After dealing with the affairs of the Zephyr Church, Qin Siyang, Li Tianming, and Qian Wenzhao had a discussion.
They decided not to reveal that they knew Xiao Zhigang intended to harm Qin Siyang.
Because right now, they had no way to counter or threaten Xiao Zhigang.
Xiao Zhigang was the Minister of Education. Assassinating him was almost impossible.
Moreover, Xiao Zhigang had already been kicked out of the Crimson Crystal negotiations, and they had no leverage over him.
Given that Xiao Zhigang had already made a move once before, they were even more worried that, if enraged, he might become desperate and directly kill Qin Siyang.
Qin Siyang then found the Yellow-Robed Guardian, Zhang Yingrui, and told him to keep this matter confidential. He was not allowed to inform Xiao Zhigang that they had already learned of his plans.
Otherwise, they would not share the Crimson Crystal contract with Zhang Yingrui.
Zhang Yingrui had some personal ties with Xiao Zhigang, but he had no choice but to agree.
In the face of the Crimson Crystal, let alone a bit of personal connection. Even brotherhood had to take a backseat.
"Mr. Qin, while I have agreed to this, I must make one thing clear. If Xiao Zhigang decides to dig into this matter, I doubt I can keep it hidden. When that happens, don't hold it against me."
"Guardian Zhang, don't worry. If you abide by our agreement, I won't trouble you. Who would want to make an enemy for no reason?"
"Besides, this matter happened a long time ago. It's unlikely Xiao Zhigang will suddenly decide to revisit it and ask too many questions. After all, it was his own misinformation that cost you two valuable subordinates."
Zhang Yingrui stared at Qin Siyang for a long moment before saying, "Mr. Qin, you're one of the two most mature and steady young men I've ever met. At your age, being able to communicate without barriers and keep your mind sharp at all times. Your future is limitless."
"Thank you for the compliment, Guardian Zhang. But I'm curious—who's the other one?"
"Our Zephyr Church's Saint Son, Hu Chan."
"Hu Chan, huh?", Qin Siyang thought for a moment, 'That crazy kid, when acting normal, is indeed quite composed.'
Qin Siyang couldn't see Zhang Yingrui's expression under the black veil, but the admiration in his tone was unmistakable, "Yes. If our Saint Son were stronger, the entire church would probably already be under his control."
"Besides, our Saint Son is just like you."
"He's also an orphan."
After saying that, Zhang Yingrui left the conference room.
Qin Siyang slowly pondered over Zhang Yingrui's words.
He had always assumed that the title of Saint Son was passed down from a relative.
He never expected that Hu Chan was actually an orphan.
An orphan, made into the Saint Son's puppet, yet able to build his own power and even send assassins after Qin Siyang…
This Hu Chan was no simple character.
After settling the Zephyr Church's affairs, Qin Siyang had temporarily resolved all urgent matters.
The only thing left was his own business.
His God Hunting Points and Research Points were still far from enough.
He had to go all out.
Otherwise, he'd lose his special privilege.
This privilege was unprecedented in South Glory University's history.
Even looking across all universities and research institutes in the Safe Zone, it was groundbreaking.
Qin Siyang even saw many posts discussing his privilege on the [Sequence Education] forum.
[Such an amazing privilege. Did Qin Siyang have to break South Glory University's student points record to get it?]
[Definitely not! Senior students in their fourth year have over a million points. He hasn't even enrolled yet and hasn't completed any school tasks. Where would he get a million points? He probably just needs to be the top scorer in his year.]
[Makes sense. Qin Siyang has the Vine Core and the Crimson Crystal. Plus, if he ranked first in his grade's points, it wouldn't be surprising for him to get this privilege.]
[Then he's got a lot of grinding ahead. I heard the top special admissions student at South Glory University has over 80,000 God Hunting Points and a few thousand Research Points. Qin Siyang just passed 10,000 God Hunting Points and has zero Research Points. With only four months left until school starts, there's no way he can surpass that.]
[Qin Siyang is the genius who defies the impossible. He can definitely do it.]
[Yeah! He's an inspiration for all students from poor backgrounds! I believe in him.]
Qin Siyang spent nearly an entire day reading through the posts.
He was absolutely dumbfounded.
He never expected to see so many discussions about his special privilege on the [Sequence Education] forum.
His face turned red with embarrassment: "Damn it, which bastard leaked my special admission agreement online?"
Qin Siyang was furious when he saw that someone had even uploaded a photo of his signed agreement with Zhao Longfei.
He originally thought this privilege should stay low-key. Only South Glory's inner circle needed to know about it.
But now?
The entire Safe Zone knew he had a privilege that let him make privileges.
At first, he thought needing to rank in the top three for points was a bit too strict.
But looking at the forum's reactions…
If he didn't take first place at South Glory, it'd seem like he wasn't worthy of the privilege at all.
The worst part?
Many students were cheering him on.
They firmly believed he could complete an impossible comeback before school started, surpassing the top scorer and rightfully earning the privilege.
Because Qin Siyang had already created one miracle after another.
He even gained the nickname [Miracle Bro] on the forum.
He hadn't even spoken a word, yet he already had countless supporters backing him up, even forming a [Qin Siyang Support Club].
These fan club members refused to tolerate any negative remarks about Qin Siyang.
They went around promising everyone that Qin Siyang would definitely succeed.
They had basically put him on a roasting spit over an open fire.
If he failed, wouldn't that be the most humiliating thing ever?
Qin Siyang might be shameless at times.
But that was only when it benefited him, and usually in private.
His public reputation? He still needed to maintain that.
Qin Siyang was utterly devastated.
"What the hell… I'm 70,000 points behind first place, and that guy's score is still increasing. How am I supposed to catch up in four months? I swear, if I had parents, even they wouldn't believe in me this much."
Zhao Sifang said that Zhao Longfei could slightly loosen some restrictions for him.
Qin Siyang refused with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Sifang gave him a thumbs-up in admiration, "Brother Qin, your confidence is incredible. If it were someone else, they'd definitely accept my uncle's offer. Don't worry, I won't go easy on you. I'll work hard hunting gods during this time so you can rightfully earn your privilege."
Qin Siyang couldn't be bothered with Zhao Sifang.
Let him do whatever he wanted.
Anyway, Qin Siyang's target had already shifted to that military big shot with over 80,000 points.
Just thinking about the 70,000+ points he still needed to earn made his heart sink.
'No choice.'
'No more talking. Time to get out there and hunt some gods.'
