Chapter 262: Do Your Best and Leave It to Fate

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When they heard that Tian Gang wanted to resign, everyone present was stunned.

After nearly ten seconds, Huang Tingwei reacted and frowned suspiciously.

“You’re resigning? What’s the reason?”

“Because I’m not worthy of being a teacher.”

Tian Gang looked at Wang Xiao and smiled bitterly with a lonely expression. “It’s because of my ego. Not only did I make a huge mistake, but I also made my students worry for me. What right do people like me have to teach them?”

“Teacher Tian! It’s not like that!”

Zhou Xiruo hurriedly said, “This wasn’t your intention. You were just used by bad people!”

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xiao also said, “Teacher Tian, although you haven’t admitted it, we all know that you rejected our help previously because you didn’t want to implicate us in danger, right?”

Tian Gang lowered his head and did not speak, as if he did not hear the two of them at all. However, when Wang Xiao exposed his thoughts, he still frowned slightly.

Huang Tingwei saw this small change and immediately had an idea. His expression darkened as he said, “I’ll approve your resignation application.”

“What?!”

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo exclaimed at the same time. They wanted to plead for Tian Gang again, but they were glared at by Huang Tingwei.

Tian Gang’s wish was fulfilled, and his expression became even more desolate. He was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, “Thank you, Academy

Head.”

“Don’t thank me so quickly. I’m not done yet.”

Huang Tingwei waved his hand and frowned, revealing a difficult expression. “The academy’s ranking assessment is about to begin. At this juncture, I can’t find any other teachers, so hold on for a few more days. Just treat it as helping me!”

Tian Gang’s expression changed. “Academy Head, I…”

“It’s settled then!”

Huang Tingwei waved his hand and did not give Tian Gang a chance to refuse at all. “I guarantee that after the academy’s ranking assessment ends, I’ll immediately let you pack up and leave!”

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other. Although they did not know what was going on, Tian Gang did not seem to be leaving for the time being. Why did these words sound so strange?

“That… Xiao Zhou!”

Suddenly, Zhou Xiruo came back to her senses and hurriedly replied, “Academy Head! What instructions do you have?”

“Send Teacher Tian to the infirmary.”

Huang Tingwei pointed at Tian Gang and then at Wang Xiao, who was about to help. “Stay behind. I have something to tell you.”

Wang Xiao was stunned. He did not know why the Academy Head was looking for him. In this moment of distraction, Zhou Xiruo had already helped Tian Gang to the infirmary.

After the two of them walked a little further, Huang Tingwei asked, “The academy’s ranking assessment is about to begin. Are you confident that our Yuheng Academy can surpass Kaiyang?

Wang Xiao smiled bitterly. “Academy Head, I used to be from the Kaiyang

Academy. Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you to ask this?” Huang Tingwei said with interest, “Oh? Tell me, how is it inappropriate?”

Wang Xiao sighed softly. “If I say that I’m confident, it seems to be disregarding my old relationship with them a little. If I say that I’m not confident, I’m afraid that you’ll think that I’m being a traitor. Therefore, I can only say that I’ll do my best and leave it to fate!”

“Haha! What a good phrase!”

Huang Tingwei laughed and did not respond. Then, he suddenly changed the topic. “How’s the [Blazing Golden Crow] now?”

“You know about the [Blazing Golden Crow]?”

Wang Xiao looked at Huang Tingwei in surprise, but he immediately reacted.

The [Scorching Purgatory] was a secret realm personally brought back by

Huang Tingwei. How could he not know what mutated beasts were inside?

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao did not hide anything anymore and said honestly,

“I’ve already made a breakthrough for it. It’s now at level one platinum, but…’

Wang Xiao suddenly paused halfway. It was not that he wanted to hide it, but he did not know how to describe it.

Just as Wang Xiao was thinking about the adjective, Huang Tingwei suddenly added, “It’s just that it’s a little afraid of death, right?”

“You even know this?”

Wang Xiao’s eyes instantly widened. He was really surprised this time!

After a few seconds, Wang Xiao composed himself and said, “But I keep feeling that it’s not just ‘afraid of death’. Not only does the [Blazing Golden Crow] dodge when facing powerful opponents, but it also wants to dodge when facing opponents whose level and strength are inferior to it.”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiao recalled the battle with Fang Tianyu and the others previously. “The strangest thing is that if I really need its strength in battle, not only will it not avoid me, but it will also complete its task very well…

It’s as if it’s a different being.” Huang Tingwei asked again, “Oh? What’s going on?”

“You don’t know either?”

Wang Xiao looked at Huang Tingwei suspiciously. “When you suddenly mentioned the [Blazing Golden Crow], I thought you knew this mutated beast very well!”

“I’m not a beast tamer lord. How can I know about mutated beasts?”

Huang Tingwei sneered and patted Wang Xiao’s shoulder. “Go back and prepare well. I look forward to your performance in the academy’s ranking assessment!”

With that said, Huang Tingwei turned around and walked towards the office building. Wang Xiao hesitated for a moment before shouting, “Academy Head!

Please wait!”

Huang Tingwei stood still and looked at Wang Xiao. ‘What’s the matter?”

“I’m fine. It’s Teacher Tian.”

Wang Xiao took a few steps closer and probed with a serious expression, “Will you really let Teacher Tian leave after the academy’s ranking assessment?”

Huang Tingwei did not answer. He only narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Xiao. All the subtle expressions on his face slowly disappeared. Coupled with his original appearance, he immediately gave off a chilling feeling.

Wang Xiao was a little frightened by Huang Tingwei’s stare. He swallowed and probed, “Academy Head, why are you looking at me? Did I say something wrong?”

“I want to see if you’re the real Wang Xiao.”

Huang Tingwei replied expressionlessly and coldly, “Aren’t you usually quite smart? Why did you ask such an idiotic question?”

Wang Xiao was stunned by the scolding. Huang Tingwei narrowed his eyes and said faintly, “If I agreed to his resignation, I would have let him leave just now. Do you really think I can’t find another teacher?”

“Then whil did      ill<t ”

Wang Xiao suddenly reacted halfway and could not help but give Huang Tingwei a thumbs up. “This is such a smart method! Do you want to use us students to convince him to stay through these few days of interaction?”

“That’s only one of the reasons. The second reason is to give him some time to calm down.”

Huang Tingwei took the opportunity to explain. Since Wang Xiao understood his arrangements, a smile appeared on his face again. “However, this is only a stalling tactic. Whether Teacher Tian will stay in the end depends on what you

“

“Understood!”

Wang Xiao chuckled and pretended to salute Huang Tingwei. “Academy Head, don’t worry! I promise to complete the mission!”

“Get lost! ”

Huang Tingwei smiled and waved his hand. As he watched Wang Xiao turn around and leave, the smile on his face slowly disappeared and turned into an

unknown solemnity..
