Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1713: Chapter 1693:

”You smelly Laoqi, get up!!!”

”Smelly Laoliu, this is my meat!!!”

”Move your thigh, it’s blocking me from eating meat!!!”

A series of shouting and yelling echoed in the dean’s office, as if these seven elderly gentlemen were fighting to the death.

If there weren’t a soundproof barrier, it would probably have drawn complaints... that is, if anyone actually complained.

But soon enough, with great tacit understanding, only the sound of chewing remained, as if talking was a waste of time.

After a long time, the room was filled with satisfied sounds.

”Laoqi, that’s not fair! We were once comrades through life and death, and now when good things come your way, you don’t think of us?” A young man said while picking his teeth, looking displeased: ”We help you with the paperwork, and you just busy yourself with hogging all for yourself?”

”Laoer is right, Laoqi, you’re really unfair. If Boss hadn’t gone out to find you, when would we have known?” An old man with a grizzled beard also showed his displeasure.

Hearing this, He Wenyu’s teacher, Laoqi, immediately retorted with dissatisfaction, ”If it weren’t for you guys idling around, always keeping an eye on me and complaining to Boss, would he have come over?”

Laoer snickered awkwardly; after all, his youthful appearance was because he rarely needed to meet outsiders. No need to learn from the other gentlemen to boost his authority.

”But Laoer was worried about you. With your temperament, there’s no telling when you might end up dead from testing elixirs on yourself.”

”Especially considering you’ve been surpassed by your two students. One is a Medical God, the other a Poison Saint, yet you as their teacher remain unknown.”

”The irony is that the excellent elixirs you possess were also refined by your students.”

”... Ahem.” The dean had to step in and stop the roasting, fearing that Laoqi would get embarrassed and angry, and refuse to bring food over again?

However, he had to admit this was indeed the truth... having exceptional students, who outshine their teachers, evokes mixed emotions!

But this was partly due to talent, thinking that if they hadn’t accidentally ended up in that place back in the days, they might not have been as good as the students in the academy now?

A large reason for establishing the academy was to give back to that place.

Laoqi was also upset, feeling these people were being opportunistic and petulant!

”You all should find students as excellent then! If you can’t, shut your mouths, I’m happy being a nameless teacher, so there!”

The group had no words to counter.

After all, they really didn’t have any...

”Ahem, let’s discuss something serious now, Laoqi.” The dean had no choice but to take control: ”What do you think of them?”

”If they’re not good, are there better alternatives? At least I like eating what they make.” Laoqi smirked disdainfully: ”By the way, the bear you kept in the inner area, I beat it and ate it, that’s what you’ve just eaten.”

”!!!” The dean was speechless!!!

This guy is ridiculously anger-inducing, isn’t he? Is it even fair? Although he did eat quite a portion, the bear was meant for student trials...

”Laoer, go catch another one to make up for it later.” The dean remained humane, after all, the bear had already been eaten, and Laoqi needed to teach those two girls and couldn’t leave casually, so he had to send the most idle person.

Laoer rolled his eyes hearing this but then squinted with a gleam in his eye.

Laoqi immediately sensed something wrong.

You know what kind of people are the hardest to deal with? Those who squint all the time!

Unfortunately, Laoer not only squints but whenever he does, it means someone is about to be schemed against!

Undoubtedly, the one caught in the scheme now is him!

Instantly, he felt the machinations of Boss...

Wasn’t it just a bear he ate? Most of it ended up in your stomach, didn’t it? Yet still scheming against him?

When Laoer goes out, isn’t it... constantly coming by to mooch food? Under the pretext of not finding a suitable replacement...

It must be said, these seven people are indeed long-standing brothers, close friends, knowing one another very well...

Just as Laoqi was pondering how he might find a suitable replacement to remedy this mishap, Laoer casually remarked: ”Coincidentally, I have many theories that need practice...”

Laoer managed the area above the second layer of Book Garden; aside from the first layer accessible to regular students, he was in charge of the rest, generally speaking, he was of the Scholar School.

But because the original theory successfully brought the seven of them into that place, they all deeply trusted Laoer’s research over the years.

Though he couldn’t claim to have thoroughly researched those books, he had at least studied them superficially.

While not highly skilled in power, the academy’s system of suppressing and reducing strength, as well as the Arena combat mode, was all his creation.

Therefore, even if he didn’t show up openly, his legend remained within the academy.

”So, Laoqi, I will be bothering you recently.” Laoer said leisurely, paying no heed to Laoqi’s angry response, instead smiling with delight.

The red-haired, red-bearded old man mumbled in realization: ”As expected, your eating so little was part of the calculation from the start, wasn’t it?”

”Laoliu, you should speak more carefully, maybe it’s just because I’m young and need to ensure my health.” Laoer spoke slowly, without a hint of guilt at being exposed.

The dean also felt helpless, after all... Laoer had been secluded for so long, it was about time he went out for a breather.

Everyone was speechless, yet chose not to argue.

They were not blood brothers, yet closer than siblings, and their care for each other was indisputable.

”Don’t forget to bring us some food back often, we can’t show up frequently, it’s really frustrating.” Laoliu grumbled.

After all... they all had their respective duties, even if free time were available, nowhere near as flexible as Laoer and Laoqi.

However, when Laoer secluded himself, he vanished without word for ages, and they resigned to it.

Laoqi, always discovering exceptional students, made it impossible to tolerate... unbearable indeed...

”Speaking of... Boss, why is that person’s granddaughter coming this year?”

Laoqi furrowed his brow in confusion.

This person was considered the pillar of the academy, having once helped them fend off external invasions, essentially a benefactor. Though without any official position, they were respected and cherished by the seven.
