Chapter 24

9:00 AM.

Shuhang and his companion boarded the train heading to Jiangnan University Town. They were lucky; they arrived at J City's Heixiang Station at 8:45, just in time for the train that would depart at 9:00.

The journey was smooth.

When they arrived at Jiangnan University Town, it was already noon.

"Do you want to come over and play for a bit?" Song Shuhang politely asked out of habit. As soon as he asked, he suddenly remembered that Yu Rouzi wasn't one of his close friends but a girl he had only known for a day. The question seemed a bit abrupt.

"Thank you, Senior. If I have time in the future, I will definitely visit you. But now I need to go home quickly and sign the contract with this spirit ghost. Moreover, if I delay any longer, Father might come back, and that wouldn't be good," Yu Rouzi said with a sweet smile.

Song Shuhang smiled and said, "Then, see you later. You can take a taxi directly from the train station exit to the Jiangnan District airport. You'll be fine on your own, right?"

"No problem. And I've already booked my return flight. As long as I get to the airport, I can go back smoothly. By the way, Senior, what's your mailing address? I still need to send you two boxes of herbs!" Yu Rouzi suddenly remembered her initial promise.

She was a girl who kept her word; if she promised something, she would definitely do it.

"Let's skip that for now. We can talk about it when we have time," Song Shuhang said, holding the ice bead that supposedly contained a spirit ghost. He had a vague feeling that the herbs Yu Rouzi mentioned might not be as simple as he initially thought.

"Senior, please don't make me a liar. We on Spirit Butterfly Island always keep our word!" Yu Rouzi said seriously.

"Alright... then." Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Song Shuhang took out his notebook, wrote down his mailing address, and tore it out to give to Yu Rouzi.

Yu Rouzi carefully stored the note and then waved goodbye to Shuhang.

Song Shuhang watched her leave and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, it's over. I guess there won't be any more interaction with this girl, right?" Song Shuhang scratched his head and laughed, "Time to go back!"

In the future, Song Shuhang would definitely be grateful for Yu Rouzi's insistence today!

If it weren't for the two boxes of herbs she insisted on sending, Song Shuhang's life would probably have been like that of an ordinary person: finishing university, finding a simple job, marrying an ordinary wife, having a cute child, and living a plain life.

Because of Yu Rouzi's support today, Song Shuhang's life would undergo a tremendous change.

...

...

Nine Provinces Number One Group.

Northern River's Loose Cultivator: "Yu Rouzi, did you find the Ghost Lamp Temple?"

Spirit Butterfly Island's Yu Rouzi (mobile online): "Yes, I completed the task successfully and am now on my way home."

"I made a mistake earlier and ended up in Luoxin Street in Jiangnan District. But I was lucky to meet a very powerful Senior Song in the group there. He helped me find the Luoxin Street in J City and the Ghost Lamp Temple. With his help, I completed the task!"

"Senior Song in the group? What's his dao name?" Northern River's Loose Cultivator asked. Song is a common surname, and there are several seniors in the group with that surname.

"Ah!" Yu Rouzi sent a tongue-out emoji: "I asked him for his dao name, but he didn't tell me. Later, I forgot to ask. But I know his secular name is Song Shuhang!"

"Song Shuhang, that name sounds familiar..." Northern River's Loose Cultivator thought for a moment but couldn't remember where he had heard it: "Ha ha, anyway, congratulations on completing your task, Yu Rouzi."

After all, he had promised to help but didn't end up doing much, so he felt a bit guilty.

"Thank you, Senior Northern River. You helped me a lot too!" Yu Rouzi smiled: "I'm boarding the plane now, see you later."

On the plane, Yu Rouzi turned off her phone and looked out the window.

The seniors in the group are indeed very nice.

Especially Senior Song, he's a really good person.

A shining good person card, even across thousands of miles, firmly landed on Song Shuhang's head.

...

The next day.

June 4th, Tuesday, scorching hot!

In the large classroom at Jiangnan University Town, fourteen large fans were spinning wildly, but they only brought hot air, making everyone feel even more dizzy.

The teacher, already drenched in sweat, spoke with less energy.

Shuhang sat in the classroom, and in the sweltering summer, he felt unusually clear-headed.

He had attended many classes from childhood to now, but this was the first time he felt so relaxed. He could remember everything the teacher said after hearing it once and could quickly grasp the key points of the knowledge.

He even had the mental capacity to multitask, listening to the lecture while daydreaming about other things.

Next to him, a female classmate who originally sat three seats away moved closer and closer, almost wanting to press her curvaceous body against Song Shuhang. A faint perfume scent kept wafting into his nose.

This wasn't because Song Shuhang's charm had suddenly skyrocketed, but because in the scorching heat, he emitted a cool aura, like a human air conditioner, making people want to stick close to him.

Shuhang secretly looked down at the bead hanging around his neck, the 'Soul Sealing Ice Bead' that Yu Rouzi had given him yesterday. When he wore this bead, it automatically dispelled the heat around him and formed a cool protective layer around him.

Moreover, while wearing this bead, Shuhang felt his mind was clear and his thinking was sharp. Even English words that he used to have to memorize three or four times, he could now remember after seeing and hearing them once.

This... is truly a scholar's magic tool! With this, dominating school would be a piece of cake.

This kind of thing was already slightly beyond the realm of scientific explanation.

He recalled the scene when Yu Rouzi was 'sealing the spirit ghost.'

"Is it really true?" Song Shuhang muttered to himself. This magical ice bead made him believe a little more in the existence of 'cultivation.'

Is there really a spirit ghost sealed in this ice bead?

Is cultivation really not just a legend?

Do flying immortals really exist?

Can moving mountains and overturning seas really be done?

One question after another popped into Shuhang's mind, filling his thoughts.

If all these things exist... then are the people in the Nine Provinces Number One Group really all immortals?

He had never felt such a strong desire to look at the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' and see the chat inside, hoping to find more evidence.

Why isn't the class over yet? Hurry up and end.

Shuhang thought to himself.

...

...

Ding ding ding~

The bell for the break rang.

The students in the classroom excitedly cheered and got up to leave the stifling classroom, heading to the corridor to get some fresh air.

Only the girl next to Shuhang was a bit reluctant to leave—she felt that it was really cool next to Shuhang, even more comfortable than an air conditioner. Unfortunately, she wasn't Shuhang's girlfriend, so she couldn't stick around after class.

Should I try to become Shuhang's girlfriend? She secretly glanced at Shuhang. In class, Shuhang wasn't the type to stand out, but he actually had a manly aura? She was very tempted. In the scorching summer, if she could sleep hugging such a cool man, he would definitely be the best pillow ever.

"Hello, is Song Shuhang here?" At this moment, a loud voice came from the door.

The voice was so loud that it immediately captured the attention of all the students.

Shuhang looked up and saw a man in a suit with a fierce expression but a strangely friendly smile.

I don't know him?

He stood up and waved, "I'm here. Who are you? What do you need?"

"Ha ha, I'm from Fengshou Express. Two large packages for Song Shuhang have been sent by express air freight and delivered overnight. Since they were sent by an important client, they must be signed for by you personally to take effect," the man in the suit said with a chuckle, respectfully handing a business card to Song Shuhang.

Shuhang took the card and looked at it.

Fengshou Express Group Co., Ltd., Sima Jiang!

A very simple card, no position information, just the company name and personal name.

These days, even delivery personnel have their own business cards?

Shuhang put the card in his pocket, puzzled. What kind of package needed to be sent by air freight?

As he thought about it, Yu Rouzi's shy smile suddenly popped into his mind.
