Lu Chen knew nothing of Yu Xiaogang's desire for revenge. Even if he had known, he probably would only have laughed and remarked:
Gangzi was fantasizing again~
Of course, this was partly because Ning Rongrong and Lu Chen had specifically told Wu Fang not to reveal their identities to Gangzi.
In Gangzi's eyes, Lu Chen and Ning Rongrong were merely two local powers with a little influence in a remote city. As the biological son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Leader, he probably genuinely looked down on them.
After all, his two friends, Flender and Liu Erlong, alone could easily slaughter Nuoding City.
Early the next morning, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, whose face was still somewhat pale, embarked on their destined journey.
Inside Nuoding Academy's assembly hall, the entrance ceremony had already begun.
On the left side of the elevated ceremonial stage stood Wu Fang, wearing formal attire custom-made by Spirit Hall exclusively for a Soul Ancestor. Behind him stood the teachers of Nuoding Academy, led by Director Su.
On the right stood Nuoding City's city lord, Xiao Lang, and the city's senior officials.
Yet at that moment, not one of these authorities who normally stood high above others dared make a sound. Everyone, including Headmaster Wu Fang and City Lord Xiao Lang, gazed toward the very front of the stage with reverence and excitement.
Standing there was a middle-aged man in simple white robes. His name was Lu Tian!
"Wait, what's Second Grandpa doing?"
Watching Lu Tian, who had already begun holding forth at the lectern, Lu Chen could not help rolling his eyes. He had never heard him mention giving a speech at the entrance ceremony.
"Hehe, Grandpa Lu Tian said he wanted to surprise you, so he told us to keep it from you."
