The future is bound to be cruel and bloody. It’s not a bad thing for children to experience it a little early. In the most beautiful years of life, one should live freely and self-assuredly, without bearing the weight of grand responsibilities.
With us old folks around, no matter what, we can hold on a little longer—hold on until the children… truly grow up.
Si Junni felt the atmosphere suddenly turn strange. Puzzled, she glanced around, feeling that her understanding of this world was still far too shallow.
Old Zheng, having just received a massive sum of 1.5 million, immediately held out his tattered phone with a cheerful smile, presenting it to Si Junni.
“Child, this old man has money now too! It’s all for you, all for you! Quick, call me ‘teacher’ once!”
Everyone present suddenly perked up, exchanging meaningful glances. Old Zheng had said “teacher,” not “principal”!
Old Zheng was going to take on a disciple!
Si Junni was suddenly moved, her eyes turning slightly red.
“Te… teacher!”
“Yes! Good disciple, from now on, this teacher will guide you! Let’s add each other as friends first, and I’ll transfer the money to you.” Old Zheng patted Si Junni’s shoulder, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Si Junni felt a bit embarrassed. “Teacher, maybe…”
“No! What’s promised to you is yours! You must accept this money. Even if Divine Dragon University is poor, even if I, Zheng Dapao, have to scavenge for scraps, I will never let a genius suffer!”
Old Zheng’s slightly hunched figure suddenly straightened as he looked at Si Junni with unwavering determination.
“Accept it. We’re here too. We won’t let Old Zheng struggle because of money.”
Seeing Si Junni’s hesitation, Wu Laohu sighed. Who said this child was greedy for money? Her sincerity was evident—seeing Old Zheng in such difficulty, she didn’t even want the money.
Si Junni shook her head slightly and explained lightly, “What I meant was… could you put the money into a card for me? Transferring it to my WeChat and withdrawing it incurs fees, and that’s… kind of heartbreaking.”
Everyone around: ………
My fault for overthinking!
Old Zheng cleared his throat. All that acting for nothing! He had truly met his match. He knew this girl wouldn’t be easily moved—her heart was colder than a butcher’s knife. He’d have to use stronger tactics with her in the future!
“Ahem, well… Little Long Long, how do I put the money into a card? Here, I’ll transfer this 1.5 million to you, and you go deposit it into my student’s card!”
As Old Zheng spoke, he completed the transfer, the money sent the moment he finished speaking.
Old Zheng mainly thought that withdrawing such a large sum into a card would cost quite a bit in fees. With a ready errand-runner at hand, why not make use of him?
Long Xiao was exceptionally generous and didn’t mind the trouble.
He directly pulled a card from his pocket and handed it to Si Junni. “There’s 2 million in here. 1.5 million is from Old Zheng, and the other 500,000… consider it a welcome gift for joining our Dingbei Pass Training Camp.
The training starts in ten days. You need to be there on time.”
Si Junni, true to her nature of getting things done when paid, was particularly reasonable.
“Received, Captain. Don’t worry, I’ll perform well during the training!”
“Prepare yourself mentally in advance. It will be exhausting, mainly focused on physical improvement. Even though you have a Healing Ability, basic physical fitness must also be developed.
If your physical strength is lower than your special ability level, it will be difficult to unleash the true potential of your abilities at that level.”Si Junni nodded earnestly; this was advice from a senior, so of course she would listen!
“I understand! I absolutely won’t fear hardship or fatigue, and I won’t disgrace my teacher or our Divine Dragon University!”
No matter what, Old Zheng had spent a huge sum of 1.5 million, and the little old man’s face was practically scrunched up in pain. Si Junni naturally had to say some sweet words to soothe him.
“Hahaha, good, good child! In the future, if your teacher has money, I’ll still spend it on you!”
Wu Laohu watched as Old Zheng went from wincing in pain one second to bursting into hearty laughter the next.
He was utterly stunned in his heart! Was this the so-called charm of words?!
Si Junni had never been this wealthy in both her lifetimes combined, and her mood was absolutely soaring.
“Teacher, you’re so kind! Ever since my mother sacrificed herself, everyone has been bullying me! Finally, I have someone to back me up!”
Si Junni gazed at Old Zheng excitedly, as if she had found a long-lost relative.
Old Zheng knew this little girl was probably up to some mischief again. Being bullied? You bullying others would be more like it.
But no matter what, they had just “acknowledged each other as family,” so he absolutely had to be even more enthusiastic in his attitude.
“What?! Who dares to bully you?! Tell your teacher! I want to see just who has such nerve!”
Old Zheng’s roar carried a hint of spiritual power, instantly echoing across the entire square.
Earlier, because the content of their discussion was somewhat confidential and not very flattering to the big shots, Zou Huli had set up a soundproof barrier.
However, once the matter was settled, it was removed. Old Zheng was clearly determined to stand up for his newly accepted student.
The teachers and classmates of Class 7, Grade 1 at No. 1 High School exchanged glances. Could it really be what they were imagining?
Li Yanyan felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly. Her arm had been dislocated dozens of times, and now you’re saying I bullied you?
Si Junni was slightly taken aback and used her eyes to ask Old Zheng, “Was it necessary to go this far?”
Old Zheng twisted his facial features slightly. “I’m busy. Hurry up.”
Si Junni roughly understood.
She immediately pointed at No. 1 High School and said, “Our homeroom teacher is snobbish and targets me every day. And my classmates all exclude me and engage in school bullying.”
Si Junni wasn’t exaggerating at all; these people had treated “Si Junni” exactly like this before.
It made the young girl dread coming to school every day, and after her mother passed away, she felt no attachment to the world left and simply took her own life.
Although Si Junni didn’t mind teaching these people a lesson to help them grow, now that she had Awakened an S+ level special ability, there was no reason to stay at No. 1 High School and “add bricks and tiles” to their wall of honor.
If you have backing, you should use it. Relying on it appropriately can also quickly strengthen relationships.
The principal of No. 1 High School’s smile suddenly cracked. The biggest golden thigh… she… she… seemed to be…
He was practically on the verge of tears and hurried over, trotting to explain, “Student Si Junni, don’t worry. I will definitely give you an explanation for all the problems you’ve encountered. Can we go back to the school to resolve this?”
Si Junni shook her head. “I want to transfer schools.”
Old Zheng roughly understood Si Junni’s meaning. Although there were only six months left, almost all of that time would be spent training with the Dragon King Squad, with little time to return.
But an S+ auxiliary Healing Talent was destined to become the brightest star among this year’s students. His good disciple didn’t want her original school to benefit from her.”Alright, where would you like to go?” Old Zheng considered these to be minor matters. If the child wanted to change, then so be it. If it really didn’t work out, they could simply go with him to Shenlong!
