5 Mysterious Principal

After talking for a while with Hao Hao's mother, Sun Jiayi, Xiu Lan had a strange thought,

' Am I actively making a friend?'

She had never had any friends in her past life, only comrades in arms or associates but these people never considered her as a human, only a walking tool with benefits,

When she reincarnated in this life, the only people she knew closely were her master and Madame Jun.

She never cared nor thought of making friends, even though she felt lonely most of the time.

Excited giggling disrupted her thoughts. She looked down seeing her little bun smiling and talking animatedly with Sun Jiayi's child.

She smiled fondly at the sight,' Maybe I'm not the only one making friends'.

" So Xiu Xiu, where do you live? Maybe I can bring Hao Hao on playdate sometime soon," said Sun Jiayi her eyes gleaming with intensity as she stared at Xiu Lan.

" Xiu Xiu?"

" Yes? I can call you that right?" Sun Jiayi said her eyes glimmering.

" Uh, sure. We live at Gu Ling village close to here"

" Oh, the village near the river right? We visit there every year in the warm weather to go fishing, and it just so happens that the fishing season starts in a month!"

" Ok great, well you can come and visit then if you want?" Xiu said smiling with anticipation.

" YES! Great, you'll have to send us a letter about where you live and such. Ohh I can hardly wait!" Jiayi said giggling like a schoolgirl.

Smiling, Shu Xiu Lan thought that making friends wasn't so hard after all.

" Alright, quiet down everyone!"

Suddenly a loud shout came from in front. A middle-aged man stood in front of a podium with a strict face watching everyone below. Wearing a white robe with black embordered lining and a black sash, he cut the perfect picture of a principal.

" Hello everyone I am the vice principal Mo Tianxing. I'd like to welcome you all to Rising Phoenix Acadamy. This school is the best of the best and I would like you all to know that slackers and trash students are not welcomed here."

Murmurs passed through the crowd at his statements. A few humble background low-class parents were agitated at the cruel standards the vice principle set out, while the nobles looked at them in contempt because they did not belong there.

Xiu Lan just raised her eyebrows at his remarks but since it didn't bother her she dismissed his words afterward. However, Sun Jiayi was nervously clenching and unclenching her fists.

Noticing her odd behavior she asked, " What's wrong?"

Jia Yi sighed," Last year, my second eldest child Jun Li failed the test and the year before my oldest Peng Fan failed as well.

Jiayi looked depressed saying all this. Xiu Lan wanted to comfort her but she didn't know what to say, so she stayed silent.

" Well, I can't complain much, they got into another school in the Bai Ying kingdom and they are currently doing well over there. Even though they don't have any martial skills they will still learn and educate themselves... I can only hope Hao Hao does better this year." she looked at Hao Hao's shy face, sighed and went silent.

"There is only one test, The spirit vein test."

"This will assess whether you have spirit veins and which Element it belongs to.

Afterward, To those who pass outstandingly, you will be given the chance to be chosen by a teacher to be specially taught using the Acadamy's various resources.

Anyone who fails will be made to leave immediately. Further details will be given to those of you who pass.

Now, Newcomers, please follow me to the Testing Hall!"

After he finished, he turned and walked around a corner without looking back. The crowd quickly followed after the fast-moving vice principal. Shu Xiu Lan lazily followed along while looking around.

The Acadamy's walls were made out of some type of stone that glows lightly while giving out a warm and comfortable feeling.

Walking through a garden, Xiu Lan was amazed at the beauty of it. There were mainly beautiful Peonies and White Lotuses in the garden. Butterflies and birds were all over, flying from one flower to the next. Everyone including Xiu Lan gasped in admiration and amazement.

It looked like something straight out of a fairytale.

Shu Xiao Mei tugged excitedly on Xiu Lan's hem.

" Mama! Look its Butterflies! " she said in wonder. Following that she held out her hands and a huge and stunning Blue Emperor Ulysses Butterfly landed in her palms.

" Ohhh, so pretty!" she whispered afraid to frighten the butterfly.

Meanwhile, in front, Mo Tianxing glanced back briefly after hearing the crowd pause, only to be shocked silly looking at the scene.

" This-This," he said shocked, Mo Tianxing blinked hard wondering whether is old eyes were playing tricks on him.

That stunning looking butterfly-was the Principal!

He was supposed to attend the orientation before but was too lazy to carry out is Principal Duties and had him, Mo Tianxing take over!

That, however, was not the reason he was so shocked. The lazy and carefree Principal was severely mysophobic since young and has never touched others other than his mother and late grandmother.

Even when he uses his other forms his disorder doesn't go away.

So him landing in someone's hands, completely warps his views in life.

"Ok, maybe the kid was cute or special so his mysophobia doesn't work with her, maybe that's it?" Mo Tianxing muttered skeptically trying to make himself believe his words,

However, he almost spat out blood when he saw the Principal's next move.
