Chapter 54: But I'm the class president!
The red wheel of fire, the sun slowly sank on the western side of the mountain range.
The light is not eye-piercing, but a kind of bright, soft light.
The western sky was dyed with a blushing red color, the sunset light continued to spread. It was like an imperial concubine who had just been rewarded, happily crowding around the emperor, wanting to sleep together with him. (1)
Qing Mao Mountain was swallowed up entirely in a sea of rose-red color. Each of the buildings and the high-polar houses were also covered with a layer of golden thread.
The forest around that was planted around the academy looked like it was swept away by a faint layer of oil. The wind blew slowly, and as the students walked out of the classroom with chests carrying the ancient stones that had just fainted, they were in a relaxed and calm state of mind.
"I really don't know what Fang Yuan was thinking, to actually give up on the role of class president!"
“Heh heh heh, his brain fried. I'm sure he's thinking of killing people all day, don't worry about us with this kind of crazy guy. ”
“In hindsight, that day when she walked into the academy, I was really scared. It was so scary, I had a nightmare on that day alone after I got home. ”
The students were in groups of two and three as they walked.
"Good afternoon class president."
“Mm.”
"Greetings to the class."
“Hmm.”
Gu Yue Mo Bei walked arrogantly, and wherever he went the disciples would bow and greet him without exception.
His face was unable to withstand the expression of excitement and madness.
This is the appeal of authority itself.
Even if it was just a slight difference in status, it could also make one more confident with his own pride.
Right now as the dying sun looked as red as blood, Mo Bei watched as his heart sang, "How could I never have realized before, the redness of this sunset is truly adorable ..."
"Hmph, a somersault just for being the chairman, as if it's pretty incredible." Gu Yue Chi Cheng deliberately walked behind, as he did not want to greet Gu Yue Mo Bei at all.
“I really don't know what Fang Yuan was thinking, to think he actually relinquished the position of chairman. But it's also a good thing, or me as the third, how can I get the vice-chairman role? Gu Yue Chi Cheng was confused in his heart, but he also felt happiness and relief.
"Good afternoon vice chairman." At this moment a normal student walked past him and immediately bowed to greet him.
“Heh heh, good day for you too.” Gu Yue Chi Cheng immediately nodded, his face full of smiles.
As soon as the student left, Chi Cheng naturally thought, “The vice-chairman's feeling is rather pleasant. I'm sure the feeling of being class president is even better. If only I wasn't the vice-chairman, but the chairman himself, how good would that be! ”
Chi Cheng who had just rejoiced earlier was now already filled with insatiable greed, starting to gather hope for the role of class leader.
Under the clan system, each rank higher than the last was like a carrot that was getting bigger than the previous one, greatly luring him.
"Although I am only a C-class talent, but I believe that things will get better and better." Gu Yue Chi Cheng was full of hope for his future.
However at this moment, the other vice chairman Gu Yue Fang Zheng felt extremely uneasy in his heart, his facial expression was also very unsightly.
"Sister, you!" He looked wide-eyed in disbelief at the entrance of the academy gate, where a figure stood alone.
"Old rules as always, each person a piece of ancient stone." Fang Yuan stood up while hugging his arm, his tone dull.
Fang Zheng's mouth opened and closed several times, then after a moment of effort he finally said, "Sister, but I am the vice-chairman now!"
"That's right." Fang Yuan was expressionless as he nodded, staring at Fang Zheng nonchalantly, “The vice-chairman receives a five-piece stipend each time. So you have to hand over three pieces instead. ”
Fang Zheng was flabbergasted, and for a moment he could not say a word.
A group of teenagers crowded around Gu Yue Mo Bei as they walked.
When they saw Fang Yuan blocking the school gate, Gu Yue Mo Bei became enraged, his finger pointing towards Fang Yuan. “Fang Yuan! You sure you have the guts to actually still dare to hold us back?! Right now I am the chairman, and as a normal student when you see me, you must first bow down and greet me!
What answered him next was Fang Yuan's fist.
Gu Yue Mo Bei was caught unexpectedly. After being hit by a fist, he could not help but retreat a few steps back, his face full of disbelief. “You hit me, you really dare to hit me? I am just the chairman!”
What answered him again was Fang Yuan's fist.
Bang, bang, bang.
After several rounds of exchanging offensive and defensive blows, Gu Yue Mo Bei was dropped to the floor by Fang Yuan, and he fell unconscious.
The surrounding youths were all wide-eyed as they watched, they were all unsure how to react for a moment.
This was completely different from their imagination!
The guards at the entrance of the gate had also been keeping an eye on everything that was happening under their eyelids. They could not help but whisper amongst themselves.
"Fang Yuan just dropped the new class president, what should we do?"
“Sauce salad!” (2)
"What do you mean?"
“That means just keep an eye on them, then call some other people and clear the place up.”
"But…"
“Hey, hey, you want to provoke a person like Fang Yuan? I hope you remember what happened to Wang Da and Wu Er!”
The guard who asked immediately shook and stopped saying again.
The two guards at the entrance of the large gate stood upright and upright. Letting an incident happen right beside them, as if they were deaf and blind, unable to hear or see anything.
It was then that other teenagers realized that nothing had changed. Fang Yuan was still the same Fang Yuan, and the blackmail would continue as usual.
“Masing each of you handed me one piece of ancient stone, vice-chairman of three pieces, eighth-grade chairman piece.” Fang Yuan announced the new rules.
The youths could only sigh and obediently take out their ancient stones.
When they walked out of the school gate, suddenly someone slapped his head and exclaimed loudly, “I've thought about it, no wonder Fang Yuan doesn't want the position of class president. He wants to keep blackmailing us!”
"That's fine. Every time he did, he would get around fifty-nine pieces of ancient stone, and now the number had increased to around sixty-eight pieces. If he was the class leader, he would only get ten pieces.” Quite a few of them are enlightened.
"He's too dangerous, too cunning, too barbaric!" Some of them slapped their thighs, full of hatred and resentment.
“Huh, in this way means there is nothing extraordinary about the position of the class and vice-chairman. They will also be squeezed and left with two pieces, just like the rest of us.”
It was unknown who had just spoken, but when the young children heard it, they all could not help but be silent.
Bang out!
The academy elder slapped the table hard, feeling extremely angry.
“Fang Yuan this is too absurd, what is he trying to do? To continue the blackmail, take eight pieces from the class chairman and three pieces from the vice chairman. With this, what was the difference between being the class president and vice chairman compared to other normal students ?! ” The academy elder tried his best to suppress his voice, but his tone was filled with anger.
When Fang Yuan rejected the position of class chairman, it meant refusing his own integration into the clan system. In strict terms, this was a kind of betrayal of the clan itself. This was enough to make the academy elder furious.
Soon after that Fang Yuan went to blackmail his classmates. The range of his hands was getting further and further, and this had already surpassed the bottom line of the academy elders. After the blackmail this time, the influence of the class chairman and vice chairman would be completely weakened.
Over time, normal students will lose their respect and interest for these two positions.
While Fang Yuan's actions this time seemed small, the meaning behind it was rather heavy.
It was pretty much using its own strength to challenge the clan system!
This was something that the academy elders did not want to see at all. He raised the clan's new hope, not the clan's traitor. Yet despite knowing Fang Yuan had left and challenged his baseline, he knew that he could do nothing to deal with the matter.
If he really did, the first person who would not let go was the clan head. The second and third people who opposed him were Gu Yue Chi Lian and Gu Yue Mo Chen.
The clan head placed all his hopes on Gu Yue Fang Zheng, as Fang Zheng was the only A-grade talent in three years. The clan leader needed a tenacious and independent genius, not a fragile and tender flower to be cared for.
At the same time for Chi Lian and Mo Chen, they also placed their hopes on their respective grandchildren, hoping that their grandchildren would grow up amidst setbacks and frustrations.
If the academy elders acted and replaced the students in punishing Fang yuan, once word got out then there would be a saying "the future successors of the Mo and Chi families could not defeat Fang Yuan and could only let the elders help them."
How unpleasant that is.
This would definitely be a huge blow to the fame and honor of the Mo and Chi families.
Of course the academy elders were not afraid of the little Fang Yuan, but he was instead worried that his intervention would draw pressure from the three sides of the – clan heads, the Mo and Chi lineages. They were pretty much composed of almost the entire high authority of Gu Yue. As a lowly elder, how could he possibly survive?
“Their matter is still back to Fang Yuan's secret. What did he rely on to break through to the middle stage? ” The academy elder held back the fire in his heart and set his gaze to the three investigative reports on his desk.
The first report showed extensive info about Fang Yuan's family background.
Fang Yuan was born into a good family; there was nothing strange about his identity and his life experience was very clean and clean. Both of his parents have died and he was taken in by his uncle and aunt. However they did not get along, and ever since he had attended the academy, Fang Yuan had always stayed in the academy's dormitory.
The second report was about Fang Yuan's life records.
He had shown early intelligence during his junior years, and was viewed optimistically by the clan members, predicted as a possible A-grade talent. However after the Resurrection Ceremony, he was tested to become a C-class, greatly disappointing the clan.
The third report was about Fang Yuan's recent footsteps.
His daily life patterns are very simple, and he has a rigid schedule. During the day he would always attend lessons at the academy, and at night he would always sleep in the dormitory. He was extremely hardworking in his cultivation, and would always enter Master Gu's cultivation every night, nurturing his aperture. There were times when he went to the only inn in the village to enjoy better food and buy wine to drink.
She has a special affection towards wine, and loves to drink green bamboo wine. Under his dorm bed, he kept dozens of pots of green bamboo wine.
The elder of the academy looked carefully again at the three reports, his heart forming a deeper impression of Fang Yuan again.
“Both of his parents died early, and he couldn't get along with his uncle and aunt.It's no wonder this bad boy Fang Yuan has no sense of belonging towards the clan. He was personally crowned as a genius amongst all by the clan, yet they also personally plucked it from the sky and threw it to the earth ... No wonder he was so wild and unruly, and so cold and detached. His life was very simple and he was diligent in cultivating. This he held his breath, unwilling to admit, he wanted to prove his ability to the clan! So that's why when I pressed him, he hit back very hard ... "
As soon as the academy elder carefully thought up to this point, he could not help but sigh.
The more he learned about Fang Yuan, the more he understood Fang Yuan.
Of course, understanding does not mean forgiving. Fang Yuan opposed him, insulted his dignity, refused to become the class president, and even blackmailed his classmates. These were things he could not tolerate.
Shaking the information in his hand, the academy elder frowned again. “Although these reports were detailed, they had nothing to do with the secret of Fang Yuan's progress. It's been a few days, these people are terrible! ”
Bum, boom, boom.
At this moment, a knocking sound rang out at the door.
"Come in," said the academy elder.
Door opens.
It was the clan head, Gu Yue Bo's personal bodyguard. "The clan leader has an order, esteemed elder, please hurry to the main family pavilion, there are matters to discuss."
“Oh, what's up?” The elder of the academy stood up from his seat, he felt the weight of the matter from the tone and expression of the guard.
"Master Gu of rank four Master Jia Fu has returned, his brother Jia Jin Sheng has disappeared!" The guard answered.
"Just ..." The academy elder directly inhaled a breath of cold air.

(1) This analogy is unique to the author. I translate as closely as possible, yes ... Something about how basically the two colors in the sky fused like an emperor 'sleeping' with his concubine.
(2) Salad sauce is a Chinese wordplay that is very difficult to contextualize. ( ⁇ Zen Me Ban and Liang Ban, are homophones with the character 'Ban' so it is a commonly used phrase when people do not know how to answer the question "How?".)
