Chen Gu used "Quantum Teleportation" to go directly from Yuanbei Hall to the canteen, then packed up enough food to truly satisfy his appetite and took it back to his dormitory.

"Put it on my teacher's account," Chen Gu instructed the cook before leaving. "Make sure the bill is clear. My teacher won't let you off if you get it wrong!"

"Don't worry," the cook quickly replied. "Other stalls give Teacher Zhong a 20% discount, but if you come to me every day, I'll give Teacher Zhong a 30% discount."

"Sounds good," Chen Gu thought. His teacher's influence is indeed very useful.

「」

Andreyao and a few others were gathered in a pavilion beside a palace plaza. He looked displeased, and his "good brothers" knew why he was in a bad mood.

One of them said, "Bro Yao, we can't make a move inside the school, but we can get him outside."

"I just had someone check that kid out. He's with the Bureau of Mystic Security, has to report in regularly, and often leaves campus to return to the city. We'll have plenty of chances."

The others suddenly understood. "No wonder he got a spot in our Huai Shan Branch School! It's said that Aviloya has some... HEH HEH HEH... relationship with the Headmaster!"

Andreyao frowned. He vaguely felt it wouldn't be as sordid as they imagined, but he seriously considered his underling's suggestion.

After a moment, he finally spoke slowly, "I have my own arrangements for this matter. You don't need to interfere."

His subordinates nodded. They certainly understood their boss. If Andreyao said he had "arrangements," then there definitely were arrangements. Based on past experience, Andreyao's plans were often several times more ruthless than their suggestions.

After the group dispersed, Andreyao returned to his dormitory and made a phone call. "Second Uncle, this person... help me deal with him. Do it outside the school."

As he spoke, he sent over Chen Gu's basic information.

His Second Uncle asked indifferently, "The reason?"

"For Ye Feileng."

"To what extent?"

"Ruin his aptitude, destroy his future, but leave him alive. After all, he's a student at the school, and the Headmaster would probably be furious if we killed him."

"Understood."

A person's fate was decided in a casual conversation between the two. At least, that's what they believed. They had grown so accustomed to "manipulating" the fates of ordinary people like this that they no longer remembered how many times they had done it.

After hanging up, Second Uncle gestured casually. His subordinates, understanding implicitly, worked quickly, and soon various documents were delivered.

Second Uncle first reviewed Chen Gu's file, then smiled faintly. "He's a good prospect. What a pity."

His connections to the Bureau of Mystic Security might be troublesome, but the An Family could handle it. Besides, compared to the potential gains concerning Ye Feileng, these costs were entirely bearable.

Ye Feileng's file was also delivered. Second Uncle had seen the initial parts before; it recorded that Ye Feileng had become one of the representative figures of a certain small clique.

And this small clique was the "commoner faction" of the Huai Shan Branch School.

By winning over Ye Feileng, it might be possible to win over the entire commoner faction. Even if they couldn't make the commoner faction completely loyal, they could at least establish a good cooperative relationship.

Moreover, among all the students at the Huai Shan Branch School, Ye Feileng's aptitude ranked among the highest, with the potential to reach the Ninth Power Level in the future.

The An Family's long-standing weakness had been "insufficient combat strength." If they could win over this small clique, they could compensate for this weakness. Of course, this weakness was relative to other powerful and influential families.

That's why the An Family fully supported Andreyao in his pursuit of Ye Feileng.

The supplementary information detailed the conflict between Ye Feileng and Chen Gu concerning the incident outside the Wuning Temple generator. This matter was still under strict secrecy, and they had not uncovered the details, but evidence from various sources indicated that Ye Feileng harbored a particular disdain for Chen Gu.

The intelligence work of these powerful and prominent families is indeed impressive.

Second Uncle tapped the table with his finger. "Have Gui Wan lead a team there."

"Yes."

「」

Over the past few days, Chen Gu had become quite friendly with the Fifth Power Level chef in the canteen.

Instead of pocketing the extra discount, Chen Gu used the same amount of money to get more food, savoring the small joy of finally being able to "eat his fill"!

Life was quite pleasant. For the time being, his mentor Zhong Yuanbei's attention was still focused on his senior brother. Until Chen Gu could take over Bai Shengyuan's work, his senior brother couldn't expect to be relieved of his duties so easily.

However, Bai Shengyuan had recently noticed that his junior brother's learning progress was exceptionally slow, and Chen Gu always had a legitimate excuse!

Bai Shengyuan suspected Chen Gu was deliberately dragging his feet to keep him stuck there, but he had no proof.

Before he knew it, the weekend arrived. Chen Gu told his teacher he needed to go home.

Zhong Yuanbei nearly exploded. "Weekend? There's no such thing as a weekend in this world! Don't be delusional!"

"Well..." Chen Gu fidgeted with his fingers. "I'm afraid the Bureau of Mystic Security might not react well. I need to report in every weekend."

Zhong Yuanbei glared, casually flipped through his contacts, and quickly found Aviloya's number. "Hello, it's me, Zhong Yuanbei."

"Chen Gu belongs to me now."

Then poor Teacher Zhong was thoroughly rebuffed. Aviloya had clearly rejected him without mercy. His expression turned ugly as he gritted his teeth. "Aviloya, don't you forget you're a student of the Huai Shan Branch School!"

However, the next second, his face turned even uglier; he had undoubtedly been rejected again.

There's actually a woman in this world who can reject me, Zhong Yuanbei, twice! Zhong Yuanbei's pride was wounded, and his stubborn temper flared. "I don't care! Chen Gu is my student! From now until he graduates, he can only be at Yuanbei Hall or his dorm! He will not take a single step outside the Huai Shan Branch School!"

At that, Aviloya on the other end of the line exploded. Her voice shot up in decibels, and both Chen Gu and Bai Shengyuan could hear her clearly:

"Where's my sword?!"

"Listen well, Zhong Yuanbei! Let Chen Gu report to the Bureau of Mystic Security immediately, or I'll storm your shabby Yuanbei Hall in three minutes! Neither the Headmaster nor the Huai Shan Branch School's defense system will stop me!"

"Don't give me that nonsense! I'm not buying it! Try me if you dare!"

Zhong Yuanbei roared in fury, "Try me then! Just try me!"

Then, with a CLICK, he slammed down the phone, frustrated beyond measure. He waved Chen Gu away. "Go, go, go! If you want to go back, then go! I'm done caring, you little traitor! Although I am your mentor, I must also respect your personal wishes."

"Huh?" Chen Gu was baffled. What's going on? Sir, why are you backing down now?

When you shouted 'Try me then! Just try me!' at the Valkyrie just now, I actually felt a tiny bit of admiration for you.

Bai Shengyuan rarely saw their mentor suffer a setback like this. He felt incredibly refreshed but dared not show it, struggling hard to suppress his amusement.

Teacher, this democratic approach of respecting a student's personal wishes... could it possibly apply to me as well?
