Song Qingya's thoughts were beyond the reach of Zhu Tianqi, and Qin Yexuan had not anticipated them either.
He believed he had thoroughly settled matters with the Song family and had returned to the dormitory with peace of mind.
Dormitory 803 was now in disarray.
Cases of beer were stacked everywhere, and four desks were pushed together, a large hot pot from Haidilao placed in the center, steaming.
Five high-end Alienware computers were being tested, fiber optics snaking in from outside, piled into a ball hanging above the eldest brother's bed.
The four brothers were drinking beer and eating hot pot, snacks strewn about.
Looking at the other dormitories, they too were scenes of revelry.
"Fifth is back, wow, the emperor of our 803 is back!"
Qin Yexuan shook his head, "You guys are so audacious, with the big classes starting tomorrow? Haven't the dorm supervisor and discipline department come looking for you?"
The eldest brother's face was flushed from drinking, and he chuckled foolishly, "Fifth, look outside. Everyone is drinking and playing games. You know, our school's second-in-command, Director Zhang, has gone missing!"
Li Hao smiles and chuckles, "Director Zhang has gone missing. Some say he was murdered, some say he fled abroad. Our Chaoge high command has specifically sent people to investigate, saying it's related to recent urban legends."
Chaoge was currently on edge. The area near the academy was fine, but in the urban areas, there were legends of monsters almost daily.
Therefore, Director Zhang's disappearance was immediately suspected to be a case involving monsters.
Qin Yexuan was speechless.
Director Zhang had been pulverized into dust by Zhu Tianqi, not a speck remaining. It would likely end with no conclusion, and could only be treated as a case related to monster legends.
"Now the old dean has been taken away, and the candidates for the next dean are all suspended for investigation. The teachers have canceled their classes."
The eldest brother was well-informed, putting his arm around Li Hao's shoulder as he spoke about various campus news while drinking.
"The school has banned the student union from holding school beauty and prince selections. Now they've gone underground and even built a new website. Oh right, Fifth, you're currently ranked seventh in the school prince election."
Qin Yexuan's expression turned grim. He opened his laptop and entered the website address his eldest brother had mentioned, indeed seeing himself listed on the school prince rankings. The votes had already exceeded 1500, while the top-ranked individual had over 20,000 votes.
"Can this thing be manipulated? Shall we help Fifth out?"
Qin Yexuan felt extremely uncomfortable, "Absolutely not. We need to find a way to have me removed."
"There's no way. It was done by the academy's technical wizards. No one can hack into it."
Qin Yexuan took a deep breath and looked at the school beauty rankings. Well, they were all familiar faces.
The undisputed number one was Su Yuluo.
With her mastery of the Thousand Fox Charm technique, Yuluo wouldn't just win the school beauty contest; she would easily win any world beauty pageant.
Bai Xin Yue and Song Jin Er, Zhu Tianqi's two female servants, had risen in the rankings to fourth and fifth place.
Below Su Yuluo were two other girls, both charming and with ethereal temperaments.
He needed Zhu Tianqi to enroll as soon as possible. She had to win the school beauty crown and completely defeat Yuluo. Only then could Su Yuluo maintain a degree of low profile and avoid being prematurely besieged by the monsters from Ling Meng Mountain.
Who would have thought that the Ling Meng Mountain incident would now begin with a college beauty pageant?
Qin Yexuan had actually considered various other plans.
For example, using the power of the imperial capital to directly suppress Su Yuluo, confining her and forbidding her from attending university.
Or taking control of Chaoge Academy, arranging all his own people, so that Su Yuluo couldn't even leave her dorm.
But all these plans had a fatal flaw.
They would provoke Su Yuluo's resistance. Qin Yexuan knew this girl well; outwardly gentle but inwardly strong. She was just entering university life, a time she yearned for the most. If she were forcefully suppressed, it would inevitably lead to more intense rebellion.
Once Su Yuluo was bewitched by the demons of Ling Meng Mountain, all his efforts would be in vain.
"I can't possibly control her for my entire life."
Qin Yexuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Fifth, why are you sighing? I heard Song Qilin is finished. All his awards for bravery and outstanding youth have been canceled. Next, the school will immediately hold elections for new student union leaders. He won't be able to cause trouble for long."
Qin Yexuan smiled, "It's such a good day, why talk about him? Come, let's drink!"
He finally let go of his reserve and completely integrated into the university dormitory environment.
That night, everyone was drunk and dizzy. In the early morning, Li Hao was still pulling the eldest brother to play games. Their dormitory had five high-end computers, totaling at least three to five hundred thousand.
In the morning, Qin Yexuan was the first to wake up. He took a shower in the misty fog, changed into a new shirt and new trousers, took a stroll around campus, and bought some breakfast on the way back.
Shortly after entering the dormitory, while others were still fast asleep, a harsh horn sound echoed from the large sports field outside.
The dorm supervisors knocked on the doors one by one: "Meeting time, everyone up, the new semester's Monday assembly, chaired by our Chairman Song Qilin."
The eldest brother rubbed his eyes, yawned, and said with surprise, "Didn't that guy get hospitalized?"
Qin Yexuan's expression darkened, "He just broke a finger; it's fine once it heals. But for him to return to school so quickly, and to hold an all-hands meeting while the teachers are away, I suspect it's aimed at our dorm."
"You can't be serious, him being the student union chairman, would he pick on our little dorm?"
Qin Yexuan shook his head, "Because he suffered a great loss, and all of this is related to Fourth's watch."
Li Hao became a little scared.
They didn't clearly remember what happened in the alley last night, but they vaguely knew they had offended someone they shouldn't have.
"You four take leave, I'll go alone!" Qin Yexuan directly restrained the impulsive eldest brother, "Don't worry, I won't suffer any losses. You guys can't handle this situation."
While the four hesitated, Qin Yexuan had already left, and had even locked the door.
"Is Fifth going to be okay?"
"What could happen? At most, he won't attend this broken school anymore. I'll have my family arrange a new school for him, you guys can join too!" Li Hao, worthy of being from a wealthy family, spoke with such confidence.
Over there, when Qin Yexuan arrived at the large sports field, he saw Song Qilin sitting in a wheelchair, his hands still bandaged, but with a smug smile on his face.
He seemed to treat his injuries as medals of a man, proudly displaying them.
And those sycophants from the student union surrounded him, whispering.
Qin Yexuan scanned the crowd and did not see Su Yuluo.
On the podium, Song Qilin also asked, "Where is junior Su Yuluo? She is the future president, why isn't she attending such an important meeting?"
"Oh, I heard she took leave to see some elder."
Song Qilin was displeased, "You know quite a bit. See what elder?"
The fellow chuckled, "I'm in the same department as Su Yuluo. My girlfriend is in the same dorm as her. My woman overheard Su Yuluo when she called to take leave."
Hmm?
Song Qilin's interest was immediately piqued, "Your girlfriend is in her dorm? Heh heh, can you take some of those kinds of pictures?"
What kind of pictures... everyone understood.
The fellow immediately whispered, "That depends on whether my girl agrees. How about this, if I find an opportunity to give her an Hermès bag, she'll do anything."
A group of people burst into unrestrained laughter.
Qin Yexuan heard it all, his eyes narrowed: Song Qilin, it seems my kindness has been completely wasted. Your sister, your mother, your entire family are in my grasp. You'd better not force me to truly act against your Song family!
