27: The directors of Liushenyuan are here.

While Niu Qingtian was taking action, people from Shanghai's Shangwu, the Imperial Capital's Tianwu, Star City's Shenwu, Northeast's Yanwu, and Haicheng's Yunwu also began to rush to Lu Province.

How could they not make the same assessment that Niu Qingtian had made?

Never before had a provincial top scorer managed to have all the admissions directors of the Six Gods Academy personally attend.

Now, Ye Liuyun could be said to have set a new record in the admissions world.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun was still at home, smiling as he played with his rewards, grinning foolishly at the perfectly crafted battle suit and weapon set.

The S-Rank Storm Battle Suit, made from the hide and bones of a seventh-tier Vicious Beast, the Storm Sabertooth Tiger, came with a speed bonus. Even more remarkably, the battle boots and weapon were all designed as a single set.

When worn together, the additional bonuses were even stronger, especially the pair of multi-functional alloy bone gloves.

They were forged from top-grade meteorite-melted alloy and the claw bones of the Storm Sabertooth Tiger.

He couldn't put them down; the way he looked at this set of items was like he was looking at a beautiful woman!

No! He didn't even look at beautiful women with such intensity.

As he put on the battle suit, equipped the weapon, and stepped into the battle boots to admire his complete ensemble, a knock sounded at the door.

Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow. It was already evening; who would be looking for him?

Opening the door, he saw it was Zhao Hai. Ye Liuyun quickly stepped aside and said with a smile, "Director? Please come in quickly."

"Hahaha, I knew you'd be trying on the battle suit. I won't go in. Have you eaten? I had your aunt cook a few small dishes at home to celebrate your and Yue'er's college entrance exam scores. Let's go and have a bite together?"

Zhao Hai stood at the doorway, a somewhat constrained smile on his Face.

After speaking, he cautiously observed Ye Liuyun's expression.

Things were different now. Ye Liuyun was no longer the child who needed to humor him.

Ye Liuyun knew that Zhao Hai was trying to build a closer relationship with him and readily agreed. Although, from his current perspective, Zhao Hai was no longer capable of providing him with any substantial help.

However, he was very grateful to Zhao Hai in his heart; if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been specially recruited into the First Middle School.

"I haven't eaten yet. You could have just called, and I would have come over myself. You didn't need to make the trip."

Hearing this, the stone in Zhao Hai's heart fell. He was truly afraid that Ye Liuyun would refuse him, after all, he truly wasn't much in front of Ye Liuyun now.

He knew that from now on, Ye Liuyun would surely soar, so he wanted to deepen their relationship in advance. Ye Liuyun agreeing to eat with him meant that he understood the intention.

On the way.

Ye Liuyun could feel that Zhao Hai was not as relaxed with him as before. Rank was a great mountain in people's hearts.

He proactively spoke to ease the atmosphere, "How are Zhao Yue's grades?"

Zhao Hai smiled, shook his head, and sighed, "Her? She can't compare to you, but it's enough to get into a mid-tier university. I plan to send her to a specialized university in the Imperial Capital; her aunt is a teacher there and can look after her."

"That's great. Having someone look out for her is better than anything. If I also go to university in the Imperial Capital, she can come to me if she has any problems," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

There were too many universities in the Imperial Capital, and he didn't know much about them. The name of this particular school was quite unfamiliar to him.

"Really? That would be truly wonderful. If that's the case, then I'll trouble you to look after Yueyue for me."

"Director, what are you saying? I don't have many relatives. From you... you're practically half a relative to me. If it weren't for you, I'd still be in Pingcheng." Ye Liuyun, in his usual manner, almost blurted out the 'father' sentiment again.

Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, Zhao Hai's heart warmed.

He hadn't misjudged him; Ye Liuyun's character was of the highest caliber.

The car pulled up to Zhao Hai's doorstep, and the two entered the house together.

Along the way, under Ye Liuyun's deliberate efforts to ease the atmosphere, Zhao Hai's unintentional sense of constraint gradually disappeared.

Inside the house.

Zhao Hai's wife and Zhao Yue were both meticulously dressed.

They both knew that Ye Liuyun's identity and status were different from before.

So, they were extremely formal.

In the past, when Ye Liuyun came to their house for dinner, it was a gesture of support for an outstanding Junior, but now, Ye Liuyun represented Zhao Hai's future prospects.

After entering the room, Zhao Hai pointed to the mother and daughter and introduced them, "This is my wife, Wang Hong. You already know Zhao Yue."

"Hello, Aunt Wang. The Director called me in such a hurry that I didn't bring a gift," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

"Oh, what gift? We're all family. Your Uncle Zhao talks about you constantly. Today, I finally get to meet the Immortal Master. Come, come, come, take a seat, we've been waiting for you." Wang Hong's eyes lit up as she looked at the tall and imposing Ye Liuyun.

She used to think this child was tall and handsome on TV, but the Immortal Master was even more so.

She now had a bit of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law vibe, liking him more and more the more she looked.

Wang Hong was a very good communicator, and in a few words, she brought Ye Liuyun and their family closer.

Ye Liuyun was not at all averse to this.

All human interactions are purpose-driven, whether for long-term or immediate goals, which is very normal.

Zhao Yue herself was quite attractive, and after being carefully dressed today, she was even more beautiful, with less of a youthful aura and more of a charming one.

The dozen exquisite dishes on the table made Ye Liuyun's taste buds tingle.

He was truly hungry.

After taking his seat, Wang Hong continuously served Ye Liuyun dishes.

Ye Liuyun was very polite and ate with great relish.

"No wonder Uncle Zhao always comes home on time; it turns out it's because of Auntie's cooking skills."

Ye Liuyun's words made Wang Hong beam with joy and increased the speed at which she served him dishes.

"From now on, when you return to Quancheng, just come to Auntie's place. Consider this your home."

Wang Hong knew Ye Liuyun's family situation, and her maternal radiance couldn't be suppressed as it overflowed for his circumstances.

After thanking Wang Hong repeatedly, Ye Liuyun ate while asking Zhao Yue about her college entrance exam and university arrangements.

Young people tend to have more topics to discuss.

Zhao Hai and Wang Hong exchanged an inadvertent glance; today's greater hope was for the two of them to get to know each other better.

Zhao Yue spoke with full anticipation about university life.

"Have you decided which school you're going to yet?" Zhao Yue asked with a smile, her beautiful eyes looking at the ravenously eating Ye Liuyun.

"No, they haven't contacted me yet, but Chief Ning said this morning that it should be soon."

The two chatted about university matters, with Wang Hong and Zhao Hai occasionally interjecting, and the meal was eaten in harmony.

It truly felt like a family.

Wang Hong had just refilled Ye Liuyun's rice bowl when a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Zhao Hai frowned slightly. Who would be at his house in the middle of the night?

He told the others to keep eating and rose to go to the door.

Opening it, he saw a middle-aged man in a suit.

Zhao Hai's gaze sharpened. He had just seen this man this morning; he was Secretary Liu, Ning Nanguo's secretary.

"Hello, I'm looking for Young Master Ye!"

"Please come in, Ye Liuyun is inside."

Zhao Hai quickly invited him.

Ye Liuyun, who was eating, also heard his name and turned his head.

Zhao Hai led the middle-aged man into the living room.

"Young Master, Chief Ning sent me to pick you up. The directors of the Six Gods Academy's admissions office have all arrived."

The middle-aged man said respectfully, bowing his head.

"I... Secretary Liu, have you eaten? Would you like to join us?" Ye Liuyun looked longingly at the rice in his bowl.

He wasn't full yet.

Secretary Liu looked up and smiled, "It's alright, Young Master, take your time eating. I'll wait for you at the door, no rush."

"Alright, I'll be right there."

Ye Liuyun quickly sped up his eating.

Zhao Hai and Zhao Yue were inwardly shocked. People from the Six Gods Academy had all come, and they were even the directors of the admissions office. This scale was simply incredible...
