Chapter 418: Chapter 369: The Principal is Lin Yi’s Uncle?

At first, they hadn’t really noticed anything.

They just thought that maybe Lin Yi’s talent was exceptional, and the school was being particularly lenient with him.

It wasn’t until today that the truth finally came out.

It had nothing to do with talent.

There was only one reason... Lin Yi had connections. Principal Tang was his uncle-in-law?

Once they figured that out, everything else made sense.

At the same time, Wei Nan and Zhou Qi were filled with envy.

"Damn, it really pays to have friends in high places!"

"Even if you stir up a whole world of trouble, there’s always someone to clean up the mess!"

Wei Nan said with a laugh.

As soon as he finished, Zhou Qi shot him a look. "Lin Yi has connections, but haven’t we been benefiting too? If it weren’t for Lin Yi, we wouldn’t even be qualified to live in the Zone 1 dorms!"

"That’s true, and I don’t think that’s the only thing we’ve benefited from.

Think about it carefully!"

"Besides the school giving Lin Yi special treatment, haven’t the Demon Hunting Bureau and the Town Martial Department also been incredibly partial to him? Even when he gets into fights and causes trouble, no one ever holds him accountable!"

"I didn’t really think about it before, not until Lin Yi was appointed as the General Director of the Town Martial Department!"

"Now I get it. This was all premeditated, wasn’t it?"

It was as if a light bulb went on in Wei Nan’s head.

He started connecting it to a lot of other things, growing suspicious of the Demon Hunting Bureau and the Town Martial Department as well.

"The Demon Hunting Bureau is one thing. After all, there’s Brother Chu. They knew each other back in the Old District, so it’s normal for Brother Chu to give Lin Yi special treatment!"

"I’m just a little curious why the Town Martial Department takes such good care of Lin Yi too.

They even arranged for Wei Shang and Feng Lei to come over from the very beginning. That was clearly premeditated!"

"Do you guys think the director of the Town Martial Department might be Lin Yi’s grandfather or something?"

Sun Tao said with a mysterious look on his face.

The words had barely left his mouth when Wei Nan and Zhou Qi both couldn’t help but laugh.

"That theory doesn’t hold water at all. The director’s surname is He, and Lin Yi’s surname is Lin. They’re completely unrelated. Aren’t you just trying to force a connection where there isn’t one?"

"Exactly. Don’t just make stuff up. Talking nonsense can get you in trouble!"

Wei Nan and Zhou Qi both started chiding him.

Sun Tao scratched his head. "Well, that’s true. But then you two tell me, why does the Town Martial Department value Lin Yi so much?

They even arranged for Wei Shang and Feng Lei to be with us before we had even properly started at the school?"

As for Sun Tao’s question, Wei Nan and Zhou Qi really had no answer.

If Lin Yi didn’t have any relatives in the Town Martial Department, then why did they give him such special treatment?

In fact, you couldn’t even call it special treatment anymore; it was practically indulgence.

They didn’t care when Lin Yi caused trouble, but if anyone dared to provoke Lin Yi, the Town Martial Department would definitely target them. This was more than just simple favoritism.

It was more like they couldn’t stand to see Lin Yi suffer even the slightest grievance.

What was the reason for that?

Just as the three of them were racking their brains and getting nowhere,

Wei Nan finally said, "Forget it. What’s the point of thinking so much!"

"In any case, we’ve all benefited a ton from following Lin Yi!"

"This is a favor, a huge favor.

Whether it’s the composite potions Sister Qingru gives us every month, or all the other special treatment we’ve enjoyed because of him, wouldn’t we have any of it if it wasn’t for Lin Yi?"

"As long as we aren’t ungrateful bastards in the future, we’ll be fine!"

Hearing this, Zhou Qi and Sun Tao both nodded in agreement.

The three of them didn’t follow the others out. Instead, they turned and headed upstairs.

"Oh, right. You just said you guys might be going back to the Old District for a mission?"

Zhou Qi asked curiously.

Wei Nan nodded. "SHH! Keep your voices down. This is a top secret mission from the Martial Department!"

"Don’t you two go leaking it!"

"Got it, got it..."

"Wait, why are you two so interested in this? What are you thinking?"

"W-Well, no reason in particular. We’re just jealous, is all. You guys are basically returning home in glory!"

"How about I take you two back with me? Let you have a glorious homecoming of your own?"

Zhou Qi and Sun Tao: "..."
