"Teacher He, what are you thinking about?" Wei Luo spoke up as he saw He Kao a bit lost in thought.
He Kao snapped back and said, "Oh, I was still thinking about whether the Hidden Moth Sect has a grotto heaven... Why are you calling Teacher He?"
Wei Luo: "I just started working at the unit, and many colleagues don’t know yet, nor do I know how to address them. But calling soone a teacher is never wrong, since I’m the youngest anyway... Isn’t it trendy to call people like that nowadays?"
He Kao: "You can just call by my na... The youngest, how old are you this year?"
Wei Luo: "Nineteen, no, twenty after the New Year."
He Kao: "At your age, you should still be studying, have you graduated?"
Wei Luo: "I did graduate from my undergraduate program, it’s been a year and a half."
He Kao: "How old were you when you started school?"
To ask is to be shocked: Wei Luo started school at five, which is already a year earlier than usual. After the fourth grade, she went directly to the sixth grade, skipping a year.
After finishing the first year of middle school, she jumped to the third year, and after finishing the first year of high school, she jumped to the third year. At the age of fourteen, she took the college entrance exam. She didn’t skip any grades in university and waited four years to get her diploma.
What kind of school allows such skipping? Fengwei Village Primary School and Fengwei Middle School, both run by the Magic Sect’s mbers, as long as the grades are good enough.
Her undergraduate was at Xijing University of Transportation, her first-choice admission, mainly because it was close to her hotown. Even during university, she didn’t spend much ti at school; most of her ti was spent cultivating in the Flower Shocking Grotto Heaven.
The university wasn’t strict; as long as you could pass the exams, it was fine. But one of the reasons Wei Luo could often skip classes was that the teachers and classmates took great care of her.
Expulsion was out of the question. Who’s ever heard of a college student being expelled for missing classes? Besides, Wei Luo was the only female student in her entire major because she studied physics.
The physics major, reputed to be the second most brain-twisting after mathematics, attracts very few female applicants. He Kao’s Qi Yuan University also had a physics major, and reportedly, their class was all-male.
Probably because there’s a program called Optical Engineering and Quantum Information, the Qi Yuan University physics departnt was also nicknad Guangliang Temple, aning everyone was a monk in the temple.
I doubt Xijing University of Transportation is any better off, having a girl like Wei Luo is as precious as a giant panda.
Wei Luo originally wanted to study theoretical physics, but there wasn’t such a program in her undergrad, only applied physics, material physics, and optoelectronic information, so she reluctantly chose applied physics.
He Kao: "You chose this major, don’t you plan to go to grad school?"
Wei Luo smiled: "I’m already in grad school, now in my second year, majoring in physics."
He Kao: "Then how can you co out and work?"
Wei Luo: "I used my undergraduate diploma and bachelor’s degree certificate to find a job."
He Kao: "I an—doesn’t your advisor care about you?"
Wei Luo laughed: "My advisor is very busy, usually has a lot of projects, so it’s hard to even et. The topics assigned to us are generally completed independently, with the advisor periodically providing guidance.
The advisor also encouraged to go out and gain experience. I asked if I could find a job in Qi Yuan, and my advisor said there was no problem and that it was convenient to contact online if needed."
He Kao felt a bit dazed upon hearing this, wondering if his grad experience was unrealistic. Then he suddenly thought of sothing and testedly asked, "Is your advisor also a mber of the Magic Sect?"
Wei Luo nodded: "Yes, he is also a Tier Three Zongheng Scholar of the Qi Observation Sect."
Ah, that explains everything. Wei Luo likely has no employnt worries, and regarding her thesis and defense, they’re probably not issues for her either. So, her graduate studies are rather leisurely.
If you say she has a deep background, she’s just a country girl raised in a mountain village; if you say she’s naive and sincere, then do you understand relativity and quantum chanics?
Actually, just a few conversations reveal this girl knows quite a bit and hasn’t disconnected from modern society, her insights surpass most ordinary people.
But she doesn’t care much for many things, and actually, she doesn’t need to.
Even though Wei Luo looks like a naive girl, during this al, it was always He Kao asking her questions. He Kao testedly asked again, "Your master sent you to Qi Yuan for training, what kind of training is it exactly?"
Wei Luo laughed: "You’ve probably read too many novels and think so-called training is going to the mountains to fight monsters, right? Actually, I’m already in training, experiencing various people and things, including having a al with you today."
He Kao also laughed: "According to that, it’s monsters everywhere, even I’m a monster to be fought."
Wei Luo chuckled out loud: "It really seems like that, so you must be the boss level."
Unconsciously, they finished eating, and He Kao casually asked, "Are you full?"
Unexpectedly, Wei Luo honestly replied, "Not yet."
He Kao: "Should we switch to another restaurant or keep eating here?"
Wei Luo: "Let’s stay here. If you order the sa stuff again, it should be about right."
He Kao: "Another bowl of spicy soup, but no repeat on the scallion pancake and pan-fried buns. I’d suggest a beef pie instead."
Wei Luo: "Sure!"
Despite being small and petite, Wei Luo turned out to have a good appetite. After scanning to pay another twenty yuan, they added one bowl of spicy soup and a beef pie, continuing their conversation about Phoenix Tail Town.
He Kao suddenly thought of sothing and reminded, "Isn’t this information only eligible for high-tier sorcerers?"
Wei Luo: "Yes."
He Kao: "Then by telling these things, are you not violating the rules of the Magic Sect?"
Wei Luo blinks: "Seems like it."
He Kao: "Will you be punished by the Magic Sect then?"
Wei Luo slightly frowns: "The Magic Sect doesn’t seem to have regulations on how to punish for this kind of situation."
He Kao: "Ah, no regulations?"
Wei Luo: "These situations aren’t told to the low-tier sorcerers because there’s no need. Once the cultivation breaks through to Tier Four, during the secondary inheritance ritual, they will naturally know. Learning too much beforehand doesn’t offer any benefits, only adds idle thoughts.
If soone violates this, the master can only scold the disciple for being too talkative. If the master is no longer around, then it’s the Ancestral Hall that scolds."
He Kao breathes a sigh of relief: "I see, then sorry about that, you’ll end up getting scolded by Elder Jiang for telling so much."
Wei Luo: "It’s fine, master said that the information I know, if asked, can be answered."
He Kao: "What if I hadn’t asked?"
Wei Luo: "If you hadn’t asked, how would I know to answer?"
Wei Luo finally finished eating, expressed thanks to He Kao, and prepared to leave. He Kao asked: "Where do you live?"
Wei Luo: "E-Tis Apartnt."
He Kao: "I’m familiar with that place. Do you want to take you there, otherwise I’m afraid you’ll get lost again."
Wei Luo shakes his head with a smile: "I won’t get lost! A passerby gets lost due to practicing the Celestial Secret Skill, or for other reasons. How could soone not find their own place of residence?"
He Kao: "Actually, today isn’t the first ti we’ve t."
Wei Luo: "Ah, when else have you seen ?"
He Kao: "About two months ago, at the high-speed rail station. You asked for directions."
Wei Luo’s eyes light up: "Oh, I rember now, that really happened! At that ti your car almost got towed away by the police..."
He Kao: "You rember it so clearly?"
Wei Luo: "If you hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t rember; but once you asked, I just rembered."
Practicing the Celestial Secret Skill is a very mysterious state, almost like a clear Fixed Realm. From the outside, everything seems normal, but one won’t intentionally rember experienced events.
This ’won’t rember’ is not forgetting, it’s like a goose flying by without a trace, but once soone ntions it, it can trigger the mory... It truly is quantum state mory!
Since there’s no need to send off, He Kao let Wei Luo go on his own. Before leaving, they even added each other as friends. In a ’normal’ state, Wei Luo still uses a phone. He Kao indicated that if he needs help, feel free to contact.
Then he saw it was still early, only just seven o’clock, decided to go back to the company and work overti.
He and Xiaopang left at five-thirty, the walking street isn’t far from the company, and they neither ordered food nor drank, how much ti could eating spicy soup even take?
On the way back, He Kao suddenly rembered sothing. He opened his phone to search for the address of Wei Luo’s company, then checked the map.
He found that place is still so distance from here. If Wei Luo was off work heading ho today, E-Tis Apartnt should be in another direction, she could have just arrived after walking a bit, should it truly be a chance encounter?
Seems eting her on the road today might not be a coincidence! As for what really happened, anyway, sorcerers from the Lingxi Sect are very mysterious, He Kao can’t figure them out.
The Ancestral Hall issued an announcent that day, formally enacted the Joint Punishnt Order, it wasn’t until a week later that Hidden Moth received a reply, sent to the mailbox He Kao left.
Due to exposing the Huiming Shi Family and the suggestions made, the Ancestral Hall expressed thanks to Hidden Moth and ntioned there’s a gift to send, the thod is quite special, with ti and place set in the letter.
The ti is tomorrow at midnight, between eleven fifty-five and twelve-o-five, the location is the mound in the forest park where Hidden Moth shot Hu Shulue.
Regarding the item, the Ancestral Hall sent a photograph, showing three small banners, packed in a green nylon sh bag, resembling those used at the market to carry crabs.
The photograph also included instructions on the Spirit Lock Array, a set of array formation magical artifacts passed down for fifteen hundred years, originally collected by the Huiming Shi Family, with the Earth Spirit Banner already removed by Hidden Moth.
This ti, the Ancestral Hall simply gave the entire Spirit Lock Array to Hidden Moth. If he still wants the array formation inheritance, he can contact the Ancestral Hall again... Might they find a way to teach him?
This ti, only the artifacts were sent, without the array formation inheritance, since such knowledge can’t be packed in a sh bag.
The Ancestral Hall thoughtfully considered that since Hidden Moth last used a drone, if he wants to use a drone again this ti, attaching a hook would easily haul the sh bag away.
The Ancestral Hall simultaneously promised that an elder would be responsible for clearing the area; within those ten minutes, the place will be unmonitored and no one will approach, even if Hidden Moth personally arrives there’s no need to worry.
Will He Kao go? His first choice is of course – to call Jiang Daozhen.
