1122: A Showdown to Attend the Military School

A Showdown to Attend the Military School

This middle-aged man was the headmaster of Min City military school with the last name Murong. As the head of the military school, Principal Murong was old-fashioned. Students of the military school all knew that he was a just and fair man.1

Principal Murong rarely appeared in the school. Even if he was present, it would only be a flash of his face. When students met him and greeted him, he would nod at them but would never crack a smile. The man had always been reserved and poised.

What about now, though?

Their Principal Murong who was known for being boring and conservative in the military school actually looked like he was meeting his superior right now. He was treating Si Yi in even more initiative and respect than when he met the leader of the nation. It felt like he was pandering to Si Yi!

Min City's military school was a famous school with a long history. Its principals had always been incredibly authoritative and powerful. In other words, even if the provincial leaders came, Principal Murong did not have to bow down to them because his status was unlike the headmasters of regular high schools!

Right now, however, he was so deferential to a young man in his twenties!

It was a shocking sight to everyone who was present, especially Duan Xinchen and Gu Chisi. What they had told Si Yi just now was undeniable. They had spoken to him in such convinced manner that someone like him was unqualified to attend their military school!

With Principal Murong appearing now, it was an invisible slap to both Duan Xinchen and Gu Chisi. Both of them paled instantly and were absolutely mortified.

Contrary to Duan Xinchen and Gu Chisi's embarrassment, Si Yi kept his arm around Yun Jian's waist and extended just a hand, waving a large and fair hand with prominent joints. Mo Sen who understood him took a step forward and extended his hand to Principal Murong on behalf of Si Yi. "Hand it over."

Principal Murong placed the acceptance letter in Mo Sen's hand delightfully and beamed kindly at Si Yi. 

"Uh, have you eaten? Do you want me to swipe my card for you?" Principal Murong asked and quickly pulled a cafeteria card out from his pocket.

One could not buy food in the school cafeteria without the cafeteria card.

"No need." Si Yi was a man of few words to outsiders while he trained his eyes on Yun Jian who was in his embrace. As long as he saw his Xiao Jian, anything upsetting did not matter.

After rejecting Principal Murong, Si Yi suddenly thought that his Xiao Jian might not have eaten, so he looked down at her and asked gently—unlike how he treated outsiders, "Are you hungry?"

"I've eaten," Yun Jian replied and pointed at the lunch she was having not too far away.

"You haven't finished?" Si Yi trailed his gaze after where Yun Jian pointed and frowned.

"Have your lunch first. Don't starve yourself, it's not good for health," Si Yi said and picked up Yun Jian's hand to make his way to where her lunch was.

Si Yi's commanding presence intimidated the whole cafeteria that no one there dared make a move and could only watch as he brought Yun Jian over. Halfway there, Duan Xinchen's voice came from behind them.

"Let's have a duel! If you lose, you're not allowed to attend the military school!"
