Vol 2 ch 14: I Won't Leave
“Dean…”
Wu Yunzhou’s eyes glistened with tears.
Lu Ming gently smiled, “This is the dean’s token of authority. Hold onto it. As long as White Rock Academy isn’t implicated, it’s fine. If it ever is, you must publicly expel me without hesitation. Be decisive, without the slightest doubt. The academy can do without me, but it cannot be caught up in this matter.”
Understanding that Lu Ming had made up his mind, Wu Yunzhou knew further persuasion was pointless. He cupped his fists and bowed. “Understood!”
Lu Ming said no more, swiftly exiting the dean’s office.
What exactly was a Chaotic Fate Practitioner? He wasn’t sure. Nor did he know if it applied here. But he did know Zhang Xuan well—steady, unassuming, responsible, and without an ounce of arrogance despite his unparalleled talent. Killing such a person for the sake of ambition would leave a stain on the conscience forever.
This was why when Yu Longqing approached him, Lu Ming had already made up his mind. But to protect White Rock Academy, he could only deny any connection.
Moving swiftly, Lu Ming donned a dark outfit and covered his face as he left the academy.
