Chapter 131: Stepping Together (Second Update Today!)

  Most of what he said was fabricated, I didn't quite believe it, and I'm more inclined to think that it's just a rumor from the school. "Heh heh, you guys know, this kind of thing is very normal." Another male teacher joined in on the discussion with a sly expression.

  Yi Ning's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she really couldn't bear to listen to these people gossiping about others behind their backs, so she got up and left.

  After she left, a male teacher sneered and said: "Did you see that? Teacher Yining might have a crush on the arrogant Qin Lide."

  "Don't talk nonsense, you haven't even seen her face, where did this good feeling come from!" The physically fit male teacher said somewhat displeased.

  "Hey, Teacher Wei didn't want to listen, but what I said is true! Look at the expression on Ms. Yi's face when we just mentioned Qin Li, she looked very dissatisfied, who knows, maybe they knew each other before."

  "Impossible." The robust and handsome Mr. Wei said loudly, "Hmph, I'll go challenge him tomorrow! Let him understand that in this Imperial Advanced Academy, there's no room for him to be arrogant and domineering!"

  Qin Li's first time here, he could feel the youthful vigor and freshness emanating from these young men and women. Unlike his imagination of them being spoiled rich kids, they didn't differ much from the scholars he had met in his past life. The only difference was that these seemingly passionate youngsters were actually geniuses among geniuses, elites among elites!

  And yet I can guide such a person, it's really unpredictable how things turn out in life.

  Qin Li needs to go to the Academic Affairs Office for registration first, although his identity is very noble, but since he has come to the college, everything must follow the arrangement of the college, and making special cases will only make people look down on him.

  Anyway, it's just once a week after all. Qin Li thought.

  As soon as he got off the carriage, there was already someone waiting here, a young girl who was slightly nervous. With a warm smile at Qin Li: "Excuse me, are you Teacher Qin Li?"

  Qin Li nodded and said: "I am"

  The girl saw Qin Li being very casual and her tension eased a bit, saying: "Please go upstairs, the vice principal is waiting for you!"

  That group of students saw Qin Li enter the college's office building, and they all stopped in their tracks, waiting outside. For this young marquis who had been making a name for himself in Qinglong City recently, not seeing him today would be unacceptable.

  Among the crowd was Princess Zhao Xuanxuan of the royal family, who was with several other girls. A humble and unassuming discussant.

  One of the girls with freckles on her face looked at Zhao Qianqian and asked, "Princess Qianqian, do you think that Qin Li teacher is really that formidable? He can actually make a Heavenly-level warrior attack and defend?"

  "It's Tianji Ninth Order! Dust Grandfather is the Royal Chief Great Offerer!" Zhao Xiangxiang corrected, "How could I deceive you? At that time, Father Emperor said he was more powerful than me, and I didn't believe it. You will know soon, he is really very strong!"

  "With such a strong person guiding us, I think we can make even faster progress." A plump and pretty girl with a hopeful face said. "Silent sister, you're infatuated! You've got spring fever!" Zhao Xiangxiang teased her companion with a smile.

  The long and beautiful silent laughter smiled: "What's the big deal? I think you, Princess, are also afraid of Teacher Qin Li."

  "Don't you dare say that!" Zhao Yuyue suddenly blushed, fiercely staring at Wu Yin, and threatened: "If you dare to say it, I won't take you to the Royal Garden to enjoy the scenery in a few days!"

  "Alright, alright." She silently pouted and muttered under her breath: "Seriously, if you like someone just say it, what's the big deal? Hmph, I knew you'd try to intimidate me."

  Qin Li followed the young woman, walking all the way to a very large room on the third floor. The young girl knocked gently on the door, and a majestic voice sounded from inside.

  "Please come in!"

  The girl opened the door and made a gesture towards Qin Li, then she herself stayed outside.

  Qin Li walked into the room, which was a very large office. The outer part was a reception area, and the inner part was where the actual work took place. As Qin Li entered, a man in his forties with a pale face, no beard, short hair, and piercing eyes came out from inside. He looked refined and elegant, and it could be seen that he must have been a handsome young man in his youth.

  Qin Li saw this person and was immediately stunned, a flash of surprise flickered in his eyes.

  The newcomer didn't seem to notice these things, looking at Qin Li and saying calmly: "You're the Five Elements Marquis Qin Li, right? I'm the Violet Chrysanthemum Marquis Bo Tong! Also, I'm the vice principal of the Advanced Academy. Nice to meet you! Recently, I've heard a lot about you too. In short, you're a genius martial artist. Welcome, come to Qinglong Country and make contributions to cultivating talents for Qinglong Country!"

  Qin Li heard the vice principal's name and was suddenly startled, but he didn't show it. Just now when he saw this person for the first time, he felt very familiar because he looked just like Bu Yunyan! He didn't expect that this person would actually have the surname Bu!

  Qin Li had never asked before, and it turned out that the surname "Yunyan" was his mother's maiden name. It seemed that Yunyan had lied, or perhaps her mother had not told her daughter the truth! Maybe she didn't want her daughter to find that man based on their surnames in the future, or maybe there were other reasons. However, Yunyan's mother had already passed away. And this man, it turned out he had a relationship with Yunyan!

  "Since you've come to the academy, then don't think about titles and such. Any lecturer in the academy is at least an earl or viscount. Everyone here is a noble appointed by His Majesty, but within the academy, we must follow the academy's rules?" said with slow and deliberate speech.

  Qin Li had a feeling of returning to his previous life, facing those small officials, and having a sense of absurdity in his heart. However, Qin Li did not refute anything. He just smiled and nodded slightly.

  Bu Tong felt a bit better seeing that Qin Li didn't have the usual arrogant and domineering attitude, in fact, he didn't like this young master coming to teach at the Advanced Academy at all!

  The reason is simple, it's because of the high-ranking academy. The person with the most power right now is him. The principal is often not around. He appears and disappears mysteriously, and even when he occasionally comes back, he locks himself in his room to research something. Everyone in the entire academy knows that the principal is preparing to break through to the Heavenly rank, so he doesn't have any mind to take care of the affairs within the academy.

  While the other deputy deans in the college are also very old, they are either obsessed with research or obsessed with self-cultivation, and they all look at power as something trivial.

  The only strong and capable manager is right in front of you!

  He is different from ordinary people, he is forty-five years old this year. With the strength of the ninth rank of the ground level, it can be said that it is not bad, but he does not want to develop too deeply in martial arts, what he likes most is the feeling of holding power in his hands. That wonderful aftertaste always makes him feel satisfied and high, the feeling of being admired by everyone, it's simply endless!

  The old principal was actually a heavenly level expert. The day he entered the realm of breaking through the heavens was the same day he took the position of principal!

  The principal of Imperial Advanced College, the power in his hands is not even smaller than that of a great general!

  To know that those who graduate from here are the high-end elite talents of the whole country! And if he becomes the principal, these people will be his students forever!

  What kind of connection is this? Who can keep up with it?

  In fact, things have been developing in this direction all along, and even the cultivation has been put aside. Taking charge of major and minor matters in the college, a very high prestige was quickly formed.

  Last year, the old principal who had been missing for a long time reappeared and was said to be in long-term seclusion. He was preparing to make a breakthrough to the Heavenly level, and then completely hand over the power in his hands to Bu Tong.

  Although nominally still a vice president, everyone in the senior college knew that the next president would definitely be him!

  Including himself, he also thinks so.

  Unexpectedly, recently. A genius youth suddenly appeared in Qinglong City, sweeping through the Great Green Gang and gaining the favor of Emperor and Royal Chief Attendant Dusty Cold. And was directly recommended to take up a teaching position at the Advanced Academy.

  This made Bu Tong extremely uncomfortable. Others might only see Qin Li's young and noble title, and feel jealous of it, but Bu Tong was different. He was more worried about his own future!

  Because he is His Highness the Crown Prince's person! And Qin Li, on the other hand, is a thorn in the eye of His Highness the Crown Prince!

  Not only that, but at such a young age, he already possesses such strength. It's easy for him to become an idol in the eyes of those geniuses at Imperial Academy who are above the rest!

  It may seem like nothing, but if Qin Li is good at utilizing this relationship, then before long, the reputation of the young master Hou will be comparable to his own, and even surpass him!

  So, Bù Tóng disliked this person very much. If he could have refused, he definitely wouldn't have agreed to let Qin Lì come to the Advanced Academy.

  He narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up the seemingly gentle young man for a few moments, before speaking in a light tone: "For now, you'll go take charge of the Advanced Ding Class. Their teacher just got transferred to be the City Master of a certain city, so you can fill in the vacancy. Alright, you can leave now. Later, someone will lead you over."

  Others don't quite welcome him, so Qin Li naturally won't be too polite either, especially after feeling that this man is related to Bu Yunyan. Qin Li smiled slightly and said: "Vice Principal Bu, His Majesty has said that I only need to come here one day a week, casually guide the students, and that's it. In other words, I don't need the salary of a high-level college. I can only be considered a guest lecturer, yes, just a guest lecturer."

  "Does Mr. Qin mean that he is not planning to become a full-time lecturer at the Advanced Academy?" Bo Tong's face showed no expression, his eyes narrowed slightly as he asked lightly.
