Chapter 989: First Step: Building a House
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment. He realized that something was indeed wrong with the return of Han Fei and the others. Logically speaking, any big shot from the Thug Academy could handle this.
But in the end, they sent the five kids back? This meant that there was a reason why those big shots couldn’t return.
Although the strong masters of the Thug Academy couldn’t return, the young ones could return, which meant that they had recovered to a certain extent and had the strength to challenge the big families of the Thousand Star City.
Under such circ.u.mstances, the former location of the Thug Academy had to be returned. After all, the land belonged to them. He also believed that these big shots could settle many small families here with just a little effort.
However, why not take the opportunity to recruit a few more people?
The Su family was considered an ancient family. Although it was currently a small family, it had once been powerful in history. They knew the standards of the Thug Academy for accepting disciples all too well. They only wanted geniuses.
Look at Han Fei and the others. They hadn’t changed at all! Which one of them wasn’t a genius? Even the Luo family had arranged for their juniors to enter the Thug Academy. Why didn’t they take the opportunity to stand on their side?
At the very least, as long as the descendants recruited didn’t perish, they might be able to protect the Su family for a hundred years in the future.
The middle-aged man blinked as though he had received a message. Then he immediately nodded. “OK, let’s make it two.”
Han Fei said, “We have to choose ourselves.”
The middle-aged man laughed. “Of course. When your school is rebuilt, I’ll invite you to a banquet at the Su family’s residence. After all, since you have chosen to return, you have to get to know some people. It might not be convenient for you to go far, but you have to familiarize yourself with the Sun Yang Island first.”
Han Fei thought for a moment and nodded slightly. “Alright! In that case, how may I address you, Senior?”
The middle-aged man sighed inwardly. Only now is this kid willing to call me Senior? This is the pride of a genius!
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Su Yang, I’m the current head of the Su family but I’m only a peak-level Law Enforcer.”
Han Fei chuckled inwardly. A peak-level Law Enforcer was pretty good. In the 36 Towns, this was already very terrifying.
However, in those wealthy families, a peak-level Law Enforcer was indeed not that strong.
It seemed that the two Explorers of the Su family were probably quite old. As for their strength, Han Fei didn’t know, but they definitely can’t become Venerables. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have become a small family.
Han Fei didn’t say anything. First of all, they had to accept disciples, and the descendants of big families did have their advantages, even if they were from declining families.
Secondly, he might be staying on the Pure Sun Island for a long period of time. It wouldn’t be appropriate if he offended everyone now…
Today’s battle was a declaration of the return of the Thug Academy. As for the rest… Well, let them rebuild the school first.
After landing, Su Yang shouted at those people, “You occupy this place because you like the abundant spiritual energy in the Thug Academy. Now that the owner has returned, you’ve seen their strength. This land should be returned to its original owner. Move out and find a place to settle down in the next two days!”
It was obvious that the Su family’s prestige in this area was very high. Although many people were reluctant, no one retorted.
More importantly, Han Fei and the others were too ferocious just now. The four of them had taken down eight Law Enforcers, especially Han Fei, who had won against five. This made them feel helpless.
When the youths looked at Han Fei and the others again, their eyes were filled with awe and fear.
The young man who had been thrown away by Han Fei also fell silent.
They couldn’t afford to offend such a genius. There was no saying that a powerful dragon couldn’t suppress a local snake. He was very strong. Five of them dared to challenge a thousand people… Who else would dare to do so?
The elder who had partic.i.p.ated in the battle sighed. “Everyone, disperse. Go back and move!”
“Wait a moment.”
Suddenly, Luo Xiaobai pointed at the middle-aged man who was clamoring from Han Fei and the others to kneel down and beg for mercy. “You, apologize.”
Han Fei and the others smiled. Although Luo Xiaobai was usually very rational, she was a woman! She couldn’t bear to see herself being humiliated, nor could she see the people she cared about being insulted.
Luo Xiaobai cared a lot about Han Fei, Zhang Xuanyu, and the others. Over the years, it wasn’t an exaggeration to describe them as childhood friends.
The middle-aged man’s face flushed red. Now, he couldn’t flare up even if he wanted to. He couldn’t beat any of them, but he was an adult. How could he apologize to a few children?
Su Yang shouted, “Apologize! Apologize seriously.”
The middle-aged man seemed to be slow to react. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took a deep breath and took a few steps forward. He bowed and said, “Liu Bing is ignorant and offended you, young friends. Please forgive me.”
After a long while, Liu Bing didn’t dare raise his head when he heard no sound. He bowed even deeper.
After a while, his son held him up and said, “Dad, they’re… Gone.”
Liu Bing looked up in surprise and found that Han Fei and the others had already walked hundreds of meters away without any sound. He didn’t even hear them.
Liu Bing’s face flushed red. He had disgraced himself in front of his son today. However, it was all that little b*stard’s fault. Wasn’t it him who provoked the other party first?
Several Law Enforcers bowed to Su Yang, and then someone asked, “Family Head Su, can the Thug Academy really come back?”
Su Yang looked at the departing figures of Han Fei and the others and scoffed. “He’s already back. What do you mean can he really come back?”
The few Law Enforcers took a deep breath. “Then, then the children of our Pure Sun Island…”
Su Yang shrugged. “I can’t interfere in this matter. You have to see how they arrange it… However, let me remind you that I believe you all know what the Thug Academy used to be like. If you don’t have a genius in your family, don’t send him to them. In terms of selecting students, the seven sects combined aren’t as strict as the Thug Academy.”
“Well…”
After everyone left, Su Yang sighed. He didn’t know if he had made the right bet. The Su family was only a small family. It wasn’t impossible for it to rise to prominence. However, there were only a few people in their family who could be considered elites. He really didn’t know if they would take a fancy to them.
In addition, he had to remember another thing: although the Thug Academy was good, its style had always been domineering and even lawless. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been besieged back then.
He only hoped that the Thug Academy would be more low-key and wouldn’t attract a huge disaster. Otherwise, the Su family would probably be implicated.
…
Su Yang had no idea what his decision represented.
If he had known the purpose of Han Fei’s return, if he had known that it involved the game between Venerables, he probably wouldn’t have dared to get involved in this matter.
Unfortunately, this was not the case. He only saw the strength of Han Fei and the others, and the return of the people from the Thug Academy but didn’t know anything else. This was the limitation of a small family.
…
In school…
Zhang Xuanyu said, “There are quite a number of strong people here! Just the Pure Sun Island alone has seven to eight Law Enforcers, and there are two Explorers behind them. This doesn’t include the ones who didn’t come.”
Le Renkuang nodded. “We still have to become Law Enforcers as soon as possible.”
Han Fei said, “No rus.h.!.+ We’re not familiar with the Thousand Star City yet. When the school is rebuilt, we’ll go to those places to take a look.”
Luo Xiaobai looked at Ku Shui and said, “Grandpa Ku, get someone to send over a pulse testing stone.”
Ku Shui smiled and extended his hand. “Miss, here you are.”
Clearly, the Luo family had long known that the Thug Academy would be rebuilt. Therefore, when they got Ku Shui to pick them up, they had already prepared everything they needed.
Luo Xiaobai threw the pulse testing stone to Han Fei. “Two?”
Han Fei said, “We’ll see when we get there. If they’re good enough, we’ll take in two. If they’re ordinary, we’ll take as many as we want.”
Luo Xiaobai said in surprise, “Take as many as we want?”
Han Fei smiled and said, “It’s not a big problem. No matter how declining a family is, it’s still a family. It’s impossible for it to not have one or two decent children. Otherwise, this family would have been wiped out long ago and wouldn’t have lasted until now. Even if they arrange it themselves, they will find two good seedlings. Otherwise, why would Su Yang mention this to me?”
Han Fei clapped his hands and said, “Alright, the people have been cleaned up. Continue cleaning up the uncleared areas. I’m going to start building the house.”
He was almost a Law Enforcer. Building a house was even simpler than clearing the grounds.
The only thing Han Fei had to consider was how big a house he had to build. What type of house? What style?
Since he was the one building it, he naturally wanted to slack off. Maybe he should just build a school library? As for the five of them, maybe they could just build a treehouse and sleep in the trees?
As for the cla.s.sroom, there was no need. How should he build the house? There was no need to consider this too much. It mainly needed to be grand and imposing. Only then could it match the temperament of the Thug Academy.
However, it wouldn’t work if the house was too big. The Thug Academy had just returned to the Thousand Star City, so they were definitely in the eye of the storm. What if some people came to cause destruction? Therefore, they had to set up a killing array…
Finally, the Thug Academy needed to recruit students. If only this house could automatically access incoming students.
“Oh? There’s no need to build a house… Other things seem to work as well.”
It had to be grand, have a killing array, and can be used as an a.s.sessment tool. Han Fei only had two ideas, neither of them being a simple building: a maze and a dimensional killing array.
