Jiang Weiwei

"I don't think we know each other. Why did you attack me the moment you came up?" Lin Hao was full of questions too. He had never made enemies with anyone, so why had he been ambushed? And by such a beautiful Senior Sister, no less.

Su Xiaorui asked in return, "Are you Lin Hao? Lin Hao from Class 5, Grade 3 of Shancheng No. 1 Middle School, the one who awakened an E-class talent, a Lightning elemental ability?"

"That's right. It's me," Lin Hao answered.

Holy shit, are E-class talents this fierce now? That's not what the books said. Did the books lie to me? Su Xiaorui began to question her entire life. Then she introduced herself and explained the whole story to Lin Hao from beginning to end.

After listening, Lin Hao felt his head throb. "What? I'm some Second generation? How come I didn't know that? Senior Sister, I haven't read much. Don't fool me."

With no other choice, Lin Hao decided to find the Principal and clear things up first, lest some blind fool come to ambush him again in the future. Su Xiaorui then led Lin Hao to the Principal's Office.

Along the way, Su Xiaorui kept sneaking glances at Lin Hao from time to time, making the corners of his mouth twitch. Suddenly, he gave a ghostly grin. "Senior Sister Su, don't tell me you've fallen in love with me?"

Seeing that Lin Hao had noticed her little movements, Su Xiaorui was not embarrassed in the slightest. She asked instead, "Then would little brother like to have a sweeping, earth-shaking romance with Sister Su?"

Lin Hao's face darkened. What a fucking lunatic!

Seeing Lin Hao choke on his words, Su Xiaorui finally won back a round and felt immensely pleased. Little brat, you want to fight me? You're still too green.

Before long, under Su Xiaorui's lead, Lin Hao arrived outside the Principal's office. She knocked on the door, then walked in without waiting for anyone inside to respond.

"Weiwei, I brought Lin Hao," she said, stepping aside afterward.

The moment Lin Hao entered, he saw a woman in a white dress standing by the window with her back to him. When she turned around, he was stunned on the spot. She looked to be around twenty, with an exquisitely delicate figure and an elegant face carrying an ethereal air. That single backward glance nearly stole his soul away.

Lin Hao: Who am I? Where am I? What am I here for? Do all Wu University Principals look like this? Are all Wu University Principals this young? Even novels wouldn't dare write this! Heaven has truly treated me well!

Seeing Lin Hao stare at her blankly, Jiang Weiwei's pretty little brows furrowed slightly. Then she spoke coldly, "You are Lin Hao?"

Only then did Lin Hao come back to his senses and blurt out in a daze, "You're the Principal?"

Not only was Su Xiaorui beside him dumbfounded, even Jiang Weiwei was thrown for a loop.

Am I the Principal? Seems not. I'm only the Acting Principal... but that still counts as being a Principal. Jiang Weiwei's mind spun wildly.

"Ahem, I mean, hello, Principal!" Lin Hao came to his senses as well, realizing his words had been somewhat offensive. He hurriedly tried to smooth things over. Jiang Weiwei did not pursue the matter further and said coldly, "Lin Hao, the reason you were able to study at Shancheng Martial University was because orders were issued to the school from above. It was not Shancheng Martial University's original intention. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Lin Hao replied, neither servile nor overbearing.

Jiang Weiwei's tone made Lin Hao deeply uncomfortable. Yes, he had gotten in through the back door. But if they did not accept someone like him, they could have said so. The people above would not have forced them to take him in. Since they had chosen to accept him, there was no need for this cold sarcasm. What, was Shancheng Martial University so great? Was being pretty enough to make a Principal so great? If they pushed him too far, he would not serve them anymore. Then they would see whose loss it was.

With that thought, Lin Hao continued, "From what the Principal says, it seems you were forced to take in an unpromising student like me. That's fine. I know my own worth, and I don't like forcing people into things. Since the Principal finds this so difficult, it won't do either side any good. The Invitation letter is still in my hands. I haven't handed it to any school leader. That means I haven't enrolled. Principal, just pretend I was never here. That would be good for everyone."

Jiang Weiwei had already been irritated these past few days by enrollment matters. On top of that, she had assumed from the start that Lin Hao was an incompetent Second generation, so she wanted to give him a show of force and make sure he did not cause trouble at school. Who would have thought that Lin Hao would be completely impervious to reason and not take her, the Principal, seriously at all?

"You..." Jiang Weiwei had just opened her mouth when she saw Su Xiaorui looking anxious beside her, frantically waving at her.

Seeing that Jiang Weiwei had nothing to say, Lin Hao casually took out the Invitation letter and placed it on the Principal's desk. "Then I'll be leaving, Principal. No need to see me off." With that, he walked out of the Principal's office without looking back.

Jiang Weiwei was so angry that her ample chest rose and fell, her little face turning pale, while Su Xiaorui beside her was equally anxious.

Weiwei, today isn't even your time of the month. Why did you start snapping the moment you disagreed? My Weiwei wasn't like this before. This kid isn't ordinary. You just drove away a top-tier genius! Su Xiaorui complained bitterly in her heart.

"Weiwei, how could you let him leave? He can't leave!" Su Xiaorui wore a face as bitter as a bitter melon.

Jiang Weiwei's anger had not yet subsided. "A Second generation who doesn't even put me, the Principal, in his eyes? If he left, then he left. Better that way, so he won't cause me trouble later."

"He, he..." Su Xiaorui did not know how to explain it. Was she supposed to say that Lin Hao had given her big waves?

Seeing her best friend stammer helplessly, Jiang Weiwei frowned and asked, "Ruirui, what happened to him? Did he bully you?"

Knowing she could not hide it anymore, Su Xiaorui had no choice but to tell Jiang Weiwei what had happened in the Small forest.

After hearing Su Xiaorui's account, Jiang Weiwei's eyes widened. "Ruirui, why didn't you tell me something so important sooner?" I didn't tell you sooner? You simply never gave me a chance to speak. Su Xiaorui felt utterly wronged.

"What do we do now?" Jiang Weiwei was at a loss for the moment. Not only had Su Xiaorui started out by fighting Lin Hao, even she, the Principal, had not shown him a pleasant face. If it were her, she would leave too.

"What else can we do? Hurry up and bring him back. We can't let a top-tier genius like that walk away just like this." As Su Xiaorui spoke, she headed out to chase after Lin Hao.

Lin Hao had just reached the school gates. He looked up at the clear blue sky and the clouds drifting past from time to time.

"Ah, I never thought that the first thing I'd do after entering university would be to mouth off at the Principal right to her face. Why am I so damn awesome? It felt great to talk back, but what am I supposed to do afterward? Sure enough, showing off comes at a price."

After marveling at how awesome he was for a while, Lin Hao decided to go to the forest outside the city to practice against some exotic beasts. Only one Silver-grade beast core remained in the System space, so he had to replenish his beast cores quickly to maintain his cultivation speed. Besides, there was another especially important reason—he was running out of money! "The Beast Cores of Low-level exotic beasts should be worth something too. I can find an exchange and sell them then." With that in mind, he headed toward the outskirts of the city.

"Lin Hao, don't leave yet! Wait for me!" Just as he walked out through the school gates, Lin Hao heard someone calling him. Turning around, he saw Su Xiaorui. Oh, wasn't this Su Xiaorui? Why was she looking for him again? Seeing how frantic she was, was she planning to elope with him? Lin Hao ignored her and kept walking.

Seeing Lin Hao deliberately ignore her, Su Xiaorui stamped her feet in anger. With no other choice, she hurried forward and grabbed Lin Hao.

Lin Hao gave her an indifferent glance. "Senior Sister Su, what else do you need from me?"

Su Xiaorui was panting so hard that she could barely catch her breath. Her full chest rose and fell, giving Lin Hao quite a sight to enjoy. "Lin Hao, can you stay?"

"Stay? Stay for what, so I can keep taking the Principal's crap?"

"Uh... the Principal isn't that kind of person. She's just had too many things to deal with lately and has been in a bad mood. Plus, her period came, so..." Su Xiaorui sold out her best friend without the slightest hesitation, and sold her out thoroughly.

Lin Hao's eyes widened. Is this something I'm allowed to hear? Doesn't this require a VIP subscription?

"Come back with Sister. The Principal is actually a pretty good person. How about this? You can name any conditions you want. As long as they're within our ability, we can agree to them." With no other options, Su Xiaorui could only try to keep Lin Hao steady first.

Any conditions I want? Can I really name anything? Lin Hao grumbled inwardly.

"Senior Sister, Shancheng Martial University is a Wu University after all. You shouldn't be short on talented people, right? I want to know why you insist on keeping me." Lin Hao was not stupid. Every benefit came from the value one could provide, and the value one provided was far greater than the benefits the other party gave. He knew Su Xiaorui must have told the Principal about what had happened earlier, which was why the Principal had sent Su Xiaorui after him.

"Well... can we go back and talk? It can't be explained in just a sentence or two." Su Xiaorui wanted to get Lin Hao back to the Principal's Office as quickly as possible, so he would not run off again.

Ah, fine. I'll go back. I haven't decided which Wu University to attend anyway, and Fang Yao found this university for me. She probably had to call in quite a few favors too. For that little girl's sake, I'll reluctantly go back.

"Fine, but let me make this clear first. If the Principal still has that same attitude after we go back..."

"She won't. I guarantee it!" Su Xiaorui hurriedly promised before Lin Hao could finish. Seeing how sincere she was, Lin Hao returned with her to the Principal's Office.
