Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Can you still sleep with her?

A few days later.

Qingyang High School resumed classes, with its location set in the ruins of the City Lord’s Mansion.

When the crisis erupted, Yue Jinyan and others rushed out of the City Lord’s Mansion to discuss countermeasures on the battlefield…

The Chi Yu mysterious clan also knew the City Lord’s Mansion was empty. Although subsequent bombings affected the area, it wasn’t specifically targeted, so much of the sturdy mansion remained.

Now, it’s just right for the senior high students to attend temporary classes.

Although the students suffered heavy casualties, with less than 40% remaining.

But the dead are gone, and the living must continue forward… The Dragon Gate Examination won’t be delayed for this; they still have to keep striving.

For Xu Lingjun, however, these extra classes didn’t mean much.

With Sister Yaya’s guidance at home and the enhanced Life No.1 supplements improving his memory and comprehension… a month of tutoring would certainly not make him a Liberal Arts champion.

But surpassing the standard is not too difficult.

Yet, barring any unexpected events, this could be the last few days everyone gathers together…

The separation, originally expected after the Dragon Gate Examination, had come early.

Everyone was full of reluctance.

So Xu Lingjun made a special effort to attend these last few days of classes with his classmates of nine years.

Zhou Qing’s training remained as strict as ever, but every word could enlighten the students.

Wang Qingya often loved to make Xu Lingjun stand up and answer questions in class, always using him as an example; it’s clear she’s very proud of him.

These past few days, even the teasing of female classmates who once troubled Xu Lingjun seemed so nostalgic; his smiling eyes encouraged those who wanted to get closer to him.

Guo Zheng could only nibble her nails in silence beside him.

Damn it… said he’d leave some for me, but he doesn’t even spare me one, regardless of beauty or ugliness.

During classes.

Guo Xu would occasionally come in and call a student away.

And that student would never return again.

Qingzhou City is now a ruined wasteland, with hundreds of thousands of people gathered here, consuming vast quantities daily. Although supplies are quickly being transported here…

But resources are still tight.

Specifically, the heavy casualties among students have made the number of remaining Dragon Gate examinees even scarcer, making it impossible to conduct pre-exams in this ruined wasteland.

So these students are being relocated to other cities to take their exams.

Once the cities for these students are confirmed.

They must immediately depart with their families, and the Empire will provide them housing.

Qingzhou City is being rebuilt.

But after reconstruction, how many who leave will return to settle here is unknown.

“Sigh, they’re leaving, everyone’s leaving.”

On the rooftop of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Guo Zheng reluctantly opened a can of beer, clinking it with Xu Lingjun’s cup.

The two of them ate the pig head meat wrapped in parchment paper.

Years ago, the three of them secretly drank beer and ate pig head meat together…

It was only pig head meat.

Because according to Guo Zheng, you eat what’s beneficial; Old Xu’s appearance is too handsome, bound to be envied by the heavens. To prevent him from being taken by the heavens, he needs to eat some pig head meat to balance it out.

Anyway, Xu Lingjun didn’t turn ugly, Li Lei’s martial arts cultivation remained high, with diligent practice; nothing changed, but Guo Zheng put on a few pounds.

And now, the three playful and bantering friends were down to just two.

But soon, it would be just him alone.

Everyone else would leave, but he, as the headmaster’s son, was destined to remain in Qingzhou City.

Today, Guo Xu delivered Xu Lingjun’s notification for a temporary Dragon Gate school transfer.

Yunmu High School in Fangyi City.

Of course, this was Xu Lingjun’s initiative; he differed from the other students…

His efforts exposed the Chi Yu mysterious clan, and he killed many Chi Yu members in the war.

Guo Xu naturally wouldn’t refuse his small requests.

“My dad asked me to tell you, once you reach Fangyi City, don’t disgrace our Qingzhou City. Achieve good results and make them eat their words.”

Guo Zheng was a bit downcast; the usually cheerful rich kid showed rare loneliness.

He sighed wistfully, “They’re all leaving, and I don’t know how Leizi is doing these days; I can’t reach him by phone. It seems the sect doesn’t allow any electronic devices. I help him collect his daily first-win rewards in the game; he hasn’t logged on lately.”

“You help him get the first win?”

Xu Lingjun looked at Guo Zheng in shock, sighing, “That must be hard for you.”

“It’s alright; after losing three matches in a row, the system matches you with low intelligence AIs for a game. It seems to be to maintain player pride, to prevent them from quitting by losing too terribly.”

Guo Zheng sighed, “Can’t beat people, but defeating an AI is like child’s play; maintaining a 70% win rate is not an issue, and four matches a day take just over an hour, it’s manageable for me.”

“Actually, Leizi’s doing quite well.”

Xu Lingjun paused, saying, “He has gained the Sect Leader of Tomorrow’s favor and was taught a technique called ‘Thunder Move Nine Heavens,’ supposedly a Legendary Level cultivation technique. Judging by the name, it sounds really powerful.”

“How do you know, did that kid contact you separately?”

Guo Zheng said angrily, “Great, he doesn’t contact me at all, dammit, though I can’t hold grudges like a son, but he’s so biased.”

“Not him; he’s still an Outer Disciple, hardly any chance to touch a phone. Actually, Miss Ji contacted me and informed me.”

Xu Lingjun casually found an excuse.

Guo Zheng, convinced, responded with a simple oh.

In fact, recently, Ji Roufeng often contacted him, though it was unclear how she got the number. But she might have realized Xu Lingjun was uninterested and so started contacting Wang Qingya instead.

Sister Yaya was very gracious, no matter how busy she was, she would always take a few minutes to chat when Ji Roufeng called, almost like cultivating a relationship on purpose.

It was unclear what kind of relationship she was trying to build with her.

You’re not a man; even if you cultivate well, you can’t sleep with her, right?

As for how Xu Lingjun knows about Li Lei’s current situation…

[You helped Li Lei obtain the Legendary Level Technique ‘Thunder Move Nine Heavens’ from the Sect Leader of Tomorrow and received his sincere gratitude, thereby earning the favor of the world’s Origin Will, Origin Value +89!]

Just the other day while packing, this suddenly popped up without warning.

Xu Lingjun truly didn’t understand how he helped Li Lei from a thousand miles away, but the amount of gratitude was 30 points higher than when he gave him the map back then.

It seemed this indeed had something to do with him.

“A Legendary Level cultivation technique? He might go the farthest among the three of us in the future, right?”

Guo Zheng sighed emotionally, “I need to work hard too, or years later, when the three of us brothers reunite, I don’t want to nod and bow to you two.”

“You’re not repeating a grade?”

Guo Zheng proudly said, “Mere women cannot hold back my steps; my dad said with his influence, getting into the Four Great Martial Mansions would be difficult for me, so it might be a bit lesser, but next time we meet, I’ll give you a pleasant surprise and let you know Father Guo isn’t just a false reputation.”

“Speak in human language.”

“I’ve suddenly realized women are so damn shallow.”

Guo Zheng angrily said, “They act so cold in front of me, but become 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 before you… When I think about the women I chase turning around to chase you, it feels like I’m indirectly chasing you, disgusting, you know?!”

Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but shiver, quickly grabbing a piece of pig head meat to stabilize himself and taking a big gulp of beer, saying, “I’m already feeling nauseous.”

“Yeah, so I decided to carry on my strategy somewhere without you, and before the third child is born, you must not see her.”

Guo Zheng joked, clinking cups with Xu Lingjun, and asked, “When are you leaving?”

“Once Sister Yaya connects with Zhanzheng College, we’re leaving.”

“Alright, I’ll see you off then.”

“Nonsense, prepare farewell gifts.”

“Want Dad’s poop? Keep it as a souvenir.”

“Screw you, I’ll leave you a turd when the time comes; when you miss me, take it out and maybe you’ll catch some of my luck.”

The conversation grew more outrageous, and finally, the two started wrestling with each other.
