Wei Nan nodded and hung up the phone.

Chapter 174: Is Old Chu Also Someone with a Story? (Seeking full subscriptions)

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi rushed into the bathroom.

As soon as he entered, he was stunned by the scene before him.

He saw that a large basin of water had frozen into ice again, and it was even more solid than the one from yesterday.

"Water, need water..."

That same Divine Thought, a childish voice, once again drilled into Lin Yi's mind.

"I don't have time to change your water now. Wait a little longer; I have to go out!"

After saying this, Lin Yi washed his face, brushed his teeth, and hurriedly left.

"Water... come back, I need water... hurry, give me water..."

The childish voice became increasingly violent.

As a result, the ice in the basin let out a 'crack' sound.

Cracks actually appeared on the surface of the ice, and it slowly showed signs of melting.

Shortly after, when the sound of the door closing came, the childish voice seemed to return to calm.

"Huh?"

...

Lin Yi took a car to the meeting place arranged with Wei Nan.

He found that Sun Tao, Hu Quan, Li Xuewen, and Zhou Qi were all waiting there.

The moment Lin Yi got out of the car and saw them, the expressions on all of their faces were somewhat grave.

"Let's hail a taxi!"

Zhou Qi said with a frown.

No one else spoke, they just nodded.

They then hailed two taxis by the roadside and headed straight for Shen Mengyi's home.

Along the way, none of them spoke, and their moods were all somewhat heavy.

When they arrived at the home of Shen Mengyi's uncle and called her out, the moment they saw her, she was dressed in plain white.

Her eyes were obviously red and swollen, as if she had just been crying.

A smile hung on her face, as if she wanted to hide her sadness.

When she trotted downstairs and saw Lin Yi and the others, she smiled lightly and said: "Senior Brother Lin, why are you all here?"

Seeing Shen Mengyi's forced smile, Lin Yi and the others felt even more uncomfortable.

"The results will be out tomorrow, so we came to see you!"

"What's wrong? Did you just cry?" Wei Nan asked with a smile.

Shen Mengyi hurriedly turned her head slightly, trying to hide something.

"No way... I just woke up. Senior Brother Lin, you didn't come all this way just to say that, did you? A phone call would have been fine; why go through the trouble of coming in person?"

Seeing them acting hesitant, Zhou Qi walked over and said: "Forget it, let me say it. Shen Mengyi, we have already heard about your brother!"

"He was a good man and our role model... If you are sad, cry it out; don't bottle it up inside. From now on, if you have any problems, just tell us!"

"No matter who it is, we will all help you!"

Once these words were spoken, Wei Nan also nodded.

"That's right. Just treat us like your brother; don't be shy!"

"Right, we are all fellow disciples. In the future, we'll go to the New District together and attend Martial Arts University!"

"If anyone bullies you, just tell Senior Brother Lin; he's great at fighting!"

Lin Yi: "..."

The group comforted Shen Mengyi one after another.

At this moment, Shen Mengyi's emotions could no longer be held back.

Tears flowed out like a flood.

She hurriedly wiped away her tears and nodded with a choked voice: "Mm... I won't cry. Actually, actually, before my brother went on his mission, he already had a premonition!"

"He also told me a lot and entrusted me with many things..."

"Actually, I had long been prepared. If, if I can pass the exam for Martial Arts University this time, Senior Brother Lin... I want to go to Xingwu University with you. In the future, I also want to be a Demon Hunter, to inherit my brother's wish, to slay demons and eliminate evil..."

After she said this, Lin Yi looked at her deeply.

He nodded and said: "Alright, let's go to Xingwu together and be Demon Hunters together in the future!"

"And me! I'm going to Xingwu too!" Wei Nan hurriedly added.

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and Hu Quan looked at each other.

"If you're all going to Xingwu University, then I'll go too. Actually, when I think about it, going to Longhu University isn't interesting, and being a Daoist isn't free either!"

"In the future, we can join the Monster Hunting Bureau together, go slay demons and eliminate evil together, and fulfill Senior Shen Yuze's dying wish. Isn't that more meaningful than being a Daoist?" Zhou Qi wiped the corner of his eye and said with a smile.

As a result, Sun Tao, Hu Quan, and Li Xuewen looked at each other.

"If you put it that way, let's not consider anything else. Let's make a pact today: whoever reaches the score threshold will go to Xingwu University!"

"And join the Monster Hunting Bureau together in the future, and go hunt demons together?"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"See you at Xingwu University?"

"Right, see you at Xingwu University!"

A burst of hearty laughter made Shen Mengyi feel much better.

She looked at the people around her with teary eyes.

At this moment, she was very grateful to have these friends.

She was also grateful that they would be with her on the road ahead.

Amidst everyone's laughter, Shen Mengyi secretly observed Lin Yi.

In the depths of her heart, she thought: "Brother, don't worry, I am not alone. There is still Senior Brother Lin and the others. In the future, I will definitely be like you, join the Monster Hunting Bureau, and become a Demon Hunter..."

...

Afternoon.

Wu Mountain County Hospital.

Several medical staff pushed a hospital bed downstairs.

Lying on the bed was Chu Zhengxiong...

"Damn it, gently, gently! I'm a wounded person, can you be gentle?"

"Are you really medical staff? Why are you so heavy-handed? Hey you, Old Yang, light me a cigarette, hurry up!" Chu Zhengxiong shouted all the way.

Clearly, his mental state had fully recovered.

To recover to this extent in just one day and night—with this kind of physical fitness, why would anyone need to worry about him?

Beside him, Qin Zhaoxue, Mo Yanfeng, and Captain Han Bin, all of whom had bandages wrapped around them to varying degrees, looked at Chu Zhengxiong with smiles.

"Look at the state you're in! You're still thinking about smoking? Hold it in!" Yang Yong refused his request with a cold face.

This wasn't the first time.

Since the old man left yesterday, Chu Zhengxiong had been pestering him for a cigarette.

Yang Yong had refused him several times, but he was still relentless.

Just as Chu Zhengxiong was about to say something...
