Silently upgraded, indestructible for 100 million layers!

The next day.

Rocket Class.

Training proceeded as usual, with Xiao Feng leading the group in physical training all morning.

After the exchange competition ended, the training intensity not only did not decrease, but actually increased slightly.

Xiao Feng said that good grades do not mean one can relax.

The fundamentals are of utmost importance.

However, for Jiang Lan, these training sessions were not much different from warm-ups.

At noon, Xiao Feng closed his training logbook, glanced at everyone, and said:

"Alright, that's enough for today, get out of class dismissed!"

Upon hearing the words "get out of class is over," Chu Yun collapsed to the ground, sprawled out on the floor, panting like a dog.

"So tired...so tired...I'm exhausted..."

"Get up! Aren't you ashamed?"

Lu Qingshan pushed up his glasses, looking somewhat disgusted.

"I'm not made of iron, can't I get tired?" Chu Yun muttered, quite unconvinced.

"Fine..." Lu Qingshan pouted, "I'm not arguing with you, I'm leaving."

As he spoke, he began packing his things, preparing to leave.

Jiang Lan also stood up, intending to go out with Lu Qingshan.

But before he could take a step, Xiao Feng suddenly called out to him from behind:

"Jiang Lan, wait a moment."

Jiang Lan paused and looked at Xiao Feng.

Chu Yun and the others glanced at Xiao Feng one after another, and then tactfully left.

Once only the two of them remained in the classroom, Xiao Feng walked up to Jiang Lan and said with a somewhat serious expression:

There's something I need to tell you.

"What is it?"

"We need to send someone from the Central Base City."

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Send someone?"

"Okay." Xiao Feng nodded. "Generally speaking, a recommendation spot is just a matter of sending a letter. Once the college completes the formalities, you can just go and register."

"But this time is different."

"They sent someone over specifically to meet you in person."

Jiang Lan remained silent for two seconds.

Clearly, this matter was beyond Xiao Feng's expectations.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said so much in one go.

"This situation must be quite uncommon, right?"

"Indeed," Xiao Feng said. "In all my years at the Extreme Martial Academy, I've recommended several students to go to the Central Base City, but there has never been a time when the Central Base City took the initiative to send someone."

"This means that your performance in the exchange competition has already reached the central base city."

Taking a breath, Xiao Feng continued:

"The person coming will arrive in about three or four days, but we don't know exactly who it is yet."

"However, the vice dean means to let you prepare."

At this point, Xiao Feng glanced at him and softened his tone slightly.

"Of course, whether you go or not is still your decision, that hasn't changed."

"But since the central base city has sent people, we should at least meet with them; it's basic courtesy."

Jiang Lan nodded and said:

"I understand, thank you, teacher."

Xiao Feng patted him on the shoulder, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Jiang Lan stood in the classroom, watching Xiao Feng's departing figure, lost in thought.

The vice dean had previously said he would give a reply within half a month, and he originally thought he had plenty of time to think it over.

Now, the Central Base City has actually sent people directly.

This is no longer a question of whether he wants to go or not.

Since they've come to us, we naturally have to show them our attitude.

Continuing to drag it out would be inappropriate.

Jiang Lan walked out of the classroom only after Xiao Feng's figure had disappeared for a while, her eyes filled with contemplation.

Central base city.

A larger platform, stronger competitors, and better resources.

It's not that he wasn't tempted by these things.

The spiritual energy chamber can only be used once a month at the Extreme Martial Academy, where the conditions are definitely better and the leveling speed is faster.

This alone was already very attractive to Jiang Lan.

But the problem is, he is not alone.

And Shen Qingqiu.

Jiang Lan didn't know what his motivation was, but he just didn't want to be separated from Shen Qingqiu.

Shaking his head, Jiang Lan walked to the school gate and hailed a taxi home.

Let's go home first and talk about it then.

As for whether or not to go, he still needs to discuss it with Shen Qingqiu.

A moment later, Jiang Lan got out of the car and entered the residential area.

When he got home, he took out his key, unlocked the door, and went inside.

In the living room, Shen Qingqiu was sitting on the sofa looking at her phone.

Hearing the noise, she looked up at Jiang Lan.

"You came home quite early today."

"Um."

Jiang Lan changed her shoes, walked over, and sat down opposite Shen Qingqiu.

Shen Qingqiu glanced at him and sensed that his expression was somewhat different from usual.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Lan paused for two seconds, then spoke:

"Auntie, I'd like to have a serious talk with you about what's going on in Central Base City."

Shen Qingqiu put down her phone and sat up straight.

"you say."

"The central government is sending someone to see me," Jiang Lan said. "They'll probably arrive in three or four days."

Shen Qingqiu was slightly taken aback.

"Send someone over?"

"Well, the teacher said this situation is uncommon. Usually, it's just a matter of sending a letter, and they won't send someone specifically for it."

Shen Qingqiu didn't reply immediately, but lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the sofa armrest.

After a long while, she finally raised her head, trying to keep her tone calm.

"So what do you think?"

Jiang Lan looked at her.

"I haven't decided yet, that's why I wanted to hear my aunt's opinion."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqiu smiled slightly.

"Since when have you started asking for my opinion before you even begin doing anything?"

This time, Jiang Lan didn't laugh, but said with unusual seriousness, "This time is different."

Looking into Jiang Lan's eyes, a complex expression flashed across Shen Qingqiu's face.

Xiao Lan... she's really different now...

After a moment of silence, Shen Qingqiu leaned back on the sofa, her gaze falling on the coffee table.

"Go ahead, your talent deserves to be showcased on a bigger stage."

Jiang Lan suddenly stood up, almost face to face with Shen Qingqiu, and said earnestly, word by word:

"Auntie, I don't want to go alone."

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the living room instantly became more romantic.

Shen Qingqiu took a deep breath, her full chest heaving.

"Xiao Lan, you must be joking."

"Auntie, I'm serious..." Jiang Lan looked at Shen Qingqiu, "If you're not here, who will cook for me?"

As soon as Jiang Lan finished speaking, the romantic atmosphere in the living room vanished instantly.

"You little brat, you want me to be your babysitter?"

"No way!" Jiang Lan waved her hands repeatedly. "I really can't bear to part with my aunt, heaven and earth can bear witness!"

Shen Qingqiu rolled her eyes.

"Your aunt is a member of the city guard. Even if she applies for a transfer, she can't be transferred to the central base city. If she really goes with you, I can't exactly become your babysitter, can I?"

Jiang Lan lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised her head again.

"Auntie, if you get a better job, can you come with me?"
