From the Celestial King's perspective, Lin Xuan's future was over. This was the perfect opportunity to strike, and he would not let him get away this time.
But just then, the Headmaster of the Heavenly Dao Academy stepped out. "What brings you here, Celestial King?" he asked.
The Celestial King snorted coldly. "I am here to deal with that Lin Xuan, of course. Surely you aren't still planning to protect him? His future is already gone."
"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed," the Headmaster said, shaking his head. "Lin Xuan is no longer at our Heavenly Dao Academy. He has left."
"Left? How is that possible?" The Celestial King didn't believe a word of it. He's lying to me. He's still trying to protect Lin Xuan.
He said, "I've had men posted at every exit of the Heavenly Dao Academy. None of them saw the boy leave. He must still be here. You won't be able to protect him this time."
