Great Xia Empire, Qingzhou City.
Qingyang High School.
After a day of martial training ended, the exhausted students had just washed away the fatigue and dust, returned to their classrooms, and sat down, intending to relax during the next few cultural classes.
His close friend Guo Zheng suddenly burst in with great excitement, shouting to Xu Lingjun, who was resting in his seat, "Old Xu, do you want a wife?"
Xu Lingjun's expression didn't change. To the shocking words of his leaping friend, he nodded naturally and replied, "Sure, if you have one, just bring her to me."
At this moment, he had just finished martial practice. Even though he had just bathed, the heat inside him turned into a sweat that seeped out of his body, adding a bit of sunshine to Xu Lingjun's handsome face, making even the straightforward and upright Guo Zheng's heart skip a beat.
Damn, is this guy too good-looking?
Amitabha, rather straight than bent, rather straight than bent!
Guo Zheng muttered to himself several times before helplessly saying, "It doesn't need me to bring her. You don't even have to say a word, she came on her own."
"Really?"
"Of course, it's true."
Guo Zheng said seriously, "I have first-hand information. I just saw it in the principal's office. Today, a young beautiful teacher transferred to our school. She was stunningly beautiful. The principal asked her which class she wanted to teach? She directly asked where Xu Lingjun was and said she would teach wherever Xu Lingjun was..."
As he said this, Guo Zheng glanced at Xu Lingjun's face, upright and handsome, and said with resentment, "Damn, turns out being handsome really allows you to do whatever you want. Even the female teacher can't wait to get her hands on you."
"Is that teacher surnamed Wang?"
Xu Lingjun asked.
Guo Zheng was surprised, "How did you know?"
"Ah, did she really come for me?"
Xu Lingjun sighed bitterly, showing a look of melancholy on his face.
"What, do you know her?"
Xu Lingjun sighed, "An old enemy."
"What? Does she want to harm you?"
"In a certain sense, yes."
Xu Lingjun said gloomily, "She wants to marry me, transferring all her family's hundreds of billions of assets to me to inherit, giving me a few children... using money and family affection to bind and corrupt me, turning me into a person who only knows indulgence, living a wasted life."
Guo Zheng: "........."
Damn, if you didn't show off, we'd still be good friends.
Xu Lingjun sighed with melancholy, looking at Guo Zheng's sincere face, all I said is true... why don't you believe it?
Soon, break time ended.
Class started.
When the new teacher gracefully stepped onto the podium, those boys who had been exhausted like dead pigs in the martial practice class before suddenly let out a burst of excited howls.
Her eyes sparkled as she glanced around, full of beauty and charm. Her smooth long hair was tied into a ponytail, paired with clean white sneakers, fitted jeans, and a shirt, adding a touch of pure aura, but with that cool expression, she exuded an alluring charm in the contradictions.
The beauty itself was eye-catching, and combined with her identity as a teacher, it made these young boys sprout unknown fantasies and desires in their hearts.
"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Qingya. Due to your culture teacher going back home to get married, I will be responsible for your cultural courses during this period."
She said calmly.
Her beautiful eyes, however, never left the surroundings of Xu Lingjun sitting at the back.
Xu Lingjun sighed gloomily, as expected, she came to corrupt me.
After school.
Xu Lingjun declined his friend's invitation to explore Wang Qingya's background and walked home alone with his backpack.
He had just walked out the school gate.
He stopped in his tracks, looking at Wang Qingya waiting at the gate.
Still in that youthful attire... she stood there quietly, with a straight posture, making her chest appear broader and her legs longer.
She seemed to have been standing for a while.
Seeing Xu Lingjun, she pursed her lips and said, "I'm waiting for you."
"Yeah, I can see that, Teacher Wang, do you need something from me?"
"What did you call me?"
Wang Qingya's delicate brows furrowed and the temperature around Xu Lingjun suddenly dropped a few degrees, he clearly felt a biting cold killing intent.
Xu Lingjun hesitated for a moment and called, "Sister Yaya."
Wang Qingya's icy expression slightly softened, turning into a gentle smile, she said softly, "I came here specifically for you."
Xu Lingjun smiled bitterly, "Sister Yaya, I've already said I don't want to go back with you..."
Wang Qingya's delicate brows furrowed, saying, "This was arranged for you by your parents on their deathbed. Their last wish was for us to take good care of you. Why won't you listen?"
Xu Lingjun awkwardly smiled, saying, "Actually, I'm doing quite well living alone, Sister Yaya, you don't have to trouble yourself."
Indeed, standing before Xu Lingjun was the girl a few years older than him...
Strictly speaking, she is his fiancée.
Wang Qingya, truly a daughter of the heavens.
Young and already a top student at the Four Great Academies, exceptionally talented, and extraordinarily wealthy, truly a rich, beautiful girl in every sense. Apart from her common name, which is her father's fault and not hers, she had no flaws.
But Xu Lingjun truly didn't expect the Wang Family to be so faithful.
The two families had been friends for generations; one became prosperous and wealthy, with billions in fortune, while the other faded away, leaving only a young son struggling.
Yet the Wang Family not only didn't break the engagement but was also determined to take care of Xu Lingjun for life…
They even planned to hand over their billion-dollar empire for him to inherit after the two got married.
And Wang Qingya's father, Wang Tiancheng, was very careful to protect Xu Lingjun's self-esteem, saying he would never make him a live-in son-in-law, he wouldn't have to change his surname, and their children would follow his surname too. The only requirement was that in case of a difficult birth, the mother's life should be prioritized.
In some respects, he was flawless, like a non-blood-related father.
If all wealthy families in ancient times had this character, how many fewer tragic love stories would there be in tales?
"Now that it's come to this, haven't you given up yet?"
Wang Qingya stepped forward and said, "Your cultivation should have been stuck at Body Tempering Seventh Rank for a long time, right? This level of cultivation is already considered top-notch for your age in school, enough for you to find a suitable government position after the Dragon Gate Examination, undergo training and step into a peaceful life without worries about food and clothing... But if you want to enter the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, you're still quite far off."
And without entering the Four Great Martial Mansions, it's ultimately hopeless to achieve anything in Martial Arts.
Xu Lingjun understood the implication in Wang Qingya's words. She wasn't belittling him, just plainly telling him a fact, that pursuing the path of Martial Tao was impractical for him.
Today's Blue Star is not the same as in the past.
Cultivation is no longer a one-person endeavor, lacking in resources, companions, methods, or land.
Without money, you can't buy Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; without connections, you can't obtain superior cultivation techniques; without status, you can't invite renowned mentors.
Just look at those influential figures at Qingyang High School, which one of them isn't wealthy? Which one doesn't have ancestral roots?
They were raised on Primordial Spirit Liquid, drank Bone Strengthening Agents, bathed in Spirit Medicine Baths, possessing higher talent, more money, and more effort than you…
No matter how hard a poor child works, can a few years of effort surpass the accumulation of several generations?
"Sister Yaya, you're right about everything, but I still want to try. The Dragon Gate Examination is close at hand, and I don't want to give up at this moment."
Xu Lingjun knew that Wang Qingya was indeed considering his well-being, and she was right.
But having lived two lifetimes, now in this extraordinary world.
With the Spiritual Energy Revival, Blue Star ascended to the Extraordinary Cosmos, where each planet represented a unique culture and race, with a multitude of races standing together…
As an outsider, Blue Star suddenly intruded into this cosmos, naturally facing many civilizations' ambushes and assaults.
Fortunately, the martial culture was thriving.
Xu Lingjun had personally witnessed martial artists flying through the sky, eliminating a five or six-meter-high giant beast with a single palm strike.
He'd also seen immensely powerful warriors lifting crumbling buildings to save the residents inside.
The power was so close to him.
Especially in recent days, he had just awakened his golden finger.
Xu Lingjun glanced at the bottom right corner of his view.
[Source Value: 4782 points!]
Without a doubt, this was the gift he received from traversing two worlds, commonly known as a golden finger.
If I don't even try and just go into business to inherit the billion-dollar empire, I wouldn't be able to die in peace.
Wang Qingya sighed softly and said, "I knew you wouldn't give up so easily. You want to try... no problem, I've already discussed it with my father. If you can successfully get into the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, then the Wang family will invest all their funds in you, helping you advance faster on the martial artist path. The Wang family's business is growing larger, and they need a warrior to support the family's future, but if that doesn't happen..."
Xu Lingjun said, "If it doesn't happen, I'll go back to the Wang Family with you, inherit the billion-dollar empire, and honestly have children with you."
Sister Yaya is clearly worried that I'll be devastated if I fail the Dragon Gate Examination, so she specially came to support me as a teacher, right?
Her studies are probably at a critical stage as well.
Xu Lingjun was deeply moved; Sister Yaya seems cold, but she truly cares about me…
And even Old Wang retreated a step, with even lower demands.
They treat me so well.
Xu Lingjun felt that if he didn't appreciate this, he should really be trampled to death by ten thousand horses.
Wang Qingya's eyes briefly showed a shy expression... then returned to normal...
She lightly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go pack my luggage and move to your place tomorrow night."
"Sister Yaya, you probably don't love me, right?"
Xu Lingjun looked at Wang Qingya's beautiful and delicate face and asked seriously, "Marrying me, won't you feel repulsed?"
Wang Qingya thought for a moment, a sudden fear flashed in her eyes.
She softly asked, "Have you experienced life and death?"
Before Xu Lingjun could answer, she directly said, "I have... When Uncle Sanduo held me in his arms, yet was burned to death by flames himself, at that time I thought, for Uncle Sanduo who treated me so well, even if it takes my whole life, I will ensure his son lives peacefully and happily. I know we share a sibling-like bond, but it's okay. When we get married, I can help you keep a few concubines you like secretly... Just keep it from Dad."
Xu Lingjun suddenly felt that failing the exam wasn't so terrifying after all.
