103: Chapter 103 The Black-Robed Bureau Chief Arrives! Chen Lin Angrily Searches for the Mastermind

"Oh? So you're looking for trouble?"

"You can't go in." The guard snatched the registration book away.

Director Fei Ming stood there, scratching his head awkwardly. Finally, he pulled one out from his pocket and said kindly, "Here, young man, light this up..."

"Don't pull that stunt."

The guard quickly pushed it away, then sighed helplessly, "Old man, I really don't understand. You're at your age, why are you coming here to cause trouble?"

"And you're going after Chen Lin?"

"Why would you mess with someone like Young Master Lin?"

Clearly, the guard also knew Chen Lin.

There was no helping it; this year's freshmen were just too strong!

Gong Ling of the Gong family, along with numerous other prodigies.

Yet Chen Lin had managed to suppress them all, becoming the undisputed number one among the freshmen. It was hard not to know his name.

Furthermore, he had spearheaded the repatriation of all the foreign students in the school.

Such a great achievement had long since spread throughout the entire security guard circle.

Now, if you grabbed any security guard and asked, they would give a thumbs up at the mention of Chen Lin.

To be honest, those foreign students were usually arrogant and domineering, and the security guards couldn't stand them either.

Relying on their special status, they were difficult to manage.

This move by Chen Lin not only vented the students' frustrations but even made the guards feel satisfied.

Hearing an old man shouting at the gate that he wanted to mess with Chen Lin, the security guard was immediately displeased.

But Director Fei Ming was righteous and indignant: "Why can't I go after him? That Chen Lin is nothing but a bully. Hasn't he bullied enough people?"

"Murdering people and harvesting their stomachs!"

"Such a young student, why would he take their stomach?"

"And beating up over a hundred charitable individuals in the Underground Street!"

"If that's not a complete bully, what is?"

"As a top-tier power in the Great Xia, shouldn't Lixian Academy uphold justice?"

"Are you intentionally condoning him just because Chen Lin has talent?"

"I don't care what you think. Since you won't deal with this bully Chen Lin, then I, Director Fei Ming, will!"

Director Fei Ming raised the immortal artifact in his hand and shouted with a look of righteousness.

It was one-thirty in the afternoon, and people were coming and going at the school gate.

With Director Fei Ming causing such a scene, it immediately attracted a large crowd of students to stop and watch.

Hearing the matter described so seriously, the security guard lost his confidence.

He didn't know the specific details of the mission Chen Lin and the others had carried out. Seeing Director Fei Ming's look of integrity, he was truly intimidated and quickly reported it to his superiors.

As a top-tier academy, if Chen Lin had really done such a thing, he would inevitably be punished and expelled, no matter how high his talent was.

The news was reported up the chain of command, and as soon as they heard it involved Chen Lin, it immediately alarmed Representative Luo Hong of the Admissions Department.

Representative Luo Hong rushed to the scene. After listening to Director Fei Ming's exaggerated account, he was completely bewildered.

Wait... when did Chen Lin ever do such a thing?

Thinking carefully, Representative Luo Hong suddenly remembered that some time ago, Chen Lin had asked him for a god-level martial skill, Sandstorm.

It seemed to be related to the Underground Street at the time.

But wasn't the original intention for Chen Lin to clear out the criminal forces?

How did it become Chen Lin the bully, picking on innocent underground leaders in Director Fei Ming's version?

Is this right? Looking at the furious Director Fei Ming, Representative Luo Hong immediately understood: someone was targeting Chen Lin!

"Sir, don't be hasty."

"You've been used as a pawn in this matter."

"And your Black Robe Inspection Bureau has also been used as a pawn."

Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Chen Lin had just finished lunch and hadn't even had a chance to drink any water when he heard someone say there was a disturbance outside the school.

They were even threatening to cause trouble for him. He heard the person was none other than the Director of the Black Robe Inspection Bureau!

"Damn, they really dare to come to my door?"

"I think he's tired of living!"

Chen Lin clenched his fists and looked down at the three shivering Lakami who had been subdued.

Ignoring them, he waved his hand, "Let's go. Let's go see who has the guts!"

Wang Gu and the others immediately followed.

But when the group arrived at the school gate, they only saw an old man with white hair and beard holding an artifact, standing there awkwardly scratching his head.

Opposite him, Representative Luo Hong was speaking to him with a helpless expression.

"Brother Lin, what's the situation?"

"Did Representative Luo Hong smooth things over for you?" Gong Ling asked, puzzled.

"It certainly looks like it!"

"Wait, Brother Lin, did you give something to Representative Luo Hong? Why is he helping you so much?" Wang Gu asked, looking shocked.

Chen Lin rolled his eyes at him, walked up, and looked Director Fei Ming up and down before asking, "Representative Luo Hong, what's this about?"

"Uh... it's a bit complicated. Old Master Fei has been used as a pawn by someone."

"Simply put, someone fed him false information. He thought you were a bully and, upholding the rules of the Black Robe Inspection Bureau, came to bring you to justice..."

Chen Lin sneered, "I see."

He could tell at a glance that Director Fei Ming was very old. Although his cultivation level was high, as a martial artist, he was already past his prime.

Now, he had the cultivation level but his vitality was a mess, and the Source Energy in his body was scarce.

Someone like this could at most shine a few times before failing.

And he was trying to play the hero?

"Representative Luo Hong, is this Black Robe Inspection Bureau an official organization?" Chen Lin asked.

"No, I checked. It's just a group of self-proclaimed righteous people from the civilian sector. Not an official organization."

"Otherwise, Old Master Fei wouldn't have come charging over here just based on one-sided hearsay, without any official channels to verify the information," Representative Luo Hong explained.

The Great Xia doesn't actually allow the existence of such civilian organizations.

Because of the universal martial arts... without official status, official channels, or official procedures, these kinds of civilian organizations are the easiest to be used as pawns by those with ulterior motives!

After all, he had nowhere to verify the information he received! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was being led by the nose from start to finish.

"Um... Student Chen Lin, I am truly sorry."

"Representative Luo Hong has already shown me the file on your mission."

"I also know that you went to wipe out criminal forces to seek justice for the murdered students."

"I was too reckless this time."

Director Fei Ming's attitude was very sincere as he apologized earnestly, his face full of embarrassment.

Seeing that his attitude was decent enough, Chen Lin didn't hold it against him anymore.

He was a martial general, not a murderer.

"Fine. You should just disband that Black Robe Inspection Bureau of yours as soon as possible."

"These days, when people have issues, they go to the Patrol Bureau. It's not your place."

After saying this, Chen Lin turned to look at Representative Luo Hong, his expression instantly darkening.

From the conversation just now, he understood that someone was deliberately plotting against him behind his back!

Therefore, the truly detestable one wasn't Director Fei Ming, but the person hiding in the shadows pulling strings.

You bastard, daring to mess with me? You've kicked a steel plate!

Chen Lin's face hardened: "Representative Luo Hong, can you find out who is behind this?"

Representative Luo Hong pondered for a moment: "Hmm... having just heard from Old Master Fei, I deduce that the person behind this might be from the military district."

"This matter... I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle." The military district?
