“…..” Xu Que, Mo Junchen, and Liu Jingning were totally embarrassed by Buttface and Duan Jiude’s words, and they were thinking to themselves, “Did they bully honest men? How could Buttface have the nerve to say that? Maybe he misunderstood the meaning of honest men! How could Buttface and Duan Jiude even be considered as being honest? Buttface is not even a man!”

　　“Don’t misunderstand me! I said they bullied someone who was a new friend of Mr. Duan and me. This guy was very nice, honest, and thoughtful! And this honest man was killed when he was providing cover for me and Mr. Duan Jiude!” After saying that, Buttface said as he clenched his teeth angrily, “At that time, I gave my word to him that I would come back to avenge him!”

　　“Mr. Buttface, what you just said is incorrect! At that time, you said you would come back with reinforcements to save him when you were about to run away!” Duan Jiude reminded Buttface.

　　Hearing this, Buttface said, waving his paw, “Don’t dwell on these small details. Anyway, I’ve come back with reinforcements now!”

　　TSK! TSK! TSK! Xu Que couldn’t stop shaking his head after hearing this story, as he thought to himself, “Who was this pathetic honest man? No, I’m afraid he was not an honest man but a fool! I bet he didn’t expect to lose his life when he tried to protect Buttface and Duan Jiude! He was way too honest!”

　　“It was quite urgent at that time. If that young friend hadn’t helped us, I think Buttface would have died. And I am also quite sure that I would definitely have been killed!” Duan Jiude said seriously at this time.

　　Xu Que nodded his head and stopped asking questions. According to the reactions of Buttface and Duan Jiude, they were quite angry and really wanted to do something to make up for that man.

　　Xu Que sighed as he glanced at the apprentices of the Heaven Palace Academy, “This is really unexpected! I didn’t think that some apprentices of our academy would be so lunatic that they could even kill their fellow apprentices! I hope those who were called out just now could step out consciously. Don’t do anything stupid!”

　　However, these apprentices just stared at each other, and nobody stepped out.

　　Some of those who had been called by Buttface and Duan Jiude were here. But they remained indifferent and just stood there with their hands crossed in front of their chests calmly.

　　“F*ck! How dare you disobey the order of the Deputy Dean? Are you going to rebel?” Buttface shouted angrily.

　　Then he turned around and said to Xu Que, as he pointed at three apprentices, “Little…ahem, Xu Que’s father, that’s the three of them! Those who were called out by Duan Jiude are just minions! The three of them are the masterminds!”

　　Xu Que fixed his eyes on those who were being pointed at by Buttface’s paw. He found those three people were looking at him thoughtfully. It seemed they were not afraid of Xu Que at all.

　　At this time, someone sent a silent message to Xu Que. “Deputy Dean, you don’t understand the situation because you have just come to our academy. Bao Jian, Zhang Liyun ,and Lin Huan have extraordinary backgrounds! They are from different Celestial Realms. Their family or sect has entered the top ten in their Celestial Realms respectively. So I suggest you play down this issue!” That was the end of the message.

　　Xu Que discovered the one who had sent the message. It was a woman who was over 30 years old, or even older. She had reached the medium stage of the Heaven Celestial Stage. Her robe was also different than the robes of ordinary apprentices, which meant she could be a teacher or a member of staff in the academy.

　　She reminded Xu Que of what was what by sending the message because she was worried that the Deputy Dean and the Heaven Palace Academy were unable to back down with good grace if this issue became significant.

　　After all, it was just a small issue. Buttface and Duan Jiude were not wounded. After negotiating with the three families, they could ask the three sovereigns to make an apology and some amends. Nobody wanted to see big trouble caused by this small issue.

　　Although the Heaven Palace Academy was quite large, it was not the most powerful sect in this world and it wasn’t able to crush all the rest of the sects. So it didn’t want to make enemies too easily.

　　However, the woman misjudged the situation. If she hadn’t reminded Xu Que, Xu Que would have punished those three people by leaving them to Buttface and Duan Jiude.

　　After being reminded by the woman, Xu Que made up his mind to make a big noise about this issue. Why did he agree to act as the Deputy Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy? The answer was that he wanted to make trouble at his will! And this was a perfect opportunity to do it!

　　Immediately, Xu Que said, as he glanced seriously at those three sovereigns, “Bao Jian, Zhang Liyun, and Lin Huan, you refused to correct your mistake and you ignored my order! Great! I want to see your parents!”

　　“See their parents?” Hearing this, the rest of the people in this area were stunned and had the same thought. The woman who had reminded Xu Que through the silent message was also shocked by what she had heard. Bao Jian, Zhang Liyun, and Lin Huan were also slightly surprised. Then they started to look at Xu Que sarcastically.

　　“Deputy Dean, are you sure you want to see our parents?”

　　“Hah! Hah! I suggest you should get some suggestions from the Dean first. If people of our families really come here, I’m afraid you will have to quit your job!”

　　“I planned to show you some respect. Since you don’t want it, just don’t blame our rudeness!”

　　The three of them sneered arrogantly at this time. They had heard that Xu Que’s father might be someone who was more powerful than a Celestial King. Now, however, they were sure that this possibility was very low.

　　If Xu Que’s father was really that powerful, how could he just be the Deputy Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy? He would be powerful enough to rule the Heaven Palace Academy and even the entire Ziwei Celestial Realm!

　　So, they thought they had figured out the truth. The old man, who might be very powerful, couldn’t be as powerful as the Dean. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to act as the Deputy Dean! Therefore, their families didn’t need to be afraid of him. Also, they firmly believed that the Heaven Palace Academy would never become an enemy of their families just for this small issue. Nobody could make such a stupid decision!

　　Many apprentices in this area also had the same idea. Someone shook his head secretly because the new Deputy Dean would end up being humiliated. Someone sneered and was planning to laugh at Xu Que.

　　Nobody believed this issue could cause big trouble. After all, this new Deputy Dean had no right to make decisions for the Heaven Palace Academy. They knew the new Deputy Dean was trying to build his authority. However, he had found the wrong objects.

　　The correct way would be to punish the minions mentioned by Duan Jiude. Bao Jian, Zhang Liyun, and Lin Huan, who had extraordinary backgrounds, should be punished mildly.

　　“Damn! Mr. Duan, don’t stop me! I will kill them personally!” Buttface was totally annoyed by those three sovereigns.

　　“Mr. Buttface, don’t do anything reckless! And I am not stopping you now!” Duan Jiude said as he lifted his arms.

　　Then Buttface and Duan Jiude turned to Xu Que. They needed an indication from Xu Que about whether they should make a big noise now. However, Xu Que was doing his best to suppress the Firestorm Wheels with his Soul Strength at this time.

　　When those three people provoked Xu Que, the two souls in the Firestorm Wheels tried to rush out. Xu Que knew clearly that his knife…oh, no, his father-in-law and mother-in-law were thirsty for blood at this moment!

　　He was pondering to himself, “Should I release these two souls to kill three sovereigns at the summit of the Earth Celestial Stage at the cost of the fast depletion of their energy? No, the cost efficiency is too low!”

　　Now, Xu Que could kill three cultivators at the summit of the Earth Celestial Stage easily. Therefore, he would never let the souls of the two big shots waste their energy for nothing. After all, the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines he had now were only enough to give these two souls one opportunity to attack his enemy!

　　“Damn! I can’t suppress them anymore!” Apparently, Xu Que was not powerful enough to suppress the two souls. So he cursed to himself because he had been totally annoyed by the three sovereigns. “Holy sh*t! I would have forgiven you if you had admitted your mistakes and allowed Buttface and Duan Jiude to punish you. Now, you choose to act tough in front of the Act-Tough Saint! Don’t blame my cruelty!”

　　“Guardian Mo!” Xu Que shouted seriously.

　　“Yes, sir!” Mo Junchen, who was prepared, stepped out immediately.

　　Xu Que lifted his hand and pointed at the three sovereigns as he said coldly, “Kill them all. Also, ask someone to send a message to their families immediately and tell them the Heaven Palace Academy declares war on the Bao Family, the Zhang Family, and the Lin Family. If they are not cowards, they should come here to confront me! Those with cold feet are dogs!”
