Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 137 Principal, can you lend me some money?

"You don't need to rush that. After you've rested, go find Han Ji. He should know where they are," the old principal said.

"both?"

"Yes, besides Jiang Shaoxu, there's also his cousin. I don't know Jiang Shaoxu's phone number; I just called his cousin. They came to Gudu for some business. I didn't ask, but Han Ji should know. I'll tell him later, and you can go directly to him," the old principal said.

"Okay," Su Ming said. He originally wanted to ask about the awakening, but his relationship with the old principal wasn't particularly good; they were just acquaintances. So, he had to ask himself.

Awakening requires money. Su Ming is currently very poor and has no money at all. He can make a little money from the hunters, but after the Nine Netherworlds, he still needs to go to some ancient tomb.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Su Ming knew a little about the ancient tomb. When he returned to the ancient capital for treatment, he talked to the teachers in the healing department. He heard that the place was very dangerous. There were no reports of anyone dying, but no one came out alive either.

That was extremely dangerous in Su Ming's view.

Sigh, life is unpredictable. I just got out of that awful place, Helan Mountain, and now I'm going to some ancient tomb.

Moreover, it's absolutely necessary to go. Putting aside the fact that Jiuyou Hou rescued him, it's understandable to repay the life-saving grace. Even if that hadn't happened, he still had to go. Putting aside the promise he made, the main issue is that Jiuyou Hou is elusive, and how could a few of you possibly find her?

If you anger the Nine Netherworld Queen, your life could be in danger.

I can go and check on Jiang Shaoxu in a couple of days.

Two days later, the old principal came over again, and Su Ming's hand was put back in place. He had almost recovered to his peak condition and was fine.

"Su Ming, I think I sense an unusual demonic energy coming towards you. I reckon it's coming for you, so I came to check," the old principal said.

Demonic power?

Is this old headmaster really that powerful? Su Ming didn't feel anything, but he knew it was normal. But when it comes to demonic power, there's only one person who would specifically come to find him: the Nine Netherworld Queen.

The old headmaster was able to sense that Jiuyou was leaning to one side; that's quite remarkable.

"Huh? You're Ding Zi's brat?" A black vortex suddenly appeared on the floor in front of Su Ming's bed, and a voice came from inside. A stunningly beautiful woman with a classical and elegant demeanor, whose upper body was only visible, emerged from it.

She wondered why there was an old man there, and a rather strong one at that. She was about to leave, but after observing him more closely, she realized that he was someone she knew.

"The Queen of the Nine Netherworlds?!" The old headmaster's eyes widened in disbelief.

He glanced at Jiu You, then at Su Ming, and asked uncertainly, "Are you here to see Su Ming?"

"That's right, otherwise do you think I came to see a wretched old man like you?" Jiuyou said, "Humans are really fragile. It's only been a few decades, and you've aged so much. You'll be dead soon."

"Haha." The old headmaster laughed awkwardly twice. "I'm not going to die. I'm still quite healthy and can live for several more decades without any problem."

"What do you want with Su Ming? He's a student at our school, and I'm the principal. If he's offended you in any way, could you please let it go for my sake?" the old principal pleaded.

"Who told you about me and Su Mingchou? He promised to go to the ancient tomb with me before, and he's rested well now, so I think we can go." Jiuyouhou said with a smile, and she walked very naturally to a chair next to her and leaned back.

Although she was always floating, her floating was equivalent to a human standing. Although she wasn't physically tired, she was still a little mentally exhausted. She used to like floating, but now she would lie down whenever she could and stay still as much as possible.

The old principal looked at Su Ming without saying a word, but asked a question with his eyes.

"That's true," Su Ming said. He was also preparing to go to the ancient tomb. There was no escaping it, so he might as well just go directly.

"I see." The old headmaster murmured. He knew a little about that ancient tomb. To be honest, he didn't want his students to go to such a dangerous place. However, they were all adults. He just didn't want them to go and didn't recommend it, but he wouldn't stop them.

Their lives are their own; they are all magicians, and they must walk the path they have chosen.

"Xiao Ding, relax. I'm not some villain. Otherwise, you would have died back then. How could you be alive and still be the principal of the academy?" Jiuyou laughed. "By the way, didn't you take a few people to Helan Mountain with you? Mu Ganjin and Mu Bai both went in, but we haven't heard from them since."

The old principal's lips twitched. Had all the outstanding people in their academy been ruined?

"Is there anything I should be aware of?" Su Ming asked. He felt that Jiu You Hou must know something, and if he could find out, it would be of great help to his actions.

"I don't know. That place is both dangerous and safe. Just be careful. It's just a training ground. I don't think it's dangerous. But I can't go. If those two idiots in the association start fighting, there won't be room for three people anywhere," Jiuyou said after thinking for a moment.

She knew some information, but it had been too long, and many of the arrangements must have changed. In addition, there were two more people involved, which made it difficult for her to bring up these things, otherwise it might harm Su Ming.

Empress Jiuyou wasn't sending them to their deaths; she didn't have that kind of twisted sense of humor. She'd rather they live as long as they could, since success would only benefit her. "Wait, Empress Jiuyou, if you're sending your students, why don't you go yourself?"

"Are you deaf? I just said we can't go," Jiuyouhou said irritably.

The old principal's expression changed slightly as he looked at Su Ming. He had been thinking about other things and hadn't really been paying attention.

Su Ming nodded and said, "She did just say that she couldn't go, and it's my promise to Jiuyouhou, so I have to go."

"Alright." The old headmaster was somewhat helpless. Since it was this way, he had no reason to stop him. It was his own choice.

Su Ming didn't really want to go, but he couldn't resist the power of the Nine Netherworld Queen. The old headmaster might be very powerful, but Su Ming estimated that she was still not as powerful as the Nine Netherworld Queen, since the Nine Netherworld Queen looked too terrifying.

Ye Quan is awesome, right? He's a super-level master, one of the most powerful mages in the world. But he's still no match for Jiu You Hou. He was beaten half to death and somehow managed to survive. The old headmaster is powerful, but he's definitely not as good as Jiu You Hou. After all, she's a great demon who's been around for thousands of years.

"My injuries have healed. I'll go prepare some things first and then head to the ancient tomb," Su Ming said, getting up from the bed and walking to the door.

Then she turned around, twirled her hair, and said to the old headmaster, "Headmaster, could you lend me some money?"

"Go ahead." The old headmaster thought for a moment, then tossed Su Ming a card. "Use it sparingly; you'll have to pay it back later."
