Chapter 2058: Chapter 1447: Before the Battle (2)
"That’s right, Wen Zhuo, you said it well!"
A few students nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Su Yuan, observing from the side, slightly nodded his head as well.
Indeed, the outstanding students nurtured by Shuzhou College possessed such qualities and a sense of responsibility that even Su Yuan, who was about to face a great war, felt a bit relieved.
The future of a country lies in the youth of today.
Right now, Great Flame has these excellent students who care for the nation and the world, and it will only get better in the days to come!
Su Yuan’s nod caught the attention of several young people.
Actually, everyone had already noticed Su Yuan, who was alone by the side, though he appeared ordinary, there was an indescribable unique aura about him.
The orange-haired boy immediately greeted, "Hey there, are you here to watch the battle too? Are you alone?"
Su Yuan nodded and smiled, "Yes."
The orange-haired boy moved closer with a smile, "My name is Chen Boqi, a junior at Shuzhou College. Which college are you from?"
Su Yuan replied, "Demon Capital Academy, but I’ve already graduated."
"A graduate from Demon Capital Academy?"
Everyone was taken aback and began to look him up and down, greeting in unison, "Hello, Senior!"
They had assumed he was a student from one of Shuzhou’s nearby colleges, but he turned out to be a graduate of Demon Capital Academy!
Times have changed. Decades ago, Demon Capital Academy was at the bottom of the Three Capitals Academy.
But these years, the swiftly advancing Demon Capital Academy has surpassed Demon City Academy and seemed even to outpace Capitol City College, with a strong faculty and a gathering of geniuses.
Now the graduates of Demon Capital Academy are at least at Shining Star Level, even at middle-level and high-level!
Chen Boqi was surprised, "Since Senior is an expert from Demon Capital, why did you come to Shuzhou at such a time?"
Su Yuan said, "I’m here because of a task."
"Oh, that’s why..." They nodded in understanding.
The tall, high ponytail girl asked, "I wonder what Senior thinks of the war alert announcement this time?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan glanced at the glasses-wearing boy named Wen Zhuo and said, "I think what this student said is quite right... The world war is indeed the matter of everyone in the Blue Sea Realm.
There’s a saying, ’When the sky falls, tall people hold it up,’ but at least, those who aren’t tall should know there are people above holding it up for everyone.
This inspires more people to grow into the ’tall people,’ and replace those before them to uphold this sky."
His words brightened everyone’s eyes, and they nodded in unison.
Su Yuan continued, "The notification of the world war across the nation will inevitably bring chaos and resource consumption for a short time. But if we win this war, the meaning and future impact will be immeasurable, far exceeding the loss of some resources."
Wen Zhuo adjusted his glasses and respectfully bowed, "Wen Zhuo from Shuzhou College, may I know the name of Senior?"
Chen Boqi and his companions were surprised; it was the first time they saw Wen Zhuo, the rigid and arrogant genius of Shuzhou College, being so courteous after exchanging just a few words.
Su Yuan smiled, "My surname is Su."
Chen Boqi couldn’t help but ask, "Then, does Senior Su think we can win this war?"
Su Yuan slightly shook his head, "It depends on people, victory and defeat are difficult to say... Everything can only be known after the battle."
Seeing Su Yuan’s extraordinary insights, they all started engaging him in conversation.
At this moment, a black sedan suddenly sped over and stopped at the entrance of the Star Card Master Association.
Before the pretty female secretary, acting as a driver, could open the car door, a slightly overweight middle-aged man had already pushed open the door and walked quickly into the association.
Glancing up, the slightly overweight middle-aged man immediately spotted Su Yuan in the corner of the crowd, his eyes lighting up with joy. After a brief consideration, he intended to bow, "Yu..."
"It’s been a while... Senior Brother."
Su Yuan smiled faintly, a thought stirred, and a spatial ripple fell on the middle-aged man, stopping him from bowing.
Hearing the address, the middle-aged man looked at Su Yuan in front of him, feeling a bit relieved yet deeply nostalgic, "Junior Brother, it’s really been a long time!"
Indeed, this slightly overweight middle-aged man was none other than Su Yuan’s senior brother, Wang Haiping, the former education director of Guangchuan City.
Wang Haiping casually grabbed a chair from the side and squeezed in next to Su Yuan, "When our teacher said Junior Brother was here, I hurried over with good wine!"
The beautiful secretary who followed heard this, and with a flash of her ring, a jar of good wine appeared in front.
Su Yuan recognized the woman; she was still Wang Haiping’s pretty secretary from years ago. Nearly a hundred years had passed, yet she still accompanied Wang Haiping.
However, now it seemed their relationship was somewhat unusual~
Chen Boqi and the others curiously observed the slightly overweight Wang Haiping; as students of Shuzhou College, they had some insight and vaguely sensed the man’s unusual status.
Moreover...he appeared somewhat familiar?
After personally pouring Su Yuan a cup of wine, Wang Haiping looked at the nearby students and instructed, "Bring a few more cups, give these young friends some too!"
After a slight nod, the secretary brought out several cups.
"This... Uncle, we don’t need..."
Chen Boqi and the others waved their hands quickly, feeling that the uncle was overly polite.
"You’re senior students at Shuzhou College; what’s there to pretend as young boys?" Wang Haiping chuckled, "Come, come, come, let’s drink together, I won’t urge the two girls."
"This wine smells wonderful!" Said the high ponytail girl, folding her arms, "No need to worry, we’re no worse than them, Uncle, we want to drink too!"
"Ha, the little girl has some spirit!"
Wang Haiping chuckled and immediately filled the students’ cups, drinking together.
"Spiritual Wine?"
After drinking, the students’ expressions changed slightly, as they could clearly tell this was no ordinary wine.
This wine was Wang Haiping’s treasured spiritual wine; although it was nothing special to Su Yuan, for the students it was all beneficial and harmless!
"Director Wang, why have you come without notifying me?"
At this moment, the president of the Shu State Star Card Master Association, Li Yicheng, hurried out from inside, staring at Wang Haiping in surprise.
"Director Wang?"
Upon hearing this, many people in the association looked over, while Chen Boqi and his companions were even more shocked.
Li Yicheng, the president of the Shu State Star Card Master Association, is a genuine Burning Sun expert, and he addressed the man as "Director" with such respect... and his surname is Wang...
"This seems to be Director Wang Haiping of the Education Bureau? I thought he looked familiar!"
"I thought he looked a bit familiar, indeed he is Director Wang from our Shu State Education Bureau’s office!"
"This Director Wang, instead of overseeing the Education Bureau, why is he here at the Star Card Master Association?"
With Li Yicheng’s recognition, someone in the crowd identified Wang Haiping, and several gasped in surprise; he was indeed the director of the Shu State Education Bureau’s office!
His status is second only to the education director and deputies, but in terms of relationships, resource allocation, etc., he exceeds those, being an undoubtedly prominent figure in Shu State.
The Star Card Master Association is a semi-governmental, semi-civilian organization, and in terms of real power, it’s naturally inferior to Wang Haiping.
Chen Boqi and others also realized why he seemed somewhat familiar; he frequently appeared on television and the internet and even served as a guest speaker at Shuzhou College last year!
For a moment, including the two girls, several students were dumbfounded, unable to believe they were sitting drinking with such a figure? Moreover, he personally poured wine for them??
"Director, Director Wang!..." Several were startled, stood up quickly.
"Sit, sit, sit, we’re all sitting together! We’re not at school, just have a casual chat." Wang Haiping stood up too, inviting the young ones to sit, then looked at Li Yicheng, "President Li, I’m here to see my junior, so I won’t chat with you now~"
"Junior?"
Li Yicheng’s gaze fell on Su Yuan as he connected the dots between Wang Haiping’s rise and some rumors, and he seemed to recall something.
But as Su Yuan raised his hand, Li Yicheng’s thoughts were suddenly blocked, leaving him dazed, unable to remember anything.
Meanwhile, Chen Boqi and others turned their eyes toward Su Yuan as well, realizing this Demon Capital graduate, Senior Su, was Director Wang Haiping’s junior brother?
Furthermore, even more incredible was that Director Wang seemed downright... accommodating towards this junior brother?
