Reporting to the New School, Seeing Tang Wulin Again

Reporting to a New School, Goodbye Tang Wulin

Donghai City.

It is the largest city-state on the entire East Coast, and as the East Coast is one of the most affluent regions in the federation, luxury is on display everywhere here.

When Qiangu Wuji and Gu Yue stepped off the soul guidance train and walked out of the station, seeing the high-rise buildings before them, they felt a sense of daze, as if they had returned to the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

This place is different from the small town of Aolai City; it is a genuine, bustling metropolis.

"Gu Yue, after we finish reporting, how about we grab something to eat on the street?"

After leaving the station, Qiangu Wuji looked at the dazzling array of restaurants along the street, and his stomach began to growl.

Gu Yue didn't speak, just nodded, clearly tacitly agreeing to his suggestion.

The two walked and looked around, following the guidance of the map, slowly heading toward East Sea Academy.

Just then, suddenly, a pitch-black soul guidance car drove toward them from the front.

The car stopped in front of them, and then the door opened. A tall woman dressed in a professional skirt suit stepped out.

"Are you two Young Master Qiangu and Miss Gu Yue?"

After the woman walked up to them, she bowed slightly, performing a very standard greeting.

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji looked at Gu Yue in surprise, and the latter also looked confused.

Clearly, she didn't know what was going on either.

Qiangu Wuji thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, I am Qiangu Wuji. May I ask who you are...?"

"I am the assistant to the principal of East Sea Academy," the tall woman explained with a smile. "Earlier, when the principal learned that you were going to enroll in our academy, he was very happy, so he specifically instructed me to come and pick you and Miss Gu Yue up."

"Oh? So that's how it is..."

Qiangu Wuji nodded, and he immediately understood what was going on.

That's right, coming to East Sea Academy this time, he certainly couldn't hide his identity like he did in Aolai City. After all, this is a big place; once they hear his surname is Qiangu, they would certainly know he is from the Qiangu family.

"Young Master Qiangu, please get in the car. Director Long has been waiting for you and Miss Gu Yue for a long time."

While he was thinking about these things, the woman spoke again.

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji was quite surprised.

Director Long? Could it be that Long Hengxu?

Thinking of the character description from the original work, he remembered him as a stiff and serious guy, right?

To think that such a person would personally come to pick him up...

However, surprised as he was, he didn't show it, just nodded calmly.

"Yes, alright."

Just like that, he and Gu Yue got into the black soul guidance car.

Inside the car, as soon as he got in, he indeed saw Long Hengxu sitting in the passenger seat.

Just as described in the original work, this is a middle-aged man in his prime, with a very burly build and a very refined aura. He is much stronger than any soul master he had seen in Aolai City over the past three years—though, of course, that excludes Mu Ye and Leng Yaozhu.

"Qiangu Wuji, I'll just call you Wuji for now."

While he was secretly sizing up the other party, Long Hengxu in the front seat spoke. He didn't directly ask about Qiangu Wuji's personal or family situation, but instead chatted as if they were two friends.

"Wuji, how do you feel about Donghai City after the ride here?"

"It's quite good, very affluent."

"Haha, you're right. Although the East Coast's soul master faculty strength isn't as good as other places in the federation, when it comes to prosperity, other places simply cannot compare."

Long Hengxu explained with a hearty laugh, his words full of boldness and dominance.

Qiangu Wuji listened calmly, carefully pondering the reason for him saying all this to him.

After thinking for a while, he quickly understood. It seemed he was giving him a hint, saying how good this place is, with the underlying intention of not wanting him to leave.

Actually, he could understand why the other party wanted to curry favor with him.

He is a member of the Qiangu family and the future successor of the Spirit Pagoda. These two identities combined are enough to make this East Sea Academy famous.

After all, if the successor of the prestigious Spirit Pagoda comes here to study, outsiders will surely think there must be something extraordinary about this place. Otherwise, why would the successor of the Spirit Pagoda abandon his position and family knowledge to come to this small place?

"Wuji, also, our East Coast is not only affluent, but its biggest characteristic is a harmonious atmosphere. Whether it's the residents or the academy's teachers and students, everyone is very friendly."

After Long Hengxu rambled on about this and that, he finally couldn't hold back and brought the topic back to school matters.

Once Qiangu Wuji knew his purpose, he couldn't be bothered to think too much. No matter what he said, he just kept nodding and agreeing.

Just like that, the car sped along and finally arrived at East Sea Academy.

This is a large-scale soul master academy covering a vast area. Once inside the campus, the first thing one could feel was the hustle and bustle, with students of all kinds walking across the playground.

"How is it, Wuji? Do you feel very relaxed? It's like coming home, right?"

After entering the academy, the group got out of the car, and then, under the guidance of Long Hengxu, they began to tour the school.

He kept a smile on his face from start to finish, walking ahead while talking to himself.

"Wuji, I believe you can feel it too, right? The atmosphere here is very relaxed, and every student has a high level of upbringing and quality, so you don't need to feel any pressure. Just treat this place like your own home."

"Mm..."

Listening to this, the corner of Qiangu Wuji's mouth twitched slightly. This old guy really went to great lengths just to get him to stay.

Relaxed atmosphere, my foot. Then what was he thinking when he had Wu Zhangkong form Class Zero?

Wasn't it just to push them to the brink of death?

He was truly spouting nonsense with his eyes wide open!

"Wuji..."

"Bang!"

Just as Long Hengxu was about to say something more, a dull thud suddenly rang out, followed immediately by a series of panicked screams.

"Ah, someone is fighting!"

Hearing this, the expression on Long Hengxu's face stiffened slightly.

Qiangu Wuji was also surprised and turned his head to look to the side.

They had reached the dormitory building by now, and right in front of the main entrance, a large crowd of students had gathered, blocking the area completely.

Seeing this, Qiangu Wuji was taken aback. A fight?

Wait, a fight, East Sea Academy... He suddenly thought of a possibility and hurriedly looked up toward the second floor.

And the moment he looked up, he happened to see someone!

Tang Wulin!

That's right, the person on the second floor was none other than Tang Wulin, whom he hadn't seen in three years.

At this moment, on the second-floor corridor, Tang Wulin was looking down with a blank expression. As if he had sensed his gaze, he lifted his eyes slightly, and then their gazes met.

But it only lasted for a moment; Tang Wulin quickly looked away, turned around, and headed back into his dormitory.
