Chapter 22: Lin Mo Being Kept? (Seeking Follow-up Reading!)

Li Xiang was full of confusion and said: "Immortal Master Nong Qing, is there some misunderstanding? Are you sure that student's name is Lin Mo?"

Nong Qing glanced at him indifferently:

"Do you think I would mix up his name?"

*A bit insulting to the Immortal Master... *

Li Xiang hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't mean that. I meant that maybe..."

For a moment, he didn't know how to speak.

Nong Qing didn't make things too difficult for him, but said:

"He looks, um... quite handsome."

*That's definitely correct... * Li Xiang and Liao Wenbin looked at each other.

As a good seedling for the literary exam at Nanshan No. 4 High School, Lin Mo might not be very famous in the whole school, but Liao Wenbin, as the director of teaching affairs, naturally knew this student.

The literary exam results for this third mock exam were already out. Excluding the essay, Lin Mo's ranking had even rushed to second place among the Nanshan candidates.

This score could even enter the top 100 in the entire Xichuan Province, and a prestigious university was definitely guaranteed.

*Isn't this student's Immortal Exam score not very good? How come he can suddenly challenge for the recommended admission quota of a Dao Academy? *

Liao Wenbin was puzzled in his heart, and then said:

"There might be some misunderstanding here. If the Immortal Master is interested, I can talk to him first."

After saying this, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing exaggerated muscle groups, with a sense of wanting to catch Lin Mo immediately.

Nong Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to shake his head:

"Forget it, fate is fate, it's hard to force."

He himself wasn't particularly interested in Lin Mo.

If he could take in the Child of Luck, Ye Chen, then Nanshan's "buy one get one free" would just be a favor.

But now that the first goal was gone, the "one" that was given away naturally wasn't necessary.

Besides, the path of cultivation had a saying about fate. Since Lin Mo left early, no matter the reason, it meant the other party had no fate with their Dao Academy.

Li Xiang and Liao Wenbin both heard the subtext, and a trace of regret appeared on their faces simultaneously.

This was the 11th-ranked Xuanyuan Dao Academy in Qinzhou.

Missing two recommended admission quotas at once was indeed a pity.

Not to mention Ye Chen, even if he wasn't recommended to Xuanyuan, it wouldn't be a problem for him to be admitted to a Dao Academy through the Immortal Exam.

But Lin Mo was indeed an unexpected joy, but Li Xiang hadn't even warmed up to this surprise before it was suddenly gone.

This mood was more ups and downs than riding a flying sword.

"That's it, I still have to go back to the academy to report, no need to see me off."

Nong Qing acted decisively and didn't drag his feet at all.

This business-like manner made it difficult for the two to speak to keep him.

Until they watched the other party leave the teaching building, Liao Wenbin turned his head, hugged Li Xiang's shoulder, and a big smile appeared on his slightly honest face:

"Haha, Li Laoshi, not bad, one class produces two heroes!"

As he spoke, his arm gradually exerted force, and his smile became increasingly perverted:

"However, you seem to be a bit incompetent as a teacher. How come you don't even know the basic situation of your students? Is it because my ideological education for you is not profound enough?"

Li Xiang subconsciously wanted to shrink his neck, but found that his entire upper body was under Liao Wenbin's confinement and couldn't move.

He had a mournful face. He had only heard of it occasionally before, but now he felt the director of teaching affairs' "loving education" for the first time.

It was indeed very moving and hard to extricate himself from.

He only heard Liao Wenbin narrow his eyes and say:

"Li Laoshi, I won't make things difficult for you. Forget about Ye Chen, a proud son of heaven has his own ambitions, which is not a bad thing."

"However, it would be too much of a waste of talent if a rising star like Lin Mo isn't recommended for admission, don't you think? Hmm~!?"

Li Xiang nodded with a stiff expression: "Director Liao makes sense."

Liao Wenbin suddenly smiled again and said:

"In that case, Li Laoshi, contact Lin Mo quickly, don't delay time."

"No matter what method you use, it's best to let Lin Mo take the initiative to contact Immortal Master Nong Qing to explain the misunderstanding just now, so as not to miss a good opportunity."

After saying this, his arm loosened slightly, and Li Xiang was able to be freed.

A few minutes later...

Li Xiang rushed back to the Grade 12, Class 10 classroom from the director's office in a rage, looking at the few remaining students, but couldn't find that familiar figure.

So, he frowned and asked:

"Where is Lin Mo? Where did he go?"

Most of the students were confused, and someone replied:

"Isn't it a holiday? Maybe he went home."

Li Xiang then remembered that this year, after the third mock exam, it was also in accordance with the tradition of previous years to have a small holiday, letting the students go back to rest well before entering the final sprint stage.

Lin Mo wasn't a boarding student, so he should have left school directly after the exam.

"This kid really left?"

Li Xiang's face turned black, and he walked out again.

Looking at his hurried back, someone asked curiously: "What's going on? Why is Li Laoshi looking for Lin Mo?"

"You don't know?"

A classmate beside him said: "It was just said in the class group. Lin Mo scored 455 points in the Immortal Exam. I heard the admissions teacher from Xuanyuan Dao Academy wants to recommend him and Ye Chen for admission!"

"Ah? Why did I hear that Lin Mo scored 500 points and the admissions teacher wants to snatch him!"

"Isn't it because Lin Mo's appearance is stunning and he was spotted by the admissions teacher?"

"What? Lin Mo was kept by the admissions teacher and is now going to be recommended for admission? Damn it! If I had known the teacher liked this, I would have gone too."

"With your looks, why? If anyone goes, it should be me!"

"That... seems to be a man."

"... seems even more excited."

"..."

As the rumors spread more and more outrageously in the class, Li Xiang had already walked to the school gate.

Unfortunately, he still didn't intercept Lin Mo, who had left the school gate for a long time.

He took out his mobile phone, opened the address book, and called the other party—

"Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unreachable."

*Did he mute it for the exam? *

Li Xiang frowned, opened the Immortal Crane number again, and sent several pop-up messages to Lin Mo, but they all sank like a stone in the sea, with no response.

He thought for a while, clicked on the red envelope, entered the amount, and sent it...

"Damn, my hand shook."

Just after sending it, he secretly said it was bad.

Because of his excitement, his finger accidentally pressed the screen a few more times, and the red envelope amount instantly changed from "10 yuan" to "1000 yuan."

He subconsciously wanted to withdraw the red envelope, but it was too late—

【Ding-dong! Your red envelope has been claimed.】

The system message was almost instantaneous.

*This kid... * Li Xiang gritted his teeth, a trace of anger appeared on his face, his fingers flew wildly on the screen, and he typed a message in the chat box:

"If you don't answer the phone again, I'll have your mother come to school!"

In the end, Lin Mo still couldn't resist the "call parents" warning and answered the voice call from Li Xiang.

A cheap voice rang out in the voice call:

"Li Laoshi, listen to my sophistry first, ah no, listen to my explanation first..."

Li Xiang sneered: "Fine, then come to my office first, I'll listen to your sophistry in person."
