Jealous?
“It’s nothing, I just wanted to tell you that I’m about to breakthrough into Earth class early phase peak, but it seems like this isn’t good news anymore” Dansen sighed. “Has House Yu enjoyed power for too long?”
“Congratulations then, brother…” Shuixing smiled sadly, no mood for celebration. This piece of good news didn’t help his sorrow at all.
“Alright, goodbye. The time for training is nearing.” Dansen said.
“Alright, brother! Call back when you have time!” Shuixing said.
After hanging up, Shuixing called Yu Feng to his study, the only one nowadays who could participate in family discussions! Yu Kun was still in bed, very depressed. He was evidently crippled beyond recovery, and other than sighing all day, he cried in front of his father’s funeral picture. He felt guilty.
“You called, father?” Yu Feng asked carefully as he pushed open the door.
“Yes, your uncle called…” Shuixing said as he looked at his son. “He’s about to break through into Earth class early phase peak… It’s good news, but compared to the situation our house is in, not so much…”
“That’s true—if we were in our usual state, we’d be celebrating this!” Yu Feng sighed. “Father, then what did uncle say about my third uncle?”
“He hasn’t yet found a stable position in the hidden Hosue Yu, so we can’t expect help from them, nor can he exit to the common world without reason!” Shuixing said. “But his suggestion was for us to fully investigate Lin Yi first, see what powers are backing him up!”
“So father wishes to follow our previous plan, and let me go to Songshan?” Yu Feng said.
“Yes, that’s indeed it.” Shuixing nodded. “This time, you won’t go to Songshan using the name Yu. Lin Yi’s never seen you before, so he wouldn’t suspect you. Change your name and enter his school, and investigate him from there.”
“I understand! I can’t have direct conflict with Lin Yi as well, right?” Yu Feng asked after nodding.
“That’s not necessarily the case. According to the information I have, Lin Yi treats different types of people with different attitudes!” Shuixing said as he opened the files and pushed them to his son. “Look at his classmates—he’s never done anything too extreme to them!”
Yu Feng looked at the files—it was very detailed. Lin Yi never did anything horrible to his classmates, and would only give them light punishments even if they pissed him off…
“With this in mind, I don’t need to worry too much…” Yu Feng said after finishing. “Plus, even if we’re talking about strength, I’ll still be able to beat him with my Mystic class early phase peak status!”
“Feng! Remember this—you can’t expose your strength carelessly!” Shuixing said with a wave of his hand. “The identity I’ve prepared for you when you transfer is that of a rich kid! You can have a conflict with him, but only in school, as a classmate. Even if you want to do anything, do it from the shadows and don’t do it directly! Understand?”
“I understand!” Yu Feng nodded. “As long as I don’t get into a fight with him, it’ll be fine! I won’t let him know that I’m a practitioner, and I won’t expose my identity as a Yu—I’ll collect information from the side!”
“Good!” Shuixing nodded. “Alright, you go get prepared—I’ll deal with the application forms…”
Lin Yi turned around—their homeroom teacher Ms. Liu had entered the room.
The class quieted down instantly. Grade twelve students, after all, were all pretty self-aware. The teacher coming meant that class would begin, and the students who were here for night study were all people who wanted to study.
But the teacher wasn’t alone—beside her was an extremely handsome boy! Behind him were two more boys, not as attractive. One was short and fat, like a pot, and the other was tall and skinny, like a bamboo. These two were reminiscent of that fat and skinny duo from that one Wuxia show.
The handsome guy entering the classroom attracted an audible murmur from the girls. After all, girls this age were more or less interested in these things—they reacted naturally to handsome people.
This boy’s good looks were a completely different type from Lin Yi. Lin Yi was more of a manly type of cool, while this boy could only be described as elegant.
“Quiet down, class! Let me introduce our new students!” Ms. Liu said as she brought the boy to the platform. “These three are our transfer students, Xie Yufeng, Li Panghu, and Wang Congming. They transferred from Nanqing! Mister Xie, please introduce yourselves!”
Boys like Xie Yufeng were very popular with the girls, and as far as first appearances go, it’d be a lot more impactful compared to Lin Yi. A huge wave of applause sounded for him!
Yufeng elegantly tidied up his hair as he made a gesture to quiet down the crowd before smiling softly at his classmates.
The Xie Yufeng before had sexy lips, a high nose, and strong eyebrows. His eyes were full of lashes, and his irises were a bottomless black, reflecting light in a brilliant shine. This sort of elegant beauty was a killer for young girls!
“Hello, fellow classmates! My name is Xie Yufeng, and I come from the south’s coastal city Nanqing! Because of my family’s business, I’ve been transferred to Songshan High! I hope we can become good friends. Thank you!” Yufeng said elegantly. “My hobbies are wide—I’m good at basketball, football, singing…”
“This guy’s so handsome!” Xiaoxiao couldn’t help herself but exclaim when she saw the boy.
“Really? That’s great—you go sit with him later then.” Lin Yi smiled.
“What, you’re jealous?” Xiaoxiao said as she turned to him happily. “You’re jealous of him?”
