Chapter 387: An Eventful Period, Unable to Split Himself In Two
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Qin Kaiyang was the oldest of all the Academy Heads, his body was stronger than most young people. In just a mont, he was dozens of ters away.
It was already too late for Wang Xiao to stop the other party, but the other party’s solemn expression before he left made him very concerned.
Before awakening the [Lord Talent], Wang Xiao often interacted with Qin Kaiyang because of his good results. After he awakened the trashy talent of the [Beast Tar Lord], only Qin Kaiyang and Chen Xue treated him seriously.
Therefore, Wang Xiao knew Qin Kaiyang’s personality quite well. It was not an exaggeration to say that his expression would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. Ordinary situations would definitely not make him lose his composure like this.
“Did sothing happen again?”
Wang Xiao acutely sensed that sothing was wrong and quickly followed without thinking.
Although the Yuheng Academy’s celebration was about to begin, the Academy Head had yet to appear. It was likely that it would be delayed slightly.
On the other hand, Qin Kaiyang was clearly going to the military building. Not only would he know what had happened if he followed him, but he might also find Huang Tingwei. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Unfortunately, his plans changed quickly. Wang Xiao had just taken dozens of steps when he was stopped by a young man who was almost covered in bandages.
“You’re Wang Xiao, right?”
The young man covered in bandages probed. It was a little rude to block the way, but he did not seem to be hostile.
“Yes.”
Wang Xiao nodded. He vaguely felt that this person was a little familiar, but he could not rember who he was. “Who are you?”
The young man was embarrassed for a mont, but he imdiately smiled. “My na is Ma Mingyang. Thank you for saving during the academy’s ranking assessnt.”
‘Ma Mingyang? Save you?”
Wang Xiao’s face blindness acted up again. Just as he was matching this face with a na in his mind, he saw Ma Mingyang take out a ring from his pocket.
This ring was made of mithril and had an exquisite appearance. There was also a crystal clear purple gem embedded on the surface of the ring.
Wang Xiao almost recognized it at a glance. It was the [Protection Ring] that Zhou Xiruo had given him previously. At the sa ti, his mories of Ma Mingyang beca clear.
Previously, during the academy’s ranking assessnt, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo had been trapped by the Lang brothers using the [Challenge Arena]. At that ti, there was also a heavily injured and unconscious student, Yuheng,
with them.
At that ti, Xiao was afraid that the injured would be affected by the battle, so he lent the [Protection Ring] to the other party to protect himself. That person should be this Ma Mingyang in front of him.
“So it’s you! ”
Wang Xiao, who had regained his mories, also smiled. “How are your injuries?”
“They’re all superficial wounds. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days.”
Ma Mingyang smiled and handed over the [Protective Ring] with both hands. “I took the liberty to stop you because I want to return this ring to you. At the sa ti, I want to thank you.”
“We’re all classmates. It’s only right for us to take care of each other. There’s no need to be so polite!”
Wang Xiao waved his hand and took the [Protection Ring]. Just as he was about to bid farewell and chase after Qin Kaiyang, he looked up and realized that Qin Kaiyang had already disappeared.
However, since Qin Kaiyang wanted to go to the military building, Wang Xiao was not afraid of losing him. After bidding farewell to Ma Mingyang, he was about to set off when the communication device in his pocket rang again. “It’s really getting more and more chaotic!”
Wang Xiao cursed in his heart and took out his communicator. When he realized that it was Lin Xiang, his expression imdiately changed. Lin Xiang had promised to reply to him before tonight. Could it be that he had already negotiated with the headquarters and that was why he was looking for him at this ti?
As he thought to himself, Wang Xiao hurriedly pressed the answer button and placed it to his ear. ‘Manager Lin, is it done?”
“Well… I guess so.”
Lin Xiang replied with a strange tone of hesitation. He paused for a mont before continuing, “It’s like this. Soone from our headquarters wants to talk to you face to face. I wonder if it’s convenient for you now?”
“Now?”
Wang Xiao hesitated when he heard this. He was going to the military building now. The academy still had a celebration waiting. Logically speaking, it should not be very convenient.
However, the fact that the people from the Lord’s Shop headquarters had personally co to Kaiyang City ant that they attached great importance to this transaction. If he was late and there was a misunderstanding, it might affect the transaction.
Compared to the upgrade of the [Lord Core], Qin Kaiyang and the celebration did not seem to be that important. After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Xiao finally nodded. “No problem, but I’m in the academy. I need so ti to rush over.”
“No problem!”
Lin Xiang agreed. As if because Wang Xiao had agreed to et face to face, his tone beca much more relaxed. “Then I’ll wait for you in the Lord’s Shop!”
Wang Xiao agreed and hung up the communicator. After thinking for a mont, he dialed Tian Gang’s number and said that he had sothing to deal with at the last minute and might not be able to attend the ceremony in ti. Then, he left the academy and rushed to the trading market.
As soon as he entered the trading market, Wang Xiao saw Lin Xiang guarding the teleportation door. He was stunned for a mont before smiling helplessly. “Manager Lin, I know you’re anxious, but you don’t have to co so far to pick up, right?”
“Shouldn’t we welco an esteed guest from afar?!”
Lin Xiang laughed, then his expression beca strange again. “However, I ca to pick you up this ti because I wanted to remind you of sothing in advance.”
Hearing the seriousness in Lin Xiang’s tone, Wang Xiao’s attitude also beca
serious. “What’s the matter? Is there a problem with that business?”
“It’s still hard to say. It depends on the outco of your eting.”
Lin Xiang waved his hand and paused for a mont before saying, “Let’s get down to business first. The person sent by the headquarters this ti is called Shen Tianlin. We all call him Minister Shen.”
“However, the various departnts in the Lord’s Shop are more complicated, so I won’t waste my breath on the specific situation. In short, he’s one of our executives. Moreover, he has a strong family background and he has a lot of say in the headquarters.”
Wang Xiao nodded thoughtfully. “You an… you want to flatter him?” “There’s no need to flatter him. Just be polite.”
Lin Xiang waved his hand and continued with a strange expression, “Minister Shen is used to giving orders in the headquarters all year round. His temper is a little bad. No matter what he says when you see him, you must not go against him. Just treat it as giving your Brother face, okay?”
“Don’t worry, Manager Lin. I know what to do.”
Wang Xiao nodded with a relaxed expression and did not take it to heart at all.
After all, he had even seen a few lunatics. How bad could this minister’s temper
Seeing Wang Xiao’s relaxed expression, Lin Xiang did not even need to think to know that he was not listening. However, he only smiled bitterly with a complicated expression and did not say anything else.
Although Lin Xiang was the manager of a branch in Kaiyang City, he was still a
small fry in front of Minister Shen. As for Wang Xiao, there was no need to ntion him. After these few transactions, he had already determined that Wang Xiao was his chance to advance to the headquarters.
Lin Xiang was sandwiched between these two people. If he sided with either of them, he might offend the other. Therefore, the safest way was to remain neutral. The fact that he appeared in advance to give Wang Xiao a reminder was already considered benevolent..
