"Ha ha, your eyes are sharp indeed." The white-robed elder laughed. "You recognized me at a glance."
"Who in Xia Country does not know of your appearance, Senior?" Li Yuan replied with a respectful smile.
This respect came from the bottom of his heart.
In terms of strength, Dongfang Ji was naturally stronger, the undisputed number one of Human Civilization.
But within Xia Country, speaking only of prestige, the old man before him was likely held in even higher regard.
That was accumulated through the passage of time, not something mere strength could suppress.
"Li Yuan, using you as bait to set this killing trap—you should have no objections, right?" The man in black said calmly, looking at Li Yuan.
His gaze was tranquil.
"I have none. It was what needed to be done." Li Yuan's tone was firm. "I trust the Principal's judgment."
The education he had received since childhood had long given Li Yuan such awareness... Looking at the bigger picture, students of Martial Arts University were themselves reserve soldiers.
"Even if you trust us, this matter still carried some risk for you. After all, that was a formidable Feitian-tier assassin." Star Lord Baishan smiled. "Of course, your Principal truly is remarkable. In certain respects, he far surpasses the Feitian Tier."
"In the end, the result was good as well." Star Lord Baishan said with a smile.
Li Yuan nodded slightly, unable to stop himself from asking, "Principal, Senior Baishan, I heard Dean Hai say earlier... that the one who died was the avatar of that 'Shadow,' right?"
"His true body had already been found and killed by me," Principal Fang Hai said calmly.
Li Yuan was secretly startled, and his curiosity about the Principal grew even stronger.
He was that formidable?
"Li Yuan, don't be too surprised."
