“Sheng Tian Academy?” To Wu Lang, who lived at the very bottom of Linhai City, this elite school—which had cultivated countless celebrities, nobles, high-ranking officials, and wealthy merchants—was merely four Chinese characters with no practical meaning.

“That’s right.” Shao Xuanbang quickly handed over his business card and spoke with excitement, praising the school: “Not only is our school’s teaching quality first-rate, but even the cafeteria has famous foreign chefs personally in charge of the cooking.”

“Cafeteria?”

Seeing that Wu Lang finally showed interest, Shao Xuanbang continued to extend his olive branch: “And, faculty and staff can eat for free in the cafeteria, you know.”

“Free…” Wu Lang’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. An extremely strange equation flashed through her mind: New Job = Free food + Master Chef’s cooking! Although she only needed to consume a certain amount of calories per meal to sustain her daily activities, this was a reasonable temptation for someone with a large appetite who enjoyed gourmet food.

“Girl, you can go directly to the Faculty Office tomorrow and ask for Director Liu Xing. I’ll make arrangements with her beforehand,” Shao Xuanbang decided for Wu Lang. At an angle the driver in the front seat couldn’t see, he handed her an amulet inscribed with the characters for ‘Peace’ (Ping An). “I requested this at Guanghua Temple. Since you saved my life, I will give it to you, hoping it will bless you with a safe life.”

“Sorry, I am an atheist.”

Ahem—

Even an old man like Shao Xuanbang, who was over fifty, found it a bit overwhelming to be met with several gentle rejections in a row. But since he was ‘asking for a favor,’ he patiently and gently persuaded her: “This is just a small gesture from me. Even if you don’t believe in those things, wearing it for good luck is still a good thing, isn’t it?”

Perhaps having his ear nagged annoyed her, as Wu Lang actually took the peace amulet and tucked it into her pocket.

Soon after, the taxi stopped in front of a classical villa. There was an imposing and majestic wooden gate, a wall covered in vines, and pavilions exuding a strong Chinese charm.

Shao Xuanbang got out of the car to ring the doorbell, while Wu Lang carried the BMW driver, who had been knocked unconscious by the airbag, to the open space in front of the gate. People inside the villa quickly came out. Leading them was an elderly man with white hair but a surprisingly sturdy physique. He rushed forward, taking large strides, and asked anxiously, “Xuanbang, are you alright?”

“I’m fine! I made it back, didn’t I?”

“It’s all because of that unfilial grandson of mine; he’s completely unreliable. When he finally comes back, I’ll have to give him a good thrashing!”

“Kids are naturally playful,” Shao Xuanbang, fully aware of his old friend’s volatile temper, smiled and changed the subject: “By the way, let me introduce you to someone. This girl not only saved me, but she’s also very skilled. From what I observed, she may not be any worse than your Wen Ji!”

“Oh, someone who can stand up to Wen Ji? Then I must meet her.” But when the two turned to look, they only saw the red taillights of the taxi gradually disappearing into the hazy night.

“Never mind, there will be plenty of opportunities later anyway.” Shao Xuanbang, having experienced Wu Lang’s unique style of action, sighed, patted his old friend’s shoulder, and said with an unusually serious expression: “Geng Tian, there’s something I need to tell you…”

Inside the taxi, Wu Lang was propping her chin on one hand, idly enjoying the scenery along the street. Suddenly, a distinct, tall figure caught her eye.
