Chapter 97: Chapter 97 You Are Too Impure

Afterwards.

Xu Lingjun’s life became quite routine.

Attending classes, studying, and returning home to diligently review and consolidate the potential contents of the Dragon Gate Examination.

There were indeed some unexpected events during this period…

For instance, he set a small goal for himself.

He planned to strive for a breakthrough to the late stage of Qi Gathering before the Dragon Gate Examination.

After all, although the ninth rank Body Tempering allows one to participate in the Four Great Martial Mansions’ assessments, it’s just the minimum standard for these assessments.

And since it’s called an examination, there are too many unpredictable elements involved.

Even at the middle stage of Qi Gathering, if luck isn’t on your side, it’s highly possible to fail the exam.

To be safe, reaching the late stage of Qi Gathering is imperative.

But he absolutely never expected…

The small goal he set that morning was mysteriously achieved after just a night’s sleep.

Because of this, Xu Lingjun specially went to find Zong Xiaoping to express his gratitude, saying it was thanks to his help.

Though he couldn’t understand why Zong’s face twisted after hearing his words… it seemed as if he didn’t want to say a word to him.

Probably because he hasn’t found Teacher Su’s fiance yet.

Xu Lingjun didn’t really take it to heart; Teacher Su is indeed very pretty, almost the dreamgirl of most students in high school… but to Xu Lingjun, she didn’t quite fit his aesthetic criteria.

You can’t let a kid suffer, after all.

Having endured hardships as a child, Xu Lingjun didn’t wish for his own child to experience the same.

In the blink of an eye.

Four or five days passed.

Now, there were only a few days left until the Dragon Gate Examination.

During this period, he rode in the special car Father Wang arranged for him to and from school… Along the way, Xu Lingjun began to sense a tinge of tension around him.

The floating projections in the sky started broadcasting policies nonstop. All shops had to close no later than eight o’clock to ensure students got the best quality sleep. Starting now, anyone holding an admission ticket could eat, stay, or do anything without queuing and enjoy priority treatment.

This was to enable students to dedicate all their time to studying.

Meanwhile, texts began scrolling continuously atop major star-level hotels.

“Welcoming all students from Jinxing High School, Yuxu City, to stay at Lanmeng Hotel!”

“Yu Cheng Grand Hotel wishes all students of Yunhua High School, Songchui City, great success in the Dragon Gate Examination.”

“Before the troops move, provisions must come first. Taoyuan Grand Hotel offers complimentary meals and lodging for all students, providing the most stable support so you face challenges with boundless energy.”

………

Nobody is foolish.

The Dragon Gate Examination differs from the college entrance exam in the past life. Those who pass and enter the academies here are truly talented; they may charge at the frontline, stabilize the heart at the rear, join the military, or contribute to research institutions.

These individuals could be called the true heroes of the future.

A slight investment now, if it results in even one person coming out from their hotel,

can instantly elevate the hotel’s level. Using the person for advertising later on means profit would multiply a thousandfold.

“It’s convenient for me; at least I don’t have to make long journeys anymore.”

Sitting in the car, Xu Lingjun sighed.

It’s important to know that Dragon Gate Examination has long become a tradition, and even in the whole Great Xia Empire, there are only six main examination sites.

Fangyi City, being a flat plain with advantageous topography and convenient transportation, has been one of the six main examination sites for years.

The driver, who was driving, smiled, “President Wang is really attentive to your matter, son-in-law. Miss only barely mentioned it, and he immediately contacted the City Lord of Fangyi City, treated him to a meal, and arranged for you to be settled here, at least occupying a geographic advantage…”

Xu Lingjun responded with silence.

Inwardly, he sighed with emotion, realizing that one’s own strength is truly the foundation of all stability.

Had it been in the past, he would never have so easily accepted Father Wang’s help… Not that he resisted the marriage contract, since Sister Yaya is beautiful, wise, and cute, sometimes even endearingly naive.

After all, which man wouldn’t like her.

But financial assistance…

As someone reborn, his self-esteem couldn’t tolerate living off someone else.

Yet now, although still living off someone else, it’s solely because he himself possesses the strength and potential for greater heights.

He can accept Father Wang’s assistance with a clear conscience.

“Just drop me here; I’ll walk the rest myself. After all, I’m still a student, and I’d like to keep a low profile.”

Xu Lingjun stepped out of the elongated, luxurious, globally limited edition business car, saying: “Thank you for the ride.”

“It’s my honor to serve you, son-in-law.”

The driver replied with a wide smile.

From previously enduring long commutes, traveling thousands of miles a day, to now simply chauffeuring the son-in-law to and from school daily, his salary tripled, reflecting the sincerity of his smile.

Even though the son-in-law didn’t go to the company often, astute people already realized that any help they could offer the son-in-law would please the boss more than helping the boss directly… It’s heard that someone named Zheng Hongbin has already been assigned to a new department, specifically tasked with developing and producing toys for the son-in-law.

Whatever the boss invests in, is there anything that doesn’t yield huge profits?

These people are surely being taken care of.

………

The entire day.

Xu Lingjun was diligently attending classes, and though he was fully confident, as the Dragon Gate Examination approached, he couldn’t help feeling a little apprehensive…

This is his one and only chance to pave his path in Martial Tao.

Should he fail the exam, he might have to join the Sun and Moon Bright Sect and become a Sect Leader’s Direct Disciple, heading a sect in the future.

That’s not the life he desires.

Wandering before a Martial Artist whose strength far exceeds the upper realm, what if his golden finger is exposed?

It’s his greatest secret, a secret he plans to take from birth to death and into the grave.

Hence, he must study diligently, revisiting the key points previously highlighted by Sister Yaya once more.

Then, his smart mind surprisingly revisited these old truths and gathered a lot of new knowledge.

“This kid really does attend classes properly.”

Su Huanqing had to patrol the various classes daily, though she didn’t teach any particular subject. She was more in charge of managing class order.

And ever since Xu Lingjun appeared, she focused her patrols particularly on the elite class…

Upon discovering Xu Lingjun was no longer skipping classes, attending on time every day, though he didn’t listen to the lectures but read his own books earnestly,

she was suddenly taken aback.

On that day… after school…

“Teacher Su?”

Seeing Su Huanqing who was specifically waiting for him,

Xu Lingjun called out in surprise, looked around for a moment, and asked in amazement, “Are you waiting for me?”

“Yes, come with me, I have something to discuss with you.”

Su Huanqing said, turning to leave.

Xu Lingjun followed her.

In the office.

“Here.”

Su Huanqing took out a card, saying: “There’s five million in this card, take it.”

Hearing this, Xu Lingjun’s pupils suddenly shrank. He couldn’t help but cross his arms in shock, exclaiming: “Teacher, you suddenly giving me five million, what are you intending? I’m not that kind of person… Besides, you are also my fiancee’s good friend, how can you have such impure thoughts about me, you… you’re too unclean.”

And now, I’m at least a millionaire with a monthly income in the millions. You’re offering just five million to try to… Isn’t that a bit low?

Xu Lingjun inexplicably felt a little aggrieved.

Su Huanqing: “………”
