"Thank you."
Xiao Zhan politely thanked the middle-aged man and then got into the car.
The middle-aged man nodded, "Sir, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Hose, and I am a butler for the Ye Family."
"Hello, Butler Hose, my name is Xiao Zhan."
"Alright, hurry up and drive," Ye Youlong urged impatiently.
"Yes, Miss."
Everyone then boarded the car. Within moments, the vehicles disappeared from the campus.
This scene.
The students buzzed with excitement.
"Who is that girl? She sure carries herself with importance. That car must be worth tens of thousands of Federation credits."
"Tens of thousands? You have no clue. That car isn't worth much, only about five hundred thousand. My family can afford it. What's crucial is the license plate! It's a military plate! Do you understand what that means?"
"Military plate? Does that mean she's connected to the military? God, who is that girl?"
Everyone envied her.
Xiao Zhan really hit the jackpot.
Lin Dong watched the scene with a flash of jealousy, angrily clenching his fist, "Xiao Zhan's luck never ceases! But no matter, he will ultimately be beneath me!"
Beside him, Jiang Xian'er remained silent, just quietly watching, her thoughts unknown.
But the slight frown betrayed her thoughts at that moment.
Meanwhile.
The director observed the scene and couldn't help but marvel, "Principal Qin is indeed the principal; he certainly has foresight."
Principal Qin showed a bitter smile, "If I'm not mistaken, those cars just now bore the Ye Family's totems, a prominent family in the Federation."
The director inhaled sharply, "The Ye Family?! No wonder they could awaken an SSS-tier Artifact Spirit. The Ye Family guards the Northern Border! I remember that the 'God of Death,' who made Demon Beasts tremble, is from the Ye Family."
"Wait, that scythe! Could it be..."
"Haha, interesting. I wonder how the Ye Family will react knowing Xiao Zhan is an F-tier Spirit Master."
The director showed a playful smile.
At that moment, Principal Qin seriously addressed him, "Director Zhang, this is not something to be amused by. This situation is a regretful matter for humanity! I hope you do not have such thoughts."
"I'm sorry, Principal."
Director Zhang's face stiffened, awkwardly apologizing.
But internally, he felt a bit dissatisfied, thinking it was an overreaction, though he wasn't joking; it was a fact.
...
Northern City!
The entire city is situated in the far north of the Federation Government. The terrain is rugged, with numerous mountains, rich in mineral resources, but the temperature is low, constantly covered in a layer of snow.
A hundred years ago, this place had distinct seasons of spring and winter, but now, it only knows winter.
It's either snowing or snowing.
At this moment.
At the General Northern's Mansion.
An armed helicopter roared and finally landed in the mansion's square.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman descended from the helicopter.
A butler followed behind them.
These two were Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong from Changchi City Spirit Academy.
"Miss, the family head has been waiting for some time."
The waiting servant immediately draped a black fur coat over Ye Youlong.
Ye Youlong glanced at the coat and then at the servant.
The servant lowered his head, avoiding eye contact.
Ye Youlong's brows furrowed.
The coat was prepared only for her, not for Xiao Zhan.
This was an attitude.
The Ye Family's attitude.
Although Xiao Zhan wasn't cold at the moment, as the butler had already informed him about the cold weather, prompting him to change clothes earlier.
He didn't mind the fur coat.
Though it was meant for warmth, it was more of a symbol.
He didn't realize the Ye Family was showing him a differentiated attitude through the coat.
This revealed the Ye Family's attitude towards Xiao Zhan.
"Slap!"
Suddenly, amidst Xiao Zhan's confusion, a loud slap echoed.
It was the servant.
There was a visible handprint on her face.
She immediately knelt down!
The red mark on her face grew more vivid in the cold air.
"Next time you dare bring only one coat, I will kill you!"
Ye Youlong's cold voice pierced the air, colder than the atmosphere, stabbing the servant's heart.
The servant couldn't say it was the family head's order, only guiltly lowering her head, "Yes, Miss."
Watching Ye Youlong walk into the mansion.
Xiao Zhan didn't fully understand what had happened, but hearing Ye Youlong's words, he gained some insight.
Simultaneously, he felt a bit touched.
This was the feeling of being favored.
Ye Youlong.
She seemed like a pretty good wife.
He glanced at Butler Hose. Hose's expression was calm as if he didn't regard this matter seriously.
The mansion adhered to strict regulations, following military conduct, rarely humiliating servants or killing indiscriminately.
However, this was a chaotic world, and the old ways had somewhat changed!
Moreover, Ye Youlong was a special case within the mansion!
Meanwhile.
Inside the mansion.
A broad-shouldered, formidable middle-aged man sat in the study. His square face was resolute, radiating an exceptional aura, emitting a steady and profound presence. Just sitting there, he provided an immense sense of security.
Yet, at this moment, his expression seemed somewhat gloomy.
Continuous sighs echoed.
Because in front of him lay a document.
On the first page was Xiao Zhan's photo, detailed information, with a prominently displayed F!
"Wudi, still sighing?" At this moment, a beautiful woman entered with a cup of coffee, walking towards him.
Ye Wudi glanced at the beautiful woman, his furrowed brows easing slightly, "Runya, what do you make of this? An SSS-tier Artifact Spirit and an F-tier Spirit Master bonded by a Life and Death Contract! How do you think our Ye Family will be perceived?"
"Sigh!"
Ye Wudi continued sighing.
Zhang Runya reached behind him, her fair fingers gently pressing his shoulders, "Once a Life and Death Contract is signed, it is irreversible. With things at this stage, all we can do is offer our utmost support."
"Yes, I know, but how can I accept this so quickly? Sigh, I shouldn't have let her go out and find a contracting Spirit Master on her own!"
"I thought with her Bloodline Talent Skills, she would find a suitable one. But she brought back someone like him, an F-tier. Even an E-tier would have been better. Could she be doing this on purpose?"
