The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

As he spoke, Wu You smiled and took out a work badge from the right pocket of his trench coat.

The blue lanyard, the white card, and the transparent plastic film pressed at the corners made it look quite ordinary.

Then he waved it in front of Hua Linlin.

Hua Linlin looked closely and saw a line of text written on it:

Honorary Chairman of the First Wuhan University Entrance Examination in Lanhe City.

"Oh, the honorary chairman?"

She glanced subconsciously at the gold badge on Wu You's chest.

"Is this all you do? You've got...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Yi interrupted her, saying, "Hey, hey, you can't talk like that."

"Linlin can't be discriminated against based on her job title."

Ye Yi's voice came from beside the desk.

Hua Linlin turned her head and saw Ye Yi also slightly swinging a name tag with a strap in his right hand. The name tag spun around between his fingers, and the strap drew a blue arc in the air.

The name tag looked exactly like the one she had seen in Wu You's hand earlier, except for the words on it.

She stared intently—it was the chairman in charge of the first Wuhan University entrance examination in Lanhe City.

Hua Linlin was stunned: "Director Ye, how come you're here too..."

Then she first glanced at the employee badge in Ye Yi's hand, and then at the small golden torch on Ye Yi's chest.

That's right, the silver torch on Ye Yi's chest has turned into a golden torch.

At this time, Ye Yi had also broken through and become a high-level ability user and a Golden Emblem Torchbearer!

This time, Hua Linlin finally understood how much importance the higher authorities attached to the martial arts college entrance examination.

Although she didn't know exactly how strong Wu You was, who could save Lanhe, she knew the meaning of the golden emblem.

That badge is only worn by torchbearers with strength of level seven or above!

And yet, a simple martial arts college entrance examination that doesn't even involve third-order or higher power is managed by two Golden Emblem Torchbearers!

Seeing Hua Linlin's blank expression, Ye Yi smiled and said, "We can't keep these old folks stuck in the office all the time."

"If this continues, we'll soon become rats in the gutter."

When he said "squirrel," his pronunciation had a slight Lanhe dialect flavor, which sounded somewhat comical.

Wu You couldn't help but smile, and the starlight in his silver eyes seemed to freeze for a moment.

Then Ye Yi picked up a work badge with the same format but different content from the one on her desk and casually tossed it to Hua Linlin.

The name tag tumbled twice in the air, the blue strap twisted like a snake, and then flew steadily toward Hua Linlin.

"Linlin, you can't escape either."

Upon hearing Ye Yi's words, Hua Linlin immediately snapped out of her daze and reached out to take the employee badge from the air.

She lowered her head and looked at the words on her name tag: Invigilator of the First Wuhan University Entrance Examination in Lanhe City.

She looked up at Ye Yi, her expression somewhat confused: "Ah, Director Ye, am I supposed to proctor the exam?"

"But I don't really understand those martial arts techniques either..."

Her understanding of martial arts was limited to that new version of radio calisthenics, which she had only learned from a video a few days ago, and she hadn't even mastered the first section yet.

Let her proctor the exams for the students who are about to take the Wuhan University entrance exam?

Ye Yi shook her head: "Leave professional matters to professionals."

"The proctors are professional martial artists."

"You are a proctor."

"His job is just to keep an eye on the proctors."

Upon hearing this, Hua Linlin understood that this so-called proctoring committee member was actually the proctor of the proctors.

However, Hua Linlin could also imagine how leisurely that position must be.

In this important event, which is mainly handled by the Bureau of Investigation and even attended by the director of the Bureau, do the proctors really need her supervision?

I'm afraid there won't even be enough time to show it off, right?

Such management positions typically offer substantial contribution points as rewards.

It's fair to say that this is a completely passive task that allows you to earn contribution points while sitting down.

She glanced at Ye Yi, then at Wu You sitting to the side, and understood.

If it weren't for Wu You, how could this position have fallen into her lap so easily?

After all, she hadn't even registered; she was simply hit by a work badge that fell from the sky without her knowledge.

She paused for a moment, then said, "Director Ye, I..."

Looking at her expression, Ye Yi immediately understood what she was thinking.

He waved his hand: "Don't rush to refuse. This employee badge isn't given to you casually. Besides this task, you have another task."

Hua Linlin was taken aback: "What mission?"

Ye Yi's expression turned very serious:

"Then of course we'll make sure to treat them well, especially since they've come all this way."

"From Jiuli—"

"Distinguished guest."

Looking at the serious-looking Ye Yi, Hua Linlin's eyes filled with doubt: "Jiuli? A distinguished guest?"

Then, Ye Yi's expression suddenly changed, and he raised an eyebrow at Wu You with a hint of mockery in his eyes:

"Isn't it right in front of you?"

"Right, our honorary chairman?"

Wu You also raised his white eyebrows, the same action as Ye Yi.

From the moment he saw that employee badge, he knew Ye Yi's intention.

However, he doesn't reject it.

When the college entrance examination for martial arts officially begins, having familiar faces standing nearby will at least allow you to chat and talk, which is better than staring blankly at a group of strangers.

Moreover, seeing his old friends was one of the purposes of Wu You's return to Lanhe this time.

Does Hua Linlin count?

of course.

Wu You can still clearly remember the scene when Hua Linlin caught up with him, carrying a sword and panting.

At that time, he needed a sword.

"Honorary Chairman...?"

Hua Linlin was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.

Her gaze shifted from Ye Yi's face to Wu You's.

Before me stands the Honorary Chairman.

At this point, she understood perfectly well:

Who else could this so-called distinguished guest be but the person standing before us?

A faint, unnatural blush crossed her face. She turned her head slightly and spoke in a softer voice than usual: "Okay, alright, Director Ye, I accept the mission."

Seeing this, a smile flashed in Wu You's eyes.

It seems that not only does she still like to stare at him, but she also hasn't changed her habit of secretly watching him.

. . .

After Hua Linlin left, the office door closed gently behind her, and the room became quiet.

Wu You nodded to Ye Yi, who was sitting next to the desk: "Director Ye, thank you."

Ye Yi simply shook her head: "Just don't blame me for making these arrangements on my own."

"How could that be?"

Then, Ye Yi walked over and plopped down on the sofa next to Wu You:

"What specific rank are you at now?"

His voice lowered slightly: "Why do I feel that your aura is even stronger than Lao Hu's..."

Wu You didn't hide anything: "Ninth rank."

Ye Yi was stunned.

His eyes widened for a moment, then returned to normal.

Then, realizing what was happening, he patted Wu You's shoulder hard:

"I knew it!"

"No wonder he passed Jiuli's test in just two days!"

"Well done!"

Wu You smiled, his gaze shifting from Ye Yi's face to his chest.

The golden badge gleamed in the sunlight.

He then shifted his gaze to Ye Yi's sides, looking at the temples interspersed with a few gray hairs.

He clearly remembered that the place had been dark and shiny before.

The smile on Wu You's lips vanished, and he remained silent for a moment.

"Congratulations, Director Ye."

"besides--"

"Thanks for your hard work."
