Old Master Ye Goes Fishing, Three Inches Above Water; Sister Lin Soars into the Sky; The Socialite Young Lady from the Underworld

Dahai City Noble Academy.

At the entrance.

Many sophomore and junior students had ended their holidays and came to register for the new semester.

Although they were all wealthy young ladies and young masters from rich families, these identities completely disappeared once they entered the school, instantly reverting them back to the form of "ordinary folks," honestly acting as "student mules" on campus.

Every single one of them looked like their horse had died, as if they would never smile again.

Near an inconspicuous flowerbed at the school gate, a large cluster of "no longer happy" young masters and misses were sprawled out, all wearing miserable expressions as they scribbled furiously.

"Hey, dammit, who was it, who stole my holiday!!!"

"By the way, have you finished your homework? Let me copy it. I spent the whole night catching up and still haven't finished..."

"Homework? Why write that stuff? Even if you don't write it, it's just a matter of standing outside for two class periods, heh, so spineless."

"But I heard that the president of the student council this term is the eldest miss of the Dongfang family..."

"So what if it's the eldest miss of the Dongfang family? Even if someone's unlucky, it's the freshmen. We're juniors, hahaha, could the sword of the previous dynasty behead the officials of the current one?"

"Is there a possibility that an announcement was sent in the group chat saying the student council president will personally spot-check our homework, randomly picking ten students' homework from each class to inspect, and those who haven't done it will have their parents called, receive a penalty, and get a major demerit..."

"..."

"Dad, um... whose homework can I copy? By the way, is it too late for me to go home and get my homework now?"

Everyone: "..."

Smiles do not appear or disappear out of thin air; they only transfer from one person's face to another's. Those who were just watching the fun and hoping for a bigger scene suddenly put on a deadpan expression, their pain masks welded onto their faces, scribbling furiously, wishing they had two more hands to copy with.

Since they were checking homework, they naturally had their own specialized countermeasure system to prevent these rich young masters and misses from having others write for them or cheat. Therefore, those selected would be required to go over in person to prove the homework was written by themselves by checking the handwriting.

If it didn't match... they would suffer terribly!

They could only write it themselves. As the saying goes, as virtue rises one foot, vice rises ten. This principle applies at all times.

The pitiful previous student council president had only sat in the position for a short time before being forcefully "deposed" due to the arrival of Dongfang Zhixia.

One can only say that every generation has its own bad luck. It was said that the seniors from many years ago were the truly unlucky ones... It seemed to be exactly their parents' generation, who happened to encounter the "Descent of the Demon Child," who also arrived in such a posture, forcefully causing the original student council president to be "deposed." After becoming the student council president, everyone in the school was equally elbowed.

Even a passing dog would get slapped twice. Fortunately, the person didn't study for long before going home, seemingly feeling that school was boring...

According to their parents: "Be content. Did we have the conditions you have now back then?"

Their tone carried a hint of surviving a catastrophe.

People cannot describe things they haven't seen. After witnessing the domineering nature of Dongfang Zhixia in the younger generation and the "massive pressure" on their sons or daughters, they could still say such things.

This was enough to show how terrifying the "Demon Child" student council president of that time was. Even after more than a decade had passed, and they had married, started families, and become bosses worth tens or even hundreds of millions, they still had lingering fears.

They deeply knew that their so-called net worth of tens or hundreds of millions was just a threshold to meet that person. The endpoint of their entire lives, the result of a lifetime of exhaustive effort, could only allow them to peek at that person's starting point from afar.

They didn't even dare to have the thought of catching up; the gap was too wide...

Just as a group of young masters and misses, due to the president's requirement to spot-check homework, were sprawled on the flowerbed at the school gate scribbling furiously like elementary school students.

Not far away.

A grand fleet of luxurious black cars appeared from the end of the road, parking in an incredibly neat row at the entrance. Click, in perfect unison, all the car doors opened.

For a moment, the gazes of everyone at the school gate gathered over.

"Holy shit, what idiot is putting on such a big show? They'll be put in their place once the student council gets on their case."

"Wow, talk about a newborn calf unafraid of tigers. Damn, quite the grand entrance. Do they really think they're the young master of the Shen family!"

"Xia? Do we have anyone with that surname in Dahai City?"

"I don't know. Looks like some nouveau riche from who knows where. Let's wait for the show. They'll be put in their place once they get yelled at..."

"Damn it, are you guys done copying yet? Hurry up and give it to me, I haven't written a single word yet, fuck!!!"

"Here they come, here they come. Look, the student council members on duty are walking over. Watch this guy get chewed out!"

A large group of young masters and misses craned their necks, stopping what they were doing, choosing to watch the fun. Homework could be made up later, but once the drama was gone, it was really gone.

No matter the time or setting, onlookers eating melons will never be absent.

Only one person, seeing everyone else go to watch the drama, seized the opportunity and started scribbling furiously, wishing he could grow two more hands right then to copy... Stupid hands, copy faster!!!

True talents know how to seize opportunities at any given moment.

The person sprawled here copying homework was the youngest son of the Chief of the Dahai City Public Security Bureau... Wang Defa.

The chief had two sons in total. The eldest was quite capable, pursuing advanced studies in Dajing City. Barring any accidents, he would follow the same old path as his father in the future.

To follow the old path, one inevitably needed to study in Dajing City; anywhere else fell a bit short.

Originally, the youngest son was also planned to be trained this way and sent to Dajing City to study. But... the youngest son didn't live up to expectations. Fortunately, he wasn't a spendthrift, just a bit abstract, much like his name.

His original name was actually Wang De. He added the character "Fa" (wealth/prosperity) himself later, claiming that he would definitely get rich, very rich, in the future.

If he wasn't afraid of being too radical, Wang Defa would have wanted to directly change his name to Wang Facai (Wang Gets Rich). How stylish... Getting rich, getting rich.

Unfortunately, it was unclear whether he would get rich now, but if he didn't finish his homework and his parents were called, he would probably get a "ten consecutive draw" of beatings... Fuck, stupid hands, write faster!!!

The miserable Wang Defa was scribbling furiously here, while the other students were watching the drama there. Wasn't this also a kind of perseverance?

The camera zoomed out.

Not far away, the student council members on duty at the school gate today walked towards the motorcade where Xia Tongxin was.

"Hello, student, parking is not allowed here. Also, this school rejects extravagance, waste, and the unhealthy trend of luxury. Please step out of the car and cooperate..."

A female student council member, holding a notebook for recording things, walked up to a black vehicle directly opposite with the logo "Xia" and gently knocked on the car door.

Aren't the ones in the academy all rich young masters and wealthy young ladies?

If everyone acts so high and mighty, what will the school turn into?

Except for a few very special cases that don't need to be reported, such as the Dongfang family's motorcade, or the Shen family's motorcade... anyone else who makes such a grand entrance needs to report it in advance.

At most, it cannot exceed three cars. A massive, seemingly endless convoy like Xia Tongxin's right now is obviously not allowed.

When Lin Baizhi came to the school before, the number of vehicles was exactly three. A smart person like Lin Baizhi would absolutely not cause trouble for herself for no reason.

Challenging the school rules could be seen as a big deal or a small one, but it's an unnecessary hassle either way. Lin Baizhi would absolutely avoid such unnecessary trouble. Of course, there is one exception...

Ye Taigong fishing, three inches above the water, Sister Lin leaping into the air, taking the bait and following him home... Yes, exactly, a one-click follow.

Unless Ye Cheng was placed right in front of her, Lin Baizhi would absolutely not waste time and energy doing anything to break the rules. Her current strength wasn't enough to challenge and break the rules; doing so for no reason would only bring her trouble.

But if Ye Cheng was placed there, it would be completely different. In Lin Baizhi's eyes, he automatically became... the prize "Ye Cheng."

Lin Baizhi IQ +999...

Lin Baizhi competitiveness +999...

Lin Baizhi greed +999...

Lin Baizhi...

Every hit is a critical strike, Officer!

"Click."

The car door opened. The head maid parked, turned off the engine, got out of the car, and handed the previously approved application documents and the principal's handwritten approval letter to the female student council member conducting the inspection.

"We have reported this in advance. Here are the application documents and the approval from your principal, Niu Fen..."

The head maid was logically rigorous, listing all the necessary items one by one and presenting them to the girl, while also carefully explaining them. The girl in front of her was stunned, seemingly encountering this situation for the first time.

There had never been such a precedent before. Apart from the regular show at the beginning of each school year, where one or two foolish young masters or ladies would put on a huge display and then get disciplined, the rest of the time was very quiet.

No one would actually go through so much trouble just to apply for documents and approval for a welcoming convoy... until Xia Tongxin appeared.

There really was someone who went to such great lengths to get approval just for the sake of a grand entrance!

The girl was dumbfounded; she had just run into the very first case of this in the school's long history.

"Alright, please wait a moment, I will verify this on my end." The girl handed a form to the head maid.

"Please fill this out."

"Okay."

The girl hurriedly went to communicate with her student council peers, while the head maid stood aside, expressionlessly filling out the campus entry personnel review form in front of her...

"Is it not done yet? Why can't we just drive straight in? These people are so annoying..."

An incredibly cute loli voice came from the back seat of the car. The rear window slowly rolled down, and the pink-haired Xia Tongxin leaned against the car window, pouting unhappily, her cheeks puffed out as if she had stuffed two sweet dumplings in them.

So annoying.

"Miss, it will be done shortly. Please wait a moment. You can drink your lunch milk first to fill your stomach..." The head maid began to arrange what Xia Tongxin needed to do next.

To put it nicely, she was a well-protected, innocent young lady; to put it harshly, she was a giant baby of a young lady from who-knows-where.

People who weren't familiar with her would subconsciously feel repulsed at first sight.

Only after truly interacting with her would one realize that this pink-haired little thing was all bark and no bite. Aside from her bratty attributes, she was essentially just a very cute adult "little kid."

A "little kid" who had truly never been polluted by the giant dye vat of society.

Her temper was naturally a bit willful, but she wasn't unreasonable; she just had a tough mouth...

"Oh, okay... Wait, no way!" Xia Tongxin nodded, then realized something and flew into a rage out of humiliation. Her stubborn temper flared up instantly. Why should she do whatever she was told? She absolutely wouldn't!

She was a bad girl!

"Click!" With a sound, Xia Tongxin jumped out of the car. Today, she was still sporting her bad girl "cyberpunk" style: pink hair, leather jacket, shorts, very tall shoes, various metal pendants, and ear cuffs...

It looked like a strong clash of styles, but because she was so exquisitely pretty, it didn't seem too out of place and actually looked quite natural.

"I'm really pissed off right now!" Xia Tongxin said as she pulled a pack of cigarettes from her pocket. It was pink, with cartoon characters printed on the outside.

She shook the cigarette box a couple of times, took out a slender cigarette, and put it in her mouth. The head maid beside her instantly understood and hurriedly took out a lighter to light it for her young miss.

This lighter... was given to her by Xia Tongxin in advance. She said that having someone light her cigarette for her would look really cool. Although the head maid found it hard to understand, she chose to respect her young lady's wishes.

The cigarette was lit, and a smell of "fake cigarette" wafted out. If there were any heavy smokers around, they would immediately recognize that Xia Tongxin was smoking a "fake cigarette." There was no other reason... the nicotine content was so low it was almost negligible.

Wasn't it just a fake cigarette?

But to the pink-haired bratty young miss, this was a real cigarette. She had been smoking it since she was young; smoking anything else would hurt her throat... Simply put, she couldn't handle it and would collapse after one puff.

This "gangster" look left the group of young masters and ladies who were catching up on their homework next to them completely dumbfounded.

"Damn, smoking at the school gate, so badass?"

"Holy crap, could this person be the principal's illegitimate daughter?"

"Her connections aren't that weak."

"Could she be the illegitimate daughter of the police chief?"

Someone blurted this out, and everyone stopped, looked at each other, and then turned to look behind them.

Wang Defa was scribbling furiously back there... The real son of the police chief was right here, still miserably catching up on his homework.

"Why are you all looking at me?" In the midst of his busy scribbling, Wang Defa wiped the sweat from his forehead, noticed everyone around him staring, and asked in confusion.

Everyone: "..."
