Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

I'm currently reading Chapter 126 of the novel "Glorious Sect, Hidden S-Rank Talent" on Cola Novel, completely absorbed in it.

Faculty and staff dormitory area, Building 6, Unit 5, Room 102.

Jiang Shangzhen, along with Xiao Yun and the others, knocked on the door.

Who is it?

An aged, deep male voice came from behind the door. Jiang Shangzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile bloomed on his face.

"It's me, teacher, Jiang Shangzhen. I've brought your grand-disciple to visit you."

A moment of silence followed, then a furious roar suddenly echoed through the room:

"Get out! I have no student like you, nor any grand-disciple like you!"

The security door slowly opened, and a bald old man with a face like Maitreya Buddha stood in the doorway, his snow-white eyebrows standing straight like knives, his face full of coldness.

"You wolves in sheep's clothing, slandering innocent people out of thin air, and you still have the nerve to come see me? Humph! Our sect has no place for two disgraceful creatures like you."

Jiang Shangzhen was taken aback and hurriedly waved his hand to explain.

"No, teacher, don't listen to those people's nonsense. Xiao Yun has been framed, and all the missing children have been found. Xiao Yun rescued them all herself..."

"Heh, Jiang Shangzhen, not only do you refuse to admit your mistakes, but you also spew out lies. Is that interesting? I'm old, not senile!"

Master Kong was furious, his face filled with disappointment as he looked at Jiang Shangzhen.

"Since you say the children were all rescued, what about my grandson? What about the others? Why hasn't anyone returned?"

"Your grandson? Chang Hao is here too, he's missing as well?"

Jiang Shangzhen gasped.

Kong Changhao has always lived outside with Kong Lao's son, so he must have come to visit Kong Lao during his vacation.

"I can't believe this happened. Oh no, it was too dark for me to see it earlier."

Jiang Shangzhen frowned, unable to utter a single word as his teacher scolded him.

Xiao Yun smiled wryly and tugged at Jiang Shangzhen's arm.

"Teacher, we came back too early. Let's wait until everyone else is back before we come back."

"Come here? Get lost right now, I can't accommodate two big shots like you here."

Old Master Kong puffed out his beard, glared, and slammed the security door shut.

The commotion attracted a crowd of onlookers, who pointed and whispered among themselves.

Jiang Shangzhen shook his head with a wry smile and looked at Xiao Yun:

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"What's the big deal? Let's hurry up and leave, or Master will be beheading us soon."

Xiao Yun smiled and waved his hand, then pulled Jiang Shangzhen away.

Just then, cheers erupted from outside:

"The child has been found! The child has been found!"

Everyone was startled and rushed over in a panic.

Xiao Yun and the others were stunned when the security door behind them suddenly opened.

"Found him! Oh, it's Chang Hao, my Chang Hao!"

Mr. Kong was about to run out, carrying one slipper, when he heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the stairwell.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I'm home!"

A somewhat thin boy ran back cheering, dashed to the door, and threw himself into Confucius's arms.

"I...I'm not dreaming, am I? My Chang Haozhen is back!"

Professor Cheng, Kong Lao's wife, also came out of the door, hugged the grandfather and grandson, and wept bitterly.

Xiao Yun and the others stood aside, watching quietly.

After a while, the three of them, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, calmed down.

As Grandpa Kong was about to lead his grandson into the house, he suddenly caught sight of Xiao Yun and the others.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Hurry up..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kong Changhao exclaimed in surprise:

"It's that big brother from earlier! Wow, big brother, those moves you made were so cool! Can you teach me?"

Kong Changhao broke free from Old Master Kong's hand, skipped over to Xiao Yun, and looked at Xiao Yun with admiration.

"Ahem, well... that's up to your grandfather."

Xiao Yun looked at the bewildered Elder Kong and smiled.

A few minutes later, after Kong Changhao's explanation, the two elderly people understood the whole story.

Professor Cheng, his eyes red-rimmed, gripped Xiao Yun's hand tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Xiao Yun, thank you, thank you for saving Chang Hao. I... I really don't know how to thank you enough."

Xiao Yun gently comforted Professor Cheng, and it took a long time for him to recover.

"You old man, you've lived for decades and read so many books, but they've all gone to waste. All you hear is that group of people outside making a racket; even your students and grand-disciples don't believe them."

Professor Cheng glared at Professor Kong with annoyance, then grabbed a book from the coffee table and slammed it on his head.

"Apologize to them right now!"

Old Master Kong looked ashamed and turned to look at Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun quickly waved his hand:

"No, no, no, how can I let my master apologize to me?"

"No, an apology is necessary."

Master Kong stood up with a solemn expression, bowed, and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Xiao Yun, I misunderstood you and your master."

"You two, master and apprentice, are both excellent. It's this old man who's gotten senile and his mind isn't working properly."

"Master, please don't say that. It's normal to lose your composure when you're anxious and upset. If you're so troubled, I won't dare to come see you again."

Xiao Yun quickly said.

The misunderstanding was cleared up, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Meanwhile, news of Xiao Yun rescuing the children also spread.

dong dong dong-

"Is Professor Kong home? I heard that Director Xiao was eating at your place. Principal Sun was worried that you might not have enough ingredients, so he asked me to bring you some."

Jiang Shangzhen got up, opened the door, took the things, and thanked him.

Principal Sun also said that regardless of the shortage of personnel,

Whether you need space or something else, just let us know, and we'll deliver it to you within five minutes.

"Yes, please thank Principal Sun for me."

Jiang Shangzhen closed the door, but before he could even sit down on the sofa, there was another knock on the door.

"Professor Kong? I heard the hero who saved the children is here. I took a little something as a token of my respect."

"Professor Kong, I heard that Director Xiao is eating at your place. I'm the cook, so let me help out. It would be a small token of my appreciation."

In the blink of an eye, the place became bustling with customers.

"I never imagined that my place would become so lively one day."

Master Kong sighed softly, his eyes flashing.

"Master, if you find it noisy, I'll go..."

"No, this is good, very good!"

Master Kong's face was radiant, and his smile was as bright as that of Maitreya Buddha.

He patted Xiao Yun's shoulder hard and said:

"Haha, good lad, you handled this matter brilliantly today, truly bringing honor to our sect!"

Before Xiao Yun could answer, Old Kong stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked to the door with a pigeon-toed gait.

"Oh dear, the thought is enough, there's no need to bring anything else."

"You flatter me, you flatter me. My grand-disciple is not even twenty years old. He's getting carried away by your praise."

"Alas, it's shameful to admit, but my good-for-nothing student has given me such a fine grand-disciple, and I haven't taught him much. I'm truly ashamed..."

Listening to Master Kong boasting at the door, Xiao Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

"That's just how your master is, you'll get used to it."

Professor Cheng smiled and started chatting with Xiao Yun and the others.

As dusk fell, the crowd outside gradually dispersed.

Professor Cheng busied himself preparing the meal, and Su Muqing also went into the kitchen to help.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Xiao Yun opened the system and used the last chance to send out a notification for the day.

[Ding! The preview information has been updated.]

[Kong Changhao, 10 years old, grandson of Kong Dingguo, has been in a worsening physical condition since transmigrating, and nothing he's tried can cure him… However, no one knows that this is because Kong Changhao has an innate constraint—his physical condition will continue to deteriorate before he gains his talent, but he can raise his talent by one level the first time he gains it!]

"Upgrade to a higher level? That means... from A to S?"

Xiao Yun's eyes widened instantly as he stared intently at Kong Changhao, who was twirling a wooden sword to the side.

Truly, such fine material and exquisite jade...

The family dinner began soon afterward, and not only Professor Kong's place, but the entire faculty and staff dormitory area was immersed in a joyful atmosphere because the children had been found.

In the underground parking garage of the teachers' apartment building, Sun Jianguo and Tang Shengan sat facing each other, the atmosphere deathly silent.

"Was it not ordered by anyone, but simply the Tang army's own ambition?"

Sun Jianguo stared at Tang Shengan for a long time, realizing he couldn't get any more information out of him, and prepared to leave.

"Principal, are you really prepared to compromise like this?"

Tang Shengan suddenly called out to him, a smile playing on his lips:

"From now on, we'll just follow Xiao Yun's orders? Take the instructions of a mere inexperienced student?"

Sun Jianguo remained silent, simply turning and leaving.

He just wanted everyone to live peacefully. Xiao Yun was capable, and judging from his actions today, he wasn't a bad person at heart. Compromising wouldn't be a big deal.

But before he could take a few steps, Tang Shengan chuckled softly behind him.

"Has the principal forgotten what Qi Huiming did?"

Sun Jianguo's strong body stood still, and he silently lowered his head.

Before he transmigrated, Qi Huiming was someone he had personally guided and promoted, and was considered a reliable and hardworking person.

However, after transmigrating, Qi Huiming, with his wolfish ambition, actually turned the tables and suppressed him, taking charge himself. Not only that, he also did many things that were full of complaints and grievances.

"Xiao Yun... is not on the same side as Qi Huiming."

"Really? Are you sure?"

Sun Jianguo fell silent again, head bowed, his eyes gleaming.

He is now in his fifties and boasts that he has seen the coldness and warmth of human relationships, can discern people's hearts, and knows how to use people well. However, the incident with Qi Huiming still left a great shadow on him.

Moreover, we can't afford to suffer another Qi Huiming's persecution...

Seeing Sun Jianguo turn his head, Tang Shengan smiled:

"Principal, do you actually have other options?"

"The other option, you mean the student council that fell into complete chaos after Qi Huiming's death?"

Sun Jianguo chuckled. If he was disappointed in Qi Huiming, he was utterly disgusted with the student council, which was now completely rotten.

"If that's the case, then there's no point in talking. I'd rather trust Xiao Yun."

"Don't be so quick to refuse, Principal. You may not know this, but Qi Huiming has a younger brother who is still alive and wants to reorganize the student council. However, he lacks the strength and would like to ask you for your help..."

After hearing his words, the shrewd and experienced Sun Jianguo quickly understood:

"You mean, I'm going to take Qi Xiaoran hostage and rise to power from behind the scenes?"

Tang Shengan nodded, but Sun Jianguo's expression grew even colder:

"After I transmigrated, I didn't really do anything wrong as the principal. Does that make you think I'm an idiot who would repeat the same mistakes?"

The immense pressure, as heavy as a mountain, was overwhelming, yet Tang Shengan's expression remained unchanged.

"This is a different principal. This time, we're the ones who asked you for help. You're in complete control, and..."

As he spoke, Tang Shengan handed him something.

"What is this?"

"Blank contract, self-defined, system-monitored execution, ensuring that neither party can violate the contract."

"This is our sincerity, Principal. You set the conditions, and we are willing to be your sword."

"That's all I have to say. Whether you take the initiative to control the overall situation or become a pawn in someone else's hands is entirely up to you, Principal."

Sun Jianguo looked at the blank contract in his hand, his eyes flashing.
