Chapter 207 - 207: The Carrot and the Stick



Hearing that voice, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo’s bodies instantly stiffened. They slowly turned around like machines and saw a sinister-looking middle-aged man standing behind them with his hands in his pockets. It was the Yuheng Academy’s Academy Head, Huang Tingwei!

“A-Academy Head!”

Wang Xiao squeezed out an ugly smile. ‘Why are you here?”

This was a question that came from the bottom of Wang Xiao’s heart. This was because although he usually did not interact much with Huang Tingwei, he knew that this Academy Head was a workaholic. The other party usually wished he could stay in the academy. Why was he wandering outside today?

Moreover, in order to remove her [Disguise], Zhou Xiruo had checked if there was anyone around just a second ago. However, even the nearest hiding place was ten meters away. How did Huang Tingwei appear silently?

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Tingwei ignored Wang Xiao and hooked his finger at Zhou Xiruo with a dark expression.

Zhou Xiruo was at a loss and did not know what he meant. Huang Tingwei sighed and said helplessly, “Let me see your item.”

Zhou Xiruo reacted and hurriedly handed over the [Nirvana Mask]. At the same time, she added, “Academy Head, this is Wang Xiao’s item. I’m just borrowing it.”

Huang Tingwei took the mask and did not say anything. After sizing it up for a while, he looked at Wang Xiao. “This item should have been orange quality, right? Where did it come from?”

“I bought it.”

Wang Xiao replied calmly, “Academy Head, your eyesight is really good. This was originally an orange item, but for some reason, it was lowered, so I bought it very cheaply.”

Huang Tingwei nodded. “Not bad. You have some luck!”

Hearing this, Wang Xiao vaguely felt that the other party seemed to have another meaning. However, before he could think carefully, Huang Tingwei handed the mask back. “Are the two of you alright later?”

Before Wang Xiao could speak after taking the mask, Huang Tingwei continued, “If there’s nothing else, follow me back to the academy. I have something to tell you.”

With that said, Huang Tingwei walked to the front. Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other and could only follow obediently.

The three of them walked towards Yuheng Academy. The more they walked, the more uncertain Wang Xiao became.

It was mainly because this Academy Head’s personality was really unpredictable. Moreover, the two of them had secretly participated in the spar outside the school behind the academy’s back. Although it could be said to be a part of their “outing to train”, who knew if Huang Tingwei would blame them?

There were a few times when Wang Xiao wanted to discuss it with Zhou Xiruo, but it was as if Huang Tingwei had eyes at the back of his head. When two of them slowed down and wanted to increase the distance between them, the other party also slowed down and maintained a distance of about three steps in front of them.

From this, it could be seen that Huang Tingwei was wary of the two of them. At the same time, it made Wang Xiao even more uncertain.

Fortunately, the distance between the two academies was not too far. This torture did not last long.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Yuheng Academy. Huang Tingwei stood still and turned to look at Wang Xiao. “Go to the Academy Head’s office first. I’ll be right there.”

“Okay.”

Wang Xiao agreed and arrived at the Academy Head’s office with Zhou Xiruo.

Without Huang Tingwei following beside them, the two of them finally relaxed.

After taking a deep breath, Zhou Xiruo looked at Wang Xiao and asked softly, “Why do you think the Academy Head is looking for us?”

“How would I know?”

Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and frowned for a long time, but he still had no clue.

At this moment, the office door suddenly opened and Huang Tingwei walked in with a suitcase.

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo hurriedly stood at attention. “Hello, Academy

Head!”

“Alright, feel free to sit.”

Huang Tingwei waved his hand and sat in his seat. With a click, he opened the lock of the suitcase.

Wang Xiao was shocked. He wanted to see what was in the box, but Huang

Tingwei only pushed open the lock and had no intention of opening the box. “The two of you have really made me proud!”

Huang Tingwei looked at the two of them and smiled sinisterly. “The buoyancy of the iceberg—to think you can think of such a thing!”

“Academy Head, you taught me well!”

Wang Xiao subconsciously flattered him. After saying that, he realized that something was wrong. “Ice… Iceberg? What iceberg?”

“Are you pretending?”

Huang Tingwei looked at Wang Xiao with a faint smile and slowly said word by word, “[Star Fragmented Sea], [Sea God Apostle], [World Destruction Flood], Iceberg Escape… How is it? Does that remind you of anything?”

“Gulp!”

Wang Xiao swallowed hard and smiled dryly with a stiff expression. “So you already know?”

“I’m not the only one who knows. The people from the Nine Heavens Academy also know.”

Huang Tingwei’s expression darkened, and his calm tone was like the precursor of a storm. “Do you know why the Nine Heavens Academy is looking for outside help in this internal selection?”

Hearing Huang Tingwei’s tone, Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment and did not dare to speak. Zhou Xiruo, who was at the side, replied weakly, “We heard that it’s because the Nine Heavens Academy thinks that connections are also a part of strength..

“Do you believe it?”

Huang Tingwei continued to ask, his tone clearly a little aggressive. Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat as he probed, “We don’t?”

“Then why did you still decide to go?!”

Huang Tingwei slammed the table with a bang, and the suitcase was sent flying. “The academy’s ranking assessment is imminent. The Nine Heavens Academy is using this opportunity to inquire about the strength of the other academies! You’re so smart, but you actually didn’t notice?”

Wang Xiao’s expression changed. At that time, his attention was all on the [Breakthrough Stone] and he had really not thought in this direction. Without any hesitation, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo said in unison, “Academy

Head, we were wrong…”

“What’s the use of admitting your mistake? Your strength has already been seen by the Nine Heavens Academy!”

Huang Tingwei scolded angrily, then chuckled. “But fortunately, you didn’t notice. That’s why I could see Old Jiang’s embarrassed expression… It’s really interesting!”

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other. They did not know what the Academy Head was up to again, so they wisely chose not to speak.

Huang Tingwei smiled to himself for a while and finally opened the suitcase. He took out three cards emitting a purple light and placed them on the table. “Take them! These are your rewards!”

Wang Xiao looked down and discovered that there were three purple quality ice attribute [Venue Cards]. His expression immediately became strange. “Academy Head, I don’t understand. We clearly made a mistake.. Why are there still rewards?”

“These are different matters”

As Huang Tingwei spoke, he pointed at the three [Venue Cards]. “These are your rewards for saving people. One for you, one for Little Zhou, and one for that kid from the Nine Heavens Academy—you don’t think they’re specially for you, do you?”

An awkward expression flashed across Wang Xiao’s face. He hurriedly went forward and put away the [Venue Cards]. “Thank you, Academy Head. At the same time, I’ll thank you on behalf of Li Kaifu.”

“What are you thanking me for! This is what you deserve!”

Huang Tingwei laughed and waved his hand. In the next second, he suddenly stopped smiling.. “Alright, now that I’ve given you the carrot, it’s time for the stick!”
