Chapter 231 - 232: Monkey Wine Banquet
Watching Deputy Headmaster Ouyang sweeping away with the flick of his sleeve, everyone looked at each other with bewilderment, not having expected such an outcome.
The formidable Deputy Headmaster had shamelessly targeted a junior like this. That wasn’t important; what mattered was he ended up losing to the junior.
Deputy Headmaster Ouyang had certainly taken a fall this time, stumbling because he misjudged Mu Can’s courage, never expecting Mu Can would dare to speak to him in such a manner in front of so many people.
"Be careful in the future, Can’er, this old fellow is no good bird," Xuanyuan Mingkong warned aloud.
"I understand, Master," Mu Can respectfully replied with a bow.
Although Mu Can himself didn’t take old man Ouyang seriously, he couldn’t help but feel touched by his master’s concern.
"Thank you, Elder Ge, for speaking up on my behalf, and thank you, Sword Venerate, for speaking up on my behalf."
Mu Can bowed to Elder Ge and the Sword Venerate; regardless of the reasons they had for speaking on his behalf in that situation, Mu Can wanted to express his thanks.
"He came with me. If he were to make a move against you, where would it leave my face?" Elder Ge waved his hand to indicate that Mu Can should not take it to heart.
Deputy Headmaster Ouyang had come with him, and although their relationship was mediocre, merely a nodding acquaintance, if old man Ouyang really had been foolish enough to attack Mu Can, it would have been an affront to Elder Ge’s dignity. For someone who valued face as much as Elder Ge did, it would have been a direct insult.
"Don’t worry about it, just take the Array books you wanted," Sword Venerate said indifferently, then casually tossed the "Sky Opening" book he held to Mu Can.
