Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

After the Divine Armor was completed, Wang Xian rested for three days before leaving the Wang family territory with Qin Chong, intending to head to Xingquan City.

Without alerting anyone, he simply greeted Wang Qi and boarded his private aircraft, heading south.

The aircraft flew smoothly above the clouds, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from the bustling capital to the green mountains and clear waters of the south, with a touch of humid warmth in the air.

It was already afternoon when we arrived in Xingquan City, Nanshao Province.

As Wang Xian stepped off the aircraft, a question suddenly occurred to him.

He's a celebrity in Daxia now, and he'd probably be recognized if he walked down the street.

Qin Chong was also very conspicuous; wherever the two of them went, they were like torches in the dark.

Wang Xian thought for a moment, then raised his hand and cast a small spell on each of the two.

The techniques are not complicated; they simply make their appearance more ordinary in the eyes of others, so that they won't attract attention.

"Little fairy, what are you doing?" Qin Chong looked down at himself, not noticing any changes.

"To avoid being stared at," Wang Xian patted his arm. "Let's go back to Jinwu Academy first."

Jinwu Academy is considered a good institution of learning in Nanzhao Province, and Wang Xian spent three years there.

He lived a very ordinary life for those three years, attending classes, practicing martial arts, doing odd jobs, and getting meals at the cafeteria every day. Those days were very ordinary.

Although the principal eventually colluded with the Bai family to bully him and almost cost him his life, apart from that incident, his memories of those three years were not bad.

That principal was later investigated and imprisoned; it's been over two years now.

Wang Xian thought of this and sighed silently in her heart.

Unfortunately, the principal suffered acute iron poisoning in the end, otherwise I could have gone to see him now.

Now that so much time has passed, the other person must be two years old by now. They really seem to be getting younger with age!

Of course, they might also be reborn as animals.

The two walked slowly into the gates of Jinwu Academy.

The campus remains the same as always.

People were running laps on the playground, and bursts of spiritual energy could be heard from the training ground. Groups of students were chatting in the square in front of the teaching building.

As Wang Xian walked among them, looking at these young faces, she suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

He was once one of them, wearing a school uniform, carrying textbooks, and rushing to the cafeteria to grab food during breaks.

At that time, he had nothing but S-level talent, and he had no idea that his path would lead him to where he is today.

Qin Chong followed behind him, looking left and right, muttering, "This place is much smaller than Tsinghua and Peking Universities." He only shut up after Wang Xian glared at him.

As the two passed by the training ground, several female students happened to walk by.

The girl walking at the front suddenly stopped and looked back at Wang Xian.

She tilted her head, her gaze lingering on his face for two seconds, then leaned close to her companion's ear and whispered something.

Several girls turned to look at them at the same time, their eyes lighting up.

"Excuse me, are you new here? I don't think I've seen you before." The girl stepped forward with a smile. "I'm Zhou Xiaoxiao from Class 1, Grade 3. Shall we get to know each other?"

Wang Xian was slightly taken aback, then shook her head: "I'm not new here, I just came back to visit."

"Back to visit?" Zhou Xiaoxiao blinked, about to ask again, when another girl next to her grabbed her arm and whispered, "Okay, Xiaoxiao, stop bothering him."

The girls walked away laughing.

Even after walking a distance, you could still hear them whispering: "That guy has such a great presence. Although his looks... are a bit strange, he just has that special quality..."

Qin Chong stood aside, grinning foolishly.

Wang Xian sighed helplessly and continued walking forward.

After touring the teaching building and training ground, I went to the dormitory building where I used to live.

The building has been renovated; the exterior walls have been repainted, and the windows have been replaced with thicker psionic glass.

He stood downstairs for a while but didn't go in.

When I walked out of the school gate.

Wang Xian was preparing to take Qin Chong to the next place when he suddenly heard a commotion ahead.

He looked up and saw a hovercar parked on the side of the road outside the school gate.

The car is entirely black with smooth lines. It's the latest luxury model on the market, and its exterior alone is enough to feed an average family for three years.

The car window was half open, and you could see a young man sitting in the driver's seat. He was dressed smartly, his hair was neatly combed, and he was leaning back in his seat, looking out the window with an impatient expression.

There was a young girl in the passenger seat, wearing a light pink dress, with long hair and a pretty face. She was looking down, so her expression was not visible.

In front of the car, a boy in an ordinary school uniform was blocking the road.

He looked to be under twenty years old, thin, with an anxious and embarrassed expression on his face. His hands were trembling slightly, but he stubbornly stood there, refusing to move aside.

"Lingling! Come down here! Explain yourself!" The boy's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had been calling for a long time.

There was no response from inside the car.

The boy took another step forward, his voice louder: "Lingling, that jade pendant was left to me by my grandmother. I've worn it since I was little. You said you liked it, so I gave it to you! How could you just give it to someone else!"

A large crowd had already gathered on the surrounding streets.

Some people shook their heads and sighed, while others whispered among themselves.

Wang Xian led Qin Chong curiously over and stood on the periphery of the crowd, watching quietly.

He heard the whispers of several students around him.

"Isn't that Yuan Tianzhen from the third grade? The one who's in the top ten of the grade."

"Yeah, I heard he and his girlfriend Xu Ling had been together since junior high school, and their relationship was really good. I don't know what happened, but recently Xu Ling suddenly broke up with him and started dating this Wang Feixiang."

"Who is Wang Feixiang? I've never seen him before."

"You don't know? He's the number one young master in Xingquan City, his family is rich and powerful. Look at that car of his, it must have cost at least five million spirit stones."

"Yuan Tianzhen is also pitiful. His family is not well-off, and he got into the top ten in his grade entirely on his own. That jade pendant is said to have really been left by his grandmother. He has always treasured it and gave it to Xu Ling as a token of their love. Now Xu Ling has given it to Wang Feixiang. Who can stand that?"

As Wang Xian listened to these discussions, her gaze fell on the boy named Yuan Tianzhen.

The boy was still standing in front of the car, his back view looking both stubborn and vulnerable.

At this time.

The hovercar's door finally opened.

The young man in the driver's seat got out.

Wang Feixiang is nearly 1.8 meters tall. He is dressed in a brand-name psionic outfit and wears an expensive psionic watch on his wrist. From head to toe, he exudes the demeanor of a rich young master.

He walked up to Yuan Tianzhen, raised his chin slightly, looked down at him with a condescending gaze, and had a half-smile on his lips.

"You're Yuan Tianzhen?" Wang Feixiang spoke, his voice low but full of contempt. "I've heard of you."

"Top ten in the grade, that's pretty hard-working, but a poor bastard like you shouldn't embarrass yourself here."

Yuan Tianzhen raised her head, her lips pressed into a thin line: "Give me back the jade pendant."

"Give it back to you?" Wang Feixiang chuckled, glancing back at Xu Ling in the car. "Lingling, did you hear that? He's here to ask for the jade pendant back. Tell him whose it is now."

Xu Ling remained silent inside the car.

Wang Feixiang turned around, took out a piece of jade pendant that was entirely green from his pocket, and twirled it on his fingertip.

The jade was of average quality and not particularly valuable, but the carving was exquisite, and it was clearly quite old.
