The bell rang.
The classroom's broadcast system was also turned on, and a female voice with a professional broadcasting tone came through the speakers.
【Students, we have an important announcement. Su Hua, the head of Su Corporation and a board member of our school, will be attending the opening ceremony this afternoon.】
【At that time, please maintain discipline and present a positive image to leave a good impression of our Qing University students on the board member.】
Lin Xuan was stunned.
Why would Su Hua come? She hated attending such ceremonies, didn’t she? Yet she was even coming to give a speech.
Was it for him?
It wasn’t narcissistic to think so—Su Hua might genuinely be coming for him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be acting so out of character.
The class erupted into chaos once again.
“Oh my god, the head of Su Corporation! I heard she’s only 24, decisive, and incredibly beautiful.”
“Damn, Su Corporation is the largest company in the country. Their employee benefits are top-notch. If I could get a job there, it’d be a blessing from eight lifetimes. I need to dress up properly after lunch today.”
“I’m going to dress up too. Maybe she’ll take a liking to me and make me her boyfriend—no, even being her lover would be fine!” a male student joked.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Being Su Hua’s man? That position was his, and no one else could take it!
“Yin Feng, don’t even think about it. She already has a boyfriend, and they’re deeply in love. Besides, with your looks, she wouldn’t even glance your way,” Lin Xuan said with a faint smirk.
“Damn it, Lin Xuan! You think she’d look at you?” Yin Feng wanted to retort but stopped mid-sentence as he stared at Lin Xuan’s handsome face.
Honestly, Lin Xuan was so good-looking now that it wasn’t impossible for the famous board member to take notice of him.
Yin Feng quickly changed his tone: “No way, she couldn’t have a boyfriend. I heard she’s completely uninterested in men. The media even reported that once, a guy tried to flirt with her, and she had security throw him out of the company! Someone like her would never fall for a man. At most, she’d see men as playthings.”
Lin Xuan fell silent. In his past life, he had also believed that Su Hua saw him as a plaything—until he witnessed her kissing his lifeless body and following him in death…
Qin Ruoyao didn’t know Su Hua, but hearing her name made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
She glanced at Lin Xuan.
She needed to find time to have a serious talk with him, to make sure he didn’t squander all the money he earned from his novel.
After the first class, the next one was physical education. Qing University’s PE class was different from other schools. While other schools allowed students to choose their sports based on interest and skill, Qing University lumped a hundred students together, letting them play whatever sport they wanted.
Lin Xuan was playing basketball with his classmates.
His striking looks, combined with his agility—dribbling, stealing the ball, jumping, and shooting—drew cheers and screams from the girls watching.
One male student felt particularly frustrated. Previously, the girls would cheer for him whenever he scored, but now, all their attention was focused on Lin Xuan. No matter how cool his moves were, the girls didn’t react at all.
Lin Xuan happened to dribble past him.
The guy: “…” Okay, Lin Xuan really was that good-looking.
Qin Ruoyao was also sitting on a bench, watching Lin Xuan play basketball. Her heart raced as she watched his athletic figure.
She had never realized how handsome Lin Xuan was!
The fact that so many people liked him, yet he remained devoted only to her, made her feel incredibly pleased.
A red Maserati drove into Qing University.
The principal, along with several professors and administrators, hurried over to greet the arrival.
“Ms. Su, why didn’t you inform us in advance of your visit? We wouldn’t want to appear negligent,” the principal said, bowing slightly.
“I’m just here to look around,” Su Hua replied indifferently. “Prepare a permanent residence for me. I’ll rest here at noon.”
“Yes, Ms. Su. I’ll arrange it immediately,” the principal responded respectfully.
The principal glanced at his assistant, who quickly went to make the arrangements, even purchasing furniture to furnish the place.
Su Hua walked to a classroom and frowned slightly as she looked inside at the empty space.
“Ms. Su, the computer science students were temporarily scheduled for a PE class today. They’re on the sports field. I’ll take you there,” the principal said, growing even more certain that Su Hua was here for Lin Xuan.
“Hmm,” Su Hua acknowledged before heading toward the sports field.
Su Hua remembered that Lin Xuan liked playing basketball, so she stopped in front of the basketball court. Her gaze swept across the faces of every player on the field, but she didn’t see Lin Xuan. Her brows furrowed tightly, and an aura of displeasure emanated from her.
“Go find out where Lin Xuan is,” the principal whispered to an assistant.
The basketball players suddenly felt as if they were being watched by someone with an overwhelming presence, making it hard for them to focus on their game.
“Thud—”
A basketball suddenly flew toward Su Hua. She noticed it but remained calm. Jiang Qing swiftly kicked the ball away before it could hit her.
At that moment, it felt as if the entire field had been paused.
Everyone was staring at the stunning woman standing at the edge of the field, shielded by a female secretary holding an umbrella.
The woman was cold and elegant, radiating an aura of pride and beauty that was almost divine. Her aloofness made her seem untouchable, yet her presence was captivating.
“Damn, she’s breathtaking. Who is she?”
“The principal was bowing to her, so she must be someone important. And her presence—it’s overwhelming. I almost wanted to kneel before her.”
“Her beauty even surpasses Qin Ruoyao’s. If I could be her boyfriend, I’d be over the moon.”
“Don’t even dream about it. She’d never look at you. But seriously, should I try to impress her?”
Lin Xuan splashed several handfuls of water on his face to cool down. After feeling refreshed, he walked out of the men’s restroom and headed back to the sports field in his basketball uniform. Suddenly, Qin Ruoyao appeared not far in front of him.
“Lin Xuan,” Qin Ruoyao said, lifting her chin arrogantly.
Lin Xuan frowned. What bad luck—why was he running into her again?
He tried to walk past her, but Qin Ruoyao blocked his path once more.
“What do you want?” Lin Xuan asked impatiently.
Su Hua and the principal had already arrived under a tree, not too far from Lin Xuan and Qin Ruoyao. Their conversation was perfectly audible to Su Hua.
The principal wiped his sweat. What a mess—Su Hua had just witnessed Lin Xuan with another woman. And from what he knew, Lin Xuan had a crush on Qin Ruoyao and had been her admirer for a long time.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
