Chapter 1640 - 298_5

The internships of Li Zhiyuan and the others always involved handling special events. After resolving those incidents, the local units naturally felt very grateful.

Of course, this was also because Xue Liangliang made good choices.

He wouldn't assign ordinary tasks to Li Zhiyuan, though Xue Liangliang himself wasn't aware of this.

Mr. Luo: "So, take what you deserve. Don't feel embarrassed, it's what you've earned."

Li Zhiyuan: "Okay, teacher."

Xue Liangliang: "Xiao Yuan, do well in your exams."

Xue Liangliang gave Li Zhiyuan a wink, and his mouth twitched into a slight smile. Apart from the scholarships awarded by the public, Xue Liangliang also set up his own scholarship, so he could personally award it to Xiao Yuan when the time came.

Hmm, if Xiao Yuan wasn't at Jinling School right then, he could also personally make a trip to Nantong.

After leaving Mr. Luo's room, Li Zhiyuan went to the room of Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou.

Tan Wenbin was looking in the mirror in the bathroom, while Lin Shuyou sat on the bed with his eyes closed, his lips moving slightly.

"Brother Xiao Yuan," Tan Wenbin said as he walked out of the bathroom.

Li Zhiyuan: "Are they bothering you?"

Tan Wenbin: "No, Deng Chen is quite well-behaved."

At this moment, a dark blue hue appeared on Lin Shuyou's face again, and the mark between his brows began to swirl.

Li Zhiyuan's gaze sharpened, and he said sternly:

"Presumptuous!"

In an instant, the dark blue hues dissipated, and the mark between his eyebrows faded.

The aura of the Ghost General was nothing much in front of the young man now.

Lin Shuyou opened his eyes and hurriedly explained, "Brother Xiao Yuan, I wasn't doing a divination."

Li Zhiyuan: "With your current level as a Divination Child, you can ignore the formalities and be moved by your will."

Lin Shuyou: "Oh..."

Li Zhiyuan: "Recently, don't think about the child spirit. If it senses your thoughts, it will become restless, and both of you will feel uncomfortable."

Lin Shuyou: "So that's how it is."

Ah You now had an added identity as a Ghost General, which was forcibly bestowed by the Great Emperor. This effectively concealed the True Monarch's identity, and the child spirit was sealed away.

With their own strength, if they tried to forcibly break the seal, it could likely cause Lin Shuyou's body to explode and the child spirit's soul to scatter, resulting in a collective self-explosion.

Li Zhiyuan: "By the way, Mr. Luo requests that you return to take your finals and aim for scholarships."

Tan Wenbin: "Uh..."

Lin Shuyou: "What!"

It was only then that Tan Wenbin remembered that he seemed to be a class president.

But it felt like it was time for the class to elect a new president. They couldn't leave the post vacant forever.

Lin Shuyou glanced at the Double Mace hanging on his backpack. Holding the maces for so long made it feel awkward to pick up a pen again.

After Li Zhiyuan left, Lin Shuyou sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly:

"Brother Bin, do we have to review the coursework?"

"Just make sure to fill in all the answers and don't leave blanks. The teachers will give you some leniency and won't let you fail."

Lin Shuyou breathed a sigh of relief at this and said, "Phew... that's good."

Tan Wenbin: "But if you want a scholarship, your grades can't be too bad. Even if you don't count the internship, your exam scores need to be top-notch."

Lin Shuyou: "Isn't that my doom..."

Tan Wenbin: "Didn't you get in through the college entrance exam? Did you use divination to have the child help you during the exam?"

Lin Shuyou laughed, "If it helped me during exams, I wouldn't even be in high school."

Perhaps thinking of the child again, the dark blue hues were about to resurface on Lin Shuyou's face.

Ah You quickly shook his head wildly, pushing away thoughts of the child spirit.

Tan Wenbin: "Then what are you afraid of when it comes to exams?"

Lin Shuyou: "I wasn't afraid during the college entrance exam, nor last semester, but isn't it because I've been in university for so long that I feel like I've regressed in my studies?"

Tan Wenbin: "Don't worry, we're all the same. Although we're not at school, not all our classmates are diligently studying. Most are actually enjoying university life, and they've regressed even more than you."

Li Zhiyuan opened the door to Run Sheng's room.

Run Sheng was sitting at the table with a small plate in front of him, on which a piece of jerky lay, being consumed by the Gu Worm.

Yin Meng hadn't returned, but this Gu Worm had.

"Brother Run Sheng, we're leaving tomorrow."

"Alright."

Li Zhiyuan intended to close the door and leave.

"Xiao Yuan."

"Yes?"

"How deep is the Eighteen Layers of Hell?"

"Meng Meng isn't trapped below but rather at the top."

"So, if we were to pick her up, could we go directly to the top?"

"It probably wouldn't be that convenient for us. Most likely, we'd have to start from the very bottom."

"So the journey would be long?"

"Brother Run Sheng, when we go to pick up Meng Meng, let's take the family tricycle with us."

Run Sheng laughed.

This was what he had once said to Xiao Yuan. At that time, he used to take Xiao Yuan to high school every morning and evening and said that he would also accompany Xiao Yuan to university in the future.

Back then, Run Sheng didn't know how far Jinling was from Nantong. He only knew:

Any place reachable by tricycle wasn't far.

...

Chen Xu and the others, including Li Zhiyuan, took the car to Mountain City first, and then, at the Mountain City Airport, boarded a plane back to Nantong.

Xue Liangliang was right; Chen Xu was indeed a person afraid of loneliness and loved to chat, so Li Zhiyuan arranged for him to sit together with Tan Wenbin.

As for beside Li Zhiyuan, it was Zhao Yi sitting.

Compared to Chen Xu, with whom it was previously agreed to journey together, Zhao Yi seemed like the gatecrasher.

Zhao Yi: "I just wanted to see Old Tian."

Li Zhiyuan: "You miss him so much that you won't even go back to your old place?"

Zhao Yi: "Brother Xiao Yuan~"

Li Zhiyuan closed his eyes, intending to sleep on the plane.

Zhao Yi: "I know you'll be helping them to resolve their issues this time. It wouldn't hurt to lend me a hand while you're at it, would it?"
