High-level martial arts: Long spear with black flames to suppress demons.

It was a little past nine in the morning.

After countless webpage crashes and refreshes, Li Yue suddenly let out an excited scream in the lobby.

"They're in! They're in! They've found them!"

Li Yue hugged Zhang Qingqing, who was sitting next to her, her voice trembling with excitement. Zhang Hai, who had been standing behind pretending to read a newspaper, also quickly came over, staring intently at the numbers on the screen.

Total score: 689 points

An extremely high score!

With this score, while there might be some risk and difficulty in getting into the two most prestigious universities in Beijing, he can basically pick any other top university in the country without much trouble.

"You did well on the exam, congratulations!"

Shen Chang'an leaned back on the sofa, offered his congratulations with a smile, and casually asked...

Have you decided which university to choose?

Zhang Qingqing, who was initially excited about finding out her high score, suddenly calmed down upon hearing Shen Chang'an's question.

She turned her head, her clear eyes filled with a hint of expectation and uncertainty, and looked at Shen Chang'an: "And you? Which city's school are you planning to choose?"

"Me? I don't know yet."

Shen Chang'an picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"It depends on the situation of a new female colleague in our unit. Wherever she goes, I'll probably go too."

A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Zhang Qingqing's eyes. But she concealed it well, simply nodding obediently, "I see... I also have a few schools I like that are hard to choose from. I'll think about it some more."

As Zhang Qingqing turned her head to continue studying the college application guide with her mother, Zhang Hai and Li Yue, who were standing to the side, exchanged a discreet glance.

As parents who have been through it all, how could they not see the hidden adolescent stirrings in their daughter's heart?

However, Shen Chang'an seemed to lack common sense in this regard, and the two of them didn't have a very good relationship before. Since he had no intention of revealing anything, the old couple naturally couldn't point it out and could only sigh silently in their hearts.

Just as Zhang Qingqing and her mother continued to study the school on the screen, Shen Chang'an's phone, which was on the coffee table, started vibrating wildly.

When I opened WeChat, I saw that it was a message from Baiyin.

The screen was filled with all sorts of arrogant "kitten setting off fireworks" and "kitten wiggling its butt" memes, interspersed with a screenshot of a grade.

719 points!

"Boss! Aren't I awesome? Praise me! Praise me! [Proud little cat.gif]"

Looking at this insane score, Shen Chang'an raised an eyebrow. He was about to type "Amazing!" when he stopped, his finger hovering over the screen.

Wait a minute, on second thought, Bai Yin, that damned cat, is at least a demon who's lived for over a hundred years. Her intellectual development and mental strength are far beyond what ordinary humans can match. If she'd lived for over a hundred years and still failed to get a high score on a human college entrance exam, then those hundred years would have been a complete waste!

So Shen Chang'an deleted his original words and replied: "You did alright on the exam. At least you didn't waste your long life of over a hundred years by feeding dogs all the time."

Baiyin replied instantly: "Hey hey hey! Even though I've lived a long time, I really only studied for three years, okay! This is my first time in high school in my cat life! [cat looking aggrieved.gif]"

Shen Chang'an was too lazy to argue with her: "Fine. You can choose any school in Donghuang. Which one are you planning to go to?"

Bai Yin: "It's up to you. Whichever city you go to, I'll apply to the university in that city."

Baiyin is no naive or innocent cat. As an old cat who has been through thick and thin in human society, she is very shrewd.

In an organization like the Night Town Guard, the demon race has always been in a rather awkward and marginal position, making it difficult to get by. Now, with a peerless genius who's already a fifth-realm expert at less than twenty years old as her superior, wouldn't it be foolish not to cling to such a powerful figure? If she doesn't find a powerful patron to stick with, won't she face immense difficulties in the Night Town Guard in the future?

Seeing Bai Yin's reply, Shen Chang'an typed, "Then wait for tide Wan's news. We'll decide after she confirms which school she can go to."

Upon seeing this message, Bai Yin on the other end of the phone immediately became displeased, and a strong sense of jealousy and sarcasm wafted over from the screen.

Baiyin: "Oh my~~ You're calling her 'Xiwan' now? That's so affectionate~"

"We've known each other for years and gone on many missions together, big and small, and I've never heard you call me by my nickname! Forget about nicknames, when we go out to meet with other units, you just point at me and say, 'This is our colleague Bai from our unit!' Now you call this young girl who's only been here for a few days 'Xiwan' all the time... Sigh, I'm heartbroken."

"True heartbreak isn't about making a scene..."

Watching the onslaught of comments from the dramatic cat on the screen, Shen Chang'an remained expressionless and typed two words on the keyboard before sending them:

"Idiot."

The next second, Baiyin sent a fierce emoji of a kitten hissing and puffing up its fur.

Bai Yin: "You're the idiot! Your whole family are idiots! I'm so angry! Just you wait, next time you come to work, I'll bite you to death, you fickle, heartless bastard!!!"

Shen Chang'an chuckled upon seeing this: "The old man is breathing heavily."

......

Two days later.

Office of the Zhenyesi Branch in Qingzhou District.

"Clatter".

Two brown paper bags stamped with sealing wax were thrown on the coffee table.

Old Zhao, holding a thermos, looked at the two people on the sofa with a smile: "The results of the special admissions are in. Open them and take a look."

Shen Chang'an nestled on the sofa and lazily opened the documents.

Li Xiwan, standing next to her, was visibly more nervous. She took a deep breath and carefully pulled out the notification slip from inside.

The next second, her eyes widened suddenly.

"Beijing University...Beijing Institute of Technology...Shanghai University, Guangzhou University..."

Li Xiwan looked up at Old Zhao in disbelief, her face filled with disbelief. "Director Zhao, is this a mistake? I'm only at the first level, how could I possibly be from all the top universities in the country?"

Old Zhao said slowly and deliberately, "You didn't send the wrong message. The higher-ups are very satisfied with your magical talent and have given you very high praise. Although you started a little late, it doesn't matter."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiwan's face flushed slightly with excitement, and she subconsciously glanced at Shen Chang'an beside her.

At this moment, Shen Chang'an was staring at his list with a furrowed brow.

"Old Zhao, is our company now involved in human trafficking?"

Shen Chang'an shook the pages in his hand.

"Why are there so many price tags following the schools on my list?"

"Brother, this is the bonus. Take a closer look."

Old Zhao walked over and pointed to the numbers on the list: "After you submit this report, the General Administration system is practically overwhelmed with inquiries! Look at this sincerity—"

"The Beijing branch made the first offer: if you choose a university in Beijing, they will give you 10,000 internal contribution points, plus a 10 million yuan cash settlement allowance."

Shen Chang'an curled his lip: "Is this all the vision you have right under the emperor's nose? Only 10,000 contribution points?"

"Don't rush, look below."

Old Zhao chuckled.

"The Shanghai branch is loaded. They're offering 30,000 contribution points plus 50 million in cash!"

"And they promised that as long as you agree, 50 million will be deposited into your account tonight, and you'll get it after the contribution points are reported."

There was a three-second silence in the office.

Fifty million, plus thirty thousand contribution points.

Without saying a word, Shen Chang'an picked up a pen and quickly signed his name in the confirmation column behind Shanghai University.

The movements were fluid and graceful, without the slightest hesitation.

"Have you decided?"

"Yeah. Shanghai is by the sea, the climate is good, it's a perfect place for a lazy bum like me to retire."

Shen Chang'an nodded with a righteous air.

"It's definitely not because of those 50 million and 30,000 contribution points."

Old Zhao chuckled, too lazy to pay him any attention, and turned to Li Xiwan: "Xiwan, what about you?"

Li Xiwan gripped the pen tightly, glancing furtively at Shen Chang'an out of the corner of her eye, her heart racing slightly.

"I...I also chose Shanghai University."

Fearing her thoughts would be seen through, she quickly added in a serious tone, "I heard there are many demons over there, and also many opportunities for real combat. I want to improve my strength as soon as possible so I don't hold everyone back!"

Shen Chang'an nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, very conscientious."

Seeing that Shen Chang'an didn't think of anything else, Li Xiwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
