Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 724 - 664: Spreading Rumors is a Serious Crime!

Chapter 724: Chapter 664: Spreading Rumors is a Serious Crime!

Once all the guests were seated, the Grand Preceptor looked at the many people who had come to celebrate his birthday and was overjoyed.

Even Ren Buqun felt a little moved at the moment.

So many people have come!

I have finally risen to prominence.

So, the Grand Preceptor picked up the jug beside him, poured himself a cup of wine, and lifted his cup.

However, before the Grand Preceptor had a chance to speak, he heard the Cat-eared Lady beside him whispering a reminder, "Grand Preceptor, your health isn’t good, you mustn’t drink alcohol."

Ren Buqun said with a smile, "It’s all right, it’s all right. Today is my birthday, I’m the boss. Drinking one cup, that’s nothing."

As he spoke, the Grand Preceptor raised his cup.

And seeing that the Grand Preceptor had lifted his cup, everyone else also raised their own.

"Today, I am deeply grateful that all of you could attend my birthday celebration. Everyone here, no matter who, is an honored guest of the Imperial College..."

Bang!

Just then, a loud noise came from afar.

Immediately, someone ran in and shouted, "It’s bad! Someone is kicking in the door!"

Afterward, about a dozen figures rushed in like ghosts, heading inside.

They didn’t wreak havoc left and right along the way.

However, suddenly barging in during someone’s birthday feast, and kicking open the door no less, that was very rude.

However, as those dozen figures reached the entrance of the hall, Zhang San immediately stood up, his face a mix of shock and confusion, and greeted the people at the doorway, "Big Sister, Vermilion Bird Principal Officer, why have you come?"

Those who had burst in were the Martial Artists of the Town Martial Office.

The Vermilion Bird Principal Officer stood aside, silent. Her task today was to kick down the door and stand by the side to intimidate everyone.

The one really in charge of communication was Third Miss Gan standing at the center.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies. I am Third Miss Gan, Acting Officer of the Town Martial Office, and this is our Vermilion Bird Principal Officer. Today, we are here to investigate a case concerning Imperial College students spreading rumors about the Wang Family. If we have caused any disturbance, we hope for your understanding,"

As she spoke, Third Miss Gan took out an arrest warrant and read, "Wang Quexiao, Wang Litong, and Wang Buying. These three, they are all students of the Imperial College, right? Could the teachers of the Imperial College please bring these three students over to us? We need to take them back to the Town Martial Office for investigation."

While everyone was bewildered and shocked, Zhang San immediately stepped forward and said, "That won’t be necessary, surely? Although these three are students at the Imperial College, they wouldn’t have done anything wrong. Today we are celebrating the birthday of the Grand Preceptor of the Imperial College. Big Sister, could you give us some face?"

"Hmph!" Third Miss Gan snorted coldly, glared at Zhang San, and said angrily, "These three have been spreading rumors about the Wang Family, about the double prodigies of the Wang Family all over the Capital. They have already caused a great disruption to the work of the Town Martial Office. What now? Are you refusing to hand them over, expecting our Martial Artists of the Town Martial Office to search the Imperial College?"

Zhang San immediately looked towards the Grand Preceptor sitting above, his face full of embarrassment.

And in that moment, the Grand Preceptor himself was completely dumbfounded.

Am I not just celebrating a birthday?

Who have I provoked?

Just then, an elder from the Wang Family in the Capital stood up and said coldly, "Whether the Wang Family has twin prodigies is our own business. It’s not something for the Town Martial Office to worry about."

However, just as the Wang Family elder had stood up and spoken the words, in the next moment,

From the direction of the Town Martial Office, a powerful surge of Qi soared into the sky.

Those present who were Cultivators in the Spiritual Platform Realm could feel that someone over at the Town Martial Office had broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm.

For a Cultivator reaching the Purple Mansion Realm, that marked the beginning of a whole new world.

And just when the Wang Family elders were feeling somewhat embarrassed, from the direction of the Town Martial Office, another powerful surge of Qi rose up.

Another cultivator had broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm.

Double Purple Mansion in a single day!

This meant that the combat power of the Town Martial Office in the Capital had increased by two more Purple Mansion Realm experts.

At this moment, even though the Wang Family elders knew that this matter was actually their own affair, they dared not speak to Third Miss Gan with the same tone as before.

"Zhang San, could you help mediate?"

The Wang Family elder could only swallow his pride and speak to Zhang San.

Zhang San, feigning difficulty, said, "Although she’s my Big Sister, in the face of official matters, my face doesn’t mean much either! Grand Preceptor, won’t you?"

There, still holding his wine cup, the Grand Preceptor was extremely awkward.

Fortunately, at this time, other martial artists from the Town Martial Office had already found the three Wang Family students at the place where students were dining.

"All three have been found."

Upon hearing the report from her subordinates, Third Miss Gan nodded in satisfaction, then cupped her fists and bowed to the Grand Preceptor, "Since today is the Grand Preceptor’s birthday, we won’t disturb you further. We’ll take our leave."

At that moment, a Wang Family elder couldn’t hold back and angrily said, "Matters of the Wang Family, people of the Wang Family, since when can you Town Martial Office simply take them away as you please?"

Third Miss Gan had already planned to turn around and leave.

And nearby, Zhang San was also thinking to himself, why is everyone so quiet today, with no one standing out to cause a stir.

After all, on a birthday, isn’t a bit of the color red splattering around more festive?

At this juncture, the Wang Family elder stepped forward.

Perfect!

Just as Third Miss Gan had turned around, upon hearing this questioning voice, she turned back and pointed a finger, and a burst of Qi Gang shot out.

With a spurt,

A huge bloody hole blossomed at the throat of the Wang Family elder, spreading like a rose in brilliant red.

As the vivid red splashed out, the clothes of many guests around were stained with this scalding redness infused with death.

Teachers from the Imperial College, who were already a tad unhappy about the Town Martial Office coming to arrest someone on the Grand Preceptor’s birthday, instantly lost their temper.

As for the Grand Preceptor, he frowned at the drop of fresh red in his own wine cup.

Without tasting the wine, he already felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Though not everyone present may be martial artists, still, I must remind everyone. Spreading rumors is a grave offense!"

After speaking, Third Miss Gan’s cold gaze swept across the bodies of the people around before she left.

As the people of the Town Martial Office departed, Zhang San immediately went to the Grand Preceptor’s side and apologized, "Grand Preceptor, I am truly sorry. I didn’t expect the Town Martial Office to come to arrest someone today. My apologies, I am sincerely sorry. Come on, Grand Preceptor, you are a large-hearted person, please don’t hold this against me. Let’s toast."

While speaking, Zhang San took a wine cup from the Cat-eared Lady’s hand and poured himself a drink.

However, the Grand Preceptor, looking at the drop of fresh red spreading in his wine cup, sadly shook his head and then gently set down the cup.

"Drinking alcohol is bad for one’s health, I won’t drink. Everyone, please enjoy yourselves. I am a bit tired. I will take my leave now."

Saying this, the Grand Preceptor stood up shakily and turned to leave.
