Chapter 1055: 739 Lone Brave_2

"He did it?"

"Some people never need to spell things out too clearly."

"Yep, I just had a chat with him."

"He should handle his own mess."

Cao Jinse said at a leisurely pace, "The Fang Family took a hard fall this time. If they find out he was the one causing trouble behind the scenes, they might not handle things by the book."

"You planning to get involved?"

"How can I just stand by and watch? After all, he’s a friend."

"What’s in it for you?"

Lan Peizhi was quite straightforward.

Cao Jinse chuckled and gave an incomplete explanation, "He’s very clever; he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse."

Lan Peizhi certainly wouldn’t dig deeper.

"How did he end up fighting with the Fang Family again?"

"It’s because of a childhood friend. This guy, there’s one thing quite remarkable about him—he values friendship and loyalty, which can be both a strength and a weakness. But I suddenly started wondering, if something happened to me one day, he probably wouldn’t just stand by and watch, right?"

"Hard to say."

At that, Cao Jinse couldn’t help but laugh again.

"Since he loves stirring the pot so much, let him be. Shaking up these clans might not necessarily be a bad thing."

Lan Peizhi’s tone was neither light nor heavy, full of implication.

Cao Jinse fell silent for a while.

"It’s too difficult."

"He’s probably not afraid."

Hearing this, Cao Jinse laughed again, louder this time.

Indeed.

Think about that guy’s deeds, like a newborn calf that isn’t afraid of tigers.

But no matter how bold and youthful he is, challenging a class system that has lasted for thousands of years with his power alone...

A lone brave soul.

"Aunt Lan isn’t worried at all?"

Cao Jinse asked tentatively.

When it came to closeness, she certainly couldn’t compare with the person on the other end of the phone.

"I don’t know anything."

Lan Peizhi answered succinctly.

Cao Jinse smiled, finding the other party much more... humorous than before.

Was this her way of blaming him for not telling her?

"Better not know, Aunt Lan. Pretend I never said anything to avoid a headache."

After ending the call, Cao Jinse dove back into her work. Today, without working overtime, she left the office at a quarter past five, drove to Kyoto University, smoothly entered the gate, and parked in front of a teaching building.

She sat in the car, waiting left and right. By the time it was past six and still no sign of him, she pushed the door open and walked into the teaching building.

"Knock, knock..."

She went upstairs to the office, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and entered.

Inside the office.

A teacher and student were talking, probably the student came for some advice, hence the delay.

Seeing she had interrupted, Cao Jinse gave an apologetic look and immediately decided to step out.

"It’s done."

The male teacher stopped her and then introduced her to the student, "My sister."

Upon hearing this, the student immediately greeted Cao Jinse politely, "Hello."

The students of Kyoto University were not undeserving of the title "pillar of the nation." This male student, who legitimately entered Kyoto University, was not like the bookworms who only immerse themselves in the texts of the sages; he had bright eyes, clearly the type who wanted to be opinionated.

"Hello."

Cao Jinse nodded and smiled, very approachable.

"Teacher Cao, I’ll be heading out then."

The male teacher nodded.

As the student left the office, he didn’t forget to give Cao Jinse a friendly smile.

That’s what the students of a higher education institution should be like, knowledgeable and polite.

"Why are you free to visit me today?"

Despite his limp, the male teacher went to the water cooler and poured a glass of water for his sister.

"I came to pick you up from work."

Cao Jinse beamed.

"I’m flattered."

The male teacher handed over the water glass.

"Bro, keep talking like that, and I’ll get angry."

Cao Jinse took the water glass with a look of discontent.

Cao Xiugo, just an ordinary teacher at Kyoto University, smiled slightly, "Then you’ll have to wait a bit longer, I need to pack up my things."

"No rush."

Cao Jinse took a sip of water, looking around, "Bro, it doesn’t seem like you’re doing much of a job teaching. You haven’t even gotten a promotion yet."

Cao Xiugo was nonchalant, "Is there a necessary correlation between professional title and teaching level?"

"How can there not be? If you were good at teaching, Kyoto University would definitely promote you."

Cao Jinse held her water glass, her eyes teasing.

Unperturbed, he responded as if justifying, "Then explain this to me—if I really weren’t any good, why would students still come to me for advice after class?"

"Who knows if it was you who called him here."

Cao Jinse continued to tease, "If he displeases you, you could deduct some points from him. Where would he go to cry about it then?"

Cao Xiugo said, "He’s this year’s national top scholar."

Cao Jinse was at a loss for words for a moment; then she asked, "The national top scholar?"

"Uh-huh."

Cao Jinse’s eyes reflected her surprise.

Every region has its own top scholars, but there’s only one national top scholar a year.

She couldn’t help but turn her head to look towards the door, "Doesn’t look it, huh."

It’s true.

Generally, those who are good at studying usually wear glasses and might dress more "casually," let alone a top scholar.

But the boy who had just left looked quite spirited.

"Brother, you’re not bluffing, are you?"

Cao Jinse "questioned."

"What’s there to bluff about? Is it that surprising?"

Cao Xiugo replied nonchalantly.

"The national top scholar and he still needs your advice? Brother, if you took the exam now, you’d probably not even match up to him, right?"

Cao Jinse’s words were indeed a bit cutting, but she also somewhat saved her brother’s face by adding a speculative "probably."

"A student need not be lesser than the teacher, nor must the teacher be wiser than the student."

Cao Xiugo responded calmly to his sister’s continuous teasing.

"Uh-huh, that’s quite the sage-like response."

Cao Jinse lowered her head to drink some water.

Cao Xiugo smiled, "I can go back on my own."

"No way, that’s a waste of money."

"You’re not spending your money, can’t I spend my own salary?"

"Bro, that’s the wrong approach. Why not save when you can? If you have so much money, why not lend me some?"

Hearing this, Cao Xiugo cast a peculiar glance at her, "Rare indeed is your visit to the Treasure Hall without an agenda. No wonder you’re so kind today. You, a wealthy person, have the nerve to covet my money?"

"Aren’t you my brother? If I don’t take from you, from whom shall I take?"

Cao Jinse was unabashed, regarding it as a matter of course.

"Really short on cash?"

Cao Xiugo asked.

Cao Jinse blinked.

"There are so many distinguished families in Capital City, why not ask them for a loan?"

"If my own brother won’t help me, how can I expect strangers to? Besides, I can’t guarantee that I can bring them any benefits, so why would they lend me money."

"Didn’t you just spend a considerable amount of money founding the Great Wall?"

"That’s why I’m short on money now."

"Fine, I’ll check how much I have in my salary card later and lend you some first."

Cao Xiugo was quite a dependable brother.

Cao Jinse wasn’t moved, in fact, she rolled her eyes.

"Just keep it."

"Looking down on it?"

"Even if I’m really short on money, I can’t drive my brother to ruin."

Cao Jinse sighed, "Too bad, rich people only help other rich people."

Cao Xiugo smiled and did not reply, just finished packing up, and the siblings headed downstairs.

"Tell me, how much is the shortfall? I’ll see if I can think of something."

Once in the car, Cao Xiugo said.

After all, a brother’s concern for his sister.

"I was just kidding. After all, you’re a great Soul Engineer for humanity. How can I let you get tainted by the vulgar smell of money?"

Cao Jinse chuckled as she started the car, which was a domestic vehicle worth just over two hundred thousand. It didn’t attract any attention at Kyoto University.

As they were about to drive out of the campus, they saw the national top scholar again, riding a bike, full of vigor and vitality.

"Today’s top scholars are not like they used to be."

Cao Jinse murmured through the window.

"When he was being recruited, the recruitment office asked him what unwavering ideals prompted him to study so hard. Do you know how he answered?"

"For a better life? Higher social status?"

Cao Jinse drove past the guy, smiling, "Or was it for the rise of Shenzhou?"

"None of those."

Cao Xiugo said softly, with a slight upward curve of his mouth, "He said he studied so that no one in the world would have to be ’above’ anyone else."

Cao Jinse was taken aback.

Study not to become ’above’ others but so there would be no one ’above’ others?

Cao Jinse turned her head.

"Quite an interesting answer, isn’t it?"

Cao Jinse smiled.

"Uh-huh, indeed interesting."

"What do you think the world will be like in a few more years?"

Cao Jinse did not answer, but suddenly it seemed to click, the significance of her brother’s choice to teach.
