The Principal didn't return until two months after spring began. He appeared exhausted, his aura somewhat unsteady. His hand was also bandaged, but he seemed to be in a good mood.
When Wang Linchi went to see the Principal, there was a new secretary. Unlike her arrogant predecessor, this one was quite understanding and showed no dissatisfaction towards him.
She maintained a professional demeanor; she should be able to remain in the Principal's service for a good while.
"I was conscripted to solve a problem in a Secret Realm to the south. I almost didn't make it back, but luckily the issue was resolved just in time." The Principal motioned for Wang Linchi to sit down and asked the secretary to make tea before he continued.
After pouring the tea, the secretary wisely left, not staying to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Even Elite Gold Level experts were conscripted?!" Wang Linchi was somewhat surprised.
