In the legend, Wenquxing is one of the Northern Dipper stars, belonging to Aqua Water. Wenquxing has a refined nature and governs literary fortune. (There are multiple Wenquxing figures in legends, such as Bi Gan, Fan Zhongyan, Wenquxing, Wenxiang, Xu Xian's son Xu Shilin, and Liu Bowen, all of whom are considered Wenquxing, but here I refer to only one.) There should be no description in the book about the combat power of Wenquxing as a model for civil officials, right? Here I clearly tell you that Wenquxing is just a weakling who can be defeated in one move...
Red Boy and I stood outside the principal's office while the principal lay inside on the couch groaning. Red Boy must not have gone all out; otherwise, we wouldn't be outside the office but rather outside a funeral home.
"You... come in..." Wenquxing weakly urged Red Boy and me to enter. That old man fell quite badly; it seemed he landed face-first. His nose was nearly flattened, blood trickling down from his mouth along his beard, staining it red. His face was also injured and had already been bandaged by the school doctor.
"This is your fault." I glared at Red Boy. "Apologize quickly; what are you waiting for?"
I pointed at the old man again. "You rushing out from behind me for no reason is practically asking for trouble! I thought we had a scammer here."
The old man glared with eyes wide open, his beard nearly touching the ceiling. "So you guys just went ahead and attacked? Cough cough... Luckily this old man has a sturdy body; otherwise, I'd be reporting to Old Yan."
Old Yan should refer to Yama King...
"I'm sorry; I really didn't see it was you." Red Boy recognized his mistake and sincerely apologized.
"Forget it, forget it; a gentleman doesn't hold grudges." Wenquxing said. "Whose child are you?"
"Good Fortune Boy under Avalokiteshvara of the South Sea, Red Boy," I introduced Red Boy.
"Oh my, it's Good Fortune Boy!" Wenquxing changed from his previous stern demeanor; his beard hung by his mouth, and he seemed to be trying to please Red Boy.
Red Boy panicked instantly, but I could see that Wenquxing's status above wasn't as high as Red Boy's. After all, he was someone under a Bodhisattva. Although Wenquxing appeared imposing as a star figure, his ranking couldn't be too high; in human terms, he was roughly equivalent to a city-level leader. Red Boy's patron Guanyin Bodhisattva should be considered a top-tier official.
"I didn't expect to run into you here," Wenquxing's attitude shifted dramatically. "How's it going? The celestial school's management isn't bad, right? Is there any major that interests you? I can arrange it for you."
"No need." Upon seeing this situation that he couldn't handle, Red Boy unexpectedly turned to leave. I liked his straightforward personality; he was blunt and could sell out his teammate with just one sentence...
After Red Boy left, Wenquxing waved his hand to close the door and changed his expression again.
"You are Yin Zheng'an, right?" He began to look serious; I really couldn't tell which face was his true state.
"Yes."
"Is your master still around?"
"Master has already left." Thinking of my master, he was quite good to me, and the things he left behind were increasingly powerful. He must have left all his belongings to me, right?
"Left?" Wenquxing said in astonishment, looking somewhat anxious. "Yeah, I should have guessed it. That's just his personality; he throws off his burdens and leaves us with a pile of things."
Then Wenquxing spread out the rice paper on the table, picked up a brush, wrote a few lines, and with a flick of his hand, the rice paper ignited on its own.
"Enough is enough. It's time to hand everything over to the young ones."
Wenquxing turned to look at me seriously. "Yin Zheng'an, listen well."
I stood up straight, feeling that Wenquxing was about to tell me something significant.
"I was born before Deification." I didn't expect Wenquxing to start reminiscing about himself.
"I remember back then I was called Bi Gan." So he was the famous Bi Gan, Prime Minister: "I died under Shang Zhou Wang's command. I was conferred the title of Wenquxing by Tai Gong, and it's been over three thousand years now. The last Shang Zhou Wang committed too many sins and was suppressed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva beneath the Sea of Blood. Recently, I've heard unrest from the Sea of Blood. There may be great calamities in the human world; you need to be vigilant."
"I will remember this."
"Red Boy should at least call me ancestor." Wenquxing said self-deprecatingly. "He's a good kid; it's just that I neglected him back then. Since you've brought him along, make sure to teach him well."
As he grew older, he became more childlike. It turned out that Wenquxing was just teasing Red Boy earlier, wanting him to go out because he had something to discuss with me.
"Red Boy has been well disciplined by the Bodhisattva," I replied, which was true. Compared to that mischievous child from Fire Cloud Cave, Red Boy had changed so much.
Wenquxing's eyes were filled with wisdom: "I understand this better than you do. Right now, he is only being suppressed by Buddha Nature; if he were to abandon it, he would become more violent and unruly. What you need to do is always guide him."
"The storm is about to strike the building; it's coming soon," Wenquxing suddenly muttered to himself. His expression changed abruptly as he waved his hand, and I was unexpectedly dismissed from the Principal's Office.
"Go!" Wenquxing's voice came from behind.
I turned and left.
In the Principal's Office, Wenquxing stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window.
“Old Friend, this is the last time I believe in you. If I wait any longer, there will be no time left, no time at all.” The words carried a sense of weariness and helplessness.
Suddenly, I was caught off guard by the principal. I felt like a monk who had lost his way, completely bewildered. Forget it, my greatest strength is not to compete with the future; whatever!
I used my phone to contact Red Boy and found out which classroom he was in.
As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw a crowd of people surrounding the classroom, all of them Sisters! What’s going on?
“He's so handsome! Oh my, I can't take it anymore; my heart is racing!”
“I want to give him a hug! So cute!”
“I’m so overwhelmed by cuteness!” A group of Sisters exclaimed.
Who were they talking about? I was really curious, but there were just too many people for me to squeeze in.
“Hey! Whose phone dropped?” I shouted deliberately, and sure enough, the Sisters around me all looked down to search for their phones. (It’s not that I couldn’t use a better method; I just thought a bunch of Sisters wouldn’t be necessary.)
Taking advantage of the commotion, I pushed my way through to get a closer look.
In the middle of the crowd stood a Dinosaur.
To be precise, it was “Dinosaur” dressed in a Dinosaur costume—Red Boy was wearing an adorable Guan Gu dinosaur pajama and looking at me innocently.
“Pfft…” I tried hard to hold back my laughter, but I just couldn’t help it: “Hahaha!”
Red Boy stared at me with eyes that were almost turning red…
“Ding ding ding~”
The class bell must have saved me; one by one, those Sisters rushed back to their classrooms, and soon the boys started entering the classroom as well.
This is a standard Art Studio classroom, and I immediately spotted Lin Miaomiao sitting in front of an easel. I shamelessly made my way over.
Lin Miaomiao was focused on organizing some painting tools. When she looked up and saw me, she pulled over a blank canvas and gestured for me to sit there.
I quietly asked her, "Who dressed up my cousin like that?"
Lin Miaomiao's face turned red. "I did."
"Well done!" I gave her a thumbs up. "I didn't expect that guy could really make a living off his looks." I chuckled to myself.
Lin Miaomiao laughed too and playfully kicked me with her leg. "Are you jealous?"
"How could I be? I make a living off my talent."
"Shameless."
"Hey, hey, hey! Classmates sitting over there, no flirting during class time," the teacher who entered pointed at me and Lin Miaomiao.
We quickly composed ourselves, putting on our best obedient expressions.
Little did I know, behind me were a pair of wolf-like eyes staring at me and Red Boy...
