That little iron stick is adorned with very unique ancient characters, seemingly ancient Chinese, but with many variations, they are worth researching. As for the lion-shaped inkstone, it was crafted from quality stone personally picked from Zichuan by Fan Zhongyan Fan Wenzheng, a valuable object for collection indeed.” Lv Zhong silently scorned. He didn’t understand any collecting knowledge. The reason he valued these two objects was because they were from the Cultivation World. After accepting the two items gifted by Zheng Tianle, he had lunch at Zheng Tianle’s place and then excused himself. As for Lv Zhong’s departure, Zheng Tianle was quite dissatisfied. He tried to keep Lv Zhong several times, but Lv Zhong was determined to leave, so Zheng Tianle had to have his driver, Xiao Zhao, take Lv Zhong back to school. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When he came back to the dormitory, it was already after 2 p.m. Taking advantage of the absence of others, Lv Zhong packed all his belongings into the Plague Pearl’s space and prepared to go home. As for the vast majority of the Soul-Devouring Bugs and Pathogenic Worms, which were placed in various hospitals in the city, Lv Zhong did not retrieve them back into Wen God Pearl for the time being. For these two magical types of bugs, the hospitals in the city are the cradles where they can grow rapidly. If they were brought back to Sauna Pond Town, the evolution of these bugs would slow down. This was not what Lv Zhong wanted to see. As he leisurely stepped out of the dormitory, Lv Zhong was surprised to find Yan Nuchao, carrying two heavy suitcases from the girls’ dormitory, while Yan Yan was awkwardly following behind her father with two large red and white woven bags hanging from a meter-long bamboo pole. Lv Zhong knew that those two woven bags were filled with quilts. Although their combined weight wouldn’t exceed forty kilograms, it was indeed a comical sight in the eyes of many people, for such a beautiful girl to be carrying such things. Moreover, it rained heavily this morning, and the weather was immensely humid. Yan Yan, who was only 1.55 meters tall, was clearly struggling with carrying the two large woven bags. Drops of fragrant sweat fell from her delicate face, Yan Yan followed her father towards the school gate, though she was having difficulty and looked funny, she did not seem to feel embarrassed at all. There are now very few girls who can ignore the ridicule of those around them. Lv Zhong’s heart was suddenly moved. It is not easy for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl to do so in today’s society. Watching this scene, Lv Zhong strode towards the father and daughter. Arriving next to Yan’s father and daughter, a smile appeared on Lv Zhong’s face, it was gentle, warm, and reassuring: “Hello Uncle Yan, Yan Yan, give me the burden. This work is too heavy for a girl.” As he spoke, Lv Zhong placed a hand on the sturdy pole resting on Yan Yan’s shoulders, and with a slight force, the items on Yan Yan’s shoulder easily landed on Lv Zhong’s. “Brother Xiao Chong? Didn’t you go to Leng Mei’s grandfather’s house? You’ve returned so quickly?” Yan Yan looked at Lv Zhong in surprise and quickly asked. Oh, this girl still remembers Leng Mei’s invitation to Lv Zhong yesterday. “Hehe, it was just a brief visit. How long could it take?” Lv Zhong chuckled. “Little Zhong, how can we possibly let you do this kind of heavy work? Put it down. Although Yan Yan is delicate, she is used to doing household chores. Let her carry it.” Yan Nuchao also loved his daughter very much and did not want her to do any heavy work. However, seeing Lv Zhong, their lifesaver, coming over to help, he was startled and quickly tried to stop him. “Uncle Yan, you’re mistaken! Girls like Yan Yan should be well protected. How can we let them do heavy work? It’s such a blemish on the scenery, haha…” Lv Zhong’s words contained a hint of humor. Yan Nuchao, being a rather straightforward farmer who isn’t good with words, stammered and didn’t quite know what to say when Lv Zhong insisted. The three of them left the school grounds. Yan Nuchao asked Yan Yan and Lv Zhong to take a break while he watched over their suitcases, then he hurried off to hail a taxi. If it were just him and his daughter, Yan Nuchao might have considered taking the bus to save some money. But now, the addition of Lv Zhong made him too embarrassed to have Zhong squeeze onto a crowded bus with them. Hence, he began hailing down taxis as soon as they left the school grounds. However, the area outside City No.1 High School was still crowded and even some private cars were desperately trying to get near the school. As a result, Yan Nuchao was unable to flag down any taxi. Half an hour passed when Lv Zhong asked Yan Yan to keep an eye on their possessions and then joined Yan Nuchao. “Uncle Yan”, he proposed, “There’re too many people here, we won’t be able to get a cab. Let’s go a little further to Liberation Avenue, we might be able to get a cab there…” “Well…” Yan Nuchao gave a bitter smile, then nodded in agreement. “Okay, we’ll just have to impose on Little Zhong.” “What imposition is there on me!” Lv Zhong shook his head, walking back to Yan Yan’s side. The three of them didn’t waste any more time and began walking towards Liberation Avenue. As they reached near the State Taxation Bureau, a Cadillac pulled up near them. The right window of the car gradually slid down. A face familiar to both Yan Yan and Lv Zhong appeared in front of them. It was none other than Li Dongcheng! Being both a classmate and the broadcaster of their school, his father was even a real estate mogul in Yan City. But he had become an enemy of Lv Zhong the night before, and by the looks of it, he came to ridicule Lv Zhong and Yan Yan. “Lv Zhong, it doesn’t matter how good your grades are, you poor bumpkin! Haha, this is a money-worshipping society, only people with money are respected. Without even a car, I pity your poor dad, what a pathetic loser. Haha, why don’t you acknowledge me as your godfather…” As Li Dongcheng laughed arrogantly, his coy gaze moved between Lv Zhong and Yan Nuchao. His glance towards the two was filled with utmost contempt. He thought that Yan Nuchao was Lv Zhong’s father. Yan Nuchao was a typical commoner, his dressing sense was not very sophisticated. Although his clothes were clean, they were washed out and the sleeves even had holes. He was sweating profusely while carrying two large suitcases, possessing the entire look of a common man. Although Lv Zhong looked a bit handsome, carrying two big bags on his shoulders did nothing for his image, and so it was quite normal for Li Dongcheng to disdain him and Yan Nuchao. However, being loathed by someone is not abnormal in this world. There are many people who judge others by their appearances. Generally, those with a bit of decency would keep their disdain to themselves. But although Li Dongcheng had a handsome face, his character was downright inferior. He bore a grudge against Lv Zhong, and seeing them in such a state, he couldn’t help but rush over in his car to ridicule Lv Zhong. After seeing Yan Yan, although her dress was cheap and humble, it didn’t compromise her beauty at all. This caused Li Dongcheng to look at Yan Yan with a covetous gaze. “Li Dongcheng, I warned you once not to mess with me. But it seems like you think I am easy to bully, is that it?” Lv Zhong put down the load on his shoulder, walked next to Li Dongcheng’s Cadillac SUV, and said in a calm voice his eyes cold as ice.
