“Poof! Hahaha!”
Seeing Ye Ling’s slightly aggrieved expression, Yun Yi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Taking a deep breath, Yun Yi waved at the two of them.
“Alright, Teacher Hong, Ye Ling, I’ll head in first. You guys should hurry too.”
With that, she walked directly into the dormitory.
Hong Xiu smiled and reminded her, “Yes, do your best. The days ahead won’t be as easy as before.”
Hearing this, Yun Yi responded loudly, “Yes, Teacher Hong!”
As she left, Yun Yi kept looking back, reluctant to part.
After Yun Yi left, Hong Xiu led Ye Ling in another direction.
They were heading to the office of the principal.
Earlier on the airship, the principal had spoken with Hong Xiu, instructing her to bring Ye Ling to meet her in person during registration.
When Hong Xiu received this news, she was somewhat flattered.
Meeting the principal is a great honor for students. Some might spend a whole year at the academy without ever seeing her.
The fact that the principal was willing to meet Ye Ling personally showed how much she valued him.
“Ye Ling, when you meet the principal, don’t be too nervous. Although she usually seems cold and doesn’t talk much, she has a good temper overall. Don’t worry about her making things difficult for you.”
As they walked, Hong Xiu spoke to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling nodded slightly. “Mm.”
He was curious about the principal of Vermilion Bird Academy, who had broken the academy’s rules to recruit him.
This principal must be very capable and not strictly bound by rules.
As for Hong Xiu’s advice not to be too nervous, Ye Ling didn’t take it to heart.
Why should he be nervous? It’s not like he’s meeting his mother-in-law.
If he were meeting his mother-in-law, he might feel a bit anxious, but this wasn’t the case.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the principal’s office.
Wow! This place is luxurious!
No wonder Vermilion Bird Academy is so wealthy.
The principal’s office wasn’t just an office building but a two-story independent villa.
It covered a large area. Having such a good office for the principal showed how rich the academy was.
Ye Ling’s surprise was fleeting, but Hong Xiu noticed it.
She smiled and explained, “Haha! Ye Ling, are you surprised by how luxurious the principal’s office is?
There’s nothing to be surprised about. This is Sacred City. The offices of the principals of the other three academies are just as luxurious.
It’s a symbol of status. The principal’s office can’t be too shabby.”
Even without Hong Xiu’s explanation, Ye Ling didn’t care much.
What use was a good office for the principal? It had nothing to do with him. Maximizing his own benefits was what mattered.
Entering Vermilion Bird Academy, Ye Ling valued the resources and the opening of the Secret Realm the most.
These were the real benefits. Everything else was secondary.
Since they had informed the principal in advance, Hong Xiu and Ye Ling were not stopped by the guards and proceeded smoothly.
They first arrived at a spacious hall and then headed upstairs to the second floor.
Hong Xiu led the way to the central office.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Hong Xiu gently knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
A voice came from inside. Although Ye Ling didn’t know the principal’s age, the voice sounded young.
Ye Ling’s first impression was that the principal might be younger than Hong Xiu.
But this thought quickly passed. It didn’t seem realistic. A principal should be more mature, not younger than Hong Xiu.
Ye Ling hadn’t seen the principal before, as he wasn’t present when Hong Xiu contacted her on the airship.
To be honest, Ye Ling was curious about this principal who broke the rules for him.
What kind of woman had such courage?
“Click!”
Hearing the voice from inside, Hong Xiu gently pushed the door open.
The office was large and well-decorated, but compared to the luxurious exterior of the villa, the principal’s office seemed simple.
As the door opened, Ye Ling finally saw her.
The principal of Vermilion Bird Academy, who was willing to break the rules and put in great effort to recruit him.
