35 Vegetation Head Prefect Zheng Liang (2/2)
”Zhou Xiaoya? Junior Brother Baole, I remember that back when you first joined the Dao College, you had once confessed on the Spirit Intranet.” Zheng Liang swept his gaze at Zhou Xiaoya as he gave Wang Baole a teasing look. At the same time, he remembered Zhou Xiaoya's name and was prepared to inform his subordinates to take good care of her.
Although Zheng Liang had brought up past matters, Wang Baole laughed out loud due to his thick skin. However, Zhou Xiaoya was thin-skinned. Her face blushed immediately. She lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed, but she suddenly recalled something and looked up again. She stretched out her tiny hand and said happily, ”Baole, I can already refine pills now. Look, this is a Rainbow Pill I just refined. Does it look pretty?”
Zhou Xiaoya was very excited, as though she wanted to share her joy with Wang Baole. In the middle of her palm was a colorful pill that appeared as beautiful as her.
”Xiaoya, I find your hands prettier,” said Wang Baole with a blinking smile.
Bunny immediately blushed again as she glared at Wang Baole, but deep down, she felt very happy.
”By the way, where's Du Min?” Wang Baole recalled Du Min when he saw Bunny. He could not help but look around, but there were just too many people. He could not instantly pinpoint her.
”Sister Du Min isn't here. She's really impressive. She has been taken in as a disciple of the Alchemy faculty's dean.” Bunny had an envious look, but she also had a pleased look. It was as though the more excellent Du Min was, the happier she would be.
”That impressive?” Wang Baole was taken aback.
”Junior Brother Baole, you also know Du Min?” Zheng Liang was astonished when he heard Du Min's name. He began to explain when he noticed Wang Baole looking at him.
”This Du Min is quite a remarkable person. Her talent in alchemy is astonishing. She has been taken in as a disciple of our faculty dean. Although she's not Head Prefect, her status and standing are extraordinary as well.”
Wang Baole touched his nose. He had the feeling of taking a blow before he could even flaunt his identity as Head Prefect in front of her. However, Wang Baole could understand when he recalled the experiences Du Min had undergone since she was young.
”She's an A-grade student. She has been one since she was young!” While Wang Baole felt a little sour deep down, he also felt that he needed to work harder. If not, it would be embarrassing if he were overtaken by Washboard Min.
He had a casual chat with Bunny, but she had no choice but to bid Wang Baole farewell reluctantly as she had yet to complete the refinement of another cauldron of pills. She then returned to continue the refinement.
As for Wang Baole, he watched for a moment before suggesting his departure. With Zheng Liang sending him off, he walked to the entrance of Alchemy Peak.
Having sent Wang Baole here, Zheng Liang looked at him and suddenly whispered, ”Junior Brother Baole, we hit it off very nicely, and it might seem that I am saying too much as someone you've just met, but I do have to warn you that the complexities of your Dharmic Armament faculty run deep.”
Wang Baole's expression changed as he listened carefully. When Zheng Liang saw Wang Baole's expression, he continued in a low voice. ”Previously, the three Head Prefects of your Dharmic Armament faculty were unlike the Head Prefects of the other faculties. They were very united.
”It also has to do with them having close ties with the Vice-Chancellor. Therefore, it results in your Dharmic Armament faculty's dean having nearly no authority in matters regarding college discipline!
”And the main reason your Dharmic Armament faculty's Head Prefects are united has to do with the Spirit Kernel Head Prefect, Lin Tianhao. He has a huge background. Unfortunately, I have not been able to discover his true identity.”
Zheng Liang shared whatever he knew with Wang Baole and warned him before patting him on the shoulder. He bade farewell and left after telling him that the pills he had previously bought would be sent to the Dharmic Armament faculty.
Wang Baole blinked when he saw Zheng Liang walk far away. He could tell the good intentions from the warning that Zheng Liang had given to him. After some thought, he kept it close to his heart.
Isn't it because he has a powerful father. He is a Head Prefect, but so am I. What's there to be afraid of?
Didn't Zhuo Yifan also have a background? Didn't he get beaten by me as he rightfully deserved!
With this conclusion, Wang Baole immediately relaxed. As he hummed a tune with his hands behind his back, he returned to Dharmic Armament Peak. The moment he entered the cave abode, he saw Liu Daobin reverently standing there with a bag. He appeared to have been waiting for quite some time. When he noticed Wang Baole, he took a deep breath, adjusted his clothing, and walked quickly to Wang Baole to bow with cupped fists.
”Greetings, Head Prefect!”
”Ah, Daobin, you came. You must have waited quite some time. Why didn't you tell me you would be coming?” Wang Baole smiled faintly. He felt that ever since Liu Daobin became an inspector, it felt like he had turned into a completely different person. He was particularly fastidious about the rules, and the way he did things was very comforting.
”It's nothing. I just came as well,” said Liu Daobin with a smile. He entered the cave abode upon Wang Baole's invitation. However, he was always one step behind Wang Baole. This scene made Wang Baole feel like he had learned a new trick.
After entering the cave abode, Liu Daobin deftly cleaned the place, moving the many empty Ice Spirit Water bottles and snack bags into a corner. Following that, he took out some spirit tea in a very practiced manner before offering it to Wang Baole.
This scene prompted Wang Baole to lift his teacup to take a sip, as well as ask out of curiosity, ”Daobin, what does your family do?”
”About that… My dad is the Deputy City Lord of our hometown, Phoenix City. To be honest, I have been frequently seeking my dad's help on how to do certain things,” said Liu Daobin with a little embarrassment and awkwardness.
”Deputy City Lord?” Wang Baole's eyes widened. He had a marvelous feeling rise up in him. Before he came to the Dao College, Phoenix City's Deputy City Lord had definitely been a major figure in Wang Baole's eyes. Now, such a major figure's son was under him. This made the marvelous feelings inside him become more intense.
”Ahem. Daobin, it's almost the holidays. Speaking of which, this is the first time I've been away from home for such a long period of time. I kind of miss Phoenix City.” Wang Baole coughed dryly, feeling inexplicably pleased as he put down his teacup.
