116: Chapter 115 What Do You Count As?_1 116: Chapter 115 What Do You Count As?_1 After dinner in the large restaurant on the fifth floor, everyone moved back to the private room they had been in before. Under Tan Tianjun’s command, everyone placed fruits, drinks, snacks, and other things on the coffee table in the private room. Everyone was then seated in groups of three or five. This private room is quite large, about one hundred square meters, and there are sofas and long sofa stools all around the room. This kind of room is designed for student gatherings. There is plenty of space and seating. When everyone was seated, a space of about seventeen or eighteen square meters was cleared in front of the television wall in the private room. At this point, a male and a female student picked up the microphones and began to host today’s graduation party. Lv Zhong is not very familiar with most of his classmates, but he vaguely remembers that the male student is called Li Dongcheng and the female student is called Lin Lu. They both are school broadcasters and their Mandarin is extremely standard. “Dear students, tonight is our last collective gathering, and from here on out, we will each go our own ways. So tonight, let’s all have fun. Of course, we sincerely thank Mr. Tan and Ms. Xiao for accompanying us this past year. Now, let’s invite Mr. Tan and Ms. Xiao to come forward to say a few words…” Li Dongcheng called out loudly into the microphone. “Let’s welcome Mr. Tan and Ms. Xiao…” Lin Lu said with a sweet smile on her face. With a round of warm applause, Tan Tianjun and Xiaoyufeì both came forward. Picking up the microphone, Tan Tianjun scanned his eyes over all the students and smiled, “Well, there’s no need for a formal speech. I won’t beat around the bush, I just hope that each of you makes some progress every day while enjoying your college life. I hope that whenever I, a poor teacher, am despised by anyone, I can proudly say to them: ‘So-and-so is my student, do you have the right to despise me?’ Well, that’s all I have to say. Enjoy yourselves …” “Clap, clap, clap …” No one expected Tan Tianjun to say such a thing. However, everyone felt even more fond of him. A round of applause resounded crazily throughout the room. About two minutes later, the applause stopped. Xiaoyufeì also picked up the microphone, her beautiful eyes moving around quietly for a while before she said, “I am very pleased with everyone’s performance this past year! You have all been wonderful, and I am honored to have had the opportunity to teach you. Keep up the good work in the future!” Xiaoyufeì also kept her speech short. She knows that today’s stage belongs to the students. Another round of applause broke out and Xiaoyufeì and Tan Tianjun handed the microphones back to Li Dongcheng and Lin Lu. Standing in front of everyone again, Lin Lu said with a smile, “It’s very rare that all of us have gathered together. However, after a year of intense study, many of us don’t know each other very well. So, today, we hope that everyone will perform a program to let all the students get to know each other. What do you think?” “Sure!” “Great, let’s invite our entertainment committee member Lin Lu to take the lead and show off a bit, so that everyone can get to know the big beauty Lin Lu from our class…” Li Dongcheng timely shouted out! “Haha, Lin Lu, why don’t you go first… ” The host of the program, Lin Lu, didn’t expect to be betrayed by Li Dongcheng. She shot him an annoyed look, but still picked up the microphone gracefully, saying, “Fine, I’ll lead the way with a folk dance, Peacock Flying to the Southeast.” Lv Zhong watched everything calmly. Although he was a cultivator, he didn’t have much experience in life. He didn’t want to tread the ruthless road of cultivation. Lv Zhong intended to carve out his own path of cultivation in the mundane world. The current era on Earth was lawless. Lv Zhong felt his path of cultivation was deeply connected with the secular world. After all, in modern society, viruses, bacteria, and even mutant insects are abundant. In view of this, Lv Zhong believed he must have a mundane heart that matches his path in the secular world, constantly tempering his ordinary spirit. Therefore, he should cultivate in the world with a calm, equal, and balanced heart, experiencing tests of emotions and desires, and constantly refining his spirit. This was the helplessness of the lawless era, but it could also be an opportunity. In this era of cultivation, ordinary cultivators absorb energy that is often insufficient. However, their spirits can be better refined, and in the cultivation of the spirit, they might even be stronger than cultivators on cultivation planets with abundant spiritual energy. As long as they cultivate to the realm of leaving Earth, their strength will rapidly increase once they enter the cultivation world. However, not many Earth cultivators grasp this concept today. Even Lv Zhong merely had a vague idea about it. Lv Zhong calmly looked at Lin Lu. Lin Lu was the cultural commissioner of the class and the school’s broadcaster. Her voice and dance skills were top-class in the class. Accompanied by beautiful music, Lin Lu started the Peacock Dance of the Dai people without any hesitation. Although Lin Lu wasn’t as beautiful as Leng Mei nor as charming and cute as Yan Yan, she had an excellent figure with curvy beauty. Her Peacock Dance was quite solid. After Lin Lu stepped down, Li Dongcheng was pushed on stage and sang “At the Same Table.” After that, many people performed a piece. Singing, dancing, playing skits, harmonica, showcasing martial arts, tea fist and other performances kept coming. When it was Leng Mei’s turn, she recited twenty-eight plum blossom poems in one breath. After a few rounds, Yan Yan sang an old song “Sweetness,” shocking everyone present. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even Lv Zhong only discovered at this moment that Yan Yan had an extremely light and pure voice. Her rendition of “Sweetness” had a unique flavor. “Next up, let’s welcome our class’s most low-key Lv Zhong, rumored to possess unparalleled capabilities in calligraphy and painting. I have already prepared brush and ink. Haha, I hope Lv Zhong can do me a favor and let everyone witness his extraordinary painting and calligraphy skills…” Li Dongcheng called out excitedly. Upon hearing this, Leng Mei, Yan Yan, Tan Tianjun, Xiaoyufeì, Bu Yao, and others frowned. They could hear the provocation and malicious intent in Li Dongcheng’s words. After all, it was Lv Zhong’s prerogative to perform or not. Who was Li Dongcheng to dictate what he should do? At this moment, Lv Zhong was lounging on the sofa, too lazy to move. “What, Lv Zhong? It’s the last gathering among us classmates. Can’t you honor me?” Li Dongcheng looked at Lv Zhong provocatively, saying aloud. Deep down, Li Dongcheng despised Lv Zhong and was profoundly jealous of him. The reason being, during the Leng Mei’s 18th birthday, only Lv Zhong was invited among all the male students. This made Li Dongcheng extremely envious. Li Dongcheng was the actual ‘rich second generation,’ the only son of Yan City’s real estate tycoon Li Huiyan. Despite his standing, he wasn’t invited to Leng Mei’s birthday, but Lv Zhong, who was poor, was. This always bothered him. Today, when Lv Zhong entered the private room, Leng Mei invited him to her grandfather’s house once more. Li Dongcheng was burning with jealousy. Naturally, he wanted to pick a fight with Lv Zhong. Lv Zhong looked at Li Dongcheng disdainfully, saying indifferently, “Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of me giving you face?”
