185: Chapter 185 Principal, what about your vision?
Song Houcai on the ground had been dragged away, and the floor had been washed clean. Ji Shuyue looked at Yun Zhuo curiously.
However, Yun Zhuo suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Yang Jing, who was trying to slip away in the chaos.
He had come to the Mission Management Office today for two reasons: first, to submit his missions, and second, to find this guy to place a bet so that he could graduate sooner.
Now that Yun Zhuo had Nun Village, his mind was no longer on his studies. If he wanted to learn something or didn't understand something, didn't he have Teacher Su right by his side?
The only things in the school that could still attract him now were Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques.
And these required academic credits to exchange for. If he wanted to quickly accumulate enough academic credits, it wasn't by doing missions—although everyone else was doing missions, and it was the only way for students to earn academic credits.
But now it was different; he could win them.
In any case, the school didn't have a rule forbidding students from using academic credits to gamble.
Otherwise, why would Yun Zhuo waste his breath convincing a kid like Yang Jing to open a betting pool?
Everything was planned by Yun Zhuo. Once the betting pool was opened, the next step was to place a bet on himself to win.
In order not to affect his odds, he couldn't show that he seemed to have a good relationship with Ji Shuyue right now, because she was the representative of the Ji Family of the Twelve Families in the school.
Who knew if some guy might have a brain cramp and claim he was from the Ji Family? If he had the Ji Family backing him, it wouldn't be so easy for Chen Qi to kill him.
This would affect his odds, and he would earn less then.
While holding onto Yang Jing to keep him from running, Yun Zhuo said to Ji Shuyue, "Principal Ji, are you questioning the decisions of Principal Si and Principal Chen?"
Yun Zhuo was expressionless, his tone stiff, which made Ji Shuyue pause.
No, did this kid take the wrong medicine? Why is he losing his temper at me?
She subconsciously clenched her fists. Or is it that my temper is too good? Has this kid started to push his luck?
"Looking at the time you took to accept the missions, it's been five days at most. You're a freshman who hasn't even taken the placement test yet, yet you can complete thirty A-grade missions in one go. Shouldn't this be questioned?"
Now it was Yun Zhuo's turn to be surprised.
What is wrong with this woman today? For someone with such status, shouldn't she just snort coldly and leave after hearing my stiff words, and then settle scores with me later?
Why is she arguing with me face-to-face? As the principal of this Super-First-Class Martial Arts University, why is your perspective as small as a self-employed landlady's?
Seeing that Yun Zhuo didn't speak, Ji Shuyue felt both angry and amused.
She didn't know why, but she didn't usually think of this kid. Yet, as soon as she saw him, it seemed like she could forget all her troubles.
It was just comfortable to look at him, so she couldn't bring herself to hate him either.
"Principal Ji, you aren't questioning me right now; you're questioning Principal Si and Principal Chen."
Ji Shuyue glanced at Si Qingyun and Chen Tianfang beside her, then glared at Yun Zhuo and said, "You brat, how dare you sow discord here?"
"Don't go pinning false labels on me; I'm just discussing the matter as it stands."
"Discussing the matter as it stands, is it? Fine. Aren't you here to submit missions? Take out your mission tokens and I'll watch you submit them."
As she said this, she walked over and gave Yun Zhuo a hard push. "Go! What are you standing there for?"
Yun Zhuo stumbled, dragging Yang Jing with him.
Yang Jing looked at the aggressive Principal Ji, then glanced at Yun Zhuo.
He was inwardly miserable. You have the ability, you have the guts, and you dare to provoke the Principal.
But when you provoke the Principal, don't drag me into it!
Why do you have to keep holding onto me?
Yun Zhuo, on the other hand, felt that Ji Shuyue must have taken the wrong medicine today; otherwise, why would she insist on making things difficult for him?
Before he could even open his mouth, he was grabbed by the shoulders by Ji Shuyue and pressed in front of the window.
Behind them, Chen Tianfang secretly sized up Si Qingyun. Seeing him with his hands behind his back, seemingly calm and collected, yet his eyes were fixed tightly on that kid Yun Zhuo, his brows knitted so tightly they could crush a fly.
The group of principals all knew that Si Qingyun had a crush on Ji Shuyue.
Usually, he appeared gentle and refined, with great bearing, but who would have thought he was also a jealous person.
"Um, I have things to do, so I'll be going first."
After Chen Tianfang finished speaking, he realized Si Qingyun didn't seem to hear him, so he added, "Principal Si, aren't you leaving?"
Only then did Si Qingyun turn back to look at him. Seeing his half-smiling expression, he knew that this guy surnamed Chen wasn't plotting anything good.
But he hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not going the same way as you."
Chen Tianfang sighed, "Thirty-something A-grade missions—submitting them probably won't be that fast."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Aren't you waiting here for Principal Ji?"
Si Qingyun retorted, "Aren't you curious why that kid was able to do so many A-grade missions?"
Chen Tianfang laughed, "No matter how many missions he completes, it doesn't change the fact that he's about to die."
"Completing thirty A-grade missions in five days—even your Young Master Chen doesn't have this kind of ability."
"He certainly doesn't, but that kid's strength can't be brought into the exam hall, so he still has to die."
"Are you so certain?"
"Didn't Principal Ji tell you? Teacher Su of the Remote Department is his War Princess?"
"Teacher Su of the Remote Department?" Si Qingyun thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly narrowing, "You mean Su Qingtang is his War Princess?"
"Heh, do you think Su Qingtang can enter the exam hall?"
"Principal Chen, wait."
Si Qingyun glanced at Ji Shuyue, and in the end, still chased after Chen Tianfang out of the mission hall.
"What does this have to do with Principal Ji?"
Chen Tianfang said expressionlessly, "Thanks to Principal Ji, that scoundrel has contracted both of The two Su sisters."
"When did this happen?"
"I don't know. Go ask Principal Ji. This matter was arranged by her personally; she knows it better than anyone else."
"You're so close to her; has she never told you?"
"This isn't an important matter to her, so she doesn't need to tell me everything."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, that kid is going to die, right?" Chen Tianfang patted Si Qingyun on the shoulder.
But Si Qingyun suddenly looked at the hand that was patting him.
Seeing his hostile gaze, Chen Tianfang's hand stiffened, and he awkwardly smiled and pulled his hand back.
"Principal Chen, have you never thought that the person who might die this time is Chen Qi?"
"Impossible."
"Heh, then let's wait and see."
As he said this, Si Qingyun looked back at the mission hall. 'Shu Yue, oh Shu Yue, do you know you are playing with fire?'
Inside the mission hall, it took Yun Zhuo an hour to finally finish settling all the A-grade missions.
Thirty thousand academic credits arrived in his account. The next step was to go exchange for a Cultivation Technique.
But before that, he had to get rid of this woman, Ji Shuyue.
Ji Shuyue had been standing behind him, watching him quietly for an hour. The amazing thing was that she didn't feel bored at all.
She even forgot the time, until the teacher at the window reported to her, "Principal Ji, after our careful verification, these missions were indeed completed by student Yun Zhuo. There are no problems."
Only then did Ji Shuyue realize that she had been watching this kid for a full hour.
The last time she had a situation like this was back in college, when she was binge-watching a show she liked.
Ji Shuyue nodded at the teacher inside, "Thank you for your hard work."
"You're too polite, Principal Ji. This is what we should be doing."
Yun Zhuo said, "Principal Ji, shouldn't you be leaving now?"
