Chapter 24 Taking Yang Bin Back to the Villa
Chapter 24 Taking Yang Bin Back to the Villa
The three truants were completely unaware that their every move was being observed by the principal.
At this moment, the homeroom teacher came to the principal and said, "Principal, is it really okay for them to do this? Although they are only asking for leave now, what about the future? What if they skip class altogether?"
"No problem. As long as his grades meet the requirements and he doesn't demolish the academy, there's no need to worry too much. Besides, you've seen that kid's Pokémon battles. Do you think he'll be bad in the future, given that he's trained a Pokémon of the same age to be this good?" the principal countered.
The homeroom teacher said, "Principal, I understand what you mean, but I'm worried that he'll influence other students."
The principal gave him a disdainful look and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't be fooled by that kid's crazy appearance. He's more shrewd than anyone else. And that student named Yang Bin, if he's with him, his family for three generations will be fine as long as they don't commit murder or arson. Don't worry about your students. He'll handle it. I'd even like him to recruit a few more followers."
The principal added in his mind, "Of course, it would be better if he took me under his wing, but unfortunately I'm too old and it's a bit embarrassing. If I were 15 years younger, I would definitely run off with him."
After all, who wouldn't want to have a powerful backer? Look at other smaller forces and companies; they all have powerful backers. Without them, I wonder if they could withstand the greed of people.
"Alright, alright, it's up to you. By the way, Principal, what are the prizes for the top ten in the first-year competition?" the homeroom teacher asked.
"Well, with the sponsorship of a wealthy patron this year, the rewards for first graders are as follows." After saying that, the principal handed a piece of paper with the words "first grade" written on it to the homeroom teacher.
Top 10 in Grade 1 Awards
First Place: High-Grade Fire Stone, Half-Year Energy Cube
Second place: Intermediate Water Stone, Half-Year Energy Cube
Third place: Beginner Leaf Stone, Half-year Energy Cube
Fourth to tenth place: Random skill learner, three months of energy cubes.
After reading it, the homeroom teacher exclaimed, "Principal, this is a bit too generous! The top ten in obtaining energy cubes alone will reward you with 39 months' worth of rewards, not even for high-grade fire stones. There aren't even such rewards in the senior grade battles. Are you afraid you'll eat your little darling out of house and home?"
The principal said with a smile, "If you're worried, just contribute your salary and year-end bonus. I don't mind."
"Principal, although I respect you, it doesn't mean I won't hit someone. One second we're good friends, the next I might not be able to hold back. Are you kidding me?" The homeroom teacher said, his face full of black lines.
The principal said, "Come on, calm down. I think our year-end bonuses will be very generous as long as this kid stays in school for the next few years."
Meanwhile, the truant trio had arrived at the small courtyard. Xiao Gang couldn't help but smile when he saw Yang Bin's expression, which was exactly the same as when he first arrived. What surprised him even more was what he saw inside.
At the same time, Yang Bin thought to himself, "As expected of the boss, he's really amazing. I only knew that he and Xiao Gang lived together, but I didn't expect that they lived in a separate courtyard."
Indeed, apart from Xiao Gang staying in the dormitory with a classmate for a period of time during the first few days of school, everyone knew that Xuan Mingtian lived alone. After all, it's such a simple question that anyone could figure it out with their own eyes.
Xiao Gang said to Yang Bin, "When you go in later, stay calm and don't scream like a little girl."
Seeing Yang Bin turn to look at me, I simply nodded coolly without saying a word and continued to lead them into the small courtyard.
The scenery inside the villa is quite different from the outside world. A path leads to the villa, and the land on both sides is planted with saplings that have grown to 1 meter tall. Vegetables and fruits are also planted on both sides in front of the villa. It looks like the vegetables and fruits will be ready for harvest in about a week.
At the same time, he saw a walking grass constantly photosynthesizing on the soil of the saplings, vegetables and fruits, and the grassy ground. Just by looking at it from a distance, he could feel a different kind of feeling from nature rushing towards Yang Bin. This was the feeling of plant rebirth.
"Lulu Walking": Master, why are you back so early? Who is this guy?
After all, apart from Xiao Gang, very few outsiders come here; even the principal has only been here once.
"Xiao Ta, don't worry about these things for now. Call all your friends to the backyard." After saying that, Xuan Mingtian led Yang Bin from the path next to the villa to the backyard.
"My God, boss, is this...is this a Scyther? Is this really a Scyther? Look at the color, look at those bladed arms! Charmander, come slap me!" Yang Bin's eyes widened and his mouth formed an "O".
"Dragon Fire Dragon" - I can't bear to look at this anymore, Master Yin has gone mad.
A cute little elf-shaped translator is now available.
He looked at Yang Bin without saying a word, after all, the guy's expression at this moment was exactly the same as Xiao Gang's when he arrived.
"Yes, this is a Scyther named Skybreaker. He's the first partner I acquired in the Kanto region, and he'll be a key member of my team from now on." After saying this, she fell silent, waiting for her partner to arrive while letting Yang Bin adjust to his current mood.
In less than a minute, Xuan Mingtian watched his companions arrive one after another, and at the same time saw Yang Bin's surprised expression again. The reason, of course, was the little cutie's transformed Chimecho. After all, Chimecho is a Pokémon unique to the Hoenn region. Although it can be found in other places, it is not common.
"Boss, this is Wind Chime. You have so many spirits, you truly deserve to be my boss. Not only are you handsome, but you're also so powerful." Yang Bin's flattery made him feel ecstatic all day.
"Yang Bin, let me introduce you. This is Little Tower (Oddish), Dehua (Jigglypuff), Little Cutie (Chimney Chime), Little Dot (Ninja), Garlic (Bulbasaur), and Potian (Scizor). My new little brother is Yang Bin, and this is his Charmander." He introduced his companions to Yang Bin one by one.
"Fat Ding": Hello little brother.
"Chirp chirp chirp": Hello little brother...
Hearing his companions' calls, he roughly understood what his little brother meant, and his lips twitched involuntarily. Yang Bin, on the other hand, looked like a lecherous man and kept greeting his elf.
"Yang Bin, don't get excited. You need to understand that becoming one of my people isn't that simple. Introduce yourself first." He said with a serious expression.
Yang Bin answered honestly, "Boss, I'm from Kanaz City in the Hoenn region. My family runs three pastry and bakery shops."
"Well, you know who I am, right?" she said, staring at him, before taking out a clan emblem from her pocket and placing it in front of Yang Bin.
This is a piece crafted from a discarded branch of the Miracle Tree, engraved with the Miracle Tree of the family. This is the family crest used exclusively by Xuan Mingtian's family. Although it has been imitated before, the family crest is easy to identify because it is made from the mother tree branch. As long as the elf inputs energy, it can be identified. It is incomparable to the grandchild trees of other families.
"Boss, I only know a little bit of the general situation. It might be related to the alliance's top leaders being forced into a fight several days ago." At this moment, Yang Bin's eyes narrowed as he thought of a matter that had been making headlines recently.
I looked at Xiaogang with a blank expression and said, "Xiaogang, do you know what he's talking about?"
"Oh, of course I know. It's about your grandpa beating up the top echelons of the Sinnoh League. Don't tell me you, as the grandson of Grandpa Xuan, don't know about this." At this moment, Xiao Gang glanced at himself sideways, and anyone who wasn't blind could see the contempt in his expression.
"Uh, do I need to know? Besides, my family didn't tell me when my grandpa went to fight. Xiaogang, you've changed. You've started to become cunning. You didn't even tell me about something this big." Xuan Mingtian said with a bitter face.
Looking at Xiao Gang now, Xuan Mingtian wanted to beat him up. Not only was he becoming more and more cunning, but he also didn't tell him such important things. It was as if their friendship was about to capsize.
Xiao Gang replied speechlessly, "Isn't it because you often sleep in class? This news was all over the place the day after Grandpa Xuan finished his fight, and you didn't pay any attention to it. I'm really impressed with you, you old idiot. You should deal with the things in front of you first, tsk."
At this moment, Xuan Mingtian was clutching his chest, looking like a pathetic, self-pitying figure that made all the elves cover their eyes and shake their heads.
I patted Yang Bin on the shoulder to try to bring him back to his senses and said, "Yang Bin, since you overheard my conversation with Xiao Gang and know that this was my grandfather's doing, it means that your kneeling before meant something, right?"
Coming to his senses, Yang Bin knelt on one knee and said, "I understand, young master. From now on, I will be your follower, and our whole family will follow your lead."
It's not surprising that I saw him do this; after all, such actions are necessary to become a follower. At the same time, I can't help but marvel at the precociousness of people in this world.
He then helped Yang Bin up and said, "Sit down first. I think you should contact your family first. I'll give you time to contact your family now. Go make the call."
After watching Yang Bin walk aside to contact his family, he said to Xiao Gang, "Xiao Gang, do you think what I did was right or wrong?"
“You only need to think about your own future. You like farming, but you also need people outside. They represent your family when you're out in the world, and of course, loyalty is the most important thing,” Xiao Gang said earnestly.
Xuan Mingtian fell silent after hearing what Xiao Gang said, because Xiao Gang's family belonged to the alliance system and probably knew these things, and he also needed to cultivate a group of peripheral personnel.
Well, even in past lives, many small families or households would attach themselves to a large family, not only cooperating, but also following and marrying each other. This is probably because of shared interests.
