Zhu Ge Ni's words made Ye Lin's expression strange. Bang! The courtyard door was slammed shut by Zhu Ge Ni, and she ran out directly. "Teacher, should I follow and protect her?" Ye Lin asked. "No need. In Qingcheng, no one dares to touch my daughter, Zhu Ge Ni." Zhu Ge Qianxing shook his head with a wry smile. "Ye Lin, don't take it to heart. Ni Ni is not a bad kid, she's just a bit stubborn." "I understand, Teacher." Ye Lin nodded. Considering his age before the transfer, he had lived for almost forty years and naturally wouldn't be angry with a teenage girl. "Sigh, it's my fault. I spoiled her too much. I'll apologize to you on her behalf. Take this." Zhu Ge Qianxing took out a wooden box and handed it to Ye Lin. "Teacher, I can't accept it! I can't accept it!" Ye Lin said while trying to push the wooden box back into Zhu Ge Qianxing's hands. Zhu Ge Qianxing: "..." Ye Lin opened the wooden box and found a mask as thin as a cicada's wing lying inside. Looking at the mask in the box, Ye Lin felt a chill run down his spine. This wasn't just a mask; it was a human face, a lifelike face, as if it had just been peeled off. "T-Teacher, what is this?" Ye Lin stammered. "This is a small item made by my old blacksmith friend. It's called 'Phantom Face'. As long as you wear this mask, you can transform into another person. Your voice and aura will be completely different." Zhu Ge Qianxing pushed his glasses up. "With this, if you want to go all out in the future, you can put on the Phantom Face first. It can reduce the chance of being exposed." Ye Lin's eyes lit up. Although this item didn't increase his combat power, it could be very useful in critical moments for him. "Thank you, Teacher!" Ye Lin suddenly felt that being scolded by Zhu Ge Ni wasn't so bad. If he could get a good thing by being scolded, he would hope that Zhu Ge Ni would scold him more often. The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, Ye Lin woke up. Today was the day of the college entrance examination. For a transfer student, getting into a top university was as important as Pan Jinlian not being able to lose Ximen Qing. Ye Lin put on the clothes prepared by Zhu Ge Qianxing and came to the courtyard with high spirits. Zhu Ge Qianxing had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for him. "Come and eat quickly. After breakfast, Guo Qin will take you to school." Zhu Ge Qianxing said with a smile. At this moment, Zhu Ge Qianxing was wearing a nightgown and stirring a pot of porridge with a spoon. If you didn't know, you wouldn't have thought that this person was the famous Zhu Ge in the Great Xia. "Teacher, aren't you going?" Ye Lin asked as he took a bowl of porridge. "No, I'm not going. Ni Ni is probably still angry with me. Seeing me would make her unhappy and affect her exam state." Zhu Ge Qianxing shook his head with a wry smile. "Teacher! That's not right!" Ye Lin gulped down half a bowl of porridge. "Women, if you comfort them when they're angry, they'll still be angry, but if you don't, they'll be even angrier!" Zhu Ge Qianxing was stunned for a moment. "Then... what do you think?" "Teacher, you should show up, but not too early! The best time is when she thinks you definitely won't show up and is disappointed and angry. Then show up and directly win her over!" Ye Lin said confidently.It seems... there's some truth to it. First create an expectation gap, then give a stronger sense of satisfaction? Guo Qianxing's eyes lit up.
"Good lad!" Ye Lin nodded.
After having his fill, Ye Lin was ready to head to Qingcheng High School. Candidates had to go to the school together, and then be led to the city gate exit by the school leaders.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw Guo Qin half-squatting there waiting for him.
"What are you standing there for? Get on!"
"On? Get on?" Ye Lin's eyes widened.
"Yeah, Mr. Zhuge asked me to take you to school." Guo Qin said.
"By 'take', you mean escort, right? We could take a car instead?" Ye Lin's mouth twitched.
"Forget it. A car can't keep up with me! Just follow me." Guo Qin didn't give Ye Lin a chance to argue and hoisted him onto his back.
But he was already thin and half a head shorter than Ye Lin. Carrying him like this made the scene particularly comical, like a small horse pulling a big cart.
"Let's go! I'll show you the speed of a flower thief!"
Guo Qin carried Ye Lin on his back, turning into a streak of light as he darted through the streets and alleys. His speed was so fast that it even surprised Ye Lin. Even if he activated the forbidden spell Instant Dance, he still couldn't catch up with Guo Qin. Their speeds were simply not in the same league, and Guo Qin was carrying him, making it even more difficult.
While running at full speed, Guo Qin still leisurely introduced the scenery along the way to Ye Lin.
"That house is occupied by a girl who just turned 18. She likes to wear a school uniform and black stockings. Her figure is a bit flat, but her legs are long enough. With all kinds of stockings on, she still looks very good."
"That house is occupied by a slightly plump young woman. She's unmarried, so she's just average. Her looks haven't reached the peak of perfection yet." "..."
