"Oh?" Du Yu perked up with interest. "That confident, huh?"
"You bet! With Brother Jiang, Shi Yi, and the others, we totally crushed it together!" Li ngnan proudly declared.
Du Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. "So Lin Shijiang is pretty impressive?"
"He's decent, and we worked together pretty well," Li ngnan muttered under her breath, "but it depends on who you're comparing with.
When I'm with you, you're always the one carrying . But with them, I'm the one carrying everyone else."
Du Yu just laughed. "What, not used to being soone else's big thigh?"
Li ngnan: "Exactly! How could my long legs... uh, I an, I still prefer being part of the team, not the leader."
"You even took on the role of commander?"
"Being commander ans extra points! Of course I'd want to command if I'm aiming for first place," Li ngnan said as if it was obvious. "I've got Demon General Yiren—who dares not listen to ?
And the exam venue was Ancient Wilderness City. Didn't we already clear that place once before?"
Du Yu's expression turned odd. A second raid on Ancient Wilderness City?
So they're basically reviewing for the test…
"Alright, I gotta go, my mom's calling for dinner." Before hanging up, Li ngnan reminded, "Keep an eye on your phone these days!
I'll stay with my mom for a few more days, help her grade the tests, and then co find you."
Du Yu: "What tests are you grading?"
"High school final exam papers, duh."
Du Yu's face turned strange. "You can do that?"
Li ngnan instantly blew up: "I'm grading them, not taking them! There are answer sheets!"
Du Yu: "Oh, oh..."
Li ngnan fud, "Besides, who says I couldn't solve them? They're first-year... eh?"
Li ngnan heard the busy tone on the phone, pulled it away, and realized the call had ended.
"Ugh, damn you, Du Yu!" Li ngnan gritted her teeth in frustration, and before she knew it, she squeezed the phone and crushed it in her palm.
Li ngnan's hand stiffened. She blinked in surprise.
Nice~
Dad's about to get another chance to show so 'fatherly love'.
Outside the door, Li Hong ca in following the noise. "What happened?"
Li ngnan: "I-I wasn't careful..."
Li Hong frowned deeply. "How old are you now? If you keep being this careless, what if you hurt soone else soday?
Didn't you send your dad to the hospital once already?"
Li ngnan mumbled, "He's just too fragile..."
Li Hong's eyebrows shot up. "Now you're talking back to ?"
Li ngnan shrank her neck in fear and dared not make another sound…
So even the mighty Great Demon Tar Nan can't escape the tough love of a horoom teacher mom.
anwhile, Du Yu was fully awake now and ntally chided himself for being careless too.
Such a big deal as exam results, yet he hadn't gotten around to reporting to Master Qing.
Du Yu scrolled through his phone and opened Master Qing's chat window.
He tapped away at the screen, thinking hard, but ended up deleting everything he'd written.
A whole ten minutes passed before Du Yu finally managed to send out a ssage.
At the sa ti, in the Twenty-Ninth Bureau office building, Great Xia Capital City—
The evening sun stread through the window, bathing the woman's graceful silhouette in a rosy glow inside an office.
Yang Qingqing was sitting at her desk, brows slightly furrowed as she stared at the paperwork in her hands.
The text was obscure and hard to read, clearly ripped straight from an ancient text—might as well have been written in code.
"Bzzz~ bzzz~"
Yang Qingqing glanced over, then looked back at her docunts.
She hadn't wanted to bother with it, but a good three seconds later, she looked back at her phone on the edge of the desk.
The ssage was from Du Yu, and the contents were pretty interesting:
"Master Qing, for taking first place in the Seven Provinces and One City joint examination, should I pick a custom Demon Soldier as my reward, or go for a rare Demon Pet instead?"
Yang Qingqing's furrowed brow gradually relaxed as she stared at her phone.
Slowly, a faint smile appeared on her face.
She stared at the screen until it dimd, then turned her attention back to the stack of docunts.
Five minutes later, her phone buzzed again.
"Bzzz~ bzzz~"
Du Yu: "Or maybe I should choose a unique Demon Pet?
I could keep it as a pet in the Dust Spirit Garden, or send it to the Mountain Realm as a commander?"
Yang Qingqing couldn't help but shake her head and finally put down the papers to pick up her phone.
In the children's room at Prince Du's Mansion—
Du Yu was still tapping away on his phone, but what he didn't expect was—Master Qing replied?
Qing: "You finished the test well?"
Du Yu stared at the ssage for a long while.
No way!
This can't be my Master Qing!
My Immortal Master's surna is Yang, given na Qingqing, styled the 'deaf and blind', alias the Cool-Headed Hermit.
It's only my second ssage and she's replied already?
So the real question is—if I don't reply right now, what's going to happen?
Hmm... never mind, better give my Immortal Master so face~
Du Yu quickly fired off a ssage: "Master Qing, is this a good ti for a call?"
A few seconds later, a voice call ca through.
"Master Qing, it's been ages since I last heard your voice." Du Yu picked up and said.
A woman's cool, clear voice ca through: "You finished the test well?"
Du Yu: "Hehe~ yeah, I did great."
"Good." Yang Qingqing was always confident in her disciple. "Stay humble. Rest for a few days, and then imrse yourself in cultivation."
Hearing that his Master was about to hang up, Du Yu hurriedly spoke up: "Master Qing, I have a situation to report."
"Oh?"
Du Yu hesitated for a mont, then said, "I kind of… wrecked the examination venue."
Yang Qingqing's lips curled faintly. She believed Du Yu certainly had what it took to dominate everyone.
Besides, Du Yu had enough confidence to go for first place—no doubt he stood out in the battle zone.
But for him to say this…
Was he fishing for praise?
His voice ca through again: "The Cold Ashen Arrow that guards the Bottomless Pit above Xuena City—I made a Contract with it."
