37: Nie Yuqian's suspicions

In the group chat, Zhao Yuanming's message was quickly flooded by others.

After roughly glancing at the messages above and below in the group chat,

Qin Yu finally realized that it was his classmates

planning to organize a class reunion before the College Entrance Examination.

And so far, besides him and Lin Xueyue, even their homeroom teacher Xu Ziliang would be attending.

"A class reunion? Old Xu is going too?" Qin Yu fell into contemplation as he looked at the message.

If he hadn't seen that Xu Ziliang was also attending, to be honest, Qin Yu wouldn't even consider it and would directly refuse... After all, he had attended many such class reunions in his previous life.

He didn't even need to think about what would happen if he went.

It would simply be people who awakened good Professions being flattered by those who awakened poor Professions.

As for class camaraderie?

It might exist, but it would definitely be an exception.

And for a genius like him, who had "fallen into the mud," to go,

it would only make him the butt of others' jokes.

With the College Entrance Examination approaching, Qin Yu didn't want to be ridiculed face-to-face again.

He didn't care, it wasn't like he was sick... However, thinking back to his three years of high school, Xu Ziliang, as his homeroom teacher, had always cared for him, both in life and academics.

He had repeatedly championed him to become Jiangzhou No. 1 High School's top seed.

All sorts of resources within the school were successfully channeled to him through Xu Ziliang's efforts.

Even when he only awakened an E-rank Mechanist, completely disappointing Xu Ziliang's expectations, Xu Ziliang didn't say anything to him.

Instead, he comforted him, telling him not to overthink it and that being an ordinary person was fine.

Qin Yu was a bit hesitant for a moment.

[Nie Yuxi: Qin Yu hasn't replied to any messages in the group for these seven days, has he?]

And just as Qin Yu was hesitating,

Nie Yuxi, who had been as quiet as Qin Yu in the group chat, suddenly popped up at this moment.

Apparently, Nie Yuxi was also like Qin Yu at this time.

She had just returned home from the secret realm and saw the messages in the group chat.

As the only SSS-rank Profession holder on the surface in the entire Jiangzhong City, her message naturally attracted the attention of most of the classmates in the group!

[Shocking! Goddess Nie actually popped up?! I thought Goddess Nie was too lazy to pop up in our group.]

[Class Monitor Nie, I heard that on the day of your awakening ceremony, you were specially recruited by all Four Great Academies simultaneously and ultimately chose Star Ring Academy. Is that true or false?]

[It must be true! Seven days ago, I even saw Star Ring Academy's car picking up Goddess Nie, okay? You don't believe me, do you?]

[Holy moly, the Four Great Academies...]

[Reporting, Goddess Nie, Qin Yu really hasn't said a word in the group for these seven days. I wonder what he's doing.]

[@Qin Yu, come out and say something, Goddess Nie is looking for you...]

[...]

In just over ten seconds, a flurry of fawning messages completely flooded the group chat.

Qin Yu was even @-ed several more times.

Qin Yu didn't respond immediately and continued to remain silent.

Nie Yuxi then immediately sent another message in the group:

[Don't ask me anymore. If Qin Yu attends, I'll attend. If Qin Yu doesn't attend, I won't come.]

After this message was sent, Nie Yuxi's super message completely went silent.

However, the classmates in the group chat and Qin Yu himself were surprised by this message.

"Eh? Why is this little girl dragging me into this?" In his bedroom, Qin Yu looked at the message, feeling a bit bewildered.

The others, however, were all somewhat confused... completely unable to understand why Nie Yuxi would care so much about Qin Yu, an E-rank Mechanist.

Before the class change ceremony, it was understandable.

After all, Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi were the top seed and second seed respectively, and they lived in the same neighborhood.

They could completely understand Nie Yuxi saying that.

But now, Nie Yuxi had awakened an SSS-rank Profession! Barring any accidents, she would definitely grow into a figure standing at the peak of Dragon Country's combat power in the future.

And Qin Yu?

He was just an E-rank Mechanist.

However, although they were extremely puzzled internally, these people obviously didn't dare to ask such questions in the group, and they didn't even dare to @ Nie Yuxi again.

Therefore, after a brief silence, the direction of the messages in the group changed again... [@Qin Yu, say something! You're our Class One's class monitor. Logically speaking, everyone else can be absent from this class reunion, but you can't, okay?]

[Exactly! If the class monitor is absent from the class reunion, then what kind of class reunion is it?]

[Exactly, exactly! @Qin Yu, what's with you not popping up all this time?]

[By the way, who among you still has Qin Yu's super message? Call him and ask.]

[Uh, I used to, but I deleted it after the class change ceremony.]

[Ah, this... I think I did too...]

[...]

In just over ten seconds, Qin Yu's super message was @-ed several times.

Even the long-absent private chat windows popped up several times... [Xu Ziliang: Alright, alright, what are you all making a fuss about?

Whether Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi come or not is their own business. What are you saying all this for?]

It wasn't until Xu Ziliang reprimanded them in the group

that the content in the group became a little more normal.

However, more people started sending him private messages.

For a moment, looking at the messages in the group

and the classmates who started private chatting him,

Qin Yu felt utterly speechless.

However, after glancing at Xu Ziliang's message in the group again,

Qin Yu had already made up his mind.

He didn't reply to those private messages.

Instead, he only replied in the group chat:

"I'll be there tonight."

After replying, Qin Yu directly closed his super message, threw his phone aside, and walked out of his bedroom.

And in the group chat, with Qin Yu's message, the classmates naturally erupted again.

However, Qin Yu's sudden appearance clearly couldn't compare to Nie Yuxi's treatment... [Holy crap, Qin Yu actually popped up? As expected, Goddess Nie has more influence.]

[Goddess Nie just popped up not long ago, and Qin Yu popped up. Before, we called out to him in the group for six or seven days, but he didn't even say a word to us.]

[Tsk tsk, how interesting.]

[...]

Meanwhile, at Nie Yuxi's home, just as Qin Yu had guessed, the reason Nie Yuxi suddenly popped up in the group was because she had already returned home.

However, the only difference was... Nie Yuxi didn't go offline immediately after sending that last message, as others might have thought.

Instead, she held her phone with an expressionless face from beginning to end, paying attention to the messages in the group chat.

It wasn't until she saw the message Qin Yu sent

that a glint of brilliance flashed in her eyes.

Recalling the figure in the secret realm, clad in a mecha, single-handedly fighting against the Level 30 Silver Wolf King,

her suspicion grew stronger:

"He agreed... Like me, he didn't pop up for seven days, and as soon as I returned, he popped up too."

"Is that Lin Yu really Qin Yu?"
