Chapter 12987
Lin Yi sat down, took a sip of hot tea, and casually asked, "Have you been busy these past few days?"
Zhang Baiyu replied, "Nothing major has happened, but there is one piece of news that everyone is discussing."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "What news?"
Given Zhang Baiyu's personality, he naturally wouldn't tell him any pointless gossip. Since he singled it out, it must have something special about it.
Zhang Baiyu said with a hint of sorrow, "Yuan Chu is in trouble."
Lin Yi was taken aback: "Yuan Chu? What happened to him?"
Zhang Baiyu replied, "Ever since the last auction for the Main Mystic Realm entrance tickets, he has completely fallen out of favor with the Beast God Academy."
Lin Yi wasn't surprised: "That's normal."
From the perspective of the Beast God Academy, the reason they recruited Yuan Chu was because he was a local of Tianjun, and they wanted to use him to gain an advantage in the upcoming battle for the main god's opportunity.
However, because of Lin Yi's presence, Yuan Chu suffered setbacks time and time again.
From beginning to end, not only did they not gain any advantage, but they also suffered considerable losses.
Including the last ticket auction, although the Beast God Academy did obtain the main mystery realm entrance ticket, it originally belonged to them, but in the end they still lost a batch of chips for nothing.
Given the wealth and power of the Beast God Academy, they might not care about such a small loss, but Yuan Chu can't escape the blame for his poor performance.
Zhang Baiyu continued, "This time, the Beast God Academy has sent a new person in charge, Elder Li Tianxing, who said that he will be in full charge of all matters."
Lin Yi's eyelids twitched: "Then what's the arrangement for Yuan Chu? Has he been completely marginalized?"
"It's not just about being marginalized."
Zhang Baiyu said in a strange tone, "This Elder Li Tianxing just arrived in Tianjun yesterday and went straight to the Yuan family. In front of hundreds of people, he slapped Yuan Chu across the face."
"That's not all. They even called Yuan Chu a good-for-nothing to his face, saying that he hadn't achieved anything in all this time and that he was definitely colluding with outsiders to line his own pockets. They said they would take Yuan Chu down and bring him to justice."
Lin Yi frowned: "What did Yuan Chu say?"
Zhang Baiyu sighed: "Some busybody took a picture of the latter part with a recording stone. You can take a look for yourself, sir."
The scene unfolds.
Yuan Chu stood in the center with his head down, his cheeks swollen high.
A burly middle-aged man covered in scars slapped him across the face with both hands, each blow powerful and heavy. If it were an ordinary person, their brains would have been splattered out.
Yuan Chu endured the blows without making the slightest move to resist.
Lin Yi shook his head: "This doesn't seem like the Yuan Chu I know."
Based on his understanding of Yuan Chu, this top second-generation heir of Tianjun was born with great ambition and arrogance.
Even though he had suffered so many defeats at my hands before, he showed no sign of discouragement. On the contrary, he fought on despite repeated defeats.
No matter when or where, Yuan Chu always displayed an air of complete control.
In contrast, Yuan Chu in the picture has lost all his spirit and energy, and has become a helpless and insignificant person, completely lost in the crowd.
At this moment, the camera shifts.
In the picture, a middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes stands in the center.
At first glance, he appears imposing and has the bearing of a dragon among men.
But Lin Yi felt a sense of disharmony.
I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong with it.
Zhang Baiyu said from the side, "This person is Li Tianxing, the new elder of the Beast God Academy."
"stop."
As soon as Li Tianxing spoke, the middle-aged man, who had just been looking ferocious, immediately stepped aside respectfully.
"They are, after all, disciples of our Beast God Academy. They have worked hard for so many days. Even if they have not made any great contributions, they have certainly put in the effort."
As Li Tianxing spoke, he slowly walked up to Yuan Chu and raised his hand as if to pat him on the shoulder.
Yuan Chu subconsciously looked up.
The next second, Li Tianxing's hand suddenly changed direction in mid-air and slapped Yuan Chu across the face.
The force was so great that Yuan Chu was sent flying diagonally, crashing into and collapsing two walls.
The corner of his mouth, which had just been swollen, was completely split open by this slap, revealing a shockingly large gash.
Blood flowed down his chin and onto the ground.
Li Tianxing shook his hand and glanced at the middle-aged man from before: "That's how you hit someone. The way you were hitting him just now was like swatting a mosquito."
The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Elder Li is right."
Li Tianxing's gaze returned to Yuan Chu, and he approached step by step: "On your first day at the Beast God Academy, I said you were a piece of trash."
“Those idiots don’t believe it. They naively think that with your family’s influence in Tianjun, you can help us succeed.”
"I didn't expect you to actually be so promising. I told you you were hopeless, and you really are a complete failure. You're good for nothing, the number one piece of trash."
Yuan Chu struggled to his feet, neither wiping away the blood nor uttering a sound.
Li Tianxing reached out and patted his face: "What, you're not convinced?"
He immediately got into a fighting stance, ready to slap him again.
At this moment, an elderly man in his fifties rushed out from the crowd. He was Yuan Boxi, the current head of the Yuan family and the biological father of Yuan Chu.
"Let go of my son!"
Just as Yuan Boxi rushed in front of him, Li Tianxing slapped him across the face.
Yuan Boxi was sent flying backward, crashing hard into the stone lions of the Yuan family ancestral hall, a hundred meters away.
A muffled thud.
The stone lion, which was twice the height of a person, shattered into pieces on the spot.
Yuan Boxi collapsed amidst the rubble, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Seeing their patriarch in such a miserable state, everyone in the Yuan family lowered their heads, trembling, and dared not show any further intention of stepping forward.
Li Tianxing shook his hand and curled his lip, saying, "What kind of Yuan family is this Tianjun? A pile of trash."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Boxi was so angry that he coughed up another mouthful of blood. His face turned ashen, and his aura visibly weakened rapidly.
Given the Yuan family's status in Tianjun, even if they weren't at their zenith, they were definitely a top-tier giant.
As the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Boxi was naturally full of vigor and ambition.
However, ever since Yuan Chu returned and suffered repeated setbacks at Lin Yi's hands, the Yuan family's status has plummeted.
Today, it has become a plague that everyone avoids like the plague.
Given Lin Yi's current control over Tianjun, anyone who wants to stand against him should think twice.
With the Yuan family's size alone, they couldn't possibly shake Lin Yi in the slightest.
That's why Lin Yi didn't make a move.
If he had said just one thing, the Yuan family wouldn't be alive today.
It's already an act of mercy from Lin Yi that we've managed to survive until now.
Under these circumstances, who would be so foolish as to provoke the Yuan family?
Wouldn't that be cutting oneself off from Tianjun? (End of Chapter)
