Yuheng Academy.
Wang Xiao searched high and low. Finally, he found Zhou Xiruo alone in a remote corner of the academy.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Wang Xiao took a few steps forward and asked carefully, “Xiruo? Are you alright? I contacted you with the [vassal contract].
Why are you ignoring me?”
“I’m fine. I just want to be alone.”
Zhou Xiruo replied calmly, but her eyes were red. It was obvious that she had just cried.

Zhou Xiruo’s red eyes revealed a hint of confusion. “Liu Yingying? Who is that?”
“It’s the girl I saw before…”
Wang Xiao replied casually. Before he could finish speaking, he realized that something was wrong. Before Zhou Xiruo could flare up, he hurriedly explained, “I wasn’t looking at her at that time… No, I was looking at her, but it wasn’t for that kind of reason. It was another kind of look… Do you understand what I’m saying?
Zhou Xiruo did not speak, but her raised eyebrows showed that she did not understand.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao could only explain from the beginning, including how he met Liu Yingying and why he was stunned when he saw her. In any case, Zhou Xiruo knew that he wanted to upgrade his [Lord Core], so there was naturally nothing to hide.
After hearing Wang Xiao’s explanation, Zhou Xiruo’s expression softened a lot. However, she still rolled her eyes at Wang Xiao and said angrily, “Why are you telling me this? Even if you really like her, it has nothing to do with me.”
“You’re spouting nonsense again!”
Wang Xiao sneered and pulled Zhou Xiruo’s hand. She struggled a few times but could not break free, so she let him pull her along.
“So you’re okay now, right?”
Zhou Xiruo probed with worry in her eyes, “She’s the eldest daughter of the Lord’s Shop. If anything happens, I’m afraid the Lord’s Shop will find trouble with you.”
“Don’t worry. She’s with Academy Head Qin now. Even if something happens, it won’t be my fault.”
Wang Xiao smiled indifferently. Then, he thought of something and asked, “By the way, Academy Head Huang should have already returned, right?”
Zhou Xiruo nodded. “The Academy Head has just returned and is in a meeting with the teachers. Oh right! The Academy Head also asked us to go to his office later. It seems like he wants to inform us about something.”
“Got it.’
Wang Xiao nodded and did not react. After all, he already knew what he wanted to say. He sat with Zhou Xiruo for a while longer. When her emotions completely stabilized, he stood up and walked towards the Academy Head’s office.
Not long after, they arrived at the office door. Yi Han and Xu Junrou were already waiting there.
The two sides greeted each other. Xu Junrou glanced at the closed door of the office and came to Wang Xiao’s side to ask softly, “Do you know why the Academy Head suddenly called us over?”
“If you don’t know, how would I know?”
Wang Xiao casually replied. It was not that he had a problem with Xu Junrou, but Huang Tingwei was about to officially inform her about the situation. It was meaningless for him to say it again now.
Xu Junrou did not suspect anything when she heard this. She sighed and said unhappily, “Yi Han and I were just about to upgrade our [Lord Core] when we were suddenly called over. By the way, has your [Lord Core] been upgraded?”
“Not yet…”
Wang Xiao subconsciously shook his head and suddenly reacted. His expression changed. “You’ve just obtained the [Core Upgrade Stone] and already prepared the upgrade resources?”
“Of course. Is that so strange?”
Xu Junrou asked matter-of-factly, “It was Commander Chen’s personal order to increase Yi Han’s strength as soon as possible. I’ve already collected a lot of resources previously. I’ll just report the rest to Commander Chen.”
When Wang Xiao heard this, he was immediately speechless. He looked at Yi
Han, who was laughing foolishly at the side, and suddenly felt a little envious.
It was only a matter of words for people with backgrounds to level up. As for people without backgrounds like him, they would either have to wake up early and grind the secret realm in the dark, or they would have to cheat and steal.
They were both lords, so why was the difference so huge?
As he was thinking, the office door suddenly opened and Tian Gang and the other teachers walked out one after another.
Seeing Wang Xiao and the others standing outside, Tian Gang was stunned for a moment before reacting. “You’re already here? Quickly go in. The Academy Head is waiting for you.”
“Ok!”
Xu Junrou agreed and entered the office with Gao Lixuan.
Wang Xiao was about to follow in when he suddenly realized that Tian Gang’s expression was a little ugly. He was stunned for a moment before probing,
“Teacher Tian, why do you seem to have a lot on your mind? What happened?”
“The Academy Head…”
Tian Gang was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and paused. After the other teachers left, he sighed and said helplessly, “The
Academy Head is going to leave for a while, so he wants me to be the acting
Academy Head.”
“Acting Academy Head?”
Wang Xiao was delighted when he heard this. “This is a good thing! Why do you seem unhappy?
“How can I be happy!”
Tian Gang sighed. “I’m the least qualified among Yuheng and the other teachers. Aren’t they pushing me into a fire pit by making me the acting Academy Head?!”
When Wang Xiao heard this, he suddenly recalled that when the teachers came out of the Academy Head’s office, they seemed to be ignoring Tian Gang.
However, this was not surprising. After all, no matter how outstanding Tian Gang was, he had only been here for a few months. Now that he had become the acting Academy Head, it was normal for those senior teachers to be indignant.
Tian Gang also understood this, so he did not blame anyone. However, at the same time, he also knew very well that his subsequent days would definitely not go smoothly…
With mixed emotions, Tian Gang sighed and waved his hand helplessly.
“Forget it. Go in first. Don’t make the Academy Head wait.”
Wang Xiao nodded and suddenly thought of something. “Teacher Tian, if you don’t want to do it, why don’t I help you talk to the Academy Head?”
Tian Gang thought for a moment and shook his head. “There’s no need. The
Academy Head must have thought about it carefully before making this choice. This is the trust the Academy Head has in me. If you have any difficulties, overcome them yourself.”
“Alright.”
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and patted Tian Gang’s shoulder. “You can do it,
Academy Head Tian!”
Seeing Tian Gang’s murderous gaze, Wang Xiao laughed and knocked on the door with Zhou Xiruo before entering Huang Tingwei’s office.
Yi Han and Xu Junrou were standing in front of the desk. Huang Tingwei was flipping through some documents. When he saw Wang Xiao enter, he casually placed them down and cleared his throat. “Everyone is here. I have something to announce…”
“Academy Head.”
Xu Junrou raised her hand and interrupted Huang Tingwei. “Brother Xuan… Gao Lixuan isn’t here yet. Are you going to announce it now?”
“That kid isn’t coming today. Go inform him later.”
Huang Tingwei waved his hand and paused for a moment before continuing, “I just received news from the military that they are organizing a school exchange next week. It will be accompanied by me and Kaiyang’s Academy Head Qin. I have three spots open. Which one of you wants to go?”
“Three spots?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. He clearly remembered that there would be five selected students each from Kaiyang and Yuheng.. Why did it suddenly become three spots?
