Chapter 263 Another Scene and Studying Hard
The car traveled through the streets of Haihe City.
Little Lingxi pressed her face against the car window, staring wide-eyed at the towering buildings outside.
"Master, Master, that house is so tall!"
"Master, Master, that car is so long!"
"Master, Master, what is that?"
Her little mouth never stopped, pointing at this and that, she was incredibly excited.
The old Taoist priest was also looking out the window.
He had lived for over eighty years, and this was the first time he had ever been to such a big city.
Those skyscrapers, those bustling cars, those people coming and going...
Everything felt new and exciting to him.
But he didn't shout and yell like Xiao Lingxi.
He simply watched quietly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Li Jun saw his master's expression in the rearview mirror and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
My master spent his entire life guarding the small hill where Qingfeng Temple is located.
Now I finally have the chance to come out and see it.
……
The rain gradually subsided, and a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon.
After the car crossed an overpass, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
A large complex of buildings came into view: gray-blue teaching buildings, red dormitory buildings, and the iconic library.
The car rounded a bend, and a majestic school gate appeared ahead.
Jin Hao slowed down and drove slowly toward the school gate.
Several people were standing at the school gate.
The leader was an elderly man with gray hair, wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit, standing ramrod straight.
Behind him followed several middle-aged men dressed formally, some wearing glasses and others carrying briefcases.
It was the principal and several school leaders.
Jin Hao parked the car at the entrance and rolled down the window.
The principal hurriedly came forward, his gaze passing over Jin Hao and looking at Li Jun in the passenger seat.
That handsome face was exactly the same as that of an ordinary student on campus a few months ago.
But the principal knew that the young man in front of him was no longer the student he could simply pat on the shoulder and tell to "study hard".
He is the Night's Watch's chief advisor.
He was the one who single-handedly annihilated 100,000 gods.
He is Master Li, whose presence makes the entire extraordinary world of Blue Star tremble.
The principal took a deep breath and put on a respectful yet friendly smile.
"Master Li, welcome back to the Haihe River."
Li Jun pushed open the car door and got out.
He stood in front of the school gate, looking up at the familiar gatehouse.
The four large characters "Haihe University" on the gate tower gleamed faintly in the sunlight after the rain.
Looking at the school gate, Li Jun suddenly felt a surge of indescribable emotions.
A few months ago, he was just an ordinary student here.
Every day, I attend classes, eat meals, and spend time in the library, living the same life as countless other college students.
Now that I've returned, everything is completely different.
Li Jun withdrew his gaze, looked at the principal, and nodded slightly.
"Principal, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
The principal quickly waved his hand: "Not long, not long."
He stepped aside and gestured for him to enter.
"Taoist priest, please come in."
Li Jun nodded, then turned around and opened the back door of the car.
The old Taoist priest led Xiao Lingxi by the hand and got out of the carriage.
Little Lingxi looked up at the gatehouse, her big golden eyes full of curiosity.
"Master, is this your school?"
Li Jun nodded.
"Um."
"Wow, it's huge!"
Xiao Lingxi sighed.
The principal was slightly taken aback when he saw Xiao Lingxi.
Those golden eyes were truly extraordinary.
But he quickly looked away and a smile returned to his face.
"Master, who is this...?"
"My apprentice."
Li Jun spoke of it casually.
The principal was startled.
Master Li's disciple.
Wouldn't that mean...?
He dared not think any further and quickly gestured for the old Taoist priest and Xiao Lingxi to follow.
"Master Zhang, young friend, please come in."
The old Taoist priest nodded with a smile, took Xiao Lingxi's hand, and followed Li Jun into the school gate.
The principal and several school leaders accompanied him, introducing the school's recent developments along the way.
The newly built training room, the expanded library, and the soon-to-be-completed magic hall...
Li Jun listened, nodding from time to time.
Students frequently passed by on the tree-lined path.
Someone recognized Li Jun.
"Holy crap! Isn't that Master Li?!"
"Which Master Li?"
"Who else could it be? You wasted your cultivation lessons?! It's the Night Watch's chief advisor! Master Li, who single-handedly conquers everyone's lives!"
"Really?!"
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
More and more students gathered around. Some greeted the crowd excitedly, some took photos from a distance, and some even mustered up the courage to ask for a group photo.
"Master Li...Master Li, could we take a photo together?"
A girl wearing glasses was holding a cell phone, her hands trembling with nervousness.
Li Jun glanced at her and nodded.
"Can."
The girl was so excited she almost dropped her phone. She frantically picked it up, moved closer to Li Jun, and pressed the shutter.
Click.
The image freezes.
The girl looked at the photo, her face flushed red, and thanked him repeatedly before running away with her phone in her arms.
Once there's a first one, there will be a second and a third.
More and more students gathered around, some asking for photos, others for autographs, and still others simply wanting to get a closer look at the legendary Taoist Master Li.
Li Jun agreed to everything, his attitude was gentle, and he showed no impatience.
The principal watched this scene from the side, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
This person had just annihilated 100,000 gods, yet he appeared gentle, patient, and approachable in front of these students.
This contrast deepened the principal's awe of Li Jun.
The group walked and stopped frequently until they arrived at the library.
Li Jun stopped and looked up at the white building.
The library is small, with only five floors. The white tiles on the exterior walls are already somewhat mottled and covered with vines.
Spring has just arrived, and tender green buds are just sprouting on the vines, gleaming faintly in the sunlight.
He used to love coming here to read, sometimes sitting for the whole day, from opening to closing, until the librarian would come to urge him to leave.
Those days were simple yet fulfilling.
Seeing this, the principal suggested, "Taoist priest, shall we go in and take a look?"
Li Jun paused for a second, then nodded.
"it is good."
The group entered the library.
In the reading room on the first floor, many students were studying.
Some people were engrossed in reading, some were typing away on their laptops, and some were doing practice problems with headphones on.
Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on the wooden tables and chairs and bathing everything in a warm yellow hue.
Everyone was stunned when they noticed Li Jun enter.
A boy was drinking water, holding the cup in mid-air with his mouth open, unaware that water was dripping from the corner of his mouth.
A girl who was doing practice problems dropped her pen on the table and stared wide-eyed.
The entire reading room fell into a brief silence.
then……
"Holy crap! Master Li!"
"It's Master Li!"
"Good heavens! The Taoist priest has actually returned?!"
After a brief silence, cheers erupted. Some people stood up, some took out their phones, and some were so excited they didn't know what to do.
Li Jun made a shushing gesture.
The gesture was very light, but the entire reading room fell silent instantly.
Everyone looked at him, their eyes filled with excitement and awe.
Li Jun didn't say anything, but simply walked confidently into the depths of the reading room.
There was a table by the window.
It used to be his favorite spot.
At that moment, a boy wearing glasses was sitting in that spot, with a thick textbook open in front of him and a pen in his hand, doing some calculations.
He was clearly unaware of what had happened until the surroundings suddenly fell silent, at which point he looked up in bewilderment.
Then, he saw Li Jun.
The boy's pupils contracted sharply, and he froze in his chair, the pen falling from his hand onto the table with a crisp sound.
Li Jun walked up to him and looked down at him.
The boy was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. He tried to stand up, but his legs were too weak to support him. He tried to speak, but after opening his mouth for a long time, he couldn't utter a single word.
Li Jun looked at him and laughed.
Then, he reached out and patted the boy on the shoulder.
Study hard.
