Chapter 283: Dean Tang Qing
The first round of the Green Talent List had ended, and the second was scheduled for a week later. Upon returning to his small courtyard at Yanhuang Academy, Lin Yun didn’t find the Crown Prince and the other two. Instead, he came face-to-face with someone completely unexpected.
The Headmaster of Yanhuang Academy, who was also the paternal uncle of Yanhuang Country’s current ruler, His Holiness. His cultivation had long reached the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. Rumor had it that he was the single strongest person in all of Yanhuang Country.
At that moment, Elder Bai was also standing beside the Headmaster. His gaze toward Lin Yun held a hint of resignation; it seemed that even Elder Bai was powerless before the Headmaster.
Lin Yun was briefly stunned, not having expected the Headmaster himself to come looking for him, but he quickly regained his composure. Things had already reached this point; he would just have to deal with whatever came his way.
"Lin Yun, come inside with me," the Headmaster said lightly before turning and walking into his room.
Not worried in the least that Lin Yun wouldn’t follow, the Headmaster sat down calmly. After Lin Yun and Elder Bai had taken their seats, the Headmaster slowly began to speak.
"To think that the most outstanding student of my Yanhuang Academy would turn out to be a wanted criminal of the Royal Family."
Hearing this, Lin Yun remained silent. He didn’t even look at the Headmaster, simply sitting there with calm indifference, taking a small sip of tea.
"My name is Tang Qing," he began. "Yanhuang Academy was founded for the purpose of cultivating talent. For hundreds of years, the vast majority of Yanhuang Academy’s students have become pillars of the nation."
"To a large extent, Yanhuang Academy is the cradle where the Royal Family nurtures its talent. So, Lin Yun, do you understand? You have offended the Royal Family. Even if I wanted to protect you, it would be impossible."
