Wisdom

Bang! The door of the principal’s office was suddenly pushed open forcefully. Bai Yu stepped in with her long, straight legs first, holding a document in her hand. She said excitedly, “Grand-uncle, there’s a reply from the Candlelight Army!” The kind smile on Bai Jingting’s face faded away. He frowned, looking extremely displeased. “Don’t you know how to knock? What have I taught you? When facing important matters, one should remain calm. Acting so rashly, what does it look like? You’re a teacher, but you’re not even as good as your students. Go out and come in again!” Wang Yi, who was deep in thought, was a bit surprised when he heard Bai Jingting’s words. First, he didn’t expect this seemingly kind principal to suddenly become so strict. Second… so this school really belongs to Bai Yu’s family! But then Wang Yi felt something was wrong and secretly cursed. It was okay for the principal to scold Bai Yu, but as the saying goes, one should not scold their child in front of others, nor their spouse in the hall. He, as an on - looker, was still sitting here. Moreover, scolding was one thing, but why use him for comparison? This was definitely going to make her hate him! You’re her grandfather, and she can’t do anything to you. But I’m her student and still have to get by under her. Hey, this old man. I should have barged in without knocking too when I came here! Although Wang Yi remained calm on the surface, he was secretly complaining in his heart. Bai Yu was suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water, and the excitement in her heart faded a lot. She turned to see Wang Yi sitting obediently on one side, trying hard to make himself invisible. She raised her slender eyebrows and squeezed out a sentence through her teeth. “Got it, Principal! I’ll definitely learn from my good student!” Snap! Bai Yu turned around and left. The door of the principal’s office closed again, and then there came loud “bang bang” knocking sounds, which made Wang Yi’s heart tremble. Is this girl going to hold a grudge? Her performance definitely shows that she is! Come on, what does your being scolded have to do with me! What a world! “Come in!” “Principal, the Candlelight Army has given a reply.” Bai Yu reported in a proper manner. Bai Jingting nodded with a straight face, took the document and casually threw it aside without replying. He just got up and walked towards Wang Yi. Wang Yi also quickly stood up. “Student Wang Yi, in the future, whether it’s in life or study, if you encounter any problems, you can seek the school’s help. Lanling Magic High School will not only be your alma mater in the future, but also your strong backing.” Bai Jingting patted Wang Yi on the shoulder and said so. “Yes, I’ll definitely study hard and live up to the school’s cultivation.” A look of excitement and awe appeared on Wang Yi’s face as he pretended to be. “Okay, Student Wang Yi, you can go back to class first. If you encounter problems in the future, you can seek help from your class teacher here.” Bai Yu secretly curled her lips. Bai Jingting waved his hand, and Wang Yi felt as if he had received amnesty. Without even looking at Bai Yu, he trotted out of the principal’s office. After the door closed, Bai Jingting sat back at his office desk and picked up the document he had just thrown to read again. Bai Yu wanted to talk about the problem of the Candlelight Army and also ask about Wang Yi’s situation, but she opened her mouth several times and stopped short of speaking. After a minute or two, Bai Jingting threw the document on the table. Only then did Bai Yu find that this document was actually Wang Yi’s information. Bai Yu curiously picked up the document to check. It recorded detailed information about Wang Yi, including his family history for three generations, magic talent, primary and secondary school grades, evaluations from the welfare home, daily travel routes, consumption situations, and even his website browsing records. It even includeincludeed all the questions Wang Yi had just searched on the computer last night. With Bai Jingting’s authority, it was extremely easy for him to investigate the students in his school. “What do you see?” Bai Jingting asked after waiting quietly for Bai Yu to finish reading Wang Yi’s information. “Did he really lose his memory?” Bai Yu was a bit surprised. The dense search records at the end of the information showed that Wang Yi’s home computer had been intermittently searching for various questions from 18:42 last night until 03:35 this morning. The keywords includeincludeed world geography, modern history, the Constitution of China, major news, magic classification, mage ranks, the Demon Abyss, monster introductions, mage rules, how to absorb magic crystals, Lanling Magic High School, characteristic magic, exclusive magic, passive magic, etc. “Don’t you think he was controlled by a spiritual – type sacred beast?” Bai Jingting rarely showed a smile in front of Bai Yu. “Not to mention that Wang Yi’s life trajectory has been clear since childhood and he has never left Lanling City. He simply has no chance of being controlled by a spiritual – type sacred beast. Moreover, even if he was really invaded by a sacred beast’s thoughts, he wouldn’t search for these things, because Lin Qingyu didn’t lose his memory back then.” Bai Yu pointed to the long list of questions about magic and monsters in the search records: “Especially about this knowledge, it knows more than we do.” Bai Jingting agreed: “There wouldn’t even be those questions about the human world before. Lin Qingyu knew enough basic knowledge about the human world.” “Is it possible that he’s pretending? Searching for these things on purpose?” Bai Yu thought for a while and then asked. “Unnecessary.” Bai Jingting leaned back on the chair gently, as if he had relaxed a lot. “The most important basis for judgment is that Wang Yi has never been to the Demon Abyss. I don’t think a spiritual – type sacred beast can bypass the guards at the Demon Abyss and sneak into China. Even if those foreigners abroad are useless and let the spiritual – type sacred beast sneak in from their side of the Demon Abyss and come to China to cause trouble, it can’t shield the monitoring network and easily cast an epic – grade magic without being detected. Especially since the magic monitoring network has only been built for three years. Even if the spiritual – type sacred beast knows about it, it's Impossible to find a way to shield it.” “Of course, the above are all reasonable inferences. What I believe most is what I just saw – there is no residual spiritual – type magic fluctuation on him.” “Can you still tell after a whole day?” Bai Yu seemed a bit incredulous and asked curiously. “You know nothing about the extraordinary.” Bai Jingting taught her a lesson and then explained to her, “Of course, I can accurately judge it also thanks to the legendary – grade spiritual magic I absorbed.” Bai Jingting didn’t mention that he had just cast hypnosis and truth – telling spells on Wang Yi. As an extraordinary mage, treating a junior mage, who was also his student, like this was not exactly honorable. “Extraordinary, extraordinary. It’s always about the extraordinary. I get it!” Bai Yu was very dissatisfied. “It’s useless for you to say so much. I’m just a middle – rank mage, and I’m still far from being extraordinary.” “I’m just reminding you that if you want to see different scenery, the extraordinary is the threshold you must cross.” “Then I don’t have to write the report, right?” Bai Yu asked tentatively. “No need. As long as he’s not controlled by a monster, he’s an ordinary citizen of China and an orphan of a martyr. As long as he doesn’t betray the country or break the law, then other problems are not big ones. Later, submit a scholarship application for him. Make sure he gets it every time during his three – year study here.” Bai Jingting first set the tone and then self – deprecatingly said, “I also thought about it all night yesterday and felt that I was really being too sensitive. The main reason for the heavy losses in the Battle of Leaving the Abyss was the intelligence problem. People can’t imagine things they don’t understand. Before that, who could have thought that the spiritual type could control thoughts and the spatial type could open up a virtual realm and block passages. But now that the spiritual and spatial types have emerged, there will never be a second Battle of Leaving the Abyss.” “The most powerful weapon for humans to fight against monsters has always been wisdom.”
