Playing Black First

"Dean, I did it!"

"Thank you, Dean, for helping me gain this tremendous opportunity!"

Lin Ye descended from the fiery lotus with an excited look and bowed deeply to Gu Lan. At this moment, he was overwhelmingly emotional. He had never dreamed that after just breaking through in his cultivation, he would also advance his physical constitution and even gain the divine ability of the Red Lotus Eye. All of this felt surreal to him, yet the surging power within his body assured him that it was real.

Lin Ye's admiration for Gu Lan had reached an extreme, akin to a mighty river, ceaseless and unending.

"You don't need to thank me."

"As your dean, it's my duty to help you."

"As a teacher, protecting my students is a responsibility I cannot shirk."

Gu Lan waved his hand, signaling Lin Ye not to be so formal.

Lin Ye was about to say more when he suddenly felt the sky darken. Overhead, above Lanyan Royal School, a vast dark cloud appeared.

No, it wasn't a cloud.
