Chapter 194: 187 Brother Hug, those who looked down on the boss regretted it too late [2 more updates]
He was so startled that he jumped up: “This this this…”
Ying Zijin looked at the three cards she had flipped over, her pupils slowly deepening: “Don’t speak.”
The vice-principal hurriedly covered his mouth, holding his breath.
The first card, The Hanged Man, number “12”, the thirteenth of The Major Arcana, Reversed Position.
The second card, Chariot, number “7”, the eighth of The Major Arcana, Reversed Position.
The third card, blank.
There is such a thing as blank Tarot Cards, which are usually substitute cards.
They can replace other cards when they are missing.
But earlier, when Ying Zijin was using the Tarot Cards for divination, she certainly hadn’t brought over the blank card.
This is the difference between real Tarot Cards and those that circulate on the market.
Only real Tarot Cards possess the ability to divine.
Once the blank card becomes the chosen card, that too is meaningful.
The vice-principal didn’t know how to divine, but he was familiar with Tarot Cards.
Whether it’s the Reversed Position Hanged Man or Chariot, the implications are not good.
They represent failure and disadvantage.
Which is to say, things are looking bad for Norton at the moment.
As for the blank card, the vice-principal couldn’t figure it out.
“Two months ago, he left here to find new Alchemical materials,” said Ying Zijin, her voice cold and low, “but it was also his first time going to that place, so it’s very unfavorable.”
“However, there’s no danger to his life within the next year, which is good news.”
Hearing this, the vice-principal sighed in relief.
If the Diviner says there is none, then there is none.
But where on earth did the principal run off to?
It couldn’t possibly be the Alchemy world, could it?
But it wouldn’t be Norton’s first time in the Alchemy world either.
“More and more people are paying attention to this place, I must leave now.” Ying Zijin gathered the cards, “I’ve fortified the school’s firewall for you, don’t be so reckless in the future.”
The vice-principal was still pondering other places that could yield alchemical materials when he was startled by her words, almost toppling over: “Fortified, fortified the firewall?”
The girl gave him a look.
That look, as if regarding a piece of scrap metal.
“Thank you so much,” the vice-principal said, wiping his sweat, “Ah, that’s a problem too, with technology so advanced nowadays, your identity is bound to be discovered sooner or later.”
“Mmhmm,” Ying Zijin shouldered her backpack, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, “But not yet.”
The incident with He Xun spread from one person to another, until the entire Verdant knew about it.
All three grades of the International Class felt they had lost face.
They previously had a great deal of respect for He Xun, never imagining he wasn’t truly a graduate of Norton University.
Not only that, he was so arrogant, but for whose benefit?
Today, the third year of high school students had also returned.
In a week, the college entrance examination results would be out, and it would be time to choose university programs.
Verdant had its own university application planners, analyzing each student’s strengths and weaknesses, helping them plan their college majors.
“Tinglan, did you hear?” the class president ran back from the office full of excitement, laughing and slapping the desk, “That petty-minded He Xun actually had his degree revoked by Norton University, serves him right, totally deserves it!”
Wen Tinglan still wasn’t used to socializing and merely nodded: “I heard, thank you.”
“Tinglan, he’s just a moron, don’t take his words to heart,” the class president said, remembering what Ying Zijin had told him and started comforting the boy, “You have an IQ of 228, which is an extremely rare genius, and Imperial Capital University isn’t bad either, it’ll crush us in no time.”
It seemed something else had occurred to him, so he asked: “Tinglan, have you decided which major you want to apply for? Imperial Capital University’s Department of Physics is world-class.”
“I don’t want to study physics,” Wen Tinglan paused for a moment, “I’ll wait until the results are out.”
“Right, right, and that Miss Bai from Biology in the second year,” the class president slapped his forehead, “It’s said she had someone steal your admission ticket, and she got her just deserts too.”
“The Dean said Miss Bai is locked up now, Tinglan, you seem to have an automatic rebound system, everyone who messes with you ends up in trouble, I need to worship you too.”
Hearing this, Wen Tinglan lifted his lashes, his gaze puzzled.
Why did he feel, all of this was related to his sister?
What on earth happened during his sister’s year in Shanghai City?
“You guys talk amongst yourselves.” Wen Tinglan packed his bag, “I’m going to go home.”
Ying Zijin had returned yesterday.
Only Wen Fengmian, Wen Tinglan, Old Master Zhong, and Fu Yunshen knew about her trip to O Continent.
She went back home first before visiting Elder Zhong in the old Zhong family mansion.
