Chapter 162: An Xiyu's Request
"Professor Guo has been teaching for so many years, his students are not only SR but also SSR, and even UR! The future of those students is boundless, especially the SSR and UR; they become the key cultivation targets of the Jiuzhou Alliance as soon as they graduate. Without the corresponding professional qualities, they still occupy various important positions, and then they turn around to issue orders to people like Professor Guo, pointing fingers at him."
An Xiyu's voice was already filled with anger.
Although Professor Guo is the chief defense officer of Liangzhou's border, he still has to obey the commands of the Jiuzhou Alliance. His students who are at SSR and UR levels easily climb to incredibly high positions, becoming the leaders' team.
Xiang Beifei asked curiously, "How do you know they are using Professor Guo for their tasks?"
"He told me himself!" An Xiyu said solemnly, "There are always some prodigal sons who think that because they have high talent, they can do as they please and get any person they desire. But when they can't get what they want, they become furiously embarrassed."
She clenched her fists tightly.
"I will never forget that person. He told me that if he wished, he could even have Professor Guo transferred from his position, demote him, making Professor Guo no more than a subordinate he could call and send like a dog, just a target for completing system tasks. It's hard to believe how much Professor Guo had cared for him, wholeheartedly nurtured him, taught him all he could teach, groomed him into a talent, only to raise an ungrateful wretch."
An Xiyu's knuckles had turned white from her grip.
"Did you compromise?" Xiang Beifei asked.
An Xiyu looked at Xiang Beifei, icy to the extreme.
Xiang Beifei said, "From what you're saying, that person leveraged Professor Guo to threaten you, to force you into some compromise?"
An Xiyu snorted coldly, neither admitting nor denying it.
Xiang Beifei asked again, "What's the name of that person? What is his system level?"
"What if you know? You're so weak now, you can't do anything, and you're unlikely to ever reach his heights. He's an SSR, possibly someone you could never catch up to in your lifetime," An Xiyu said coldly.
"SSR?"
Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment, then let out a light laugh.
Just a few days ago, an SSR newcomer named Hou Chengwu, who had wanted to cause trouble for him, had been basically crippled.
Hou Chengwu, relying on his high talent, was unwilling to attend the same school as Xiang Beifei who was an N level, and had refused Liangzhou University last minute to go to Qingzhou University. He even followed a teacher from Qingzhou University to provoke Elder Luo, intending to strip him of his cultivation.
If Xiang Beifei wanted, this SSR would remain nothing but a piece of trash for the rest of his life.
He never cared what the other party's system talent was.
SSR or UR, there was no difference in his eyes.
If they annoyed him, he couldn't be bothered to fleece them, he would simply shear them bald!
"Tell me the name, so I can keep an eye out and guard against him in the future," Xiang Beifei said.
In fact, his real intention was to get the name, keep an eye out, and one day cripple that guy!
Professor Guo is a person worthy of respect; in Xiang Beifei's eyes, he is just like Elder Luo, a venerable elder. If an elder gets bullied, the younger generation has to step in and help out.
A peculiar light appeared in An Xiyu's eyes as if she was contemplating Xiang Beifei's words.
"His name is Wu Shixuan, an SSR Awakener, graduated two years ago and works at the Alliance's Defense Headquarters," An Xiyu said.
Professor Guo is merely the command chief of Liangzhou's frontline defense, but Wu Shixuan holds a position at the Jiuzhou Alliance's Defense Headquarters, one rank higher.
"Got it, Wu Shixuan."
Xiang Beifei noted down the name.
An Xiyu looked at Xiang Beifei, "I don't understand what kind of person you are, so I won't trust you. By telling you all this, I only hope that Elder Luo's decision to take you as an apprentice is a correct one. Professor Guo and Elder Luo, they have a relationship of life and death, often bicker on normal days, but they are the types that would take a knife in the ribs for each other."
"I can see that," Xiang Beifei said.
Elder Luo would go to such lengths to trick Professor Guo, and Professor Guo would only curse a bit and then agree; the relationship between the two old men is solid indeed.
"I hope you understand what kind of predecessors you've encountered. Elder Luo when he gets angry, acts more directly than Professor Guo. Once on the battlefield, an SSR disobeyed orders and he killed him on the spot, but it also caused him a lot of trouble.
Elder Luo likes to live freely. He doesn't like the confinement of rules and regulations. When pressure is applied from above, he leaves without a second word, not willing to take their nonsense, and they don't dare say anything more, because Elder Luo is very powerful, with the ability to command in battle, so they don't dare to stop him.
But Professor Guo is unwilling to retire. With his strength and experience, he could take up an even higher position within the Alliance, certainly higher than Wu Shixuan! But he refused. He likes working on the frontlines, Liangzhou University is close to the wilderness beyond the domain, where he can train students and also guard the border, maintaining Jiuzhou's line of defense, to prevent the tragedy that happened to him from befalling other families."
"He stays on the frontline position, with formidable strength but not a high rank! Thus, he must heed the arrangements of the Alliance headquarters, even if he feels aggrieved, he bears it. But he has said that even if there's only one student out of ten who is influenced by him, who develops a sense of duty as a guardian, then his effort is not wasted."
An Xiyu was full of reverence for Professor Guo with every sentence she spoke. She too yearned to become someone like Professor Guo, to take over his mantle and properly guard the Alliance's frontline."
