CHAPTER 1057: CHAPTER 425: RETURNING HOME IN GLORY (5-IN-1)

Next morning.

Soft sunlight streamed through the glass window, falling on the sleeping Su Ming.

Buzz buzz!

Just then, the wristband vibrated, displaying the word "Rhein" on the screen.

Su Ming opened his eyes, glanced at the wristband, lazily stretched, and then answered, asking.

"Rhein, what’s up?"

"Boss, Vice Principal Fleck is looking for you, wants you to come by the school."

"Vice Principal Fleck?"

"That’s right."

"Alright, I’ll head back now."

Su Ming thought for a moment; after all, he was just idling around, might as well visit the school, better than being watched like a monkey in the family.

"Alright!"

Rhein then hung up the call.

Su Ming immediately got up and walked towards the bathroom.

A moment later.

Su Ming, after washing up and getting dressed, stepped out of the room. As he stepped out, he bumped into Xia Lan.

Xia Lan had changed into a blue casual outfit, with a delicate hairpin on her neatly combed short hair, giving her a softer look.

"Miss Xia Lan, good morning!"

Su Ming greeted her with some surprise, and then walked past her.

"Good morning, Su..."

Xia Lan froze mid-sentence.

Then she quickly turned around and caught up with Su Ming, saying.

"Su Ming, wait a moment!"

"Uh? What’s the matter?"

Su Ming asked, puzzled, looking at Xia Lan.

"Do you have time today? I want to invite you for a walk."

Xia Lan took a deep breath, looked Su Ming in the eyes, and invited him straightforwardly.

It was the first time Su Ming had been hit so directly; he was slightly startled for a moment, but he still apologetically said.

"Sorry, Miss Xia Lan! It’s really a bad timing, Vice Principal Fleck from Imperial Court Academy needs to see me, so I have to head back to the school."

Hearing Su Ming’s words, Xia Lan looked a bit disappointed, but she still smiled and replied.

"Alright, maybe next time!"

"Yeah, we can go together when there’s a chance. I have to go now."

Su Ming said goodbye politely and then turned to leave.

Xia Lan stood there watching Su Ming’s departing figure, letting out a long sigh.

"Sigh!"

Just then, Violet walked up to Xia Lan, smiling, and said.

"Sixth Sister, what’s wrong?"

"Seventh Sister, why is it so hard for me to find a match? It’s either a bunch of weirdos, or the ones I like don’t like me back."

Xia Lan replied with sadness.

"Isn’t that normal? If a woman is excellent, she’ll pick a man; if a man is excellent, he’ll pick a woman too!"

"Sigh~ If I had your faces and figures, would I be so troubled? I know men like those two big buns, but mine are only sesame-size, it’s so annoying."

"Alright, Sixth Sister, maybe he’s really busy and not avoiding you. Plus, men are naturally career-focused."

Violet gently consoled Xia Lan.

"Seventh Sister, stop comforting me. I’ll find a doctor to help me insert two, and then give it a try."

Xia Lan replied with dimmed eyes.

"..."

------------------

Imperial Court Academy·Parking Area.

The sky echoed with a huge roar as Su Ming piloted the Fake V Generation Mecha·Shadow Lord to land.

Bang!

The Shadow Lord landed steadily on the docking spot, and then the cockpit opened.

Su Ming floated down as Rhein and a few others walked up to greet him.

"Boss!"

"So, what’s going on?"

Su Ming asked Rhein and the others.

"I don’t know. Nothing, we bumped into Vice Principal Fleck after returning to school."

Rhein scratched his head and explained.

"And then? What trouble did you cause?"

Su Ming suspiciously glanced at Rhein and the others.

"None, we didn’t cause any trouble. It’s just that the city exams are coming, and the upper-year students are on the front lines, so the academy doesn’t have enough people to monitor the exams, and we just happen to be available."

Rhein quickly explained to Su Ming.

"So it’s about the city exams, I thought it was something else."

"Boss, are we doing this job?"

"Since we’re free, let’s help out. I’ll go see Vice Principal Fleck first."

Su Ming said to Rhein and the others.

"Alright!"

Rhein and the others immediately replied.

....

Not long after, Su Ming arrived at Vice Principal Fleck’s office door; he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Vice Principal Fleck’s voice sounded from the office.

Su Ming opened the door and walked straight in.

Seeing Su Ming come in, Vice Principal Fleck immediately got up and greeted him eagerly.

"Ah, Su Ming, you’re here! Wait, you got promoted to Vice Admiral?"

"Yes, just got promoted!"

"That’s great! Have a seat, I’ll make you some tea!"

"Vice Principal Fleck, isn’t it just about monitoring exams? No need to be so polite."

Su Ming also felt a little strange.

"It’s necessary, drink some tea first."

Vice Principal Fleck quickly made a cup of tea for Su Ming.

"Vice Principal Fleck, shouldn’t we discuss business first?"

Su Ming said uneasily.

"Drink first, then we’ll talk."

Vice Principal Fleck said with a smile.

Su Ming felt it was hard to refuse, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said.

"Vice Principal Fleck, please go ahead!"

"It’s like this, with the city exams coming up, I’m short of staff."

"No problem, I can help monitor the exams."

"I knew at crucial times, I could rely on you; so please help monitor at Rain Capital."

Vice Principal Fleck said with a radiant smile.

Cough cough!

Su Ming, upon hearing the words "Rain Capital," choked on his tea and shook his head like a rattle, refusing.

"No way, find someone else better for this!"

Kidding, Rain Capital is a hotspot for corruption; if he goes to monitor exams there, he’d surely end up playing the bad guy, resulting in chaos.
