Chapter 92

Ye Lin couldn't wait to take off his Burning Moon Necklace and put on the Great Sumeru Ring.

The Burning Moon Necklace was only a high-level piece of equipment, and the mental power bonus was only 200 points, which was completely incomparable to the Great Sumeru Ring.

The moment the Great Sumeru Ring was put on, Ye Lin felt that his mental power had been significantly strengthened, and everything around him became much clearer in his perception.

Then he checked the storage space of the Great Sumeru Ring; the space inside was about equivalent to a four-room, two-living-room apartment, and Ye Lin estimated it was about two hundred square meters.

After wearing the Great Sumeru Ring, Ye Lin's mental power attribute reached 2137.5 points; it seems that for every 10 points of mental power increased, the storage space of the Great Sumeru Ring would increase by one square meter.

He put the dozen or so pieces of high-level equipment he cheated from Wu Shaoqi and the others, along with the Burning Moon Necklace, into the Great Sumeru Ring, and put his luggage in as well.

With the Great Sumeru Ring, he didn't need to carry big bags and small bags anymore.

After awarding Ye Lin, the National Zhuangyuan, it was the turn of the second and third place, but their rewards were much worse than Ye Lin's, whether it was skill scrolls or equipment, they were only epic-level.

After the award ceremony, all the Zhuangyuans came to the teleportation point in Shencheng to gather, preparing to return to their respective cities.

"Ye Lin, you are going to You Daxia Academy, right? Wait for me! I will find you!" Mi Xue waved at Ye Lin and disappeared into the teleportation array.

Ye Lin smiled dumbly and also stepped onto the teleportation array.

As the scene in front of him fell apart, Ye Lin stepped onto the familiar land again.

As soon as his figure appeared, crackling sounds sounded one after another, and for a time, gongs and drums were loud, which startled Ye Lin.

"Back! Our National Zhuangyuan is back!"

Accompanied by an excited shout, Qingcheng City Lord Hu Weng led a large group of people and rushed over, surrounding Ye Lin in the middle.

"Quick, let me touch it, rub the luck of the National Zhuangyuan!"

"I really didn't expect that our small place in Qingcheng could actually produce a National Zhuangyuan one day! This is famous!"

"I don't have much culture, I just have two words, awesome!"

Everyone surrounded Ye Lin, everyone was excited, and Hu Weng was even more radiant.

Producing a National Zhuangyuan during his tenure is a major highlight on his professional resume.

After learning this news, he was even so happy that he kept giggling.

"I am Ye Lin's principal, you guys move aside! I am his principal!"

Qingcheng High School Principal Gao Zhenyu was squeezed into the corner by the crowd; he shouted desperately, but the crowd was noisy, and no one could hear his voice anymore.

Looking at the fanatical crowd in front of him, Ye Lin also felt his scalp go numb, especially the group of aunties who said they wanted to rub the Zhuangyuan's luck but were actually groping him, which gave him goosebumps.

Some people even took advantage of the chaos to strip his clothes, almost scaring Ye Lin to death.

He used all his strength to drill out of the dense crowd, but the crowd behind him was still chasing relentlessly.

"Ye Lin, come quickly, get on me!"

Guo Qin's figure appeared at the corner at some point; at this moment, Ye Lin couldn't care about Guo Qin's strange wording, and jumped onto Guo Qin's back with a big jump.

Zoom!

Guo Qin could be a serial flower-picking thief, so his speed naturally didn't need to be said; he took Ye Lin and twisted and turned in the small alleys, directly shaking off the fanatical crowd behind him and returning to Student Zhuge Qianxing's small courtyard.

Student Zhuge Qianxing, who was making tea, saw the embarrassed Ye Lin and couldn't help but show a smile.

"People fear fame and pigs fear being strong; this National Zhuangyuan is not easy to be, right?"

Ye Lin wiped off the lipstick mark that he didn't know who had left on his face and smiled bitterly.

"Not easy to be, but the rewards are still quite generous."

Student Zhuge Qianxing smiled, handed a cup of tea to Ye Lin, and said.

"The National Zhuangyuan represents the face of You Daxia, so the rewards naturally won't be sloppy; since you're back, rest well; there are more important things waiting for you."

"What thing?" Ye Lin was a bit curious.

"The Gate of Apocalypse has appeared."

Student Zhuge Qianxing's eyes swept over Ye Lin's abdomen; inside, a key was lying quietly.

Ye Lin's face also became solemn; he had already learned the importance of the Gate of Apocalypse from Student Zhuge Qianxing.

That was a portal that once appeared with the seven great origin ancient artifacts.

"Does the teacher mean for me to go to the Gate of Apocalypse?" Ye Lin asked tentatively.

"To be precise, it's you, me, and Guo Qin going together!" Student Zhuge Qianxing said with a smile.

"Okay, teacher, then I'll go to the Job-Changer Guild first; I have some equipment to deal with." Ye Lin nodded very obediently, then got up and left Student Zhuge Qianxing's small courtyard.

In fact, all along, he hadn't understood why Student Zhuge Qianxing wanted to take him as an apprentice.

Especially Student Zhuge Qianxing's profession, which was still an extremely mysterious Diviner; Ye Lin even suspected that even Kensen and the people from the Investigation Bureau were all layouts made by Student Zhuge Qianxing for him.

It was all to make him fall into a desperate situation, so that he could owe Student Zhuge Qianxing a big favor in a logical way.

Therefore, Ye Lin actually still had a trace of vigilance toward Student Zhuge Qianxing all along.

Growing up in the slums, he firmly believed that there was no free lunch in the world.

If the facts were really as he guessed, it meant that Student Zhuge Qianxing had a big plan, and the only thing on him that could make a person like Student Zhuge Qianxing covet was his undying body!

But no matter whether Student Zhuge Qianxing was good or bad, due to the strength problem, Ye Lin could only play the role of a good apprentice for now.

After Ye Lin walked away, Student Zhuge Qianxing, who was drinking tea, suddenly coughed violently.

A mouthful of bright red blood sprayed out directly, and Student Zhuge Qianxing's face also turned gray.

"Guo Qin."

"Mr. Student Zhuge, I am here." Guo Qin, who was usually wretched, became extremely serious at this moment.

"During this period, you follow Ye Lin, don't let him run around, and must ensure that he cannot have any accidents before going to the Gate of Apocalypse; if there are any interferers, kill." Student Zhuge Qianxing said faintly.

"Yes, Mr. Student Zhuge." Guo Qin disappeared without a trace after a few flashes.

With his skills, wanting to track someone silently is simply too simple.

After Ye Lin and Guo Qin both left, only Student Zhuge Qianxing was left in the small courtyard; he raised his head and looked at the sky calmly until the sun set and the stars hung high.

The night was like ink, and the stars were dotted.

Student Zhuge Qianxing still stood quietly in the small courtyard.

His gaze seemed to cross the dark night sky and saw scenes that ordinary people couldn't see.

An ancient tortoise shell appeared silently in Student Zhuge Qianxing's hand, covered with complex patterns and mysterious symbols.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his mental power, as vast as the sea, began to surge; the tortoise shell in his hand began to emit a faint light, echoing with the stars in the night sky.

Student Zhuge Qianxing's face appeared exceptionally mysterious and solemn under the illumination of the starlight.

His fingers slid gently over the tortoise shell, and every touch seemed to be talking to the stars; a moment later, Student Zhuge Qianxing put away the tortoise shell, and his face became even grayer.

"It seems that Ye Lin doesn't fully trust me yet, but now that things have come to this, I can only barely try; my time is really running out......"
