"No need."
"Just assign me any teaching position; let me teach the same class as him."
Leng Hanyuan gestured toward Wu Zhangkong.
Yu Zhen did not refuse, nodding repeatedly in agreement.
"No problem."
As long as they didn't want his position as dean, he could agree to anything.
In truth, if they really wanted his position as dean, there was nothing he could do about it anyway.
Upon hearing his words, Wu Zhangkong cast a surprised glance at Leng Hanyuan.
If he didn't have a bit of self-awareness, he would have truly thought this Grand Elder of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda was here specifically for him.
Meanwhile.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were following Wu Zhangkong's instructions and running around the playground while wearing iron vests made of chains, also noticed the scene.
"What's the situation?"
"Who is that young man?"
"Why does our dean look so respectful toward him?"
Xie Xie leaned in toward Tang Wulin, lowering his voice to ask, full of gossip.
"I don't know."
Tang Wulin shook his head.
Although he was running in an iron vest, the Golden Dragon King bloodline had significantly enhanced his physical fitness.
Tang Wulin did not appear to be struggling much at the moment.
He spoke quite fluently as well.
He was also very curious.
What kind of background could that young man, who looked to be only in his early twenties, possibly have?
To make their dean act so respectful and deferential.
Even their teacher Wu Zhangkong, who was usually reticent and as cold as an iceberg, seemed to have an unusual attitude toward him.
After completing the running training goal set by Wu Zhangkong, the two of them walked over.
By this time, Yu Zhen had already left.
Only Leng Hanyuan and the other two remained.
Xie Xie asked with a grin:
"Teacher Wu, who is this big brother?"
After all, Xie Xie was still just a child, unable to hide his thoughts.
His curiosity was practically written all over his face.
Wu Zhangkong kept his face as cold as ever, introducing him concisely:
"This is Leng Hanyuan, Grand Elder of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, and he will be a teacher for our class from now on."
"He will be teaching you alongside me."
Grand Elder of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda?!
Tang Wulin and his companion gasped in shock almost simultaneously.
They had heard of this position.
For some time now, the seniors at the academy had been discussing this newly created position at the Spirit Transmission Pagoda with great fervor.
Especially Xie Xie.
His personality was naturally inclined toward gossip.
He also had some connections and channels at home.
Therefore, he had long since inquired clearly about what this newly established position meant within the Spirit Transmission Pagoda.
While Tang Wulin was not interested in such gossip, he had gained some understanding through his conversations with Xie Xie.
An existence on the same level as the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda.
This was a big shot far beyond their reach!
An existence that could truly be said to stand at the pinnacle of power on the entire continent!
Both Tang Wulin and Xie Xie felt as if they were in a dream.
Clearly, they had not expected a figure of this level to come to East Sea Academy to teach, let alone become a teacher for their class.
For a moment, both of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the radiance emanating from Leng Hanyuan.
Facing such a formidable figure, he truly felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Leng Hanyuan curled his lips, watching these two members of the original protagonist group.
Especially Tang Wulin, the protagonist of the original story.
The Ice Emperor's voice resonated within his spiritual sea:
"Is this the son of Tang San you mentioned, the one who possesses the Golden Dragon King bloodline?"
As the beings closest to Leng Hanyuan, the Two Emperors of Ice and Snow were privy to his secrets.
Leng Hanyuan had not kept anything regarding Tang Wulin from them.
Thus, the two of them quickly deduced his identity through the way Leng Hanyuan looked at him.
"Mm."
Leng Hanyuan responded to the Ice Emperor in his spiritual sea.
"He doesn't look much like that fellow Tang San, does he?"
"He doesn't feel as insidious as Tang San."
The Ice Emperor muttered.
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Ever since Tang Wulin was born, he was tossed into the lower realm by Tang San and was never raised by him."
"He has always been raised by his adoptive parents in this world, so naturally, he is different from that guy."
Leng Hanyuan rolled his eyes in his heart.
The current Tang Wulin was like a blank sheet of paper, not yet stained by the ink of the Tang God King.
At this moment, an interesting idea popped into the Ice Emperor's mind.
She suggested with great interest:
"What do you say we try teaching him properly?"
"Cultivating a set of values completely different from Tang San's."
"When Tang San returns and sees that his own son doesn't approve of his methods, I imagine his expression would be quite amusing, wouldn't it?"
The Ice Emperor chuckled sinisterly.
Clearly, she held a significant grudge against Tang San, who had disregarded the rules of the God Realm and forced them to wait ten thousand years to initiate their grand plan.
"I think Bing'er is right."
The Snow Emperor spoke up calmly as well.
It was evident that even the usually detached Ice and Snow Maiden harbored resentment.
"Hmm..."
Leng Hanyuan pondered for a moment before giving his reply.
"We can try."
The Ice Emperor's proposal was indeed excellent.
Tang Wulin had not yet been influenced by Tang San.
If they guided him deliberately, creating a scene of "filial piety" in the future was not out of the question.
Thinking about it, the look on Tang San's face when his own son turned against him would surely be interesting, right?
Moreover, there was plenty of room to maneuver.
After all, many of the things Tang San had done could not withstand scrutiny.
Most were driven by his own interests rather than the duties of a father.
For instance, splitting the soul of his daughter Tang Wutong ten thousand years ago to bind the then-Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao, to the Tang family's ship.
And then there was Tang Wulin...
The Golden Dragon King bloodline within his body appeared to be the result of the Golden Dragon King's revenge against Tang San during that God Realm accident.
But was that really the case?
Was it not actually a deliberate act by Tang San to scheme for the Golden Dragon King's power?
Could Tang San, who was capable of calculating even the God of Destruction, truly have failed to account for a Golden Dragon King that had been sealed in the God Realm for so long and possessed little rationality?
Because of the Golden Dragon King bloodline in his body, Tang Wulin could not remain in the God Realm, which was filled with immortal energy, and was thus cast down to the lower realm.
And it just so happened that ten thousand years ago, Tang San had already set his sights on scheming against the Abyss Plane to strengthen the Douluo Plane.
Under the guise of taking care of Tang Wulin, he had his own father and mother sent down from the God Realm.
Along with the divine beasts, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python.
And it just so happened that he had his mother, Ah Yin, take control of the Tree of Life on the Douluo Plane, while his father, Tang Hao, seized the position of Plane Master.
That was far too coincidental, wasn't it?
Was it truly out of consideration for his own biological son, or was he merely treating his son as a tool to turn the Douluo Plane into his own private backyard?
All of this was well worth scrutinizing.
Therefore, Leng Hanyuan was actually quite confident that he could turn Tang Wulin and Tang San against each other, setting the stage for a grand performance of "filial piety and paternal love" later on.
"Hehehe..."
At the thought of this, the three figures within the sea of consciousness all laughed out loud in unison.
