Chapter 163: Chapter 152: The Saint’s Homeland (Added for Alliance Hierarch "Egg Calm & Composed"!)

The members of the Black-clothed Guard fell silent for a moment, soon a senior member replied, "Yes, Li Xianfeng’s achievements must not be forgotten. All he has done will be recorded in history, worthy of our remembrance."

"But why did we only discover this letter now?"

"This Pan Hao... hadn’t he handed over the letter to the government long ago? Why are we only learning about it now?"

This was an important question, potentially related to a modified timeline.

The investigating staff member replied, "He turned in the letter to the local government a week ago. It must have been delayed for various reasons."

"Actually, the delay is quite normal. He turned the document over to the government, not to the Black-clothed Guard, and then the man mysteriously disappeared."

"His children regarded his disappearance as a trivial matter, as this guy frequently vanished without warning, so they didn’t report it to the police or anything."

Number 24 nodded in agreement, "This may be related to the ’Game’ of the Demon God. The ’Game’ wouldn’t let us get wind of this information in advance. Moreover, if we knew its layout beforehand, the ripple effect could cause its plan to fail."

"Such cunning...!"

"It’s no wonder that even the ’Blood Demon’ is but a mere toy in its hands."

From Number 24’s perspective, the power level of the ’Game’ was continuously rising.

"Alright, let’s not rush to discuss the ’Game’. About Pan Hao, do we have more information?"

"We do. We found his diary in his regular room. Inside, there is extensive description of his experiences in ’Paradise’."

"Does this mean the little boy really is one of our own? This could serve as evidence."

"Yes."

Just then, Chen Xinyi appeared at the Game Training Camp, bringing a message from the exploration team.

Miss Chen was in a frantic rush, stammering through the Conch Headphones, "The old comrade’s message is, don’t get too hung up. Our team has already departed to secure that big tree!"

"There shouldn’t be any problems, and the matter will be resolved quickly!"

"He’s asking you to hurry and snatch the title of ’Saint’—his identity, name, place of birth, and everything else."

"Don’t let foreigners claim that this person was born in their land, stealing the destiny!"

Miss Chen imitated the elder’s tone, saying unabashedly, "There are always some shameless people who want to claim the land of the ’Saint’ for themselves!"

"When we set off, the initial Divination result was ’auspicious’. The matter escalated significantly, many died, but it could actually bring some benefits to our side."

The people in the conference room looked at each other.

The Divination was auspicious!

As for destiny, well, it might really exist...

Some places indeed have a spirit of their land that produces outstanding individuals generation after generation, managing to quickly overcome any adversity even in times of decline. Yet, other places wither away slowly, reaching only one peak before a rapid fall without recovery.

All of history is human history; civilizations persevered, passing down the torch from one generation of heroes to the next.

The most pressing issue now was which civilization the ’Saint’ who turned into a tree belonged to.

...

In June, the weather gradually became hot, and cicadas ceaselessly chirped in the trees.

Underneath the Chinese parasol tree, the sweat of youth was shed. The age of 18 is always the best, the most unforgettable of memories.

On this day, the National College Entrance Exam had finally come to an end.

"I’m back~ What a tough, thrilling, and fun test that was!"

Han Xiaoyue quietly pushed the door open with her backpack, "Why isn’t anyone here to welcome me? Where did Big Cousin go?"

Today, she dressed like a student—a simple ponytail, a bare face, and a pink T-shirt that perfectly accentuated her beautiful figure. Of course, she didn’t wear black stockings—teenage girls don’t look as nice in them, and it’s too hot for stockings anyways.

"Ah, sleeping like a log."

Han Xiaoyue noticed her family’s Big Cousin lying on the couch, asleep with a faint smile on his face: "What’s so tiring that you’re still sleeping?"

Wang Hao sleepily turned over and even started snoring.

Han Xiaoyue couldn’t help but tread lightly, not wanting to disturb him. After setting down her backpack, she ran to the yard to play with the catnip-loving stray cat.

The cat no longer seemed as averse to her as before, making strange "purr" sounds.

"The kitty has accepted me, yay!"

Wang Hao vaguely heard the sound of the cat and got up from the couch, shaking his head.

Wide awake, unbelievable!

A nap and he was resurrected with full health!

Sure enough, his regular exercise had paid off—running 1 kilometer, doing 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, and 10 squats daily without fail, persisting for three days, and now the effects were showing!

Seeing the girl in the yard, his mood instantly improved.

Dealing with weirdness day in and day out, one definitely needed a bona fide beauty to cleanse his sullied eyes.

"Xiaoyue, you’re back. How did the exams go? Didn’t trip up and feel like crying, did you?" Wang Hao acted it out, imitating Han Xiaoyue crying: "Wahh, my... my Big Cousin, I did poorly in math! I got so nervous during the exam, I forgot what Vieta’s Theorem was, couldn’t remember the quadratic formula, messed up the probability calculations, got half the multiple-choice questions wrong... Wahh!"

"Don’t say that. If you do, I’ll actually look down on you."

Han Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and made a "yes" gesture, "It wasn’t too good, but not too bad either. An average performance. I should be able to get into your alma mater, hehe, I’ll be your junior then!"

"I’ve even decided on my major, Biological Sciences. What do you think? The 21st century belongs to biology!"

Wang Hao quickly replied, "I won’t interfere with your choice of major, but biology careers seem quite tough... You’ll have to think it through."

"Could you maybe ask your classmates?"

Wang Hao sighed, "A dated senior is less worthy than a dog. The only junior who keeps in touch with me is Immortal Bean."

"But Immortal Bean has been busy with finals lately, haven’t talked for days. In a few more days, might even forget who I am."

"Sometimes... relationships between people aren’t that strong."

"Heh... You won’t chase after someone, yet you expect them to come to you? Where on earth does such good fortune exist?"

Han Xiaoyue knew well that while Wang Hao seemed amiable and easy-going, sometimes even a bit silly,

he was actually... quite aloof!

If you don’t pay attention to him, he won’t pay attention to you.

Expecting him to take the initiative to pursue a girl was outright fantasy!

(So tired QAQ, can I take a day off? How about being a salted fish for a day after finishing this side story?)

(Also, casually asking for some votes!)
