Chapter 36: The University of Draupcester’s Plan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Leng Buwei’s second daughter?”

“I heard that she’s three years younger than Leng Rushuang. They’re about the same age.”

“If it’s someone from the Leng family, they might be able to do it.”

Hearing someone mention this hypothesis, the others began to discuss it. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible.

After all, it was impossible for the Black Dragon Gang to deal with all the spatial rifts as it was a strenuous and unrewarding task.

The other orthodox organizations would not interfere in Draupcester City’s mystic mine matters.

Even if there was a reason why they had to come, they would definitely take the initiative to inform the University of Draupcester.

In addition, Doveston City—where Leng Ruzhi was currently—was indeed closer to the mine.

Excluding all other possibilities.

The possibility of Leng Ruzhi doing this alone was indeed much higher.

Although they did not have any concrete evidence, the senior management of the University of Draupcester thought that they had discovered the truth.

After hesitating for a moment, the principal—Lin Huaiyuan—looked at Li Yunhua and nodded.

“Since you have already reported this to us, you can go back and rest.”

Li Yunhua understood that the school wanted to hold a discussion and make a decision about this matter. He was only a third-year student, so it was not convenient for him to be present.

After Li Yunhua left, Lin Huaiyuan had a solemn expression.

He asked, “How do you think we should deal with this matter?”

Immediately, someone made a suggestion.

“I think we should make this matter public and let everyone know that the Second Miss of the Leng family did such a great deed. This will allow us to form a closer relationship with the Leng family.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea to do that. In the east, The Leng family’s position is much higher than that of any other force. Do you know what kind of background the Leng family has? How many honors do they have? Do you think they lack a reputation? Don’t shoot yourself in the foot! What if we end up incurring Leng Buwei’s displeasure?”

“Then what do you reckon we should do?”

The two elderly professors seemed like they were about to get into an argument over this.

Lin Huaiyuan shook his head helplessly and expressed his opinion.

“No matter what, we need to be clear about one thing,” he said.

“The University of Draupcester shouldn’t get into any conflicts with the Leng family. Instead, we should try our best to befriend them.”

“It will be great if the Second Miss of the Leng family can also enroll in the University of Draupcester.”

Hearing Lin Huaiyuan’s words, no one had any objections. They nodded in agreement.

Thus, Lin Huaiyuan continued to speak.

“We don’t know the Leng family’s attitude toward this matter.”

“Why don’t we ask them about it?”

“How do you mean?” asked everyone.

They were a little stunned.

Lin Huaiyuan smiled.

“The University of Draupcester has always been Sunrise High School’s sister school. Every year, we send out a few guaranteed spots.”

“This time, why don’t we use this as an excuse to interact with Leng Ruzhi?”

“This way, not only can we keep Leng Ruzhi in our school, but we can ask her about her opinion regarding the mystic mine’s matter.”

“Whether she wants to announce it or keep it a secret is entirely up to her.”

“What do you think, everyone?”

Hearing this, everyone thought for a moment and felt it was feasible.

In previous years, they recruited students at a different time. However, no one would find it strange if they made a trip there in advance.

On the other hand, if they could not get Leng Ruzhi’s answer on the mystic mine’s matter, others might discover what had happened and make it public. This would inevitably affect the University of Draupcester’s chance to befriend the Leng family!

There was no time to lose. They should indeed proceed quickly!

“In that case, I’ll discuss it with Wang Wenfeng and prepare to set off in the next few days!”

It was 10 o’clock at night.

The library was already closed.

Most of the students would not continue to study until now. Even some of the more hardworking students had headed back to rest.

Soon, only Chen Feng was left in the library.

Mr. Huang looked at Chen Feng and greeted him from afar.

“Chen, I won’t close the door.”

“Saves you having to open it again.”

Hearing that, Chen Feng hurriedly got up and walked to the entrance of the library.

Mr. Huang usually took good care of him and his attitude was very gentle. Chen Feng was naturally very polite to such an elder. He watched Mr. Huang return to his dormitory.

Just as he was about to turn back to his seat to continue studying, a familiar figure walked over from afar.

It was actually Wang Wenfeng!

Seeing that he seemed to be heading toward the library, Chen Feng was slightly taken aback. He simply stood where he was and waited for the principal.

“Chen Feng, I want to treat you to supper tonight and have a simple chat with you. Are you willing?” asked Wang Wenfeng.

Hearing the principal’s cheerful words, although Chen Feng was puzzled, he did not refuse.

No matter if it was good or bad, the principal was willing to take the initiative to look for him because he thought highly of him.

It would be a little ungrateful if he did not accept the principal’s invitation.

Seeing Chen Feng’s respectful expression, Wang Wenfeng smiled and led Chen Feng to the third floor of the school canteen.

The last time Chen Feng came, he could not bear to eat a single dish. That was because the expense here was too high.

Despite earning tens of thousands of yuan from Black Dragon Gang’s Liu Yong, Chen Feng still had not spent it.

He did not want to attract attention.

Thus, Chen Feng had never tasted the food on the third floor.

Wang Wenfeng picked up the menu and quickly ordered a few dishes. Then, he handed the menu to Chen Feng.

“I’m old, so I like to eat simple and non-greasy food. I don’t know what young people like to eat.”

“Go ahead and order whatever you want. Don’t worry. You don’t have to pay. Hahaha!” Wang Wenfeng chuckled.

Hearing the principal’s words, Chen Feng gradually relaxed.

Then, the two of them chatted briefly.

It was nothing more than about life and learning. Chen Feng’s answers were more appropriate and neither servile nor overbearing.

This made Wang Wenfeng have a much better impression of Chen Feng.

After the dishes were served and the waiter closed the door to the private room, Wang Wenfeng finally explained the reason for his sudden appearance that day.

“Chen Feng, do you have any plans for your future?”

This time, Chen Feng did not give a direct answer. Instead, he put on a thoughtful expression.

On the surface, Chen Feng appeared to be thinking about his future. However, in reality, he was trying to guess the meaning behind Wang Wenfeng’s words.

No one knew if Wang Wenfeng had seen through Chen Feng’s thoughts.

Wang Wenfeng merely smiled. Seemingly muttering to himself, he said, “I know that kids your age want to become more powerful and then go to the front lines and serve the country.”

“However, not everyone can achieve great things. That is the helplessness of life.”

“Sometimes I wonder…”

“If everyone has to go to the front line to fight, then…”

“Years later… 10 years, 20 years later, or even 50 years later, what will the school do?”

Hearing that, Chen Feng was slightly taken aback.

“You mean…”

Wang Wenfeng did not beat around the bush and voiced his thoughts.

“I think that if a talent like you is willing to return to your alma mater to teach after graduating from university, you will definitely become a very outstanding teacher.”

“If you’re willing, I can take you in as my disciple.”

“What do you think, Chen Feng?”
