60 Return to the Dao College Immediately! (1/2)
Everyone's attention was on him, which filled Wang Baole with pleasure. With Liu Daobin's father recognizing him, it would be much easier for him to rise up the ranks in the future. He was extremely gleeful as he looked at his classmates, and just when he was contemplating what to say, Huang Gui let out a light-hearted laugh.
”Wow, Baole, I have belittled you. You have the capability of arranging for someone to enter the College Discipline Department, which is not an easy feat. However, having gone through similar experiences, I understand how it works as well. You know, since I am the Head Prefect, I am in charge of the Discipline Department in my college as well. There are always people asking me to transfer someone there, and it is difficult for me to reject them as well,” Huang Gui said calmly, letting out a long sigh after that, as if the words weighed heavily on him.
”But Baole, you shouldn't ask for favors from your Head Prefect in the future. I heard that every college is reforming the Head Prefect system into one that's based on votes. I am still considering how to communicate with the other two Head Prefects. If you make too many requests, it will sour the relationship between you and the Head Prefect you're close to.”
Huang Gui spoke as if he had been in the same situation before. As he finished, the tense feelings of everyone seated around the table, which had built up due to the arrival of the City Lord, seemed to considerably lessen.
Very quickly, everyone was in high spirits again. Everyone seemed to treat Wang Baole in a different way, although not overtly. To them, Huang Gui's words had already provided a clear explanation.
Wang Baole cleared his throat. He had the urge to reveal that he was a Head Prefect and did not need the help of others. Furthermore, he was not concerned about communicating with the other Head Prefects, simply because there were no other Head Prefects in his faculty since he was responsible for their demise.
It was just that Wang Baole felt that it would lower his status if he said that himself. He was thinking of how he could get the message across in an acceptable manner before someone exclaimed from afar.
The noise emanated within the gathering hall of the hotel, catching the attention of Wang Baole and his classmates. As they turned their attention toward it, they immediately noticed that there were a number of burly men emerging rapidly from the depths of the VIP lounge. After the burly men secured the major areas of the hotel, a muscular man with an imposing presence emerged from the lounge with dozens of lackeys.
The muscular man was wearing a purple cape. Liu Daobin's father also appeared respectful to him as he carefully positioned himself slightly behind the man. Even the owner of the hotel followed him cautiously toward where Wang Baole and his classmates were seated.
Before he even arrived at the table, his laughter could be heard.
Chen Bing was suddenly put on high alert, his mind on overdrive as he stood up instantly, almost falling due to instability. He spoke loud and clearly, his tone carrying a never before heard level of respect.
”Greetings, City Lord!”
Hearing Chen Bing, everyone seated was astonished as they scrambled to stand up.
There were differences between a City Lord and a Deputy City Lord. To become the City Lord in the Spirit Inception Era, he had to be exceptional even in a small city. A person like him had to be extremely learned, have an illustrious background, and possess extraordinary skills in order to live up to the title of a City Lord in the Spirit Inception Era that followed after the beast war.
The arrival of the Deputy City Lord merely brought surprise to everyone; however, the appearance of the City Lord resulted in emotional chaos, as everyone was astonished and even a little fearful, out of respect.
”All of you are the future of the Federation. I have interrupted your gathering, so there is no need for all of you to rise. Please sit down, everyone.” The City Lord of Phoenix City smiled as he approached, and a tide of authority spread as he waved his hand, causing everyone who stood up to take their seats immediately.
”Wang Baole.” After everyone was seated, the City Lord of Phoenix City looked at Wang Baole amiably. Though he was not loud, his words could still keep one on alert.
This imposing manner was similar to what Wang Baole felt from the cultivator who slew the ferocious monster during his journey back home. He instantly felt it again upon meeting the City Lord.
”Greetings City Lord, I'm Wang Baole from Ethereal City Dao College!” Wang Baole rose and, in a manner that was neither obsequious nor arrogant, greeted the City Lord with cupped fists.
”What an outstanding youth!” The City Lord of Phoenix City laughed heartily, his admiration obvious.
”I just heard from Old Liu that Wang Baole was here. Wang Baole, I visited your residence previously, but you weren't around. You are the pride of Phoenix City!” the City Lord stated as he glanced at the rest of the people nearby.
”Everyone should get acquainted with this outstanding chap here. He is Wang Baole, a student who has emerged out of many to gain admission to the four major Dao Colleges. That shows his talent, and the fact that he could enter the Dharmic Armament faculty makes him even more exceptional. Furthermore, out of all the exceptional students, he could emerge top as the Head Prefect. That makes him the cream of the crop!
”What's more, Wang Baole even managed to become the first ever Head Prefect of the Three Halls of the Dharmic Armament faculty of Ethereal Dao College, a never before seen achievement!”
