158: Afternoon Tea with the Principal! Lu Mingfei's Family Letter! Expectations for a Simp!
Lin Chen's vacation did not last long.
On the third day, Professor Manstein called Lin Chen's cell phone, telling him to return to school as soon as possible.
At the same time, the Executive Department also issued a new mission notice to Aki Shuto, and Aki was required to return to the Executive Department to report.
Therefore, Lin Chen and the Jiu De sisters had no choice but to fly back to Chicago and part ways near the train station.
Mai went to find Su Enxi, while Lin Chen and Aki returned to the academy.
The semester was drawing to a close, and Lin Chen missed the final exams because of the Bronze Project.
However, compared to slaughtering a first-generation species, this is nothing at all.
Lin Chen had barely stepped into the academy and hadn't even had time to go back to his dormitory when Norma's email arrived on his phone.
The message above was from the principal, inviting Lin Chen to the principal's office for afternoon tea.
Lin Chen arrived at the two-story building behind the Hall of Heroes. The dense foliage concealed the building, making it inconspicuous.
Lin Chen walked into the building with ease and looked up to see the warm sunlight streaming in through the skylight.
The bookshelves around the room are filled with a wide variety of books, and the office is furnished with a large desk.
Lin Chen sat opposite Principal Angers, who pushed a white bone china cup toward him.
"This is Darjeeling No. 2 black tea, it tastes very good. I also gave you some rose tarts, you should like them!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly: "I trust the principal's taste. What you like is definitely good! I can already smell the rich aroma of the black tea."
Angers nodded in satisfaction: "No one can compare to me when it comes to appreciating black tea, but you are a special case. You can sit here with me and drink tea in peace, and you can also drink vodka with the vice principal. Before I met you, I always thought you were two completely different people."
"I'm young, so I like to try new things. Black tea is delicious, vodka is good too, and lately, the vice principal has been liking Martinis!"
"Yes, the world ultimately belongs to you young people. It sounds like you're implying that I'm old."
"How could that be?" Lin Chen said. "You even prepared a set of cups, and there are guests?"
Ang nodded: "There's another child, they should be arriving soon!"
There was a knock on the door, followed by Lu Mingfei's timid greeting.
"Is Principal Angers here? May I come in?"
Principal Angers said, "Please come in."
Lu Mingfei cautiously pushed open the door, her face tense with a mixture of surprise and delight.
As a student of Kassel College, having afternoon tea with the principal is a greater honor than receiving a scholarship.
This was the first time Lu Mingfei had received such an honor, so she appeared very nervous.
Fortunately, Lu Mingfei saw Lin Chen's figure and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Hello, Principal. Senior Lin Chen is here too."
He sat down next to Lin Chen, and Angers handed him some black tea.
"Thank you, Principal!" Lu Mingfei quickly said.
Angers pulled two envelopes from the drawer; inside were Lin Chen's and Lu Mingfei's report cards.
"Because you participated in Project Bronze, you missed the academy's Dimo exam. However, this was considered an internship activity for the Executive Department, and you completed the task exceptionally well. Therefore, you received a perfect score, and your GPA is 4.0!"
"Wow! Thank you, Principal!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed excitedly.
Lin Chen calmly accepted the envelope. For him, getting a perfect score was nothing out of the ordinary.
Angers rested his arms on the desk: "The mission is complete. If you have any questions, you can ask me now!"
Lu Ming thought for a moment: "The Dragon King is clearly such a noble species, so why does it look like a human?"
“Slaying dragons sounds like a very impressive thing, but everything about dragons cannot be described by common sense. Their world is completely different from ours. Their appearance in the world in a human way is probably a kind of travel,” Angers said. “Are you referring to Old Tang?”
Lu Mingfei nodded emphatically.
Angers took out a photograph, and the person in the picture was Old Tang.
Angers explained: "Old Tang, Ronald Tang, this guy is an orphan who makes money by doing tasks on the Hunter website. That's how you can find his information."
"Actually, he has always been the Dragon King. He migrated from the land purchase case in Northern Europe a long time ago. In ancient China, he even used the alias Li Xiong and became an important minister of Gongsun Shu."
"But later, Emperor Liu Xiu defeated him with the help of a mixed-race family, and he completed his cocoon transformation before his death."
"Perhaps many years ago, my brother Norton left the egg, received new memories, wandered to the United States, acquired the identity of Old Tang, and thought he was human."
“But we recovered Norton’s brother Constantine from the Yangtze River, which awakened Norton’s memories.”
"So we devised the Bronze Plan, which ultimately led to the slaughter of the Dragon King!"
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a long time before raising her hand in surprise.
"Principal, isn't the Dragon King immortal? Will it be able to revive in the future?"
Angers thought for a moment: "Normally not. High-level dragons need to prepare eggs and cocoon before they have a chance to hatch again, but this time is different. He was killed by Lin Chen as soon as he woke up and did not have the chance to cocoon."
Lu Mingfei remained silent for a while.
Although it was the Dragon King who died, Old Tang was still a living, breathing human being.
Angers stared at Lu Mingfei's face, seemingly trying to discern something from it.
Lin Chen, on the other hand, sipped his black tea slowly the whole time.
Angers is right, his black tea is indeed excellent.
But Angers also said something wrong.
Although Old Tang is dead, he still has a chance to be resurrected.
Because Lin Chen controls his soul, as long as Lin Chen is there, Old Tang has a chance to be resurrected.
The same applies to the King of Bronze and Fire!
Angers reached into the drawer and took out another envelope.
Lin Chen looked over and said, "Principal, are you Doraemon? Your drawer is like its pocket, always producing new things."
Angers was both amused and exasperated: "It's a great analogy, but there aren't many people who dare to joke like that in front of me anymore."
He handed the letter to Lu Mingfei: "This is a letter from your family. The place of origin is unknown, but the recipient is you."
The envelope had no stamp, only a red sealing wax seal.
“The principal of Angers forwarded this to Lu Mingfei (received).”
Lu Mingfei nervously took the letter and stared at it carefully.
Lin Chen glanced at it briefly; they were all ordinary words, but the last sentence struck him as somewhat interesting.
That was Lu Mingfei's father's idea. He said that Lu Mingfei was of marriageable age and her parents would support her in finding a partner.
Lin Chen shrugged and turned back to continue drinking his black tea.
It just goes to show how much parents love their children; Lu Mingfei's parents really overestimated their child.
Lu Mingfei didn't avoid dating because he wasn't old enough; it was simply because he lacked the ability to do so.
How can someone who is dedicated to being a simp and having a crush have the ability to genuinely fall in love?
Lu Mingfei put the letter away, and Angers patted him on the shoulder: "Someone has been watching you."
"Yes, I understand!" Lu Mingfei sniffed.
“Go!” said Angers.
Lu Mingfei got up to take her leave.
Angers watched Lu Mingfei leave the office, even glancing at him through the window for a while.
When he turned around, Lin Chen's cup of black tea was empty, and he refilled it for himself.
"Principal, please restrain yourself," Lin Chen said. "Some people in the academy are already suspecting that Lu Mingfei is your illegitimate child!"
159: Respect for Angers! New recruitment task!
Angers' hand froze in mid-air, then he sighed helplessly.
"This is not a funny joke."
Lin Chen shrugged: "You know what that means."
Angers picked up his teacup: "I can completely understand the rumors circulating in the academy. After all, I have never taken such good care of anyone before Lu Mingfei."
“That’s secondary,” Lin Chen said. “If Lu Mingfei really had the ability, that would be one thing, but he’s just like a little prince in the palace. He’s not outstanding among the other princes, but he always gets the Emperor’s favor.”
Angers looked into Lin Chen's eyes: "You also think Lu Mingfei is no good?"
“I’ve never said that,” Lin Chen said. “I’ve always said he has great potential.”
"Great potential is not a good thing. It implies that Lu Mingfei is not good now, so she has more room for development compared to others!"
Lin Chen countered, "Isn't that right?"
