Chapter 69: Farewell, General Secretary
“Well, that’s really impressive,” Yuehai exclaimed blandly. The two fell silent again, leaving Yuehai feeling increasingly awkward. Why did Senior Kaga seem so different from last time? Did she do something wrong to be called here by the president?
“Uh, um, Senior, I still don’t know your name.”
Upon hearing this, Kaga’s expression stiffened, causing Yuehai to think she had asked an inappropriate question. Little did she know that Kaga was feeling embarrassed for forgetting even the simple etiquette of introducing oneself.
The presence of someone as beautiful as Yuehai in front of him already made Kaga struggle to maintain composure, causing him to forget to introduce himself. This kind of rudeness was something Kaga didn’t want to see.
“Sorry, that was my mistake. My name is Ryugen Kaga.”
“Then you must be a Senior Kaga.” Yuehai nodded in response. Her indifferent demeanor plunged the atmosphere into another low point. Kaga couldn’t help but feel unsettled by what had happened earlier. It seemed his cultivation still had a long way to go. Facing such a stunning beauty had already left him in this state; how could he ever hope to communicate in the future? It appeared that his current self was still inexperienced.
As time passed, Yuehai and Kaga arrived at the flying train station in District Fifteen. After getting off the train, they took a motorized vehicle and traveled through nearly ten streets before finally reaching their destination.
The Student Union building had four large characters, composed of Vermilion Bird Empire’s language, engraved on its gate, exuding a grand and majestic aura. Whenever someone passed by, they would feel the imposing presence of these characters. They must have been written by masters, as it was inconceivable for mere remnants of will to have such an effect on people.
The Student Union building wasn’t very large, but it occupied an area half the size of the Yusheng Tower. Like other buildings, the union adopted a color scheme based on red. Although its three-story height wasn’t prominent among the towering buildings of Avalon, its significance was undeniable.
“Let’s go.” Kaga nodded slightly at Yuehai, who returned the gesture with a bow. The two walked through the gate.
Following that, the first person Yuehai saw was Secretary-General Zamiyah, who had attended the Magical Girl Contest. He greeted Yuehai with a faint smile and said, “Yuehai, I hope you are well.”
“I have met Secretary-General Zamiyah,” Yuehai replied respectfully with a bow. Zamiyah was known as a superpower capable of battling even gods; she couldn’t afford to be disrespectful.
Zamiyah didn’t stop this gesture, she nodded slightly and then looked at Kaga. “You may leave now. Remember to complete the tasks assigned last time promptly, and you’re also aware of the situation on the other side, right?”
“Yes!” Kaga respectfully responded to Zamiyah’s instructions as if granted a reprieve, then quickly left the hall. Yuehai watched Kaga depart, feeling uneasy once again.
“So, um, Secretary-General Zamiyah, what are we doing now?”
“You seem to quite like flowers,” Zamiyah remarked as she led Yuehai to the sofa. They sat facing each other, and Zamiyah poured a cup for both Yuehai and herself.
“Secretary-General Zamiyah, let me handle these small tasks,” Yuehai said nervously, but Zamiyah didn’t seem to mind and picked up the cup, saying.
“Drink up. This is the Dragon God Water Tea from the Vermilion Bird Empire. Not only does it taste good, but it also helps boost your magical power.”
“Is it really that amazing?!” Yuehai picked up the cup with a mixture of belief and doubt, looking at the pale green, clear tea inside. A faint fragrance accompanied by warm steam slowly enveloped Yuehai’s face.
Attracted by the aroma, Yuehai took a sip from the cup, and immediately, a warm sensation flooded her entire body, continuously surging through her limbs and bones. The delightful sensation made Yuehai want to moan in pleasure, but considering Zamiyah was still watching, Yuehai restrained herself from being too impolite and slowly placed the cup back down.
“Let’s wait here for a while first. Ku may still have some things to attend to before coming down,” Zamiyah casually replied, then led Yuehai to a resting area in the ground floor lobby. Inside, there were arrangements of Tianxiu Flower and Muzi flowers, and a refreshing fragrance wafted over, making Yuehai feel relaxed and content.
“It’s really delicious… tea?”
“Yes, if you’re interested, you can join the Tea Ceremony Club. The students there are all tea connoisseurs, and it might help you relieve some of the immense pressure from your current academic life.”
Yuehai nodded slightly, feeling that this cup of tea indeed held a lot of emotions. Joining the Tea Ceremony Club might be a good idea.
“By the way, Secretary-General Zamiyah, my favorite flower is the Celestial Decay Flower.”
Yuehai’s sudden answer caught Zamiyah off guard for a moment before she realized.
“You see, I forgot about what I asked you earlier. It seems like I’m getting old.”
“How could Secretary-General Zamiyah be old? You’re still very young.” Yuehai’s flattery was spot on, and Zamiyah’s already happy expression grew even brighter. Her fair face even showed a coquettish demeanor, surprising Yuehai who was watching from the side.
“Haha, Yuehai, I didn’t expect that after just one or two months, you’ve learned some worldly things. Although it doesn’t quite match your image, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. It should be said that not squandering your beauty recklessly is the real fortune in misfortune.”
Yuehai couldn’t help but smile awkwardly at being instantly seen through by Zamiyah. Obviously, her little flirtatious tendencies had no effect in front of someone like Zamiyah.
Zamiyah looked at Yuehai with an appreciative gaze. She was a promising talent. Since Duke Falexis dared to send Yuehai here, they also dared to recruit her. However, what was intriguing was Duke Falexis’s actions. Zamiyah had spoken with Duke Falexis before, only to be immediately rejected. However, after the Duke’s banquet, his attitude towards Yuehai changed completely. He casually sent Yuehai off on a train without any questions. There must be something fishy going on, but the time was too short, and even Zamiyah couldn’t figure it out. After all, Duke Falexis was the only intellectual rival Zamiyah had ever encountered. The horror of this person could be seen from the banquet. Although Zamiyah had already speculated about the entire process of the banquet while she was in the union, the appearance of【Court of Azure】still shocked everyone.
While Zamiyah was lost in thought, she sensed a fluctuation and immediately realized. She said to Yuehai, “Alright, it seems Ku has already finished what he needed to do. Let’s go up.”
“Yes,” Yuehai obediently followed Zamiyah, but in her heart, she couldn’t help but wonder why Zamiyah referred to the president as “Ku” directly. She wasn’t sure if it was because of their seniority or if there was something else between them…
Just as she was thinking this, Zamiyah, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and gave her a wise look. Yuehai was startled and quickly lowered her head, no longer daring to think too much.
