"Old Thing!"
The complexion of the first four divisions' House Master turned ashen in an instant, his teeth clenched in anger at the fifth division's House Master. In the entire Martial House, he was the most shameless and unreasonable of them all.
"Still glaring at me? Do I have flowers on my face or what?" The fifth division's House Master's attitude was utterly unreasonable, yet it was this very demeanor that caused a dramatic shift in how the new students, including Su Mu, perceived him.
Who wouldn't like such a protective Old Man? Most of the new students who had just arrived had no backing, and with a House Master like this to protect them, they all felt more at ease.
Even Su Mu found the Old Man somewhat endearing.
"Hua Old Man, are you really going to protect that scum?" The four House Masters were so angry their faces twisted. Even if they didn't want to provoke Hua Lingfeng, the shameless one, they still had their reputations to consider.
"Scum? Pah!" Hua Lingfeng spat directly at the four, a perfect arc of ancient phlegm that not only turned the four House Masters' faces green but also disgusted Su Mu and the others.
"Blathering nonsense without knowing the whole story, you've been so blinded by a few villains, I think you're senile enough to be buried!"
"Hua Old Man, damn it, can't you speak properly!" The four House Masters exploded with curses, outraged that he would curse them to death!
"Yuyue, tell them what really happened!" Hua Lingfeng rolled his eyes and gestured for Tian Yuyue to explain.
Tian Yuyue nodded, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at the four instructors. No wonder she had been silent all the way; she had been waiting to cause trouble at the academy, despicable villains!
"Four House Masters, don't be deceived by those villains. Here's what really happened..."
After Tian Yuyue recounted the whole incident, the faces of the four instructors were extremely ugly. They had intended to divert attention, but their plan backfired spectacularly.

"Su Mu is so young and has already condensed Sword Intent?"
"It's just a pity that his Fate Palace is so trashy."
"That Su Yilong truly deserved to die!"
The staff of the first four divisions couldn't help but exclaim in shock, looking at Su Mu with disbelief in their eyes.
The four House Masters also couldn't help but flash a look of surprise at Su Mu, which turned into pity. They had never seen such a monstrous talent in their lives, but unfortunately, his Fate Palace was too inferior, wasting such high swordsmanship talent.
"Bastards!" They then turned their furious gaze to the four instructors, outraged at being fooled and used as pawns. How dare they!
"House Masters, we beg for mercy!" The four instructors were so scared they quickly bowed and trembled.
"Let's get through the recruitment first, then we'll settle the score with you!" The four House Masters coldly huffed and waved their sleeves. Hearing this, the four breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they would be safe after the matter was settled later.
They were the strongest of the first four divisions; they couldn't let the fifth division laugh at them. Surely, the matter would just pass.
If they could think of this, Hua Lingfeng could see it too. His brow furrowed; did they really think they could just let this go?
"You four Old Things, you're just going to let it go after being fooled by your own people?"
"Hua Old Man, recruitment is the priority. Are you trying to cause trouble?" The first division's House Master immediately rebuked, pinning a big hat on him.
But Hua Lingfeng was clearly not a pushover, he chuckled: "Cause trouble during recruitment? I wouldn't dare."
"However... those four dared to slander my students, which is the same as slandering my fifth division!"
With a fierce look in his eyes, Hua Lingfeng charged towards the four instructors!
"Hua Old Man, you dare!" The four House Masters shouted in shock, not expecting Hua Lingfeng to actually make a move, but it was too late to stop him.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Four muffled sounds were heard, and the four instructors were sent flying, crashing into the wall and falling to the ground, unconscious without even a groan!
"Hua Old Man, you dare hit our division's instructors!" The four House Masters were so angry their hair stood on end as they glared at Hua Lingfeng.
"They deserved it!" Hua Lingfeng glared back defiantly, even provocatively waving his fist.
"Today I did hit them, and if you're itching for a fight, I wouldn't mind loosening your bones!"
The four House Masters' faces turned green, but they really didn't dare to take action against Hua Lingfeng. He could afford to be reckless, but they had many disciples and couldn't afford to be so rash.
Moreover, the Vice House Master wouldn't turn a blind eye. If they were accused of disrupting the recruitment, the loss would outweigh the gain.
"Old fools!" The four could only angrily wave their sleeves and turn back.
Seeing them leave, Hua Lingfeng snorted arrogantly before returning to his seat.
"House Master, that was impressive!" Tian Yuyue approached with a smile, giving him a thumbs up.
Hua Lingfeng just gave her a look, this troublemaker.
"Thank you, House Master." Seeing Hua Lingfeng looking over, Su Mu raised his hand in thanks. This truly vented his frustration, and aside from being a bit... unconventional, he was starting to like this adorable little Old Man.
"It's nothing, from now on you're all students of my fifth division. If anyone dares to bully you, this Old Man will definitely stand up for you!" After saying that, Hua Lingfeng glanced at the first four divisions, making it clear who his words were for.
"Yes, House Master!" The twenty-plus new students all grinned, standing taller with such a House Master behind them, they were truly fortunate.
"If only this House Master were a bit cleaner." Huang Yiyun couldn't resist such an adorable little Old Man. If only he were cleaner and didn't let his eyes wander, he would be perfect.
The twelve disciples who joined the first four divisions looked at the impressive Su Mu and the others with complex emotions and envy. Now they were starting to regret their initial choices.
The four instructors who were sent flying were quickly carried away by the staff for treatment. With more new students arriving, it wouldn't be good if they saw what had happened.
"Jeez, the fifth division's House Master is too ruthless!"
When they checked the injuries of the four instructors, they couldn't help but be shocked. At least four ribs were broken, and their internal organs were severely damaged. They wouldn't be able to get out of bed for three months!
"Su Mu."
Hua Lingfeng approached Su Mu and suddenly spoke, his face serious.
"House Master." Su Mu wasn't used to this sudden solemnity and saluted with his hand.
"Su Mu, at such a young age you've grasped Sword Intent, proving your extraordinary talent. Even if your Fate Palace is lacking, you can still defy the heavens with your efforts." Hua Lingfeng patted Su Mu's shoulder, encouraging him earnestly. He truly admired Su Mu's character and talent.
He also hoped to see Su Mu create a miracle.
Su Mu was moved, a warm current passing through his heart, and he nodded firmly: "I will not let the House Master down."
Hua Lingfeng nodded and turned to look at Huang Yiyun, his eyes suddenly shining.
"Little girl, your talent is also quite good, and I see your constitution is somewhat different. A seventh-grade Fate Palace can't be your limit. Come, let me examine your body."
Seeing Hua Lingfeng approaching, Huang Yiyun immediately hid behind Su Mu like a frightened bird.
"This Old Man, he's being improper again." Tian Yuyue rolled her eyes helplessly.
The twenty-plus new students also rolled their eyes at Hua Lingfeng's lecherous look, wondering what kind of divine House Master they had encountered.
"Not checking? Well, some other time then." Seeing Huang Yiyun avoiding him, Hua Lingfeng waved his hand nonchalantly and turned to sit at the desk, pretending to nap.
"Yuyue, handle their procedures for them, I'm going to rest."
Huang Yiyun relaxed when she saw Hua Lingfeng close his eyes, making a face at him, the old improper man.
Su Mu watched and couldn't help but smile wryly. This Old Man, with his lecherous look, really deserved a beating.
"A special constitution?" He glanced at Huang Yiyun behind him, a chill in his heart. Hua Lingfeng could see at a glance that Huang Yiyun was different, his insight was incredibly sharp!
