Chapter 123 Only despicable people need to take pride in defeating others.
Lu Mingfei spoke calmly, as if stating a trivial fact.
But these words struck the master like a thunderbolt.
Anger, resentment, and all sorts of negative emotions instantly assaulted the master's brain. His neck was stiff, and veins bulged on his zombie-like face.
"Lu Mingfei, you're too arrogant!"
Even when he was abandoned and expelled from Wuhun City by Bibi Dong, he never felt as humiliated as he did today.
He regarded Tang San as his own son, and he would prove that Tang San's theories would wash away all his humiliations in the future. Lu Mingfei's words were tantamount to trampling on his life's hopes and efforts.
"If Master thinks I'm talking nonsense, then why did you turn around and look at Tang San just now?" Lu Mingfei retorted. He was truly disgusted by Master's shameless face. If he didn't teach him a lesson, it would never end next time.
The master was stunned. He had indeed turned around to look at Tang San immediately and was relieved to see that Tang San had been helped away by Xiao Wu. If Tang San had heard Lu Mingfei's words, he would definitely not have been able to accept the blow.
"That's enough, Xiao Gang." Flander, who had stayed behind to cover the rear, couldn't help but get angry. Even if his little monsters were not as good as Lu Mingfei, he couldn't accept them being humiliated.
But this was the Royal Academy, and there were three Soul Douluos and a Title Douluo in front of him. Even if he was angry, there was nothing he could do: "Three members of the Academic Committee, we will take our leave now."
"Lu Mingfei, stop talking." Qin Ming said with difficulty. He never expected that Lu Mingfei, who usually seemed to have the best temper, would clash with the master.
Flander stepped forward and grabbed the master's shoulder, trying to stop him from saying something, but was immediately thrown off by the master.
Grandmaster gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. He could not accept that Tang San would be so easily humiliated: "Lu Mingfei, you are indeed strong now, but I believe that Xiao Yin will be stronger than you one day. At that time, I hope you will remember what I said today: strength is not determined by a few nice words."
Grandmaster glared angrily and uttered harsh words. Tang San's twin martial souls were Grandmaster's greatest confidence, and the power of the Clear Sky Hammer was absolutely invincible.
"You'd better say that to yourself." Lu Mingfei had originally wanted to give Qin Ming some face, but now it seemed unnecessary: "It's because you always say things like that that you've set a bad example for him."
"Monster, genius, that's what you've labeled him, preventing him from facing his own shortcomings. A strong person isn't defined by how many enemies they've defeated, but by their ability to constantly overcome themselves."
"Only despicable people need to take pride in defeating others."
Lu Mingfei's voice was calm, yet it was resounding and powerful.
Everyone was stunned. No one could help but show their appreciation for such words. Even the eccentric Dugu Bo nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, the master felt a crimson glow before his eyes, a sweet, metallic smell surged in his chest, his mind went blank, and he staggered back a few steps.
"Xiao Gang!" Flander quickly helped his old friend up. He never imagined that his old friend, who was known as the "Wisdom Corner," would be talked to the point of vomiting blood by a child.
"No? You're not trying to scam me, are you? Where's your thick skin? How come you suddenly turned into a Grand Commander?" Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but complain.
After all, the master was a figure of some importance, so how did he suddenly collapse before he even exerted any effort?
For someone as experienced and shameless as the Master, Lu Mingfei knew that only by striking at his weaknesses could he effectively strike.
Tang San was clearly this sore spot, and nothing could infuriate him more than being accused of corrupting Tang San.
As a member of the literary club who has watched countless hot-blooded anime, Lu Mingfei can easily spout some chuunibyou (delusional) lines.
However, he did not expect that the master would be so narrow-minded, which actually made him furious.
"Qin Ming, you should take Dean Flander and the master to the infirmary right away," Meng Shenji quickly said.
They were guests invited by Emperor Xueye, and it's one thing if they couldn't stay, but if two of them walked out sideways, people who didn't know better would think that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was bullying them.
Qin Ming nodded immediately: "Teacher Flander, please come with me. We can also check on the situation for Xiao San and the others."
Flander nodded at Qin Ming with a complicated expression. Not only were they inferior in skill, but they had also lost miserably in terms of ideology. He was speechless.
After Flander and the master fled in disarray, the three committee members glanced at Lu Mingfei, feeling both helpless and delighted.
"I'm sorry, three education committee members, I messed things up today." Lu Mingfei actually felt that he had let the three education committee members down with his performance today. However, even if he hadn't been there today, he would still have fallen out with the masters and the others in the future.
"That master was just trying to bully us, so how could we let you suffer?"
Bai Baoshan stepped forward and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, telling him not to feel any pressure.
They were initially quite looking forward to Shrek Academy joining them, but it was obvious that the master had ill intentions towards Lu Mingfei, and they didn't welcome such a person with wicked intentions.
However, they now need to figure out how to explain this to Emperor Xueye.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you have both witnessed what happened today. Please report the truth to His Majesty. It was our Education Committee members who failed in their duties." Meng Shenji bowed sincerely. As the main person in charge of this matter, they were responsible for it.
As for Lu Mingfei, he was just doing what he was supposed to do. How can you blame him for being petty?
"The three committee members are too kind. Qinghe will report the situation today truthfully. It is not that our Royal Academy is intolerant, but that Shrek Academy does not know its place and has gone too far." Xue Qinghe immediately stood up and comforted the three committee members.
"I and Mr. Dugu Bo have witnessed this today, and we will speak the truth." Xue Xing, unusually, did not contradict Qinghe. He had not expected that the so-called Shrek Academy was actually of such a low level.
Speaking up for Shrek Academy would mean offending Lu Mingfei, so he wouldn't dare do something so foolish.
Although the incident of Lu Mingfei's attack last time was not made public, he was extremely wary of Lu Mingfei and only wanted to maintain the current situation to prevent Lu Mingfei from having any thoughts of revenge.
"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Meng Shenji and the other two bowed slightly.
Xue Xing waved and left with Dugu Bo. Soon after, Xue Qinghe and Lu Mingfei also took their leave.
"What a good child."
Watching Lu Mingfei's departing figure, the three of them felt more relieved than troubled. Shrek Academy was gone, but with Lu Mingfei around, they didn't care about a few extra coins.
