After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"...Are celebrities these days so down-to-earth? Eating in the cafeteria?"

Ye Bai was puzzled for a moment, but then he understood why the group of students had been shouting so loudly.

It would be abnormal if no one screamed when a top celebrity like Xiang Ziming appeared in the school cafeteria.

It won't be long before this news goes viral, at least ranking in the top three.

"Superstar Xiang Ziming has made a surprise appearance at the cafeteria of Jingzhou Medical College!!"

Today's masses are completely obsessed with entertainment.

"This person is so annoying. Why does he have to come to the cafeteria at any time, when teachers and students are eating? He's obviously deliberately causing trouble..."

Jiang Nuai muttered something under her breath, but Ye Bai heard it clearly.

"You don't like this big star?"

Ye Bai was somewhat surprised and asked with a smile.

Judging from his experience, at least eight out of ten women were fans of Xiang Ziming, and most likely, die-hard fans.

The remaining two are either hosts like Tong Yan, who are frequently in the entertainment industry and have long been immune to the glamour of celebrity.

Or they're like Qin Wanqing, the standard sugar daddy, the kind of person celebrities beg to cling to.

Jiang Nuai clearly doesn't belong to either of these categories, so why isn't she interested in Xiang Ziming?

"Anyway, I just find him really annoying."

Jiang Nuai thought for a moment, then lowered her head, seemingly unable to find any specific reason.

"That's true, you don't need a reason to hate someone."

Ye Bai summarized the situation and didn't ask any more questions.

He and Xiang Ziming weren't exactly enemies, but they were definitely not friends either, so he naturally didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Xiang Ziming did not eat in the cafeteria; he simply strolled around for a bit before leaving.

Because Ye Bai and Jiang Nuai were seated in a corner, the big star probably didn't see him.

However, given Xiang Ziming's personality, even if he saw it, he definitely wouldn't come up to say hello.

Ye Bai is not Qin Wanqing, and has no attraction for Xiang Ziming whatsoever; on the contrary, she makes him feel very uncomfortable.

From the gossipy female teachers at the next table, Ye Bai learned why this big star had come to the medical school for a book signing and had also visited the cafeteria.

Xiang Ziming plans to donate ten million yuan to improve the facilities and food quality of the medical school cafeteria.

The person who facilitated this was Vice Principal Li.

Given such a grand gesture, it's only natural that Vice Principal Li would bring some students to support Xiang Ziming.

As for why Xiang Ziming suddenly donated so much money to the medical school, the group of female teachers had no idea.

In their eyes, Xiang Ziming is so handsome and kind-hearted, he is a perfect idol.

After lunch and a short rest, Ye Bai's second class began.

This time, there were no surprises. A lot of students came, and they were very enthusiastic, probably because Song Fuling had given them instructions beforehand.

After all, this was Ye Bai's first class in the Traditional Chinese Medicine major, so everyone had to give him as much face as possible.

The head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department disliked Ye Bai, but the head of the Traditional Chinese Pharmacy department had a very good impression of him.

After class, Ye Bai checked the time and decided to have Shen Lu drive him to the November Bar.

According to the agreement made in that bet, this bar should now belong to Ye Bai.

But Zhao Wuyai was clearly reluctant to part with it, and kept making excuses to delay the transfer of ownership.

However, Ye Bai's visit today was not for the transfer of ownership of the bar, but to find out whether it was a secret stronghold of scoundrels from the Xuanmen sect.

Jiang Nuai said she had heard before that the black-robed Taoist who approached Dong Yang had told him that he could find him at this bar if he needed anything, which meant that the Taoist was likely hiding inside the bar or somewhere nearby.

"Did your classes go well today, sir? By the way, I think I saw Xiang Ziming at the medical school too. Did he cause you any trouble? Also, it's only a little past three o'clock. Isn't it a bit early to go to a bar for drinks..."

On the way, Shen Lu kept chattering away as she drove.

The little girl was so bored that she sat in the car waiting for Ye Bai to finish class.

"There's a good chance a Taoist priest in black robes is hiding in that bar."

Ye Bai didn't find Shen Lu noisy and explained with a smile.

"That's wonderful! This time, son-in-law, please don't do it, let me do it!"

Shen Lu's big eyes lit up, and she instantly became excited.

This little girl is a typical warmonger, but she's been stuck with Ye Bai these past few days without getting a chance to fight, and she's itching to get back at him.

"..."

Ye Bai wanted to tell Shen Lu that she couldn't beat those scoundrels from the Xuanmen sect, but he was afraid of hurting her confidence, so he could only remain silent.

It seems I really need to train this little girl properly, so that I won't have to do it myself when I encounter trouble in the future.

Having guarded the mountains for ten years, Ye Bai had long been disgusted with anything involving bravery and violence.

The bar was reached shortly afterward.

Because of the time, the bar had just opened for business and was almost empty with few customers.

"Young master, there aren't any Taoist priests in black robes here either?"

After finding a spot with the best view, where they could see the entire bar, the two sat down. Shen Lu looked around and whispered in Ye Bai's ear.

"...He must have changed his clothes in a place like this; wearing a black Taoist robe would be too conspicuous."

Ye Bai gave a helpless explanation: This little girl is good in every way, but her intelligence is truly touching.

The "silliness" in Lulu's name is truly well-deserved.

"So, does that mean that guy might be posing as a bartender or something?"

Shen Lu blinked her big eyes and began to stare at the bartenders inside the bar.

"It's also possible that they'd pretend to be a regular customer."

Ye Bai said with a smile.

"That won't be easy to find..."

Shen Lu muttered, "Now everyone looks like a bad guy."

"It's alright. We've already called Aunt Feng. We won't go back for dinner tonight. We'll just wait here. We have plenty of time."

Ye Bai ordered some drinks and snacks, and he and Shen Lu ate while they waited.

It must be said that although Zhao Wuyai was a typical spoiled brat, he wasn't entirely without blame.

At least, this bar is doing quite well.

Drinks are pretty much the same everywhere; there's not much difference between bars, it's just a matter of whether it's real or fake alcohol.

However, the snacks were made by the bar itself and tasted quite good, although they were a bit pricey, but they were still worth the money.

"Ye Bai, have you finished your class? Come find me at the group headquarters in a bit, we're going to transfer ownership of Zhao Wuyai's bar..."

Just over half an hour after Ye Bai and Shen Lu finished eating and drinking, Qin Wanqing suddenly called.

"...What a coincidence, I'm right here."

Ye Bai couldn't help but laugh, realizing that he and Queen Qin were quite in sync at times.

He came to the bar today to find someone, and Qin Wanqing is also here to transfer ownership. It's really fate that they can meet at any time.
