Traveling together made Wen Xishu feel a sense of honor, and left Mr. Jin silent for a while.
Mr. Jin clearly understood the weight of these three words:
"Congratulations, old friend. But I can't et you, and I can't tell you why."
Albert spoke again:
"Do you plan to hide away for the rest of your life?"
Mr. Jin changed the topic:
"I'll let my little grandson accompany you... He will also beco your companion. A bit later... I'll have him co find you."
Xiaojin? Golden Flash?
Wen Xishu pondered, hasn't this plot happened before?
The old principal had arranged for Xiaojin to enter his dorm, with Yue Yun and the others.
Albert was also puzzled:
"That little guy? Haven't you already arranged it? Are you losing your mind?"
Mr. Jin chuckled:
"Albert, my good brother, it's not ti for us to et yet, please take good care of Xiaojin."
Of course, Albert wouldn't really punch through the facility just to et Mr. Jin.
He was still quite lonely inside, with few people he recognized.
But at this mont, Albert felt sothing was odd:
"His talent may be good, but he's not enough to help . Mr. Jin, I've already reached the ninety-seventh floor, why don't we go together to the top of the Slaughter Tower and wait for the young ones to join us, rather than waste life?"
"Or do you have so difficulty? You can tell now!"
Wen Xishu could sense that the old principal actually trusted Mr. Jin very much, and Mr. Jin's inaction... led to the bunker's corruption, but in the old principal's eyes, that wasn't a problem.
And Wen Xishu himself felt it was strange.
Could soone as incredibly talented as Mr. Jin, who was unforgettable to the old principal as an old ally, really be so afraid as to hide in the Healing House wasting life?
But Mr. Jin just sighed softly:
"Go back, take good care of Xiaojin... The ti hasn't co, the ti hasn't co."
Albert was truly disappointed.
Could it be that you're not even willing to tell why? Were all those life-and-death struggles fake? Do you not even trust ?
At this very mont, inside the Healing House, Mr. Jin was as if ditating on a mat, also in deep pain.
"Old friend... I really can't go out."
...
...
Albert and Wen Xishu returned without success.
For the first ti, Wen Xishu saw that soone like the old principal, sharp as a sword, also had tis when he was helpless.
Just as the two were taking the elevator, preparing to return to the academy, a graceful figure suddenly appeared.
Wen Xishu imdiately felt all his inner restlessness vanish, and a sense of peacefulness and softness enveloped the entire world.
The Five Elders, a person who truly reached the ninety-first floor of the Desire Tower with their own abilities, appeared.
Evelyn.
Evelyn was quite accustod to Albert's reaction after being turned away.
"Rejected by Mr. Jin again?"
Albert rarely showed much friendliness towards Evelyn either:
"I'm very annoyed right now... I don't understand what Mr. Jin is doing?"
Evelyn, however, said:
"Shall we go to the place with the mirror for a ga of chess and talk? Or to the Deceit Tower Academy? I have sothing to tell you two. About Xiaojin. Actually... Mr. Jin's grandson."
Albert was puzzled:
"He seems very gifted, but he can't replace Mr. Jin."
Evelyn's words, however, made the story take a mysterious turn:
"What if I told you he's not Mr. Jin's grandson? And if I told you... that little guy isn't little at all, he's even from the sa era as us?"
Wen Xishu's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Evelyn.
At this mont, countless thoughts appeared in Wen Xishu's mind, and he seed to have thought of a possibility.
Albert furrowed his brows:
"What are you saying?"
