Chapter 43 is in the newspaper.
Lanzhi Academy, Dean's Office.
A blue-haired noblewoman dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing gold eyeshadow was sitting leisurely at her desk.
Her legs were elegantly crossed, forming a cross-legged posture that exuded confidence and arrogance, while the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose perfectly highlighted her intellectual beauty.
This person is none other than Lu Yuan, the current dean of Lanzhi Beast Taming Academy.
At the same time, she also has another identity that no one in Lanzhi City dares to provoke: she is the younger sister of Lu Liang, the current city lord of Lanzhi City, and the aunt of Lu Yutang.
Lu Yuan gently held a stemmed glass in her left hand, filled with a deep red, unidentified wine. She slowly brought the glass to her lips, took a small sip, and savored the wine's rich flavor and unique aroma.
"Eek~"
Lu Yuan let out a satisfied groan. Every day after finishing her morning work, she would habitually have a glass of fine red wine.
At the same time, her right hand reached for a stack of newspapers on the desk, today's "Lanzhi Morning Post," which had been placed there by a servant earlier.
Lu Yuan casually picked up the newspaper, and just as she was about to start flipping through it to find something that interested her, her gaze suddenly froze.
"puff--"
Lu Yuan choked on her mouth unexpectedly, as if she were frozen in place by the bold, red, and large headline on the cover, not even noticing the red wine dripping from her lips onto her clothes.
"The most promising year ever! Lan Zhiyuan's second team's newest member makes his debut!! Defeats league king Lin Feiyan in the rankings!!!"
boom--!
The wine glass slipped from Lu Yuan's hand, making a crisp sound as it shattered.
However, the director of Lanzhi Academy didn't care at all. He stood up from his chair with a "whoosh," gripped the edge of the newspaper tightly with both hands, his knuckles almost turning white from the force, and stared wide-eyed as if possessed, repeatedly checking the contents of the report.
The more I looked, the more excited and thrilled I became.
After a long while, Lu Yuan clenched her fists and shed tears of joy: "Fuck your mother!"
"Thank our ancestors, our Lan Zhi Academy is finally going to rise above our circumstances!"
"Damn, no wonder those bitches from Burning Heaven Academy suddenly agreed to play a practice match with us last night. We'd tried to arrange it so many times before but couldn't!"
"That's really unfair, they cheated me out of all those skill cards."
Although she verbally criticized the Burning Heaven Academy for its dishonest actions, Lu Yuan was secretly overjoyed.
Just as Lu Yuan was wringing his hands, plotting when to call Xue Youyou to his office for a meeting and to get closer to her, the dean's office door was kicked open with a "bang".
"Which bastard is this! He's really gone too far, daring to kick down the dean's office door?!"
Just as she was happily indulging in her fantasies, she was rudely interrupted. Lu Yuan instinctively let out a roar, thinking it was another prankster from one of the students.
However, when she looked up, her gaze shifted from the newspaper, and she saw who had come to the door, she was instantly startled. Her mind went blank for a moment, her knees went weak, and she almost knelt down.
The next second, Lu Yuan's expression changed in a flash, adopting a fawning one as she scrambled forward to greet him: "Oh, Lord Qingming!"
"What an honor to have you here! What brings you here?"
Lu Yuan's mood plummeted from heaven to hell; she was drenched in sweat, never expecting Meng Tianxiang to visit her at this time.
Her mouth is truly a curse.
For the first time, Lu Yuan felt a strong urge to sew her own mouth shut.
No one can withstand the wrath of an ultimate beast tamer, not even her sister, the city lord, can protect her.
It's important to know that throughout the long history of Yuelan Prefecture, the appearance of the phrase "Ultimate Beast Tamer" has almost always been directly linked to major disasters on the level of city annihilation.
Powerful, capricious, and capricious... this is the impression people have of the ultimate Beastmaster.
Meng Tianxiang glanced at Lu Yuan: "I thought you wanted to die."
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
Lu Yuan didn't dare to meet Meng Tianxiang's gaze, but instead lowered her head and gave a sheepish laugh: "Please sit down, sir..."
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, she belatedly noticed the wine stains on the chair and the shards of glass next to the chair leg, and was momentarily speechless with embarrassment.
Meng Tianxiang didn't say anything after seeing it. She noticed the wine stains on Lu Yuan's chest when she entered the room, and combined with Lu Yuan's tone when she entered, she thought that Lu Yuan had probably gone crazy here just now.
Her timing was really unfortunate.
Not wanting to make things difficult for Lu Yuan, Meng Tianxiang waved her hand and said, "There's no need for you to sit down. I just came to ask you something."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the ultimate beast tamer wasn't as difficult to get along with as rumored. She then took the initiative to fawn over him, saying, "Aww... Your Excellency wants to ask about your granddaughter, right?"
"I've been keeping an eye on Meng Yanqing. It's no exaggeration to say that she's an extremely talented beast tamer. I've arranged for her to be the captain of the academy's second team, where she and my niece, Lu Yutang, will focus on their training. I believe that next year..."
Lu Yuan paused for a moment, thinking of Xue Youyou, and then immediately changed her words, smiling broadly as she said, "I believe that in this Yuelan League, we will be able to create new history for Lanzhi Academy."
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, she thought Meng Tianxiang would ask some more questions about Meng Yanqing.
However, to Lu Yuan's surprise, Meng Tianxiang simply nodded indifferently after hearing this, her expression revealing no emotion whatsoever: "Well, but the reason I came here this time is not about Yan Qing."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. Before she could regret her foolish attempt to guess the emperor's intentions, she quickly and respectfully said, "What does Your Excellency wish to ask? I will answer whatever I know."
Without further ado, Meng Tianxiang stated the purpose of her visit directly: "I want to learn about a student from Lanzhi Academy."
Meng Tianxiang's voice was calm and deep, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"Huh?" Lu Yuan was increasingly puzzled, finding it hard to believe that a high-ranking ultimate beast tamer would be interested in a student. She chuckled twice and said, "Which student is so fortunate as to have caught your attention? Do I know them?"
Meng Tianxiang stared coldly at Lu Yuan, as if she could see through every thought in her heart.
She paused for a moment, then slowly uttered three words: "Xue Youyou".
"ah?!"
Lu Yuan's voice suddenly rose, as if struck by lightning, and her expression instantly became somewhat out of control: "Xue Youyou?!"
This name was obviously an accident for Lu Yuan. She never expected that the student Meng Tianxiang was paying attention to would be Xue Youyou.
Meng Tianxiang noticed Lu Yuan's reaction, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of danger.
She clasped her hands together, gently rubbing her fingers together, making a soft sound that was particularly clear in the quiet room: "Oh? Your reaction suggests you know something?"
Meng Tianxiang's voice remained calm, but the oppressive feeling within it sent a chill down Lu Yuan's spine.
Now, even if Lu Yuan was slow-witted, she could sense that Meng Tianxiang's intentions were not friendly. She wondered how her newly discovered genius student had offended this living Buddha.
Lu Yuan's throat felt dry. She swallowed hard, but decided to try and cover for Xue Youyou, stammering, "I...I've only heard of her..."
Lu Yuan's clumsy acting skills naturally did not escape Meng Tianxiang's eyes. Before Lu Yuan could finish speaking, Meng Tianxiang's voice became stern: "Tell me everything you know. If you dare to hide anything..."
"There's no need to open Lan Zhi Yuan!"
