Society, or humans in general; were vicious creatures. Xero felt that there were two groups in the world that he shouldn't mess with. The Shen and Han Family Army.
These were the two fan groups of the ancient cultivators just mentioned. Each fan club had a shit ton of fans, and most of them were even cultivators themselves! And even more annoying, was that the leaders and presidents of each of the groups were first class cultivator experts.
The Yunzhou nation had been trying everything in their power to destroy these groups, but politicians defend them, and so they eventually gave up. To the military, they were unprecedented factions that could do anything at any moment, even bring threats to the system.
But Xero couldn't care less.
This all could be summed up in one quote.
If you don't bother me, I won't bother you.
As long as it was something that didn't affect or disrupt his low-key life, it shouldn't be anything he should bother nor care about. Otherwise, if he even slightly moved a finger, he could obliterate tens of millions of people to oblivion…
…
It had already been two and a half hours since the bus had departed, but Han Jue showed no sign of stopping; It was like he had the whole news in his head, from talking about cultivation history to slowly transitioning into modern day affairs, you could never get bored talking to him.
Linghai nation's persistence on creating the "Grand Immortal Dao System" was just problematic, along with the protests from Yunzhou residents.
Xero preferred being idle, he didn't really involve himself in political matters or talk — but at least he knew something about the major issue.
Yunzhou nation imposed various restrictions and sanctions on Linghai nation, since they are basically the parent country in the matter. And in doing this, they removed numerous food chains from their shelves including pineapple and orange mixed flavor custard buns which Xero preferred mostly. And these snacks were produced in Linghai nation.
But custard bun snacks were petty in the face of such a national matter…
It was just one less flavor, Xero could completely accept that without complaint. Locally made custard bun snacks might be a little lacking in consistency, but nothing can top the classics~
The bus was moving swiftly, and the roads were slowly getting congested.
About an hour later, Ancient Relic who was at the front munching on a fa gao, suddenly spoke; "Alright, we'll be there in a few minutes. Everyone get ready!"
"Brother Xuan, what time is it?"
"It's five past ten in the morning. We'll visit and register at No. 89 High School first and then partake in the first exchange meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon to confirm the schedule in the coming days." Ancient Relic said.
…
After they got off, the driver directly slammed on the gas and drove away. With such speed, he would be able to get the last chips on the market shelf.
They had gotten off on the other side of the road across from No. 89 High School.
"We're finally here…"
Their slightly eager gazes swept over the school building and grounds.
As of right now, No. 89 High was still registering to become a key city high school, but the buildings and structure would make you think that they've already been accepted.
As far as the eye can see, there was green scenery everywhere. Trees were lush and developed, and lined the trail to the main building which itself had many trees and beautiful scenery.
Recalling their sorry excuse of a goddamn entrance, they felt sad.
"Fuuck… is this really No. 89 High School?" Han Jue sighed.
"Last time I passed here it looked nowhere like this, did they mine gold?!" Xinyan was surprised.
"They probably did. Like last year, I believe." Zhen Jie said, his hand on his chin. "They managed to produce eight Golden Core Masters, and that got the attention of the administration and the Qinghai Education Department, also receiving an award investment from a secret funder. And in the same year, they applied for the Education Ministry Spot in the Department, directly qualifying them for a key city high school premise."
Ancient Relic smirked slightly, shaking his head. Whatever he was going to utter, Zhen Jie has already figured and explained it. He was the previous leader in sports, and committee chairman in middle school, and had previously visited schools like these when he was younger, so it was only natural that he knew this.
"An award investment from a secret funder? Why was he anonymous?" Lianhua asked.
"He must have invested bitcoin, because if he or she used yuan, they would be caught by the government." Xinyan answered.
At this type of gossip, in the end; Han Jue had to step in. "Seriously, the person who funded the stuff was probably circumcised twice."
All: "…" For this type of thing, circumcision is no joke! That shit hurts too much!
"If I'm being honest, maybe I could get one. Heard the hospital nearby does it free of charge." Han Jue said, cupping his chin.
"You mean the same hospital that literally cut off someone's dick once!?"
"Wait wha—"
"…" Xero felt that such a situation had to be exaggeration!
Lianhua, Misaki and Xinyan's faces were red as they heard the matter. It was natural that such a topic could… stimulate that.
"If Student Jue can share the address, maybe I'll tell him my top five models." Ancient Relic said with a chuckle.
Xero: "…" God, this had to be gay!
On the flip side, Xero again refrained from saying anything.
He knew how Ancient Relic used his hands. Apart from pleasing himself, he could easily do it himself, with a knife too!
…
Ancient Relic, hands clasped behind his back — led them to the school gate. But a guard spotted them, and held out a hand.
"Stop. Whom are you looking for?"
Ancient Relic brought out the paper detailing the event. Immediately the guard recognized what they were here for.
"Oh. You're here for the event, right? And you're… No. 90 High School? Our school leader told us about you guys." The guard said as he bowed deeply. "Okay, the registration center is on the second floor on room 1331, the teacher's building in simplest terms."
"Alright, thank you." Ancient Relic put back the paper in his pocket.
And so, the group of people walked straight past the gate and into the school grounds.
Honestly, No. 90 High and No. 89 High had some type of rivalry that started five years ago. So this behavior was actually kind of unexpected.
Their arrival was slightly late though.
Ancient Relic had figured that No. 89 High hadn't made any announcements about it whatsoever.
Otherwise, the trail of the trees would be filled with people given Misaki's influence.
…
There was actually a spiritual perception device installed on the school grounds to block out any probing magical senses. But these type of gadgets were completely useless against Xero. They hadn't even left the gate very far before Xero's boundless magical perception had directly penetrated the whole school. The school guard who were observing their walking forms slowly getting further into the distance, solemnly made a call, "Yes, Director Yue. No. 90 High School is here. Three male students and three female students and a… budgie? The teacher leading them is a fatass. He looks gullible, he isn't a threat to us."
"Mhm. I've already received info that he's the history teacher. Likely doesn't have that much relative strength." A cold voice sounded on the line.
After saying that, Director Yue hung up and laid the phone on the table. She then fixed her gaze on a student union member that was standing before her desk, hands clasped behind his back. "Unique Zunhao. They have arrived. Make sure to treat them well."
