Surprise! The popular villain is actually Long Aotian's wife

Just as Lan Chi was about to slap the young man in plain clothes in the face, he was stopped by someone.

"Who the hell do you think you are to meddle in the Lan family's affairs?" Lan Chi looked at the person standing in front of him unhappily.

Xiao Lin grabbed Lan Chi's arm to stop him.

"I don't mean to meddle in the Lan family's affairs. It's just that Young Master Lan has been taking up the position and has been reluctant to go up to check his qualifications. I'm afraid that the academy manager will be unhappy."

Xiao Lin smiled apologetically, then lowered his voice and said, "I see the steward's expression is very bad. Dealing with him is a small matter, but offending the steward is a big matter. Master Lan might as well go and get tested quickly and let this person go for now."

After hearing this, Lan Chi immediately relaxed his brows and glanced at the brown-clothed steward.

He immediately withdrew his hand and said, "Well, considering your kind words of advice, I will let him go for now."

Then he waved his hand and asked the others to let go of the young man in plain clothes. "I will let you go this time, but you will definitely have to pay for it next time."

Lan Chi even glanced at Xiao Lin arrogantly and snorted, "You're smart, I'll remember you first."

Xiao Lin smiled slightly and returned to his seat.

What is going on? What is going on?

Qi Ertian, who was eavesdropping in Qi Wu Yue's sleeve, was dumbfounded.

Shouldn't the plot be about teaching the dude a lesson and giving him a slap in the face?

How come after these words, not only did he save the man but he also won the favor of this playboy.

Just now, Qi Ertian peeked out from the gap in his sleeve, and his eyes lit up when he saw Lan Chi appear.

Here comes the top quality cannon fodder in the book—the second generation of cultivators who has a lot of money, a bad mouth and is a badass.

But she waited and waited, and seeing that the young man in plain clothes was about to be beaten, the protagonist showed no intention of taking action.

Qi Ertian: What are you doing, beat him up?

Qi Ertian anxiously reminded Qi Wu Yue that this cannon fodder would be involved in several plots later after entering the academy.

For example, if a dude is beaten, he will not accept it and will call for help. Then the person he calls will be beaten in the face again. Then the person he calls for help will be beaten in the face again, and so on.

Not knowing if the change in the plot would have any negative impact, Qi Wu Yue tugged at Xiao Lin's clothes and signaled with his eyes, "Do you want help?"

Xiao Lin stopped Qi Wuyue who was about to step forward and said, "I have a way."

It was not until Qi Wu Yue spoke that Xiao Lin said those words. However, he did not teach Lan Chi a lesson. Instead, he saved the young man in plain clothes in another roundabout way.

Qi Wu Yue: The result of your method is not what I want.

Qi Wu Yue had no choice but to give hints overtly and covertly. In fact, there is a saying in experience - you must pick things that can lead to a fight, and you must beat those who deserve a beating, especially those who can do it.

Xiao Lin smiled and said, "Practice more often and you will improve quickly. We are new here, so there is no need to provoke resentment."

Qi Wu Yue nodded in agreement with his idea. A tactful and high emotional intelligence way of dealing with people and things is very helpful in building personal connections.

Then he sent a message to Er Tian: "Since he has changed, it may not be a bad thing. You can't always follow his lead to follow the plot."

Qi Ertian: "I'm just afraid that the plot will change, and I might miss some golden fingers."

Qi Wu Yue was fearless: "No problem."

He is best at finding trouble.

Over there, Lan Chi reported his name to the brown-clothed steward who was in charge of recording names. The brown-clothed steward frowned and slammed the pen on the table heavily, "Get in line!"

Seeing the steward was angry, Lan Chi thought it was because he had kept the steward waiting for a long time, so he quickly put on a smile and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. Consider these spirit stones as my way of treating the steward to tea as an apology."

As he said this, he handed over a storage bag.

The brown-robed steward stood up and said coldly, "I'll say it again, line up in an orderly manner, everyone should do the same."

Lan Chi turned pale after being refuted. He took back the spirit stone and said arrogantly, "You are just a red-level manager. I give you some face because I think highly of you. Our Lan family is not someone you, a fourth-level Condensation Vein Master, can mess with."

Even though he is a red-level steward, he is not afraid at all because he has the big tree of Shengyao College behind him.

He sneered and said, "You all standing here must have backgrounds that are not powerful enough to make me bow down. Those with real backgrounds would not be standing here. There are some who can enter the academy directly without taking the exam or even enter the inner courtyard."

The brown-clothed steward snorted coldly, and the pressure from the Veins Condensation Stage appeared.

Lan Chi and several of his followers were suppressed to the point that they were sweating profusely and could not raise their heads. He waved his hands and beat them to the end of the team.

The voice spread with the help of spiritual power and echoed on the top of the mountain. "If anyone again uses their family background to take advantage of the situation, they will be disqualified from registering!"

Qi Wu Yue raised his eyebrows, "So this is what you were thinking?"

"Generally speaking, the academy won't intervene in fights. It's common to sign contracts and challenge each other, so even if the manager wanted to, he couldn't do anything about what happened just now."

"But queue-cutting is different. Breaking the rules will naturally be punished. This is just a warning. If you still insist, it won't be that simple." Xiao Lin said slowly.

He had noticed before that the manager looked unhappy, as if he was dissatisfied with Lan Chi's domineering behavior. Rather than rashly showing up to cause trouble, it would be better to kill with a borrowed knife.

The steward in brown clothes had always looked down upon those dandy young men. After beating the man up, he felt refreshed and his voice became much lighter.

"Next one, name?"

The young man in plain clothes quickly replied: "Wang Zhi, thank you for your help just now."

The brown-robed steward waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's go up and test it."

Wang Zhi walked up to the tin base, stood in front of the blue crystal pillar, nervously stretched out his hand and placed it on the spirit stone, watching the blue crystal light up, and the light spread upwards little by little along the height.

I kept repeating to myself that I must pass this.

He came from an ordinary family, but he was the only one with the best talent in the family. He heard that Shengyao College was recruiting students, so he worked hard to raise spiritual stones to come here. If he returned empty-handed this time, he would be too ashamed to go back.

The fat steward on the stage looked at the height of the lighted spirit stone and said in a hoarse voice, "Qualification three stars, passed."

Wang Zhi was overjoyed. If he could enter Shengyao College, he would be able to obtain more resources. If he could get a Spirit Cleansing Fruit, he could wash away the excess water-based spiritual power for his younger brother.

His younger brother has mixed spiritual powers of the three elements of wood, fire and water. If he can wash away the water spiritual power one day, he may become an alchemist.

An alchemist is something that many people can only dream of.

"Next, Chen Nian."

"Qualification is four stars, qualified."

The two brown-clothed stewards on and off the stage are one fat and one thin. The fat steward on the stage is responsible for all matters related to the testing of spirit stones, including the purchase of testing spirit stones.

The purchase of the spirit stones is funded by the college.

Spirit stones are generally divided into three grades: high, medium and low. Different grades can withstand different energies and their prices vary greatly.

Top-grade spirit stones are rare and seldom used. The price of mid-grade spirit stones is ten times that of low-grade spirit stones.

Therefore, the amount of funds allocated by the college is sufficient to purchase two medium-grade spirit stones.

However, in order to make a profit, the fat steward replaced the middle-grade spirit stones stipulated by the academy with low-grade spirit stones.

The price of two middle-grade spirit stones is enough to buy twenty low-grade spirit stones. However, if you encounter some students with superior qualifications, the low-grade spirit stones will be limited and explode.

However, according to the previous enrollment situation, it is estimated that no more than ten low-grade spirit stones are damaged each time enrollment occurs.

By this calculation, the fat steward can earn more than a medium-grade spirit stone every time.

The same was true for the qualification inspection this time. The fat steward purchased twenty low-grade testing spirit stones.
