Lu Chuan had no idea at all.
For his sake, Wu Zhangkong had spent the entire night rushing about, charging from the mecha corps to the city lord's residence, then from the city lord's residence to the prison. She had only just caught her breath after the exhausting journey.
Hearing Lu Chuan's words, Wu Zhangkong slowly walked up to him.
Her gaze swept over him indifferently.
Only after confirming that he was completely unharmed and had not suffered any mistreatment
did she speak coldly.
There was a deliberate distance in her tone, yet it could not conceal the concern hidden within her words:
"Did you think I wanted to come?"
"You are currently the only student at Eastsea Academy whom I personally teach and personally lead.
If you caused such a huge commotion, landed yourself in prison, and I still stood by without doing anything, what would become of my reputation, Wu Zhangkong's reputation, if word got out?"
Of course, Lu Chuan heard the concern in Wu Zhangkong's words. He grinned and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Teacher Wu. I'll treat you to a meal sometime!"
At that, Wu Zhangkong rolled her beautiful eyes.
"Who wants you to treat them to a meal?"
Yet the corners of her lips lifted ever so slightly.
Tang Wuyue, who had also arrived early to pick up Lu Chuan, took in that scene completely.
While Mu Chen and Wu Zhangkong were talking, during a moment when no one was paying attention, Tang Wuyue immediately slipped quietly over to Lu Chuan's side.
Standing on tiptoe, she lowered her voice and whispered into Lu Chuan's ear:
"Big Brother! Bend down a little, I want to tell you a secret!"
Lu Chuan bent down accordingly and asked curiously, "What secret?"
"Last night, we ran into Teacher Wu.
