528. Protagonist

"Headmaster..."

Inside the secret area, after 99% of the students had left, the atmosphere on campus suddenly became much quieter.

Li Weiwei held a report and looked at Bai Jing behind the desk, "Why not just sign a letter of intent and let them go? I'm afraid very few students will be able to stick it out during this holiday."

In fact, she knew very well that this holiday for students who had been in closed-door teaching was essentially Expansion occult knowledge to the outside world.

Furthermore, many students are won over.

Their families may struggle to afford the potions and rituals, but for other factions, it's nothing.

"Let those who are not firm in their stance go."

Sulu had long wanted to Expansion about Spirit Mark and some basic occult knowledge.

In fact, Heavenly Net had already taught some things at the beginning of the semester.

Now, winter break is Expansion to the whole world.

"Only truly intelligent people know that I can offer them more than any other power..."

Sulu wasn't in a hurry at all.

He possesses the truly advanced knowledge of occultism.

What is taught in school, even by the time students reach their junior or senior year, is only the basics.

Those who truly aspire to high-level careers naturally know how to make the right choices.

This is also a loyalty screening.

As for the other students, they didn't give up either. At least four years of study would allow them to accumulate a lot of goodwill towards the school and create a strong potential influence.

"Also... regarding Miss Bai Tong, Mr. Chu has always hoped to leave."

Li Weiwei said.

Clearly, the other party had been holding back for a while.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Previously, the situation was unstable, but now it is basically stable and there shouldn't be any major problems for the next few years. Sulu felt that it was inappropriate to confine others in the secret realm, as if they were in prison.

He arrived at the Bai Family villa next to the school.

Li Weiwei pricked up her ears and heard the sound in the wind.

"Your brother... is a control freak! He's the number one person in the Mystic World, yet he's as timid as a mouse..."

An angry male voice rang out, causing her to steal a glance at Sulu's expression.

Sulu walked calmly into the villa.

In an instant, Chu Gufeng's aggrieved voice disappeared, replaced by ingratiating and fawning:

"Hey, little brother, what brings you here?"

Li Weiwei wanted to laugh. Did he think Bai Jing was deaf? Even if the principal wasn't a [Wind Whisperer], high-level professionals still have enhanced senses.

"Yes, I came to see you all; after all, the situation has stabilized."

Sulu sat on the sofa, watching Bai Tong support her back as she poured herself a glass of water; her pregnancy was already quite obvious.

"Therefore... I plan to open a passageway where you and the school's teachers can freely come and go."

"That's wonderful!" Chu Gufeng was overjoyed, and even Bai Tong smiled.

Clearly, she wasn't having an easy time either.

"And... Sister, your child will be a beautiful girl." Sulu stared at Bai Tong's belly, a strange light in his eyes, and suddenly smiled, saying, "How about naming her Bai Ling?"

"Hehe..."

Chu Gufeng's face looked as if he had been slashed, but he still managed to say, "It's really... a good name, a good name indeed. Not bad... let's call her Bai Ling."

After leaving the Bai Family villa, Sulu sent Li Weiwei away and took a walk alone, lost in thought.

How to go against the world is a very complex question.

In a sense, this is tantamount to rebelling against fate.

Throughout the history of every world, there have been emperors who were powerful throughout their lives. They conquered almost the entire world, and there were no ones who dared to disobey them. This led to boundless ambition and a determination to fight against the world and against fate. However, many of them ended up with tragic ends.

"Fate Impermanence; it doesn't have a precise target. On the contrary, it will repay you with whatever force you give it... The most common method is subtle and gradual influence..."

Sulu pursed his lips. "In this world, I always possess the strength of the number one person on the mystical side during every Spirit Tide. I also hide in a secret realm, isolated from the outside world, avoiding conflict with any forces. The world's will, or rather fate, cannot do anything to me, so it will look for my weaknesses and flaws... Therefore, I will not get married and have children in this world, otherwise I will definitely give birth to a 'rebellious child.' It's possible that lovers will turn against each other, staging a melodramatic family drama."

"Since the world's will has no other recourse but to transfer its influence and seek out Bai Tong's relatives in this body?"

Just now, he not only realized that Bai Tong was carrying a daughter, and that she should have excellent aptitude, but he also sensed an inexplicable aura surrounding her.

"In a way, this is the protagonist's halo... She'll probably oppose me in the future."

Although Sulu was not a heartless person, he never hesitated to Killer when his own safety was at stake.

The reason I'm not doing it now isn't out of concern for Bai Tong and her family, but because I know it's pointless.

Kill this one, and there will be others, which will be even more deeply hidden and harder to deal with. It's better to keep them under your nose and keep them under close supervision.

"Not only Bai Ling, but how many of my students will rebel against me in the future? And how many of them will become protagonists?"

"Should we impose restrictions on them in advance? But that might provoke their resistance, causing them to target me even if they didn't originally intend to. After all, fate loves this kind of self-destructive behavior."

"Why do I feel like I'm starting to look more and more like a villain?"

Sulu touched his face, utterly speechless.

The following year, the new school year begins.

"We're back here again."

With a simple shoulder bag slung over his shoulder, Ximen Ping excitedly walked into the Arc de Triomphe of the East City Mystery Academy.

He was well aware of the popularity he had received during this winter break, and the source of the dramatic changes in his family, so he would only cling to this place more firmly and refuse to let go.

"Ximen Ping, it's been a long time."

As I entered the dormitory, I saw Han Fan sitting on the sofa with a magazine in his hand. "How was your winter break?"

"Not bad. How about you?" Ximen Ping quickly took out some local specialties from his bag.

"Just as boring... I'm planning to apply to stay on campus for most of my holidays from now on."

Han Fan's lips curled into a smile.

"Why?" Ximen Ping asked in surprise.

"After comparing the two, I found that the development of occultism outside is far inferior to that at our school... It would be a real shame to leave before we've thoroughly exhausted the teachers' knowledge, and there's also the library... It's a pity it's so unwilling to contribute."

Han Fan shook his head, his tone full of regret. "Then... have you thought it through?"

"I've thought it over, and I'm ready to sign a contract to stay at the university."

Ximen Ping scratched his head. "Perhaps... I'm more suited to be a teacher."

"That's what I chose too. Five years of Apprentice in exchange for mysterious knowledge—it's fair." Han Fan put down the magazine.

"Hmm?" Ximen Ping was somewhat surprised.

He genuinely didn't have the money, or rather, he didn't want to get involved with random people, but Han Fan's family was very wealthy, yet he still made this choice, which left him speechless.
