As expected, upon hearing Ye Yinzhong's apology, Nina's expression improved somewhat. "You little scamp, to be honest, where have you been running off to these past few days? You're only coming back now."
"Yezhong thought of a way to explain, 'I went to Qincheng! That's my territory, I have to go take a look. As soon as I got back, I didn't even have time to sit down, and immediately came to see you. Nina grandma, calm down, getting angry is bad for your health.'"
Nina let go of Ye Yin's ear and snorted, saying: "You still know how to care about me? Humph, go to Qin City then. And you even ran off with Haiyang too! Xiduofu specially came to find me once to ask about Haiyang's whereabouts. I knew it was you who did it."
"Uh... Grandma, we can't say that. We're just going to take a look together. And there are other people too." Ye Yinzhu said tentatively.
Nina heard Ye Yin Zhu calling her without using her full name, directly saying "Niang Niang" (grandma), and the anger on her face miraculously dissipated, even with a few hints of blush, "You little brat always knows how to get me into trouble. You're back now, that's enough, next time if you want to go anywhere, you must report to me in advance, did you hear?"
"Yes, yes, certainly." Ye Yin Zhu said with a bitter smile.
Nina's eyes revealed a hint of resentment, "That silly Silvio, actually gave you Koniah City as your territory. That broken place, doesn't even have a clear mark on the map. A barren and desolate land. I really don't know what he was thinking. I'll go find him later and get him to change your territory."
"Oh no! Grandma." Ye Yin Zhu had already tasted the sweetness of calling ***. Nina's change was naturally observed by him. Immediately completely changed his tone, "Grandma, Qin City is pretty good. I like the environment there. Quiet and elegant. And Uncle Silvio also exempted me from taxes there."
Nina said irritably: "You just shout. He is my brother, you call him uncle, but call me grandma, this generation is messy."
"Then what should I call you? Who made you so much older than Uncle Silvio, anyway? I call Xiang Luan 'senior sister', but I certainly can't call his father 'grandfather'."
Nina's face revealed a hint of a smile, "Alright, call me whatever you want. Just don't change how you address me. Speaking of Xiang Luan, you'd better be careful. You've taken Haiming away, but didn't take her out to have fun. This girl is harboring a lot of resentment and might just find ways to get back at you."
Yezhong bamboo bitterly smiled and said: "It's not that I don't want to bring her. But she is the imperial princess, how can she casually leave the capital? I don't want to be hunted down by Uncle Silvio." Xiangluan of course couldn't be brought along. Not to mention the situation with the construction of Qincheng, which this princess must not know about, just the things that happened in the extreme north wilderness and the secrets between himself and Zi are things she absolutely cannot know about. This concerns the safety of many people. Even if Yezhong bamboo trusted Xiangluan, her identity is after all sensitive.
Nina pointed to the sofa beside her, "Sit down, you don't look like you've traveled a long distance at all. Hmm, are you hot? Why are you sweating?"
It's no wonder he's sweating. The clothes Ye Yin Zhu is wearing now are equivalent to those for autumn, suitable for the climate on the side of Qin City. Just being scared by Nina like that, it's natural to sweat.
"It's okay." Ye Yin Zhu sat down on the sofa, "Grandma, I came to see you today because I have something to discuss. The registration for new students in the Divine Music Department hasn't ended yet, right?"
Nina's smile on her face suddenly became thicker, and she nodded, saying: "It's not over yet. About our new students in the Divine Sound Department. It was your credit. Do you know how many people applied for our Divine Sound Department this time?"
Ye Yun shook her head vaguely.
Nina smiled and said, "There are over 1,200 people signed up, more than ten times last year's number. It's equivalent to the enrollment of a large magic department. This is all thanks to you. You're back just in time. Tomorrow is the last day for registration, and then we'll be holding the entrance exam for new students. Last year it was the Ocean Department, but this year it's your turn. You'll be testing whether these new students are qualified to become Sound Masters. Oh, by the way, because of you, a third of the new students who signed up for our Sound Department this time around are actually male! It's hard to believe. Looks like spring is coming for us Sound Masters."
Ye Yin Zhu Dao: "No problem with testing the disciples. However, Grandma, can we take a shortcut?"
"Take a shortcut?" Nina was taken aback, looking at Ye Yin Zhu, not understanding what he meant.
Ye Yin Zhu Dao: "That's right. I have a few friends who also want to come to our Shen Yin department for classes. I'd like to help them get in through the back door."
Nina frowned and said: "Their conditions are very good? What is your relationship with them. When did you have friends outside?"
Ye Yin Zhu explained: "It's just that I got to know them this time when they went out. Their talent is absolutely not a problem at all. Now they are all at the level of Chi-class primary to intermediate, but their development potential is huge, and I have confidence that they can be promoted to Huang-class around the first year of school. I am confident that they will definitely pass the exam. As for coming to find you to go through the back door, it's mainly because they don't have money. Can you see if it's possible to deduct from my future salary and let them attend classes first? Also, in our Shen Yin department's treasure trove, there are many musical instruments, but they haven't found a suitable one yet. I want to pick some out for them from the treasure trove. Of course, I won't take it for free. Whatever the price is, I will definitely pay you back later."
Nina looked at Ye Yin Zhu with some curiosity, she was very clear about how deep his attainments in piano magic were, and he actually recommended a friend so highly, it could be seen that the person he recommended had such great talent. As the princess of the Milan Empire, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Golden Life, and the director of the Sound Department of the Milan Magic Martial Academy, she didn't take money seriously to begin with.
"Go through the back door? Our Shengyin system has never had such a precedent." Nina said with deliberate difficulty.
"But they can't practice without instruments. Grandma, please help us out." Ye Yin Zhu could only plead with Nina. It's not that he couldn't get the instruments and tuition fees, but time was too tight now, and he couldn't afford to go make money.
Nina walked over and sat down, picked up the tea and drank a sip calmly, "I can promise you that, as the department head, I still have some authority."
"Then thank you very much." Ye Yinzhu was overjoyed.
"Don't get excited just yet. I have conditions." Nina's character was not as violent as she appeared on the surface, otherwise how could she have helped her brother Silvio Berlusconi develop the Royal Road so insightfully? "I'll agree to it, but you have to help me with something too."
"Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Nina nodded and said, "This is your second year at the academy. I won't make things difficult for you either. Before you graduate, as long as you can bring Qin Xiang to see me once, that's my condition."
"Uh..." Ye Yin Zhu hesitated, although he knew that there must be some special emotional entanglement between Nina and Qin Shang, but agreeing to Nina like this seemed a bit inappropriate.
"What's all this? If you agree, then agree. If not, then let's part ways and you can leave now." Nina's emotions seemed a bit off, "You've called me 'grandma' so many times, yet you're unwilling to help grandma see that scoundrel of a grandfather one more time? I'm old now, I don't have many demands. I just hope to be able to see him again." As she spoke, Nina's eyes reddened and her aged hands were even trembling slightly.
"Alright, I promise you, Grandma." Looking at Nina's sorrow, how could Ye Yin Zhu bear it?
"Nina looked at him with some excitement, 'Alright, alright. Bring those friends of yours to see me after the entrance exams are over. I'll give them the most suitable instruments. And also give me a list of their names, no matter what their grades are, I'll allow them to enroll.'"
After Ye Yin Zhu got Nina's promise, he immediately left her villa. Not because of anything else, but mainly because his body was too hot. Although the Dou Qi could regulate temperature, after sweating earlier, his body felt sticky and uncomfortable.
Nina saw Ye Yin Zhu off, the sadness in her eyes gradually disappeared, and she smiled slightly. "This silly boy is still a bit tender. Qin Xiang, you old rascal. As long as I see you, humph." This time, her eyes really turned red.
Yeh Yun originally planned to visit Nina first, then go see his teacher Ferguson, but he was sweating and decided to return to the dormitory to take a shower and remove his underwear. At this temperature, only the moon god's protection would be enough.
It was just a few steps from Nina's place back to her own dorm. Yezhong pushed the door open, but didn't see Sula's figure anywhere.
Can't help but admit, Sura is absolutely talented in doing household chores. In just a short while, the dust in the room has disappeared. The refreshing air produced by cleanliness makes Yezhong feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart.
He put away the Moon Goddess Guardian and, wearing only his undergarments, headed in the direction of the bathroom. When he came upstairs to the door of the bathroom, he just happened to hear the sound of rushing water inside, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself - truly a case of great minds thinking alike! He had been thinking of taking a bath, and it seemed that Su La had beaten him to it. It was hot and uncomfortable, so for now, using a towel to wipe his face would be good enough.
The rooms in the dormitory were all unlocked, and Ye Yin Zhu casually pushed open the bathroom door.
A wave of hot steam rushed towards him, and in the midst of the misty haze, Ye Yin Zhu saw a scene that left him stunned.
