Chapter 347: Chapter 346: I Know You Don’t Find Me Troublesome
Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.
At the entrance.
The private car had been waiting for quite some time.
"I originally thought you would see me off, but in the end, it turns out I’m the one sending you off."
Li Jingjun’s eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but she wasn’t the kind of girl to be overcome by emotions, so apart from her slightly gloomy expression, she maintained a natural demeanor.
Xu Lingjun took the initiative to hold Li Jingjun’s soft hand.
Li Jingjun tried to pull away in a bit of a panic.
But unfortunately, even during their previous sparring, she wasn’t a match for Xu Lingjun, being pressed down and unable to move... besides, just seeing Xu Lingjun was already enough to soften her resistance by half, leaving her with no power to resist him.
She merely gave a symbolic light struggle and found that his expression was firm.
Only then did she give in and let him hold her hand.
Xu Lingjun sighed, "There’s no helping it. I really wanted to spend more time with you, but if I stayed here, I might bring some trouble to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Beside them, Liu Zhiyuan coughed intensely.
He mumbled, "Xu Lingjun, don’t talk nonsense. You’re a part of our Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, and that will never change. We wouldn’t kick you out over a bit of trouble. It’s mainly for the planet, for the Polar Star Battlefield, and for the fate of our Great Xia that we shed tears to send you away."
"Yes, yes, I absolutely believe in the truth of your words, Pavilion Master. You’re not annoyed by me, right, Pavilion Master?"
Xu Lingjun looked at Zhang Zhiheng.
"Hehehehe..."
Zhang Zhiheng’s face was full of a gratified smile. After spending time together, he realized Xu Lingjun was indeed an extremely rare talent, and even more commendably, he continued to learn diligently.
During this period, he had probed Xu Lingjun’s knowledge and found that his grasp on numerous key points from Zhanzheng College was not inferior to those who studied there professionally.
This means, while also focusing on the Martial Tao, he truly spent his nights staying up late studying the materials from Zhanzheng College.
He even felt that Xu Lingjun truly studied the knowledge every night, full of inspiration and overflowing with energy, even though Wang Qingya might have helped him significantly, his personal abilities were also clearly evident.
He had decided that after the Transformation Capsule research was completed, he would give Xu Lingjun an honorary mentor title.
Being just a student was too limiting; he needed to be a teacher.
By the way, Wang Qingya contributed greatly, as Xu Lingjun’s current achievements owe much to her tireless efforts, and she must be rewarded as well.
However, Liu Zhiyuan’s face darkened, feeling that Xu Lingjun’s address to him was inappropriate.
After joking around, Xu Lingjun said, "Alright, if you think I’m a nuisance, it’s okay. I’ll leave, but what about the thing I asked for?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan’s face became serious.
He handed Xu Lingjun a black backpack and asked, "Are you sure you want this?"
"I need a protective talisman, don’t I?"
Compared to Liu Zhiyuan’s seriousness, Xu Lingjun appeared much more composed... For him, while he didn’t wish to face such a grave situation, he wouldn’t avoid it now that it had presented itself.
There was no other choice but to face it.
A month ago, if he knew he was being targeted by an Upper Realm Grandmaster, he might have been worried sick, pulling his hair in frustration.
But now, over 10,000 Source Values were displayed right before him on his panel.
Hmm, maybe that’s not so clear.
10,000+ makes it clearer.
The Spark Prism was still stored in the Transformation Capsule.
Though he knew he was far from reaching the Upper Realm Grandmaster, Xu Lingjun already had enough confidence to face him...
It’s quite amusing that the confidence to confront Zhou Qianmo actually came from Zhou Qianmo himself.
If Zhou Qianmo found out that his attack not only caused himself a great deal of distress but also left his enemy unharmed, allowing his enemy to win over a beauty and gain the much-needed Source Value,
he might be so angered that he’d die in shock and come back to life only to die again.
But if possible, Xu Lingjun certainly hoped to have more cards to play with.
After storing the package away...
Li Jingjun spoke, "Actually, I have something to give you too."
Saying so, she picked up a small suitcase at her feet and handed it to Xu Lingjun.
Seeing Xu Lingjun’s curious and unsure expression as if he was wondering if it was appropriate to open it here,
"Go ahead and open it."
Li Jingjun suddenly felt like she understood Xu Lingjun quite well. At least now, she could clearly see from his expression that he was thinking in the wrong direction. Seriously, what could I possibly give you that can’t be seen by others?
Xu Lingjun opened the case and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. Inside were neatly arranged over twenty bottles of potion and more than a dozen elixirs, labeled with various uses such as healing, restoring energy, internal injuries, etc.
Li Jingjun said, "I might leave a bit later than you, but I’ll probably have to leave soon as well. Unlike you, once I leave, I probably won’t return to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion. Keeping the academic credits would be a waste, so I exchanged them for some commonly used elixirs and potions."
Embarrassed, she smiled and said, "Even though I know you might not need these, it’s still a token of my thoughts, so please accept them."
She seemed worried Xu Lingjun wouldn’t accept, so she added, "When I get home, I won’t lack these things, so don’t worry about me."
Xu Lingjun gazed deeply into Li Jingjun’s eyes.
He said sincerely, "Thank you very much, Jingjun."
Then, without regard for everyone around, he stepped forward and embraced Li Jingjun, kissing her.
Li Jingjun’s bright eyes instantly widened, her gaze first falling on Wang Qingya, only to find that not only was Wang Qingya not angry, but she also wore a motherly smile of gratification, looking as if she was thinking, "My boy finally knows how to cherish a good girl."
Li Jingjun initially felt a bit flustered, but what was more overwhelming was her shyness...
So many people were watching, and he just openly declared his claim on her.
But remembering that today was goodbye, the next meeting was uncertain, and he had such an outstanding girl like Sister Yaya beside him... he might slowly forget her.
In the end, all her restlessness turned into a helpless sigh, which Xu Lingjun swallowed entirely.
After a long while, Xu Lingjun let go of Li Jingjun and turned to look at Jun Qing.
Jun Qing was also looking at Xu Lingjun with reluctance... beside her, Daxiong had eyes full of unwillingness to part.
With Xu Lingjun’s departure, even Daxiong was taken away.
For her, Daxiong was her companion who fought alongside her during the most dangerous times in the Secret Realm.
"Remember to be careful now that Daxiong isn’t around."
Xu Lingjun advised.
"Yes, Senior, you be careful too."
Jun Qing didn’t seem too reluctant to part with Xu Lingjun. For her, his departure was no different than a business trip; they were all in the same college, and there would naturally be many opportunities to meet.
"Don’t worry, the Imperial Capital still has the Divine Soldier Guard, it’s safer there than here."
Zhang Zhiheng chimed in, chuckling, "Let’s go, and if this mission is successful, Xu Lingjun, I’ll give you a big surprise."
Xu Lingjun expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Pavilion Master."
Liu Zhiyuan coughed again.
