Full-Time Magister: Immortality Begins with Slaying Demons
Chapter 47 Back to Shanghai
……
As he walked out of the Three Steps Pagoda, the other two freshmen who had entered the Wild Goose Pagoda with him came up to greet him.
"Zhou Sining, how was your harvest this time?"
"good."
Zhou Sining walked past them with a smile, showing no intention of stopping to exchange pleasantries.
The two of them had exchanged contact information with him on their way here, and he had a general idea of what was going on.
Li Yu, female, from the Li family, one of the three great families of the ancient capital.
Liu Haitao, male, from the Liu family, one of the three great families of the ancient capital.
Both were direct descendants of the imperial family, and naturally possessed an air of arrogance.
The reason he lowered himself to befriend a commoner like him was simply because he was ranked first on the undead leaderboard during freshman military training.
In previous years, the top ten on the points leaderboard were dominated by the scions of the three great families of the ancient capital. However, this year, Zhou Sining suddenly broke into the top ten and even became the number one in a row.
The powerful families of the ancient capital had already exposed his lineage for eighteen generations.
They naturally learned that he was an orphan from Bo City, without any powerful backing.
This means that Zhou Sining's strength is entirely due to his own talent and hard work.
When the news reached the ears of the major families, they were all in an uproar.
This is no ordinary person; this is practically the long-lost prodigy of their family!
Slow hand!
In an instant, invitation letters were handed to Zhou Sining in a rush.
Some scions of prominent families also received orders from their clans to take the initiative to curry favor with Zhou Sining in order to improve their relationship.
Among them, those who were closest to the source of the water and thus had the advantage of being the first to benefit were Li Yu and Liu Haitao, who would be cultivating together at the Wild Goose Pagoda.
They weren't fools; they knew that recruiting someone as talented as Zhou Sining into the family would make them incredibly wealthy.
Moreover, since they are the same age as Zhou Sining, they can recruit him and cultivate him into their confidant, thus consolidating their position in the family.
With so many prominent families extending invitations at the same time, even if Zhou Sining were slow to realize what they meant, he should have figured it out by now.
Therefore, he has always remained indifferent to these invitations.
If he was given small favors like business cards or coupons, he would readily accept them.
You can argue all you want, I'll just take what I need; there's no conflict.
If someone disturbs his cultivation by talking about eating or having fun, or even acts superior as if they pity him, then they should get as far away as possible.
Ultimately, he would never sign a contract of servitude with these bloodsucking capitalists.
……
After returning home, Zhou Sining, who had been studying diligently for three days, finally relaxed and had a good night's sleep.
After sleeping until the next morning, Zhou Sining, after washing up, sent a message to Mu Nujiao as usual.
I spent three days cultivating at the Wild Goose Pagoda, and I felt that my feelings for this girl had faded.
I glanced at the time and realized that the National Day holiday had already begun.
That's great.
Zhou Sining was very satisfied with the arrangement that the ancient capital's university would give him a holiday after the military training.
This gave him just enough time to go to Shanghai. He had said he would go find Mu Nujiao, and now it was time to put that into action.
Thinking of this, he immediately called Mu Nujiao.
"What's wrong?"
The call was answered instantly, and a melodious, bell-like voice reached Zhou Sining's ears, making him momentarily distracted.
"I just wanted to ask if you've gone on any trips?" Zhou Si replied.
"Not at the moment. I've been to all those famous tourist spots for the past 18 years and I'm tired of them," Mu Nujiao said with a smile.
"I'm actually thinking of going to Shanghai, wanna hang out?"
Mu Nujiao was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, then replied with a smile, "Okay."
"Okay, I'll text you after I get off the plane."
Upon receiving a positive reply, Zhou Sining was overjoyed and immediately booked a flight to Shanghai.
After ending the call, Mu Nujiao slowly lay back on the deck chair on the balcony, gazing at the garden not far away.
After watching for a long, long time, the corners of her rosy lips slightly lifted, and a hint of expectation appeared in her eyes.
……
……
It was already evening when the plane landed, and Zhou Sining sent a message to Mu Nujiao to let her know that she was safe.
The other party sent a message saying they could arrange a private jet to pick them up.
Zhou Sining was in a hurry to leave, and it was peak tourist season, so hotels in Shanghai were ridiculously expensive. Since he hadn't booked a hotel yet, he didn't refuse Mu Nujiao's suggestion.
As he sat in the Maybach bearing the Mu clan emblem, he eagerly anticipated meeting Mu Nujiao.
When we arrived at the Mu family's old residence, it was just past nine o'clock.
Even for such a large family located in the suburbs, nine o'clock at night is not too late.
Mu Nujiao, fulfilling her duty as a host, took the initiative to escort Zhou Sining to the guest room.
Having not seen each other for more than half a month, the two tacitly avoided mentioning the previous hug before their parting.
Therefore, the atmosphere between the two was relatively harmonious.
Zhou Sining then bragged without any restraint, describing in great detail how he had acted cool during military training.
Looking at the confident and flamboyant boy beside her, Mu Nujiao couldn't help but smile.
She couldn't help but tease, "So, you're a big celebrity at the university in this ancient capital?"
"Oh, I wouldn't call myself a celebrity, I'm just the number one on the school heartthrob list!" Zhou Sining said shamelessly.
The Ancient Capital Academy is different from the Pearl Academy. Freshman military training is conducted separately, and the Undead Points Ranking is far less dazzling than that of the Beast Fighting Tournament.
Even if he takes first place this time, most students don't even know him, and he's nothing like Mo Fan, who has attracted the hatred of the whole school.
But when it comes to bragging, whoever backs down is the one who feels embarrassed.
Anyway, I'm awesome!
Mu Nujiao was skeptical of how much truth was in Zhou Sining's words, but she was also very polite and didn't expose him, instead praising him along with his words.
"No wonder you two get along so well; you're both people who either don't speak up until you make a big splash. But your summoner friend is still getting a lot of criticism."
"Hey, it's okay, he doesn't care." Zhou Sining said, glancing at Mu Nujiao.
In the stillness of the night, with a bright moon and few stars, the warm glow of the streetlights fell upon Mu Nujiao, adding a touch of tranquility to this noble and elegant young woman.
The two walked slowly, but soon arrived at the door of the guest room.
"This is where you stayed last time. Everything inside has been changed. If you want to have a late-night snack, you can just call the cafeteria," Mu Nujiao said considerately.
After saying that, she turned to leave.
As she turned around, a stray strand of hair barely made a small arc across Zhou Sining's eyes.
Looking at that captivating back view, he subconsciously reached out and gently grabbed the other person's wrist.
When someone suddenly grabbed her wrist, Mu Nujiao was initially on guard, but when she saw that it was Zhou Sining, she relaxed.
"What's wrong?"
"Um, may I ask you a question, if I may?"
"you say."
"It's just...it's just..." Zhou Sining suddenly became hesitant.
After all, he had been single for many years and had no experience in pursuing girls!
With a heavy heart, he decided to go all out.
"Exactly, do you have anyone pursuing you?" Zhou Sining shouted.
Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao was taken aback at first, but then quickly realized what Zhou Sining meant.
She gave a half-smile: "If we're talking about pursuing someone, there are too many to count. What's wrong?"
"Can I pursue you?" Zhou Sining asked directly.
As soon as he said that, Zhou Sining immediately felt like he was drunk again.
Mu Nujiao's beautiful eyes widened in surprise; she had never expected Zhou Sining to say such a thing.
It took her a while to realize what was happening, and she flashed a smile that was so beautiful it was almost unfair.
"Well... whatever you want."
