Yin Yang Demon Suppression
Around three in the afternoon, Li Jianguo sent someone to pick up Ye Mingshang. Although due to various reasons, it was not possible to mobilize all the faculty and students to welcome Ye Mingshang, the necessary courtesies could not be overlooked. After all, he was the savior of all the faculty and students, including Li Jianguo himself.
At the school gate, Li Jianguo took time out of his busy schedule to personally greet him. Even though he had just taken office and had many responsibilities, he felt he could not miss this occasion. Even if Ye Mingshang did not mind, he himself could not let it go.
"Master Ye," Li Jianguo greeted warmly.
"Just call me by my name or Ye," Ye Mingshang replied, giving Li Jianguo a deep look.
"Then I will still call you Mr. Ye," Ye Mingshang said. Although he still appeared cool, he now seemed more personable and approachable to Li Jianguo.
"Suit yourself."
Li Jianguo knew that Ye Mingshang had dropped out of school early and was attending mainly for nostalgia. To make him feel more at home, Li Jianguo thoughtfully arranged for him to study a major that might be useful to him—Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Ye Mingshang had no objections to this. Although he had not studied it formally, many Daoist Arts, especially those related to healing, were indeed connected to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Since the principal personally received him, the professional teachers also held Ye Mingshang in high regard. They understood what kind of person Principal Li was; even the descendants of high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants would not receive such treatment. Regardless of his family background or personal talents, it was clear that Ye Mingshang possessed exceptional qualities.
As was customary, Ye Mingshang had to introduce himself first. However, perhaps due to his tsundere nature, his self-introduction was merely a cool mention of his name.
There were not many girls studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, but it wasn't an insignificant number either. For someone like Ye Mingshang, he certainly attracted the interest of girls. Although he wasn't very tall—about one meter seventy-eight—he looked slim and cool with a handsome appearance. As soon as he arrived, he immediately became a crush for some girls.
Although he wanted to integrate into the group, years of habit could not be changed in a short time. Unwilling to squeeze in with others, he ultimately sat in a corner at the back of the classroom.
The professional teacher taught quite well, and Ye Mingshang was genuinely focused on learning. Perhaps out of consideration for him, this lesson covered the most basic knowledge. For these young people who were just there for fun, very few paid attention to what the teacher was saying.
University life is indeed quite relaxed, with only two classes. Aside from those studious overachievers who love learning, most boys spend their time playing games, while girls mostly go shopping.
"Hello, Ye. Nice to meet you. My name is Zhi Mu," a gentle-looking boy smiled at Ye Mingshang.
"Ye Mingshang," Ye Mingshang replied coolly.
Zhi Mu didn't seem to be bothered by Ye Mingshang's attitude at all; he always appeared cheerful.
"Ye, you're so handsome. Would you be my boyfriend?" a pretty girl boldly asked.
To this, Ye Mingshang simply responded coolly, "No."
Well, he has actually made some progress. In the past, he would have ignored her completely.
Although rejected, the girl did not feel embarrassed or surprised. She shrugged and walked away. Ye Mingshang's indifferent demeanor only drew screams and cheers from a group of girls.
This naturally sparked jealousy among many boys, but most were just envious. However, there will always be some who are restless. Newly arrived Ye Mingshang had already caught their attention.
Not liking the noise, Ye Mingshang quickly left. Although the girls were reluctant, they excitedly discussed seeing him again in the future. Not long after he stepped outside, Zhi Mu caught up with him and said, "Xin Xu Sheng."
Xu Sheng? Who is that? Not wanting to think too much about it, Ye Mingshang decided to check out his dormitory. Room Li Jianguo had already been prepared for him, and his belongings were taken care of, so there was no need for Ye Mingshang to trouble himself further.
Not long after class ended, Li Jianguo called him.
"Mr. Ye, has class ended? How do you feel?"
"Not bad."
"Which dormitory is mine?" Ye Mingshang asked after chatting for a bit.
"I have already arranged the dormitory for Mr. Ye. You just need to head over to the dormitory building. I have someone waiting for you there."
Ye Mingshang had previously wandered around the school and knew the location of the male dormitory building. As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the building, a young man wearing glasses approached him.
"Hello, Mr. Ye. I am Assistant Mo Hai to Principal Li," the young man greeted him warmly.
"Hello," Ye Mingshang replied politely.
The young man was not surprised by Ye Mingshang's cold demeanor. It was likely that either his upbringing was good or Li Jianguo had briefed him.
"Mr. Ye's room has been arranged. Please follow me."
The dormitory had a total of seven floors, and Ye Mingshang's room was on the fifth floor.
"Please take a look, Mr. Ye."
The young man opened the door to Room 6.
The room's arrangement impressed Ye Mingshang. It was a private room with an independent bathroom. There was a bed, a wardrobe, and a computer. The floor and wallpaper were also new. There was a little space near the door for changing shoes.
After changing into a pair of slippers, Ye Mingshang entered and looked around before saying lightly, "Not bad."
"If Mr. Ye is satisfied, I will take my leave now. I have other work to attend to. If you need anything, you can contact me directly through the landline in your room."
After the young man left, Ye Mingshang lay heavily on the big bed.
"Mm~ it's even more comfortable than the hotel bed. But I'm here to study; is this really okay? Hehe!"
After lying down for a bit, Ye Mingshang prepared to go downstairs to get something to eat. Although the room's landline could directly arrange for dinner delivery, he didn't like that alternative feeling.
Li Jianguo had already arranged a meal card for Ye Mingshang. It was unlimited and allowed him to eat at the staff cafeteria on the second floor. While regular students could also go there, it was quite expensive. Even school staff would have discounts, but not many people chose to eat there.
As soon as Ye Mingshang arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria, he frowned slightly. There were simply too many people, and he couldn't bear the thought of squeezing in with so many others to eat. However, he quickly noticed the staircase leading to the staff cafeteria nearby.
Surprisingly, the second floor was quite peaceful. Although there were still quite a few people eating, they all maintained good manners and there was no loud talking at all.
The environment on the second floor was quite nice, giving off a relaxed café vibe. Soft instrumental music played in the background, making it truly enjoyable.
Ye Mingshang chose a seat by the window. The food would take a little while since it was made fresh. He grabbed a cup of lemonade and began to admire the view outside.
"Hey? Ye, you're here too! What a coincidence," Zhi Mu said with a gentle smile as she walked over.
"Yeah, it's quieter here," Ye Mingshang replied. He didn't actually dislike Zhi Mu; she seemed to have a unique charm that made everyone feel at ease.
"Are you afraid of noise?"
"A little."
"Can I sit here? I always sit here; sitting elsewhere might be a bit uncomfortable for me."
"Sure."
Zhi Mu did not mind Ye Mingshang's indifference; he always wore a gentle smile. Although Ye Mingshang's responses were simple, he could always find something to talk about.
Even though Ye Mingshang arrived earlier, Zhi Mu came regularly. He always ate the same things, and the cafeteria staff were quite familiar with him. When it was about time, they would start preparing his meals. As a result, Zhi Mu's dinner was usually ready earlier.
Zhi Mu had invited Ye Mingshang to eat together, but he had declined.
Zhi Mu's dinner consisted of a steak, and he appeared quite refined. He ate in such a gentlemanly manner, always smiling gently, and it was rare to see him with his eyes fully open. Thinking of this made Ye Mingshang chuckle.
"Ye, what's wrong?" Zhi Mu asked in confusion.
"Nothing."
Ye Mingshang ordered two hamburgers and some other food. He rarely ate these things, but occasionally he liked to try something new.
"Ye, see you tomorrow."
"Goodbye."
After the meal, Ye Mingshang and Zhi Mu became quite familiar with each other. This boy who always wore a gentle smile could really put one's mind at ease.
It was still early, and Ye Mingshang did not plan to return to the dormitory just yet. With nothing much to do, he wandered around the campus.
"Hey! Do you dare bump into me? Are you looking for trouble?" A rather strong-looking guy bumped into him as he walked.
Ye Mingshang chose to ignore this guy's rudeness. In his words, explaining things was too troublesome. He didn't want to get involved with this annoying fellow.
"Hey! You think you can just walk away after acting like that?" A sycophantic-looking young man blocked Ye Mingshang's path.
"Step aside." Ye Mingshang said coolly.
"Hey! You're quite arrogant, aren't you? Do you know who I am?" Lackey Youth shouted.
"Young man, don't be too cocky. The world is vast, and there are many people you can't afford to offend." Strong Youth replied with a sidelong glance. Soon, three more young men gathered around.
Just like that, five young men confronted Ye Mingshang. Before long, many students had gathered around, some even taking out their phones to record the scene.
"Kid, don't be so arrogant. There are some people you can't afford to offend. Even if Brothers send you to the hospital today, nothing will happen. Do you believe it?" Strong Youth boasted.
"Move aside." Ye Mingshang said lightly, looking at the blocking Lackey Youth.
"Oh! You really don't know what death is..." Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Mingshang impatiently threw a punch. Although Ye Mingshang had held back, his strength was still beyond what an ordinary person could withstand. After taking a punch from him, Lackey Youth curled up like a boiled shrimp.
"Still dare to make a move? Go! Beat him to death!" The other three, aside from Strong Youth, charged at Ye Mingshang together.
"This is really troublesome." Though he didn't want to get involved, trouble often found him anyway.
