Chapter 89 Choosing a Mentor
Back at the university.
It was already dark.
Xiao Weiqing handed the box containing the Moon Spring Elixir to Xue Cheng, saying, "My share doesn't need to be exchanged for points."
"You're going to save it for cultivating your spiritual power?"
Xue Cheng asked, having guessed Xiao Weiqing's intention.
"Um."
"Okay, I'll give it to you in a bit, along with the demon core points and mission rewards."
"Okay, I'll head back now."
Xiao Weiqing took the maglev train to the first-year upper house, while the other five went to return the train and hand in their mission.
The group went their separate ways.
Xiao Weiqing took a moment to check a few unread emails and messages. The emails were all notifications, and one of them was a reward for the Heavenly Ladder.
Today is July 3rd.
Last month, he ranked 27th on the ladder. The cultivation resources reward given by the Great Xia Dynasty could be exchanged for 2 points in the academy.
Several unread messages were from Wei Lan, and one was from Jiang Peng.
Back at the villa.
Wei Lan paced back and forth in front of the villa, her head down.
"Wei Lan?"
Upon hearing Xiao Weiqing's voice, Wei Lan immediately stood up straight, then smiled and said, "Brother Qing, you're back?"
"Were you waiting for me?"
Wei Lan nodded, "Mm."
Xiao Weiqing couldn't help but wonder, Wei Lan was not like usual, lively and cute, she seemed to have something on her mind.
"What's up?"
"Um."
"Let's go in first."
The two entered Xiao Weiqing's villa.
"Speak up, what's wrong? You seem distracted."
Wei Lan looked up at Xiao Weiqing and stared at him.
Xiao Weiqing also looked at Wei Lan. At this moment, Wei Lan was not wearing colored contact lenses. Her flawless face and eyes were like a pair of rubies, stunningly beautiful.
Wei Lan took two steps forward, gently biting her red lips, her beautiful eyes slightly shy, and asked firmly:
"Brother Qing, do you like me?"
Xiao Weiqing didn't hesitate, "I like it!"
Honestly, whether you call it lust at first sight or love that developed over time, liking someone is liking someone.
Upon hearing this...
Wei Lan immediately smiled broadly, opened her arms, and hugged Xiao Weiqing tightly.
It had been a long time since they last met, and Wei Lan's strength seemed to have improved, which actually made Xiao Weiqing feel depressed.
This won't do; we have to fight back.
Xiao Weiqing also hugged Wei Lan, lowered his head, and greedily smelled the fragrance of Wei Lan's fair neck.
"Mmm... Brother Qing, it itches..."
As a man full of vigor, how could he resist? He slightly loosened his grip on Wei Lan's delicate body.
He aimed at her delicate cherry-like lips and kissed her.
Wei Lan froze, at a loss, letting Xiao Weiqing take what he wanted. Xiao Weiqing's strength, theoretical knowledge, and experience were so rich that he soon began to climb the mountain.
As the saying goes, a mountain is not important as long as it is high and steep.
"Don't...."
The faint sounds of resistance only fueled Xiao Weiqing's excitement.
Just as they were about to take the next step.
"Xiao Weiqing, Xiao Weiqing, are you there? I brought you something."
Xue Cheng's shouts rang out from outside.
"ah...."
Wei Lan exclaimed in surprise, pushed Xiao Weiqing away abruptly, her pretty face flushed red, and began to straighten her clothes.
"Brother Qing, someone's looking for you outside."
Xiao Weiqing was still not satisfied; the warmth and faint fragrance of her body lingered on his hands.
"I'm going out to take a look."
Xiao Weiqing strode out the door, his face turning cold. He wanted to see who was so blind as to interrupt his good time.
"Xiao Weiqing, so you're here. Why didn't you reply for so long?" Xue Cheng called out from outside the courtyard gate.
"What's up?"
Xue Cheng felt a chill run down his spine as he felt Xiao Weiqing's cold gaze.
"Um... the Moon Spring Elixir has been processed. Here's what's left, for you." Xue Cheng tossed the jade bottle to Xiao Weiqing.
"Is there anything else?"
That's all, goodbye!
Xue Cheng turned and slipped away, a wave of fear washing over him. "What happened? Did I disturb his cultivation?"
Xiao Weiqing hurriedly returned to the villa. After pushing open the door, he saw Wei Lan sitting upright on the sofa, her face still flushed, but her hands were slightly defensive.
Seeing this, Xiao Weiqing's burning desire subsided considerably.
No rush, there's plenty of time.
"Wei Lan, this is for you."
Xiao Weiqing handed over the jade bottle containing the Moon Spring Elixir.
Wei Lan opened the jade bottle. "Moon Spring Elixir?"
"You know?"
"Yes, my teacher gives me a few drops before each meditation session," Wei Lan replied. "Brother Qing, you can keep them for yourself."
"it is good."
"Brother Qing."
"Um?"
"My parents are coming over in a few days."
Xiao Weiqing noticed the disappointment in Wei Lan's tone.
"Oh, what do I need to prepare?" Xiao Weiqing teased.
Wei Lan looked up, her eyes filled with lingering affection as she gazed at Xiao Weiqing. "I'm leaving."
Upon hearing this...
Xiao Weiqing composed himself, stroked Wei Lan's hair, and said softly:
"Don't worry, I'll be there for you in the future!"
Upon hearing Xiao Weiqing's resolute words, Wei Lan's eyes welled up with tears, and she was deeply moved.
"At worst, I'll just tell your parents, 'Things change, and fortunes change, so don't underestimate a young man's potential,'" Xiao Weiqing said, raising an eyebrow.
"Pfft~"
Wei Lan burst into laughter through her tears, instantly breaking the somber atmosphere. The two lingered for a while before Wei Lan finally left.
……
night.
While refining the essence fire, Xiao Weiqing received an email.
The email was very brief.
Luojiang Academy will hold an internal freshman exchange competition in seven days. After the competition, all students who have reached the Divine Palace Perfection level can choose their own mentor.
The document also included information on dozens of teachers, the lowest of whom were at the fifth level, and quite a few at the sixth level.
Time flies by.
Seven days later.
One hundred students from the Upper Academy arrived at the Ziwei Pavilion. Everyone had to enter the intelligent pod, and the freshman exchange competition was held in the virtual world within the Heavenly Ladder.
After entering the ladder system.
Xiao Weiqing found a specific channel and joined it.
The scene before him changed, and Xiao Weiqing found himself in a huge stadium.
There are nine square arenas in the middle of the stadium, with each arena having a side length of over 9 meters.
People darted about in the audience, searching for their friends.
"Brother Qing, where are you?"
Upon seeing the message, Xiao Weiqing replied, "Where are you, Room 8, Area E?"
"N area, number 54, I've come to find you."
"No need, you wait here, I'll come find you."
Less than five minutes.
Xiao Weiqing found Wei Lan.
"Brother Qing, over here."
The two sat down, with Wei Lan leaning against Xiao Weiqing. Since their last meeting, they had essentially crossed the line and were no longer trying to hide anything from each other.
"Brother Qing, I heard that in today's exchange match, everyone will have to play at least several matches."
Xiao Weiqing nodded.
That's right. Even if the lower and middle houses hold several rounds of competition to eliminate most people, there will still be several hundred people left in the end.
With the addition of the hundred students from the upper academy, it would take more than a dozen rounds to determine the first place.
"I don't think we'll be playing this morning; it'll probably be at least this afternoon."
The lower house has a large number of people, but their strength is average. I estimate that the fighting will go on for a long time.
"Let's just relax for a bit. Meditation every day is making my head spin," Wei Lan chuckled.
Xiao Weiqing flicked Wei Lan's nose. "You, all you know how to do is slack off."
Wei Lan stuck out her tongue and clung to Xiao Weiqing's arm, refusing to let go.
"Hey Fei Xiaobao, what sins have we committed? We just had breakfast and now we're being fed dog food again."
"Yeah, and it's so sweet it's sickening. If I keep eating it, I'll gain weight again."
Xiao Weiqing turned around. "Hey, what are you two doing here?"
The two people speaking were Fei Xiaobao and Zhuang Yu.
Fei Xiaobao laughed and said, "You two don't even see anyone else. Zhuang Yu and I arrived before you."
"And them too."
Xiao Weiqing looked in the direction Fei Xiaobao was pointing and saw Duan Shuyu and Qin Tian not far to the left.
Ye Pingping was also there. When she saw Xiao Weiqing's gaze, she waved and looked on with amusement.
Xiao Weiqing nodded in response, though even he, with his thick skin, felt a little embarrassed.
Wei Lan blushed even more, realizing that everyone had just witnessed their intimacy.
Fortunately, the match is about to begin.
Ning Xing, along with the three deans and all the teachers, had already arrived.
