"Baole, did you see that? Chen Bing is shaking now. I heard that even though he didn't get into any of the Dao Colleges after graduation, he used his family's connections to become an employee of the Federation in Phoenix City." Sitting beside Wang Baole was a short man with a crew cut. He whispered into Wang Baole's ear.
"That's pretty impressive." Wang Baole nodded. Seeing that the food was delicious, he picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites since he didn't have lunch.
Soon, when all the eligible students had arrived, the dining table became lively. The students joked with each other and talked about their embarrassing past in the foundation school. Laughter could be heard from time to time.
Wang Baole also joined in, but gradually, he began to feel that something was amiss. Most of his classmates had not changed much from before, but there were still a few who would use various topics to brag about their achievements. This made Wang Baole feel very uncomfortable listening to them.
Especially Chen Bing, who was dressed in a formal suit and looked very stylish. He was flaunting his status as an employee of the Federation and said that he was able to book a table in the winery. This was a symbol of his status. He even took out his voice transmission ring from time to time and kept sending voice transmissions. His tone was reprimanding, as if he was very busy.
That wasn't all. There was also a student named Huang Gui from Holy River Dao College, one of the four major Dao Colleges. He sat there as if he was the leader of the group. Occasionally, he would raise his wine glass and speak carefully. When he spoke to others, he seemed calm, but in reality, every word he said was showing that he was different from the rest.
However, there were a few students beside him who were willing to follow him and flatter him from the side. Gradually, he overshadowed Chen Bing at the dining table.
If that was all, Wang Baole would at most feel uncomfortable. But soon, Huang Gui from Holy River Dao College seemed to have drunk a little too much. He slammed the table and sighed.
"Students, I haven't seen you for a year. You've changed a lot. Du Min, you're prettier than before …" He said a bunch of things and sighed. Wang Baole felt that his tone was familiar. He couldn't help but have a strange expression.
Seemingly noticing Wang Baole's expression, Huang Gui smiled.
"Everyone has changed a lot. But Baole, why are you still so fat?"
As soon as Wang Baole said this, a few of his classmates who were trying to curry favor with him started laughing. The other classmates also started teasing him. As a result, even if Wang Baole was angry, he couldn't do anything about it. All he could do was gloomily pick up his chopsticks and continue to eat.
Seeing this scene, Du Min laughed in her heart. It was rare to see Wang Baole suffer.
Perhaps it was because of Du Min's attire, or perhaps because of her former status in the academy, that made her the center of attention. After sighing emotionally, Huang Gui looked over at Du Min.
"Du Min, I heard that you and Wang Baole were admitted to Ethereal Dao College. That's pretty good. Which faculty are you in now?"
"Alchemy Department," Du Min said with a smile.
"Alchemy Department. In the future, if you have any questions in the Alchemy Department, you can send me a voice transmission. Since we are classmates, I will definitely help you." Huang Gui's eyes lit up when he heard about the Alchemy Department. He seemed to have found a new topic and laughed.
The classmates who were trying to curry favor with him quickly spoke up.
"Students, you don't know, right? Student Huang Gui is not an ordinary student in Holy River Dao College. He is the Head Prefect of the Vegetation Department in Holy River Dao College's Alchemy Department!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. Although many of them didn't know the meaning of Head Prefect, they felt that this title sounded very impressive.
Wang Baole snorted in his heart. He looked at Huang Gui with even more disdain.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Huang Gui felt comfortable. However, on the surface, he laughed and waved his hand.
"What's the point of saying all this? We are all classmates. Even if I am the Head Prefect, do you think I am superior to the other students? Zhou Xin, you have to punish yourself with a drink."
The classmate who was trying to curry favor with Huang Gui smiled and raised his wine glass. He drank it in one gulp.
"You are right, Head Prefect. I am just trying to popularize the title of Head Prefect to everyone. It is also to increase everyone's knowledge."
"Oh, you." Huang Gui smiled and shook his head without saying a word. Zhou Xin coughed dryly and continued speaking.
"Students, the title of Head Prefect is not simple. You might not be aware of it, but let me tell you. Head Prefect is a title that stands out among countless people in a department or a hall. He is no longer an ordinary student, but a disciple of the Chancellor. This is the case in any Dao College. Du Min, Wang Baole, is it the same in your Ethereal Dao College?"
Du Min's expression changed slightly. She quickly glanced at Wang Baole and nodded.
Wang Baole touched his nose and looked at Zhou Xin and Huang Gui. He didn't say a word.
After hearing Zhou Xin's introduction, the students at the dining table gasped in shock after learning the meaning of Head Prefect. They looked at Huang Gui with shock. Some even had looks of admiration in their eyes. They raised their wine glasses and began toasting Huang Gui.
Huang Gui smiled and responded to them one by one. However, he only took a small sip each time. Soon, the atmosphere became more lively. His gaze landed on Wang Baole.
One had to know that Wang Baole had not proposed a toast to him from the beginning to the end. That made Huang Gui unhappy, and he spoke with a smile.
He smiled and said, "Baole, I heard that you entered Ethereal Dao College. How are you now?"
Without waiting for Wang Baole to speak, he waved his hand again.
"Forget it. I won't reopen your scars. We are all classmates. You entered Ethereal Dao College after crossing the line. I guess you are still studying hard. Which faculty are you in?"
"Dharmic Armament faculty!" Wang Baole felt his temper rising as he said angrily. "Dharmic Armament faculty.
That's no ordinary faculty. It's difficult. However, as long as you persevere, you will have a bright future. It would be great if you chose the Alchemy faculty. I can still help you. Although I can't help you enter the top hundred of your class, I can still help you enter the top thousand. " Huang Gui didn't care about Wang Baole's tone. From his point of view, the only person worth befriending at this gathering was Du Min.
This was only because Du Min had become prettier. As for the others, Huang Gui felt that he had already opened up a distance that they would never be able to cross in their entire lives.
As Huang Gui continued to brag, Wang Baole grew increasingly annoyed. If they weren't classmates and were in the Dao College, he would have already attacked. Just as he was feeling depressed, he noticed Du Min looking at him with a mocking expression. Wang Baole immediately glared at her.
Seeing Wang Baole's expression, Du Min felt very comfortable. She was in a good mood as she retracted her gaze. When she looked at Huang Gui, she smiled coquettishly.
"Huang Gui, you are absolutely right!"
Seeing that he had gained Du Min's approval, Huang Gui was delighted. He was even more talkative than before as he talked about his experiences in Holy River Dao College. Every time he bragged, it became more obvious.
Wang Baole was already impatient. He missed Liu Daobin. This was just a class reunion. Liu Daobin and the rest weren't from the same foundation school as him. Otherwise, Wang Baole thought that with Liu Daobin around, everything would be perfect if Liu Daobin revealed his identity.
Otherwise, if he were to say it himself, he would be no different from Huang Gui. Such words should be said by someone else. Hence, in his depression, Wang Baole patted his stomach and planned to get up and leave.
At this moment, in the elegant hall of the winery, a middle-aged man with a tall and straight figure and bright eyes walked past the hall. He looked very dignified and seemed to be in a high position. Accompanied by his attendants and the winery's waiters, he walked past the hall and was about to enter the private room in the winery.
However, when he passed by Wang Baole and the rest's table, he glanced over and made a soft sound of surprise. He stopped in his tracks and took a closer look at Wang Baole. Instantly, a smile appeared on his face. He quickened his pace and walked straight to the table where Wang Baole's class reunion was held.
There were many people following him. At this moment, they were surprised, but they quickly followed behind the middle-aged man. Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the table.
Chen Bing, who had become an employee of the Federation, had a change in expression. He quickly stood up. Everyone around him, including Wang Baole, also looked up in surprise. This middle-aged man's aura was clearly different from the rest. One look and they could tell that he was an important person.
The moment they looked over, the middle-aged man laughed heartily.
"You must be Baole. Haha, I'm Daobin's father. I heard from Daobin that you helped him a lot in school. You even helped him get into the College Discipline Department. Uncle thanks you." This middle-aged man was Liu Daobin's father, the Deputy City Lord of Phoenix City. He had seen Wang Baole's picture from Liu Daobin. At this moment, he stepped forward and held Wang Baole's hand with a very amiable smile.
"You're City Lord Liu?" Wang Baole was taken aback before he greeted him with a smile.
"What City Lord? Call me uncle. This meal is on me. Baole, I'll leave our Daobin to you. If he doesn't listen to you, feel free to reprimand him!" Liu Daobin's father was extremely enthusiastic. It was as if he treated Wang Baole as his own nephew. In fact, there was even a hint of politeness in his enthusiasm.
This scene immediately shocked the followers behind him. When they looked at Wang Baole, they started guessing his identity and background.
Soon, Liu Daobin's father picked up his wine glass and toasted everyone at the dining table. In his agitation, Liu Daobin's father hurriedly greeted him. After noticing that he was a Federation employee, Liu Daobin's father nodded and didn't pay much attention to him. He chatted with Wang Baole for a while before leaving.
Everyone at the dining table widened their eyes. After all, Wang Baole's previous words had revealed the other party's identity, and Chen Bing's actions had also proven that point. Therefore, they all fell silent. When they looked at Wang Baole, they were all hesitant.
