The woman’s threat made it obvious that Ghost Prison did not take Xiang Chengdong or the Medicine Alliance seriously at all.

After that, the call ended abruptly, leaving Ye Chen and Xiang Chengdong staring at each other.

“Mr. Ye, Ghost Prison is not as simple as you think. To be precise, it doesn’t belong to Huaxia’s martial arts world. This is also the reason why 1 advise you not to barge in.”

“You heard the other party’s tone just now. Although the Medicine Alliance possesses some status and strength in Huaxia’s martial arts world, it’s really nothing in their eyes.”

Ye Chen ignored Xiang Chengdong and opened the car door and got out while muttering, “The day after tomorrow at midnight, at Yunhe Lake in the north of the university. I’ve been waiting for this day!”

Xiang Chengdong watched Ye Chen’s departing figure through the car window and recalled the scene he had witnessed in the alchemy room.

That divine lightning was so terrifying!

Although Ghost Prison was powerful and mysterious, Mr. Ye was not weak either. If he could unleash the same power he had in the alchemy room, Ghost Prison might be the one to suffer.

“Chairman, should 1 drive you back now?”

Xiang Chengdong thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and said, “It’s fine. I’ll walk back to the hotel. It’s not far. You’ll be stationed here for the next few days in case AAr. Ye needs a ride. Remember, don’t offend Mr. Ye.” “Understood.”

The driver nodded and glanced at Xiang Chengdong through the rearview mirror. He had been by Xiang Chengdong’s side for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen the latter so afraid of someone.

After that, Xiang Chengdong got out of the car and disappeared from Capital City University.

Ye Chen returned to the teachers’ apartments, and was about to cultivate when he heard a knock on the door.

He frowned and went to open the door, only to find Wei Ying standing outside.

Wei Ying had changed into a pure white off-shoulder dress and had donned makeup. Puzzled, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Wei Ying smiled and pointed at her phone screen.

“Professor Ye, a few teachers and professors from our school have organized a welcome party to welcome you to the university. Please do us the honor of attending.”

Wei Ying was full of anticipation. She had thought that Ye Chen would definitely agree, but unexpectedly, Ye Chen did not even hesitate to reject her.

“There’s no need for that. 1 like my peace and quiet.”

Wei Ying was startled and her face darkened.

“Professor Ye, it’s just a meal. It won’t take too much of your time. Moreover, we’ve already booked a private room. If Mr. Ye doesn’t attend, then we’ll all be quite embarrassed. After all, you’re the main character of this event.”

Ye Chen glanced at Wei Ying, and then thought of something. He had memorized the voice of the caller earlier, who was most likely a teacher or professor at the university. In that case, it was not a bad thing to meet everyone and see if he could find some clues to this person’s identity.

“In that case, I will go,” Ye Chen said.

After receiving Ye Chen’s reply, Wei Ying quickly scrolled through her phone, replying to the other teachers’ messages.

A few seconds later, Wei Ying said to Ye Chen, “Professor Ye, do you want to change your clothes before we go down together? They’re at the school gate now.”

“There’s no need for that. Let’s go.”

“Alright.”

Wei Ying and Ye Chen walked straight to the school gate. Along the way, they attracted a lot of attention, which showed how popular Wei Ying was at the university.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the school gate, where there were eight people waiting, four men and four women. The men were about thirty to forty years old, while the four women were older than Wei Ying, but still looked quite youthful.

“Wei Ying, over here!”

Several female teachers waved at Wei Ying and Ye Chen enthusiastically, their eyes curiously examining Ye Chen.

Wei Ying quickly brought Ye Chen over and introduced him to the group.

“This is Ye Chen, whom I was talking about in the group just now, the very same one the principal has been praising and talking about recently.”

One of the slightly plump female teachers looked as if she had seen a ghost and exclaimed, “Wei Ying, is he really the professor that the principal mentioned? How is this possible? He looks to be about the same age as my students!” “Sister Qiu, do 1 look like I’m lying to you?” Wei Ying explained with a smile, “He lives opposite me, and the principal specifically said that the room was reserved for the new professor.”

Hearing this, everyone had no choice but to believe, though their expressions were still full of shock.

As soon as he said this, everyone believed in Ye Chen’s identity.

Another bespectacled teacher reached out her hand and said to Ye Chen, “Professor Ye, my name is Zheng Rui. I’m a teacher from the French Department. I didn’t expect you to be so young. It seems that you’ve got quite the future ahead of you in academia. Oh right, Mr. Ye, which university did you graduate from?”

Upon hearing this question, Ye Chen recalled the details written on the documents that Ying Qing had given him.

“Stanford.”

As soon as these words were said, Ye Chen immediately became the center of the womens’ attention. Seeing this, the four men had gloomy expressions, and stared at Ye Chen with envy and jealousy.

The reason why the four of them were attending this welcome dinner was not because they were interested in Ye Chen, but rather because Wei Ying would be there.

As the dream girl of countless students and teachers in the university, Wei Ying rarely attended gatherings. This time, for a new professor, she actually took the initiative to organize a welcome dinner. How could they not be envious?

More importantly, the principal had given the apartment opposite Wei Ying to Ye Chen!

Who knew what would happen if he got close to Wei Ying?

The four of them had always been single, and one of them had even divorced his wife two months ago, hoping that there would be a chance.

They had asked Wei Ying out for dinner alone countless times, but she had rejected them all!

However, this kid received special treatment as soon as he arrived…

How unfair!

Was it because he was young? What use was that?

In academia, what mattered was qualifications and ability!

Ye Chen naturally sensed the hostility of the four male teachers and shook his head helplessly as he said to everyone, “Let’s go eat. I still have something to do tonight.”

He was not bothered by their hostility. After all, they were just ordinary people.

How could the light of a firefly compete with the brilliance of the moon?

One of the male teachers thought of something and took out a set of Mercedes-Benz car keys. He said, “Professor Ye, may 1 know where your car is parked?”

Even in school, it was normal for teachers to compete financially. This turned everyone’s attention to Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen was talented and rich, he would be the perfect man.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen shrugged and said calmly, “I don’t have a car.”
