298 The New Dharmic Armament Teacher (2/2)

If it had been anyone else, he might have been able to make use of his family connections, but Wang Baole, despite his commoner's family origins, was backed by people as impressive as his own family. Having been in the same college as Wang Baole, he was deeply aware of the fact. He even still firmly believed that Wang Baole had a mysterious godfather supporting him, as nothing else could explain how he had managed to escape unscathed so many times.

He thought about how he was going to be his subordinate for the next few years. Powerless to change his fate, Lin Tianhao shifted forward and inched half his bum off the couch. He gritted his teeth and bit the bullet. For the first time in his life, he took out a storage bracelet and placed it carefully to one side.

”Dean Wang… this is just a small token. Please accept it.”

The smile on Wang Baole's face grew wider as he witnessed the change in Lin Tianhao's attitude. He reminisced about their college lives for a while before ending the conversation. Before he picked the teacup up and sent him away, Wang Baole got Lin Tianhao to take his storage bracelet with him. His eyes were earnest as he spoke seriously to Lin Tianhao.

”Tianhao, you and I are both college mates, there's no need for this. What happened between us happened when we were still young and hotheaded. Every thing has been resolved during City Lord Li's fruit feast. Don't be burdened by this. I hope that you and I can bring Dao Mountain Mist Academy to the next level and that both of us won't fail in the duties that have been placed on us!”

Wang Baole's words sounded sincere, and they moved Lin Tianhao. He looked at Wang Baole for a long time before he kept the storage bracelet. Then, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply.

”I'll do my very best!” Lin Tianhao left after he spoke to Wang Baole. This was his first day at school, and he still had many things to attend to. Wang Baole watched Lin Tianhao's back retreat from the room and disappear behind the door. That was when he placed his teacup down, pulled out a bottle of Ice Spirit Water, and took a big gulp. He was very pleased.

There's no need to rush to secure Lin Tianhao's loyalty. I'll take things one step at a time…At that thought, Wang Baole concluded that, despite the giant tree's presence, life on Mars wasn't without its pleasures and excitement. He had increased his net worth and become Lin Tianhao's superior. Both made him incredibly happy.

He hummed a small tune and was about to open a bag of chips when his voice transmission ring suddenly vibrated. He lowered his head and took a look. What he saw surprised him.

Li Yi?Wang Baole had a disbelieving look on his face. He activated his voice transmission ring, and Li Yi's voice immediately rang in his ear. She sounded calm and slightly tired.

”Wang Baole, I know you're on Mars. I've also been deployed to Mars…

”I hadn't thought much of it before I graduated, but after I graduated and joined the Federation, I became so tired… I thought back to our past and all the unhappiness I felt towards you. They're all just fleeting emotions. Why should we be fixated on these things?

”We still have a long road ahead of us. I want to resolve the conflicts between us. Do you have time? I'd like to treat you to a meal.”

Wang Baole was slightly confused. This voice transmission from Li Yi was too sudden and unexpected. He not only found it incredulous, but he also began to find it suspicious too. He was of the firm belief that Li Yi was a petty, vengeful person who loved her grudges. Why would she suddenly say something like that?

”Have you been kidnapped? Did my enemies do that? That's not right. My enemies wouldn't kidnap you. You're not Li Yi. Tell me, who the hell are you!”

At that exact moment, inside Zone Eighteen of the Martian Colony City, within the office building of the Martian City's Deputy Governor, Li Yi sat inside an office. She gnashed her teeth as she listened to Wang Baole's voice in the voice transmission ring. After inhaling a few deep breaths, she spoke softly again, trying to make herself sound tired and spent.

”Wang Baole, you've misunderstood my intentions. I…”

Wang Baole ended the transmission abruptly even before she could finish speaking. She stared at the voice transmission ring in her hand before smacking her desk violently.

That jerk! How dare he hang up on me!Li Yi was furious. Her chest heaved with anger, and she gnashed her teeth, determination flashing in her eyes.

I was hesitating a while ago. Now I've made up my mind. It's going to be him! I'm going to use him as the target for mastering my mystic art!Li Yi inhaled deeply. The reason she had sought Wang Baole out for reconciliation was that she had obtained a mysterious mystic art. The prerequisite for mastering it was extremely strange. It required her to fall in love with the person she hated the most and then break off their romantic relationship. That was the only way to master it.

It was called the Heartless Willow Art!

The mystic art wasn't something found in the White Deer Dao College's records but something the Deputy Governor had given her after she had arrived on Mars and had been appointed his secretary.

She even secretly contacted the college and informed them about the mystic art. The upper echelons of the White Deer Dao College were taken aback and told her to go ahead and master it!

That was why she could set aside her worries and concentrate on practicing the mystic art. She thought long and hard. There were few people she couldn't stand, but amongst them was one man she despised the most—Wang Baole.
