991: Chapter 992: Gathering for a al 991: Chapter 992: Gathering for a al “You don’t seem to like it?”
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with so confusion, shook his head, and sighed as he looked at the sky, then Feng Yuan said,
“It’s not that, just…”
“Do we really have to drink this?”
“Don’t go overboard, all these ssy seasonings mixed together, can you really drink it?”
“Dare you not?”
“Stop sneaking food on your own, co on, co on!”
“Alright, stop fighting, we’re taking a group photo soon, are you okay?
You look pale.”
“It’s nothing, it’s not bad enough to need ergency care.”
“You guys…
really don’t make things easy for anyone.”
…
“Are you alright?”
Qi Chen gently nudged Feng Yuan, who ca to his senses and smiled, saying,
“It’s nothing, just a bit regretful.
The banquet isn’t as fun as a casual al.”
“Isn’t it all just eating together?
What’s so special?”
Qi Chen was puzzled and looked at Feng Yuan, who didn’t explain.
Just then, Dou Yanlan ca over and asked,
“Have you all finished?”
“Yeah, shall we go back together?”
“No, I might have so other things to do.
I’m probably not on the sa way as you guys.”
Dou Yanlan smiled slightly as she declined.
Qi Chen wasn’t surprised, but Feng Yuan was curious, not understanding what she still had to do.
Veronia looked around and said,
“Why do I feel like your examination on the second day seems a bit…
disorganized?”
After all, the second day consisted of individual tests, mostly rigid data collection, without too much demand for a unified entrance, etc.
It looked quite free, at least there were still people busy trying to finish their tests before the end.
“It’s pretty normal.
Right now, it’s all just a formality.
Actually, we could guess everyone’s potential from yesterday’s practical assessnt.
Today’s data is just for a more accurate judgnt.”
Speaking of which, Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji, which could only be said to be relatively accurate, seeing Xiao Ji right there, they just couldn’t determine the real situation of Xiao Ji.
Noticing Feng Yuan’s gaze, Xiao Ji looked sowhat puzzled at Feng Yuan, who smiled and patted Xiao Ji’s head, and said,
“Shall we go out and have fun tomorrow?”
“Well…”
Dou Yanlan hesitated, seemingly unwilling to speak up.
Qi Chen said to Feng Yuan,
“I’m okay with that, but as for Yanlan…
You know about her mother’s situation.
If she cos along with us…”
“Hasn’t she recovered yet?
Should I ask Nagna to co over and have a look?”
Feng Yuan asked with so surprise, thinking everything was already okay.
Dou Yanlan shook her head and said,
“No need, it’s nothing serious.
It’s not necessary.”
Though Nagna’s help might fully cure her, she didn’t want her mother to worry too much.
Nagna, being a well-known Life Divine Beast, could probably be recognized by her mother.
Divine Beasts are seen as unapproachable in the eyes of common people.
If they actively do sothing for humans, people might speculate about their intentions, not believing that high and mighty Divine Beasts would help without a reason.
“How about…
Little Crocodile, can you help out?”
“Don’t call Little Crocodile!”
“Little Crocodile~”
Veronia repeated the na in a mocking tone with a strange inflection, seeing Agunas glare at her, and raising her head disdainfully.
Seeing this, Dou Yanlan said sowhat helplessly,
“It really isn’t necessary, although my mom might not recognize Agunas, but that special power…
I don’t want to worry her.”
“Besides, letting her rest properly using this chance isn’t a bad idea either, so, sorry…”
“It’s fine, taking this chance to rest?
In that case, you’ll need to work even harder〜”
Feng Yuan smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in that smile.
Staring at Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan said,
“Sorry…”
“It’s okay, I’ll borrow your Qi Chen for tomorrow.”
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen looked at him, speechless.
What did he an by borrowing?
“How about that?
Did anything special happen?”
As soon as he got ho, Qi Xiaoshuang eagerly asked Qi Chen for updates, while Little Husky, who was lying on the couch watching TV with a bored expression, glanced at Qi Xiaoshuang and asked,
“What do you an by ‘special’?”
“Did you cause any weird incidents?
Weren’t you wearing your examiner uniform today?”
Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan and said.
If it hadn’t been for his peculiar outfit, she wouldn’t have asked such a question.
Yawning, Little Husky wagged his tail and replied,
“So what?
I wasn’t up to any mischief, I just felt there should be so sense of ceremony.”
“Wearing an examiner uniform gives you a sense of ceremony?”
Qi Chen said, speechless.
He glanced at the ti on his phone and said,
“We need to go out for dinner later; if you’re tired, you should go and rest a bit.”
“Got it.”
Qi Xiaoshuang casually responded and went back to her room.
Looking up, she saw Qi Chen and Feng Yuan yawning and then said,
“Speaking of which, I rember your dad’s coming back today too, right?
Why don’t we switch to Cotton Orchid Manor?”
“Can’t book a room.”
Shaking his head, Qi Chen refused.
Mainly because they didn’t feel the necessity; Cotton Orchid Manor was a place Feng Yuan had visited countless tis and held no surprises for him anymore.
On the other hand, places like Jufu Tower were rarely visited by him, usually only going when invited.
Understanding Qi Chen’s thoughts, Little Husky twitched his ears and didn’t say much.
Just then, his phone ringtone echoed from the couch.
Swiping his paw to answer, he spoke hands-free to the person on the other end.
Qi Chen looked at Little Husky in amazent, almost suspecting that the little guy used so divination Ultimate Move to foresee the upcoming events.
The call was from Yun You, mainly to congratulate Feng Yuan on the successful completion of the academy examination and to invite him and Qi Chen to Cotton Orchid Manor for a visit.
Honestly, Qi Chen hadn’t expected that Granny Mianlan would reserve a room for them, considering that the end of the examinations was a ti for students to relax; places like Cha Mu Town and other nearby tourist attractions would be crowded.
“Hehe~”
Little Husky showed a smug smile at Qi Chen, who shook his head and said,
“I need to ask my dad and see what they plan.
I can’t make decisions for them; also, Xiao Shuang has classes tomorrow, she can’t skip to hang out with you.”
“Too bad we can’t bring Dou Yanlan along.”
Little Husky lay on the couch, looking disappointed.
There was no need to even ntion Pei Yu and Zhong Liuyan; they probably wouldn’t have ti to join him.
As for Chen Xin?
She too was busy.
Twitching his tail, Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji, just as Veronia transford into her human form and gently picked up Little Husky, running her hands along his back and asking,
“How about I keep you company?”
“As long as you’re not thinking of using the opportunity to rebuild Mitradite.”
Feng Yuan looked helplessly at Veronia.
Whenever she acted this way, it ant she was considering that impossible task again.
Tugging at Feng Yuan’s tail, Veronia, slightly upset, said,
“Is that what you think of ?”
Rolling his eyes, Little Husky wriggled free from Veronia’s hands and wagged his tail, saying,
“Can’t help it, how many tis have you tried?
It’s not that it’s entirely impossible, but…
it’s unnecessary.
You shouldn’t let the past hold you back.”
“How do you know rebuilding Mitradite is a mistake?”
Veronia said discontentedly.
Feng Yuan reverted to his original form, casually grabbed Xiao Ji, and scratched Xiao Ji’s belly, saying,
“I didn’t say it was a mistake, just that I personally find it pointless and don’t want to support you in doing it.
You’re hesitating yourself, aren’t you?”
Gently patting Xiao Ji’s belly, Feng Yuan spoke softly.
If that wasn’t the case, Veronia could have easily left on her own.
He and Agunas, although opposed, wouldn’t really stop her.
Glaring at Feng Yuan, Veronia turned away, looking sowhat angry.
Agunas, holding a book nearby, seed lost in thought.
“Going to Cotton Orchid Manor?
Too bad I can’t go.”
Before leaving the house, hearing Feng Yuan ntion Cotton Orchid Manor, Qi Xiaoshuang expressed her regret, as she couldn’t simply take a leave to go out and play.
Feng Yuan, smirking, looked at Qi Xiaoshuang and suggested,
“How about taking a leave?
Missing school for a day or two wouldn’t hurt our ‘genius’.”
“Don’t lead her astray!”
Qi Chen said, pushing Feng Yuan away, genuinely worried Qi Xiaoshuang might actually take his suggestion and skip school, which would be troubleso.
