Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: The Bet Between Father and Daughter of Zhuge Ni

"Does the hotel have a parking lot?"

Ye Lin was still trying to figure out what was going on when he repeated the question to himself. His expression immediately turned strange.

"Brother Guo Qin, I think you haven't been reformed yet. You should go back to prison for at least another ten years," Ye Lin said.

"Right, I think so too," Guo Qin nodded in agreement. "Here we are!"

While they were chatting, Guo Qin had already dropped Ye Lin off at the entrance of Qingcheng High School.

It must be said that Guo Qin, despite his lewdness, was indeed fast. It was hard to find a faster means of transportation in the entire Qingcheng.

The only awkward part was when they got off the vehicle. Almost everyone at the school gate turned their heads to look at them.

Others either came by car, motorcycle, or on foot. Ye Lin, who was carried here by someone, was truly unique.

Fortunately, Ye Lin had a thick skin and didn't care much about it.

"Ye Lin! Do your best in the college entrance exam! After you finish the exam, I'll introduce my niece to you! She was young and foolish and went to prison before, but she should be out by now," Guo Qin said enthusiastically.

"Your niece? How old is she this year?" Ye Lin looked at Guo Qin's face. The guy must be over thirty, right?

"Don't worry, she's only 15 years older than you. She's 33 this year. Older is better, she'll be more caring. And she's my own niece, I know her well," Guo Qin said.

"Why did she go to prison?" Ye Lin asked curiously.

"Well, she was short of money and wanted to buy the latest iPhone 13, so she sold her own 13 and got caught. Girls are a bit vain, it's normal. She's been reformed now," Guo Qin waved his hand and said.

Ye Lin: "..."

"Let's not contact each other anymore. If there's anything, don't contact me either."

Ye Lin walked into Qingcheng High School without looking back. Even a gold miner who had been digging for a lifetime couldn't find such pure gold as Guo Qin.

Seeing Ye Lin arrive at the examination site, Principal Gao Zhentian of Qingcheng High School finally let out a sigh of relief.

A 16th-level SSS-ranked curse caster, this was the ace player for the college entrance exam of Qingcheng High School this year. Plus, there was also a 12th-level SSS-ranked fire mage, Zhuge Ni. Qingcheng High School was sure to do well this year!

"Boss!"

As soon as Ji Lingyu saw Ye Lin, he rushed over excitedly.

Since that night when Ye Lin pulled Ji's father back from the brink of death, Ji Lingyu had truly recognized Ye Lin as his boss from the bottom of his heart.

"Boss, I heard from my dad that you were taken in as a disciple by Mr. Zhuge?" Ji Lingyu asked hurriedly.

"Yeah."

Ye Lin nodded. The news that Zhuge Qianxing had taken him as a disciple would soon spread, and there was no need for him to hide it.

"So that's it! I said how could even Kenson be wiped out. It was Mr. Zhuge who did it!" Ji Lingyu nodded in understanding.

Ye Lin smiled faintly but didn't explain anything. His teacher had taken the blame for him this time.

"Don't worry, what I promised you before still stands. After we leave the city, you follow me closely," Ye Lin said.

"Sure, Boss! I'll do everything you say!" Ji Lingyu immediately replied.

"Ji Lingyu, you're the eldest son of the Ji Group. How could you be so short-sighted? To recognize such a person as your boss?" Zhuge Ni's voice rang out at an inopportune moment. She gave Ye Lin and Ji Lingyu a cold glance.

"Hey, hey, hey, Zhuge Ni, you can scold me, but why do you scold your own father? Your father even took my boss as his disciple. Isn't he even more short-sighted?" Ji Lingyu retorted.

"My dad was deceived by this despicable person! Ye Lin is just a fraud!" Zhuge Ni snorted coldly.When Zhuge Ni said this, the expressions of the people around her changed, and their looks at Ye Lin became strange.

Originally, they were still envious of Ye Lin for being taken as a disciple by Zhuge Qianxing. After all, Mr. Zhuge was a powerful astrologer with a great reputation throughout the entire Daxia.

But now, from Zhuge Ni's words, it seemed there was something else going on.

"Zhuge Ni, you'd better have evidence when you speak!" Ji Lingyu frowned.

"I'll find it. When I do, I'll expose your true colors in front of everyone!"

Zhuge Ni glared coldly at Ye Lin and turned to leave. She had never liked Ye Lin anyway. Because of him, she had to be sent to the college entrance examination by Huang Litian, and Zhuge Qianxing didn't even show up. This made her even more annoyed with Ye Lin.

When she found Lingye and confronted Ye Lin face to face, everything would be clear.

"Damn! This woman! How could I have ever liked her and regarded her as my white moonlight? I must have been blind! Thank goodness, Boss, your three bolts of lightning woke me up."

"White moonlight? You just saw her as a pretty face and couldn't have her. So you gave her a divine glow. She became your white moonlight, and you became her servant of light."

Ye Lin shrugged.

"Like how Zhu Yuanzhang never believed that his 'pearl, jade, and white jade soup' was just a bowl of rotten cabbage leaves?"

Ji Lingyu asked, not quite understanding.

"At least the white jade soup really saved Zhu Yuanzhang's life. But you, who never even touched the bowl, are just a clown." Ye Lin spread his hands. "... "Big brother, has anyone ever told you that your words hurt people?" Ji Lingyu clutched his chest and choked up.

"Only a little bit. I'm still very kind. Come on! The bus is here!" Ye Lin looked towards the school gate.

A dozen or so buses were neatly lined up in front of Qingcheng High School. These buses would take them to the city gate.

Principal Gao Zhentian was already standing at the school gate, his expression serious.

"Students! First of all, congratulations to all of you on becoming powerful transmuters. Today is the day of the college entrance examination trial. Whether you can enter a good university will determine your future."

"The rules of the college entrance examination trial are the same as in previous years. The entrance to the trial is set outside the city gate. You need to cross about ten kilometers of uninhabited wilderness to reach the entrance of the college entrance examination trial. If you encounter any danger that you cannot resist during this period, remember! Give up immediately!"

"The college entrance examination is important, but one trial cannot determine your future. Life is always the most important! As long as the mountain is still there, there's no need to worry about having no firewood!"

"Alright, get on the bus!"

Ye Lin and Ji Lingyu got on the same bus. The entire Qingcheng was making way for the college entrance examination trial. The streets of Qingcheng were empty, with not a single car in sight.

Only the sides of the streets were crowded with people, the noise was deafening. Many parents were cheering for their children by the roadside. Some well-proportioned female parents even wore slit cheongsams, symbolizing a victorious start.

However, Ye Lin didn't quite understand this behavior, so he kept observing and studying, trying to understand. The bus soon arrived at the city gate. A huge city gate suddenly appeared before them. The gate was dozens of meters high and wide enough for several buses to pass side by side. It was majestic and solemn, with complex patterns and carvings on it, each stroke and line deep and mysterious.

Under the sunlight, the outline of the city gate was clearly visible in the sky, giving people an indescribable sense of awe.

Many people were seeing the city gate of Qingcheng for the first time and were stunned by this gate that seemed like a city wall.

It was this gate that separated Qingcheng from the wilderness, keeping all the powerful and terrifying monsters outside the city.

The buses from the other high schools also arrived one after another. Ten minutes later, all the graduating students from the high schools in Qingcheng had gathered at the city gate.

The college entrance examination trial was the most important national event for the entire Daxia. Unless someone was out of their mind, no one would choose to be late for the college entrance examination.

They had prepared for so many years, wasn't it all for this moment when the college entrance examination began?

Many candidates' eyes burned with determination, quietly waiting for the moment the city gate opened!

Zhuge Ni looked around, as if waiting for someone. After failing to find them, a trace of disappointment flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Nini, are you looking for your dad?" Zhuge Qianxing appeared silently beside Zhuge Ni.

Seeing Zhuge Qianxing, Zhuge Ni was initially happy, but then immediately pulled a long face.

"Who asked you to come? You can come or not as you please!"

Seeing this, Zhuge Qianxing immediately understood that Zhuge Ni's anger had subsided, but she just couldn't save face.

He couldn't help but sigh. The things Ye Lin taught were indeed useful. It was truly a case of learning until the day you die. That kid clearly understood women better than him. As a teacher, he had to learn more from that kid when he had time.

"My precious daughter is taking the college entrance examination. How could I, as her father, not come? You have to do your best, okay?"

Zhuge Qianxing reached out to pat Zhuge Ni's head, but she dodged it directly.

"Humph! Don't touch me! Go touch your good apprentice!"

"Why are you still angry? You really misunderstood Ye Lin." Zhuge Qianxing said with a bitter smile.

"I didn't! Since you believe in him so much! Let's make a bet then!" "If I rank higher than him in this college entrance examination, you break off all ties with him and kick him out. How about that?" Zhuge Ni raised her long, fair neck, looking like a proud swan.

"Alright, Dad, I'll bet with you. But what if I lose?" Zhuge Qianxing smiled.

"If I lose, I'll never mind your affairs again! Not only will I not take him as my disciple, I won't even care if you marry him!" Zhuge Ni said seriously.

"You, my child... How can you talk to your father like this?" Zhuge Qianxing sighed."You, my child... How dare you speak to your father like that?" Guo Ju Qianxing gave a bitter smile. She was going to marry Ye Lin? How could that be right? Besides, the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty wouldn't allow it either.

"Anyway, it's settled! Just wait and see, he won't win against me!" Guo Ju Ni left with a long stride.

Watching Guo Ju Ni's back, Guo Ju Qianxing opened her mouth but still couldn't bring herself to dampen her daughter's spirits. Instead, she muttered to herself on the spot.

"Nini, do you know what kind of monster you're up against..." ?
