CHAPTER 198: CHAPTER 170: THERE’S STILL HOPE, DON’T GIVE UP! - PART 2

And Lin Li was also waiting in anticipation.

Upon stepping forward and taking it, Bai Bufan immediately spread it out in front of himself. A glittering golden title met his eyes:

"Anti-Pornography Vanguard Dog"

Bai Bufan: "?"

Wait a second.

You have got to be kidding me.

Why is there a "Dog" in the title?

No, no, according to Lin Li, this thing has two sides, there’s still a chance.

Bai Bufan’s dead heart was hanging in suspense again, and he excitedly flipped it over. As expected, there were another five glittering golden words.

"Woof Woof Woof Woof Woof"

Bai Bufan: "?"

"Pfft—" The principal, standing to the side, made a sound, and when everyone looked at him, he immediately turned his head and started looking out the window.

No, no, no, no, no.

Bai Bufan felt like he was currently in a jungle cave in the Amazon, first hearing a surge of powerful music and then seeing a giant durian.

He had been utterly humiliated.

Bai Bufan squinted. The Demon Suppression Bureau couldn’t have humiliated him like this, and there were absolutely no official words on this banner.

Come to think of it, how could Sanqiao send him something like this? It definitely wasn’t from them!

Bai Bufan suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Li.

Is it you! Sword Tomb!

"Why are you looking at me like that? How could it be that on the weekend I spent my own money to have Uncle Yang make such a banner, have Sister Sun bring it over to give you hope only to disappoint you and make a fool of you? No way, I couldn’t have done this." Lin Li hurriedly denied in a quick breathless speech.

Shit.

Bai Bufan laughed, a gritted-teeth kind of laugh. If the environment allowed it, his arrow of punishment would have already been shot at Lin Li’s face.

"Sister Sun, do I... really have to... take a photo with this?" Bai Bufan shook the "Woof Woof Woof Woof Woof" in front of him, smiling worse than crying, and asked Sun Ying.

"No, no, no, this is a surprise gift Xiaolin sent to you, haha, it’s not really... suitable for our official platform haha." Sun Ying quickly refused.

Although she was professionally trained, Bai Bufan clutching the banner to his chest, plus his current constipated expression, was just too funny.

Not laughing would be divine.

"You, damn, remember this." Bai Bufan rolled up the banner bit by bit and put it away, facing everyone with a smile but speaking with a voice squeezed through his teeth.

"I’m the ’Anti-Pornography Vanguard’, you’re the ’Anti-Pornography Vanguard Dog’, this is our passionate bond." Lin Li felt like his genuine intentions fed a dog, very sad.

A side glance from Demon Suppression Envoy Fang and he suppressed his laughter, then took out a second banner.

"You’re not going to humiliate me twice, are you?" Bai Bufan apprehensively took a step back.

"You’re not worth me spending that much money." Lin Li shook his head.

Bai Bufan: "..."

Shit.

Still got humiliated twice.

"Teacher Xue, this banner is for you." Demon Suppression Envoy Fang walked towards Xue Jian.

Xue Jian took a step back, also showing apprehension.

Demon Suppression Envoy Fang: "..."

He quickly added, "This banner is from us at Sanqiao."

With the official endorsement, Xue Jian finally sighed with relief. While taking it, he asked curiously, "Officer Fang, can I ask why you’re giving me a banner?"

Although Xue Jian was there that day, he knew clearly he was just eating snacks with his wife and didn’t do anything.

"This was also at Lin Tongxue’s personal request. He said he already has a banner, and receiving another shortly after has no meaning, suggesting it should be given to you for educating Lin Tongxue and Bai Tongxue. We thought it made sense, and you indeed deserve it," Demon Suppression Envoy Fang explained.

Xue Jian: "..."

"For educating Lin Tongxue and Bai Tongxue"

Why... does it sound like an insult?

Xue Jian’s gaze shifted to Lin Li.

This kid occasionally has a human touch.

Did he actually remember what happened last time until now?

Xue Jian opened the single-sided banner, and its content was normal:

"Teaching Excellence, Students All Over the World"

Though unrelated to this recognition, Xue Jian remembers clearly these were the words on the ’fake banner’ he crafted himself.

Was Lin Li mocking him?

Forget it, this darn kid, being sarcastic is his passive skill, probably naturally being cheeky, Xue Jian found it somewhat amusing.

He accepted the banner and sincerely thanked Demon Suppression Envoy Fang.

"Later on when taking photos, Teacher Xue, we will need your cooperation, no avoiding fame this time," Sun Ying said with a smile.

Xue Jian nodded.

The principal took a glance at what Demon Suppression Envoy Fang brought. Seemingly, there wasn’t a third banner. He blinked, scoffed mentally, and went back to looking out the window.

It’s just a banner, he wasn’t interested.

Lin Li, you are such a show-off.

"And here are your bonuses." Demon Suppression Envoy Fang handed the two envelopes with names on them to Lin Li and Bai Bufan. "Because your contributions were different, the amounts vary. Lin Tongxue, you get four thousand yuan. Bai Tongxue, you get eight hundred yuan."

At this moment, Sun Ying added, "Lin Li, although you provided more information this time and indeed helped us eliminate more obscene criminal dens, there was a symbolic addition last time, and it will be slightly more for the first case, so don’t be unhappy about getting less this time. Your Uncle Yang also did his best to fight for you this time."

"I couldn’t be happier, no complaints at all." Lin Li grinned broadly, he loved this part.

Being a ten-thousandaire through his own efforts, this is the power of a cultivator.

Bai Bufan was even more content, even if he only got ten yuan, he’d lament about unexpected windfalls, let alone a full eight hundred, enough to buy a Spring Breeze Elf (Stallone, Schwarzenegger) and switch hands, how marvelous.

"And here are these goods, which Officer Yang specially commissioned me to bring for you two. Consider them his personal rewards. After all, his performance this year..." Demon Suppression Envoy Fang smiled, then took out a bag under the expectant gazes of the two.

As expected, more supermarket gift cards lay at the bottom, along with a few books.

"This rice and noodle card is for you, Lin Li. This ’High School Freshman Workbook’ is for you, Bai Bufan. This soybean oil card is for you, Lin Li. This ’Olympic Challenges’ is for you, Bai Bufan..." Officer Fang distributed the items one by one.

Looking at the stack of educational books before him, Bai Bufan: "..."

He turned to look at Lin Li, and the value cards in front of him.

Lin Li, this time innocently shaking his head: "This really has nothing to do with me, I swear."

Bai Bufan was dumbfounded.

It didn’t seem like Lin Li would deny it at this point.

So, was this Yangliang’s arrangement?

When did he offend him?

Betrayed gratitude! Betrayed gratitude!

"Your Uncle Yang entrusted me to distribute these, he said it signifies different high hopes he has for you both. Don’t let him down, do well."

Demon Suppression Envoy Fang gave a thumbs up. Though he barely held the laughter, he wanted to laugh again seeing Bai Bufan’s expression, feeling it necessary to clarify it wasn’t intentional.

When he got these things from Yangliang, he had asked why they were distributed like this. Yangliang only said Bai Bufan deserved it.

What did this kid do to provoke Brother Yang?

"Thank you."

But after all, they were rewards, the two thanked. Bai Bufan barely smiled, and Lin Li held back laughter equally hard.

The rewards distributed, the following were normal Q&As and photo sessions.

"These photos and my personal info would be anonymous, right?" Bai Bufan, inexperienced, inquired with concern.

He couldn’t let his family know about all this.

"Yes." Sun Ying nodded.

"Right, can I choose my pseudonym?" Bai Bufan asked.

"Sure, Lin Li’s pseudonym is Xiaoli, what do you plan to choose as your pseudonym?" Sun Ying had no objection.

"Lin Li."

"What’s up?"

"Wasn’t calling you," Bai Bufan worried Sun Ying didn’t understand, further explained, and emphasized, "I want my pseudonym to be Lin Li, preferably the full alias as Nansang Middle School Junior One Class Four Lin Li."

Sun Ying: "..."

Who taught you to pick a pseudonym like this, damn.
