The doors to the middle carriage of the subway opened.

The attendant who had previously blocked the boy’s way personally alighted and respectfully welcomed the girl aboard.

She was standing sideways to them, and although she was far away, her profile was clearly visible.

He Xun followed the direction of the boy’s voice and managed to catch a glimpse of a profile before the girl boarded the subway.

After the doors closed, the subway departed.

The underground subway station became empty, devoid of other people.

“How could that be?” laughed students from the International Class nearby, “Teacher He brought us here and even used a pass, so even if she is the top of her second-year class, she doesn’t belong to Norton University.”

Without a pass, even if someone made it inside that phone booth, they wouldn’t be able to reach this underground subway station.

Another student from the International Class commented, “Yeah, even if she wanted to save face and follow us, she couldn’t get in.”

With both companions saying so, the boy hesitated, “I must have been mistaken, but…”

Ying Zijin’s face was too distinctive, Verdant’s reputation too widespread.

Once seen, even if just in profile, it was unforgettable.

He surely couldn’t have mistaken someone else for her, simply because he was too excited about entering Norton University, could he?

He Xun didn’t really believe that Ying Zijin would be here either, finding the notion rather far-fetched.

The person that would be personally received by Norton University’s vice chancellor wasn’t even someone the president of Imperial Capital University would qualify to meet.

The strength of Norton University as the world’s number one was insurmountable and far ahead of the rest.

It had to be someone from the very top echelons of the academic world.

He Xun didn’t give it much more thought.

Forget about the vice chancellor, in his four years at Norton University, he hadn’t seen a single member of the management team.

As a student of a D-level faculty, he never came into contact with the core of Norton University.

On the subway.

The interior of this subway car was completely different from the outside.

Adhering to the style of the Middle Ages and Ancient Rome, it had candelabras and oil paintings next to the windows.

There were no seats, but rather coffee tables, sofas, and bookshelves.

It didn’t resemble a train carriage, but more a lavish room.

Ying Zijin glanced up and noticed one of the paintings, heavy with the Baroque style.

Clearly a work of Qinuo Feng.

And an original at that.

The most expensive painting by Qinuo Feng had been auctioned for a high price of 300 million US dollars.

Even in the time of Ancient O Continent, his paintings were considered precious.

Being one of the masters sponsored by the Lorentz Family, the majority of Qinuo Feng’s works were preserved within the Lorentz Family’s possession.

Many are still kept in Xize’s underground treasure vault.

This particular one was part of the compensation received by Norton University’s president after using Alchemy to alter Qinuo Feng’s body.

The attendant had left, leaving only the vice chancellor, who had been sitting upright, eagerly waiting.

At the sound of footsteps, he looked up impatiently.

Upon seeing the girl, the vice chancellor clutched his chest, his eyes bulging, nearly passing out from shock.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again, rubbed his eyes once more, pinched his thigh, and let out a hiss.

“No need to keep looking,” Ying Zijin took a seat on the sofa, picking up a cup of hot cocoa from the coffee table, “It’s my real face.”

The vice chancellor, who was about to pull out a magnifying glass, “…”

He awkwardly withdrew his hand, feeling embarrassed, “Well, I’ve never seen you like this before.”

Two hundred years had passed, and the times had changed too quickly.

Yesterday it was 4G, today 5G has come out.

It forced him, an old antique who should have been lying underground long ago, to keep up and learn.

But no scientific advancement could compare to the shock that Ying Zijin gave him today.

In the three years they’d worked together before, he’d never seen her wear any color other than black.

Ying Zijin gave him a glance.

The vice chancellor immediately sat up straight, cleared his throat, and spoke seriously, “You can rest assured that only I know of your arrival.”

“To prevent others from identifying you, ever since the day you made that post, I’ve had the school send out three subways in the morning, afternoon, and evening, arranging a variety of people to come from all over to Norton Town.”

“Aside from a bit of an issue today, everything has been normal.”

Ying Zijin picked up another chocolate muffin and upon hearing him, lifted her eyelid in a perfunctory manner, “Hmm.”

The vice chancellor: “…”

Two hundred years later, he wasn’t even entitled to a word of praise on their reunion.

After finishing the chocolate muffin, Ying Zijin asked, “How’s your health?”

“Not too good,” the vice chancellor was taken aback, then shook his head, “While the school president has used Alchemy to transform my body, in recent years I’ve also felt that I’m reaching my limit.”
