Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Prohibition of Harm

The special order specifically requested from the Education Bureau.

Probably no one would know that the opportunity given to all students of the entire Great Xia Empire to choose again was merely a scheme by Zhang Zhiheng to obtain one person.

According to Zhang Zhiheng, no matter how many reasons he came up with, or how much he tried to cover things up, as soon as he opened his mouth to ask that old guy for the person, the old guy would immediately notice Xu Lingjun’s extraordinary nature.

At that time, trying to take the person would become extremely difficult.

So the best way was to find a way to bypass the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

Directly through himself, to get back his student status.

In this way… even if Liu Zhiyuan noticed something amiss, by that time the die had been cast, and even if he wanted to renege, he wouldn’t have the opportunity.

Although the academy and the martial mansion are not interconnected,

An outstanding person is outstanding wherever they go; anyone Zhang Zhiheng values, Liu Zhiyuan might also value.

Robbing someone from that old fox’s hands is not that easy, indeed.

………………

And at this moment.

Xu Lingjun was unaware that someone was going to such great lengths for him.

He was walking alongside Zong Xiaoping, enthusiastically chatting.

Their realms were comparable, although, in Xu Lingjun’s view, he might be just slightly higher now. But Zong Xiaoping’s father, as the vice president of the Martial Arts Association, had profound family teachings from a young age, certainly knowing much more than himself, who had almost no exposure to other techniques besides a single Divine Demon Level Technique.

Most importantly, he wasn’t Feng Zhichen.

Feng Zhichen’s strength was too overwhelming; Xu Lingjun dared not discuss many issues with him, fearing that any tiny hint might be discerned by him.

But with Zong Xiaoping, there was no such problem.

He could confidently consult him, and they would explore each issue together. Each time, he would gain new knowledge, and in a short time, he had a deeper understanding of the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique.

Compared to Xu Lingjun’s delight, Zong Xiaoping was genuinely experiencing a mixture of pain and joy.

Before Xu Lingjun came, he was always the prodigy of the school, with a noble status. Even though the Great Xia Empire advocated equality for all, even a pig would know that the vice president of the Martial Arts Association’s son was somehow more important than a farmer’s son.

And he himself was very well-mannered, without any arrogance. Even towards people he disliked, he could restrain his emotions well and maintain equality.

But only when facing Xu Lingjun… he was somewhat at a loss…

More handsome than me, stronger than me, yet always presenting himself as a poor student, seeking my guidance, and each time, he would appear genuinely grateful and thankful.

Are your thanks genuine?

Zong Xiaoping felt either Xu Lingjun was truly grateful, or Xu Lingjun was extremely hypocritical and was using this way to mock him…

But then again…

The questions Xu Lingjun raised were sincerely thought-provoking for him, and after discussing them, he somehow gained significant insights.

He was indeed experiencing pain and joy.

Oh well… the Dragon Gate Examination was just around the corner. Even if he was mocking me, being mocked twice and having a greater certainty to enter the academy of my choice felt entirely worth it.

So, in this period of time,

The two of them frequently explored the many mysteries of Martial Arts Technique and each gained something from it.

And as they chatted.

Xu Lingjun suddenly picked up his phone, smiled apologetically, and said, “Sorry, Zong Tongxue, my fiancee seems to be back. She’s waiting for me at the school gate.”

“Where?”

The two had just arrived at the school gate.

Zong Xiaoping instinctively looked ahead.

He was quite curious about what Xu Lingjun’s fiancee looked like…

After all, for a woman to stand confidently in front of him without feeling inferior, she must be truly outstanding, right?

Then he saw Su Huanqing, still in her casual jeans and T-shirt, looking clean and pure.

Suddenly he couldn’t help feeling a slight disappointment, thinking maybe he had misjudged…

Just as he was thinking this, another figure emerged from behind her.

Compared to Su Huanqing, she seemed slightly more mature, her bright smile matched with a graceful and charming demeanor, making one unable to resist feeling entranced. She smiled as she walked over, extended her hand with a smile, and said, “Xiaojun.”

“Sister Yaya.”

Xu Lingjun stepped forward and took Wang Qingya’s hand.

Turning back, he smiled apologetically at Zong Xiaoping, “Sorry, I’m going to have dinner with my sister, let’s discuss the remaining questions tomorrow.”

“Um… take care.”

Zong Xiaoping watched longingly as Xu Lingjun, together with Su Huanqing and Wang Qingya, walked away side by side.

He thought to himself, if you could just make a polite gesture, if you just made a polite gesture, I would absolutely go without hesitation.

But Xu Lingjun didn’t bother to be polite…

After all, they were just classmates who had known each other for a few days.

Hmm…

Zong Xiaoping wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt… how could the three figures standing together be so harmonious?

So harmonious that it was slightly glaring.

Wang Qingya could be said to be the local expert of Fangyi City, knowing every good restaurant, where food was cheap and tasty.

Especially knowing her friend doesn’t like owing favors.

This time she invited her, next time she would definitely find an excuse to return the favor…

Given this, she didn’t choose anything too fancy.

Just a simple food stall.

Earth three fresh, crispy stir-fried chicken gizzards, spicy snail stir-fry, and a platter of pig’s trotters.

All were Su Huanqing’s favorites.

“Thank you for all you’ve done for Xiaojun.”

Wang Qingya sincerely poured wine for Su Huanqing, saying.

“Done?”

Xu Lingjun, beside her, said in surprise.

“This is my life’s black history, please don’t mention it again.”

Su Huanqing sighed and complained, “Thanks to you, my father doesn’t even dare raise his voice at me now. Whenever he dares to come within three meters of me, my mom gets all nervous, guarding with a feather duster… afraid he’ll steal my money again…”

“Isn’t this a good thing, perfect for everyone? Haven’t you always been troubled about how to treat them?”

Wang Qingya laughed lightly, winking at Su Huanqing to show that she understood this wasn’t something to publicize, it’s best kept privately understood.

Su Huanqing: “…………”

Sorry, she really didn’t get it.

Then Wang Qingya looked at Xu Lingjun, seriously saying, “And you, Xiaojun, good luck in your exams, wishing you success!”

“Thank you, Sister Yaya.”

Xu Lingjun clinked glasses with her.

Wang Qingya gracefully raised her slender swan-like neck and drank her wine in one gulp.

The two of them looked at each other…

Seeing the joy of reunion in each other’s eyes.

Wang Qingya was back.

Xu Lingjun suddenly felt as if his heart had found its anchor.

Was it possible that the period of co~habitation had unknowingly made him reliant on her?

It felt as though he really had a sister who was always behind him, cleaning up after him, taking care of him, nurturing him, cherishing him…

No matter how unreasonable or impolite the request, she would frown and reprimand him a little, then reluctantly agree.

This feeling of family, he was truly fond of.

Xu Lingjun said, “Sister Yaya, I actually still have many unanswered questions.”

Wang Qingya nodded, smiling, “Once we get back in the evening, I’ll help you go over them seriously.”

“As it happens, I have a gift for you as well.”

Xu Lingjun smiled, “You said you would make it back in time, I thought since the Dragon Gate Examination was about to start, you probably wouldn’t make it, but you really did.”

“It’s your lifelong event, after all.”

Wang Qingya smiled as she said.

Su Huanqing: “……………”

She watched the natural conversation between Xu Lingjun and Wang Qingya and then looked down at the favorite snails on the table, suddenly feeling that her formerly favorite dish no longer tasted as good.

Damn, I’m facing lovers flaunting happiness here, I shouldn’t have agreed to come for dinner.

It’s just not fair to torture someone single like this.
