Chapter 1505: Chapter 566: Clash—Master and Disciple Reversed [4,600 Words]
Before Ren Zhong and Yang Misi arrived, the dean and a few others surreptitiously spied on and overheard their conversation through surveillance.
"Something seems off, their conversation doesn’t seem to go smoothly."
"Sigh. Indeed. This is going to be difficult."
"If Yang Misi also fails to keep Ren Zhong, we are out of tactics."
"What a pity. To be honest, although Mr. Yang once stood at the pinnacle of academia, now it’s almost impossible to get any residual heat out of him. Are ancient people outdated?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don’t say that. They’re coming."
In the meeting room, these people whispered among themselves, each harboring a layer of gloom about the future.
Ren Zhong and Yang Misi entered the meeting room side by side, their steps in unison, almost simultaneously crossing the threshold of the Far Border Branch building.
This scene made the dean of the Far Border Branch and other senior management, who had come downstairs in advance to greet them in the lobby, twitch their eyelids.
Earl Red Blade indeed fears no tiger, being a newborn calf.
No matter how unsuccessful Yang Misi is now, or how his once students have been buried in the long river of history, he is after all a sage from a million years ago, the leader of the academic clan of his time. Whether in academia or politics, the status of this living fossil, Yang Misi, is indisputable.
Thus, even if they dared not go to the dock to receive him out of fear of saying the wrong thing, they still had to come downstairs respectfully, observing the etiquette due to seniors.
Yet, Earl Red Blade dared to do well, regardless of physical age. Not counting the time since his appearance on Source Star until now, it hasn’t reached two hundred years. Where did he get the courage to walk alongside Mr. Yang, without being inferior?
Everyone harbored doubts in their hearts.
In terms of combat prowess, Earl Red Blade is indeed wildly unpredictable, having even declared a challenge across the Empire’s territory, yet no one dared to confront him for such a long time. In the scientific field, although Ren Zhong’s words are also bold, even daring to critique the scientific concepts of the Royal Academy of Sciences, he usually conducts himself with no faults, amicable with everyone, even benevolent to ordinary scientific workers at the lowest level, never showing arrogance because of his knowledge, being a smooth and kindly veteran.
But now, why does he suddenly seem disoriented?
The dean and others had misjudged Ren Zhong.
He genuinely hadn’t thought about these details.
All because deep within Ren Zhong, there is a subconscious belief that, looking across the Ancient Disk Galaxy, in terms of seniority and leveraging old age, as a legitimate Earthling, he is not targeting anyone; it’s just that all present are younger siblings compared to him.
Fortunately, at this moment, Yang Misi was still preoccupied analyzing the numerous questions Ren Zhong had thrown out earlier, especially when leaf-shaped ships with subspace entered the fold jump subspace channel. The state of spatial structure during the double subspace folding baffled him, igniting his desire to understand this enigmatic phenomenon. He was led astray by Ren Zhong’s few words.
"Welcome, Mr. Yang!"
"Mr. Yang, please come upstairs!"
Dean: "I sincerely apologize, there was a situation at the branch earlier, preventing us from extending a proper welcome. Please, let me lead the way."
Everyone greeted him warmly, yet Yang Misi, who had things on his mind, showed little interest in socializing, merely giving a stiff smile before continuing forward expressionlessly.
Beside Yang Misi, Ren Zhong was no different, expressionlessly walking side by side.
Ren Zhong too was deep in thought.
Having a preliminary understanding of Yang Misi’s character, he wondered how to quickly get him to leave.
He was eager to return to the Nanxiang Star Cluster and had no time to emulate Emperor Liu while patiently visiting the thatched cottage three times.
He simply wanted to stun this man, quickly settling the matter.
Clearly, the earlier questioning about the leaf-shaped warship was insufficient, merely showcasing his academic philosophy without demonstrating capability enough to shock Yang Misi. He needed a new compelling reason.
Finally upstairs, the three parties sat down, with the dean of the Far Border Branch in the center, Ren Zhong and Yang Misi on either side.
As most participants were relatively pure scientific workers, there was little small talk, and both sides swiftly dove into the academic discussion.
This meeting, undoubtedly, revolved around Yang Misi.
Mr. Yang was not shy. Once he regained his state, he immediately followed the original plan, rallied his spirits, preparing to assess the capabilities of this seemingly "successor of knowledge," Earl Red Blade Ren Zhong.
