193: Return to the university
Two more days passed.
Xiao Weiqing confirmed that Wei Lan's practice of the Starry Sky Contemplation Method was normal, and he decided to leave.
"Leaving tomorrow?"
Wei Lan's eyes were filled with tender affection, and she was somewhat reluctant to part.
Nan Yu said: "Lan Lan, you also need to return to the ruins to Cultivate; your grandfather sent someone to urge you yesterday."
Xiao Weiqing laughed and said: "I will come back in a while."
"You also need to work hard and strive to enter the Fourth Realm as soon as possible."
Wei Zhiyuan also said: "Indeed, Lan Lan, once you enter the Fourth Realm, you can return to Luo Jiang Academy to find Weiqing."
"Alright."
"Hmm, it's getting late. Xiao Weiqing, let's go." Nan Yu said.
"Go where? You are coming back with me."
Wei Zhiyuan said coldly.
"N-no, Zhiyuan, aren't you going to have a heart-to-heart with Lan Lan tonight?"
"We have already talked for two nights. Tonight, I think I should have a talk with you."
Nan Yu instantly looked like a wilted eggplant.
After the two of them left, Wei Lan closed the door.
She leaped onto Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing hurriedly caught her.
"Carry me upstairs."
...
The next day.
Early morning.
Xiao Weiqing boarded the aircraft to Luo Jiang Academy.
Seeing the aircraft disappear on the horizon, Wei Lan turned around: "Mom, let's return to the Illusory Moon Secret Realm."
...
...
Daxia Chamber of Commerce, Luo Jiang Prefecture Branch.
"Xiao Weiqing, what are you looking for me for?"
"Huang Yitong, you really burn bridges after crossing the river. I at least helped you summon Second Girl. Shouldn't I come to the Daxia Chamber of Commerce to look for you?"
"Exactly, exactly. Tongtong, you and Xiao Weiqing are classmates after all, be more enthusiastic towards him." Second Girl lay on Huang Yitong's shoulder, her eyes fixed tightly on Xiao Weiqing.
Hearing this,
Huang Yitong became even more annoyed.
"Hmph, I paid points for that."
Xiao Weiqing did not refute. He flicked his finger, and two wisps of Qi Fire flew out.
Second Girl opened her mouth and inhaled, drawing them in. She seemed to still want more: "Let's go, Xiao Weiqing, follow me. I am already familiar with this place; I will take you in."
Second Girl jumped down, walking with a cat's gait into the chamber of commerce gate.
Huang Yitong furrowed her brows, extremely angry.
Xiao Weiqing did not follow Second Girl in, instead saying: "Young Miss Huang, sorry to trouble you, I am here to collect divine charm substance."
"The reward from the Exchange Competition?"
"Yes."
Huang Yitong nodded: "Follow me."
The two security guards at the door ignored Second Girl's entrance; clearly, as she said, everyone was familiar with her.
Seeing Huang Yitong, they nodded slightly.
When they looked at Xiao Weiqing, they had scrutinizing gazes.
They walked into the spacious hall.
A beautiful receptionist saw someone enter and immediately greeted with a smile, but after realizing it was Huang Yitong, she stopped.
"Xiao Weiqing, this way."
Huang Yitong led Xiao Weiqing through the VIP passage.
"Hey, why are those two cutting in line?"
"Exactly, who isn't a VIP here? What is wrong with you guys?"
"Do you believe I'll report you?"
Some people in line were dissatisfied with Huang Yitong and Xiao Weiqing's behavior and started to complain.
The manager had to come out to appease them: "Valued guests, those two just now were here for special business, which does not conflict with the business you are here for."
"Bullshit, I am here to buy a Level 2 Innate Skill; what special business takes priority over us?"
"Level 2 is nothing, I am here to buy a Level 3 one."
"You are bluffing, with your cowardly look, Level 3?"
"Who are you talking about? Say that again if you dare!"
"..."
The hall started to become chaotic, and the manager was overwhelmed, until security intervened, and it calmed down.
The two people and one cat arrived at a VIP room.
The room was a bit empty, with only two workstations; a middle-aged man was reading a book.
There was also a young man who seemed to be... playing games?
"Huang Jun, you are playing games again. Do you believe I'll tell Grandpa?"
The young man was much older than Huang Yitong, but clearly afraid of her, and immediately closed the virtual screen.
"Don't, don't... Xiaotong, I am just bored, no one is coming."
"Hmph!"
"Uncle Xu, this is my classmate, Xiao Weiqing. He is here to redeem divine charm substance."
The middle-aged man called Uncle Xu looked up at Xiao Weiqing.
"Huang Jun, you handle it."
Before Huang Jun could speak, he was interrupted by Huang Yitong.
"Uncle Xu, Huang Jun doesn't have sufficient authority; only you can do it."
"Insufficient authority?"
Uncle Xu put down his book, a look of surprise on his face.
Huang Jun could handle divine charm substance business under 100 units, but now Huang Yitong claimed he did not have enough authority.
That meant the business this young man wanted to handle was over 100 units, which for an average person was an astronomical figure.
The youth had a calm Aura, but his youthful features indicated he was at most 20.
Huang Jun had an objection: "Huang Yitong, you don't have to target me like this. I can handle business for 100 units of divine charm substance now. I don't know how many geniuses from Luo Jiang Prefecture I have served."
"Xiao Weiqing, right? Come, please sit. What would you like to handle?"
Huang Jun sat down and opened the holographic screen.
Xiao Weiqing sat down and said:
"I want to withdraw the divine charm substance from my account."
"Hmm. Please wait a moment, come, scan your Wristband."
Xiao Weiqing scanned the Wristband.
"Beep!"
A few seconds later.
"Please authorize!"
Xiao Weiqing was stunned. Didn't he just scan the Wristband? Still need authorization? Facial recognition? But facial recognition had long been phased out.
He immediately asked: "How do I authorize?"
Huang Jun opposite him was stunned, somewhat awkwardly said:
"No, it's not you authorizing, it's me who needs authorization."
"Sorry, I don't have enough authority, please wait a moment."
Then Huang Jun turned to look at the middle-aged man.
"Uncle Xu, please help authorize this."
Huang Yitong snorted on the side.
"Told you that you didn't have enough authority, still trying to show off."
This made Huang Jun feel a bit embarrassed.
Uncle Xu stood up, operated the holographic screen, and then prepared to return to his workstation.
However, out of professional habit, he glanced at Xiao Weiqing's account information.
Not scanning it would have been fine.
But one look.
Uncle Xu suddenly grabbed Huang Jun and pulled him up; the caught-off-guard Huang Jun stumbled.
Putting on his signature smile, he said softly:
"Xiao Weiqing, right?"
"Yes."
"You are the first place winner of this year's Supernatural University Exchange Competition?"
"Yes."
"First place in the Exchange Competition?" Huang Jun muttered.
Although his Awakened Extraordinary Talent was only an ordinary Level 2, as a member of the Huang family, he certainly knew about the Supernatural University Exchange Competition. He had watched Huang Yitong's match a while ago.
However, Huang Yitong was eliminated, so he stopped watching.
He did not expect to see the first place winner of the Exchange Competition here.
Thinking of this, Huang Jun quickly looked at the holographic screen.
"2... 2000 units?"
Huang Jun was shocked internally: "How could there be so much?"
Uncle Xu said: "Xiao Weiqing, the 2000 units of divine charm substance in your account, among them 1000 units are a bit special."
"Special? Is it the Exchange Competition reward or the other 1000 units? It's not something I have to buy with money, right?"
Xiao Weiqing had specifically confirmed that the 1000 units of divine charm substance from the Exchange Competition were solid. Could it be that the Prefect of Jingdu Prefecture swindled him, giving only a purchase quota rather than the actual divine charm substance?
"No, no, no."
"You misunderstood."
"Your Exchange Competition reward is fine."
"I am talking about the other 1000 units that are special."
Xiao Weiqing frowned: "What is the problem?"
