Chapter 86: Boss Sun, Please Come In
"Time to prepare for the exam."
Yu Sheng said quietly without explanation and turned to walk towards the distance.
Zhao Zicheng stared blankly at his watch.
The hands pointed clearly to the number 'six.'
"Isn't there... still two hours left?"
His hair was a mess in the wind.
"Oh."
"You can sleep a bit more."
Yu Sheng didn’t stop walking as he responded, his figure receding further and further.
Zhao Zicheng looked back at the room with a hint of reluctance but quickly remembered the smell and, his face turning slightly green, hurried to catch up with Yu Sheng's pace as they moved farther away.
...
In the morning light, Mo Pavilion Academy appeared uniquely beautiful.
Ancient and aromatic.
It seemed to instantly quiet one's soul.
There was no one around.
Yu Sheng looked left and right, eventually choosing a spot closest to the main gate to stand.
Zhao Zicheng stood next to him.
Soon, sporadically, a few more people arrived.
Including the boy with a tombstone on his back, Lin Xiaoxiao, the Giant...
At the stroke of 7 o'clock, the gates of Mo Pavilion Academy slowly opened.
Still, that person who seemed forever in pajamas, yawning listlessly, leaned against the door.
Just as the door opened.
From a corner in the distance, a figure flashed and darted inside.
Still laughing loudly, "Teacher, don’t forget about my credit!"
"According to school rules, not returning overnight costs 2 credits."
"The 1 credit you owe, remember to pay it at the academic office."
As if just coming to his senses, this person stretched lazily, appearing slightly more awake.
"My name is Xu Yuanqing, a teacher at this school."
"But I prefer being a boss to being a teacher."
"Just call me Boss Xu."
With a languid tone, he spoke a few words: "Now, come in."
Saying this, he stepped aside.
Yu Sheng was the first to lift his foot and step through the gate.
Following him, a group of people gradually entered.
When only three were left outside...
Xu Yuanqing moved, blocking the entrance, still in his lazy demeanor but with a sharp gaze towards these three: "You... have been eliminated."
The three faces showed a trace of confusion, quickly turning to anger.
"Why?"
"I need a reason!"
They gritted their teeth, faces filled with indignation.
They could accept being outmatched in skill, but being eliminated over a matter of who came first was unbearable.
"Because... um..."
Xu Yuanqing thought seriously for a moment: "Because I'm in a bad mood, and I don't like the look of you."
He offered this quite sincerely.
The door closed.
"I won't accept this!"
"Is this really how Mo Pavilion Academy operates?"
"Although I've never considered myself extraordinarily gifted, Spirit Mind Academy offered me admission without requiring exams. Is this how Mo Pavilion Academy humiliates us?"
"I will appeal!"
The group shouted in righteous anger.
They had forsaken a precious offer of direct admission from Spirit Mind Academy, traveling great distances to Mo Pavilion Academy, the institution with the highest mortality rate, only to be denied entry.
To them, it was an immense humiliation.
"Appeal, you say? That's possible."
Xu Yuanqing nodded, leaving the door slightly ajar, rummaging through his pajama pockets.

Finally, he found a work ID and held it to his chest.
"Hello, students, I am the Deputy Director of the Education Department in Border City."
"Are you here to file a complaint against Mo Pavilion Academy?"
"Don't worry, our Education Department always serves the students. Any unfair treatment will be addressed by us on your behalf."
"Feel free to voice your complaints and concerns."
"I will take them seriously."
Xu Yuanqing's expression was stern as he spoke.
...
Silence fell.
The group stared deeply at Xu Yuanqing's face, which bore a hint of a mocking smile amid its weariness, and with clenched teeth, they turned and walked away.
Xu Yuanqing chuckled softly, removing his work ID.
He put it away carefully.
In fact, if asked to explain himself, he could indeed provide a multitude of unassailable reasons.
But why bother with explanations?
Some things are better understood through personal realization.
Besides, he didn't have the time for it.
Just as the gate was about to close, one of the three who had already walked away stealthily returned. Speaking through the narrow slit left in the door, he said, "Um... Boss Xu, I have money."
The gate, which was nearly closed, suddenly stopped.
Then, the slit widened slightly.
Through the gap, Xu Yuanqing's eyes eerily fixed on him.
"This card has some of my pocket money."
"I am willing to forgo any dividends and invest in Boss Xu's company for free."
He slid the bank card through the gap.
Holding the bank card, Xu Yuanqing looked amused, "Pocket money... I wonder how much that is?"
The man held up two fingers.
Chuckling, Xu Yuanqing said, "Twenty thousand to get in? You're hardly taking me seriously..."
"It's two hundred thousand."
The man shook his head, correcting Xu Yuanqing's misunderstanding.
The hand holding the bank card trembled slightly.
"What's the PIN?"
He looked at the man and asked.
"147XXX... I'll tell you the last three digits if I pass the Mo Pavilion Academy assessment," the man said, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
He took a deep breath.
Xu Yuanqing shook his head, "That's not enough."
"Simple."
The man fiddled with his phone for a moment, "Hmm, I just transferred another 300,000 into this card, that makes it half a million."
"That's about what I spend in a month."
"A month... you understand, Boss Xu?"
Meaning clearly conveyed through implication rather than explicit detail.
In this moment, he seemed less like a student and more like a shrewd businessman.
Xu Yuanqing's eyes lit up completely.
The lazy aura around him vanished.
He rubbed his hands subconsciously.
"And your name is...?"
He hesitated before asking.
The man modestly lowered his head, "Sun Wen, my grandfather is... Sun Yingxiong."
Sun Yingxiong...
One of the Elders of Mo Pavilion, and among the two visible to the public, he is the one with the highest combat prowess.
With such a background and apparent generosity, there's hardly a need for confirmation.
It's definitely him, no doubt about it!
"Boss Sun, please come in!"
"Welcome to Mo Pavilion Academy. We hope you have a pleasant learning experience."
"And while you're here, let me share our company's future development plans with you."
The gate swung wide open.
Xu Yuanqing's eyes had narrowed into slits, his face radiating a simple and honest charm.
