Chương 182: War God’s — Chapter 183 - The Stern Principal Luo!

"Wang Xian?" Principal Luo paused. Her disciple's little boyfriend? Hearing that name made her angry all over again. That child Ye Miyue had nearly thrown away her talent for this boy. Taking advantage of a moment's inattention during training at Zhufeng Heavenly Lake, she'd sunk straight to the bottom, actually trying to retrieve that Ice Flame! Thank heavens her taboo-tier talent was extraordinary. Thank heavens Luo herself hadn't been distracted and caught it in time.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable. After dragging her ashore, she'd been angrier than she'd ever been in her life. She'd given that child a thorough scolding. At least the girl had obediently admitted her mistake, which had cooled Luo's temper somewhat. But now, hearing this name again, she felt a headache coming on. Seriously. Where did that little brat get such charm to make her own disciple so utterly spellbound... And in the end, she still had to clean up the mess herself...

"Yes!" Shen Lan said eagerly.

"His potential is very high. I chose him mainly because he has real strength—enough that people won't think you just grabbed someone random to make do."

"Otherwise it'd be too obvious."

"His martial talent is high. With some time, he can pick up basic swordsmanship and won't be exposed on stage. Compared to Ye Miyue, his innate talent falls far short, but in terms of overall strength—especially martial arts—he surpasses her without question."

"He qualifies as your temporary personal disciple."

"Exactly." Vice Principal Song nodded.

"Among freshmen and sophomores, it'd be hard to find anyone more suitable, even though he doesn't study the sword. But anyway, since this is, ahem... well..."

"What do you think?" Principal Luo's elegant brows furrowed. She pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

"Have you considered that this is unfair to Wang Xian?"

"He was last year's Martial Exam top scorer. Losing to foreign martial powerhouses in front of so many witnesses at the Grandmaster Grand Banquet must have dealt a serious blow to his confidence."

"The martial path demands fearless advance. You cannot lose your fighting spirit."

"Unless his inner self is incredibly strong, having long placed victory and defeat beyond concern. A pure martial fanatic."

"Otherwise, for someone who chose the Old Martial path from day one and is inwardly extremely proud, how could he not care about winning or losing?"

"In this world, how many warriors truly don't care about victory or defeat?" Stolen novel; please report.

"Why would he agree to be the sacrificial pawn?"

"For him, this is unfair." Principal Luo's expression was stern.

"I cannot send someone else up to lose face just because my disciple can't afford to lose hers!" The group fell silent. She had a point.

"But what about Tiandu University?" Vice Principal Song sighed.

"The Dragon Nation's Five Greats represent the nation's face. We cannot afford to lose it... Everything you said, I've considered. My plan was to provide Wang Xian with additional educational resources afterward as compensation. Of course, only if he agrees. I won't force it."

"We'll just do our best to persuade him." Principal Luo shook her head.

"That will be very difficult..." Unless they had Ye Miyue persuade him. Then it might be possible. But these past days, she'd come to understand her disciple very well. This little disciple cared about her boyfriend far more than average. She definitely wouldn't agree.

"We'll try our best. If he refuses, we'll look for someone else..." Shen Lan glanced at everyone.

"I still feel like we should be able to persuade him...", March 1st. Wang Xian and Ye Miyue boarded the return train to Tiandu.

"What's that?" On the train, Ye Miyue pointed at the sash around Wang Xian's waist.

"Did someone give it to you? I've never seen it before." She'd wanted to ask the whole way. Because Wang Xian hadn't brought any luggage. Strange.

"Shh..." Wang Xian touched the spatial sash. First time using this thing. Still felt novel.

"Guess." Wang Xian smiled. An extra reward from the Qiongwu Preliminary Trial. They only had two or three over there. In the present day, it was certainly rare. Ye Miyue didn't guess. Just gave a soft hmph and turned her head away. Her smooth hair brushed past Wang Xian's head, carrying a subtle fragrance.

"It was given by someone else." Wang Xian nodded.

"Very impressive item..." He whispered a few words in Ye Miyue's ear. Her eyes went wide.

"There's really equipment like that?" Spatial storage. She hadn't heard much about it.

"Modern smelting studies have been working on this for a while." Wang Xian said.

"Limited by materials, can't be mass-produced. Only small batches." Hearing this, Ye Miyue bit her lip lightly.

"Then it must be very precious..." Mass production or not, she didn't quite understand. But portable spatial storage had to be extremely precious!

"It is very precious." Wang Xian said. After all, you had to seize the dragon flag in the Qiongwu Preliminary Trial for the military to award it as an extra prize. Normally, even with good results in the preliminary trial, you might not get one. Ye Miyue fell silent.

"It's not that I wasn't going to tell you. I just started using it myself." Wang Xian sensed the girl's mood dropping, probably thinking he'd kept it from her.

"Mm..." Ye Miyue responded, then turned to look at Wang Xian, cheeks flushed but voice direct.

"Who... who gave it to you?" If it was a gift, how deep would that friendship have to be? Wang Xian saw this, eyes narrowing with a smile.

"Yes, someone gave it to me." Ye Miyue pressed her lips together. Her face didn't say 'I'm unhappy,' but her eyes kept alternating between glaring at Wang Xian and darting away shyly. Her feet twisted together lightly, tapping the floor from time to time. She looked like she wanted to ask, was a bit angry, but didn't know what to do about it. Wang Xian was amused. Thinking back to that aloof school beauty Ye Miyue from high school, he could probably only catch glimpses of that version in bed now...

"Official personnel gave it to me after I participated in a competition." Wang Xian didn't elaborate on the Qiongwu Preliminary Trial. He'd signed a confidentiality agreement, after all. The Qiongwu trial was currently a military activity with certain secrecy requirements. Having said that, Wang Xian whispered something in Ye Miyue's ear. Her face instantly turned fiery red, a large patch of crimson spreading like burning clouds. She reached out and immediately pushed at Wang Xian, trying to shove him away.

As if he were covered head to toe in evil, a complete villain.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Wang Xian said, exasperated.

"I just said I bought you a few outfits, stored inside. In the future, if we go adventuring together, warrior battles and all, clothes getting torn up is common."

"On normal trips you can't bring many clothes. I prepared a few sets for you, and you're not even happy about it." Ye Miyue glared at him with a mix of shame and indignation, an expression that clearly said 'you think I don't know what you're planning.'

"If you don't want them, I'll give them to someone else to wear." Wang Xian stretched lazily.

"Don't you dare!" Ye Miyue clenched her fist and shot Wang Xian a fierce glare. ➤ Next: Let Master See What This Little Boyfriend of Yours Looks Like!
