Chapter 54

"I met Qin Qin Qin Mengwu at an elder's home; she has a very good relationship with that elder, so I managed to get an autographed photo."

"It's just that Qin Qin Qin Mengwu has already left Yunhai City to attend to her own affairs."

Su Yu naturally dared not speak the truth; if he really did, he estimated that this group of fanatic fans in his class might actually rush over to find her.

"That's such a pity; it was so hard to get this close to the goddess."

"Boohoo, I'm crying myself to death..."

"My eyes are full of lemons!!"

After pacifying the people in the class group chat for a while, this matter was finally considered settled.

Seeing the matter resolved, Gu Ying immediately sent a message over.

Gu Ying: "Su Yu, I was wrong; I really didn't mean it. The phone slipping out of my hand isn't my fault."

Su Yu: "It's fine; just don't let it happen again. I believe you won't make the same mistake."

Gu Ying: "Boohoo, I'm so moved; thank you, Su Yu, thank you for your trust. So has Qin Qin Qin Mengwu really left?"

Su Yu glanced at Qin Qin Qin Mengwu beside him and replied.

Su Yu: "That's right; she left just now. She is no longer here."

After replying, Su Yu put his phone away.

"What's wrong? You seem busy typing away; is something the matter?" Qin Qin Qin Mengwu watched Su Yu constantly typing on his phone and felt somewhat curious.

Su Yu sighed. "Nothing much; my friend posted your autographed photo in the class group, and since everyone in the group is your fan, they've gone crazy trying to pry information from me."

"Is that so?" Qin Qin Qin Mengwu revealed a cunning smile. "Then how about we take a photo together, and you tell the group I'm your girlfriend? I'm quite looking forward to their reaction."

"Let's not do that." Su Yu hastily refused; just a single autographed photo had caused so much trouble.

If a photo of Su Yu and Qin Qin Qin Mengwu were posted in the group, he estimated they would be trending on Xia Country's hot search by tomorrow!

Su Yu did not want to wake up tomorrow morning to find himself a national celebrity.

"But I didn't expect Qin Qin Qin Mengwu to be quite so black-bellied," Su Yu thought to himself.

"I'm actually very serious, you know," Qin Qin Qin Mengwu said with some indignation; she seemed to know what Su Yu was thinking.

After Su Yu and Qin Qin Qin Mengwu exchanged pleasantries for a while, Hong Wu walked up holding a certificate.

"Su Yu, your Successor identity has been reported and completed; your identity is now also in Xia Country's information database."

"Keep this certificate safe; in the future, at places like hospitals, as long as you present it, you can exercise your special privileges."

Su Yu took the certificate and opened it to look.

The certificate was extremely simple overall, featuring only a headshot, with name and place of origin written below, followed by an official seal.

Su Yu carefully stored the Successor certificate; seeing this, Qin Qin Qin Mengwu beside him revealed an envious expression.

This surprised Su Yu somewhat; considering Qin Qin Qin Mengwu's current status, she basically had no need to crave anything.

Yet she was actually envious of such a Successor certificate.

"Is this certificate that good? The things it allows one to do aren't that many, are they?" Su Yu asked in confusion.

From what he had previously heard from Hong Wu, it merely granted some special powers.

Logically speaking, Qin Qin Qin Mengwu should have no use for it.

Hearing this, Qin Qin Qin Mengwu rolled her eyes and explained: "His special privileges are indeed ordinary, but what matters is his identity!"

"Identity?"

"That's right." Qin Qin Qin Mengwu nodded. "You must know that the further one progresses, the more important an identity becomes for a Trainer."

"Having the identity of a Successor proves that you have gained the recognition of a Heavenly King."

"Thus, no matter who it is, they will look upon you with higher regard. Coupled with the connections this Heavenly King once developed, the benefits one can obtain are even greater!"

"In Xia Country, a society built on human relationships, an identity is often more important than strength."

Su Yu nodded but did not take these words to heart.

No matter how important identity is, can it truly be more important than strength?

That would only indicate that your strength is still insufficient!

If Su Yu directly revealed a Divine Beast, even with just an ordinary identity, people everywhere would treat him with utmost respect.

After everything was settled, Qin Qin Qin Mengwu also received a phone call indicating she needed to leave for Mo City.

Hong Wu and Su Yu both watched Qin Qin Qin Mengwu depart.

In the time that followed, Su Yu continued training the Spirits in his possession.

The strength of these Spirits was also steadily improving.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

Su Yu also received an admission notice from Tianyun University.

"Student Su Yu, congratulations on being admitted to the Trainer major of the Spirit Academy at our institution, Tianyun University; please report to Tianyun University on August 1st!"

Upon receiving the admission notice, both Li Li Rufang and Su Su Wenhai happily posted moments on WeChat.

They also filmed a short video on Douyin.

This aroused much envy from others, who all expressed that Su Yu was promising and talented.

Both Li Li Rufang and Su Su Wenhai were smiling so broadly their mouths could not close.

It had been a long time since they had been this happy.

Beep beep beep.

Su Yu's phone rang; Yan Ruyue also sent a message.

"You received the Tianyun University admission notice as well, right?"

Attached to the message was an image showing Yan Ruyue's admission notice.

With a high score of 680, she had naturally gained easy entry into Tianyun University.

Yan Ruyue said, "Gu Ying got lucky too; rumor has it she missed the cutoff by only two points. Had she scored any higher, she likely would have failed."

Su Yu smiled. "Then let's congratulate her."

The chat box opposite displayed "typing," yet after waiting a while, Su Yu received no further messages from Yan Ruyue.

Finally, accompanied by a series of beeps, Yan Ruyue's message arrived.

Yan Ruyue said, "Actually, Su Yu, I've liked you for a long time! Will you be my boyfriend?"

Seeing Yan Ruyue's message, Su Yu could already imagine the scene on the other end of the phone.

The young woman had hesitated for a long time, deleting and revising, before finally gathering the courage to type and send this single line.

Su Yu smiled gently.

"Actually, so have I. Since we were very young, I thought you were beautiful and wanted to plot something improper against you."

On the other end, upon seeing Su Yu's message, a smile blossomed across Yan Ruyue's exquisite, pretty face.

"Then you are truly wicked! Actually, I also thought you were handsome since childhood and have long wanted to capture you!"

Yan Ruyue sent the message with a ferocity as fierce as a nursing kitten.

"Then our hearts must be linked; we are truly destined."

For some time afterward, Su Yu and Yan Ruyue exchanged sweet nothings on Penguin.

After finishing their chat, on the other end of the phone, Yan Ruyue looked at the messages Su Yu had sent, a smile curling her lips as she hugged the phone to her chest.

Subsequently, she opened Gu Ying's profile and typed.

"I confessed to Su Yu!"

On the other end, Gu Ying was obviously extremely excited, her gossip-loving heart burning fiercely.

"How did you confess? Did you go straight for it like a domineering CEO in the TV dramas?"

"No." Yan Ruyue typed. "I simply confessed directly within Penguin."

"He said he has liked me for a long time too."

Gu Ying said, "Of course he does! Just ask our class; who doesn't know you two exchange longing glances every day, acting like an adulterous couple and forcing us to swallow mouthfuls of dog food?"

Yan Ruyue asked, "Really?"

Gu Ying said, "Absolutely! Every class, you two just look at each other. If it weren't for your grades being good enough, you'd probably have been called in for a talk long ago!"

Early morning, August 1st.

Today was the day for registration at Tianyun University.

Golden sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the room.

At this moment, Su Yu was lying lazily on his bed.
