Chapter 171: Hidden, Legendary Expert

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next morning.

Wang Xiao arrived at Yuheng Academy a little late today. Then, he found Tian Gang in the office, who was sorting out his teaching plans.

After handing in the 20,000 words of battle comprehension, Tian Gang threw it into the trash can as usual. Wang Xiao was not angry. He said, “Goodbye, Teacher.” Then, he turned around and left.

As soon as he left the office, Wang Xiao saw Yi Han and Xu Junrou standing at the door and looking around, as if they were waiting for someone.

Wang Xiao had nothing to do, so he went forward and greeted, “You guys are quite early today? Who are you waiting for?”

“Good morning, idol!”

Yi Han greeted her warmly and pursed his lips into a mysterious smile. “Didn’t Xiao Rou tell you before that she wanted to introduce you to an expert?”

“An expert?”

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before remembering. Previously, when he and Xu Junrou were in the information library, the other party had indeed said that there was an expert who was very good at investigating information.

However, at that time, that expert was cooperating with the military to explore the new [large secret realm], so Wang Xiao had never had the chance to see the other party. He originally thought that he would coincidentally encounter the other party in the [large secret realm] , but in the end, he did not get his wish.

“That’s true.”

Wang Xiao nodded and looked at Xu Junrou. “Didn’t you say that he wouldn’t be back for a few days that day? Why did you bring it forward?”

Xu Junrou spread her hands helplessly. “I don’t know the exact situation either, but I think they came back last night… Hey! Brother Xuan! We’re here!”

Halfway through, Xu Junrou suddenly waved into the distance. Wang Xiao subconsciously turned around and saw a thin and young boy walking towards them.

The person looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. His skin was a sickly pale color, and his half-length hair covered his eyes. He walked unsteadily, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

“It’s probably the wrong guy… It has to be the wrong guy…”

Wang Xiao muttered a few words in his heart and continued to look for the person Xu Junrou greeted. However, he saw the half-grown kid walking straight towards them. He yawned and said vaguely, “Morning, you’re here to pick me up again.”

“Brother Xuan, what are you saying?

Xu Junrou teased, “Why do you sound like you don’t want us to pick you up?”

Brother Xuan let out a long sigh. “It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that you guys have to show some sincerity, right? You always pick me up at the entrance of the academy as if I don’t know the way.”

Yi Han also chuckled. “It’s not a secret that you don’t know the way. I wonder who was trapped in the information library when school first started.”

“Yi Han! I’m doing that to learn! Learn!”

When Brother Xuan heard this, he immediately exploded. As he spoke, he even jumped up and wanted to hit Yi Han. However, his height barely reached Xu

Junrou’s chest. Even if he jumped up, he could not hit the tall and burly Yi Han. Instead, he was pressed back by the other party with one hand.

Looking at the two of them fooling around, Wang Xiao’s expression gradually became strange. After hesitating for a long time, he could not help but ask,

“That… Is this the expert you mentioned?”

Wang Xiao asked very tactfully. After all, although this “Brother Xuan” looked ordinary, he probably had some ability to be found by the military to participate in the development of the large secret realm.

Hearing someone speak, Brother Xuan stopped fooling around with Yi Han and turned to look at Wang Xiao. “Who are you?”

“Oh! Let me introduce you!”

Xu Junrou recalled something serious and hurriedly stood between the two of them. “Brother Xuan, do you still remember that during the lord competition previously, a student from Kaiyang Academy brought people to resist the invasion of the Crimson Star?”

“You’re Wang Xiao?”

Brother Xuan instantly remembered. As he spoke, he raised his hand and lifted his hair. Wang Xiao realized that his eyes were as dark as pandas, as if he had not slept for a long time.

After sized up Wang Xiao from head to toe, Gao Lixuan took the initiative to extend his right hand. “My name is Gao Lixuan. You can call me Brother Xuan in the future!”

“Brother… Brother Xuan…

Wang Xiao was caught between laughter and tears as he nodded. As he spoke, he wanted to shake hands with Gao Lixuan, but the other party retracted his hand.

“What are you doing?”

Gao Lixuan looked at Wang Xiao and asked in confusion. Then, he stretched out his right hand again. “I’m asking you to pay the protection fee! Why are you reaching out to me?”

“What?”

Wang Xiao looked at Xu Junrou suspiciously. “Is he serious?”

Before Xu Junrou could speak, Gao Lixuan rubbed his fingers and said, “I’m very serious! In the future, you’ll definitely require my help in school. I don’t like owing favors but I also don’t like it when others owe me favors.”

“Therefore, you will give me 100 star coins every month. This way, when I help you again, it will be a pure transaction. Do you understand?”

Wang Xiao gritted his teeth and held back his laughter before continuing to ask, “What if I help you? Will you give me money then?”

“I don’t need your help!”

Gao Lixuan raised his head and said proudly, “You can go and ask around now. In Yuheng Academy, I’m the only one who can help others!”

Wang Xiao was about to say something when Yi Han suddenly whispered in his ear, “Idol, just give it to him. I’ll return it to you later.”

..Alright.”

Wang Xiao smiled helplessly. Then, he opened the trading interface and transferred 100 star coins to Gao Lixuan.

Actually, Wang Xiao did not care about this bit of money. He only felt that this matter was very interesting. He wanted to figure out what made Gao Lixuan so confident that he dared to say something like “only I can help others”?

At the moment.

After Gao Lixuan received the money, his attitude also became much friendlier. He stood on his tiptoes and patted Wang Xiao’s shoulder. “Alright, in the future, come find me if you need anything in the academy!”

With that said, Gao Lixuan sauntered into the academy.

After he walked a little further, Yi Han hurriedly bowed to Wang Xiao. “Idol! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Brother Xuan is like this. Don’t lower yourself to his level! I’ll transfer the money to you now!”

As he spoke, Yi Han opened the trading interface and was about to transfer the money when Wang Xiao stopped him.

“No need. It’s not like it was a lot of money.”

Wang Xiao waved his hand with a bitter smile and asked Yi Han, “This Brother Xuan seems to be very powerful. There should be many people in the academy paying, right?”

‘Well..

Yi Han was speechless for a moment. After a moment, he silently stretched out three fingers.

“Three hundred people?”

Wang Xiao’s eyes lit up. One person was 100 star coins, and 300 people were 30,000 star coins a month. Although it might be more troublesome, this deal was worth it!

Yi Han whispered with a strange expression, “You’re the third.. ‘

Wang Xiao suddenly felt a little suffocated. Looking at Yi Han and Xu Junrou’s subtle expressions, he did not need to ask to know who the first two unlucky people were.

The three unlucky fellows looked at each other. After an awkward silence, Wang Xiao finally could not help but ask, “But what are you guys after? One of you has the [Elemental Overlord] talent, and the other has a military background. What can you need his help with?”

“That’s why you don’t know the situation.”

Xu Junrou suddenly put on a serious expression and pointed at Gao Lixuan, who had already walked far away. “The fact that you don’t have to attend classes after passing the academy trial was specially set for him from the beginning.. “
