The storm in Glio City gradually subsided. That Yuan Venerate of Mixiu nation had used Raven as a chess piece to achieve his initial goal: to deal a severe blow to Maioxi, the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the Heavenly Dog, and the other small forces, reshuffling the big forces and balancing them out.
After this matter, the Tengu seemed to still be under the jurisdiction of the Church, but the actual Pope was Levis, and Levis had also become a member of the War Sect.
Thus, Tengu had essentially developed into an intelligence network under Battle Sect's banner. But its internal structure was still very chaotic. Although those who could become Tengu were all elites, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal thought that they still had to set stricter standards; at the very least, they had to pass a moral test first.
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal couldn't allow some people to wear Tengu's cloak and do whatever they wanted in the intelligence business. Thus, these days, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had been thinking about a strict reset structure as well as a reshuffling plan specifically for Tengu.
On the other side, Kyouko Ryoko had also returned to Huaxiu nation with Qin Zong and Xiang Yi. They had been a lot of help in carrying out the mission in Glio city this time. At the same time, they had used the Kyouko family's power to deal with the major Black and White Bandits, and in the end, they had helped Lotus Sun clear her name in a very short period of time.
Most importantly, the wonderful combination of Kuamiya Ryoko, Xiang Yi and Qin Zong had not been fully understood by the public in Glio City.
They were like a small knife hidden in the depths of a cotton-padded coat, lying dormant and waiting for a fatal strike.
Lotus Sun had never liked to owe people favors, but this time, she knew that she owed a big one.
Later, he would have to find a chance to properly thank Ryoko Kumiya.
…
It was the morning self-study session on Tuesday, January 6th, the second day after Wang Ling and the others had returned to China. The class was a lot livelier than usual as a number of students from other classes came to join in on the fun and asked Wang Ling and the others about their participation in the variety show.
Most people didn't know the truth, and only knew that Lotus Sun had taken a group of people to participate in Mixiu nation's variety show to win glory for the school. But there were many different opinions in the class as to what program they were participating in, and everyone had their own version of it.
As a result, many people came to class early in the morning to ask Lotus Sun for confirmation.
"Lotus Sun, what kind of variety show are you participating in? Running around ripping off name tags? Or do you want to go on a trip with another high school group and get into a fight on the way? "
"…"
"Eh? Judging from this reaction, it shouldn't be the ones mentioned above. Could it be that a group of people went to the wilderness to open up wastelands and build a home with local materials? "
"No … that's not it …" Lotus Sun was a little dazed by the barrage of questions.
"None of them? Don't tell me he's participating in some talent show! " Someone suddenly exclaimed, "A while ago, there was even a talent show that printed the QR code on the spirit milk boxes in order to help the older brothers and sisters vote for them. Some people just scanned the QR code without drinking the milk to support the person they liked. They poured out all the milk! What a waste! "
"Of course, this kind of behavior is wrong, but the variety show we're participating in is similar to a secret room … It has nothing to do with this." Lotus Sun had no choice but to explain, "Also, something went wrong during the recording, so this variety show probably won't be able to air."
At that moment, the No. 60 High students who had come to watch the show sighed one after another after hearing the truth.
"Sigh, what a pity."
Jiang Bai from Class Two said, "Fang Xing and Li Youyue from our class also went, so I heard a little about it. It's said that our No. 60 High's opponent this time is the top high school in Mixiu nation! Maelstrom Imperial Palace! "
"Oh! It's them! I've heard of this school. Maelstrom Imperial Palace has produced six new child prodigies this year? They're already at the Golden Core stage in Grade One, just like the teachers! They're terrifyingly strong! "
"That's right. The key is that they don't eat much cultivation resources. I heard that they rely purely on hard work and talent to get there. This is a tradition in Maelstrom Imperial Palace in Glio city. Every day is a day where they break through their limits through completely enclosed pressure training. "
"That's why a lot of people drop out midway because they can't take it anymore. But those who stay are the cream of the crop."
A student who was in the know went on and on. "They rely on this extreme cultivation method to cultivate all the way to Grade Three. Only the students who make it to the end will Maelstrom Imperial Palace pool their resources to help them break through again. A lot of people have already been overwhelmed by this training method and dropped out of school, so the resources are relatively more concentrated. The students at the top who persevere to the end can eat more cultivation resources. "
"Doesn't that mean they'll be even more heaven-defying when they cultivate to Grade Three?"
"Mm. I heard that in Maelstrom Imperial Palace, it's not like there haven't been students who almost reached the Nascent Soul stage in high school in the past. Given their life-or-death cultivation method, they'll be at the late Golden Core stage by Grade Three at the very least. "
"Late Golden Core stage … that's a level that a lot of people can only reach in their fourth or fifth year in a ten-year cultivation university!"
"So whether it's in Glio city or the other provinces and cities in Mixiu nation, Maelstrom Imperial Palace's combat strength is number one! If we can compete with them, it'll actually be very helpful for us to study our opponents in other cultivation countries. "
"Don't worry, there's plenty of time in the future. There'll always be a chance."
At that moment, Super Chen suddenly spoke up.
It was a pity for Super Chen that the variety show challenge had suddenly stopped recording this time. Deep down in the Old Chen family's bones was the desire to compete with the strong; the stronger the opponent, the easier it was to stimulate one's potential.
Super Chen knew that the people in Maelstrom Imperial Palace weren't weak, but if No. 60 High joined forces, Super Chen felt that they still had a chance of winning.
They might not be able to beat them one-on-one, but in terms of teamwork, No. 60 High had been through so much, and their teamwork wouldn't be any weaker than that of any other high school.
…
In fact, when Super Chen said "there's plenty of time in the future," Wang Ling already had a feeling that it might not be too long before he met Maelstrom Imperial Palace again and again.
During the lunch break that day, Wang Ling saw Lotus Sun writing the afternoon class schedule on the blackboard, and at the same time, her gaze kept sweeping over him.
Wang Ling guessed that Lotus Sun most likely had something to say to him.
He looked down at his textbook and pretended that nothing had happened. Sure enough, after Lotus Sun finished writing on the blackboard, she came looking for him.
It was because of Madam Lavin's request for her autograph.
Lotus Sun had already checked the notebook with the pure gold edge several times and hadn't found anything wrong with it, so she wanted to show it to Wang Ling.
"Wang Ling, can you help me check it?" She looked at the youngster with a smile, and was just about to take the notebook out of her storage bag when a group of boys lurking in the corridor suddenly rushed over.
"What?! Which bold mascot wants to check Classmate Lotus Sun's body?! "
"Damn it! So it's a body check! How can you cultivate?! "
Agitated, the group of boys swarmed over, and the originally quiet classroom immediately turned into chaos.
Everyone scrambled to be the first to rush in, giving Wang Ling a fright.
In a moment of desperation, Wang Ling had no choice but to sigh in his heart. He snapped his fingers to pause time, then put his hand gently on Lotus Sun's shoulder and moved her to the Student Union office. He then snapped his fingers again to undo the pause.
Lotus Sun flushed red to her ears. "Sorry, Wang Ling … I didn't expect so many people to be eavesdropping. I think it's safer to come to the Student Union office next time."
As she said this, she handed the notebook to Wang Ling.
Wang Ling only glanced at it before returning it.
"Eh? Is there a problem? "Lotus Sun asked.
"No," Wang Ling replied, his words as precious as gold.
Lotus Sun nodded with a relieved expression. "That's good … it seems I was thinking too much …"
As soon as she said this, a girl from another class suddenly stumbled into the Student Union office and fell to the ground. Her face was red to the ears as she searched for her glasses on the floor and apologized, "So … sorry … President Lotus Sun, I didn't hear anything! I didn't hear you say you were thinking about Classmate Wang at all! "
"I clearly said I was thinking too much, not that I was thinking about Classmate Wang …" Lotus Sun dropped her forehead into her hand, feeling like her face was so hot it could roast meat.
"Oh, I see, then it's fine."
The girl found her glasses, then hurriedly put them on and got up from the floor.
Looking at the girl's face, Lotus Sun finally asked, "I remember you're from Regular Class One, Classmate Chen Qin?"
"Yes! It's me! "The girl in glasses looked excited." As expected of President Lotus Sun, you're very capable! I heard that the Student Union office can accept commissions, is that true? "
"Commissions?" Lotus Sun and Wang Ling blinked at the same time.
"That's right, I heard there's something called the Gray Sect … they can help people solve their problems or something."
"…"
Lotus Sun was speechless.
She was well aware that this "help people solve their problems" actually referred to the fact that the Gray Sect could help its followers, as well as students who had recommendation letters from their followers, solve the problem of memorizing books.
After all, the Gray Sect was essentially just a literary organization.
What Lotus Sun had never expected was that the matter would actually spread like this …
Just as she was about to refuse, this girl called Chen Qin had an expectant expression on her face as she grabbed Lotus Sun's hand. "President! Can you let me finish my story?! Just for a while! I heard that you can directly contact the leader of the Gray Sect … he's a very sensitive person, maybe he can help me solve my problems! Of course, it's fine even if you don't accept my commission! "
"But …"
"I'm not a freeloader. Since I'm thick-skinned enough to ask for help, I naturally have to show some sincerity, I understand!" This girl called Chen Qin said, "Our school's canteen is actually outsourced to my father. If President Lotus Sun agrees to help me pass on the message, whether or not you accept it, you can choose whatever you want in the canteen for the year! Of course, if President Lotus Sun doesn't like this privilege, you can give it to someone else! "
"Then are there any new snacks in the school canteen this year?" Lotus Sun asked.
"There aren't any new snacks, but there are new flavors, like potato chips, potato sticks, crispy noodle snacks, and so on," Chen Qin said.
"…"
Hearing this, Lotus Sun took a deep breath and stepped forward to take Chen Qin's hand. "Sister, you've taken a wider path!"
Chen Qin: "Ah?"
Lotus Sun: "What I mean is … you can boldly tell me your dreams now!"
