Chapter 5: The Secret Exposed
After returning to the Martial Arts Academy in the afternoon, Shen Lang and Chang Rumo went to the market and the academy cafeteria to have a big meal. It was a feast for their first date. Shen Lang was very happy with the meal because the food in the academy cafeteria was quite good.
Chang Rumo only ate a little rice from beginning to end, and spent the rest of the time looking at her chopsticks with her head down. Her pretty face was as red as a monkey's butt. Apart from the crazy remark "I only want to have one child" in the morning, the rest of the time the aunties in the cafeteria, classmates, and even the martial arts teacher were all staring at her intentionally or unintentionally.
It is indeed a bit difficult for this thin-skinned child.
"Shen Lang, Shen Lang!" At this time, Peng Fei ran in from outside the cafeteria. Seeing Shen Lang eating here, he hurried over.
"Oh , Senior Brother Peng Fei, would you please sit down and eat together?" Shen Lang asked, holding the bowl and chopsticks.
"What are you eating? Do you know that the envoy from the imperial capital has arrived?" Peng Fei was stunned and spoke quickly.
"The envoy from the imperial capital has arrived? What does it have to do with me?" Shen Lang added a vegetable to the bowl and picked up another for Chang Rumo. He said cheerfully, "Eat more. Look how thin you have become!"
Peng Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead: "The envoy from the imperial capital is coming for you!"
"Running for me? What for?" Shen Lang asked after swallowing the vegetables.
"Stop eating and come with me!" Peng Fei became furious when he saw Shen Lang was not in a hurry. He directly dragged Shen Lang out. Chang Rumo also quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and followed him out, followed by a large group of people.
When they arrived at the lobby of the Martial Arts Academy, the dean Wang Changsheng and several middle-aged men were sitting there, chatting and laughing. When they saw Peng Fei dragging Shen Lang here, they stopped chatting and everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Lang.
"He is the fifth-rate master, Shen Lang?" The envoy from the imperial capital spoke. He was a middle-aged man, a little overweight. He stared at Shen Lang with a surprised smile on his face. Although he looked a little funny, he was definitely a fifth-rate master.
"Disciple, greetings to the envoy from the imperial capital, Lord Feng!" Wang Changsheng looked at Shen Lang and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang quickly tidied up his appearance and bowed: "Hello, Lord Feng!"
"Well, the young are formidable!" Lord Feng nodded and turned to look at Wang Changsheng: "Dean Wang, we are in a hurry this time, let's get straight to the point!"
"Okay!" Wang Changsheng nodded.
"Okay!" Lord Feng turned to the person next to him and said, "Take out the things!"
"Yes!" A middle-aged man next to him spoke respectfully, then reached into his pocket with his right hand, took out a black crystal, then walked up to Shen Lang and handed the black crystal to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang reached out to take the black warning, which was cold to the touch, and looked puzzled: "What is this?"
"Disciple, this is a very rare martial energy stone in the empire. It is a stone specially used to detect the energy contained in a warrior's body!" Wang Changsheng introduced.
"It will emit different colors depending on the realm!" Wang Changsheng further explained: "You just need to concentrate on circulating the martial energy in your body and gather it on the weapon stone!"
Now everyone understood that this was someone specially sent by the imperial capital to check whether the information about the twenty-year-old fifth-rate master was accurate. Everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Lang.
Shen Lang held the weapon stone and looked at the fiery gazes of the crowd, and couldn't help swallowing.
Damn it, I'm not some fifth-rate master. That was all caused by AK47. I don't have any martial energy at all. It would be strange if I could make this weapon stone glow.
Shen Lang just tried to let some kind of energy flow to the weapon stone, but he himself didn't even know how to do it!
what to do?
Shen Lang stood in the hall, looked around, saw Wang Changsheng's somewhat puzzled expression, then looked at Lord Feng's expectant look, Chang Rumo stared at him with hope, and at a group of students standing outside the door.
Shen Lang made up his mind, walked up to Lord Feng, returned the weapon stone, and then walked back to his previous position and said, "I don't have martial energy, and I'm not a fifth-rate master!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a drop of water dropped into hot oil. After a brief calm, the pot instantly exploded.
"I told you, how could someone who paid money to get in through the back door be a fifth-rate expert?"
"I have always suspected that there might be something wrong with the test stone tablet that day!"
"Now the truth is out. He is a liar, a complete liar!"
"Such a liar actually deceived the goddess Chang Rumo and also deceived the respected dean. It is a shame for such a person to stay in the academy!"
"Get him out! Get him out!"
The students were very excited. Dean Wang Changsheng didn't look very happy. He waved his hand to let everyone calm down. He looked at Shen Lang and said, "Disciple, please stop joking. This is a serious matter!"
"Master, um!" Shen Lang opened his mouth, then hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I'm not kidding, I really don't have any martial energy, I don't know any martial arts, and I'm not a fifth-rate master!"
"What happened to the test monument that day?" Wang Changsheng continued.
"Uh, maybe there is something wrong!" Shen Lang was a little embarrassed: "Look, I don't have any martial energy on me, how can I be a fifth-rate master! If you don't believe me, just test it again !"
Before Wang Changsheng could take action, Lord Feng next to him stood up from his chair, walked to Shen Lang in one step, grabbed his wrist, and a warm air penetrated into Shen Lang's body, went around, and returned to Lord Feng's hand.
"Oh!" Lord Feng sighed and shook his head gently.
At this moment, Wang Changsheng's face turned completely black, Chang Rumo's pretty face was completely dumbfounded, and everyone's emotions reached an unprecedented height.
"Kick this liar out of the academy!"
"Get him out!"
On this day, Shen Lang was expelled from the Martial Arts Academy. He was kicked out of the academy, and Chang Rumo never showed up again.
"It's over. We've just been dating for one day and we're breaking up!" Shen Lang curled his lips, put his hands behind his back, and returned to the Shen Mansion leisurely as if nothing had happened.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Shen Lang shouted as he entered the door. Then he saw a group of people walking out of the house cursing. When they passed by Shen Lang, they either laughed at him or sneered at him. It was obvious that they had already received the news.
He was simply an ordinary person without any energy at all. The problem with the fifth-rate master was that there was something wrong with the test stele.
If this is the case, their purpose of coming to win over the Shen family has failed. What are they doing here? Are they waiting for dinner?
Shen Feng and Liang Wanrong were standing in the hall. There was no expression on their faces. They just looked at Shen Lang who was standing at the door.
"Dad, Mom, I'm embarrassed for you!" Shen Lang sighed and walked up to them.
Shen Feng didn't say anything, but Liang Wanrong looked at Shen Lang for a long time before speaking.
"Did that girl break up with you?"
