Chapter 226: Does He Want To Attract The Enemy?

The Principal took out his good tea from the cabinet and made some for his esteemed guest. Then he sat down and looked at Min Yu. “Young Master Min, how long are you planning to stay here for?”
Min Yu picked up his teacup and blew its contents before taking a sip. “I don’t plan on going back for now.”
The Principal laughed. “Old Master Min called me a couple of days ago.”
The moment he mentioned Old Master Min, a look of guilt emerged on Zhuo Yun’s face while he stood behind Min Yu.
“He’s just bored,” replied Min Yu indifferently leaning against the couch. His nonchalance appeared innately dignified.
The Principal’s lips twitched. Min Yu was probably the only person who would dare to say such things about Old Master Min in the entire capital. He recalled Min Yu and Huo Yao’s conversation, and asked him curiously. “You seem rather close to Huo Yao from our school.”
Min Yu said gently, “Mhm. She used to be my next-door neighbor for a period of time.”
Next door?
The Principal touched his chin. Was Huo Yao not from an average family? How did she end up living next to him?
“Why was she here?” asked Min Yu without noticing the baffled look on the Principal’s face.
With this question, the Principal recalled the vile things that transpired earlier in the day involving the Lu family. He told Min Yu briefly about how Huo Yao got slandered for cheating.
Min Yu’s striking face remained indifferent and seemed rather emotionless. He tilted his head and said intriguingly, “Is the Education Association in the habit of doing whatever they want these days?”
The Principal picked up his teacup and took a sip. He sighed gently and said in a mocking manner, “Plenty of people in the Education Association have started resorting to cheap tricks to get what they want. It’s so common now that I’m resigned to it.”
The Principal paused for a moment and then said, “I’m going to the capital next week. Is there anything you want me to pass along to the Old Master?”
Min Yu looked at him profoundly. “It’s okay. I’m going back next week as well.”
The Principal looked at him in surprise.
“We are putting the Western Zhou jade on display in the cultural relic exhibition hall,” said Min Yu softly.
The Principal suddenly opened his eyes wide. “Why has Old Master Min decided to put the Western Zhou jade on exhibition? Is he trying to cause an uproar in the trade?”
Jade carving technique was at its peak in the history of jade during the Western Zhou period. High-quality jade was rare, so these were priceless.
The Min family’s jade was almost flawless. So many people had their eyes on it in the past, but all their efforts came to no good end.
“Are you going back to guard the antiques in the exhibition hall personally?” The Principal swiftly realized.
“You can say so,” replied Min Yu calmly.
The cultural relic exhibition was held once every two years. All the items on display were rare antiques from across the nation. The Min family was in charge of hosting it since they were the only family capable of ensuring the relics’ safety.
However, no matter how heavily guarded the exhibition was, there were moments when they had been caught off guard. The Principal recalled the incident from two years ago and suddenly had an inkling as to why Old Master Min wanted to display the Western Zhou jade this time.
“Are you trying to attract the enemy with the Western Zhou jade?”
Min Yu’s deep and cold eyes narrowed into sharp slits. “No one can touch our territory and expect to escape unscathed.”
The Principal’s hands trembled. Even though he was much older than Min Yu, he could not withstand the cold murderous aura radiating from this guy.
After he composed himself, he changed the subject. “When are you going back to the capital?”
“Next Friday.” All the coldness in Min Yu’s eyes dissipated, making him seem completely harmless as though that murderous look was nothing but an illusion.
