C1928 Cao Cheng Attacked

"Last month, the Martial Arts Institute was harassed more than twenty times by various forces... Under the leadership of two elders, Cao Cheng and Cai Ning, no one attacked the Martial Arts Institute."

"The spirit beasts at the back of the mountain rebelled thirteen times. Under the joint efforts of all of you, they successfully repelled the spirit beasts."

... ""

Hee Mei slowly opened her mouth. There was not the slightest ripple in her tone. She appeared to be overly calm.

Below, the expressions of many disciples became increasingly ugly. Some even began to sob softly.

The problem of being harassed by various powers was not to be discussed for the time being.

But every time they wanted to stop the beast tide, there would always be some among them who would not be able to return.

Those people, or their friends, or their loved ones, or their loved ones.

They joined the Martial Arts Institute. It was because they felt that this place was safe. Who would have thought that they would still have to go through separation and risk their lives?

Cao Cheng felt this spreading emotion. He secretly called out in his heart, 'The opportunity has arrived.'

He immediately stood up and walked step by step onto the high platform. He met Hee Mei's gaze and said in his shirt,

"Dean He, I want to ask you a few questions."

"Go ahead."

Hee Mei was stunned and nodded.

Cao Cheng looked down at the crowd of disciples and shouted, "A few months ago, at least when Dean Shi was here, no one dared to disturb the Martial Arts Institute."

"At that time, the spirit beasts rebelled, and they didn't appear once a month."

"I don't know how Dean Shi did it, but he did it."

"When these disciples joined the Martial Arts Institute, which one of them didn't want to grow under the protection of the Martial Arts Institute, but did our Martial Arts Institute achieve their expectations?"

When the disciples heard this, although they didn't make a sound or nod, their emotions had already been stirred, and they all raised their heads in unison.

Hee Mei only sneered.

Was there a need to find these excuses just to make trouble for them?

Compared to a few months ago, why didn't you just compare it to a few years ago? At that time, the Lower Realm Spiritual Force hadn't recovered yet, and there was no mention of a beast disaster at all.

It's just that the spirit beasts in the back mountain are getting stronger and stronger, and they don't want to be locked up in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. What, can you blame me?

"What are you trying to say?" Hee Mei's voice gradually became cold.

Cao Cheng took a deep breath and looked down.

"I have wanted to say these words a long time ago. I can't bear it any longer."

"Why? The Martial Arts Institute must stop those violent spiritual beasts. Since they want to leave, the Martial Arts Institute will just let them go."

This was the simplest and most effective method.

Obviously, the countless disciples below also thought the same way, and nodded their heads one after another.

They had joined the Martial Arts Institute to ensure their own safety. As for where those fleeing spiritual beasts had gone to cause trouble, what did that have to do with them?

Cao Cheng took a few steps forward, and said in an increasingly oppressive tone:

"This is you, as the dean, who has failed in his judgment."

"But what right do you have? Your mistakes will be borne by the disciples."

"And the forces that harassed my Martial Arts Institute... To put it bluntly, it was because you were incompetent and underestimated my Martial Arts Institute. If that Dean Mo was here, I wouldn't believe that they would dare to be so impudent!"

Hee Mei did not back down when she met Cao Cheng's forced gaze. She just frowned and said,

"Dean Mo has already left. Why mention someone we cannot find?"

At the same time, she glared at a corner below.

There, a certain calf was applauding Cao Cheng's words along with the tide.

This bad guy had clearly shown his face from the very beginning. Could it be that he wanted to see her make a fool of herself on purpose?

Realizing that Hee Mei was distracted, he thought that it was because she did not know how to explain. Cao Cheng took a step further and directly stated his purpose of making trouble today.

"I did not mean to make things difficult for the dean."

"It's just that I am not capable enough, so I should give up my position to avoid harming myself. Although I admit that I am not as good as Dean Mo back then, I can guarantee that I will not let the disciples suffer any more injuries because of the beast tide."

This was a complete and utter coercion.

The discussions of the disciples below had long become noisy. Most of them naturally agreed to let Cao Cheng be the dean. There was also a small portion who did not approve of Hee Mei and did not agree with Cao Cheng.

In their hearts, they were looking forward to another answer...

At this moment, Hee Mei cleared her throat and said, " Since you have said so, I have a piece of news to announce today."

"From now on, I'm no longer the Dean of the Martial Arts Institute. The new Dean will be the Dean Mo, whom you have been full of praises for."

The noise below suddenly disappeared.

Cao Cheng's eyelids twitched. He was tongue-tied and did not know what to say.

Hee Mei only smiled at this moment. She waved her hand towards a corner below.

Mo Nan raised his head and walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

Most of the disciples of the Martial Arts Institute had never seen Mo Nan before. However, when they saw that he was actually a person of similar age to them, they started whispering to each other.

On the stage, Cao Cheng glanced at Cai Ning, who was standing beside him. When he saw that the latter's face was as white as a sheet of paper, he had a rough idea of what was going on. Cold sweat started appearing on his forehead as he tried to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible.

At the same time, he glared at Hee Mei with hatred. His teeth were about to break.

This woman had hidden herself well enough. He did not hear any news of Mo Nan's return.

Right. It wasn't as if there was no news at all.

A few days ago, a man entered the director's house but never came out. He should have thought of...

"Cai Ning."

On the stage, Mo Nan ignored Cao Cheng and called Elder Cai's name with a smile. He greeted Elder Cai like an old friend.

Cai Ning's legs went weak. He immediately wanted to return to where the elders were standing, but he looked at Cao Cheng and gritted his teeth.

Mo Nan didn't care. Since they were old acquaintances, he had given them a chance. Since Cai Ning wasn't confident in himself, he wouldn't regret it later.1

"Cough."

He coughed. He looked at the crowd of disciples in front of him and smiled.

"Stop standing. Sit. I am about the same age as everyone else. Just treat it as a conversation between friends."

As he spoke, he glanced at Cao Cheng, who was tightly clenching his body, and sneered in disdain.

Wasn't it just a slap in the mouth, a bluff, and a diversion? In front of him, the person surnamed Cao wasn't even a disciple or disciple.

When the disciples below heard this, they looked left and right. Then, they sat on the ground and thought that the rumored person was even less arrogant than they had imagined.

This immediately made them relax.

However, Mo Nan's good intentions had come to an end.

"It's rare that everyone still remembers me. To be honest, I feel guilty."

"However, what do you have to say?" old rascal's expression suddenly turned cold. "You all are willing to let me be the dean, but I am not willing to have disciples like you."

"I am afraid that it will be embarrassing if word gets out."

A stone could stir up thousands of waves.

The disciples who were laughing earlier were stunned. A moment later, their faces turned red as they glared at him in embarrassment.
