Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

Under the watchful eyes of Qin Le, Chen Yun, and Chu Xiaonan, Ye Hongli's figure slowly emerged from the morning mist and tree shadows.

When they saw it was her, Chen Yun and Chu Xiaonan were both stunned—they hadn't noticed anyone following them at all, and they certainly didn't expect it to be Ye Hongli.

Qin Le remained calm. Ever since the hunt for the Domain Lord ended last night and everyone dispersed to farm points, Ye Hongli had been following behind them.

He just couldn't understand why Ye Hongli only followed along but didn't show herself.

As for why she followed him... Qin Le knew perfectly well that it must be because of him.

At this moment, Chen Yun couldn't help but ask curiously, "I wanted to ask you this when we gathered earlier—Ye Hongli, why aren't you like you used to be...crazy?"

Everyone at the Heavenly Court Academy knows that Ye Hongli's possessiveness towards Qin Le is almost pathological; otherwise, she wouldn't have been forced to transfer schools by the academy.

But when the main force was assembled, she didn't even take the initiative to contact Qin Le, which was very unusual.

If she had given up, she wouldn't be here now.

When Ye Hongli heard this question, she looked at Chen Yun as if he were a fool.

"I'm just crazy, not stupid," Ye Hongli said with a disdainful tone.

Chu Xiaonan scratched his head: "What do you mean?"

"Oh, I see..." Chen Yun understood instantly.

The reason Ye Hongli dared to be so unscrupulous in the past was because she had a strong backing—her mother was a direct disciple of the Queen Mother of the West and was extremely favored.

With such a powerful backer, she can naturally act recklessly.

But it's different now.

Qin Le was accepted as a personal disciple by the Goddess Nuwa, instantly reversing their status. In terms of prestige, no one in the entire mortal realm could now compare to Qin Le.

This was personally taught by a sage!

Although it is unknown how Qin Le usually interacts with Goddess Nuwa, judging from his rapid comprehension of the Dao of Immortality, Goddess Nuwa must value him highly.

In this situation, if Ye Hongli dares to act as before... even the Queen Mother of the West behind her cannot protect her.

After all, there is no comparison between a quasi-saint and a saint.

"So," Qin Le said calmly, "you've been following us all night, what exactly do you want?"

Ye Hongli is no longer as obsessive as before, which is a good thing for Qin Le. But he doesn't really care whether she changes or not—after all, even if she doesn't change, she can't touch him now.

"It's nothing really." Ye Hongli looked at Qin Le, her eyes still filled with intense aggression: "I just wanted to tell you—I won't give up."

She is never one to give up easily.

Qin Le shrugged indifferently: "Whatever. Follow if you want. But I still have to remind you—if you don't make it into the top 300, you might not get into university."

Ye Hongli laughed: "Are you concerned about my future?"

"Think what you want." Qin Le said no more, turned and boarded the fighter jet: "Let's go, to the next location."

Chen Yun and Chu Xiaonan didn't say much and followed them onto the fighter jet.

As Qin Le's best friend for many years, Chen Yun knew very well that Qin Le genuinely disliked Ye Hongli.

If her madness were only directed at Qin Le personally, perhaps Qin Le wouldn't care too much. But in the past, Ye Hongli indiscriminately attacked all girls who came near Qin Le, and even injured many of them. This was the fundamental reason why Qin Le disliked her.

However, Chen Yun admired Ye Hongli quite a bit, after all, Ye Hongli was the first person Qin Le truly hated.

Ye Hongli watched the three leave without chasing after them.

The intelligent girl naturally understood how much Qin Le hated her—in fact, she might be the only person Qin Le truly hated.

But she doesn't care.

She only wanted to possess Qin Le and hold him firmly in her grasp. She didn't care at all about Qin Le's opinion of her.

After all, who cares if a toy hates them?

Time flies, and it's already noon on the last day of the actual college entrance examination.

Perhaps because they had already received the best reward—listening to a sage preach—the remaining 1,300 students were all very relaxed, almost happily racking up points as the competition drew to a close.

After being teleported out of the secret realm, the Jade Emperor's avatar appeared, offered a few words of encouragement, and then hurriedly departed to attend to official business. The alliance's higher-ups couldn't possibly keep an eye on the college entrance examination indefinitely—since their successful hunt for the domain lord, the higher-ups had been leaving one after another.

After all, the subsequent scoring phase wasn't really anything to watch.

The students boarded their respective college buses to return home. The first thing they did upon arriving at their colleges was to hand in the life-saving bracelets given to them by their teachers. The teachers offered a few words of encouragement to these soon-to-be graduates before letting them go home.

Qin Le pushed open the door and immediately saw his mother, Lin Wanrou, writing and drawing in a small notebook.

However, her hair color... is quite special; its richness of color is probably even more striking than a rainbow.

"Mom, is your hair coloring product... all sorted out?" Qin Le asked casually.

"Not yet, I can't control it at all, I change the color every day." Lin Wanrou pouted, clearly not satisfied.

In her view, if you can't control your hair color, then it's a failure.

"Then you can take your time studying it. I'm going to sleep."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Lin Wanrou waved her hand without even raising her head.

For her, researching elixirs was far more important than her son's college entrance exam results. The fact that she was able to personally attend the first two days of the actual college entrance exam was the ultimate expression of her maternal love.

Qin Le returned to her room, took a shower, and fell asleep instantly upon lying on the bed.

Ever since he was given special training by Mother Nuwa, he seems to have had a long time without a proper night's sleep.

Today, he insisted on getting enough sleep.

On the other hand, when Chen Yun returned home, he found his parents waiting for him in the living room—which surprised him.

Su Yuning looked at her son with a smile: "Son, how about sharing half of the Domain Lord's corpse with your mother?"

Chen Yun looked speechless: "So that's why you two were waiting for me at home."

The whole family are weapon refiners. Who wouldn't be tempted by a top-tier weapon refining material like the corpse of a domain lord?

"Don't worry, I won't take your money for nothing," Chen Anyu said with a smile.

Although he really wanted to hang his spendthrift son up and give him a good beating, the more he thought about the materials Chen Yun wasted on refining the Truth, the angrier he became.

But for the sake of the domain lord's corpse... he had to keep smiling first.

Chen Yun's lips twitched: "This corpse doesn't belong to me alone."

Although Qin Le gave it to him, he knew very well that half of the spoils should belong to Qin Le.

"It's fine, just leave half for Xiao Le, and we can divide the rest among ourselves," Su Yuning said matter-of-factly.

She can take her son's things as she pleases, and even snatch them if necessary, but she would never take advantage of Qin Le, a junior—she still has that bottom line.
