Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating Chapter 242

Chapter 242: A Song Family Member Came, It Was Song Yan!

Right from the beginning and throughout the whole process, everything that happened did not escape the eyes of Guo Huaimin. As a scholar who had read poetry and literature since childhood and had excellent character and virtue, when he saw the scene with his own eyes, the fury in his heart was more intense than Lu Yu's.

Lu Yu was a hero who fought with Fearsome Beasts on the front line and risked his neck and shed his blood to protect humankind, yet his children suffered injustice in school so grave that it caused great indignation.

Guo Huaimin thought to himself that if he were in Lu Yu's shoes, he would be more ruthless than Lu Yu!

Despite the collapse of the previous rules and social order in this era, where the bloody laws of the jungle now ruled above all, education was still the most noble activity for humankind. As a nation, there should not be such scum among the cultivators who graduate from the schools, inheriting the legacy of a country's civilization and history.

“I say Principal Tan, you should not just focus on making money and be hell bent on enrolling students of bad character against your own conscience. I think you need to conduct a new screening of all the students in this school.”

“This is the only way to achieve the most equitable distribution of educational resources to those who deserve it.”

Guo Huaimin pointed at Tan Lan and chided him non-stop. Tan Lan could only hold his tongue and submit himself to the reprimand as he listened and nodded continuously. He had no choice since the other party was a professor of the Capital City University.

After the pelting chastisement trailed off, Guo Huaimin said to the Elders of the three powerful families, “Gentlemen, if I were to have such characters among my younger generation, I will not only feel no pity at their passing, but I also can't wait to kill them with one slap of my palm.”

“It is the family's misfortune that this kind of worthless scum appears in the family. If a family wants to pass on its legacy for thousands of years, it cannot rely on such people.”

The Elders of the three powerful families stiffened their bodies as their faces turned apoplectic. However, they could only swallow their pride in silence. This guy Guo Huaimin's status was too overwhelmingly lofty and they simply had no guts to offend him.

Finally, Guo Huaimin made his intentions clear. He was willing to step in as the peacemaker to resolve this matter. The Elders of the three powerful families thought that Guo Huaimin did not want the matter to spiral out of control before stepping in, but in the next second, they were given a hard slap on their faces.

“Honorable Count, I wonder if I can take your son as my disciple?” Guo Huaimin circled around Lu Shan, and after carefully sizing him up, he became increasingly satisfied with him and made this request.

All of a sudden, the expressions on the Elders from the three powerful families turned exceedingly awkward.

They realized that Guo Huaimin was taking Lu Yu's side when he decided to be a peacemaker. In other words, if they continued to stay in the Capital City University's affiliated Third High School, they would only be embarrassing themselves.

Guo Huaimin was here to help Lu Yu after all, so Lu Yu still had to extend some courtesy to him. Lu Yu ruffled Lu Shan's hair, and decided to let him choose for himself.

Lu Shan's face was full of anticipation, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked cautiously, “Professor Guo, would you be willing to take my sister as a disciple as well?”

If Guo Huaimin refused, Lu Shan would turn down his offer immediately. He wanted to be with his little sister all the time to take good care of her.

Guo Huaimin didn't even think twice and said straightaway, “There is naturally no problem with that.”

What caught his eye was Lu Shan's talent. This was a student with good potential, who could be nurtured into a strong cultivator in the future. And although Lu Shui's talent did not catch his discerning eyes, it was not too bad. With a little training, she would still be presentable.

“Disciples Lu Shan and Lu Shui hereby pay their respects to you, Master!” Lu Shan and Lu Shui were overjoyed. After exchanging looks with each other, they knelt and kowtowed in unison.

“Hahaha… You are my good disciples. This is the first time we met, and I did not bring anything of value. You can have these two weapons and use them for self-defense.” Guo Huaimin laughed heartily. After helping the two to their feet, he gifted both of them an class weapon each.

This scene made people so envious. As was well-known, this was a professor from the Capital City University. Anyone who could come under his tutelage would be directly inducted into the inner circle of the Capital City University's upper echelons. These students didn't even need to take the martial arts exam and could enter Capital City University directly under the special recruitment channel.

One could imagine that from now on, none of the teachers and students of this school would dare to bully this brother and sister duo ever again.

When the Elders of the three powerful families saw this, they slipped away in disgrace, while Guo Huaimin continued his lecture at the Capital City University's affiliated Third High School.

Lu Yu, on the other hand, was taking Lu Shan and Lu Shui and leaving the Capital City University's affiliated Third High School. Both of them had already been accepted by Guo Huaimin as his disciples so there was no need for them to stay here any longer.

Just as he was about to leave, Tan Lan personally tried to hold him back with an apologetic smile. He uttered all kinds of nice words, making Lu Yu a bit impatient. He retorted, “Principal Tan, I witnessed with my own eyes the situation of your school. I dare not let my two children continue to stay here to study.”

Lu, I assure you that this is the last time such things will happen.”

The two students who were accepted as disciples by Guo Huaimin would eventually become undergraduates of the Capital City University. When the time came, it would increase the admission rate of the Capital City University's affiliated Third High School. He could not let go of such an opportunity so easily.

Therefore, he offered the best terms and conditions. Before the martial arts exam, Lu Shan and Lu Shui would get free accommodation in the school dormitories. All their training expenses were free and they would get monthly subsidies.

As for Jiang Jun, he was directly promoted to the management level as a deputy team leader. Given such an offer, Lu Yu simply issued a final stern warning that the principal would have to bear the consequences himself if such incidents happened again. Thereafter, he did not say anything more.

“Hmph! You're Lu Yu, right? Just you wait. We are not done with you yet. When the seniors of my family arrive, you are finished!”

Song Guo, whose face was all swollen and bruised, couldn't swallow the insult any longer. He barged into the Principal's office despite the efforts of a group of teachers to stop him and yelled at Lu Yu.

“Mr. Song, this is my office. Please get out!” Tan Lan said with a stern face.

“Hoho! Tan Lan, what are you getting cocky for? You are just an insignificant character who got damned lucky and made his fortune. When my family's elder come, we'll see how he deals with you.” Song Guo had already called someone beforehand and was now uttering threats in the office.

Lu Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a scornful laugh, “Then I would love to see how this elder from your family is going to stick up for you.”

Tan Lan rubbed his forehead as he felt another headache coming. He had just sent three powerful families off, and now, another big shot whom he could not afford to offend was coming.

They were talking about the Song family, one of the four great families and the preeminent family among the top-tiered families. If someone from the Song family really came, he would not be able to breathe easy.

Half an hour later, outside the principal's office, a hale and hearty old man with a majestic air walked in. After sweeping his gaze around, he took the initiative to introduce himself. “I am Song Yan. May I ask which one of you is

Lu Yu?”

When he saw Song Yan, Song Guo became exceedingly gleeful. He dragged Song Yan to the front of Lu Yu and pointed Lu Yu out, “Fourth Granduncle, that's him. He is Lu Yu. Look at all these bruises on my body. He is responsible for all of them.”

“It doesn't matter if he hits me. What matters is he made our Song family lose face. If we don't teach him a hard lesson, others will not respect our Song family in the future…”

Song Guo's eyes were brimming with spiteful resentment. He recounted what happened earlier with a lot of embellishment and exaggeration. Song Yan's expression became more and more dreadful. That pent-up anger was like a volcano about to erupt..
