi raise his fist, barely managed not to panic, quickly reaching out to grab Li Zheng Yi and pulling his hand back. Although he couldn’t gauge the depth of the man before him, that glance had intimidated him, letting him know that this person was incredibly powerful.

Since entering the Condensation period, he had rarely felt such trepidation.

Moreover, he always felt that Z University was somewhat eerie. It wasn’t his first time entering the campus. From the first time he accompanied Li Zheng Yi to Z University, he had felt as if there was a faint presence around him, watching him, preventing him from acting rashly. Yet, no matter how hard he tried, he could never find the source or even the slightest trace of surveillance.

This was why he became particularly cautious after entering Z University.

If Li Zheng Yi’s fist had truly landed on him, he truly couldn’t imagine the consequences!

"Li, don’t do anything rash!"

Seeing Li Zheng Yi about to start a fight, the Academic Director nearly broke out in a cold sweat, shouting a warning. He wasn’t afraid of Li Zheng Yi hurting Beichen Feng, because he knew all too well that Li Zheng Yi, despite his physical appearance, would not be able to best the shorter Beichen Feng, nor injure him. He also wasn’t worried about Beichen Feng injuring Li Zheng Yi—if he got hurt, he got hurt; it was just a matter of treating a rich kid. He was afraid that Li Zheng Yi’s punch, if it truly landed on Beichen Feng, might stir up serious trouble. He already had his hands full with a few individuals like Beichen Feng, and if the incident provoked the involvement of the even more problematic and abnormal dean, he really might be driven to bash his head against a wall.

Watching Li Zheng Yi’s fist being pulled back by Uncle Hua, Beichen Feng curled his lip in a scornful expression, as if saying a coward would always be a coward, and he had expected this outcome all along.

"You... I’ll remember this... I hope I don’t see you outside of Z University!"

Pulled back by Uncle Hua and after the Academic Director’s yelling, Li Zheng Yi’s mind finally cleared slightly, and he remembered where he stood—Z University, a place certainly not for him to wreak havoc. But, as he watched the expression on the corner of Beichen Feng’s mouth, his face felt as if it had been fiercely slapped several times, twitching uncontrollably, his eyes filled with spite as he glared at Beichen Feng.

"I just hope that you never set foot in this campus again."

Beichen Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his lips slightly upturned, an unparalleled arrogance and domineering air about him. The disdain in the corners of his eyes declared his contempt for such platitudes.

"Fine, fine, it seems that Z University doesn’t welcome me after all. If that’s the case, I’m just deluding myself. Teacher Wang, I’ll take my leave!"

Li Zhengyi felt so angry he thought he might explode. After saying ’fine’ twice with a scoff, he nodded to the Academic Director and quickly turned to stride toward the door.

"Ah, Li..."

The Academic Director stretched out his hand and called out, wanting to retain Li Zhengyi for a moment. But after calling out, he ultimately made no move and said nothing further, just watching Li Zhengyi storm away with a wry smile before turning towards Beichen Feng, who stood proud as a rooster. "Teacher Beichen, why must you do this? The man came with good intentions, just to give a heads-up, didn’t he..."

"Good intentions?"

Beichen Feng sneered, his eyes burning as he stared at the Academic Director, "Do you think he came with good intentions? Do you really believe that?"

"Well..."

Facing Beichen Feng’s intense gaze, the Academic Director’s expression faltered. He wasn’t a fool; he knew very well that Li Zhengyi didn’t come here out of any good intentions. From the moment Li started talking, the Academic Director understood his purpose. Although he did not particularly like to indulge in gossip, it was unavoidable. Li Zhengyi was too ’famous’, and the school’s forums were abuzz with rumors about him, many concerned with the jealousy and contention between him and a student named Xiao Yi. Whenever he logged on, whether he wanted to see them or not, those rumors filled his vision.

After a while, with resignation, he spoke, "Even so, you didn’t have to be so stiff with a student, to the point of such a deadlock!"

"He’s not my student, why should I give him any face?"

Beichen Feng said with disdain.

"You..."

Speechless, the Academic Director looked at Beichen Feng, shook his head helplessly, and after a struggle, decided to give up the idea of trying to reason with him, to avoid further annoyance.

"He’s just a basketball player who corrupts morals and has a rotten reputation. You don’t need to take it to heart. Cutting ties with such a person sooner rather than later is only beneficial, no harm done. Let’s drop it and discuss the arrangements for my final exam instead."

Beichen Feng waved his hand, clearly indifferent to the Academic Director’s lingering concerns.

"..........."

Listening to Beichen Feng’s words, the Academic Director was once again at a loss for words. Were these meant to be comforting? But then again, there seemed to be some truth in his words. A person like Li Zhengyi didn’t seem to be anything special... Wait a minute, didn’t he just act like he didn’t know who Li Zhengyi was? How did he know he played basketball?

Could it be that he knew everything all along and was just feigning ignorance before?

So... was he provoking on purpose?

As the Academic Director’s thoughts multiplied, his gaze towards Beichen Feng turned increasingly peculiar, and his expression grew more stern.

...................................

"Thump!"

Sitting in the car, Li Zhengyi’s fist suddenly slammed hard against the front of the vehicle, producing a loud noise. Thankfully, his car was a high-quality import; otherwise, a normal car might have dented under the force of his punch.

"Bang, bang!"

Yet even the powerful blow did not dispel the anger in Li Zhengyi’s heart. He punched repeatedly until he began to pant, and then he stopped.

But his face still looked terrible, like a wounded beast.
