Dragon Tamer

Chapter 387: Chapter 389 Rebellious Son
The night was dark and the wind was high.

The silhouette of Great Tutor Lin Zhao stretched long in the darkness.

He walked towards the young beasts who, in his eyes, had made no progress whatsoever.

As the head instructor of the Supreme Court, he commanded immense prestige and enjoyed the praise of countless fellow teachers. He had also nurtured numerous talents for the Dragon Taming Academy, continuing to contribute to the Dragon Taming High Court.

His life’s sole disappointment, however, was his son Lin Yan.

Defiant.

Mischievous.

It was one thing to engage in the common frivolities, boastfulness, and arrogance of a spoiled young master, but today he had stooped to such vile behavior, taking advantage of his position for such dirty deeds!

Under the wooden bridge, several people were still there, laughing with bad intentions.

But someone soon saw the approaching figure of Great Tutor Lin Zhao, whose chilling aura seemed capable of freezing the entire bay!

“Lin Yan, Lin Yan,” the young man who saw the Great Tutor cried out with a loss of composure.

“Today, nobody convinces me to stop!” Lin Yan said bluntly.

“What if it’s me?” Great Tutor Lin Zhao approached, casting a shadow that loomed over Lin Yan.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Yan involuntarily shivered all over.

He slowly turned around to face his father’s extremely livid face.

“Father… Father, how come… How did you get here?” Lin Yan was somewhat stunned.

“Slap!!!!” Suddenly, a heavy slap landed on Lin Yan’s face without warning.

Lin Yan staggered several steps backward from the force of the blow.

“Father, I…” Lin Yan hadn’t even had a chance to react.

“Kneel and apologize to the young lady!” Lin Yan roared, lifting another hand and fiercely smacked Lin Yan’s pale, clean face, tilting his whole body backwards.

“I was just… I was just negotiating with her,” Lin Yan got up and tried to argue.

“Do you think I know nothing? Dean He has already told me everything. You abused your position to manipulate others, and even boldly held an engagement banquet, coercing a vulnerable woman to submit to you. How outrageously brazen you are, I, Lin Zhao, have lived a life of integrity, never doing anything against my conscience, yet how could I have borne such a rebellious son!” Great Tutor Lin Zhao’s anger was like a raging wave crashing against the shore.

Raising his palm again, Great Tutor Lin Zhao delivered another slap, growing angrier with each word, the force of his blows almost sending Lin Yan flying.

Teeth fell out and Lin Yan’s mouth was filled with blood.

Li Bo and Lin Yan’s other fair-weather friends were stunned.

Even if Great Tutor Lin Zhao had caught them, a scolding would have been expected, but who would have expected such a heavy hand?

This looked like he was trying to beat Lin Yan to death!

Great Tutor Lin Zhao kept slapping, moving from the edge of the wooden bridge to the sandy beach. Lin Yan’s face swelled from the beating, his eye sockets turned black, and with any more blows, his features might have been disfigured.

Zhu Minglang did not pay attention to this scene and instead walked towards Duan Lan.

Duan Lan was surprised to see Zhu Minglang, but also felt a sense of relief.

“They didn’t do anything to you, did they?” Zhu Minglang asked somberly.

Duan Lan shook her head; these people were unreasonable bullies but had not yet resorted to physical violence against her.

Of course, Duan Lan was no frail woman; she had been ready to fight, knowing that the strength of these spoiled young masters was probably not even a match for hers, and that they only acted so tyrannically because of their powerful backgrounds and influence.

“Why didn’t you tell me about such an encounter?” Zhu Minglang said.

“Facing such harassment by exaggerated and vile people is common when you’re out in the world; I was used to it. I thought Lin Yan was just making empty threats, and given his close relationship with Dean He, I refrained from striking him as a warning. Little did I know he would actually commit such reckless acts,” Duan Lan explained.

I’ve encountered some small-time hooligans, but never someone as brazen and self-righteous as Lin Yan.

Teacher Duan Lan is from Li Chuan Academy, and her strength is not weak now.

“Hearing that Lin Yan was targeting you, I was startled, and I also haven’t seen you come to watch our trials and competition. I was worried you had really been abducted by such villains,” Zhu Minglang said.

“With you around, I know Li Chuan would never be defeated, so I’ve been rallying some new friends from the academy, hoping they could speak out for our Li Chuan Academy and use public opinion to prevent people with ulterior motives like Sun Chong and Dean He from acting too outrageously. We must do something, even if the impact is minimal; I don’t want to give up,” Duan Lan said earnestly.

“Oh, oh, it seems I was over worried,” Zhu Minglang let out a long sigh of relief.

“You know Great Tutor Lin Zhao?” Duan Lan asked, somewhat puzzled. She had just seen Zhu Minglang come over with Great Tutor Lin Zhao.

Zhu Minglang was about to respond when Great Tutor Lin Zhao had already dragged his son, who he had beaten until his nose was blue and face swollen, over.

Great Tutor Lin Zhao appeared gentle and scholarly, but he was extremely rough with his son, forcing Lin Yan to kneel on the sandy ground with one hand.

“Kowtow and apologize!”

“Do it until Zhu Sir and this Miss Duan are satisfied!”

Great Tutor Lin Zhao reprimanded.

Great Tutor Lin Zhao was very heavy-handed.

In fact, he was well aware that this time, his son had really gotten into serious trouble. Had he not been there at that moment, his son might have even lost his life!

No matter how heavy his hand was, it was tantamount to saving his son’s life. How could Great Tutor Lin Zhao be soft-hearted in such a situation??

“Great Tutor, you’ve already disciplined him, and Lin Yan also hasn’t done anything particularly outrageous to me,” Duan Lan spoke up.

Teacher Duan Lan was still kind-hearted.

Great Tutor Lin Zhao glanced at Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang didn’t speak, and Great Tutor Lin Zhao understood, insisting that Lin Yan must kowtow.

Lin Yan, already beaten into submission, couldn’t help but continue to kowtow and apologize.

He kowtowed until his forehead bled.

Considering the matter of Li Chuan Academy, they still needed Great Tutor Lin Zhao’s approval, leaving some face for others, after all, the punishment had already been quite merciless.

“Great Tutor, it’s enough. I think your son must also know his mistake,” Zhu Minglang said.

“A misfortune in the family, alas, it is also my fault for being too engrossed in the affairs of the academy and not properly disciplining this unfilial son. I’ll take him back first and will thoroughly investigate Dean He’s conduct. After handling matters properly, I will surely visit in person to apologize with a gift of contrition. I hope Zhu Sir can take the startled Miss Duan back to rest,” Great Tutor Lin Zhao said.

At that moment, Master Lin wished he could dig a hole in the sand and hide in it.

After finally getting a chance to meet such a young and talented person, such an incident had occurred, leaving Master Lin wondering where to put his old face!

“Alright, thank you for your efforts,” Zhu Minglang bowed his hands.

Great Tutor Lin Zhao bowed deeply and watched Zhu Minglang and Duan Lan leave.

Once they had left, Lin Zhao was also full of bitterness.

Look at the young man; he is already a Dragon King, low-key, restrained, and approachable.

Then look at his own son, what has he done!

Originally, there was finally a chance for a visit, which could have been a good opportunity to repay a favor and get to know someone.

But before one favor could be repaid, another, greater debt of gratitude was owed, leaving such a terrible impression.

Alas, what sins did I commit in my past life?

Why did I end up with such a thing for a son!
