Chapter 634 - Jiang Xu’s regrets (1/2)

Translator: Legge

The next day, Ren Xiaosu went to school as usual. Last night, he had been waiting for Qin Sheng and Old Li to come and ask him if he was the one who killed that supernatural being. However, Qin Sheng did not come over.

But actually, it was unnecessary to ask too much. The moment that armor appeared, many questions were answered.

It was as though everyone tacitly understood what had happened. I know that it was you, and I know that you already know…

This was probably what the situation was like.

When Ren Xiaosu walked into Qinghe University, he could hear some students discussing last night’s incident.

Ren Xiaosu approached and listened in on their conversation.

“A big battle had broken out between superhumans in the city last night. Could that be the reason why our school is under lockdown? It looks like something big is really going to unfold in Luoyang City.”

“But Professor Jiang said these matters would not affect the school.”

“On the contrary, I’m paying more attention to that superhuman. I heard he defeated the other superhuman in a one-sided battle and killed his opponent. I wonder where that superhuman came from and which organization he belongs to?”

“Hehe.” A knowledgeable student said, “I’m better informed than you. I know he’s from Fortress 178 as my friend’s cousin told him so. During the war in which the Zong Consortium was destroyed, he single-handedly brought down an entire stronghold. It’s someone who’s on par with the Demon Whisperer and has been placed on the watchlists of all the major organizations.”

When the student said that, a flurry of wows and other exclamations rang out all around him. Ren Xiaosu was overjoyed.

“Is he really that powerful? But why did someone from the Northwest come to Luoyang City?” someone wondered. “I heard he’s still a young man, but I don’t know his actual age.”

The powerful superhuman they were talking about was actually close to their age? He was strong, mysterious, and young. Just these characteristics alone were already enough to attract the yearning of the female students at the school.

“But I don’t think he’s the most powerful person yet,” a male student said.

Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows and was about to interrupt. However, the male student continued, “I still think the person who saved Xu Zhi is better, not for any other reason but because he has a maid.”

This male student’s words showed that he was full of disdain at being single. Ren Xiaosu felt better when he heard that. In the end, he was still the one being praised.

When he found the classroom where the first class was held for the day, Ren Xiaosu realized Yang Xiaojin’s classmates were also discussing last night’s incident.

There was simply too little entertainment around these days. This was why the presence of someone like Li Ran was so popular with the people.

Any of the more interesting topics in life could be discussed for extended periods. If one was not up to date with the major incidents that happened in the stronghold while living here, they might as well just stay home.

Basically, the landline phone’s role in a stronghold was simply a channel for people to pass on news from the grapevine most of the time.

Ren Xiaosu thought that if he reunited with Yang Xiaojin, she could come back to school and say to her classmates, “Do you know so and so? He’s the guy I like.” He wondered if the students would be jealous of him or not.

As he was thinking about that, someone next to him said, “Hey, you, what are you snickering about at the door?”

The students in class were still unaware of Ren Xiaosu’s name, and Ren Xiaosu did not intend to tell them either. Therefore, they would just address Ren Xiaosu as “hey, you” when calling out to him.

Ren Xiaosu came back to his senses and found a seat and sat down. A male student beside him asked, “Have you told Zheng Hang about what happened yesterday? We couldn’t get through to him at all. By the way, why did Professor Jiang summon you to his office?”
