I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 325 Gathering Material
The trip hadn't even started yet, but Li Yan felt like he was almost there.

He believed that since it was a misunderstanding, it would be better to clarify it.

Although this will embarrass him, it's better than the misunderstanding getting bigger and bigger.

We can't really fool our senior and Mengmeng into going back.

If we really want to take it back, it will be done clearly and explicitly.

It took him two hours to finally clear up the misunderstanding.

Besides Jiang Yingzhu meticulously recording his dark history.

Li Yan noticed that his senior and Mengmeng didn't seem to buy his explanation.

"I feel like you've spoken your mind."

"Yes, experts have said that people's true thoughts are often hidden in the unnoticed details of daily life."

Two aloof girls, one tall and one short, walked on either side of Li Yan, while another girl who looked sunny yet cold glanced at them sideways as they followed.

It's quite eye-catching even inside the terminal.

Li Yan remained unmoved by these words.

"If you really want to come to my house for the New Year, you're welcome. But Mengmeng, you still have to spend New Year's Eve with your aunt. Senior, if you want to come, I won't stop you."

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu were only teasing him with a mix of truth and fiction, but after he agreed, they realized they were just teasing him.

They hesitated as well.

Especially for Hua Junshu, who is always straightforward, going to someone else's house on New Year's Eve, especially a boy's house, and having to face his relatives and friends, is ultimately a different story.

"we'll talk about it then."

"We are in area B, please check in over there."

Mei Mengqian naturally steered the conversation toward the matter of taking the plane.

"Oh, how do I check in?" Jiang Yingzhu asked.

"There are self-service check-in machines over there. Just swipe your ID card to print your boarding pass. If you have large luggage, you'll need to check it in manually."

The four of them went to print their boarding passes, which wasn't difficult at all.

After passing through security, proceed to the departure lounge to wait for your flight.

Li Yan could clearly sense that Jiang Yingzhu and Hua Junshu's tension had decreased significantly.

"It's so simple, nothing much at all?" Jiang Yingzhu scrolled through her phone, looking around at the various people. She could tell that most of them were out having fun, just like them.

"After all, this process is not complicated, nor can it be complicated. If it were, it would be tantamount to turning away customers."

"Then why are some places so complicated?" Jiang Yingzhu looked at him, recalling the transfer procedures when she was in elementary school.

"Complexity itself is a threshold, and it keeps some people out."

Jiang Yingzhu nodded slightly, not dwelling on the topic, because she heard the announcement from their plane.

Even though he had money, Hua Junshu wasn't the type to spend lavishly and indulge in luxury, so he bought an economy class ticket.

It's not that inconvenient for four people to sit in the same row.

Jiang Yingzhu and her two companions sat in the three seats on the left. The naive Qingmei, at her senior's request, sat in seat A by the window.

The senior student sat in the middle, while Mengmeng, not wanting her best friend to know she was secretly writing a book, sat on the outside.

Li Yan sat alone on the other side of the aisle.

He watched the passengers boarding the plane and thought that, according to the plot of a typical novel, he would be accompanied by a business tycoon or a beautiful woman, in short, someone of extraordinary status.

But then he saw a bratty kid grinning and calling him "uncle," and telling him to move aside.

Li Yan twitched the corner of his mouth.

Little friend, I'll let you off the hook this time since you bought a ticket.

But remember, your brother isn't a horse herder!

With the flight attendant's reminder, Li Yan put on his safety gear and then took off.

After the plane stabilized, Li Yan was about to take out his earphones to listen to music when he heard the little kid next to him sweetly call out:

"Brother, those three older sisters over there are so pretty, can I switch seats with them?"

"No, all three belong to my older brother."

"Tch, stingy guy, such a cheapskate!"

The man sitting next to the little boy smiled slightly embarrassedly at him, while the woman remained silent. It's unclear how this child developed his personality.

The kid's dad chimed in, "Going out to play, handsome little guy?"

"Yes, I just got into Harvard and I'm planning to relax and take a look around my country."

Li Yan's words completely stunned Mei Mengqian, who was secretly eavesdropping.

How did you get into Harvard?!
The little brat's father was taken aback.

"That's impressive, young man. You're doing very well in your studies."

Li Yan gave a humble smile and looked meaningfully at the little kid who was still excitedly wanting to hear some stories from older kids.

"Generally speaking, I have to thank my parents for cultivating good study habits when I was young. While others were playing during summer vacation, I was studying."

This sentence immediately piqued the interest of the little kid's mother, who was originally looking out the window at the scenery.

"I see. So, young man, how did you cultivate that study habit?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan smiled and calmly devised a strict daily routine for the little kid.

Every now and then, they'll spout a seemingly personal summary of their own experiences, but in reality, it's highly provocative and aligns with the values ​​these parents hold.

"It's comfortable now, but it'll be tough later!"

"Holidays are for catching up, not for resting."

The two parents were completely taken aback by him and had no choice but to believe him.

After all, Li Yan exuded the air of a scholar, which made people unconsciously convinced of his abilities.

The little kid listened with great interest, even feeling a bit excited. He secretly wrote down what the words said, intending to show them off to his classmates later, completely unaware of his parents' gazes.

On the other side of the aisle, Mei Mengqian was speechless. Li Yan's sense of humor was just too perverse.

······
At Dali Airport, after exiting the terminal, Li Yan and his three companions followed Hua Junshu's instructions and headed to the inn in the ancient city to check in.

Take a short break while you're at it.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Li Yan turned on his phone, considering whether he should explain what had happened to Ms. Fang.

After thinking about it, I decided not to explain.

I opened QQ and saw Jiang Yingzhu's profile picture again.

They discussed where to go later.

Guo Cailing: My sister and I are going out later too; we're heading to Fozuling.
Lin Yufan: Why did you go there?

Guo Cailing: It's quite close, and the subway station is over there.
Ma Liang: Is there really a Buddha in Buddha Ridge?

Guo Cailing: There are no salvation missions, but there are those who want money.
Li Yan watched with great interest when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

He went over to open the door and saw Mengmeng standing there, looking furtive.

"What's wrong?"

"My senior said we should go to the Foreigners' Street Night Market tonight."

"It's not evening yet," Mei Mengqian said softly.

Their accommodation was in a courtyard, and it didn't seem very soundproof.

“So.” Li Yan looked at her and raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Let’s go for a walk,” Mei Mengqian said after a pause. “Just the two of us.”

Before Li Yan could speak, she began to offer an explanation,

"It's just that... there's a scene in my book where the male and female protagonists are taking a walk, but I didn't feel anything for it, so I asked you for some inspiration."

A smile appeared in Li Yan's eyes as he jokingly asked, "Is there really such a part?"

Upon hearing this, Mengmeng nodded affirmatively, secretly clenching her fist.

"Have."

"Well, let's go."

So the two walked out of the courtyard side by side. As soon as they arrived on the charming old-fashioned path outside, Li Yan felt his fingers being pinched by a small hand.

Beside it, the teapot made a hesitant sound.

"Gather some materials."
