The year is drawing to a close.
Within the Martial Mansion, there’s naturally no concept of winter or sumr break like Xu Lingjun’s previous life.
You know, winter break is due to extre cold, and sumr break is due to extre heat...
But if you strictly count the days in Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, 360 out of 365 days could be used for a winter break.
As for sumr break, don’t even think about it; on average, there’s no ti above zero degrees.
So naturally, there are no holidays...
To go ho for the New Year, you can only take leave using academic credits.
Moreover, Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion is located at the border of the Great Xia Empire, making the round trip quite cumberso, plus extra academic credits are required, so not many actually apply for leave to go ho.
"But I’m definitely going ho."
Zong Xiaoping specially ca to find Xu Lingjun to bid farewell, seriously saying: "Don’t worry, I will rember your encouragent seriously. This trip back, mainly because as my cultivation improves, so martial skills that my father previously couldn’t teach are now possible for to learn. When I return, maybe I’ll surprise you with sothing big, and..."
He paused, revealing a bright smile, saying: "And when I go back, I can see Teacher Su again. Honestly, after months of not seeing her, I do miss her quite a bit. I’m planning to seriously discuss the issue of her fiancé with Teacher Su."
Xu Lingjun said speechlessly: "Have you not given up yet?"
"Of course not, Teacher Su has taught for years, how can I watch her fall into a trap with open eyes? I still hope Teacher Su can have the courage to pursue the one she truly likes, not influenced by external factors. What engaged couples, they’re all fake illusions...true love is eternal!"
Zong Xiaoping seriously said: "I will tell Teacher Su that at the very least, the person who first thinks of you when obtaining a rare treasure is the one who truly holds you in their heart."
Xu Lingjun replied: "Oh, then have a smooth journey."
Zong Xiaoping asked, puzzled: "Aren’t you leaving?"
Xu Lingjun explained: "My father-in-law and fiancée are coming to visit , the rooms are prepared."
Zong Xiaoping envied: "Next year I should rent a single room too, at least it will be convenient when my parents visit."
After he finished speaking, he paused, sowhat sadly turning away.
Quickly changing the topic, he glanced across and whispered: "Is Li Jingjun not going ho? Many students are going ho today."
"She probably won’t."
Having said that, Xu Lingjun saw opposite him, Li Jingjun already dressed in vigorous attire, a three-foot-long sword on her back, hair casually tied behind, holding a fat cat in her arms...
She walked over here.
She nodded slightly at Zong Xiaoping, then placed Pang Hu in Xu Lingjun’s arms, saying: "Xu Tongxue, I might be going to the Secret Realm today, it may take a few days before I return, I’ll trouble you to look after Pang Hu."
Xu Lingjun nodded: "Don’t worry."
Li Jingjun said: "I always have confidence in you."
Xu Lingjun asked: "Aren’t you resting?"
"No."
Li Jingjun seriously said: "If not for you telling , I wouldn’t have even known...the Four Mansions Trial will be held at our Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion this year, I must break through to the Huichuan Realm before then, may need to take so risks."
"Be careful, Jingjun."
"Don’t worry, I value my life a lot, plus I have my Spiritual Protection Device, and I’ve prepared ten bottles of Spirit Blood Potion and ten Spirit Replenishing Pills, no need to worry about my life."
Li Jingjun paused, showing a bit of a strange expression on her face, hesitated a bit, saying: "Lingjun, goodbye?"
"You better call Xu Tongxue."
Xu Lingjun said with a sense of helplessness: "Why does it sound so odd to ?"
Li Jingjun chuckled softly: "Alright, then you call Jingjun, hearing you call that, it feels like you’ve beco my friend or sothing, it’s nice."
"Aren’t we already friends?"
Li Jingjun exclaid in surprise: "When did this happen?"
"Isn’t making friends sothing very natural? Haven’t we already befriended each other...how in your eyes, must friend making involve submitting a friend request and waiting for your approval?"
"No...isn’t it?"
Li Jingjun asked uncertainly.
Xu Lingjun: "..................."
"Sorry, I’ll be going first."
Li Jingjun seed to realize she might have misunderstood, nodded again at Zong Xiaoping, saying: "Good morning, Zong Tongxue, goodbye, Zong Tongxue."
Having finished, she turned and walked out.
Xu Lingjun admired her departing figure: "It’s not scary that people have money, but scary if they’re wealthier and work harder than you, she seems so full of confidence..."
Zong Xiaoping looked at Xu Lingjun speechlessly and said: "Jingjun? You two are really close."
Xu Lingjun holding Pang Hu, said: "We’re innocent."
"Oh, co on, with that face of yours, I don’t believe you can make pure female friends."
Zong Xiaoping waved his hand and said: "Though since you’re not Teacher Su’s fiancé, I’m too lazy to bother about you...well then, goodbye, when I co back, I’ll bring you so specialties."
"Let see you off."
Fang Zheng helped Zong Xiaoping carry the luggage, leading him out of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.
I watched him get into the special car and drive toward the still distant station.
He finally returned ho and started a big clean-up.
He had very few friends, and Gu Xi had already left the Martial Mansion a few days ago, seemingly to spend the New Year at Junqing’s Family. The little girl was starting to show symptoms, and she had quite a bit of money in her hands, planning to use the dication on her first.
Xu Lingjun didn’t want to help her, not because he didn’t want to, but because they were not family or related. Suddenly offering so much money, she might not accept it... Besides, since there was already a solution, why rush? Gu Xi could handle it.
And Li Jingjun entered the Secret Realm, and Zong Xiaoping left.
A large Academy, with many people enthusiastic about him, but those to whom he could respond with enthusiasm... there were almost none.
And the year-end was approaching.
The Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, being understanding, had opened its external network, which usually opened for only two or three days a month, around the clock.
Moreover, Xu Lingjun also received ssages from Father Wang and Wang Qingya. Judging by the timing, they should be arriving in a day or two.
Father Wang also ntioned giving him a surprise...
Xu Lingjun was a bit afraid to ask what the surprise could be since the last surprise left him in an awkward position.
Father Wang’s way of thinking was gradually becoming hard for him to follow.
But just thinking about having his closest people by his side to celebrate his coming-of-age birthday and witnessing his becoming an adult filled Xu Lingjun with an uncontrollable excitent...
Looking at the newly tidied-up room.
Xu Lingjun thought for a mont and went to buy two extra sets of bedsheets in the living area.
Just in case, it’s always good to have replacents.
And so...
This waiting dragged on for a full five days.
Even in the cold weather of the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, there was a hint of warmth, especially in the living area. Many ordinary people, whose family mbers had been admitted to the Martial Mansion, moved here, gathering as families. Naturally, they placed special importance on the so-called holidays.
With big red festive lanterns, neatly arranged colorful ribbons, and those red decorative embellishnts...
The festive atmosphere was unmistakable.
By this ti, Wang Tiancheng and Wang Qingya had been delayed for a full three days.
Until Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but worry about sothing like a car accident might have occurred...
A familiar ringtone was heard, accompanied by Father Wang’s complaint.
"Co and pick up, goodness, the Bei Xuan Martial Mansion doesn’t let private cars pass. I haven’t taken a bus in years, with so much luggage... I can’t carry it."
Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but laugh.
Wasn’t it the sa when he ca last ti, having to switch to a bus at the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion’s special station?
Looks like Father Wang took quite a bit of luggage.
He quickly got up and rushed toward the station on the outskirts of the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.
When he arrived at the station...
The bus had already left.
He saw on the cold, wintry road.
Three figures standing there waiting for soone, and among them, two won wearing cloud silk coats, looking particularly radiant, with their black, flowing long hair, extrely beautiful and captivating.
Xu Lingjun’s gaze was drawn to the tall one.
"Sister Yaya."
Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but call out, rushing over quickly, wanting to hug her...
Wang Qingya, with a brilliant smile on her face, also reached out her hands towards Xu Lingjun.
Then, suddenly, a pair of bear-like arms tightly enveloped Xu Lingjun. Wang Tiancheng laughed heartily and said, "Son, did you miss your dad... hahahaha... Dad went through so much effort to celebrate the New Year with you and celebrate your birthday, such a long journey. I could have invited Instructor Zhong to co along, but I didn’t, just for you..."
He leaned in and whispered, "How do you like the surprise Dad gave you?"
Saying this, he poked Xu Lingjun’s side a few tis, directing his gaze...
Then, Xu Lingjun’s gaze was attracted to the petite woman standing behind him and Wang Qingya.
Su Huanqing.
"Sorry, Xiaoya knew I was coming to see you and suggested coming together."
Su Huanqing said, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Sorry to trouble you."
Xu Lingjun: "............"
Feeling inexplicable.
The first thought in his heart wasn’t excitent, nor was it surprise.
Instead...
How should the beds be divided now?
