Chapter 1029 The Principal
"What’s the problem?" Ling Feng asked.
Ye Qian bit her lip: "This is a formation!"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the surrounding buildings: "A formation? How come I can’t see it?"
"This is the unique Eight Trigrams Array of the Taoist school, it’s normal that you don’t understand," Ye Qian explained.
"I have some understanding of the Eight Trigrams Array, but I still can’t quite make it out."
Ling Feng gave a wry smile of helplessness and then asked, "So, what is this formation for?"
"Town Soul!"
Ye Qian only uttered two words, but her expression was extremely solemn.
Seeing her like this, Ling Feng was taken aback, recalling what Li Shiyun had done before.
Thus, his gaze also took on a look of gravity, and he sighed, "Since that’s the case, I’d better not delve further into the secrets of this place!"
"If even Director Chen doesn’t know what’s here, this matter must be of great importance. I think you shouldn’t keep probing, either. Better focus on that mystery man!" Ye Qian nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, thank you for today. Let me take you back!" Ling Feng nodded.
After seeing off Ye Qian, Ling Feng returned to the Reception Hall and lay down.
If there’s nothing to do, then just wait for things to come to him.
As a result, after lying down for two hours and the time reaching the afternoon, his phone finally rang.
Seeing it was Li Yun calling, Ling Feng rolled over to sit up, and after answering, he inquired, "Sister Yun, are you in the provincial city?"
"Yeah, you were looking for me earlier?" Li Yun queried.
"Yeah, I called but couldn’t get through, and knowing you were at Nine Heavens, I didn’t go," Ling Feng responded.
"Oh, are you at Ningyuan University?" Li Yun asked.
After receiving Ling Feng’s affirmative response, she laughed and said, "That’s perfect, I’ll come over later, you wait for me!"
"Oh? Sister Yun, are you coming especially to see me? Otherwise, shall I come to you?" Ling Feng asked.
"No need, I’m going to see a friend and just drop by to see you as well!" Li Yun laughed.
"Alright, then I’ll wait for you at the Reception Hall," Ling Feng said.
After hanging up, and waiting for half an hour, it was also time for dinner.
Ling Feng came out of the Reception Hall and saw Li Yun driving a bright red SUV, so he immediately walked over.
After getting into the car, he asked, "Sis, who are you here to find?"
"The president of the university is my close friend; I’ll take you to meet her!" Li Yun declared.
"Hm?"
Ling Feng was taken aback: "The university president is a woman?"
"Yeah, is that weird?" Li Yun smiled and asked.
"It’s not that, but being your close friend, she must be quite young, right? To become a president at such a young age?" Ling Feng asked, puzzled.
"She’s even younger than you’d think, you’ll know when you meet her!"
Li Yun smiled, turned the car around, and drove to the front of a small dining hall on campus.
There were hardly any students around; the people coming to eat looked like teachers, it seemed to be a dining hall especially set up for them.
Ling Feng and Li Yun entered the dining hall, then together they went up to the third floor.
This floor was all private rooms, appearing to be a place for receiving guests, and they didn’t walk far before entering a small private room.
No one was in the room, and after sitting down, Ling Feng eagerly grabbed Li Yun’s hand.
She was first stunned, then smiled and said, "What are you doing?"
"Since no one is around, why not express our feelings of parting?" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"What parting? I’m often at Nine Heavens, and don’t you see me all the time?" Li Yun asked.
"It’s different. How can seeing each other be the same as being alone together?" Ling Feng replied with a smile.
"You, I know what you’re thinking, but don’t worry, my life is quite fulfilling now; there’s no need for you to comfort me specially!" Li Yun said.
Ling Feng felt relieved, but he still said, "It’s not just comforting, I’m serious!"
"I know, I’m already very content that you can spare a thought for me," Li Yun said with a smile.
As they were talking, the door of the private room opened, and then a woman in black helped an elderly man walk in.
Li Yun and Ling Feng quickly stood up.
"Sister Yun, you’re early!" the woman in black said with a smile.
"Not really, we’ve only been seated for a minute!"
Li Yun smiled, then turned to Ling Feng and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my best friend, Xiao Ruolan, a doctor in chemistry!"
"Principal Xiao, you look so young – I can’t believe it!"
Ling Feng nodded politely and thought to himself, Xiao Ruolan appeared to be only around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
To be at such an age and already a doctor and principal was indeed impressive.
Xiao Ruolan, already accustomed to people’s amazement, replied with a slight smile, "Mr. Ling, you are too kind. By the way, this is our former principal, the old Mr. Ding Guoqing."
"Nice to meet you, sir!"
Ling Feng hurriedly greeted and noticed the old man had to be at least seventy years old but looked energetic and rosy-faced, appearing to be in very good shape.
"No need for formalities, Mr. Ling, please, have a seat!" Ding Guoqing said.
With everyone present, Xiao Ruolan asked the waiter to serve the food.
However, eating was clearly not the main topic of the day, so after the waiter left, Xiao Ruolan looked at Ling Feng: "Mr. Ling, I only just learned about your identity as a detective from the Security Bureau. For the matter with those two students, I really must thank you!"
"Principal Xiao, you’re too courteous. It was my responsibility!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
After finishing, he continued to ask, "Are both students settled down now?"
"Yes, the incident had a huge impact. I didn’t let them return to school; they should rest at home for a while before we decide anything!" Xiao Ruolan said.
The sudden revival of the dead and their reappearance on campus would certainly lead to explosive consequences, so it was better not to let them be seen until a plan was decided upon.
Ling Feng fully understood the intentions of the school authorities and nodded, "This incident has been quite frustrating, but thankfully, it’s still under control, and we haven’t caused any significant damage!"
"I had a premonition about these things when the school was first established. That it took twenty years to happen was beyond my expectations already," Ding Guoqing said indifferently.
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Old sir, you anticipated the incidents that happened at the school?"
"That’s right, but now is not the time to discuss it. Let’s eat first, and we can talk more when we go back," Ding Guoqing said.
Hearing this, Ling Feng naturally didn’t press further and nodded in response.
After dinner, the group left the restaurant and headed to the administrative building.
Li Yun and Xiao Ruolan, the best of friends, were walking together, while Ling Feng was strolling alongside the old man through the campus. He couldn’t help but ask, "Old sir, did you single-handedly establish Ningyuan University?"
"Yes. I planned for twenty years, spent five preparing, and another three building. Only then did the university take its current form," Ding Guoqing replied, nodding.
