Zhou Qianlin didn't call Tang Mi today. Perhaps it was because she still had some expectations in her heart.
After getting off Sky Mountain, she subconsciously looked in that familiar direction.
The bicycle was already parked there, and there was a familiar figure.
Gray trousers, a light green shirt, and a gray coat.
He was clean and fresh, and he had a faint smile on his face.
Zhou Qianlin's pretty face instantly lit up with a charming smile. She quickened her pace and walked towards him.
Lan Jue pushed the bicycle forward. Neither of them spoke. She sat on the back seat, and he pedaled towards the direction of the academy.
The bicycle moved steadily on the road. Lan Jue's left hand let go of the handlebars. She turned around and handed something to Zhou Qianlin.
Zhou Qianlin raised her hand to take it. It was a silver-white bracelet. There weren't any other decorations. The silver-white metal was hollowed out into a small ball. Inside it was the Neptune Pearl.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. This time, she didn't reject it. She put it on her wrist, and the smile on her pretty face deepened.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned lightly on his back.
…
Tan Lingyun was very frustrated these few days!
Yes, the Savage Goddess wasn't in a good mood.
Even though she had become the center of attention in the entire academy, this was definitely not what she wanted.
The feeling of being the center of attention wasn't good at all, especially when it wasn't because of her own strength.
That guy, where was he?
Tan Lingyun felt like she was a thief these few days. Every day, she had to deal with the respectful gazes of other teachers and students. At the same time.
She was also constantly observing the male teachers.
She hoped that she could find that "Lei Feng" among them.
But after a few days.
She didn't find anything.
Starting from the Mecha Combat Department, she had carefully observed almost every male teacher.
But contrary to her wishes, there was no sign at all.
That person, it was as if he had disappeared into thin air.
Who was he?
Who was he?
Tan Lingyun sat in her office, her hands in her hair. She was conflicted.
For so many years, she had an innate resistance towards men. In her eyes, he was not a man.
Almost all men were bad and useless.
However, on that day, when she felt that a man was so powerful that she felt like a helpless little bird, that feeling greatly stimulated her heart.
Even she herself didn't know what kind of position that person held in her heart. The only thing she could be sure of was that she hoped to find that person. Find him!
"Mr.Tan, it's almost time for your class, right?" Another teacher at the next table reminded her in a low voice.
Tan Lingyun suddenly raised his head.
The teacher was startled, and he combed his hair.
After thanking him, he stood up and walked towards the classroom.
…
In the same office, Lan Jue leaned against the back of the chair and dozed off with her eyes closed.
Coming back from Lir was tiring, but it wasn't because he'd stayed up all night. It was because of the Bookworm's new sim pod.
He knew exactly what this simulation pod meant. Even though it wasn't fully developed yet, just the fact that it could be used by a god-ranked pilot was enough to prove its immense value.
He wondered how the Keeper and the Bookworm were doing, and how they were doing.
They shouldn't be too bad.
…
Skyfire Avenue. Skyfire Library.
"Eh?
So it works.
Interesting! Interesting! "The Bookworm waved his arms and legs in excitement.
In front of the Keeper was a large laboratory bench. It was covered with all sorts of research equipment.
On top of one of them was the Tear of Neptune that Lan Jue had brought back.
On the opposite side of the bench was the monster's energy core.
At this moment, a gentle blue halo shot out from the Tear of the Sea God and landed on the monster's energy core.
The turbid Monster Energy Core actually began to change in such a strange manner.
The turbidity began to fade, and the core's color began to change. The purplish red became clear, and the core was now a dark green.
This process was very slow. It had been more than ten hours since last night.
The Keeper and Bookworm hadn't slept the entire time. They watched with rapt attention.
For mad researchers like them, this amount of time was nothing at all.
The Keeper's method of persuading the Bookworm was simple. He explained the origin of the purple energy core, and its possible uses.
The Bookworm's interest was immediately piqued.
The Keeper nodded. "It looks like it'll work.
Jewelry Master, you're a smart one. You didn't need me to remind you.
The Tear of Neptune was of little value before, but if it can help this core become an s-ranked power gem, then it won't be so. "
"So you're hoping for a mass production of this energy core?" The Bookworm asked.
"Bullshit, bullshit," the Keeper retorted.
"The appearance of this thing means destruction. Who knows how many lives have been sacrificed to create such an energy crystal."
"It'll take a while to purify it," the Bookworm said.
"It's time for us to talk about ourselves.
You old bastard, you lied to me. You tricked me into coming back here. Tell me what to do! "
The Keeper sighed. "How can you be so sure I'm lying?"
The Bookworm was taken aback. "Didn't you say so yourself?"
The Keeper's voice was placid. "That's because I didn't want to upset the kid.
Three months, that's all I have.
Many people thought that my frail and frail appearance was an act. I had also publicly declared that I would be the person who lived the longest in this world.
But as you know, I'm the oldest of the Paragons.
I called you back just in case I die. With you around, I can be at ease. "
The Bookworm stared at him. "You're really going to die?"
"Shouldn't you be happy?" the Keeper asked.
"Bullshit, happy my ass.
No one to hate, no one to curse. What's there to be happy about?! "
The Bookworm roared. But deep in his eyes, a deep sorrow began to appear.
The Keeper smiled. "Who would want to die if they didn't have to?
You don't want to, and I don't want to.
My death will affect all of Skyfire Avenue, and even the Eastern Alliance. It's not just me. Everyone on Skyfire Avenue, with the exception of the Wine Master, who's still young. The Old Prodigy and I are nearing the end of our days.
The old fogeys of the Western Alliance and the Northern Alliance are aware of this.
That's why the Western Alliance is sending people. Isn't it to test us?
Not long ago I went to the Pontiff's Citadel. One, I wanted to get justice for the Jewelry Master. The other, I wanted to tell them I'm not dead.
That old bastard, the Pontiff, must have noticed something. He'll probably come in person for the visit from the Western Alliance. "
The Bookworm waved a hand in exasperation. "Don't talk to me like that. I'm no longer a part of Skyfire Avenue!"
The Keeper laughed. "No, you are.
You've always been.
Skyfire Avenue has never removed you. You've always been a part of it.
Moreover, although I should be dying soon, who said that I will definitely die? "At this point, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his aged face.
The Bookworm paused. "You mean …"
The Keeper pointed to the Core. "It's not just me. You're not young either. Even if you live a few days longer than me, it won't be that long. If that's the case, we'll have to fight.
If both of us can live longer, and even if the old faker can live longer, we will be able to live longer.
Heh heh!
Let's give those bastards who want us dead a big surprise! "
The Bookworm's eyes lit up. "So long as you don't die, you old bastard, I won't bother you for now.
If you die, I'll whip your corpse! "
The Keeper chuckled. "You think I'm afraid of you?
By the way, the knot in your heart has been untied.
I wasn't wrong, you weren't wrong either.
We were both right.
But don't tell me you don't want to see it for yourself?
Over the years, I've found some methods. Some bottlenecks are not necessarily unbreakable.
Your biggest problem, isn't it, is your body failing?
What if we could solve that problem?
Heh heh heh heh! "
The Bookworm stared blankly at the Keeper, his eyes changing. "You crazy old man, you …"
The Keeper clapped him on the shoulder. "Crazy is crazy. At our age, it'll be too late if we don't go crazy.
As the saying goes, if you don't go crazy, you can't live. Let me take you to the skies! "
…
Thump! Thump! A soft knocking sound roused Lan Jue from her slumber.
"Oh!
Director Wu, why are you here? "Lan Jue sat up in surprise. She looked at Wu Chun-yi, who stood at her desk.
Wu Chun-yi smiled. "Miss Lan, sleeping on the job isn't a good habit.
You have class tomorrow, don't forget. "
Lan Jue hurriedly nodded. "Don't worry, I've already prepared."
Wu Chun-yi said, "Let's go to the hallway and have a chat." He turned and walked out.
Lan Jue followed Wu Chun-yi out of the office.
"Miss Lan, you've been here for a while now." Wu Chun-yi said softly.
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered what Zhou Qianlin had told her last night. Ever since she'd arrived at National Eastern University, it could be said that she'd been slacking off for three days and drying nets for two days. She hadn't even attended classes.
"Yes, it's been a while."

The title of this chapter came from a picture I saw in my friend's circle. It was a Bentley logo. That's what it meant. I laughed myself to death. That's why I used it as the title.
It's the end of the month. I sincerely ask for your monthly votes and recommendation votes.
