In response, Ouyang Wei returned a friendly smile.
After covering his mouth and coughing a few tis, he turned and left with Instructor Yu.
Once my cultivation becos powerful enough, I can use the [Celestial Doctor] talent to completely heal the hidden injuries left on my class teacher from years ago… Lin Guang thought to himself.
Before long, Wang Dawei and Wang Xiaosheng ca over again.
Lin Guang had previously seen a photo of the two in Wang Dawei's social circle, seemingly taken at so business event. At that ti, Wang Xiaosheng wore an exquisite suit, with hair gel styling his hair. Although not very obvious, his eyes indeed carried a slight nouveau riche aura.
But now, he was dressed in a simple blue plaid shirt, his face brimming with smiles, his eyes nearly squinted shut by the cheeks rising on either side, and he deliberately bent his waist a little as he approached Lin Guang, extending his hand.
"Hello, hello, Lin Guang. I'm Wang Dawei's father, Wang Xiaosheng. I've long wanted to et you, but I was afraid of disturbing your studies; today I finally took the opportunity to do so. I really must thank you for your help, not only aiding my son's Spirit Beast to evolve with great potential but also helping him achieve such excellent results in the joint exam. I really don't know how to thank you. Previously, I was blind and misunderstood you; I must ask for your forgiveness."
Saying this, Wang Xiaosheng pulled out a sowhat familiar shopping card from his pocket. Lin Guang didn't even look at the amount, directly shaking his head and refusing, "Uncle Wang, Dawei and I are good friends, so this isn't necessary."
"Why be polite with him," Wang Dawei suddenly cut in, gesturing grandly, "Even close brothers have to keep clear accounts, let alone the fact that my dad treated you this way before."
But Lin Guang still shook his head and refused, and Wang Xiaosheng slapped his forehead, apologetically smiling, "If you won't accept it, that's fine. But since you call uncle, in discussing the cooperation on the White Illusion Phoenix later, I certainly must give you a larger share of the profits."
Lin Guang did not avoid this topic; instead, he pondered for a mont and nodded, "Professor Hu has already found soone to start preparing for this. I estimate that my junior researcher certification will be issued within these two months, and we can discuss this with him then."
——Such a young junior researcher!
Wang Xiaosheng's face blood with a smile, "That can be arranged, that can be arranged!"
This is precisely the "first pot of gold" Lin Guang wanted to gather upon arriving here, collaborating with Wang Xiaosheng to strive to beco the largest supplier of the White Phoenix Parrot and the materials needed for its evolution.
The White Phoenix Parrot is already common and can evolve from a green excellent level Spirit Beast all the way to a Purple Legend level. By then, the price will certainly soar to an incomprehensible level within a short ti.
Even if Lin Guang now has connections with the True Man and can speak wherever he goes in Zhen Sheng City, this profit is not to be underestimated.
Of course, he could completely choose not to have Wang Xiaosheng as his agent.
But... with the interest ties already bound, why not choose him?
Shortly after they left, Liu Feifan suddenly appeared with a young woman wearing sunglasses and dressed stylishly, looking about twenty-five to twenty-six years old, walking up to Lin Guang.
She pulled the round sunglasses up to her forehead, revealing a pair of energetic, sharp eyes. She glanced at Vishdair and then returned her gaze to Lin Guang, her face showing an interested expression: "Lin Guang?"
"That's , and you are?"
Lin Guang nodded slightly, feeling that this woman seed sowhat familiar.
The woman with sunglasses whistled softly, extending her hand to him, "I'm Lei Wanting, nice to et you."
Lin Guang rembered sothing, sowhat surprised as he shook hands with her, "Are you from Thunder Weekly?"
"That's ."
Liu Feifan laughed, "Strictly speaking, she's also your senior."
"She also graduated from Zhen Sheng Experintal School."
"Then I'll brazenly call you senior,"
Lei Wanting looked at Lin Guang, smiling as she said, "So it turns out Lin Guang junior isn't like the rumors say, completely rejecting social dia with the old-style Spirit Master conduct."
Lin Guang smiled, glossing over the fact that "he feels uncomfortable without voraciously absorbing information online, though he never posts or speaks up": "Not really, I do occasionally check online for news."
"I've long admired senior's na."
Speaking of Lei Wanting, most locals in Zhen Sheng City wouldn't be unfamiliar. Her following on social dia is in the tens of millions, and even in Fenghai Province, she's considered quite a well-known public figure.
However, her running of an account and a weekly seems more like a hobby, or rather a quirk.
Almost all young people in Zhen Sheng City know that she has a peculiar passion for uncovering truths, much like how ordinary people enjoy gossip, but what she loves to reveal is not personal misconduct scandals but various corporation and power scandals.
Whether it's about building a persona for justice or having a unique fetish for watching big figures fall hard is irrelevant; at least in recent years, she's been involved in exposing nurous shocking scandals across Fenghai Province, with quite a few involving powerful backers, even causing so Five-star Spirit Masters to be driven to desperation and flee abroad or into the wilderness, but Lei Wanting just goes against them, highlighting her boldness in not fearing retaliation.
And one point is worth pondering.
Though she graduated from Zhen Sheng City Experintal School, a public school, many secretly speculate, and even have so traces of evidence to deduce, that besides breaking through Four-Star before thirty, she has strong self-defense skills likely due to being the favored descendant of a certain True Man, which might explain why she hasn't been retaliated against and t an untily demise in the wilderness.
Otherwise, it doesn't explain why she knows many senior researchers willing to vouch for her revelations and why she possesses such vast connections.
Principal Liu laughed heartily, "In this age, the spread of information is also an important power. Although I'm old and don't really understand this, I think more connections among you young folks is definitely a good thing — when you're well connected, you should utilize it well."
"The road of a Spirit Master naturally involves so fighting and struggles, but nobody said relationships and social etiquettes are not allowed."
This also clarifies why she would attend the banquet as an "unrelated person."
"Lin Guang junior, I've been tracking the tail of a big fish lately. It's taken a lot of effort to get a clue, and that's when I finally had a bit of free ti, so I accepted the principal's invite."
"Don't be afraid of people saying I'm self-serving; I did plan to co this way specifically for you, junior."
After explaining, Lei Wanting was not the least bit embarrassed, looking at Lin Guang with eyes brimming with excitent, sowhat eagerly asking, "Let's set up a ti then. Had I not been busy, I would have co to interview you long ago."
...Truly unexpectedly straightforward and action-oriented.
"No problem."
Lin Guang agreed first and then curiously asked, "What is senior busy with; are you planning to uncover so black industry?"
"Most likely, it's not as simple as black industry."
In an instant, Lei Wanting's face seed to show an unusually heavy expression, accompanied by a hint of excitent at discovering sothing interesting, before returning to normal and kindly smiling, "Though I'm grateful you can agree to an interview, it involves significant matters; and I don't yet have solid evidence, so I'm unable to divulge too much, only that I'm tracking a company in Mingguang District."
"Understandable," Lin Guang responded.
"That would be great."
Lei Wanting ca quickly and left just as swiftly, setting a ti before leaving the banquet hall.
The banquet concluded without any hitches in a joyful atmosphere.
Notably, several days later, the three major families contacted Lin Guang through Principal Liu's channels for discussions regarding the Fla Turtle Secret Realm, which concerned the Golden Mountain fountain.
Perhaps due to Lin Guang's current burgeoning influence, the person in charge was quite amicable, not showing any airs of a noble family, enabling Lin Guang to sell the favorite spiritual material formula for Water Separation Essence at a good price.
Who can say what expressions they'll have next year when they realize that such a spectacular Heaven-Burning Water display necessitates Lin Guang's exclusive secret formula to manifest again?
