Chapter 887: Chapter 892: Kindergarten Activity (Part 1)
"Hey, Teacher Zhu, what’s up?" Lin Xi answered the call and, without waiting for the other side to speak, continued, "Haven’t seen me for a day, must be missing me, right!"
There was a brief silence on the other end before a response came,
"Where did you go yesterday?"
"Why didn’t you reply to my WeChat message?"
"You know, requesting leave is something you need to tell the teacher yourself, not have me do it for you. This isn’t high school!"
"Every class at Jiangnan University is important. I recommend that unless absolutely necessary, you mustn’t take leave."
"You have to understand that out of all the students across the country who want to get into our university, over ninety-nine percent don’t get the chance."
"Since you’ve been admitted, you should cherish it!"
"Not be so casual like yesterday!"
"..."
Lin Xi was holding his phone, completely stunned. He could sense Zhu Ying’s anger, but he never expected her to preach rather than scold. It was more terrifying than being yelled at, and she was going on and on without showing any sign of stopping.
It made him see Zhu Ying in a new light.
Of course, he couldn’t really argue back.
But it was clear this was Zhu Ying’s way of showing concern, so all he could do was mutter ’uh-huh,’ and promise not to screw up next time.
When Zhu Ying seemed ready to continue, Lin Xi interrupted, "Teacher Zhu, class is starting, let’s talk next time!"
The other side responded with an ’mm,’ and Lin Xi couldn’t help but add, "How about I come to your place tonight, and you can properly talk to me, Teacher?"
The line immediately cut off with the sound of a "beep beep beep," clearly indicating the call had been hung up.
Lin Xi chuckled, Teacher Zhu was still too shy. Despite being so proactive and enthusiastic last time, why not go for it again!
Well, last time she and Principal Lin probably drank too much, so some feelings might have been hazy.
Looks like he needs to find another chance to help them shed their shyness.
Only then can the true meaning of life be truly experienced.
Meanwhile, he needs to find a time in the coming days to apply the "Foundation Establishment of a Hundred Days" with the Nine Divine Needles of Heaven-Reversing on both women, aiming to help them reach the Soldier King realm sooner.
Why not right now?
Because once "Foundation Establishment of a Hundred Days" is applied, he’ll be in a weakened state for about half a day.
In such a state, facing strong enemies would be risky.
Especially with those foreign innate powerhouses likely looking to make a move in these few days.
Upon reaching the classroom, he noticed the strength of Peng Bo and the other two had significantly increased, evidently having taken the pills he provided.
Combined with his previous cleansing of their meridians, Peng Bo and Xiong Haitao were now both advanced special forces soldiers, and even Cui Hua, who was the weakest before, seemed to have advanced to intermediate special forces soldier this morning.
Previously, while Peng Bo and Xiong Haitao were training diligently, Cui Hua wasn’t putting in as much effort.
But now, seemed like the stimulus from last time motivated him to start training hard too.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to reach intermediate special forces in just a few days.
Ding Yueqiu, who was always in the corner, experienced even more improvement, suggesting the pills were particularly beneficial to her.
It’s believed she could break through to the Soldier King realm at any moment now.
Remember, she was just an intermediate special forces soldier when she arrived in Chuzhou City, and in less than two months, she’s improved to this extent.
For her, it’s something she never dared to imagine.
Because of this, she wasn’t opposed to staying by Lin Xi’s side, and the poison on her was long removed by him.
Even when Lin Xi wanted her gone now, she’d rather not leave.
Yet she was curious about why the club wasn’t contacting her.
Especially since the Ace Assassin was killed by Lin Xi last time, the club surely knows about it, and knows she’s fine in Chuzhou City.
So they should be contacting her to ask about the situation!
But they’ve asked nothing, making her a bit worried.
If the club does send someone again, they would surely be stronger, capable of assassinating a Peak Soldier King.
At that time, Lin Xi could be in danger.
What she doesn’t know is that even if the head of the Dark Dragon Club came, to Lin Xi now, they would be nothing more than a small character easy to crush with one hand.
After all, not many knew of Lin Xi’s advancement to the Innate Realm.
She thought she should find a time to discuss this with Lin Xi, at least give him some mental preparation.
With preparation, even if the club sends people, Lin Xi may not win, but at least he could survive.
Gu Xiaoxian continued to sit upright at her seat, occasionally stealing glances at Lin Xi, pondering why he missed classes yesterday. Could something have happened?
But seeing him chatting happily with Peng Bo and the others, she relaxed.
However, the class monitor Xue Qin didn’t show a pleasant face towards Lin Xi. She already didn’t have a good impression of him, and now hearing he skipped class yesterday.
This hooligan is surely up to something shady again.
After the two morning classes ended, Lin Xi had lunch with Peng Bo and the other two. Back at the dorm, they seemed eager, immediately asking Lin Xi how the pills he gave them could have such strong effects?
They’re practically divine pills.
Lin Xi didn’t explain much. At their current level, the less they know, the safer they are.
Know that if such pills were to leak outside, or known by those with ulterior motives, it would definitely create an uproar.
Even innate powerhouses would be tempted.
That’s why he only gave the pills to trusted people, who wouldn’t reveal them.
Of course, he stressed that the pills were for personal use only and couldn’t be shared.
If ordinary people took a Bone Refining Pill, they would surely die from body explosion, which is why he instructed Zhu Ying to dissolve the pills in the bathtub.
Even dissolved in a bathtub full of water, they were left powerless and feeling as if their bodies were being scraped by knives.
The special forces level Peng Bo and the others found it quite unbearable too, but their level could endure it.
This was also why Lin Xi gave them the pills without supervising.
In the afternoon, when the four of them were heading to class together, halfway there, Lin Xi’s phone rang.
Who could it be?
Generally, he doesn’t receive calls for days, but there was one in the morning, and now another at noon.
Could it be Zhu Ying again?
Not likely!
He checked and saw it was an unknown number.
"Hello?" Lin Xi answered, puzzled.
A soft female voice immediately came from the other side, "Are you Mr. Lin?"
"Yes!" Lin Xi responded and asked, "Who are you?"
"I’m from the XXX kindergarten, Xixi is our student, and she gave me your number!"
Lin Xi frowned, "She gave you my number?"
"Is there something wrong with her?"
"Nothing’s wrong, there’s an event this afternoon, but her mom can’t make it, so we’re contacting you!"
"Me?"
"Yes, who else could we contact? You’re her dad after all!"
Lin Xi, "....."
A few seconds later, he replied, "Okay, I’ll be right over!"
After hanging up, Lin Xi briefly informed Peng Bo and headed outside the campus.
Master Li was indeed still there waiting for people, and when he saw Lin Xi, he quickly walked over and asked if Lin Xi needed a ride.
Lin Xi nodded without hesitation, got in the car and gave the address, and the car sped to the kindergarten.
But while in the car, Lin Xi remembered he seemed to have forgotten to request leave.
Furthermore, this afternoon’s class was with an old professor, one of those notoriously stubborn ones who rarely accepts leave requests.
Looks like he’ll have to bother Teacher Zhu again.
He opened WeChat and sent a message to ask Teacher Zhu to handle his leave, then pocketed his phone, ignoring it.
Yeah, Teacher Zhu will surely sort it out!
