Chapter 271: The Difference Between People, Long Time No See, Principal Yan Shan's Other Identity

On the street.

Cheng Han held a black umbrella, walking neither fast nor slow.

"Ding! Da!"

Raindrops and snowflakes fell from the sky, continuously hitting the surface of the black umbrella.

Zhan Bajing recalled various experiences in his mind, feeling an extremely unreal sensation in his heart.

The first time he saw his junior was at the entrance of the 15th Middle School.

At that time, his junior displayed a move that overturned a feathered beast, forcing the school's influential figure to transfer out.

Later on.

On his first day in Lan Tower, his junior became the class leader of the Seal Class, and the next day, he beat several experts of the Seal Class one by one, instantly suppressing everyone.

And then.

To cope with the winter curfew, the Inspection Bureau recruited a group of students as "temporary workers".

From that moment on, his junior's legendary story began.

Running alone with the Ice Charm for twelve streets, he obtained the treatment of a senior inspector as an intern, and then killed the Tree Phantom in one strike, directly promoting to the position of Chief Inspector.

Having achieved great success, he became a dazzling new star in the Inspection Bureau, and then successfully condensed the Body Tempering Seal, soaring to new heights.

A few days ago.

He heard that his junior, while serving as the Chief Executive of Anhua City, condensed the Soul Tempering Seal during the New Year celebration and sat alone in the dormitory for a long time.

His junior was clearly two years younger than him. When he was famous for his Seal Class in the 15th Middle School, his junior was just a transparent person in the school.

How long had it been? His junior had become a respected Xuan Shi.

Zhan Bajing secretly looked at his junior's back and sighed deeply in his heart: "The difference between people!"

Up ahead.

Cheng Han slightly raised the black umbrella and glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, various thoughts swirling in his mind.

"The extremely powerful force transmitted by the Divine Banyan Tree pierced through the boundary walls of the Void Wind Realm and the Profound Abyss Realm, forcibly creating a cross-border passage.

"The Profound Abyss Realm is dominated by the water system laws. Now that the boundary walls have been breached, the power of the laws has permeated through, resulting in continuous rainy weather.

"The war between the two realms is not over, so the cross-border passage will inevitably continue to exist. A super war of such magnitude is normal even if it lasts for three to fifty years.

"For a long time in the future, the rain in this world will probably increase significantly, and the lives of ordinary people will inevitably be greatly affected."

Cheng Han couldn't help but sigh: "Fighting every day and raining every day, I'm afraid only the Transcendence World would have such strange occurrences."

He slightly turned his head and glanced at Zhan Bajing, who was following behind him. Zhan Bajing had a submissive expression, lacking the courage to walk side by side with his junior, instead lagging behind by more than one position, looking like a follower.

When he served in Anhua City, he had long been accustomed to such scenes and could only sigh inwardly.

Cheng Han thought for a moment and said, "Bajing, let me give you a suggestion. Stock up on some wheat flour or other grains at home."

Excessive rainfall naturally leads to reduced yields or even crop failure for crops like wheat, causing prices to skyrocket.

Zhan Bajing looked confused and said, "Huh?"

He quickly reacted and hurriedly replied, "I... I understand! Master Xuan!"

Regardless, this was something said by a Xuan Master himself. Although Zhan Bajing didn't understand, he still intended to follow through.

Cheng Han corrected, "Just call me Cheng Han."

Zhan Bajing hesitated a bit and said, "Uh, this... doesn't seem appropriate."

Xuan Masters are powerful figures, and ordinary people don't have the qualifications to directly address them by name. It's a violation of the law and could result in being reported and having to sweep the streets for half a month.

Cheng Han shook his head slightly and didn't force it anymore, saying, "As you wish!"

By the way,

Wan Hao is very skilled in utilizing plants. Even if it rains heavily for several years in a row, there's no need to worry about famine. At most, they would just switch to a different staple food.

Let's give an example.

In middle school agricultural classes, there was an introduction to a water plant called "Xiliang." In its mature form, it is a two-meter-tall water grass that can produce nearly five catties of "lingjiao fruit" per plant per year.

The starch content of lingjiao fruit is quite high, not much worse than potatoes. Although the taste is slightly inferior, it can definitely fill one's stomach.

*

During this casual conversation, Zhan Bajing's restraint noticeably eased, at least his speech was no longer stumbling, which was a relief to listen to.

Before long,

The two arrived at the 15th Middle School.

As the new school year was still half a month away, the school gate was tightly closed.

Zhan Bajing said attentively, "I'll go call for the gate."

He quickly walked up and forcefully tapped on the window of the gatekeeper's room, shouting, "Old Qin, open the gate! It's Zhan Bajing!"

"Click!"

The window was opened.

The gatekeeper, Old Qin, glanced over and was momentarily stunned, then warmly greeted, "Inspector Zhan, why are you here at the school today?"

Zhan Bajing vaguely replied, "Just a small matter."

He immediately remembered the admonition from his junior about "politeness as basic etiquette" and quickly added, "Please open the gate."

Old Qin responded with a "Alright," and walked to the gate to open it.

As the old man worked, he chattered on, "Inspector Zhan just graduated and already entered the Inspectorate to become an inspector. Truly young and promising."

Zhan Bajing listened to the other party's flattering words, his expression somewhat subtle.

Young and promising?

Compared to his junior, he was nothing at all, not to mention that the Inspectorate's willingness to hire him was largely due to his junior's face.

"Creak!"

The gate opened.

Cheng Han stepped into the campus, looking at the somewhat unfamiliar scenery with a strange expression.

According to his previous memories, No. 15 Middle School had hardly changed in the past ten years, so why did they suddenly start massive demolition and construction?

Zhan Bajing approached and explained, "After you became a Black Armor Army Captain and later the Grand Governor of Anhua City, the Council of Political Affairs allocated funds to our school several times."

Cheng Han suddenly understood, "I see."

Most Xuan Masters usually reached their promotion in their thirties or forties, and it was not uncommon to see some in their fifties or sixties. It had been many years since he graduated.

He became a Xuan Master before graduating from middle school, and anyone with discerning eyes could see that his future was bound to be bright. That's why the Council of Political Affairs was so generous.

All of this once again made him feel what it meant to "one person's success benefits the whole family."

Cheng Han turned a corner and looked at the teacher's building in the misty rain, walking towards it.

Zhan Bajing followed closely and asked tentatively, "Are you going to see the principal?"

According to the school regulations, even during winter vacation, the three principals and vice principals still had to take turns on duty to prevent any strange incidents.

Cheng Han nodded lightly, "I heard that Principal Yanshan is on duty today, so I came to take a look."

He glanced at Zhan Bajing and instructed, "You stay here, don't come over."

Zhan Bajing was a little confused but dared not refuse, "Alright!"

*

Soon.

Cheng Han, holding a wet umbrella, climbed to the top floor of the classroom building and lightly knocked on the principal's office door.

"Knock! Knock!"

In the next moment.

A female voice sounded, "Who is it?"

It was the principal's female assistant.

Also one of the principal's women.

Cheng Han didn't say anything.

After a few seconds.

Footsteps approached.

The door was opened a crack.

The meticulous face of the female assistant came into Cheng Han's view.

But there was a slight blush on her face under the black-framed glasses, and there were some wrinkles on her skirt, indicating that she was not truly "meticulous."

A warm breeze quickly rushed out of the door, accompanied by a strange scent.

To put it more bluntly.

The seemingly serious Principal Yanshan, while on duty and bored, had played a little game of compromise with his female assistant.

At this moment.

The female assistant was first stunned, then exclaimed in surprise, "Cheng Han... Oh, Lord Cheng Han!"

Yanshan's slightly stiff voice followed, also filled with astonishment, "Cheng... Lord Cheng Han, why are you here?"

It has to be said.

Every acquaintance of Cheng Han's, without exception, always had a moment of hesitation due to the issue of how to address him.

The female assistant quickly opened the door and respectfully said, "Please come in!"

As the door opened completely, Yanshan's burly figure was fully revealed.

Cheng Han shook his head, "Forget it, I won't come in."

The female assistant was a little confused.

Cheng Han looked at Yanshan and smiled, "Long time no see, Principal Yanshan!"

He paused, and his tone subtly changed, "Or should I say, Dream Lord!"

Yanshan's pupils suddenly contracted at the mention of "Dream Lord."

Just a few days ago.

"Cai Feng, the traitor" was forcibly dragged into the dream by the Dream Lord and learned about the "mole in the upper echelons of the Dream Society." He was also informed that he would be promoted to a Great Dream Master.

Two days later.

Cai Feng obtained a "Dream Source Seed" from the dream.

Cheng Han, using the Black Cat to capture a trace of aura, was extremely surprised to find that this trace of aura had countless connections to Yanshan.

So.

The answer was obvious.

This principal, who had a good reputation in Qinglin City's education circle, actually had another unknown identity - the Dream Lord of the Dream Society.

Honestly.

Even Cheng Han hadn't expected this result.

It was enough to show how well Yanshan had hidden himself.

Unfortunately, this guy shouldn't have personally contacted the traitor. With just one small action, Yanshan was completely exposed.

Although Yanshan tried to conceal it, the deduction ability of the Level 8 All-Knowing Eye had reached a new level, effortlessly exposing him.

Cheng Han had resigned as the Grand Governor and returned to his hometown from Anhua City, so he decided to visit No. 15 Middle School along the way.

Since Yanshan was an old acquaintance, he naturally had to visit him in person.

This was basic etiquette.

By the way.

This was also a farewell to the past.
