420: Chapter 422 People Always Change!
Soon the entire university of Buge Country knew about the arrival of a teacher from Xuan Country who could revive orchids and, more importantly, was a rather handso teacher.
Therefore, more students chose to enroll in Tang Zhong’s public classes.
It was still business as usual.
During the day, Tang Zhong taught classes, and at night, he road the nights of Buge Country, searching for the existence of Origin Stones, but for about a week, Tang Zhong had no success whatsoever.
But there definitely were Origin Stones here; after all, that one stone wouldn’t have been found otherwise.
In Brick City, he had only seen one, which just goes to show how rare these Origin Stones are.
But one day, after Tang Zhong had just finished a public class, he walked into his office.
The junior assistant, Nailer, approached slowly and said to Tang Zhong, “Professor Tang!”
She seed hesitant to speak her mind.
“What’s wrong?” Tang Zhong asked.
“It’s, it’s nothing.” Nailer smiled and said, “Professor, do you have any ti?”
“I do,” Tang Zhong replied.
“It’s like this, Professor Tang, I’d like to ask you for a favor,” Nailer said.
“What kind of favor?”
“There’s a student gathering coming up, and I hope you can accompany .
The main issue is they’ve chosen a bad location, and I’m scared to go there alone,” Nailer explained and then quickly added, “Professor Tang, if you’re busy, it’s okay not to go.”
“I’ll go,” Tang Zhong replied.
He had figured out the junior assistant’s personality over these days; she was neither deceitful nor one to show off.
She must have gathered a lot of courage to ask him for help.
And how could he have a reason not to help?
“Really?” The assistant’s eyes widened with surprise as she looked at Tang Zhong.
“When do we go?” Tang Zhong asked.
“Tonight.”
“Then wait for after work,” Tang Zhong said.
“Yes, Professor,” Nailer responded, sweet as if honeyed.
In the evening, after classes ended,
Nailer ca to pick up Tang Zhong in a red sedan.
The junior assistant was wearing a new dress, of an unknown brand, but she looked exceptionally stunning in it.
Normally, she didn’t wear makeup, but today she had put in a little effort to spruce up.
However, looking at the assistant’s expression, it seed like sothing was troubling her, but Tang Zhong did not ask.
Nailer’s car was an extrely ordinary one, a standard model from abroad, worth about twenty thousand yuan.
“Professor Tang, this is my car.
I hope you don’t mind!” Nailer said.
She knew Tang Zhong was definitely not simple and had no idea why he ca to Buge, but she knew for sure that he was wealthy.
“Of course not!” Tang Zhong got into the car.
Then Nailer started driving.
“The gathering is at a hotel in the south of the city.
There are warlord troops there, and it’s too dangerous for to go alone, so I invited Professor Tang to join ,” Nailer explained.
“No worries.
Who is the warlord over there?” Tang Zhong asked.
“You must be new to Buge, Professor.
Let tell you, our Si Bo Island is actually quite tumultuous.
Despite Buge Country having a King and a Prince, the real power doesn’t lie with them.
It’s held by a warlord known as ‘One-eyed Snake,'” Nailer said.
One-eyed Snake, Tang Zhong still rembered the na.
Last ti it was this man who sent n to find him, and Tang Zhong had so brazenly pierced a plane with a steel pipe.
“Professor, you might not know this, but the situation on Si Bo Island is very chaotic.
There’s a term ‘Thirteen Giants of Si Bo Island,’ representing thirteen warlords, and among them, One-eyed Snake is one.
“Hmm,” Tang Zhong nodded.
“The place we’re going to has soldiers patrolling nearby, so it’s best to be careful!” Nailer said.
“No problem!” Tang Zhong waved his hand and leaned back in his seat.
Seeing him, Nailer gazed at Tang Zhong’s profile, her heart racing.
Soon, the car weaved through the roads and quickly arrived in the southern part of the city.
The south of the city was the south of Buge Country.
And the further south you went, the more distinct the architectural style beca, with lighthouses appearing everywhere.
On the lighthouses, soldiers stood guard, each holding a Long Spear, standing there.
The two of them often encountered soldiers’ interrogations as they drove.
However, they eventually reached their destination.
It was a five Star Level hotel called Snake Palace, founded with investnt from Cyclops.
“We’re here, Professor!” Nailer said.
“Mm!” Tang Zhong got out of the car.
Only then did he look around.
You had to admit, Cylops did have so brains.
Even as a Warlord, he controlled a small nation to make money.
But this didn’t concern Tang Zhong much.
He now needed to find Blood Power and strengthen himself so that when he faced Tang Ran, he would have ample confidence.
And ever since he learned that Tang Ran was an amazing Martial Artist, Tang Zhong understood why, back then, when Tang Ran targeted him, no one in the country intervened.
Because Tang Ran was a Martial Artist, and at that ti, in others’ eyes, he was just a lowly King of Soldiers; the gap in their value was just too great.
So, strength is the capital that decides everything.
Without strength, everything else you say is just hot air.
“This is it, Professor!” Nailer said.
At that mont, a rcedes S600 pulled up beside them, and a woman dressed in red, a typical glamorous woman, got out of the car, along with a white-skinned man who exuded the aura of a successful person and wore glasses.
As soon as the woman got out, her eyes swept around and suddenly landed on Nailer.
She exclaid, “You…
you are…
who are you again?”
Nailer turned back to see the woman and imdiately recognized her.
This person was one of her closest dorm mates back in the day when they went to school together in a foreign city and then returned to work in Buge together.
They had been in touch before, but after the other got married, she hadn’t contacted Nailer again.
“It’s , Nailer…
Jenny, don’t you rember ?” Nailer said with a smile.
“Of course, it’s you!” The glamorous woman appeared to suddenly realize.
Then, the white-skinned man stepped forward and asked the glamorous woman, “Jenny, who is she?”
After that, his gaze fell on Nailer, his eyes nearly lighting up as he scrutinized her closely.
The beautiful woman nad Jenny’s face turned in an instant, and she said angrily, “I was the belle of the university, and she was just soone who hung around with .
What about it?
Do you fancy her?
If you do, I can introduce you right now!”
“No…” the white man responded imdiately.
Hearing this, Nailer’s face abruptly changed, and she looked at Jenny and said, “Jenny, how…
how could you speak of like that?”
“Oh…
Sorry, classmate, I forgot your na!” Jenny said with a laugh.
“Jenny, I’m Nailer.
Didn’t we have a really good ti back then?” Nailer said disbelievingly.
Back in university, she and Jenny were inseparable.
Nailer was the undisputed belle of the campus, and with Jenny being a social oddity, nobody wanted to be friends with her.
Ignoring the stares of others, Nailer had befriended Jenny, and she had co to this gathering to see Jenny.
She had not expected to encounter a scene like this.
“I was good friends with you?
Don’t you start drawing connections here!” Jenny said disdainfully.
Nailer couldn’t believe this was Jenny, and she wanted to keep talking.
But Jenny had already walked away, chatting and laughing with the white man, heading into the hotel.
“This…
this isn’t her!” Nailer muttered to herself.
At that mont, Tang Zhong spoke soothingly, “People always change.
Let’s go, we’re here for the gathering, aren’t we?
Let’s check it out.”
(Happy Valentine’s Day!)
