A gentle breeze blows, car horns honk, suitcases are dragged along, and there's the sound of laughter and chatter—it's the start of the school year.
Oh, this refers to the school across the street.
He Piaojian and Fan Daoyi stood together in front of the school gate, looking at the desolate scene inside.
After a long silence, Fan Daoyi asked, "Did you give it to the wrong place?"
"No way, Dawn was indeed built here." He Piaojian opened the official website and searched through the school's posts.
They saw the words in bold and enlarged.
Notice: Due to unknown reasons, the university has suffered a series of devastating blows, and the old campus has been temporarily abandoned. The address of the new campus is as follows...
He Piaojian handed the message to Fan Daoyi: "Dao Yi, let's go here."
Having found the exact location again, Fan Daoyi on He Piaojian's shoulder.
After a moment of distraction, I arrived at the gate of the new campus.
Although the new campus was also lifeless, it lacked any lively atmosphere to welcome new students.
Finding the spot, I saw an upperclassman sleeping on the table, unaware of the new student's arrival.
He Piaojian tapped the table with his hand, saying in a cheeky tone, "Hey classmate, how can you sleep in my class?"
The old student woke up with a start and couldn't help but exclaim "Holy crap!"
"Holy crap, I'm so sorry, teacher, please don't deduct my participation points and fail me!"
Looking up, she saw two unfamiliar faces. She glanced around in confusion before realizing who it was, and breathed a sigh of relief, "That scared me to death! Thank goodness we're not in class right now."
He Piaojian smiled and said to Fan Daoyi, "Dawn's teaching management is very strict. If it weren't for the Guixu in previous years, enrollment would probably be as dismal as this year."
The senior student adjusted his posture, cleared his throat, and steered the conversation back on track. "What do you two do for a living?"
"New students, register." Fan Daoyi replied calmly.
"A freshman?" the senior student exclaimed in surprise, taking a sip of water to get rid of the lingering smell of sleep in his mouth. "That's rare. Which area are you from?"
Azure Cloud City.
Upon hearing this answer, the senior student turned his head, spraying all the water out. He then stood up excitedly, looking at the two people in front of him with a hint of doubt. "Huh?"
He quickly found all the candidates' information in Azure Cloud City. Because the admissions officer kept discouraging them from applying, only two students were admitted to Azure Cloud City this time.
One is an eighteen-year-old Fusion Realm freak, the other is a genius who defeated a BOSS at the Initial Illumination Realm First Tier.
The older student asked again, still incredulous, "Where are you from?"
This time, He Piaojian answered, "Qingyun, there's no doubt about it, he really is from Azure Cloud City."
This time, a senior student shouted, "Come quick! Qingyun, those two new students from Qingyun have arrived!"
This shout immediately made the senior students walking on the road stop and then swarm over.
"Get out of my way, let me interview those two and ask why they're so desperate!"
"I... we're researching the differences between people in our lab, and they want me to investigate the organizational structure of those two freshmen!"
"Hey, 99% perfect, a rare find!"
Suddenly, a powerful pressure descended from the sky, suppressing the group of senior students.
"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?" A deep, dignified voice came from behind them.
"Principal Zheng."
"Principal Zheng."
The students lowered their heads and greeted him softly, their eyes filled with fear. They dared not meet the old man's gaze, and their low voices seemed somewhat abrupt in the quiet atmosphere.
The elderly man, referred to as Principal Zheng, was in a wheelchair and was being pushed over by others.
As Principal Zheng approached Fan Daoyi and the others, a flash of disgust quickly crossed his deep eyes, as if he had seen something filthy.
He stroked his beard slightly and said loudly to He Piaojian with dissatisfaction, "What good is talent if you're so carefree? Entering the Guixu will only lead to your death."
After speaking, he turned his gaze to Fan Daoyi, his disdain even more evident, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, you were only at the Initial Illumination Realm First Tier when you were tested, and you're still at the Initial Illumination Realm First Tier now. You have absolutely no talent, and your future is doomed."
His words were full of sarcasm and biting remarks towards the two of them, and the surrounding students remained silent.
He Piaojian opened his mouth to refute, but saw a familiar figure running towards them from afar.
He immediately ignored the reprimanding Principal Zheng and swiftly ran past him towards the figure.
Principal Zheng tried to subdue He Piaojian with intimidation, but was surprised to find it ineffective. He could only angrily say, "What a lack of manners and respect for elders!"
He Piaojian and the figure stopped running together halfway.
The curious students cautiously shifted their heads to look.
Principal Zheng squinted, carefully examining the figure before recognizing it as the school's Principal Fu. Vice Principal Fu possessed a tall, upright posture and a gentle yet authoritative face, a stark contrast to Principal Zheng's serious and rigid demeanor.
He Piaojian and Principal Fu looked at each other, but neither of them said a word.
This scene seemed familiar, prompting some students to make unfounded connections. This is...
'X's name.'
"Hahaha, He Piaojian!" Principal Fu rushed out first, his hearty laughter followed by a nasty remark, "I knew it was you, kid! How come you're still alive?!"
He Piaojian also attacked him. "Old ghost Fu, how could I possibly die if you're still alive!"
They loved each other dearly.
"Give me back the money, you son of a bitch! You promised to give me double last time!" Principal Fu He Piaojian's face with his claw.
He Piaojian, not to be outdone, Principal Fu Xiao's black and white hair with his other hand. "I have no money, but you can take my life. What's mine is mine, and what's yours is still mine. Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"
The two women fought like shrewish women hurling insults at each other, but neither used their physical abilities.
Our reputation! The reputation of our university! The students were on the verge of tears. "Principal, if you want to fight, let's do it in the training area, not at the welcome gate! What if you scare away the already small number of freshmen?"
Look at Principal Zheng's face. If this continues, we'll be suffocated by Principal Zheng pressure!
Principal Zheng has been in office for a century and is still the vice principal, while you Principal Fu, are a scoundrel and have secured the position of principal. Don't provoke him, or we'll be the ones who suffer!
Fan Daoyi nudged the senior student welcoming new students and asked, "Where's the university supermarket?"
The senior student gave Fan Daoyi the address.
Fan Daoyi nodded, and when he returned, he had several packets of sunflower seeds in his hand, which he kindly shared with his seniors.
"A little bit?"
The senior felt the pressure pressing down on him, then looked up at Fan Daoyi was moving freely and unaffected.
As expected, ordinary people really can't compare to these geniuses and freaks; they're more likely to have their Dao hearts shattered.
Even though his senior didn't answer, Fan Daoyi could clearly feel the gaze that had been fixed on him the whole time.
Turning around, I saw Principal Zheng's resentful gaze.
Spending so much time with He Piaojian has inevitably influenced my personality to some extent.
So he walked over to Principal Zheng in the wheelchair and offered him some sunflower seeds. "Would you like some?"
Having suffered several humiliations in a short period of time at his advanced age, he coughed up a mouthful of blood from his chest.
With the pressure lifted, the students feigned concern.
"Principal Zheng, quick, someone come and take Principal Zheng to the infirmary!"
"Hurry up! Principal Zheng is getting on in years; we can't afford to take responsibility if something happens to him."
Fan Daoyi naturally sat down in a chair, cracking sunflower seeds and enjoying the spectacle on both sides.
Hey, this Present World is way more fun than the Guixu.
