Based on what just happened, Li Cunxu asking the education bureau for a transfer is perfectly reasonable.
But Li Cunxu didn't do that; doing so would play right into the principal's hands.
This was an intimidation tactic, a way to push Li Cunxu to transfer schools.
The other side made Li Cunxu very unhappy; she wanted to transfer schools, but she refused to back down.
If the other party had kindly asked her to transfer, she might have considered it, but they were too arrogant.
How did Li Cunxu see through their intentions?
The Guardian Knight was beside Li Cunxu, using psychological suggestions. For a moment, Li Cunxu was tempted to storm off.
Li Cunxu didn't leave, firstly because his soul was a fusion of two, giving him double the mental resistance of a normal person, and secondly because the Guardian Knight's psychological suggestion was subpar and limited in influence, failing to succeed. Instead, it made Li Cunxu aware of their intentions.
The Guardian Knight has two attributes, one is gold, and the other is spirit.
The Guardian Knight's main attribute is gold, with spirit as a secondary attribute.
Clearly, the female gatekeeper's Guardian Knight wasn't properly trained, focusing entirely on gold and neglecting the spirit attribute.
As for why Li Cunxu believed the principal was the one trying to make him transfer?
So far at Eighteenth Middle School, he's directly or indirectly interacted with two people: a female gatekeeper and the principal. If it's not the principal, could it be the gatekeeper?
He knocked on the principal's office door.
"Come in."
Li Cunxu pushed the door open, and upon seeing the blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman with voluptuous waves behind the desk, he was momentarily stunned.
So it was her; everything made sense.
The old witch, the femme fatale—Mei Ruyu.
An incurable extreme misandrist.
The head of the younger generation of the Medusa Clan, one of the top ten families of Tongdu.
In games, generally, the more beautiful a female character is, the more adored she is by players. Mei Ruyu was the opposite: the more beautiful she was, the more players loathed her.
This NPC, Mei Ruyu, is incredibly annoying. In the wild or secret realms, if a male player shows up, she'd use her bloodline talent, the Eye of Medusa, to petrify them.
Her petrification lasts seven days; for players, it's equivalent to a seven-day ban.
Imagine being a player who finally finds a BOSS location, ready for a fight and to claim a first kill, only to be inexplicably glared at by Mei Ruyu midway, banned for seven days, and the first kill likely snatched by someone else. Who could endure that?
Li Cunxu hated Mei Ruyu a hundred times more than a regular player would.
Others, when banned for seven days, can do other things. But Li Cunxu, being a vegetative state, only had "Divine Guardian" as entertainment. A seven-day ban was a genuine imprisonment for him.
When he heard players were planning to gang up on Mei Ruyu, Li Cunxu traveled a long way to join the fight.
Mei Ruyu frowned and said, "Do you know me?"
Li Cunxu snapped back to reality, realizing his daze had exposed him.
"I saw Lord Mei at the competition."
Mei Ruyu's terrifyingly seductive eyes bore into Li Cunxu. "You're not telling the truth."
Li Cunxu stayed silent.
What if he wasn't telling the truth? Mei Ruyu couldn't kill him.
The principal killing a student is too heinous, even if she is the head of the Medusa Clan; there would still be consequences.
Mei Ruyu slightly threatened, "Eighteenth Middle School is a girls' school; it's not welcoming to males. You better transfer, or else..."
Li Cunxu shrugged, "I didn't want to come to Eighteenth Middle School, but the vice principal of Seventeenth Middle School, Stone Golden Soup, set me up and sent me here."
Even if Li Cunxu wasn't sure if Stone Golden Soup had sent him here, he didn't mind blaming it on him.
Besides, transferring to a girls' school like Eighteenth Middle School was abnormal; by regular transfer procedures, he should have gone to Sixteenth Middle School.
Mei Ruyu muttered, "Stone Golden Soup from Seventeenth Middle School, got it."
Hearing this, Li Cunxu felt a bit smug. This old witch, like a snake and a scorpion, had strong tendencies for revenge. Stone Golden Soup would be in big trouble with her targeting him.
"How about you? Transferring?"
"Not transferring."
"Hmm?"
Mei Ruyu's voice turned cold.
"Transferring all the time is too troublesome."
"Fine, report to Breeding Class One then!"
Mei Ruyu let out a cold snort. She didn't want to say more; she'd already talked enough to a man for one day, any more and she'd feel nauseated to the point of vomiting.
As for whether Li Cunxu would transfer?
Li Cunxu's willingness wasn't important; she had ways to make him leave the school.
Li Cunxu entered the first class. At this moment, during recess, the noisy classroom fell silent in an instant.
Many girls didn't understand; why was there a boy in a girls' school?
"He looks familiar; I've seen him somewhere."
"Isn't he the boy who was punished at the school gate? Why didn't the gatekeeper drive him away? And now he's in our classroom?"
Li Cunxu scanned the classroom and spotted a familiar face.
Chen Lu.
The seat next to Chen Lu was empty, and under the astonished gaze of all the girls, Li Cunxu sat down beside Chen Lu.
As soon as Li Cunxu sat down, everyone started discussing.
"Why did he sit down?"
"Could it be he's not a boy but a girl dressed as one?"
Some believed this line, thinking that though Li Cunxu wasn't breathtakingly handsome, with his fine features, he could pass for a girl at a closer look.
"How could he not be a boy? Look, he has an Adam's apple."
Chen Lu was very puzzled, not knowing why Li Cunxu was here.
Li Cunxu whispered, "Why transfer here instead of First Middle?"
Chen Lu replied softly, "I don't like the stressful study atmosphere at First Middle."
Indeed, First Middle was full of overachievers, the study atmosphere was too intense.
Ring, ring~
The class bell rang.
Chen Lu gently pushed Li Cunxu and quickly said, "You should leave. If the teacher sees a boy in the classroom, you'll be in trouble."
"I'm not leaving; today I'm a student of this class."
"Huh?"
Chen Lu seriously said, "Eighteenth Middle is a girls' school; they don't accept boys."
"From today onwards, it's not exclusively a girls' school anymore."
Li Cunxu showed the message from the education bureau to Chen Lu on his phone.
"How did you end up transferring?"
"The vice principal of Seventeenth Middle, Stone Golden Soup, tried to exploit my talent without my consent, so he oppressed me. I just walked away."
"That vice principal, how could he be like that? Totally unethical," Chen Lu said indignantly.
"But why did they transfer you to Eighteenth Middle?"
"I'm not sure either; it might be some trick from Stone Golden Soup."
Unable to find a reason, they just assumed it was Stone Golden Soup's doing.
Anyway, so far, Stone Golden Soup was the only open adversary he had.
Chen Lu said, "I'll tell my cousin to help you get back at him."
Li Cunxu shook his head, "No need. Getting revenge personally is more satisfying than having someone else do it."
"Though hatred isn't a good thing, it does motivate me to strive harder."
Chen Lu reluctantly accepted this reasoning.
"By the way, why are you in the Breeders' Class? Shouldn't you be in the Beast Masters' Class?"
Chen Lu whispered, "The elders said that my talent is more suited for being a breeder."
She had mentioned before that her talent was related to both being a Beast Master and a breeder.
Li Cunxu was curious what Chen Lu's talent was, that it led the Chen Family to decide she should be a breeder. After all, Chen Lu was a dual purple talent holder, an excellent candidate for a Beast Master.
He wanted to ask, but he wasn't that familiar with Chen Lu, and this was too private a question.
Besides, even if Chen Lu answered, it wouldn't be good.
If something happened to Chen Lu, the Chen Family might suspect him, a knowledgeable party, which could lead to deadly trouble.
For his own safety, Li Cunxu suppressed his curiosity.
Chen Lu chuckled softly, "Are you curious about my talent? Want to know?"
Li Cunxu nodded, then asked, "Can you say?"
"Everyone in the class knows."
"Then what's your talent?"
"Yo-Yo's Deer Cry."
"So that's it!"
[Yo-Yo's Deer Cry, Purple Epic, Dual Talent in Beast Master and Breeder.

Feature two: Deer's Burst, stimulates potential in deer pets with the sound of deer cries, bursting out 200% combat power.

This talent seems ordinary at first glance, but in reality, it's anything but simple.
