Chapter 19: Graduation

This year, our Rong Cheng No. 1 High School achieved quite good results, with as many as twenty-eight students admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University...

Our Lu Xun and Lin Yan even opened the Heaven Earth Meridian, becoming the geniuses that attracted nationwide attention...

Especially Lu Xun, on the internet's Genius Ranking, some even placed him first...

Two days later, at the graduation ceremony, the principal beamed with joy and lavished praise on Lu Xun.

This year, Rong Cheng No. 1 High School produced two Heaven Earth Meridians, achieving its best results ever, so the principal was naturally delighted.

Tch, what's the Wild Ranking?

Lin Yan objected.

He had also seen the ranking that placed Lu Xun first; that ranking differed little from the Authoritative Ranking, except it put Lu Xun at the very front.

On all the online rankings, Lin Yan found himself outside the top hundred.

As for Lu Xun, his rankings on other lists were not bad either, basically within the top twenty, even top ten.

That made Lin Yan feel anything but at ease.

We've graduated~

At the end of the graduation ceremony, all the students cheered, and the whole campus was filled with jubilation.

Three years of life at the Martial School came to a close.

From now on, everyone will face a brand-new life.

Whether this life is good or bad, sometimes change itself is worth looking forward to.

Lu Xun, you've done great—hundreds of times better than your parents were back then. If they knew your situation, they'd be overjoyed.

Martial Teacher found Lu Xun, and as he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

Martial Teacher, the school gave me a generous reward—these Dark Energies...

No need to return them to me; keep them for yourself. My meridians are damaged—I'll never be able to advance further in this lifetime.

Lu Xun was preparing to return the Dark Energy that Martial Teacher had given him last time.

But Martial Teacher refused.

Train hard and grow quickly.

Mm!

Lu Xun nodded heavily.

After the graduation ceremony ended, there was still a graduation party.

The students weren't in a rush to leave school, gathering in small groups.

Years later, they will realize that today will be the last time many of them gather together.

Many people will never meet again after today's parting, for the rest of their lives.

Even if they are in the same city.

Huh, Liu Mei, how did she end up hanging out with Lin Yan?

At that moment, Li BuFan noticed Liu Mei and Lin Yan walking hand in hand.

Although the story of Lin Yan vomiting blood from anger at Lu Xun the previous week had spread across the campus, few dared to mock him.

On the contrary, many girls envied Liu Mei, wishing they could be the woman by Lin Yan's side.

Liu Mei greatly enjoyed this feeling.

When she saw Li BuFan and Lu Xun, she lifted her head high, like a proud swan coated in a thick layer of powder.

"You're picking up the goods Lu Xun doesn't want? This third young master of the Lin family simply throws away the face of a rich second-generation heir."

Li BuFan had a poisonous mouth and a loud voice, deliberately letting Liu Mei hear it.

Mm, he did it on purpose.

Over the past three years, he had long grown tired of Liu Mei.

Upon hearing his words, Liu Mei's face instantly darkened; she glanced nervously at Lin Yan, afraid he might hear.

Unfortunately, Lin Yan still heard it.

Surprisingly, Lin Yan did not avoid him but walked straight over.

"Lu Xun, how can I say you don't know value? You licked her for three years, then gave up at the crucial moment—you probably don't know that Liu Mei has been diagnosed with an Innate Alluring Body; if you could dual cultivate with her, you'd get twice the result with half the effort."

Lin Yan gloated triumphantly.

Liu Mei raised many fish, but she herself was just a fish in someone else's pond.

She had always wanted to attach herself to Lin Yan, the wealthy family heir.

But Lin Yan gave her lukewarm responses and didn't think much of her.

Only after being defeated by Lu Xun and vomiting blood from rage did Lin Yan realize he might not be able to regain his standing in the short term.

Only then did he begin to value Liu Mei.

After all, Liu Mei could make Lu Xun lick her for three years, so she might have something extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, this newfound regard brought an unexpected gain.

Liu Mei actually possesses an Innate Alluring Body.

This made his thoughts about Chu Youqing fade considerably.

After all, Chu Youqing is merely pretty, whereas Liu Mei can help him grow quickly.

Liu Mei, "bashfully" leaning against Lin Yan, looked at Lu Xun with eyes full of satisfaction.

As if saying,

How about it, are you regretting it now?

"Innate Alluring Body? This isn't the material to be a natural furnace cauldron... tsk tsk, Liu Mei, with such a fine physique, you choose such a useless good-for-nothing?"

"I've heard that in the capital city there is an Innate Alluring Body who married into a wealthy young master from a family with a Six Realm expert; within a few years she rose to the Third Realm."

If you don't believe, you can check it yourself—how popular is the Innate Alluring Body in Immortal Cultivation?

Li Bufan's eyes rolled, and he clattered out a bunch of words.

Li Bufan, you say who's useless? This Young Master at least opened the Heaven Earth Meridian—what do you have?

Lin Yan was angered.

I have a good brother Lu Xun who can make you vomit blood from anger.

Li Bufan decisively brought out Lu Xun.

You're looking for death!

Come on, let Lu Xun beat you until you bleed again.

If you've got the guts, don't hide behind Lu Xun!

I'll just hide.

While the two were arguing, Lin Yan didn't notice; Liu Mei, holding Lin Yan's hand, quietly let go.

A few minutes later, the farce ended; Lin Yan left harsh words for Li Bufan, then left together with Liu Mei.

He doesn't really dare provoke Lu Xun these days, but when facing Li Bufan he's still not timid.

Lu Xun, these two are really a slut and a dog—they'll break up in a day.

Li Bufan said.

Break up in a day?

You didn't notice Liu Mei's expression? Obviously she's preparing to find a new partner.

You actually gave her a clear path.

This isn't a clear path at all; I still have something to say. That Innate Alluring Body itself comes from a great family; Liu Mei, who has no power, influence, or background, if she truly goes to a major family, not becoming a plaything would already be good.

Having said that, Li Bufan suddenly looked at Lu Xun: "You won't still be hung up on her, will you?"

Hung up?

Lu Xun withdrew his gaze.

Since finding out that note was from Chu Youqing, to Liu Mei he has become a stranger.

Who would still be hung up on a green tea who deliberately exploited your misunderstanding, treating you as a sycophant for three years?
