Before Wang Xiao could say anything, Shen Tianlin had already pulled Liu Yingying to the side and said something anxiously in a low voice.

Wang Xiao pricked up his ears and listened for a while without changing his expression. However, Shen Tianlin’s voice was really too soft. Even with his hearing, he could only hear “Don’t mess around”, “Boss”, “You’ve caused me trouble” , and so on.

A moment later, Shen Tianlin turned to Wang Xiao again with the same unreasonable expression. “I’m very sorry. The situation today is a little special. Please go back first.”

“Go back?”

Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. Then, he frowned. “You’ve tormented me for so long. Now, you’re asking me to go back with just a word. Are you joking?”

“I’m really sorry.”

Shen Tianlin said in a low voice, but there was no apology on his face at all. “The boss is not around. I can’t make the decision on the contract change. I can only ask you to go back first.”

Wang Xiao’s expression darkened. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Tianlin continued, “However, don’t worry. I’ll try my best to facilitate this business.”

“Later, I’ll transfer 30 billion star coins to your order in my personal name. This way, the boss won’t refuse. You just have to return to Kaiyang City and wait for news. Then, remember to return the money to me.”

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this and suddenly felt that this situation was interesting.

Although the 30 billion was not given for nothing, the fact that Shen Tianlin was willing to take the initiative to take out money had already conflicted with his previous style of doing things.

Wang Xiao still did not know what had happened, but from the current situation, Shen Tianlin had clearly encountered a predicament. Moreover, the value of this “predicament” far exceeded 30 billion star coins!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao suddenly had a new thought. However, before he could say anything, Liu Yingying suddenly walked towards him.

“Are you from Kaiyang City?”

Liu Yingying looked at Wang Xiao with sparkling eyes, as if she had completely forgotten what had just happened. “Then you must know Grandpa Qin Kaiyang?

Wang Xiao thought to himself, What logic is this? However, he still nodded and admitted, “I don’t know if the person you’re talking about is the same person as me, but I do know a senior called Qin Kaiyang. He’s my former Academy Head—you know him too?”

“Wow! Grandpa Qin really opened an academy?!”

Liu Yingying suddenly cheered and ignored Wang Xiao’s question. “Then is the Kaiyang Academy you mentioned still there? How big is it? How many people are there? Grandpa Qin’s academy is definitely the most powerful academy in your area, right?”

Wang Xiao looked at Liu Yingying, who did not answer the question, and was a little speechless. After a few seconds, he said, “In the past, yes. But later…”

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yingying suddenly ran away and shook Shen Tianlin’s hand coquettishly. “Minister Shen! I want to go to that… What’s that place again?”

Kaiyang Academy. ”

“Yes! Kaiyang Academy!”

Liu Ying nodded and looked at Shen Tianlin expectantly. “I want to go to Kaiyang Academy for class! Can you help me tell Grandpa?”

‘Young Miss, you…”

Just as Shen Tianlin was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something and glanced at Wang Xiao. He pulled Liu Yingying to the side and said, “Can you stop fooling around? Kaiyang Academy is equivalent to an ordinary high school. It nurtures those new lords who have just awakened their [Lord Skill]…”

“I’m a new lord!”

Before Shen Tianlin could finish, Liu Yingying hurriedly said, “I’ve only awakened my talent for four years. I’m only a level five lord now. How am I not a newbie?”

“But you just received the acceptance letter from Blue Planet University a few

“I’ll just not go! What’s that place called… Oh right! I want to go to Kaiyang Academy to repeat my studies!”

The conversation between Shen Tianlin and Liu Yingying continued, but Wang Xiao was no longer in the mood to listen. His mind was filled with what the two of them had just said. His first reaction was that he had heard wrongly.

This Liu Yingying, who did not look very smart, was actually already a level five lord? Moreover, she had obtained the acceptance letter of Blue Planet University?

Even if rich children were somewhat convenient in some aspects, wasn’t this too ridiculous?

The energy aura on Liu Yingying’s body was very weak. It might not even be comparable to a level three lord. As for the admission notice of Blue Planet University, it was even more ridiculous.

What kind of place was the Blue Planet University? It was the highest school in the hearts of all the lords of the Blue Planet! It was meant to nurture outstanding talents to protect the Blue Planet. How could they be afraid of the influential and accept a child without real talent?

Could it be that he was blind and Liu Yingying was actually a hidden expert? Just as Wang Xiao was thinking nonsense, Liu Yingying suddenly screamed and ran away while covering her face.

“Well… I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.”

Shen Tianlin, who was left behind, glanced at Wang Xiao with an obviously awkward expression. “If there’s nothing else, you can go back first. I guarantee that you can obtain that batch of resources before tomorrow night.”

Wang Xiao opened his mouth and did not say anything. Suddenly interrupted by Liu Yingying, he had even forgotten his new idea just now. He only vaguely remembered to use the weakness he had just discovered to push his luck, but he could not remember how to do it at all.

In addition, the atmosphere had already been destroyed to this extent. No matter how aggressive Wang Xiao wanted to be, he could not raise his emotions. Fortunately, the matter of resources was almost certain. He could not be bothered to argue anymore.

Wang Xiao cursed in his heart. He took out an ordinary [Contract Scroll] and filled in Shen Tianlin’s promise just now. After all, the other party had gone back on his word several times. He really had to be wary.

However, Wang Xiao was thinking too much this time. After Shen Tianlin received the [Contract Scroll], he left behind the lord mark without thinking.

Then, Shen Tianlin directly got someone to transfer 30 billion star coins from his personal account to Wang Xiao’s order in front of him.

After everything was done, Shen Tianlin looked at Wang Xiao and asked helplessly, “Store Manager Lin will bring you to pick up the goods tomorrow night. Can you go back now?”

Wang Xiao checked the contents of the contract and confirmed that there was no mistake. He smiled and stretched out his right hand to Shen Tianlin. “Minister Shen, happy cooperation!”

Shen Tianlin looked at Wang Xiao’s outstretched right hand and snorted before turning to leave.

Wang Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, not minding it. Just as he was about to call Lin Xiang back with him, he turned around and realized that the other party was tinkering with something in front of the screen on the wall.

Seeing Lin Xiang’s focused expression, Wang Xiao remembered that the other party had not made a sound just now. He could not help but frown and ask in confusion, “Manager Lin, what are you doing?”

It was unknown what Lin Xiang was fiddling with, but he only came back to his senses after Wang Xiao shouted again.

Realizing that Liu Yingying and Shen Tianlin had left, Lin Xiang was slightly stunned. Then, his expression suddenly became gossipy. “Brother Wang, tell me the truth—what’s your relationship with Eldest Miss?”

Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. “I don’t even know her. What can

she have to do with me?”

“You don’t know her?”

Lin Xiang was also stunned when he heard this.. “Then why did she help you just now?”
