Chapter 289 Yuan Jingjing's Apology
Two hours later.
As Lin Yuechan listened to the steady and powerful heartbeat, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
These two hours seemed to release all the fatigue, stress, and longing she had accumulated since returning from the abyss.
"While I was away, you... didn't seem to have a moment's rest."
Lin Yuechan's voice had a slightly lazy, hoarse quality.
Lin Qiye grasped her mischievous little hand and asked in a low voice, "How's the situation at the Abyss? Also, what's going on with the acting vice principal?"
"This abyssal disturbance is far more serious than we anticipated. The principal and vice-principal are currently tied up on the front lines and cannot return for the time being. The school cannot be left without a leader, so I have been temporarily appointed as the acting vice-principal to handle all school affairs."
Her tone was calm, as if she were talking about something trivial, but Lin Qiye could hear the danger and gravity in it.
"About the mole..." Lin Qiye pressed.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Yuechan's phoenix eyes: "Our operation this time showed signs of intelligence leakage, which caused us considerable losses."
"Therefore, we cannot let go of anyone who is a suspect. Yuan Jingjing... her family business has unclear connections with some groups that are being secretly investigated by the court. And her act of blocking your cultivation resources today, in terms of motive, can be interpreted as an attempt to conduct a very suspicious test on our school's top talents before the Ten Schools Joint Examination."
Lin Qiye frowned as well.
He had previously thought that Yuan Jingjing's situation was simply a conflict of interest, but he never expected that it was involved in such a complex background.
"So, you left her with Si Qingwan to spy on her?"
"Yes," Lin Yuechan nodded.
After saying that, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist again, as if she wanted to make up for all the hugs she had missed these past few days.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about these things." Her voice softened again, carrying a hint of barely perceptible doting. "You only have one task."
"Ten-school joint examination"
Just then, her terminal vibrated again.
Lin Yuechan reluctantly sat up from Lin Qiye's embrace and picked up the terminal she had been ignoring.
The screen lit up, displaying several unread messages from Si Qingwan.
Upon seeing the last message, a barely perceptible smile flashed in Lin Yuechan's cold phoenix eyes, before she quickly regained her usual aloofness.
She coughed lightly to hide the smile on her lips, stood up, and deftly straightened her combat uniform.
"You should cultivate diligently here," her voice regained the authority and composure of the acting vice principal, "I'm going back now."
Lin Qiye nodded without asking any further questions.
He watched Lin Yuechan walk towards the door, her heroic figure just as it had been when they first met. But now, beneath that coldness, there was a layer of tenderness that only he could touch.
Just as the heavy alloy door slid open with a hiss, the terminal on Lin Yuechan's wrist lit up again. This time, it wasn't a message, but a video call request.
The screen popped up instantly, and Si Qingwan's charming face, now filled with dissatisfaction and anger, appeared on the screen.
Before Lin Yuechan could speak, Si Qingwan's voice, suppressed with anger and gritted teeth, came from the terminal:
"Lin Yuechan, don't go too far! It's been two hours already!"
Lin Yuechan looked at Si Qingwan's furious expression on the screen, a smug smile curving her red lips, her cold phoenix eyes filled with the joy of a victor.
"Here we go!"
"I'll go and have a good talk with her right away..."
Before she could finish speaking, the alloy door slowly closed behind her, once again separating the two worlds.
……
Time flew by in this tedious yet highly efficient training.
A night passes in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the entire Galaxy Martial Arts University was shrouded in a tense yet exciting atmosphere.
The upcoming joint entrance examination for ten schools is both a source of pressure and an unprecedented opportunity.
As the vice-captain, Ling Xiaoqing diligently took on all the captain's duties.
Explaining the task briefing, coordinating the temporary organization of a hundred-person team... everything was handled in an orderly manner.
Speaking of this, Ling Xiaoqing was speechless.
Lin Qiye really did nothing and left everything to her.
What talk of cultivation?
How much cultivation can you possibly achieve in just a few days?
Although Ling Xiaoqing verbally complained like that, she secretly believed it a little.
This guy is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people; he might actually come up with something.
Tang Dongshan, Chen Xuanyi, Xiao Ying, and the others were also making final preparations, adjusting themselves to their peak condition.
Lin Qiye, the absolute core of the team and its nominal captain, seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth and has never appeared in public again.
Aside from a few people, no one knew that he was alone in the training room, undergoing secluded cultivation.
……
The next morning, Lin Qiye thrust his gun out.
Take a deep breath!
That familiar, soul-tearing pain returned, then transformed into a torrent of pure energy that flowed into his extraordinary brain.
He quickly grabbed a bottle of Star Energy Essence and drank it down. Then, he skillfully tore open the seal and continuously consumed ten boxes of nutritional paste!
The terrifying hunger was barely suppressed.
Although his sixfold martial will is still stuck at LV6, the bottleneck of the peak of the Condensation Realm, his gains are real and tangible.
[Genetic Potential: 100% (Basic) + 25% (Exceptional Brain)]
Lin Qiye opened the attributes and took a look.
Physical fitness: 1200+
[Spirit: 1400+]
[Psionic Power: 1400+]
Our strength has once again achieved a leap forward!
Lin Qiye thought for a moment; there were less than three hours left before the ten-school joint exam.
After saying goodbye to Lin Yuechan, Si Qingwan, Bai Muxi, and Chu Fengling, it's time to set off!
At that moment, the training room door reopened!
Leading the way were Lin Yuechan and Si Qingwan, both looking perfectly normal, but Yuan Jingjing, who followed behind them, looked somewhat unnatural.
What's even more eye-catching is the box of Star Energy Essence that Yuan Jingjing is carrying.
The three of them entered the training room, and their eyes all fell on Lin Qiye.
It's only been a few hours, but why does Lin Qiye's aura seem even more solid than before?
Yuan Jingjing was the most shocked, but she concealed it well.
She took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gave Lin Qiye a slightly stiff smile.
"Lin Qiye," she coughed and placed the box on the ground, "what happened before was due to my lack of consideration, causing you trouble. Here is a box of Star Energy Essence; I hope it can make up for your loss."
Then she added, "Oh, right, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you... I wonder if it would be possible to ask your wife to be a spokesperson for the 'Moon Goddess Glazed Body' cultivation technique?"
Yuan Jingjing's heart was bleeding when she said those words!
That damned Lin Yuechan! That damned Si Qingwan!
These two women, working together and using both soft and hard tactics, managed to extract a box of Star Energy Essence and 2000 million from her!
I will definitely get my revenge later!
