Chapter 318: Chapter 56_3

The college entrance examination is still a ways off, but the competition has already begun.

Although the provincial exam is tomorrow, werewolves could already smell blood when the city-level results were released.

This mainly depends on the value held by the small competition area, coupled with Li Zhiyuan’s exaggerated age.

Principal Wu once mentioned to Li Zhiyuan that many colleges had already started extending feelers, just waiting for the provincial exam to start the real hunt.

Wu Xinhao was quite happy since his middle school did not yet have the privilege of recommending students for college admission.

Although teaching quality work is an overall matter, in specific circles or industries, having a leading horse has very significant effects, capable of bringing more attention and resources to the school.

"Good," Li Zhiyuan accepted the letter, "When will I be admitted in advance?"

"Pfft..." Xue Liangliang was just lifting his cup to drink water, and he almost spit out half of it, wiping the corner of his mouth, "You’re in such a hurry?"

"Yes."

"Your attitude makes me feel like our school is hiding some treasure."

"No need for treasure, having a Corpse is good enough."

"No, no, no, I’m really scared of Xiao Yuan’s ghost stories."

"Huh?"

"School ghost stories."

"Oh, really? I don’t believe it."

"I’m really a scaredy-cat."

Li Zhiyuan stared at him, unblinking.

Xue Liangliang shrank his neck: "That’s different, she isn’t a ghost, nor a Corpse, she’s hot."

Li Zhiyuan asked puzzledly: "There’s something hot under the river?"

"Wait for the provincial exam results to come out, then we can follow the procedure. I think you can score full marks in the city exam, and definitely get an award in the provincial exam; you’ll surely meet the early admission requirements."

Actually, Xue Liangliang wasn’t entirely accurate, the requirements are not calculated this way, but the establishment of requirements is meant to save on selection costs. When some people’s capabilities and talents suffice to break constraints, conditions can also be flexible and adaptable.

"I took a leave already, when you all head back, I’ll shamelessly share a ride with you."

"Ah?"

"My internship employment has been arranged, I’m going to Mountain City at the beginning of next month."

"Oh, you want to see her again before you leave."

"You say ’sister-in-law’ quite smoothly. I thought you’d be scared and disgusted by them."

"I really dislike the Bai Family, but since she can make the Bai Family members return underwater, I think it’s good; that’s where they should stay."

Xue Liangliang took a deep breath and let it out in a puff, muttering softly, "That’s still my contribution."

"Do we need to include Brother Liangliang’s name in the local chronicles? After all, you also made a great contribution to maintaining peace and security for our territory."

"Hahaha, that would be embarrassingly funny, future people reading this will probably curse me and the person who records this as a fool."

"Are you still going to see her?"

"Once I’m in Mountain City, who knows when I’ll be able to come back. I might as well see her beforehand; after all, it’s a fixed task."

"Like how my grandpa and Grandmaster contribute their share to public welfare?"

"Hey, you kid, don’t think I can’t tell. You’re pretending to be naively outspoken!"

Xue Liangliang suddenly pinned Li Zhiyuan onto the bed, tickling him.

After Li Zhiyuan kept imploring for mercy, he finally let the boy go.

After chatting for a while longer, Xue Liangliang prepared to leave:

"You put in the effort, do well in the exam tomorrow, I’ll be waiting outside the exam halls."

"Okay."

Just then, a knock on the door sounded again.

"Who is it?" Principal Wu, across the door, coughed up the letter again.

"I’m here for Xiao Yuan; I’m his brother."

"Another brother? Xiao Yuan has so many brothers in Jinling?"

Li Zhiyuan opened the room door and saw the visitor.

The man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, despite wearing casual clothes, stood there like a sharp knife.

"Principal Grandpa, he’s my brother."

"Oh, okay, go ahead and have your meeting then."

Wu Xinhao waved his hand and swam back to his room.

The visitor stood at the door, not entering, and straightforwardly said:

"Grandma wants you to come back to Beijing."

Li Zhiyuan shook his head: "I won’t go."

"Your mom used some type of application report to request it from the higher-ups, Grandpa refuses family interference, but you can make your own life choices."

"This is my choice."

"Although your parents are divorced, you’re still part of our family."

"My surname is now Li."

"No more room for negotiation?"

"None."

"Okay."

The visitor turned around crisply and left.

Xue Liangliang asked somewhat surprised: "Who was he?"

"My father’s eldest brother’s son."

It wasn’t that Li Zhiyuan intentionally referred to him so coldly; he was momentarily confused about their family relations.

"Do relatives from your father’s side always interact like this?"

"Not usually. It’s probably a command from Grandpa Bei."

"A command? No wonder, that person really seems like he’s in the military."

"He is."

"But, even if parents divorce, it shouldn’t affect how you interact to this extent, did your mom really change your surname?"

"Yes, she did."

"Oh, no wonder."

"But that’s not the main reason."

Li Zhiyuan knew that his Grandpa Bei was a very principled person. Since Li Lan had used a special application to arrange for her son, Grandpa Bei could only acknowledge this arrangement and did not allow family members to interfere or influence it.

The boy now suspected that what Li Lan was doing was originally similar to what Zhu Changyong did, even if not in the sea.

And the one who came here looking for him was actually going against Grandpa Bei’s will, which was hard to imagine in their northern family. If Grandpa Bei found out, he might really have his legs broken.

Hence, the visitor’s cold demeanor was just his customary way, while his own coldness was to avoid misunderstandings, fearing to give them any impression there was room to maneuver.
