Chapter 842: Returning to Campus

That very day, at Beijing International Airport!

Lin Yuxi dragged her small suitcase as she walked out of the airport.

Dressed in a simple yet capable women's suit that unmistakably displayed her strong-willed demeanor, with a pair of sunglasses on her face, she looked fashionable and beautiful, just like a female star.

She took out her mobile phone and pressed the power button, yet the phone showed no reaction whatsoever.

"I left in such a hurry last night that I forgot to charge it! Never mind, I'll just head straight to the school!" she muttered to herself, then hailed a taxi and rushed toward Beijing University.

Beijing University was one of the top institutions in China; every student who graduated from there became an elite member of society, and some even rose to become major figures.

Apart from her own abilities, much of Lin Yuxi's success today was owed to her Beijing University diploma, which served as her stepping stone.

However, even though she had now become the CEO of the Liu Group's South China Branch, she had never received an invitation from Beijing University to attend the school anniversary celebration.

This was because only those who had achieved outstanding accomplishments in a certain Daoist Realm or were truly powerful figures in the business world qualified to receive such invitations.

Xu Feifei's current status was that of a doctorate holder at a renowned foreign research center; it was said she had successfully developed a medicine capable of extending human lifespan, which had already passed international certification.

When Lin Yuxi learned this news from other classmates last night, she was deeply moved, never having imagined that Xu Feifei could achieve such feats!

Receiving an invitation to Beijing University's anniversary celebration was indeed well-deserved!

"With Xu Feifei achieving such success today, Xu Que should be content," Lin Yuxi thought with emotion while sitting in the taxi; the stone that had weighed on her heart for several years had finally vanished completely.

Soon, the car arrived at Beijing University.

For this anniversary event, apart from the graduates actively invited by the school, most other students would also come to participate.

After all, it was a school anniversary; many people wanted to return to their alma mater to take a look, meet old classmates, and, of course, seize this opportunity to acquaint themselves with prominent figures.

Lin Yuxi had originally planned to attend, which was why she had contacted some old classmates last night; unexpectedly, she learned about Xu Feifei's news right then, so she immediately set off.

Walking along the university road, Lin Yuxi felt quite emotional.

Although several years had passed and things had changed while people remained the same, everything within the school remained vividly before her eyes.

She passed by a pond, a famous Holy Land for couples within the school, where many young pairs would often sit on the small benches by the lake, expressing their love and discussing their feelings.

Back then, she and Xu Que had also come here, holding hands, talking about life and discussing ideals.

But most of the time, she would be left neither crying nor laughing by the words flowing from Xu Que's mouth.

Recalling it now, the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but curl up slightly into a smile.

"Pity that Creation toys with people! Our fate has ultimately come to an end! Let the past remain the past!" She shook her head, stepped forward, and headed toward the Central Building of the university.

Students attending the anniversary celebration needed to register first before proceeding to the Grand Hall at the rear to watch the performances and other events.

Since Lin Yuxi's mobile phone had powered off due to lack of battery, she could only go register her information first, then see if she could meet any familiar old classmates to borrow a phone and try contacting Xu Feifei.

"Eh, Lin Yuxi?"

Just as she stepped into the Central Building, a voice called out from behind her.

Lin Yuxi turned around to look and saw several former university classmates, both male and female.

The one who had called out to her was a female student who had been quite close to her back in the day.

But beside this female student were several male classmates, three of whom made Lin Yuxi's expression turn slightly awkward.

These three were precisely Xu Que's former dormitory roommates: Ceng Darong, Su Xiaoliang, and Wang Jin!

"Wow, Yu Xi, it really is you! Long time no see; when did you return to the country?" Upon recognizing Lin Yuxi, the female student immediately ran forward in surprise.

Lin Yuxi smiled gently, "I just returned a few days ago!"

"Ever since you went abroad, I couldn't contact you at all; we must have a good chat today!" the female student said with a grin.

At this moment, Ceng Darong and the other two, with darkened faces, directly ignored Lin Yuxi and walked toward the stairs.

Lin Yuxi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Student Ceng, wait a moment!"

Ceng Darong and the other two immediately froze, stopped in their tracks, and looked at Lin Yuxi.

"Oh, so the great school beauty Lin still remembers us? What an honor for three lifetimes!" Ceng Darong said coldly.

Wang Jin also laughed mockingly, "Great school beauty Lin, didn't you say before graduation that you didn't know us?"

Lin Yuxi pondered briefly before replying, "Whether you believe it or not, I said nothing back then for your own good! Additionally, there is something I wish to tell you."

"Heh, forget it, great school beauty Lin; the only thing we want to know is about that incident from back then; we don't care about anything else," Su Xiaoliang said with a cold smile.

Immediately, the three turned around and continued walking forward.

At this point, Lin Yuxi spoke, "What I want to say is that Xu Que is not dead; he is still alive!"

Whoosh!

In an instant, Ceng Darong and the other two halted their steps, their faces filled with shock as they whipped around, brimming with terror.

Xu Que is not dead?

Still alive?

How could this be possible?

Not only the three of them, but even the other classmates present were shocked, looking at Lin Yuxi in disbelief.

"I'm telling the truth; he is still alive. I actually met him in Linshen City just two days ago, but..." Lin Yuxi paused slightly here, then proceeded to inform everyone about Xu Que's possible mental illness.

"The main reason I came here is to find Xu Feifei and take her back to her brother; this is the last thing I can do to make amends to Xu Que! From now on, I hope we owe each other nothing, and everyone can return to living their own lives!" Having said this, Lin Yuxi stepped away and went upstairs to register her information.

Ceng Darong and the rest of the classmates stood frozen on the spot, their faces full of astonishment.

They could hardly believe what Lin Yuxi had said; Xu Que was actually not dead!

"Could this... could this actually be true?"

"But that doesn't make sense; we all saw his body with our own eyes at the hospital back then!"

"Could something else have happened afterward? Someone saved him, but the car accident caused brain trauma, leading to his mental illness?" Several classmates began discussing among themselves.

Ceng Darong and the other two immediately darkened their faces and shouted angrily, "What are you talking about? Who has a mental illness?"

Everyone immediately smiled bitterly, "Good grief, is it really necessary for you three to get so worked up?"

"Didn't Lin Yuxi just say it? That kid Xu Que actually claimed that Fairy Chang'e is his woman; even if that isn't a mental illness, it must be a delusion!"

"There's no need to get so worked up; having a mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of!"

"Exactly! Xu Que is, after all, our former classmate; given time, we will certainly go visit him, and everyone should help however they can!"

……

Meanwhile, on a small mountain road at the Back Mountain of Beijing University.

Two figures descended from the sky, instantly landing on the ground; it was none other than Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan.

At this moment, the mountain road at the Back Mountain was completely deserted, so their appearance did not stir up any panic or chaos.

"Strange, this place seems to be hiding some Treasure!" As soon as Xu Que landed, his gaze swept across the surroundings.

Just now, he had indeed sensed a burst of Spiritual Energy, but it flashed and vanished, disappearing the moment he touched the ground.

Jiang Hongyan, however, wore a face full of confusion, somewhat dazed.

"Little girl, what's wrong?" Seeing her expression, Xu Que hurriedly asked.

Jiang Hongyan shook her head slightly and said softly, "I also sensed that wave of Spiritual Energy just now, and it resonated with the Immortal Artifact inside my body!"

"What?" Xu Que was instantly startled.

Apart from another Immortal Artifact, what else could resonate with an Immortal Artifact?

Could it be that another Immortal Artifact is hidden within the Back Mountain of Beijing University?
