Reincarnation - The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad-Chapter 980: The Meeting Before the Competition
Chapter 980 The Meeting Before the Competition
Qin Haodong stopped and said with a playful face, “Director Li is lost? You can’t find him? You shouldn’t ask me. You should go look for him in Flower Street or Willow Alley.
“I could tell that the geezer doesn’t look like a good person. Maybe he’s sleeping on the belly of a woman now.”
“You… nonsense!”
Li Mengyao’s face flushed with anger.
Lu Mingju cried, “Qin Haodong, can you stop pretending to be confused? What did you do last night?”
“Pretending to be confused? I’m really confused. Your Director Li disappeared. Why are you all asking me?”
Qin Haodong then said, “I’m a man who always answers questions. Since you’ve asked, I will give you an answer. I have so many beautiful girlfriends. What can I do at night? You can easily figure that out, can’t you?”
After that, the girls behind him roared with laughter at first, and then they became shy. They looked beautiful and charming.
Seeing that she had been mocked, Lu Mingju angrily shouted, “You… stinky rogue! Shame on you!”
Qin Haodong playfully said, “I am a rogue? I didn’t take advantage of you. I don’t even want to look at women like you.”
“Bastard, I’ll kill you!”
Lu Mingju was about to make a move but was stopped by Li Mengyao.
She glared at Qin Haodong. She knew that she was no match for him, so she endured it.
Li Mengyao said to Qin Haodong, “Qin Haodong, I’ll ask you again. Are you sure you haven’t seen our Director Li?”
Qin Haodong took two steps forward, stared at her, and said, “It’s really interesting. Did you take the wrong medicine? Why are all of you asking me? Why should I know where he was?
“Could it be that your Dragon Academy feels that I’m too strong and will affect the result of this exchange conference, so you want to kill me in advance?
“Or, is Director Li reluctant to lose that Immortal Crystal and wants to take it back from me?”
“This…”
Li Mengyao didn’t expect Qin Haodong to figure out the truth. However, this matter was related to the honor of the Dragon Kingdom. She certainly couldn’t admit it.
“How is that possible? Director Li is a gentleman. He is not as underhanded as you think. I am just asking casually.”
Qin Haodong smiled. “Gentleman? I hope so.”
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Luo Dongqing, as the Associate Director of the Tortoise Academy, felt embarrassed at being left aside. Although he was a bit smaller, they couldn’t ignore him.
Thus, he stepped forward and said, “Second Princess, what’s going on? Is Li Tianba missing?”
Li Mengyao had attended the exchange conference last year, so she naturally knew the Associate Director of the Tortoise Academy. She said, “Director Luo, Director Li went out to handle some business yesterday, but he hasn’t come back yet.
“I am a little worried and just asking around.”
“This guy is even less reliable than me. He is absent at such an important time.” Luo Dongqing appeared to be mumbling to himself but seemingly to Li Mengyao too.
Then, he said, “Well, let’s go in for the meeting.”
Li Mengyao knew that she couldn’t get anything out of Qin Haodong, so she led the way into the venue.
Just as Luo Dongqing was about to follow her in, someone behind him shouted, “Wait a minute, Geezer Luo. We are old friends. I have to say hello to you.”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall geezer walking over, followed by seven teammates in white.
They were from the Tiger Academy. The geezer at the front was the Associate Director, Song Tian.
At the same time, a middle-aged woman in red came over from another direction. Behind her was a teammate in red.
They were the people from Rosefinch Academy. The woman at the front was the Associate Director, Liu Xiaofu.
Song Tian was full of smiles, which seemed to be exceptionally fake.
He strode to Luo Dongqing and stretched out his big hand. ” Geezer Luo, we haven’t seen each other for a year, have we? Have you made any progress?”
Luo Dongqing reached out and shook hands with him. “Not too bad. No matter what, I’m still better than you.”
“Is that so? The Tortoise Academy is always at the bottom, the last place every year. I really don’t know where your ‘better’ comes from.”
Song Tian did not seem to be so friendly. On the contrary, he always made fun of the Tortoise Academy. This time, he just came here to mock Luo Dongqing.
At the same time, his right hand was full of Genuine Qi and his strength was growing. He wanted to embarrass Luo Dongqing.
Last year, when they came to the exchange conference, Luo Dongqing and Song Tian were both at the final stage of the Combination Realm. In comparison, Song Tian’s cultivation was higher.
However, he didn’t expect that after a year, Luo Dongqing had entered the stage of the Grand Completion Realm with the help of Qin Haodong. How could he challenge Luo Dongqing?
Although his Genuine Qi gushed out wildly, there was no reaction like a clay ox falling into the sea. On the contrary, he felt more and more pressure.
Luo Dongqing naturally knew what the other party was trying to do. With a smile on his face, his hand firmly suppressed the other party.
Song Tian turned pale with fright when he sensed Luo Dongqing’s strength. “You, you, you’ve reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm?”
Luo Dongqing smiled. “Of course. How can I be as useless as you? You haven’t made any progress in years.”
At the moment, the pressure on Song Tian’s hand was getting greater and greater and he felt as if the bones were about to be crushed. He hurriedly shouted with a red face, “Okay, Geezer Luo, hurry up and let go of my hand.”
Qin Haodong who was nearby found it funny. The two geezers with bushy eyebrows and beards were playing such a low IQ game.
Luo Dongqing had always been firmly suppressed by Song Tian all these years. Today, he finally found a chance to take revenge. Naturally, he wouldn’t let it go so easily.
He tightened his grip two more times, and only let go when the other party was about to collapse.
Song Tian desperately shook his hand and continuously sent out Genuine Qi to relieve the pain in his hand.
Luo Dongqing smiled and said, “Geezer Song, you’re really useless. Amongst the teachers of the four academies, only you haven’t reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. Don’t you feel embarrassed?”
Song Tian’s face flushed with embarrassment. Then, he said, “Geezer Luo, don’t be proud. Even if you have reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, so what? You can’t represent your academy to participate in the competition. Your Tortoise Academy will be at the bottom of this exchange conference, too.
“Don’t forget that you didn’t even win one round in the exchange conference last year.”
Luo Dongqing said, “Geezer Song, you think too much. Let me tell you. The current Tortoise Academy is no longer what it used to be. Our goal this time is to become the champion.”
He was full of confidence now. Yesterday, Qin Haodong and others had defeated the Dragon Academy which was the strongest in the past. Therefore, it would not be difficult for his students to win the championship.
“Huh, huh, huh, have you not woken up yet?” Song Tian laughed disdainfully. “In all the exchange conferences of the four academies these years, the Dragon Academy once took first place, the Tiger Academy once took first place, and the Rosefinch Academy once took first place.
“Only your Tortoise Academy was the weakest every time. When will it be your turn to win the championship? You must be dreaming.”
Luo Dongqing angrily said, “Geezer Song, today’s Tortoise Academy is no longer the same as before. Wait until the competition, and then you will know how strong it is.”
At this time, Liu Xiaofu, who had been standing next to them, coldly said, “Are you two done? If you’re done, go in and get down to business.”
She was always cold and arrogant. What’s more, she didn’t pay any more attention to Luo Dongqing’s words.
In the past, the Tortoise Academy had always been the weakest. However, Luo Dongqing said that the Tortoise Academy would win the championship this year. In her eyes, this was a joke.
Everyone walked into the conference room. The conference room was ready. The seats were divided according to the badges of the four academies.
After sitting down, Qin Haodong began to look at the students of other academies. He had already fought with the people of the Dragon Academy, so he knew what they were capable of.
However, he soon found that the Dragon Academy was not the strongest among the teammates this year.
Four people of the Tiger Academy had reached the middle stage of the Combination Realm, and the leader of the team seemed about to break through to the late stage of the Combination Realm.
No wonder Song Tian was so confident. It turned out that the strength of his students this year was super strong.
There were three people of the Rosefinch Academy nearby who were already at the middle stage of the Combination Realm. The leader was an extremely cold beauty whose temperament was almost exactly the same as that of Liu Xiaofu.
“Interesting!”
A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. It seemed that the exchange conference this time would not be ordinary. If the Dragon Academy was ranked last, he wondered what kind of expression Li Mengyao would have.
“His highness has arrived!”
Along with the sharp announcement from a eunuch, a handsome young man came in from the outside. He was Liu Hong, the first prince of the Rosefinch Kingdom that was the host of the exchange conference this year. Behind him was the chief steward of the palace, Fang Desheng.
Although he only looked about 30 years old, his temperament was extremely mature and steady.
After sitting on the stage, he glanced at the crowd with a smile and said, “Welcome all the teachers and students from academies to the exchange conference.
“The purpose of the exchange conference between the four academies has always been to exchange and learn. Through the exchange conference, we have improved the teaching standards of the four academies and learning abilities of students…”
After making some polite remarks, he got to the point and said, “I called you here today to discuss the matters of the exchange conference. Let’s discuss if the rules of the exchange conference this year need to be changed.”
Speaking of this, he turned his eyes to the Dragon Academy, the champion of the last exchange meeting. When he saw that there were only Li Mengyao and other students, he was slightly surprised and said, “Didn’t Director Li of the Dragon Academy come?”
Li Mengyao said, “Your Highness, Director Li is busy and didn’t come. I’ll represent him.”
“That’s fine, then.” Liu Hong said, “Second Princess, why don’t you discuss the views of the Dragon Academy? Let’s see if we can improve the rules of our competition.”
Normally, this kind of pre-competition meeting was just a routine procedure. No one would really raise any objections. It had always been like this in the past.
To everyone’s surprise, Li Mengyao said, “Your Highness, I do think there are some rules that need to be changed.”
There was a flash of surprise in Liu Hong’s eyes. Then, he said with interest, “Tell me. What do you think needs to be changed, Second Princess?”
Li Mengyao said, “Your Highness just said that the purpose of the exchange conference between our four academies was to exchange and learn, so I think we should show the true strength of each teammate in the competition. We shouldn’t use demonic beasts and other things.
“I suggest that everyone competes with their real strength, so we can find our own shortcomings in cultivation.
“If possible, I’ll make it clear that I won’t use my spirit beast, Thunder Leopard, in the competition.”
Then, with a thought, she summoned her Thunder Leopard.
After coming out, it first glanced vigilantly around. After confirming that the Three-legged Golden Toad was not there, it raised its head high and let out a long roar.
