Lin Fan could tell that this straw hat old man had some idea of his situation, that was why he had said those last words.

Lin Fan was currently on the edge of the knife as most noble families wanted a piece of his shop and he had already made enemies with both the Ding and Zhao Families. ​​

Right now he was completely lacking in allies and if he didn't make some soon, he might be forced into a desperate situation as more and more people set their eyes onto his shop.

If possible, he didn't want to be forced into making Angela or Momonga reveal their power since that would risk exposing their true identities.

This was a human dominated planet and if there were members of the other races, especially high ranking members like Angela and Momonga, it might bring real trouble by alerting the upper realm and having them send down experts to investigate.

Lin Fan might even be charged with treason against humanity if that were to happen and he definitely didn't have enough power to protect his new family if that were the case.

The only thing he could do now was gather more allies while growing his shop and increasing his own power.

So the straw hat old man's conditions were quite tempting to Lin Fan.

The academy that Luo Qing attended was considered one of the top schools in the city, even though it was a school that catered to normal students.

Still, the academy was said to be comparable to noble families and there were quite a few noble families that sent their children here.

So if Lin Fan received the protection of the school and could establish connections here, not only would it deter many nobles, it would also make it easier for him to become allied to different noble families.

After thinking it through, Lin Fan finally said, "Esteemed elder, that is a very generous offer, but what exactly do you mean by benefits?"

The straw hat old man said, "Well, you'll receive the same salary as a normal teacher and you will receive points that can be used for exchange like students of our school."

Lin Fan was confused by this and he turned to Luo Qing who quickly explained the system to him.

Students received points based on their grades and the different missions they completed for the school, which they could use to exchange for items and cultivation techniques from the school.

This was one of the main reasons why noble families sent their children here, it was all to exchange for items from this school's library because it was one of the biggest collections in the city. It was said that most of it had been collected by the principal.

Then Lin Fan turned back to ask, "Elder, how many points will I be receiving?"

The straw hat old man said with a smile, "It's quite generous, you'll receive fifty thousand points per class."

Lin Fan turned back to Luo Qing and this time she had a shocked look.

He poked her and she came back to her senses, quickly explaining to him.

Most students at this school wouldn't even receive a thousand points per year, only the top students earned more than a hundred thousand, but Lin Fan would be receiving fifty thousand per class and he would only teach once a month.

That meant that Lin Fan would be receiving five hundred thousand points each year, which was an unbelievable amount!

Lin Fan fell into thought when he heard this. What was the plan of the principal? Why was he offering him such generous terms?

Was it because of his so-called master or did he have some other objectives?

Lin Fan looked at the straw hat old man and he couldn't see through that smile.

In the end, Lin Fan decided to accept this offer since it was easier to find the straw hat old man's intention by accepting first.

Lin Fan said, "Elder, your offer is beyond generous and I would be honoured to accept it."

The straw hat old man looked at Lin Fan before revealing a smile, "Alright, then Xiao Lin, since you're joining our faculty, there's no need to address me so formally. You can just call me principal like everyone."

Lin Fan returned the smile and said, "Alright, principal."

The straw hat old man took out a token from his pocket and gave it to Lin Fan, "Xiao Lin, this is the token of a special class teacher for our school, it's yours from now on. As for when you'll teach your first class, I'll come by your store in a few days to discuss this with you."

Lin Fan took the token and put it away before cupping his hands, "Alright, principal. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

The principal just said, "Un."

With that, the youngest teacher in the history of this school had been hired.

Once Lin Fan left the teacher's lounge, the straw hat old man narrowed his eyes and turned to the three vice principals.

The three old men all quickly bowed their heads and didn't dare look up. Tang Wen who was more tactful said, "Master…" But the straw hat old man cut him off.

The straw hat old man said in a cold voice, "I turn away for a second and you all do something like this. Do you know whose disciple you were trying to encroach on?"

The three of them looked at each other in confusion before saying, "Master, what do you mean?"

The straw hat old man said, "Even Old Mu couldn't see through that shop and you're trying to poach their disciple, are you trying to destroy our academy?"

The three old men were shocked when they heard this since they only knew a single Old Mu that their master knew.

It was the Legendary Realm Expert, the Forest King Mu Bo Hai!

Even a Legendary Realm Expert couldn't see through that shop, just how terrifying was it?

The straw hat old man said, "Don't provoke them anymore and treat Lin Fan with respect, that is the only way we can make up for this."

The three old men nodded before meekly walking off.

The three old men bickered like that because they were disciples that had trained together and their master was the principal! Even now they still couldn't come close to matching their master.

It was said that the principal was someone who was in the Platinum Realm, but they knew that their master was actually in the peak of the Platinum Realm, which was the peak of humanity other than the Legends.

Their master was also someone who was close to the Forest King Mu Bo Hai, so no one dared to provoke their master without a good reason.

Yet now their master was actually being cautious towards this store, it showed that this was not an ordinary store.

After the three vice principals left, the straw hat old man tapped his finger on the table beside him as he fell deep into thought. But after a while, he gave a sigh and walked out of the room.

…

Lin Fan's experience at the festival was finally over and he could go back to his store, but before that, his little sister caught him.

As he was prepared to leave the school, he was caught by his little sister who had been waiting at the entrance the entire time.

Lin Fan was just minding his own business when he was suddenly grabbed by the neck and pulled away.

He was shocked at first and wanted to struggle, but once he saw that it was Lin Xue, Lin Fan just accepted it since he knew that this was coming already.

Lin Xue brought him to the back of the school and threw him against the wall before pointing a finger in his chest, "Tell me, was it fun seeing my act like a fool all this time?"

Lin Fan didn't know what to say and had a difficult expression on his face, but after gathering his thoughts, he raised his hand in surrender and slowly said, "It isn't what you think, I didn't do anything to make you a fool."

Lin Xue coldly glared at him, "Yet here I am looking like a fool. Not even knowing that my own big brother was actually a Gold Realm Expert."

Lin Fan wanted to explain, but he couldn't exactly tell Lin Xue that he had a magical system that had changed everything.

So in the end, Lin Fan just remained silent.

Lin Xue saw that Lin Fan wasn't saying a word, so she just gave a cold snort and left.

Lin Fan began racking his brain on how to solve this problem, but what he didn't know was that the problem he thought wasn't actually the problem that he had.

All this had actually raised Lin Fan's position in Lin Xue's mind and she loved him even more. After all, he had purposefully hid his cultivation for years just to give her all the best resources, it meant that he clearly loved her too!

Now that he was a Gold Realm Expert, as long as she became stronger too, it didn't matter what the rest of the world thought since she could silence them with her strength!

She would become so strong that she would break the taboo between them and own Lin Fan!
