Chapter 33
There were still two days left in Yu Huang’s break. She planned to go with Yu Donghai to look for a house to rent tomorrow.
Yu Donghai didn’t need to do business tomorrow, so he didn’t need to stay up all night to prepare the alms bowl and chicken materials. After taking a shower, he went to bed.
Because Yu Donghai told the secret that he had kept hidden in his heart for 18 years, that night, Yu Donghai slept soundly.
The next morning, after cooking a bowl of noodles, the father-daughter pair drove the tricycle to find a house near Yong Hui High School.
Renting a house was easy, but commercial rental places were hard to find. After walking around the school for two days, Yu Huang finally found a place that she was satisfied with.
The entrance was at the back gate of Yong Hui High School, next to the teachers’ living area, and also near the third-year academic building. Although the number of people here was not as high as at the front gate, good wine needs no bush. The alms bowl cooked by Yu Donghai was delicious, and students who wanted to eat would naturally take the initiative to find them.
After paying a year’s rent, Yu Huang found an indoor design studio and explained her requirements to the designer. She readily gave the deposit and didn’t need to care about the rest.
When Yu Donghai found out that Yu Huang had specially looked for a renovation company, he instantly felt speechless. He said, “I’m just someone who sells alms bowls and chickens. I only need two pots and a big refrigerator. What’s the use of renovating it so nicely? Isn’t it a waste of money?”
Yu Huang clicked her tongue and sat down to reason with him. “Father, being short-sighted won’t earn you any money. You have to look further ahead. Do you think that Imperial Cuisine Restaurant’s dishes
are really that delicious? It’s all because His Majesty once came to the restaurant to eat. With prestige, even the most unpalatable dishes will become delicious.”
“So what if we sell alms bowls and chickens? Can’t those who sell alms bowls and chickens be renovated to be high-end and classy? Young people these days just care about the atmosphere. If the environment of our shop is good, then young couples and young ladies will come to our shop to take photos and eat!”
When Yu Donghai heard Yu Huang’s words, he immediately felt that it made sense. He looked at Yu Huang’s small head and advised her earnestly, “Don’t think too much about earning money. Study more and strive to become the top scholar.”
In Yu Donghai’s eyes, no matter what his daughter did, she would always be number one. It was just a matter of time before she became the top scholar.
“Okay, I’ll become the top scorer!”
After returning home, Yu Huang took out Divine Realm Academy’s school badge of the from under her pillow. She threw it up and quickly grabbed it.
Yu Huang opened her palm and stared at the front of the school badge. Without another word, she quickly stood up and put on her mask. She picked up the school badge and quietly headed in the direction of the Purifying Spirit Academy.
…
Outside the Purifying Spirit Academy, the towering black walls that reached into the clouds blocked out the disturbances of the mortal world. Within the walls, the Purifying Spirit Academy, which had been bustling for three days, finally welcomed peace.
The bright moonlight shone on the spacious square, making Sheng Xiao’s slender figure appear even longer.
Sheng Xiao walked to the entrance of the hall of the Purifying Spirit Academy. Immediately, a waiter in blue came out of the hall and greeted him. “Good evening, Master Sheng. What brings you here so late at night?”
Sheng Xiao took off his coat and handed it to the attendant. “Is Mr. Lin resting?”
“Master, the dean hasn’t rested yet.”
“I’m going back to school tomorrow morning. I’m here to bid farewell to Mr. Lin. Please bring me to Mr. Lin.”
“Master, this way please.”
The attendant led Sheng Xiao into the hall. They passed through a few quiet corridors and stopped in front of a tall hall.
There was a crystal ball floating in the middle of the hall. Lin Jiansheng was standing under the ball with his back facing Sheng Xiao. He was still wearing the red robe and holding a scepter in his left hand. His back view alone gave off an imposing aura.
The attendant deliberately made some noise to attract Lin Jiansheng’s attention. He then bent down and reported, “Dean, Master Sheng requests to see you.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng raised his right hand and gestured for the attendant to leave. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
After the attendant left, Lin Jiansheng turned around and asked Sheng Xiao, “Are you preparing to return to school?”
“I’ll leave tomorrow morning. I’m here tonight to resign.” Sheng Xiao walked behind Mr. Lin and looked up at the crystal ball.
Staring at the quiet crystal ball, Sheng Xiao suddenly thought of the strange phenomenon caused by Yu Huang’s test three days ago.
At that moment, Sheng Xiao heard Mr. Lin say in a low voice, “18 years ago, there were 110,000 students of suitable age in Sheng City. That year, 68 people successfully awakened their beast state.”
“17 years ago, there were 140,000 students of suitable age and 60 successful beastly metahumans. 16 years ago, there were 150,000 students of suitable age, but there were only 51 successful beastly metahumans…”
“…Until last year, there were 120,000 people participating in the test in the Prosperous Capital and only 20 people successfully awakened their beast state. But this year, there are less than 20 people.”
Lin Jiansheng had already memorized these data by heart. He did not need to deliberately recall them to be able to report them accurately.
Sheng Xiao’s expression turned serious when he heard the data.
“Young Master Sheng, over the past 18 years, the rate of beast tamers awakening has been getting lower and lower. This has happened not only in the Prosperous Capital, but also in the entire Divine Moon Empire and the entire Holy Spirit Continent!”
Mr. Lin’s mood was even more distress than his expression. He lamented worriedly, “I’m afraid that in less than twenty years, no one in this huge Prosperous Capital will be able to awaken their beast form!”
This was undoubtedly a disaster for the entire Holy Spirit Continent.
