From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Chapter 652 - 623: Slacking Off

Xu Chunliang was momentarily stunned and looked up at the podium. Teacher Mo Han was pointing a shiny pointer at him. Xu Chunliang nudged Chen Qianfan, who was sitting next to him, with his leg.Chen Qianfan, who was daydreaming, thought his name was called and quickly stood up.

Mo Han said, "Not you, Xu Chunliang! Stand up!" She directly called his name this time.

The classroom erupted in laughter. Chen Qianfan awkwardly sat back down. This Xu Chunliang is too tricky. At his age, he shouldn’t be playing around like this.

Xu Chunliang stood up.

Mo Han said, "Since you’re here for class, please cherish your learning opportunity. Even if you don’t, at least respect the teacher and your classmates."

Xu Chunliang replied, "Who did I offend? I don’t think I was distracting anyone."

Mo Han said, "You broke classroom rules by playing on your phone during class—do you still argue it’s justified?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Alright, it’s my fault. I apologize. Can I sit down and listen now?"

"No! If everyone was like you, how would our class continue? You better stand there obediently."

Xu Chunliang said, "Teacher Mo, if you have an issue with me, just say it. Can’t we keep personal grudges out of this?"

Mo Han said, "How am I bringing personal grudges into this?"

Xu Chunliang sighed, "I’ve told you, some things can’t be forced. Yet you insist and cling to me."

The classroom filled with gasps. Everyone in the class was intensely observing, no one’s a fool; anyone could see there was definitely something between the two of them.

Mo Han furiously said, "Xu Chunliang, stop spouting nonsense. Get out."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "You’re the one telling me to leave."

Mo Han angrily said, "Do you believe I can expel you?"

Xu Chunliang didn’t even look back as he waved his hand. Back when he first entered the Europe Business School, the thought of expulsion might have concerned him, but now he couldn’t care less. At a certain point, degrees become irrelevant, especially when you’ve recently received two certifications as easily as Qiao Rulong.

Of course, Xu Chunliang also believed Mo Han wouldn’t actually do it. She needed something from him, so before she found the Dragon Bone, how could she completely turn against him? She was conflicted internally, both angry with him but unable to discard him. That must be miserable.

Yet Xu Chunliang felt great. The more she acted like this, the more it proved she had no way to tackle him and was currently losing their battle of wits.

At noon, Xu Chunliang met Gao Xiaobai in the cafeteria. He handed over the specialties entrusted to him by Gao Xinhua, feeling that Old Gao’s actions were somewhat unnecessary. With logistics so developed nowadays, wouldn’t sending something by courier be faster than personally delivering it?

Could it be that Old Gao still harbored a glimmer of hope for him to interact more with Gao Xiaobai? Seems unlikely, since Old Gao wasn’t a clueless person. He knew Xu Chunliang already had Mei Ru Xue, yet he was still pushing his daughter towards him. Maybe Old Gao had come to terms with the fact that the kids weren’t going to end up together, but getting more acquainted couldn’t hurt—they could be friends if not lovers.

After all, Gao Xiaobai recently got into a few troubles, and Xu Chunliang was the one who resolved them for her. She might not say it, but she respects his abilities.

Gao Xiaobai ordered six dishes, and that was after Xu Chunliang stopped her. Otherwise, she would have rounded it up to eight.

Xu Chunliang said, "That’s enough, we are just two people eating, no need to overdo it. Nowadays, even top officials have a standard of four dishes and a soup; you’re exceeding that."

Gao Xiaobai laughed, "Xu Chunliang, you’re doing well. It’s obvious you’ve changed since becoming an official."

Xu Chunliang said, "What kind of official am I? Don’t mock me."

Gao Xiaobai said, "In the past, my dad often told me to learn from you. I wasn’t convinced then, but now I am. There are indeed many aspects on you worth learning."

Xu Chunliang said, "I can’t handle flattery. Whenever someone praises me, I float."

Gao Xiaobai started laughing, then suddenly her smile froze on her face as a woman in a black outfit approached them.

Seeing Gao Xiaobai’s expression, Xu Chunliang realized something, and through her eyes, he saw the person approaching was Mo Han.

Mo Han said, "Xu Chunliang, you’re quite at ease!"

Xu Chunliang replied, "Finding joy amidst hardship, nothing interrupts my eating and drinking."

Mo Han smiled at Gao Xiaobai, "May I sit down?"

Gao Xiaobai nodded.

Xu Chunliang commented, "Seems inappropriate, doesn’t it?"

Mo Han ignored him and sat down next to Gao Xiaobai.

Gao Xiaobai said, "Have something to eat together?"

Mo Han, unreservedly smiling at her, said, "Sure!"

Xu Chunliang said, "Teacher Mo, you’ve really come to annoy me today. Making me stand in class in front of everyone, kicking me out, and now you have the nerve to tag along for a meal."

Mo Han said to Gao Xiaobai, "How much is the meal? Let’s split the bill."

Gao Xiaobai said, "No need, no need, it’s on me, it’s not much money. Chunliang’s come to Capital City, I should be the one to welcome him." Her meaning was very clear, I’m inviting Xu Chunliang, not you, you’re just here for a free meal.

Mo Han said, "Forget it, I better not disturb you all." She got up and left, her comings and goings always so sudden.

Gao Xiaobai was puzzled, "She is..."

"Ignore her, just a nutcase."

Xu Chunliang and Gao Xiaobai didn’t have much in common, and after eating, they went their separate ways. As Xu Chunliang was leaving, someone walked by and upon seeing him, quickly turned away to walk to the side.

Even though that guy reacted quickly, he still didn’t escape Xu Chunliang’s sharp eye. Wasn’t that guy the South Korean student, Li Changmin, who tricked Gao Xiaobai last time?

The guy ran a little further, looked back to see if Xu Chunliang was following him, and when he turned his head, he found Xu Chunliang right behind him, smiling at him.

Li Changmin was startled, "This...this is a school..." he pointed at the surveillance camera by the road, implying there were monitors.

Xu Chunliang said, "Don’t be scared, I’m not planning to hit you, I’m just kindly here to deliver the antidote." Last time he had slipped a Five Poison Heart Attack Pill into this guy’s mouth, so that’s why he said that.

Li Changmin said shakily, "No...no need..."

Xu Chunliang pulled his hand over without a word, clasping his vein firmly. As students passed by occasionally, seeing two male students holding hands in the middle of the campus like this, they pointed and whispered to each other. Since when had the campus become so accepting?

If Xu Chunliang hadn’t checked his pulse it would have been fine, but when he did, he was shocked to find that the toxins in Li Changmin’s body were entirely gone.

To others, it might not seem like much, but to the Five Poison Sect Leader, this was a huge disgrace. The Five Poison Heart Attack Pill wasn’t his most powerful poison, but he believed no one alive could break it. Now not only had someone broken it but they cleared the toxins completely, leaving no aftereffects.

Looking at Li Changmin, Xu Chunliang showed a sinister smile. Li Changmin, feeling a chill run down his spine, forced a smile, "Don’t smile like that... I’m scared..."

"You know to be scared, but still dared to do such a wicked thing?"

"I...I’ve already admitted my mistake, I’ve said all I needed to say."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Who helped you detoxify?"

Li Changmin shook his head, "I promised not to say..."

Xu Chunliang said, "I’ll ask you again, who helped you detoxify?"

"I can’t say... Ah woo..."

Xu Chunliang shoved another pill into his mouth. Li Changmin wanted to spit it out, but Xu Chunliang covered his mouth and nose. The pill melted immediately with a strange and fishy taste.

Xu Chunliang said, "This is called the Seven-Ring Life-Stealing Pill, let’s see if he can detoxify it. Within three days, bring the person who detoxified you to me, or wait to die."

After saying this, Xu Chunliang left him in the dust. Li Changmin, with a weeping face and a heart that turned cold halfway, thought about why he came back, how could he have known this troublemaker would be so ruthless this time. He hadn’t offended him, right? Was it a mistake to find someone to detoxify?

Sadly, Xu Chunliang couldn’t care less about reasoning with people, especially with bumpkins from small places. Some people don’t understand what respect is. When you respect them and treat them as people, they think you’re afraid of them and start to become arrogant. With such people, you must use the crudest methods, with a mix of beatings and scoldings, speaking the language they can understand. The more you insult them, the more humble they become and respect you.

Xu Chunliang took some time to send the video of Zhou Deming drunk to Zhen Chun. Zhen Chun quickly called to question him on how he could get Mingzai so drunk.

Xu Chunliang explained, but Zhen Chun wouldn’t listen, telling him to wait as she was flying to Capital City to settle this with him.

Xu Chunliang understood his little cousin well; this girl was quick and efficient with her actions, she might arrive by night, so he’d better be prepared.

In the afternoon, Xu Chunliang returned to the Beijing Office after school and found Zhou Deming still lying in bed.

Xu Chunliang slapped him on the butt, "Aren’t you going to class!"

Zhou Deming sighed weakly, "I took a leave, I drank too much, it’s unbearable. I will never drink again."

Xu Chunliang said, "Alright, say that again, I’ll record it for you."

Zhou Deming said, "Boring."

Xu Chunliang asked, "You haven’t eaten all day?"

Zhou Deming said, "Didn’t you have someone bring food over?"

But Xu Chunliang hadn’t asked anyone to do that. It wasn’t hard to figure out who did it, it was Li Xiumei directly managing the restaurant.

Xu Chunliang told Zhou Deming to first take a shower and clean up, while he went out to find Li Xiumei.

Li Xiumei had just finished giving instructions to the staff, and when she saw Xu Chunliang, she came over with a smile, "Xiaoxu, what can I do for you?"

Xu Chunliang had come to the Beijing Office twice and felt that the people there were becoming more and more amicable towards him. He was well aware that it wasn’t because of his personal charm. Initially, it was out of respect for Fu Guomin, and now it was for the sake of Secretary Zhou.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Sister Li, was it you who arranged the food in my room?"

Li Xiumei nodded, with a meaningful look, "You brought a living person in, the front desk couldn’t possibly not notice."
