CHAPTER 327: CHAPTER 163: I JUST SIMPLY CRAVE THE FOX DEMON!_2

The two female directors of the Institute of Spirit and the Institute of Plant Cultivation, in particular, felt the sting of humiliation directly.

Who told them to bully an honest person!

Did an honest person desecrate their ancestral graves or something?

After the Director of the Institute of Beast Taming finished his tirade, Su Yan, the center of attention, spoke up.

"Director Chen, there’s no need to get worked up. If I said I’m joining the Institute of Beast Taming, then I am."

"I just hope I’ve made the right choice and can learn genuine skills from you, Director Chen, in the future," Su Yan said with a smile.

This was like giving the Director of the Institute of Beast Taming a calming pill, to prevent him from another uncontrolled outburst.

Upon hearing Su Yan’s words, the Director of the Institute of Beast Taming immediately became excited. "Student Su Yan, rest assured!" he exclaimed.

"My Chen family, I, Chen Huan, will definitely teach you all the beast taming techniques I know without reservation."

"Thank you, Director Chen," Su Yan politely thanked him.

Seeing this, the other three directors couldn’t help but feel greatly disappointed, believing Su Yan would regret his decision sooner or later.

But there was nothing they could do. It was no use trying to persuade him anymore. Further persuasion could really lead to a falling out with the Director of the Institute of Beast Taming. After all, they were all directors at Jingdou University and saw each other regularly. There was no need to strain their relationship to such an extent.

That was easier said than done. However, the Director of the Institute of Qi and Blood felt deeply unwilling and couldn’t understand it. Finally, unable to hold back, he asked Su Yan, "Student Su Yan, can I ask why you insist on joining the Institute of Beast Taming?"

"I just can’t believe it."

"That someone with exceptional talent would forsake a bright evolutionary future for so-called Beast-eared Girls."

"It’s simply outrageous."

The Director of the Institute of Qi and Blood had barely finished speaking when, before Su Yan could even respond, the nearby Director of the Institute of Beast Taming burst out furiously, "Li Shanhai, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean, joining the Institute of Beast Taming is abandoning one’s evolutionary future? You better explain yourself clearly!"

"Otherwise, I’m not done with you!"

At this moment, the anger of the Director of the Institute of Beast Taming erupted. His institute had been slandered again and again. Even a clay Buddha has its breaking point, let alone a man of flesh and blood.

"Don’t think you can bully honest people!"

"When an honest man is enraged, a thousand corpses lie in their wake."

"That saying isn’t just for laughs."

The more the Director of the Institute of Beast Taming thought about it, the angrier he became. Burning with indignation, he couldn’t help but curse again, flushed with anger and shame. It was simply too infuriating.

Seeing this, the Director of the Institute of Qi and Blood quickly apologized with an embarrassed expression, "Director Chen, please don’t get worked up. I, Li Something, didn’t mean that at all. It’s all a misunderstanding."

After saying this, he looked at Su Yan again and asked, "Student Su Yan, can you tell me the real reason you’re joining the Institute of Beast Taming?"

Hearing this, Su Yan couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. Then, with a hint of sorrow, he said, "Ah, the past is too painful to look back on."

As he spoke, his face was filled with sorrow. Clearly, this was a young man with a story.

Seeing this, the Director of the Institute of Qi and Blood thought to himself that it must be true. This student’s insistence on joining the Institute of Beast Taming must indeed have deep-rooted reasons, not simply for the sake of Beast-eared Girls.

So he thought. Though old, he was young at heart. He turned to Su Yan again and asked, somewhat curiously, "Student Su Yan, would you be willing to share the reason with everyone?"

As soon as the Director of the Institute of Qi and Blood finished speaking, everyone immediately pricked up their ears. This was because not only the Director of the Institute of Qi and Blood but everyone present was extremely curious. An Shihua and Qin Yao, in particular, were practically bursting with curiosity.

When they first heard Su Yan say he wanted to join the Institute of Beast Taming, both girls had been stunned.

What on earth was going on? they wondered. Did he really want Beast-eared Girls that badly? If he really wanted them, they could totally buy props and dress up! Fluffy cat ears, fox ears, fluffy cat paws, fox tails—they could arrange it all. A new set every day, never repeating! So... why join the Institute of Beast Taming?

But now, hearing Su Yan say he had his reasons, the two girls immediately widened their beautiful eyes and perked up their ears. They were incredibly curious about what those reasons could be. What could possibly make such an outstanding genius willingly choose to join the Institute of Beast Taming, an institute generally spurned by top students? The reason behind it was undoubtedly a huge piece of gossip, perhaps even related to the secret of becoming a genius!

Meanwhile, on stage, seeing everyone so interested, Su Yan decided not to keep them in suspense any longer. Under the watchful eyes of the audience below, he first walked to the edge of the stage and stopped. Then, with a deliberately theatrical air, he looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

Then, with a sorrowful expression, he said, "During the summer vacation after my first year of high school, I was home, bored stiff, so I set off on a long journey by myself."

"I wandered aimlessly, on and on, eventually finding myself in a remote and desolate mountain forest."

"You see, I’ve been a jinx since I was a child. I can choke on water, gag while eating, and even trip frequently while just walking."

"And yet, unlucky as I am, I dared to venture into a deserted mountain forest all by myself."

"Sure enough, it wasn’t long before I encountered something extremely unlucky and terrifying."

"Guess what I encountered?"

As he spoke, Su Yan suddenly paused, deliberately building suspense for the crowd.

Seeing this, everyone immediately played along, shaking their heads and saying they didn’t know.
