Chapter 225: Lin Lin Mengye

Ye Xiu, the Night Watch Administration Bureau oversees all awakened individuals nationwide and has the authority to reclaim your reward.

You should know what it means to awaken as a summoner; on what basis do you think you deserve a reward? An S-rank talent doesn't prove anything—your future growth is extremely limited. I hope you see the bigger picture and yield this part of the reward to someone more capable!

As soon as the Provincial Bureau official finished speaking, Ye Xiu let out a cold laugh.

Yield it to someone more capable? Are you suggesting we give it to those big‑family people?

Early that morning Ye Xiu heard people discussing how Cui Cheng, who had awakened an A‑rank lightning ability, was awarded ten Blood Vitality Pills.

That Cui Cheng is trouble‑prone, and besides, he already bears a grudge, so he naturally sought out Ye Xiu to show off.

Under Ye Xiu's mocking words, Cui Cheng indeed let the secret slip.

Those ten Blood Vitality Pills that should have been Ye Xiu's have now ended up in the Cui family's pocket!

As for that supernatural artifact, Cui Cheng is merely A‑rank, so even if the Provincial Bureau wanted to curry favor with the Cui family, they couldn't manage that.

But there's no doubt that the supernatural artifact rightfully his will, like the Blood Vitality Pills, inevitably be handed over to someone else as a favor.

Ye Xiu was unwilling—it was what he deserved.

What's wrong with summoners? They simply don't know that, with a divine talent, even without a proper magic beast to contract, he can instantly kill those so‑called heaven‑chosen prodigies.

But that is his trump card, a secret he must not reveal—not even his older sister Meng said he could tell anyone.

Ye Xiu thought it over and could only clench his fists in silence, etching today's shame into his heart.

Upon hearing Ye Xiu's words, the Provincial Bureau staff reacted as if their tails had been stepped on, jumping up instantly.

"Outrageous! Is this how you usually teach students at City South Middle School?"

The principal broke into a cold sweat, quickly gestured to Ye Xiu to shut up, and then stood aside offering an apologetic smile.

"Please calm down, Official Xu; this boy is just momentarily hot‑headed and spoke without thinking—don't take him seriously."

"In my opinion, the supernatural artifact is far too precious; it should be reserved for the night‑watchers on the front lines…" The principal frowned slightly, looking at Official Xu, hoping to plead further for Ye Xiu.

"Besides, this boy is fundamentally S‑rank talented; even if his summoner ability can't be used, his comprehension is surely strong—he could certainly become a teacher. Wouldn't it be fine to reward him with a few Blood Vitality Pills? Let him use them to at least temper his body and strengthen his bones—what do you think?"

After the principal finished speaking, Official Xu's face had already darkened horribly.

Just then, Lin Lin Mengye arrived with a stern face; before Teacher Gu could even enter, she had already pushed the door open and entered forcefully.

"Principal, thank you for advocating for my brother, but his reward isn't limited to Blood Vitality Pills—by the rules he should receive everything in full, not have it seized!"

Lin Lin Mengye spoke with imposing authority; as soon as she appeared she refuted Official Xu's face, then stood imposingly beside Ye Xiu to support him.

Ye Xiu hadn't expected his sister to come, but as soon as she arrived she gave him backing.

At that moment all his grievances vanished; Ye Xiu felt a warm glow in his chest, as if something wanted to burst forth, and he instinctively stepped forward a few paces to block the hostile glare of the arrogant Official Xu.

"Where did this yellow‑haired girl come from? What's going on with City South Middle School? How can just anyone waltz into the principal's office?"

Seeing that Ye Xiu and his sister were unresponsive, Official Xu turned to question the principal.

The principal, seeing the unfamiliar Lin Lin Mengye, was also taken aback and about to speak when Gu Feng rushed in, saying apologetically:

"Principal, she's Ye Xiu's sister; as soon as she heard he was being bullied, she insisted on coming herself, and I couldn't stop her."

Gu Feng said that on purpose, his gaze subtly landing on Official Xu.

In a private message, he, as Ye Xiu's homeroom teacher, naturally also wanted the reward to be properly granted—but the Provincial Bureau's Official Xu, overbearing and unreasonable, never entertained discussion and simply dealt with Ye Xiu's rightful reward behind the scenes.

As he knew it, the Blood Vitality Pills went to Cui Cheng, while the supernatural artifact might flow into the black market and eventually be sold abroad!

That way, Official Xu could make a big profit and at the same time need not worry about being investigated.

Gu Feng couldn't stand such conduct, and recalling his encounter with Ye Xiu's sister—her extraordinary bearing made it clear she was no ordinary person, perhaps she could help Ye Xiu.

For now, perhaps we can truly look forward to Ye Xiu's sister's performance.

Lin Lin Mengye also wasted no words, grabbed a sofa and sat down, giving the other side no face at all.

In her view, the more casually she behaved, the less the other party could pin her down.

Lin Lin Mengye's unexpected move indeed gave Official Xu a hint of wariness, as he secretly wondered whether Ye Xiu too had someone backing him.

Looking at this young woman, although she emanated no supernatural power fluctuations, her aura was even stronger than his—this couldn't be produced by an ordinary person merely putting on a show.

For a moment, Official Xu scrutinized the situation and made no rash move.

Meanwhile, Lin Lin Mengye turned her gaze straight to the principal.

"Principal, are there written records of the regulations governing rewards for top scorers in the college entrance exam?"

The principal, being older and experienced, saw that Lin Lin Mengye's demeanor was not to be trifled with, and that he could help Ye Xiu seek justice; naturally pleased, he quickly fetched a few pages of paper.

"Yes, yes—may I ask how the young lady would like to be addressed?"

Lin Lin Mengye casually replied, "Lin Lin Mengye, Ye Xiu's cousin older sister."

At the same time she raised two fingers and beckoned toward the principal.

The next second, the several sheets of paper in the principal's hand shot straight to Lin Lin Mengye, where her slender fingers precisely caught them.

For a moment the principal's office fell deathly silent; several people stared in shock at Lin Lin Mengye and at the paper she held.

What kind of technique is this?!

Official Xu's expression instantly darkened, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

This girl really isn't simple; remote‑object control seems to be a capability only of psychic‑type supernatural powers.

Yet according to his knowledge, psychic‑type supernatural powers are exceedingly rare worldwide, and our Dragon Nation has none!

Lin Lin Mengye showed a little trick, and indeed it intimidated Official Xu.

The principal and Teacher Gu also stared, eyes wide, at a loss.

This cousin older sister of Ye Xiu is no ordinary person—having such skill at such a young age explains her arrogance; she's got the backing!

Lin Lin Mengye was meanwhile trying not to laugh, straining to keep the corners of her mouth from giving herself away.

She had merely used the most basic object‑control technique of a cultivator, yet she managed to firmly control those few people.

If she were to employ any other arts, wouldn't they have to kneel before her?

But Lin Lin Mengye only felt a quiet thrill; she dared not show more, fearing that her sixth‑layer Qi Refining cultivation might still be insufficient—if she slipped up, it would be worse.

Afterwards Lin Lin Mengye roughly glanced at the document in her hand; when she saw the reward receipt signature list, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Official Xu, you have guts, privately misusing public property, yet you still want my brother to sign to help you cover up, you're so criminal!"
