Chapter 334: Principal An's True Colors
"Principal An?"
Lin Ye heard this and stroked his chin, not too surprised by it.
After all, this time he had indeed helped in a big way, solving a longstanding problem for Shangjing University.
Otherwise, who knows how long this 'Twin' Secret Realm would remain before it could potentially be conquered.
It might even be possible that no second person would ever have the ability to conquer it.
If that were really the case, then the existence of this Secret Realm would inevitably be seen as a disgrace for Shangjing University; after all, if even a Level 35 Secret Realm couldn't be conquered, does such a university really have the prestige of a top-tier institution?
So Lin Ye's intervention this time was indeed a huge help.
Although, according to the earlier announcement, basically anyone with a brain knew that the 'Twin' Secret Realm was mostly conquered thanks to Lin Ye.
The other participants were basically just there to help activate the Secret Realm.
But such matters, at most, would just make a splash for a while at the start, maybe not even for long before people outside might forget about it in less than half an hour.
There are too many things that may seem astonishing at the beginning, spreading rapidly and becoming hot topics.
But as facts usually prove, once the hype fades, these popular events of the moment are quickly forgotten.
So it's true that the 'Twin' Secret Realm was conquered thanks to Lin Ye, but such matters, let alone bystanders, even Lin Ye himself wouldn't go around boasting to everyone every day.
However, the benefits brought to Shangjing University are indeed real.
That is, this Secret Realm, which had troubled Shangjing University for years and remained unconquered, is now no longer in the 'unconquered' state.
As for who exactly conquered it, to be honest, who would be so idle as to remember this every day?
After all, it's not like it's going to be on the exam, and in real battles, who even pays attention to whose name is on the strategy guides they use?
So conquering the 'Twin' Secret Realm is beneficial for both parties, a typical win-win.
An achievement of the first clear of a Secret Realm comes with extremely generous rewards, and these benefits mostly fell into Lin Ye's pocket.
As for Shangjing University, it got rid of an 'unconquered' Secret Realm, which in the long run, is definitely a good thing.
So it's not hard to understand why, as the principal, An Zhiyuan put so much importance on this matter.
"My grandfather said that if it's inconvenient for us to go over, he can come to us!" An Ying added.
"No need, let's go over! To avoid being surrounded by people again." Lin Ye immediately said.
He's well aware of his own position, and if people found out, imagine what a big hassle it would be.
Too many people surrounding him would make it inconvenient for him to go anywhere.
"Okay! I'll let my grandpa know so he can get ready!" An Ying agreed.
"I'll head back to the dorm first..." Li Fei said at this point.
An Zhiyuan was looking for Lin Ye, and she didn't know what they were going to talk about, so she thought it was best not to meddle unnecessarily.
"No, you come with me." Lin Ye firmly grasped Li Fei's hand, leaving no room for refusal.
Feeling the warmth from his palm, Li Fei's face instantly turned red, and although she was wearing a mask, her glistening earlobes were also flushed.
Actually, though she hadn't said it along the way, she already felt that Lin Ye seemed to become increasingly unattainable, making her feel a sense of inferiority.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said she should head back to the dorm just now.
It was essentially a form of escapism.
But now, Lin Ye had pulled her back, and that unattainable feeling instantly vanished.
Lin Ye was still Lin Ye, still that big boy from back then who had pulled her out of a difficult situation.
"Okay!" she raised her head, replying sweetly.
"Oh my goodness..." An Ying exclaimed loudly, only to feel as if she'd been fed a mouthful of PDA, leaving her feeling rather out of sorts.
Li Fei shot a glare at An Ying: "Don't make such a big fuss!"
If passing classmates noticed and recognized the two of them, it wouldn't matter...
But now with Lin Ye by their side!
If people found out they were right there, then they could pretty much kiss the idea of leaving goodbye.
Onlookers would surely block the entire path on campus.
An Ying immediately shut her mouth, her eyes darting around, and luckily, her impulsive shout hadn't drawn much attention.
The students of Shangjing University were just too busy, always rushing to level up or to study and attend classes, their schedules packed full, showcasing a level of diligence that students from second or third-tier schools can't compare to.
With these overachievers, who has the time to care about you shouting nonsense by the roadside?
As long as it doesn't bother me, whether you crow like a rooster or bark like a dog is none of my business.
"Let's go see Principal An!" Lin Ye, in high spirits, holding Li Fei's hand, walked ahead, utterly disregarding the single An Ying left behind.
Faced with such a scene, An Ying could only roll her eyes and trail behind with eager steps.
Because she too wanted to know what her usually straight-laced and serious grandfather's expression would be now.
He would probably be grinning ear to ear, wouldn't he?
A Secret Realm that had always been unsolvable was cracked during his tenure. Although it was cracked by someone from another school, as long as he wrote the report well, wouldn't the credit still be his?
Such a bounty of benefits falling into his lap for free, he couldn't be more overjoyed.
The more she thought, the more An Ying wanted to know if her grandpa could still control the corners of his mouth.
...
Quickly, the three of them arrived at the school's administration building.
This was the main office location of the school, where the principal's office was also located.
Although this was the school's core area, in fact, most students might never set foot in here until they graduated.
Like Li Fei, who was so focused on her studies and self-improvement that apart from eating and sleeping, her days were mainly filled with attending classes and studying.
She had never been to this place before.
"Let's go! I'll guide you!" An Ying stepped up and said.
As the principal's granddaughter, she was quite familiar with this place and naturally took on the role of guide.
However, as soon as they stepped into the hall, they saw a group of people waiting, led by none other than the gray-haired An Zhiyuan.
Seeing this scene, An Ying couldn't help but be stunned.
Because she had never seen her grandfather showing such a smile before.
It really was hard to suppress those corners of his mouth!
