Before Zhou Yi could finish speaking, Jiang Fan interrupted her.

No need to consider it anymore, that's fine.

After speaking, he looked at Xing Wu.

" Teacher Xing, what materials do I need to prepare in advance for enrollment?"

Seeing that Jiang Fan had made up his mind, Xing Wu grinned from ear to ear, revealing his gums.

"You don't need to worry about that. Just give me your ID card, and I'll take care of everything for you. When school starts, you can just come directly."

"Thank you, Teacher Xing."

Standing to the side, Zhou Yi's mouth gaped wider and wider as she gradually emerged from her daze and turned into anger.

What angered her was Jiang Fan's attitude just now. She had tried to persuade Jiang Fan again and again, even lowering her stance, but Jiang Fan not only refused to agree, but also interrupted her. Now he was ignoring her, this beautiful woman, and chatting enthusiastically with Xing Wu, this unremarkable and burly man.

The more Zhou Yi thought about it, the more intense the fire burned in her heart, her face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

" Jiang Fan! I'm giving you this advice one last time. Don't let your anger about what just happened ruin your life! If you continue down this path, I guarantee you'll regret it!"

Hearing these threatening words, Jiang Fan's patience was wearing thin.

He turned his head expressionlessly and said coldly, "If you hadn't led the way, joining forces with Longwu, Danwu, and Qingwu to force me to reveal my opportunities, how could I have been forced to choose Yuanwu?"

Jiang Fan said this on purpose to make Zhou Yi the target of public criticism.

Just as Jiang Fan had planned, the three teachers from Longwu, Danwu, and Qingwu all glared fiercely at Zhou Yi with expressions of utter fury.

Jiang Fan is a rare genius. Before they came, they were repeatedly instructed to do everything possible to recruit Jiang Fan. However, Zhou Yi led the way, causing the mission to fail.

When they return and are asked by the school about the reasons, they will definitely be severely criticized, and demotion and pay cuts will be inevitable.

Zhou Yi felt her scalp tingling from the stares of the group and couldn't stand it any longer, so she angrily left the office.

She had barely left when she received a call from the principal of Shenwu Martial Arts School.

" Zhou Yi, has Jiang Fan's matter been settled?"

Now, whenever Zhou Yi hears anything about Jiang Fan Jiang Fan, or even just his name, she feels inexplicably irritated.

"Principal, Jiang Fan..."

Hearing these hesitant words, Shenwu vaguely guessed what was going on.

"What, Jiang Fan went to another martial arts school?"

"Yes..."

Shenwu frowned, his graying brows furrowing. "Before you went, didn't I repeatedly tell you to do everything in your power to recruit Jiang Fan? This is a mission from above! How did you handle it? I gave you such extensive authority, how could you let other martial arts schools snatch Jiang Fan away?"

Zhou Yi, with her outstanding looks and excellent work ability, has always been praised and admired in Shenwu, and has never been reprimanded like this before.

The culprit behind all of this is Jiang Fan!

Shenwu calmed his anger and asked again, "Which martial arts school did he go to? Qingwu? Danwu? Or Longwu?"

He was very curious about what kind of conditions the martial arts school that had taken Jiang Fan away had offered, which led to Zhou Yi's failure despite her outstanding work and public relations skills.

"This..." Zhou Yi stammered.

"What?! I'm asking you which school Jiang Fan went to! Don't you understand?!"

Shenwu's anger flared up again. This Zhou Yi was becoming more and more outrageous; she couldn't even answer a simple question clearly.

Sensing Shenwu's impatience, Zhou Yi dared not continue to hide the truth and had no choice but to tell him.

"It's... it's Yuanwu."

"What?" Shenwu was stunned. It took him several seconds for his brain, which had been frozen, to start working again.

The next second, he raised his voice, almost cracking.

"What did you say?! Yuanwu? You mean Yuanwu? Are you kidding me?!"

Zhou Yi's eardrums throbbed from the shouting, and she instinctively took the phone away from her ear.

"Indeed, it is Yuanwu."

Upon hearing this answer again, Shenwu was utterly shocked.

"How is that possible? How could Jiang Fan go to Yuanwu? Doesn't he know that Yuanwu is the same as Corpse Martial? Doesn't he know about Yuanwu's traditions?"

Zhou Yi's voice was hoarse, "We've told Jiang Fan everything about Yuanwu."

Shenwu was even more shocked, "Since he knew, why did he still go?"

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

Shenwu sensed something was amiss, and coupled with Zhou Yi's hesitant speech today, he felt as if she was hiding something.

"Tell me! What exactly happened? Tell me the whole story, from beginning to end, without omitting a single detail!"

Facing Shenwu, Zhou Yi dared not hide anything and had no choice but to tell him the whole story.

"Principal, that's how it is. I just wanted Jiang Fan to talk about the opportunity. If he's willing to share, it might benefit all the teachers and students of Shenwu School."

" Zhou Yi, you really—you really infuriate me! Who gave you the right to act on your own?! I told you before we went that the higher-ups instructed us to recruit Jiang Fan into Shenwu, and this is how you handle things? Utterly stupid!" The Shenwu was furious, his beard trembling with rage.

Zhou Yi was verbally abused mercilessly and dared not utter a single word.

Just as Shenwu was about to continue his tirade, a phone call came in.

The caller ID showed it was none other than Wei San.

"Oh no, it must be Commander Wei San asking me about Jiang Fan."

Shenwu wore a bitter and resentful expression. "Commander Wei San called me. If he doesn't let me have a good time, you won't have one either!"

Commander Wei San?!

Zhou Yi was shocked. Before coming, she only heard from Shenwu that someone above had instructed her to recruit Jiang Fan into Shenwu. She never expected that this "someone above" would be Commander Wei San!

Who is Commander Wei San? He's a trusted confidant of the commander-in-chief of the Divine Wind Camp!

She didn't understand. Jiang Fan a genius, but he hadn't fully matured yet, and his rapid progress now didn't necessarily mean he would have a brilliant future.

As a teacher at Shenwu High School, she had seen countless geniuses. They were Shenwu when they first entered the school, but as time went on, many so-called geniuses began to lag behind, became unknown, and eventually became mediocre.

Why is Wei San, a top-ranking figure in the Divine Wind Camp, so concerned about Jiang Fan's affairs?

Could Jiang Fan be related to Commander Wei San?

As soon as the idea came to mind, Zhou Yi dismissed it.

Impossible. She had investigated Jiang Fan's background. He grew up in a slum with no resources. Furthermore, his biological mother suffered a miscarriage while pregnant with him, resulting in congenital deficiencies and a consistently low blood pressure of 19N.

If he were truly connected to Commander Wei San, Commander Wei San would not have allowed it to continue unchecked.
