Chapter 729: We
"What? Jingming, you're going back to Modu right away?"
In the virtual world, inside Xu Jingming's villa, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan had already teleported over.
In fact, the moment Xu Jingming returned to Daya, he notified the two of them.
He just hadn't fixed the exact time of his return to Modu; now that he told them, they were both thrilled.
"I'll depart within two hours and should arrive at Modu Institute of Psychic Abilities around one in the afternoon."
Xu Jingming nodded with a smile in confirmation.
The Shangcheng of Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall was highly efficient.
Even something as massive as a fighter jet could be transported from the warehouse within two hours.
"Then good—let us know ahead of time when you're arriving; we'll go pick you up at the school gate."
Song Qiuyun said with a beaming smile.
In her pair of large, glistening eyes, a hint of unmasked ardor flickered.
Beside her, the white-haired girl Jiang Chuxuan also wore a faint look of anticipation on her delicate face.
"By the way, I'm not coming back alone this time."
Xu Jingming cleared his throat, avoiding direct words.
"Not coming back alone?"
Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan both froze, then immediately realized and teased:
"Looks like we're getting another sister."
"So who's this new sister?" Jiang Chuxuan blinked, curious.
"You'll find out when the time comes—you've met her before," Xu Jingming refused to say outright.
Ling Shuang's identity was simply too distant for them to grasp.
After all, among the two girls, Song Qiuyun came from the most prestigious family.
Yet even the entire Song family's industrial scale might surpass the enterprises Ling Shuang controlled.
But in terms of power, without Grandpa Song, the Song family couldn't match even one of Ling Shuang's fingers...
After chatting for over an hour, once Xu Jingming confirmed the fighter jet had been delivered, he exited the virtual world.
In the real world, Jiang Chuxuan had already found Song Qiuyun.
"Qiuyun, who do you think Jingming is bringing back as his new sister?"
In Song Qiuyun's villa at Modu Institute of Psychic Abilities' dormitory, Jiang Chuxuan asked with curiosity.
"I guess it's that girl we met at the entrance of Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall last time."
"She had blue eyes—wasn't her name Xia Lan?"
Song Qiuyun speculated.
Whether in figure or appearance, that girl was undeniably stunning.
"I think so too."
Jiang Chuxuan nodded, then softly chuckled: "I remember she's a Rank 4 Upper-tier Psychic, right?"
"With her here, we can both breathe a little easier."
Xu Jingming was simply too overwhelming; the two of them couldn't possibly handle him alone.
Adding one more person actually lightened their burden considerably.
"Mmm..."
Something crossed Song Qiuyun's mind—her cheeks flushed slightly as she murmured in reply.
This time, she probably won't roll her eyes...
April 15th, 12:00 noon.
Modu, outside the gate of Modu Institute of Psychic Abilities.
As usual, the area was bustling; outside the gate, many tourists had come to take photos.
The grand entrance, wide enough for dozens of cars to pass side by side, saw students coming and going.
Many appeared to have just returned from the Wildlands, clad in battle suits, carrying weapons.
Bloodstains across their bodies revealed the ferocity and brutality of their battles.
"Mommy, when I grow up, I'm going to get into Modu Institute of Psychic Abilities!"
"Good, good—my dear son will definitely awaken an A-rank Psychic ability."
Countless tourists snapped photos; each child gazed at the Modu students with wide-eyed admiration.
And as these students passed a certain spot near the gate, many would bow respectfully.
There stood two beautiful women—one with black hair, one with white.
Both around twenty years old, exquisitely beautiful, tall and slender.
The black-haired girl had a fuller figure; the white-haired girl, a more delicate frame.
"President, Vice-President, good."
"President, good."
"Vice-President, good."
"..."
These were all members of the Deep Blue Club; seeing Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan at the gate, they naturally greeted them respectfully.
Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan merely nodded slightly in response.
"So beautiful—both of you, Presidents. Too bad you're taken."
A bald young man passing by among the Deep Blue Club members sighed.
"Not only are they beautiful, but they're also incredibly powerful. Both of them are already at the upper tier of third rank. I'd guess they could break through to fourth rank this year."
The skinny guy beside them said, swaying his head.
"Break through this year? How could it be that fast?" The bald youth was shocked.
Jiang Chuxuan was doing somewhat better — after all, she'd be in her senior year this fall, so breaking through to fourth rank was normal.
But Song Qiuyun would only be a third-year this fall. Isn't this breakthrough speed a bit too fast?
"Have you guys forgotten who the two presidents' boyfriends are?" the skinny guy reminded them.
The bald youth and the other companions immediately came to their senses and said in unison:
"Lei Di, Xu Jingming!"
"That's right, it's him."
The skinny youth snapped his fingers. "I heard Lei Di brought back quite a few rare resources last time, which let the two presidents break through from third rank to mid-third rank.
Next time he comes back, I reckon both of them will be able to break through again."
"True. With Lei Di's ability, helping the two presidents break through is just too easy."
Thinking of that man who had risen like a comet at the Genius Tournament, the bald youth couldn't help but show a look of admiration:
"Too bad Lei Di doesn't like men. Otherwise, I'd have to compete with President Song and President Jiang for his favor."
"Holy crap, you're seriously disgusting."
Looking at the bald youth's face full of fleshy jowls, the companions couldn't help but feel a chill of disgust.
"What's wrong with that? As long as I can get stronger, what's the harm in selling my ass?"
The bald youth said matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right."
The skinny youth really didn't want to keep imagining that lovely picture, so he changed the subject:
"Speaking of which, how strong do you guys think Lei Di is now?"
"No idea, but he's definitely stronger than that Katherine woman!"
The bald youth said with absolute certainty.
Although Xu Jingming had never bothered to climb the rankings, the entire Great Xia internet thought his strength had declined.
But in the Deep Blue club, and even throughout Magic University, everyone sneered at that notion.
In their view, Lei Di simply hadn't had the time to climb the rankings — how could he possibly have been surpassed by Katherine?
"True enough."
The skinny guy nodded.
He glanced back again and, noticing Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan still hadn't left the school gate, immediately said with some confusion:
"Huh? Why haven't the two presidents left yet?"
"Probably waiting for someone. Looks like they've been waiting there for a while."
The bald youth replied instinctively, then suddenly widened his eyes:
"Holy shit, they're not waiting for Lei Di, are they?"
"Damn, that's actually possible!"
"Hiss, let's not go back yet."
The few of them froze for a moment, then, once they realized, excitedly turned around and headed back.
Lei Di!
The number one prodigy of Blue Star today!
If they could just meet him once and get an autograph, that would be a huge win.
Just then, in the distant sky, a black dot gradually grew larger.
It quickly became the size of a small bird, then quickly the size of a basketball.
When the low rumble of the engine sounded, the fighter jet's original form had already fully revealed itself!
"Mommy, look, it's a fighter jet!"
One traveler after another stared in shock at the black fighter jet slowly descending toward the gate of Magic City Ability University.
"Jingming's here."
Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan's eyes lit up. Suppressing their excitement, they walked over on their long, slender legs.
Although there were quite a few travelers in front of Magic City Ability University's gate,
these travelers were all restricted to a position about fifty meters from the school gate, unable to get any closer.
Therefore, the fighter jet easily landed on the plaza in front of the school gate.
Hiss—
The fighter jet's hatch opened, and Xu Jingming — tall, dressed all in black — jumped down first.
Following right behind him was Hearing Ling Shuang, in a classical black long dress, her beautiful black hair lightly pinned up with a phoenix hairpin, her attire mature and elegant.
"Huh? Principal Ling?"
Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan froze mid-step, their eyes widening simultaneously, faces full of shock.
Their sister... couldn't possibly be Principal Ling, could she?
