"Um, fishing."
Chu Lingguang said after a moment's thought.
"Why didn't you ask me to come?"
Li Qiushui frowned, clearly skeptical.
"Next time!"
Chu Lingguang quickly changed the subject. "South City has a lot of fun places. I'll take you to see them."
...
「Two days later.」
Chu Lingguang returned to Baiyang County with Tang Baitu, Zhang Lingfeng, and Liu San Gui.
After the Daoist Examination came the Provincial Examination.
Previously, after passing the Daoist Examination with the top score, he had earned the chance to cultivate at an academy. Now, the Great Yuan was following the old regulations and continuing to establish academies throughout the land.
But Chu Lingguang didn't send the three of them there.
Although their rankings weren't high enough to get into an academy, Chu Lingguang could still have gotten them in if he had wanted to.
He didn't do so because he was confident that his teaching ability was superior to that of the academy instructors.
