Chapter 535 I have a date with Tao Xian
"Lao Wang, you are such a bad old man. I am only a few years older than you. You may not be able to survive me."
As soon as Wang Zhenghong finished speaking, a strong voice came from behind them, and an old man with gray hair but good spirits walked towards the crowd with a square step.
"Hello, Principal Xia."
Lin Shi, Li Taoyao and Qiu Ning spoke politely again at the same time.
Xia Lin is the president of Northern University, one of the six famous universities in China. He is also the Water King, one of the Four Kings in Northeast China.
Although he is old and is about to retire, he is still active in the school, communicating with students about teaching. He and Vice Principal Wang have known each other for many years and they are old friends who can tease each other.
"Hehe, so, you should retire early and let me manage the school for a few years. Then I'll let you see the difference."
When what he said was heard by the original owner, Wang Zhenghong didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he turned around and looked at Xia Lin and said with a chuckle.
"Well, now that you've said that, for the sake of the students, I can't back down. Otherwise, I don't know what you're going to do to them."
Xia Lin teased his old friend without hesitation, then he looked at Lin Shi and the others and nodded slightly.
"I didn't expect you guys to come. I thought you youngsters wouldn't like such boring occasions."
Lin Shi, Qiu Ning and Li Taoyao, as the three students from Northern University who entered the national competition, have broken the best record of Northern University in this competition over the years.
There is no way around it. All that is needed for the regional contestants is to have their registered residence in the Northeast, but most of the top generation of young people in the Northeast have chosen other universities.
As a result, over the years, among the students of northern universities, especially those on campus, only one or two students have been able to enter the national competition.
This time, three places are occupied by the top eight, and among them is a very strong player like Lin Shi, which makes Northern University feel proud.
As their principal, Xia Lin had naturally met a few of them and knew something about them.
A few people chatted for a while, and as the meeting was about to officially begin, the crowd gradually separated.
This Taoxian Gathering is indeed a gathering of the top trainers in the Northeast region. After a short while, Lin Shi had already seen many familiar faces.
Jin Shikai and Jin Yao from Baishan Dojo, Zhang Tianshuo and Zhang Shuiying from Gangquan Dojo, Wei Qixing, the Heavenly King of Horse, Wang Xinbai, the Heavenly King of Rabbit, Qi Nianshuang, the Heavenly King of Snake…
The rare gathering of museum owners and superstars really broadened Lin Shi's horizons.
After greeting everyone they knew in turn, Lin Shi, Li Taoyao and Qiu Ning retreated to a corner. It was too early for young people like them with little experience to socialize here. It would be better for them to appreciate the brilliant peach blossoms in the peach garden.
"嘤嘤......"
The lively flower therapy rings were happily circling in the peach garden. They picked up the fallen peach petals in the air and stuck them on their bodies. In an instant, the originally wilted peach flowers were instantly revitalized, and then bloomed more brilliantly, filling the garden with fragrance. The flower therapy rings watched the flower therapy rings picking up and sticking flowers with great interest. Each elf became the appearance of a peach flower.
"This place should be suitable for Hua Yeti, but it's not a good time to call it out now. Let's see if there is a chance later..."
Lin Shi muttered to himself, the ocean full of peach blossoms must be the most exciting paradise for the flower petals.
While the three people were admiring the flowers, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked up to the podium in the center. The man looked young, but his expression was a little arrogant.
"It is a great honor to meet all the trainers here. This time it is my father's turn to host the Peach Fairy Gathering, but he is currently on important business and cannot return, so he asked me to apologize to everyone on his behalf."
"This man is called Zhang Zehan. He is the second son of Zhang Lao Tianwang and Zhang Yaohan's second uncle. Although he is also one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings in the Northeast, his strength is almost at the bottom. Moreover, his reputation is average and he does things by any means necessary."
Qiu Ning explained in a low voice to Lin Shi and Li Taoyao that he obviously had some knowledge of the top trainers in the Northeast region.
"Second uncle? What about Zhang Yaohan's father?"
Lin Shi asked subconsciously.
"Well, I remember that Zhang Yaohan died in an accident when he was very young. It seems that he died in a riot of elves in a secret realm. That's why Old Heavenly King Zhang loved his grandson Zhang Yaohan so much."
Qiu Ning said after thinking for a moment, and Lin Shi nodded in sudden realization. This was the first time he had heard of it.
"I also feel sympathy for his experience, but maybe because he was raised by his second uncle and was extremely doted on by old king Zhang, Zhang Yaohan is also flamboyant and high-profile in his actions. He must get what he wants and has done many shameful things."
"So, I think he definitely has other intentions by getting close to you, Taoyao. You have to be careful, Taoyao. Compared to him, Lin Shi has no disadvantages except that he has better luck with women."
Lin Shi: ...
"Do you have any evidence for saying that?"
Lin Shi shook his head and asked doubtfully.
"No."
Qiu Ning said seriously.
"Women's intuition."
Lin Shi: ...
"okay, I get it."
Li Taoyao nodded seriously, as if he had taken note of it very seriously.
……
"Then I will stop talking nonsense. I hope that all trainers can gain something from the gathering..."
"Finally, please invite Heavenly King Xia Lin to come to the stage and give a speech!"
As the only one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Northeast region who actually attended the rally, Xia Lin also gave enough face to the old Heavenly King Zhang. After all, there must be someone of sufficient weight to prove the value of this rally.
Xia Lin is worthy of being the principal. His speech is insightful and thought-provoking. Whether it is teaching people or the responsibilities as a trainer, Xia Lin explains them one by one from the simple to the complex in a clear and orderly manner.
Of course, the only problem was that Lin Shi didn't hear anything at all. As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Shi fell asleep...
"what!"
Lin Shi yawned and rubbed his head close to Li Taoyao's ear.
"let's go."
"Ah? No...you don't want to listen anymore?"
Li Taoyao's ears turned a little red, and he spoke with some stammering.
"It's okay. Principal Xia has such a close relationship with us that he won't blame us. Now that no one is paying attention, I want to go and see the peach tree where Master Tao Ran met the Peach Fairy. You should know where it is."
Lin Shi continued, his breath hitting Li Taoyao's ears, and now not only her ears but also her face turned red...
"Oh, oh, I...I know..."
Li Taoyao reacted and said subconsciously.
"That's good, let's go."
Then, Lin Shi pushed Li Taoyao and quietly slipped away behind, then gave Qiu Ning a look and said.
"Sister Qiu Ning, we have something to do. We will be back soon."
"what?"
Qiu Ning stood there in confusion.
