Someone suddenly remembered an interesting rumor from before. Apparently, an outstanding freshman had tried to woo a girl who had transferred to Qinghe University from another school. However, that girl said the students of their university all led a very sheltered life.
The rumored girl was Yang Xiaojin, and she had said, “You think that the president of the Student Council is outstanding because you guys haven’t had a chance to see the outside world yet. The guy I like has never led a pampered life.”
And that president of the Student Council referred to Xu Zhi himself.
Xu Zhi was an excellent student and a member of the Xu clan. Therefore, he had always been the most outstanding student in school since childhood.
When this rumor reached Xu Zhi’s ears, he just laughed it off. However, a senior female student who admired Xu Zhi went to look for that girl and asked her, “You said that our Qinghe University students all lead a pampered life?”
But even in the face of being questioned, Yang Xiaojin still stuck to her answer.
Now that Xu Zhi thought about what the girl had said, he realized he used to be really sheltered. However, he started wondering what kind of guy the girl admired was like. Was he as strong as that young man he just met?
But while thinking about that, his mind couldn’t help wandering towards Zhou Yingxue’s image. The woman who had saved him suddenly appeared in his memories, exuding an alluring but dangerous aura. How could a woman like her be someone else’s maid?
Four hours after Ren Xiaosu left with Zhou Yingxue, a convoy suddenly arrived. Xu Zhi got up and said, “Dad, why’d you come here personally?”
Xu Zhi’s father took a look around. When he found that the students were all fine, he said with a smile, “I’m here to pick you up.”
Xu Zhi asked, “What about Wang Baijun’s uncle, Wang Bingjun?”
“He’s been apprehended. Is this fat boy Wang Baijun?” Xu Zhi’s father smiled at his subordinate next to him and said, “Bring him back and lock him up in jail with his uncle. Don’t let him out ever again. By the way, Little Zhi, where’s the people who saved you?”
Xu Zhi felt somewhat lost as he looked in the direction where Zhou Yingxue and Ren Xiaosu had disappeared off to. He said, “They left after killing the kidnappers.”
“Do you know their identities?” Xu Zhi’s father frowned.
“I don’t know.” Xu Zhi shook his head. “They didn’t have any identification on them and I didn’t even manage to get a clear look at the young man’s face. But if I see them again, I can definitely recognize them.”
That was because that young man possessed a unique aura that was calm yet full of strength.
…
After the students were rescued, they took a short, one-week break before returning to school. The incident in which Xu Zhi, the president of the Student Council, was nearly kidnapped in the wilderness was already spreading.
After all, there were many other students present at the time of the attempted kidnapping. It was just like a legend in a story for the students who experienced it, so they would brag to their classmates without restraint. Moreover, Xu Zhi did not say they could not talk about it.
Details of the matter spread very quickly in school. As Xu Zhi was the protagonist of the story, and being the president of the Student Council, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Furthermore, Xu Zhi’s unyielding attitude towards the kidnappers was unanimously praised by his classmates. Not anyone could remain calm while being held at gunpoint and facing certain death.
The girls who admired Xu Zhi felt they had not fallen for the wrong person after all.
After this incident, Xu Zhi became somewhat famous within the Qinghe Group. Disregarding whether he was capable or not, at least he was a bold person.

But Xu Zhi’s matter merely served as an embellishment to the story. The other students were more interested in the man and woman who had rescued Xu Zhi.
Rumor had it that Xu Zhi was saved by a female superhuman. When she emerged from the forest, she looked as graceful as a swan, while her eyes sparkled like limpid autumn waters.
She was capable of controlling plants that helped to trap the mercenaries in place before strangling them to death with the vines of the plant.
After what she did, everyone seemed to have forgotten about Zhou Yingxue’s hogging of the ripened jujube tree and other similar matters. They could only remember the sight of her killing those mercenaries.
However, this was not the main focus of the story. The main point was that she actually had a grandpa.
A student who was listening to the story wondered, “What’s the big deal about having a grandpa? Isn’t that something very normal? I have a grandpa too. I call my father’s father ‘Grandfather,’ while my mother’s father is called ‘Grandpa…’”
The student telling the story was dumbfounded. “I’m not fucking referring to ‘grandpa.’ I’m talking about the ‘master'[1] in a master-servant relationship! This female superhuman’s master is very young. In fact, he might even be younger than us.”
The students listening to the story now understood. “Oh, I see! You meant master!”
To these students who were still living in an ivory tower, the story itself was already legendary enough. A mysterious young sniper leading his maid around in the wilderness would always arouse the yearnings of many people.
The male students all hoped to be that young sniper. Sprawling drunk while in a beauty’s lap, holding the world’s power while sober. Just the thought of that made them extremely excited!
Meanwhile, the girls felt it would be quite romantic to follow such a young man and wander the world.
Of course, the story also made these students who lived in an ivory tower understand the outside world had become mystical and dangerous.
Yang Xiaojin was also listening to the story. All the girls in the classroom were discussing it with great enthusiasm, but only she was sitting quietly in the corner.
A female student said excitedly while chatting, “Wow, a sniper! That young man must be very handsome, right? For someone as powerful and mysterious as him, even I would like to be his maid as well! Although that might sound pretty feudal, it still feels pretty nice.”
Of course, they did not know that Yang Xiaojin, who was sitting beside them, was actually an existence that felt like the top of the pyramid to other snipers.
A girl spun around and asked Yang Xiaojin, “Xiaojin, since you’re from outside of Luoyang City, can you tell us what it’s like out there? Is it really as dangerous as they put it?”
Yang Xiaojin calmly looked at them. “It’s a little more dangerous than what they described.”
To someone like Yang Xiaojin, it seemed there were not many secrets left in this world. Therefore, the world was 10,000 times more dangerous to her than what the eyes of these girls could see.
Kill or be killed.
A female student said with a smile, “Xiaojin, you said that you don’t like guys who lead a pampered life. Then what about that young sniper?”
Yang Xiaojin said, “I already have someone I like.”
After saying that, Yang Xiaojin continued taking notes with lowered head as she prepared for the lessons today. Since the paper crane she had been waiting for did not arrive yet, she could only put her concentration on her studies.
The girl next to her muttered, “Then I’m sure that the person that you like is not as powerful as the young man we’re talking about.”
