They didn't doubt Gu Ran's ability to join Lanxin University as a researcher. From their previous experience, they already knew that Gu Ran was a very studious person. Although he was young, his breadth of knowledge far surpassed that of many ordinary researchers.

What puzzled them was why the president of Lanxin University invited Gu Ran to join the university. Did he recognize Gu Ran's research talent at first sight?

"It's a pity. The old principal did have a keen eye for talent in some areas, and Gu Ran is indeed a scientific research talent, but he completely misjudged him in other areas."

"Yes, I originally thought that Gu Ran got into Lanxin University on his own merit, but I didn't expect that the former president of Lanxin University personally invited him to join. This is completely like inviting a wolf into the house."

"If it weren't for what happened today, Lanxin University wouldn't have been destroyed by that heartless bastard Gu Ran, and the old principal wouldn't have had to die. Sigh, it's such a pity for the old principal. If the old principal hadn't died, Lanxin University wouldn't have been destroyed, the strength of Canglong City wouldn't have declined so much, and the subsequent war wouldn't have been so difficult. Sigh, it's all Gu Ran's fault, that tyrant."

Everyone shared their stories and offered their opinions on the matter from different perspectives, but without exception, they all felt that this was the worst mistake the former president of Lanxin University had ever made in his life.

Xue Xiling stared at the screen in silence.

She hadn't thought much about it before. Although she was very surprised that her father invited Gu Ran to join Lanxin University, she was actually more happy than anything else.

But looking back now, the whole thing seems rather strange.

It was clearly the first time the father and Gu Ran had met, but the father was quite enthusiastic and even extended an invitation directly.

It's important to understand that even as the principal, one cannot do whatever one wants, especially when it comes to matters like talent selection, which are crucial to the foundation of a school. Even the principal cannot lead the way in breaking the rules—although the principal does indeed have the power to do so.

However, if one were to actually do this, it would mean using one's own prestige to endorse the person one recommends. If the person being recommended is incompetent, one would certainly be criticized. Moreover, even if someone is talented, if they do not reach the level of genius expected by people, one would still suffer a great loss of prestige.

This is the price of breaking the rules, and it will inevitably attract a lot of attention. People will want to pick up a magnifying glass and not miss the slightest flaw.

However, she did not believe that her father had used his special privileges for Gu Ran without hesitation back then, and that he had not considered the consequences.

If the father still decided to support Gu Ran after considering the consequences of doing so, and invited him to join Lanxin University and his research group, then he must have had his own reasons.

"Perhaps we can find out the reason now." Xue Xiling closed her eyes and said silently in her heart, "Dad, did you ever regret this back then? The person you valued destroyed Lanxin University, he killed you, he killed so many students... Lanxin University almost collapsed because of this."

......

In the light screen.

Xue Yingsong seemed unaware of how astonishing her actions were. She smiled slightly and walked to the coffee machine, brewing three cups of coffee.

"Old Xiao, I know you don't like coffee, so I didn't make it for you. Just pour yourself whatever you want to drink," Xue Yingsong said, placing three cups of coffee on a silver tray with her back to Gu Ran and the others.

As soon as the coffee was placed on the silver tray, the tray suddenly floated in the air and flew towards Gu Ran and the others.

“Many people like to brew coffee, thinking that it’s more authentic. But I think instant coffee tastes better and saves more time, so I only have simple instant coffee here. Please forgive me.” Xue Yingsong stretched out her hand, and the silver tray stopped in front of Gu Ran.

Gu Ran's gaze sharpened, and a tidal wave surged within him.

Is this "psychic power"?

Why does he possess the same power as me?

Or is it just similar?

The name "Psychic Power" was chosen by Gu Ran for his own power, but this power is different from superpowers and martial arts. It seems to have appeared out of thin air in Gu Ran's body, and he can use it to his heart's content as long as he has a thought.

However, to Gu Ran's surprise, he saw an extremely similar power in the president of Lanxin University. He quickly recalled the information about the president of Lanxin University, but there was no information about whether he was a martial artist or a superhuman.

The silver plate and coffee floated steadily in front of Gu Ran and Xue Xiling, as if an invisible hand was supporting the silver plate.

"It's been so long since I've had coffee brewed by Dad." Xue Xiling smiled and gently picked up a cup of coffee, looking as if she were drinking the most delicious beverage in the world.

Gu Ran silently picked up a cup of coffee, but before doing so, he paused to blend into the surroundings before observing Xue Yingsong as he picked up his coffee.

Seeing that Xue Xiling and Gu Ran had already picked up their coffees, Xue Yingsong recalled the silver tray, picked up the last cup, and took a sip: "Although it's brewed coffee, it uses top-quality ingredients and the most advanced processing technology, so it actually tastes pretty good."

Gu Ran brought the coffee cup to her lips, pretended to take a small sip, then put it in her hand, showing no intention of drinking any more.

Xue Xiling, on the other hand, was drinking very happily and finished her coffee in no time.

“It seems you still have some doubts. I thought you had just found out why I chose you.” Xue Yingsong put the coffee on the table and said to Xue Xiling and Xiao Chaofeng, “Old Xiao, Xiao Ling, you two go out first. I need to talk to him alone.”

Xiao Chaofeng gave Xue Yingsong a strange look, but said nothing and walked out.

Xue Xiling was somewhat reluctant and puzzled: "Dad, what are you and Leng Ran going to talk about? Can't you talk about it in front of me?"

Xue Yingsong nodded: "Indeed, we can't talk about this in front of you."

Xue Xiling: "......"

Left with no other choice, Xue Xiling followed Xiao Chaofeng and left the place together.

Before long, only Gu Ran and Xue Yingsong remained at the scene.

"Principal Xue, can you explain why now? I am just an unknown nobody, not worth Principal Xue going to such lengths to open doors for me."

If Gu Ran didn't know who his parents were, he would have doubted whether Xue Yingsong was his long-lost father.

Moreover, he had some ideas about why Xue Yingsong treated him so well.

"You should have sensed it by now, our powers are actually the same, we are destined ones." Xue Yingsong said with a faint smile, "The abnormality of the Dragon Blood River last night was also because of you, or rather, because of that triangular crystal cone on your body?"

Gu Ran's pupils contracted; he almost wanted to break through the wall and escape from Lanxin University.

The other party had almost seen through him, and now he seemed to have walked right into their trap.

Xue Yingsong looked at Gu Ran and said, "Don't worry, I have no intention of causing you any trouble because of this. To be precise, the Dragon Blood River originally existed because of the destined person. The fact that the Dragon Blood River became a normal river because of you is just that it has fulfilled its mission."

Gu Ran's eyelids twitched.

Another destined person... The other party must know a lot of inside information.

In an instant, Gu Ran abandoned the idea of ​​leaving.

The other party must have had no ill intentions towards him, otherwise the situation wouldn't be like this now; instead, they would have gathered the experts from Lanxin University to capture him.

Gu Ran became curious about the reason behind the other party's behavior.

If the other party clearly knows more than you, then try to get some information out of them.

"What exactly does 'destined person' mean?" Gu Ran asked in a deep voice. "Do you believe in this so-called fate?"

Xue Yingsong pondered for a moment and said, "No one knows exactly what 'destined person' means. We only know that it has been passed down since the founding of Canglong City."

Gu Ran: "Then why do you say I'm the destined one? And why are you so sure?"

Gu Ran's heart stirred slightly as he suddenly remembered that he and the other person both possessed telekinesis.

“That’s right, just as you think. Because we have the same power, different from superpowers and different from martial arts, and more importantly, you appeared by Xiao Ling’s side. That’s why I can be sure you are the one destined for me.” Xue Yingsong swirled the coffee in her cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Gu Ran was somewhat confused: "Why are you so sure based on these things? And wasn't my appearance next to Xue Xiling an accident?"

At the same time, Gu Ran became more vigilant. If this was a deliberate arrangement by the other party, it would be terrifying.

"It was an accident, and it wasn't an accident," Xue Yingsong said. "The reason I say that is because no one can be certain what will happen in the future. I didn't expect Xiaoling to be targeted by the Abyss Demon either. But the reason I say it wasn't an accident is because..."

“There will definitely be someone who appears by Xiaoling’s side, just like I appeared by Xiaoling’s mother’s side back then. In the end, you appeared. You saved Xiaoling when she was in danger, and you have the same power as me. It’s all fate’s arrangement.”

Gu Ran is someone who doesn't believe in fate, so he was skeptical of Xue Yingsong's statement.

"Just based on that?" Gu Ran raised an eyebrow. "What use is this so-called destined person?"

"do not know."

"do not know?"

Gu Ran's voice involuntarily rose slightly.

I don't understand why you guys are so obsessed with this destined person?

128. Lanxin University's research on spatial ability users! Shocking speculations! 4k

"I really don't know. There are many sayings passed down from ancient times, but not many people know their specific meanings. For example, you know Leng Feng from Suzaku City, right? They, as spatial ability users, also pass down a saying from generation to generation. However, she is rather stingy and didn't tell me."

After drinking the coffee, Xue Yingsong brewed another cup for herself.

Upon hearing the other party mention Leng Feng, Gu Ran's heart stirred.

He knew that spatial ability users passed down their skills from generation to generation.

But how did he know that?

It was Leng Feng who told him.

Why would Leng Feng go to Saint-Joel City?

It was because she had a conflict with the Lazarus family back then, but she didn't know the specifics of the conflict.

No, that's not right. She actually went to the Lazarus family to borrow something to communicate with Dracula and ask him some questions.

Gu Ran recalled that time and corrected her thinking.

He initially thought it was just an accident that had little to do with him, but now Gu Ran suddenly had some doubts.

And did he actually die after he closed his eyes?

The various questions that arose in Gu Ran's mind made her suddenly very eager to know about Leng Feng and her sister.

"I know she's the only space ability user in the world, but I heard she's taken on another student. So there's another space ability user in the world? I always thought there was only one." Gu Ran said with great emotion.

Xue Yingsong slowly said, "Spatial ability is a very special ability. Most of the time, there is only one spatial ability user in the world. However, I have read a lot of literature and found that there are indeed different ability users who exist at the same time. It's just that the time they coexist is not long. Usually, in less than ten years, one of the spatial ability users will die."

Gu Ran was taken aback.

This was information he didn't know before.

"Why is this happening? Why can't two spatial ability users exist at the same time?" Gu Ran couldn't help but ask.

"Why? I don't know why either. Perhaps only the space ability users themselves know the reason." Xue Yingsong raised her cup and shrugged. "Lanxin University once wanted to conduct research on this, but it was ruthlessly rejected by the space ability users."
