Living in Royal Dragon International? You Still Can't Afford the Exam Fee?

Thinking as he went.

The car soon arrived at the gates of Royal Dragon International.

After parking the car, Teacher Zhou walked into the residential compound with a fluttering heart.

Coming here for the very first time, he swept his gaze over the surrounding environment.

It felt as though even the air was charged by the meter.

The flowers and vegetation along the path were better than those in their own neighborhood.

Even the security guards and cleaners here would bow at ninety degrees when they saw people!

Thinking of the security guards in his own neighborhood who started fights over the slightest thing!

Teacher Zhou's nose stung!

He thought to himself that this was the world of the wealthy and powerful!

However, as they walked along.

Teacher Zhou suddenly found something amiss.

The direction they were heading wasn't toward the apartment buildings.

Instead, it was the direction of the villa district.

"Lin Jia, did we take the wrong turn?" Teacher Zhou stopped in his tracks and said, "The apartment buildings are that way, and those over there are all villas!"

"We didn't take the wrong turn!" Lin Jia said with innocent naivety, "I come home from this direction every day!"

"There's no mistake," Zhong Lili also said with a smile, "Please come this way, we'll be home soon!"

Fine...

Teacher Zhou swallowed hard.

He suddenly felt something was a bit off.

With a nervous heart, he could only bite the bullet and follow along!

After walking for about five minutes.

A luxurious villa came into view!

"Teacher Zhou, we're home," Lin Jia welcomed, "Welcome to be a guest at our home!"

"This is... your home?" Teacher Zhou stammered incoherently!

"Yes," Lin Jia said innocently, "Please come in, Teacher Zhou."

Teacher Zhou swallowed hard, feeling his legs grow a bit weak.

Glancing at the luxurious villa before him, he felt his whole body trembling.

He thought that the villas in Royal Dragon International were renowned as the top-tier villas in Chuan City!

For an ordinary teacher like him to buy just one, he was afraid a whole lifetime wouldn't be enough!

The people living here were either wealthy or noble in his eyes.

Or else they were martial artists!

Only these people had the money to buy such luxurious villas!

"I heard... that the security system for the villas here is... at the Martial Master level, right?"

Hearing Teacher Zhou's inquiry, Zhong Lili nodded.

Having already received Lin Chen's message, she cooperated and said:

"Yes, Teacher Zhou, please have a seat anywhere, I'll go pour some tea."

"Do you like pu'er, longjing, or white tea, or perhaps coffee, cola, orange juice...?"

"Plain water is fine," Teacher Zhou sat down on the sofa and nodded, his face somewhat pale.

Seeing this, Lin Jia swept her gaze around and said:

"Teacher Zhou... please wait a moment, I'll go find my older brother..."

After the others left.

Teacher Zhou looked around the interior once more.

Goodness!

All kinds of furniture here were top-tier on the market.

Even his salary for a whole year couldn't afford a single piece!

As an ordinary teacher,

it would be a lie for Teacher Zhou to say he wasn't envious!

"Teacher Zhou has arrived... welcome... welcome..."

At that moment, laughter came from the second floor.

Immediately following, Lin Chen walked out with a serious expression.

Looking rather different from his usual attire and grooming,

he exuded the strong aura of an overbearing CEO!

Dressed head to toe in a suit with a designer watch, he stepped forward to shake hands and said:

"I've been wanting to visit you for a long time, but I just never had the chance..."

"You are... Lin Jia's older brother?" Teacher Zhou stood up, dumbfounded, and shook his hand!

"Yes, it's me," Lin Chen said with a smile, "We were just on the phone a few days ago!"

"Oh... right..." Teacher Zhou suddenly felt a rather complicated mood, as if he had been played by someone!

Pondering how Lin Jia couldn't even afford the exam fee just a few days ago and planned to skip the martial arts exam.

Who would have thought this child's family lived in a top-tier villa and had a personal maid!

And you told me you couldn't afford the exam fee?

Most crucially, Lin Chen looked entirely like a top-tier wealthy second-generation heir!

He was tall.

Handsome, and well-mannered too.

If this wasn't a rich person, what was?

Meanwhile, Lin Jia, standing to the side, also looked somewhat strangely at her older brother.

She thought to herself that usually her brother would practically split a single coin in two to spend!

How could he dress so brightly, brilliantly, and dashingly today!

"Teacher Zhou, please have some tea!" At this moment, Zhong Lili walked out, wearing a housekeeper's uniform with a smile on her face.

"Cough, cough..." Teacher Zhou coughed, his complicated emotions stirring, and sighed:

"It seems my understanding of classmate Lin Jia is still not quite enough... Let's put that aside for now, I came this time to ask about the martial arts universities..."

After saying a lot.

Lin Chen roughly understood Teacher Zhou's meaning.

He glanced at his younger sister blinking beside him.

Then he nodded and said:

"I've looked into all seven martial arts universities, and I'd like to ask what suggestions Teacher Zhou might have!"

Asked like that by Lin Chen,

Teacher Zhou felt respected!

He thought that even though Lin Chen was rich,

he was, after all, Lin Jia's teacher, right!

As for how to choose among the seven martial arts universities.

Actually, on the way here,

Teacher Zhou didn't know how many explicit and implicit hints he had received from the seven deans!

With a thoughtful expression, he analyzed:

"Among the seven martial arts universities, the first, third, and seventh are veteran institutions, while the other four were newly established in recent years, and their faculty strength is still far too lacking!"

"My suggestion is to choose among the first, third, and seventh universities. Lin Jia has extremely strong talent, and her future achievements will be limitless. The school is very important!"

Lin Chen nodded.

He figured Teacher Zhou was speaking the truth.

Ever since Lin Jia was asked to skip a grade and take the martial arts exam,

he had already been considering which university his sister should attend!

Whether it was the first, third, or seventh university,

they were all under his consideration.

It was just that this consideration remained based on the premise of what his sister liked.

Thinking of this,

Lin Chen looked at his sister Lin Jia and said:

"Lin Jia, the first, third, and seventh universities are quite good, pick one of them!"

Lin Jia nodded.

Then she pinched her small hands together and fell into thought.

Seeing this, Teacher Zhou also felt a surge of joy in his heart.

After all, Lin Jia was his own student.

If she achieved great success in the future, it would also be a good thing for him.

"Teacher Zhou, let her think about it," Lin Chen invited at this moment, "Let's go outside and chat!"

"Alright, I had the exact same intention!" Teacher Zhou said, feeling flattered!

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

And led the way to the back garden.

Teacher Zhou glanced at the rare and precious plants in the garden.

His eyes were filled with amazement.

After turning it over in his mind, he still spoke up:

"Lin Chen... I have a doubt I'd like you to clear up, you see..."

"Teacher Zhou, just call me Lin Chen," Lin Chen nodded and said, "If you have anything to say, just spit it out!"

"Alright! Then I'll be direct," Teacher Zhou said: "If there's anything inappropriate, please forgive me. My doubt is..."

Following that, Teacher Zhou brought up the matter of not being able to afford the exam fee.

After listening, Lin Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

With a smiling face, he looked at Teacher Zhou and explained:

"Teacher Zhou, actually this was my fault. I really was quite poor before, but I recently made a bit of small wealth, so you know..."

Made a bit of small wealth?

Just how massive must this small wealth be to afford a villa in Royal Dragon International!

Teacher Zhou knew that everyone had their privacy.

So he didn't press further.

He simply said with understanding:

"That's good too, at least I don't have to worry about Lin Jia's living standards!"

"Teacher Zhou," Lin Chen said with a smile:

"Can you grant me a favor!"
