The next day, Ling Fan took his parents' spirit tablets from the Su Family and placed them in a temple, hoping to let his parents receive so of the blessings from incense offerings, as a token of filial piety.
After arranging everything for his parents and paying homage to them, he also made arrangents for Su Qiong's family in their new residence, all of which were personally taken care of by Vermilion Bird.
Once everything was settled, Ling Fan stayed in Jincheng for another two days, taking the opportunity to spend more ti with Su Wenfu and his wife.
Parting again, who knows when they would et next!
On the evening of the third day, in Su Wenfu's new villa, the family of five, plus Vermilion Bird, were sitting at the dining table.
"Xiao Fan, if you have nothing going on, why don't you stay a few more days?" Yu Nianrou served Ling Fan so food and spoke up.
"Hehe, I really do have things to take care of, I must return tomorrow," Ling Fan laughed. During these two days, he got along very well with his third uncle's family, and they had beco like a real family.
In reality, he did want to stay a few more days to accompany his third uncle and aunt, but during the day, he had received a call from Qi He; tomorrow was the triennial Zhongnan Assessnt, and he was reminded not to be late!
"When kids grow up, they have their own careers and things to do, they can't revolve around you every day, you think everyone has as much leisure ti as you!" Su Wenfu laughed while eating.
Yu Nianrou imdiately glared, "You're the one who talks too much, how am I idle, from what you're saying, are you complaining that I don't work well and earn less money? Good for you, Su Wenfu, do you feel like you've grown wings now and dare to complain and talk back to your mother!"
Faced with his wife's tirade, Su Wenfu sheepishly realized he had misspoken, and said no more, simply bowing his head and continuing to eat.
Ling Fan and Vermilion Bird exchanged smiles. The couple had been bickering a lot these past two days, sothing Su Qiong ntioned was not typical of them before.
It seed they were in a good mood; otherwise, they wouldn't even be interested in arguing or bickering.
"By the way, Ling Fan, I hear you're doing well in Binzhou, and you probably don't need anymore, do you? So, I won't be going back with you. I've got a lot of things going on at ho recently!" Vermilion Bird said with a light laugh.
"Haha, it's going alright, it's going alright. I, Ling Beiming, can flourish anywhere, right? However, saying you're not needed isn't quite right. I've always needed you; it's just that you're too busy. With official duties, you're not as free as I am!" Ling Fan laughed heartily.
"You take care of your affairs; feel free to be busy. If you really don't like being 'General Canglong,' just take off that uniform and co hang out with . I bet Ye Marshal won't let you go, hehe!" Ling Fan teased further.
At those words, Vermilion Bird smiled, "If you really need , that's not impossible. Just don't forget what you just said. When I really co over to your side, make sure you acknowledge it!"
"Hehe, look at you, am I the kind of person to deny my words? I promise a warm welco with open arms when the ti cos!" Ling Fan replied with a smile.
The group chatted and laughed until well into the night before finally dispersing.
Early the next morning, Ling Fan parted ways with Vermilion Bird, bidding farewell to Su Qiong and Su Wenfu, and boarded a plane to head straight back to Binhai.
...
Early in the morning at Binzhou University, the Fighting Stage was already crowded with students. Today marked the Martial Arts Academy's triennial assessnt, a spectacle many would not get to witness even by graduation.
Therefore, there were particularly many onlookers today, and the school had also purposely scheduled the assessnt for the weekend.
"Hey, did you hear? I heard that just two days ago, the Martial Arts Academy was challenged by soone!" Soone in the crowd started gossiping.
"Yeah, yeah, I heard about that too. Lots of people got injured. You know Fang Kun from Dong Xuan Martial Hall, right? He almost got beaten to death—he won't be getting out of bed for half a year!"
There were also several with broken bones and torn muscles; no one knows how the Martial Arts Academy managed to provoke such ruthless people!" Another person began sharing the rumors they had heard.
At that mont, soone else chid in mysteriously, "You guys might not know this, but all that's nothing. I heard that a few beauties from Zi Qiong were publicly harassed!
They even said they wanted Zi Qiong to pick out a few pretty ones to serve them!"
"Holy shit, there's such news?" Soone suddenly exclaid in shock, almost jumping up.
"Yes, indeed. I heard that in the end, it was Director Shen who stepped in to protect Zi Qiong's people from disgrace, or else soone would've lost their innocence right there on the spot!" the person from before explained.
"Damn, there's going to be quite a show today, then. I've heard that many of the top masters from the Martial Arts Academy are not at ho; who knows if they will show up today!"
"Haha, they'll definitely show up. When the top masters of our school return, it's bound to be a big battle. Just hearing about it gets bloody furious!"
"Right, I heard they are from so Martial Arts Family, acting all high and mighty. I really hope the top masters from our school can beat them until they're searching for their teeth on the ground—Martial Arts Family my ass!"
The crowd around the Fighting Stage imdiately beca noisy and agitated, united in condemning the arrogant outsiders.
As everyone was discussing fervently, a group of six people appeared from a distance, making their way toward them. Leading them was none other than Qi He, the instructor responsible for Zhongnan's recruitnt.
Followed by Director Shen, Principal Wan Zhenghao, and Qi He's Closed-door Disciple, Wu Rao!
She was an incredibly beautiful woman, an elite from the Inner Court of Zhongnan Academy, a disciple of Tiger-Taming Academy, with two Flower Guardians following behind her.
The guardians were Zhong Rong and Zheng Yu, also disciples of Qi He, but they were only from the Outer Court's Dragon Gate Academy, which was a significant step down from Wu Rao!
"Guys, look quick, man, she's too beautiful, where did she co from, how is she so gorgeous, I'm having a nosebleed!" soone in the crowd suddenly yelled. Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
The onlookers turned to look in the direction of the voice, their eyes widening at the sight; a graceful and alluring beauty dressed in a black Luo skirt, with a black veil over her face, wearing a pair of black shoes with golden embroidery, her walk swaying gently!
Her eyes sparkled like autumn waters, casting glances that enthralled onlookers, trapping them at first sight, unable to escape!
Soon, the group of six had arrived in front of the seats arranged at the right side of the Fighting Stage.
The Principal sat down next to Qi He, Shen Tie sat next to the Principal, and Wu Rao smoothed her skirt before sitting down on the right of her master, Qi He.
The two other Flower Guardians stood behind Wu Rao, one on each side, looking arrogantly proud—it was a matter of great pride for them to stand beside their goddess!
The previously noisy and chaotic front of the Fighting Stage fell silent after Wu Rao's appearance. The male students were srized as if their souls had flown away.
Qi He checked the ti and said, "Principal Wan, it's about ti. Let's begin!"
"Mhm!" Wan Zhenghao nodded.
"Director Shen, please announce the start!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Tie imdiately stood up, his gaze sweeping over the throng of attendees that numbered in the thousands. While he couldn't see the Martial Arts Academy's top masters, he knew they were surely hiding in the crowd.
"The Zhongnan Assessnt officially begins. All mbers of the Martial Arts Academy are welco to participate. The top twenty will have the opportunity. Those wishing to enter Zhongnan Academy for cultivating martial arts can now step onto the stage!" Shen Tie announced loudly.
