Lady of the Countryside, Chapter 477. The main text of Chapter 477: It's my characters in this chapter. After leaving Liu Guo-woman's small store, Land Yun didn't speak to Wang Shi-yu for the entire evening class—let alone try, as usual, to make himself attractive to her. This is the textual content of Chapter 477 of "Lady of the Countryside." Wang Shi-yu was puzzled throughout the class. How could this man, so inherently careless and aloof, suddenly become so reserved? He seemed completely absorbed in his thoughts, staring blankly at his textbook, as if pondering something important. Yet hesitant to ask, afraid of offending this remarkably self-assured man. She kept glancing at Land Yun throughout the lesson, feeling rather frustrated. Only when the bell for class ended did Wang Shiyu suddenly realize that she had, without realizing it, begun to pay attention to this person's every move, her face turning crimson with embarrassment. Fortunately, Lu Yun hadn't noticed her feelings; otherwise, he would surely have come up with some clever schemes to embarrass her. Lu Yun had been deeply pondering what the ancient figure in his dream had meant by "internal energy." Even when the bell rang, he remained immersed in thought. As Wang Shiyu watched the students one by one file out of the classroom, only she and Liang Hongyu and Lu Yun remained. Glancing over, Liang Hongyu hesitated, looking at Lu Yun with a shy expression, then pushed him gently and whispered, "What are you thinking about? You've gone completely blank—have you been daydreaming about how to charm a pure and lovely girl and then tease her?" Lu Yun suddenly snapped back to awareness, glanced at Wang Shiyu, who was looking at him with disdain, and realized that few students remained in the classroom. He casually said, "Don't be ridiculous—you haven't even gone back to your dorm yet? Do you want me to escort you there?" As he spoke, he glanced toward Liang Hongyu, who was staring at him in surprise, and then offered her a warm smile. "Please don't bother. I really don't want to bring in the wolves—my good friends will surely be at risk if you start treating them badly," Wang Shiyu said, pursing her lips, and then rose, limping slightly as she walked toward the classroom door. Only after Wang Shi Yu had left the classroom did Liang Hongyu approach quickly, her face full of concern, asking, "What's wrong? I've noticed you've been staring off into space for the entire class—has something been on your mind?" Lu Yun hadn't expected that his deep concentration on refining his internal energy would have caused concern in Xiao Yu. A touch of regret flashed across his face as he smiled, "Nothing much. Just thinking about a few things. Tomorrow is the weekend, and I'm wondering whether Uncle Big-Hair has finally managed to prepare the medicine for treating Mr. Liu Tingting's father. That's all—I'm just a little worried, nothing more." Lu Yun had already told Xiao Ying and Xiao Yu about Liu Tingting's situation. Though he hadn't given it much thought at first, he didn't want to reveal the truth to Liang Hongyu—namely, that he had been learning martial arts in his dreams—fearful that she would think he was mentally unwell or affected by some kind of shock. Liang Hongyu looked equally concerned, speaking gently, "You don't need to worry too much. If you can help, that's wonderful. But even if you don't achieve much, don't blame yourself too heavily—after all, you've already done your best." Lu Yun stood up and smiled, "I know. Let's go back to our dormitory. I'll visit Uncle Big-Hair tomorrow." Liang Hongyu nodded and walked out of the classroom beside Lu Yun. After locking the classroom door, she turned to Lu Yun and said, "You go on now. I'll return to my dormitory by myself." Lu Yun agreed and parted ways with Liang Hongyu, heading straight for Tieshenlan's office. He needed to understand exactly what internal energy was. While it was true that his training duration was still short, he didn't think it could be that far off—after all, the martial arts he had learned in his dreams, he simply couldn't believe were so mediocre! Rushing straight to Tie Xinlan's office, Lu Yun was about to push the door open when he heard a rather awkward voice coming from inside: "Teacher Tie, what should I do about this? After all, the person has been injured, and you haven't got any solid evidence—should we file a complaint, it could seriously harm your teaching career. This is content from Chapter 477 of 'Rural Beauty.' " Lu Yun stepped aside, instantly recognizing the voice as the elderly principal—someone he'd always found rather unapproachable. He quietly mused: Why is this old man visiting Tie Xinlan's office so late? Does he have some ulterior motive? As soon as the thought formed, he pressed his ear firmly against the doorframe, listening intently to the conversation inside. Then, Tie Xinlan's voice, full of anger, came through clearly: "Principal, it's obvious you're trying to protect that brute. Invite him here and let me face him directly—let's see what he has to say." "Master Li, you're famously fiery—add to that your iron hands, and even if he had the courage, he'd never dare to confront you face to face." "What then? Does he plan to file a police report?" Iron Xinlan's voice had reached its peak of anger, nearly booming. "Let him file a report—before the police, I won't lay a single hand on him." The Director of the Education Commission quickly intervened, calming down, and said, "This isn't such a big deal—just a few medical expenses. I've actually spent quite a bit of time and effort to keep this matter under control." Iron Xinlan snorted, saying, "Director, I suspect you've taken a cut from him and come here with ulterior motives. Just say what you have to say—no need to beat around the bush." The Director offered a dry smile and replied, "Actually, this isn't a major issue at all. He was indeed injured by you—Master Li, shouldn't you acknowledge that?" "Iron Xinlan firmly stated, 'Yes, it was me who hit him...' Hearing this, Lu Yun finally understood what was going on—the head of the education committee had always harbored ill will toward Xinlan, and this visit was surely about the incident when Xinlan had been poisoned and attacked by the sports teacher, whom she had beaten with bricks. Before Xinlan finished speaking, Lu Yun slammed the door open, rushed inside, and shouted at the education committee head, 'That old fool wasn't hit by Iron Teacher—he was beaten by me with bricks! I barely managed not to kill him; it's a miracle he's still alive. How dare he come here to pressure Iron Teacher? The next time I see him, I'll splatter his brain out!' Lu Yun stormed into Xinlan's office with such intensity, yelling at the education committee head without giving him a single glance, as if he didn't care about the very possibility of being dismissed on the spot. ...
