“Stop there, Zhu Hua!” Ren Baqian said while wielding a Type 81 assault rifle.

Throughout the campus, a female figure scurried around like a monkey. People could only see a faint shadow and couldn’t locate her.

“My body would be full of holes if I stood still!” Zhu Hua apparently wasn’t ready to be taken for a fool. Seeing how angry he was at the moment, she decided to stay out of trouble for the time being.

Without even looking, Ren Baqian pulled the trigger and fired continuously at where the sound came from.

Li Fu, who was resting with his eyes closed, pointed his finger in the air a few times and made several bullets fall to the ground.

“Are you shooting at me? If it were someone else, his face would probably be full of holes!” he said faintly.

“Pah!”

“So bad-tempered? Are you constipated?”

At a window not far away, several students turned their heads and looked outside.

“The principal is really scary!” The classroom was full of this year’s freshmen, and they were obviously not used to Ren Baqian’s fine teaching customs.

A young girl stuck her tongue out and said, “Looks fine!”

“Of course you think it’s fine. The principal always looks at you with pleasant eyes!”

“If you guys put more effort into your examinations, he definitely wouldn’t be fierce with you!” Zhan Caixian smiled.

Dadada! Dadadada!

There was another series of gunfire.

Shi Gan, who had just walked out of the Research Institute of Internal Combustion Engines, looked in the direction of the academy and laughed.

“Yagui has been pretty impatient lately!” he said.

Shi Gan hadn’t heard gunfire for quite some time, but gunshots had been roaring repeatedly these days.

“Still, I really miss this sound!”

“These are all the scars of men!” Du Laoliu suddenly came out, removed his shirt, and revealed scars that could be seen on his body. They looked pretty prominent in the sun.

Over the last few years, he had been hung up the most.

“Hehe!”

Tong Lan, who had been sitting on top of the wall, suddenly sneered, thinking that Du Laoliu obviously got these scars because he was stupid.

He couldn’t be bothered with her or probably wasn’t in the mood to get into a fight.

He turned to Shi Gan and asked, “Do you think this internal combustion engine will be able to replace manual labor like what Yagui said?”

“Why not? The steam-powered car explained everything, but that was still too big. If we shrink the internal combustion engine, we will be able to achieve our goal. That biodiesel is much more useful than black coal and charcoal. I’m really looking forward to seeing all the things we have made go on the streets as well as the surprised looks on people’s faces.”

“We can graduate once the internal combustion engine is manufactured!” Du Laoliu said after pondering for a little.

“Yes!” Shi Gan sighed with a dull look on his face.

“That’s hard to say. I heard that there are two options for us after we complete the project. One is to continue studying since there is deeper knowledge to learn, and the other is to go out and work in various departments. A group of us will probably have to stay! Of course, those who aren’t that smart better hurry up and graduate!” Tong Lan vanished after saying this.

Shi Gan smiled at Du Laoliu and said, “She doesn’t have any ill intentions!”

“I know, but her words stink!” Du Laoliu waved his hand. After knowing her for more than three years, he of course knew what she was like.

Besides, she was so young!

Even if they ignored her age, they still had to respect her for her strong fists.

…

Two young ladies were leading their horses and walking down the streets of Lan City dressed like Daoist nuns.

The younger one asked, “Where do we find the world’s most powerful expert?”

“This is Qi Zixiao’s place. We have to greet the owner first. We can just ask her about Li Fu!” Li Yuanzhu set her sights on the pedestrians and shops at the side.

In fact, there was a simpler way. People would immediately notice her once she released the aura from her body.

However, she naturally wouldn’t do such publicity stunts given her light temperament.

The pair went straight for the palace as soon as they entered the city.

“Halt, the two of you! The palace is forbidden! You are prohibited from coming closer!” They were stopped by the guards before they even reached the palace gates.

“Hey, tell your empress that my senior is here!” Ning Qing made threatening gestures like a fox.

Li Yuanzhu was the tiger.

She stared at Ning Qing, stepped forward, cupped her fists, and declared, “Li Yuanzhu of Great Xia wishes to see Her Majesty of Dayao!”

“Do you think you can see Her Majesty whenever you want? Go to the Honglu Bureau and report your identities. Her Majesty will call you if she wishes to see you.” The guard clearly didn’t know who she was.

Even though she was the third most powerful expert in the world, she resided too far away from them.

“Hey, my senior is… Oh!” Ning Qing glared at them and shouted before Li Yuanzhu covered her mouth.

Li Yuanzhu then smiled at the guards and dragged Ning Qing away.

“Senior, they actually asked you to report to the Honglu Bureau? This Qi Zixiao is too arrogant!”

“Not everyone knows who we are! Their attitude has already exceeded my expectations!” Li Yuanzhu chuckled. As the people of Great Xia described, the aboriginals were ferocious, brutal, and overbearing. Although these two guards were crude, their attitude was pretty alright, which surprised her.

“Are we going to report to the Honglu Bureau just like that?” Ning Qing felt a little unwilling.

“We’ll go look for that person!” Li Yuanzhu said after pondering for a bit.

“That person? That person! That b*stard?” Ning Qing’s face flushed with anger when she recalled the encounter with that person from a few years ago. That bastard actually said that both her and her senior’s boobs were small!

“It’s been a few years—haven’t you gotten over it?” Li Yuanzhu had long since been over that matter.

“Humph!”

“Since yours were inherited, don’t worry too much!” Li Yuanzhu giggled.

“Inherited? Inherited what?” Ning Qing froze for a moment before she reacted and said, “Senior!”

She then fell into despair and said, “Yes, I inherited my ancestor’s flat chest! So what?!”

She turned to look at Li Yuanzhu and said, “Senior, you are no better than me!”

Li Yuanzhu simply laughed and said nothing.

In fact, she didn’t care about this at all. She merely used this to bully Ning Qing.

It was easy to find out where Ren Baqian was. As soon as they arrived at the school, they saw a dark shadow leaping over the wall and scampering off.

Li Yuanzhu saw this person clearly. She was a girl around 17 years old, wore clothes made of animal hide, and stuck out her tongue as she ran.

The two then asked to see Ren Baqian, and it went much smoother this time.

He knew who the visitors were after hearing the descriptions of their outfits.

Li Yuanzhu should probably be here by now.

Ren Baqian calmed himself down and went to greet them at the door. After all, she was the third most powerful expert in the world, so he ought to have the proper bearing.

He walked over and saw two pretty women standing there dressed like Daoist nuns.

It had been three years since they last met, and it seemed like they hadn’t changed much.

They were still quite flat.

“Estimating the time, both of you should probably be here by now.” Ren Baqian had no intention of concealing this.

He then looked at Li Yuanzhu, seemingly without regarding her as a stranger, and sighed before commenting, “You looked the same three years ago. Still unaffected by the secular world; truly admirable.”

The two almost didn’t recognize him, and Ning Qing couldn’t help but ask, “How did you become like this?”

Although he looked pretty wretched back then, he was still rather handsome!

But now…

Ren Baqian touched his head and laughed, “I have become bald and stronger!”

The two obviously didn’t understand what he meant, and Li Yuanzhu simply smiled and kept silent. Ning Qing actually noticed his aura, and her jaw dropped due to feeling a little surprised. She actually didn’t recognize him at first glance, yet he had now attained the Earth Wheel level.

She then looked at herself, pouted her little mouth, and felt vexed.

“When I saw…” Thoughts raced in Li Yuanzhu’s mind. Should she address him as His Highness? However, he wasn’t from Dayao. What about prince consort…? He didn’t look like that either…

“Just address me as Daoist friend!” Ren Baqian laughed. He didn’t care much about his identity, so she could just treat him like a Daoist friend and they could be at ease with each other.

“Oh, are you also a Daoist priest?” Ning Qing was surprised.

“I’m a Buddhist!” Ren Baqian then recalled that he was actually still a Buddhist.
