It was 5 p.m. when the cla.s.s ended, and the students left the cla.s.sroom. However, Hong Zhuang remained sitting at the back of the cla.s.sroom. She did not look like she was planning to leave.

"You guys should sit down and catch up since it"s been a year since the last time the both of you saw each other. I shall make a move first!" Qin Tianxing said.

He then left immediately as he did not want to bother the both of them.

Seeing that Qin Tianxing had left, Lin Huang anch.o.r.ed his eyes on the cla.s.sroom door and shut it immediately with Telekinesis. He then looked at Hong Zhuang solemnly.

"Alright, the top management staff of Purple Crow who risked her life by sealing her combat level to enter the White Capital, what is your intention of being here?"

"I"m here… To look for you, of course." Hong Zhuang"s eyes lit up as she sensed Lin Huang"s confidence that had grown over the year. She was even more interested in him now since he had experienced a significant change, especially the Telekinesis that he had just performed. He could not do that a year ago.

"Really? I"m using my own ident.i.ty to join the Martial Hunter College. I"ve never disguised myself since day one. That means the Purple Crow would know that I"ve been teaching here since 1 September. It"s the end of September now. You"re only here after more than two and a half months. If you"re here really here for me, you would"ve been here more than two months ago." Lin Huang knew very well that she was lying.

"I"ve been busy for the past two months. Didn"t I come here for you once I had the time?" Hong Zhuang remained smiling.

"Where"s your partner? Did he join the college as well?" Since Lin Huang changed the subject since he could not get anything out of her.

"This is my personal mission. Why would I bring any partners?" Hong Zhuang remained calm as she answered.

"You might be able to trick others but not me. The Purple Crow would send two persons even if it"s a personal mission. Even if your partner isn"t joining your mission, he would definitely be in the same foothold as you are."

Lin Huang knew the Purple Crow"s rules very well whereby it was mandatory for two persons to be on the same mission. If it were a bigger mission, they would even bring teams of holy fire-level members. Even if it were a personal affair, the team would still consist of two persons. Basically, no matter where the partner was, the other person would follow, so it made sense for the other person to be in the same foothold.

"What if I told you that we"ve changed the rules in partnering? Would you believe me?" Hong Zhuang smirked.

"Who would believe that!?" Lin Huang thought to himself.

"Alright then, I shall change my question. Since you"re here for me, tell me what you"re here for," Lin Huang demanded after a moment of silence since he failed to get anything out of her.

"It"s simple. We want you to join us." Hong Zhuang opened her arms wide, looking innocent.

"I refuse to. If that"s your intention here, you can leave now." Lin Huang stared at her, hoping to look for any loopholes, but there was none.

"That"s not possible. If you don"t join us, I"ll have to stay in the college to annoy you until… You come with me." Hong Zhuang winked at him.

"Your combat level is being sealed now. Aren"t you afraid that I"ll kill you?" Lin Huang squinted as he exuded a terrifying vibe.

"Please do that if you can, but think about the consequences…" Hong Zhuang turned around after glaring at Lin Huang.

"What a happy bunch of young kids, so full of energy…" She looked at the students downstairs.

Her threat was obvious. Lin Huang then retracted his aura. He knew very well what the Purple Crow was capable of doing. If he killed Hong Zhuang, all of the teachers and students might become the sacrifice that would end up being buried together with her dead body. Lin Huang soon noticed that Hong Zhuang was not the biggest threat. The biggest threat was her partner who was hiding somewhere that he was not aware of. There were also Purple Crow teams in the foothold that could destroy the White Capital.

Lin Huang had the thought of reporting her to the Union Government or the Hunter a.s.sociation. However, the thought did not linger long in his mind. He knew that the Purple Crow would usually have two groups in every mission or even three groups when the mission was a big one. If group A"s operation were interrupted, group B would be sent to cover them immediately. If group B were to be interrupted as well, group C would come and it would take one or two hours, at the most, to finish what group A and group B could not manage to complete. It was futile to report Hong Zhuang. As soon group A, which was probably led by her, noticed that something was wrong, they would retreat immediately and be replaced by group B that was hiding somewhere. By then, things could go out of hand as Lin Huang would not know who group B was even if they b.u.mped into each other.

"Actually, it feels good to be a teacher. I"ve never attended college before. Although I"ve only been here for a couple of days, I"ve fallen in love with the environment here," Hong Zhuang said out of nowhere.

"These kids are completely different from those in the Purple Crow. They"re much more pumped up. Sometimes, I feel young just by watching them."

"It"s weird to hear that coming from you," Lin Huang teased.

"I don"t want to interrupt your work here in the White Capital, but if you"re targeting the college, I advise you to stop or else, you"ll definitely regret!" He added.

"I"ve made it clear that I"m here for you. Why can"t you just believe me?"

"I"m going for dinner now," Lin Huang interrupted Hong Zhuang.

"Oh, let"s go! I"m hungry as well." Hong Zhuang stood up slowly.

"I don"t feel hungry anymore. You go ahead yourself. I"m going to read at the library." Lin Huang helplessly turned around and headed to the entrance.

"Ah, I don"t feel hungry anymore too. I shall head to the library." Hong Zhuang smiled at Lin Huang.

"You go ahead then. I"m going back to my dorm." Lin Huang walked out of the building, heading to the dorm, and Hong Zhuang followed.

"Can you stop following me? The library is in the other direction." Lin Huang stood still and glared at Hong Zhuang as he pointed at 10 o"clock from where they were.

"n.o.body"s following you. I"m going back to the dorm as well. We"re going in the same direction." Hong Zhuang walked a few steps ahead and stopped.

"Oh yeah, my dorm is just next to yours. I got your neighbor to move out on Wednesday, so we"re now neighbors. I"ll be visiting you often!"

"This woman…" Lin Huang was speechless.
