As the homeroom teacher looked on in confusion, the principal's phone rang.
The homeroom teacher answered, and a booming voice from the principal came through the phone: "Old Wang! Where are you now? Your class's vice homeroom teacher is almost here! Call the teachers for your class later, and we'll go to the airport to pick them up!!"
The homeroom teacher hummed and asked, "Okay, Principal, what time exactly?"
Principal: "Four-thirty in the afternoon! We'll gather at the school gate then!"
After the principal finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Listening to the dial tone from his phone, the homeroom teacher's mouth twitched.
Homeroom Teacher: "...?!" Isn't the principal being a little too enthusiastic?!
...
Time flew by, and it was afternoon.
The homeroom teacher led a group of teachers to the school gate to meet the principal.
When the group of teachers arrived at the school gate, they saw their principal dressed in a suit, tie, and polished shoes, looking very formal, as if he were about to welcome a very important person.
The group of teachers: "...?!" Isn't the principal overdoing it?!
Meanwhile, on the plane.
Ming Li removed her eye mask, and her hearing returned. The incessant chatter finally stopped.
Ming Li looked at the watch on her wrist and realized it was almost half-past four. She looked out through the airplane window and saw they were nearing their destination.
Ming Li mentally complained, "So slow! This speed isn't even a tenth of my sword flight."
System: "...?!" Can you compare these two things?!
Soon, the plane landed.
Ming Li stood up, put her hands in her pockets, and kicked Lin Jue, who was sleeping like a log beside her.
Kicked by Ming Li, Lin Jue suddenly opened his handsome, phoenix-like eyes and woke up.
"Huh? What's wrong? Did the plane land?"
Ming Li's eyes twitched, and she said, "Move aside!"
Hearing this, Lin Jue belatedly got up to make way for Ming Li. By the time Ming Li had walked away, Lin Jue realized what had happened and quickly chased after her. However, the airport was too crowded, and Lin Jue couldn't catch up.
Just as Lin Jue was looking around, trying to find Ming Li, a middle-aged man in a suit approached him and bowed, saying, "Young Master, Master and Madam have asked me to pick you up."
Lin Jue looked up at the man in front of him and, after thinking for a moment, said, "Uncle Li, please help me find someone."
Uncle Li: "Certainly, Young Master."
...
Meanwhile, Ming Li walked alone in the vast airport and encountered the principal and a group of teachers from Nanyun High School. As Ming Li passed them, she was called out by her class's homeroom teacher.
The homeroom teacher, standing beside the principal, inadvertently saw Ming Li walking towards them and passing by. She quickly called out, "Jiang Ming Li, wait a moment!"
Ming Li's brows furrowed. She found the voice somewhat familiar, so she stopped and turned to look in the direction of the voice.
Seeing that it was indeed Ming Li, the homeroom teacher walked forward.
Just as the homeroom teacher was about to say something to Ming Li, Ming Li's phone rang.
Homeroom Teacher: "...?!" She had no choice but to fall silent.
Ming Li took out her phone and pressed the answer button when she saw the name displayed on the screen.
Then, the homeroom teacher and Ming Li heard a booming, familiar voice from the phone.
The homeroom teacher listened again, unsure, and found it really familiar. That booming voice, wasn't it their principal's?
