131: This damn love!

After Xia Qi left, Li Wenjun sipped his tea and chuckled, "You sent him to Dragon Battlefield so early. What were you thinking?"

General Hu chuckled, then said nonchalantly, "You saw it too. That kid has the ability to solo large dungeons, which means his strength is already not inferior to some of the promising talents at Godslayer Academy."

"What he lacks now are resources and experience. It's good to let him go and train."

Li Wenjun laughed wryly, "It seems you're really raising him like a son."

When the word 'son' was mentioned, General Hu fell silent. After a long while, he continued, "I've heard some bad rumors. Xia Dongliu and the others might really not be able to return."

"The front lines are tight, and I happen to have no offspring. Isn't it normal to raise a child for a brother?"

"That's true."

Li Wenjun thought for a moment, then nodded silently.

Then, he looked up again, "But you should at least tell him that Dragon Battlefield has enemies and isn't safe."

"What's the big deal about such a small matter? He'll know once he gets there."

General Hu's eyes flickered, and the expression of an old fox reappeared.

Li Wenjun shook his head speechlessly. General Hu was good in every way, except that he liked to add a little difficulty for people.

And he even called it, "This is training."

.....

Xia Qi returned to the dormitory and, looking exhausted, collapsed into the soft sofa.

He had been fighting continuously in the dungeon for over ten hours, enduring the scorching sun in the desert.

His body and mind were both exhausted.

He didn't even want to shower; he just wanted to lie down and sleep.

Yun Qingyue and Yu Qiu walked out of their rooms and felt a pang of heartache when they saw Xia Qi's appearance.

Yun Qingyue went to get a blanket, and Yu Qiu took off Xia Qi's shoes. Under the careful care of the two girls, Xia Qi was already sound asleep, breathing steadily.

Watching Xia Qi sleep sweetly.

The two girls exchanged glances, their eyes filled with complexity.

Yun Qingyue was the first to like Xia Qi, and even after arriving at Shengjing University, this feeling had not been properly acknowledged.

Yu Qiu, on the other hand, was unknowingly captivated by Xia Qi's charm after the college entrance exam. Strictly speaking, it hadn't been many days since she fell for Xia Qi.

But feelings like love don't distinguish between who came first.

Yu Qiu herself hadn't realized that her personality had changed a lot since she met Xia Qi.

Yun Qingyue noticed this, but she didn't expose it.

The two of them were like best friends now, and both had fallen for Xia Qi, but neither had broken through that barrier, each hoping to maintain their current friendship.

Right now, they were both fine, but the key was that Xia Qi was too outstanding. There was also a woman named Luo Zisheng at Home of Dungeons.

That woman's looks were not inferior to either of them at all.

"Qingyue, go back to your room and rest first. I'll watch him here."

"No need, I'm not tired yet. Yu Qiu, you go rest first."

The two girls urged each other, but neither went back to their room first. So, they both sighed and sat at the other end of the sofa, silently guarding Xia Qi.

But they didn't know that in the black market, less than ten kilometers from Shengjing University, a charming woman, mature like a ripe red apple, was inexplicably venting her anger.

"Damn Xia Qi, bad Xia Qi!"

"I'm already in the capital's black market, and you haven't come for so many days, not even one day, right?"

Teacher Lina randomly threw some small objects on the office desk onto the floor, looking very much like a resentful woman.

Her foxy face was furrowed in a frown, and her longing heart couldn't be reined in.

"Young Miss, Young Miss, calm down..."

The female staff member beside her, sweating profusely, picked up the things on the floor and patiently comforted her.

"You don't need to tell me, I'm not angry!"

Lina was about to pick up a cup to throw it on the ground again when a dull and vicissitudes of life voice came from the doorway.

"This is Dragon Pattern Jade, daughter, don't throw it!"

The middle-aged man rushed in and snatched the cup, and Lina's expression improved slightly.

"Dad, it's just tens of millions, do you have to be like this?"

"Zhang Qiuna, tens of millions isn't the point, but no matter how much money you have, you can't keep smashing things like this."

The middle-aged man pointed at the scattered broken objects on the floor. These were all expensive luxury items, each worth a considerable sum.

Lina also knew she was in the wrong, but the anger in her heart hadn't subsided, so she could only pout and remain silent.

The middle-aged man's name was Zhang Yuan, and he was the controller of the entire black market in Dragon Country.

Lina's real name was Zhang Qiuna, but she changed it to Lina when she was young because she disliked the name.

"Alright, my dear daughter, tell me what's wrong, and I'll help you solve it, okay?"

"You just called me Zhang Qiuna, that's so ugly."

Lina instantly started crying like a child, full of grievance.

"...." Zhang Yuan.

"Alright, alright, I'll only call you Lina from now on, okay?"

Zhang Yuan feared nothing except his daughter crying in front of him.

"Then help me solve something."

Lina wiped away her tears, revealing a hint of cunning.

"What is it? As long as you ask, Dad can do it for you, even if it's hiring a War God to be your teacher."

Zhang Yuan said grandly, this confidence stemming from his influence and power.

"Hmph, I don't care for War Gods."

Lina pouted, an expression of 'nothing special' on her face.

"My matter is also very simple: let me become an Instructor at Shengjing University, so I can go find little brother Xia Qi."

"If he won't come find me, I'll go find him, that's fine, right?"

Lina thought to herself, then stated her request.

"Become an Instructor... and at Shengjing University..."

Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded. This condition was not easy at all.

Hiring a War God was still manageable, as it could be solved with money.

Getting into Shengjing University was not easy. Although he had connections, the principal still had to agree.

"I'll find a way for you to do this, Dad will help you."

Saying that, Zhang Yuan readily agreed and pulled out his phone to make a call.

"Hello, Old Li from the Office of Academic Affairs, I have something..."

With Zhang Yuan taking action, Lina knew this matter would definitely be settled, and she revealed a smile.

"Xia Qi, oh Xia Qi, once I go to Shengjing University, let's see how you can escape my grasp."

As she thought, a blush appeared on Lina's pretty face.

This damned love always makes people inexplicably restless.

...

Time flowed forward a few hours.

At Home of Dungeons, it was still bustling.

People coming and going were endless.

It was no less lively than during the day.

It was already past midnight, but some people preferred to act at night, forming teams to clear dungeons.

As light shone, one person after another appeared in Home of Dungeons.

A full forty people exited the dungeon and appeared inside Home of Dungeons.

"Haha, I'm back!"

With an excited shout, the leading knight's face was filled with the thrill of battle.

Their West Wind Academy elite group had cleared the Fallen Land!
