After Ye Wanxi stayed at Linghua Academy, she worked diligently and conscientiously. She completed all the tasks assigned by Wen Qianyi very well. She made Wen Qianyi sigh several times: "If Lin Ran had let me meet you earlier, you would be my apprentice!"

Today in the Alchemy Department's high-level alchemy room, there are only two people in the room, one is Ye Wanxi, and the other is Wen Qianyi. In the pharmacy is a high-quality medicine furnace, and next to the furnace are hundreds of medicinal materials neatly arranged.

Wen Qianyi looked at Ye Wanxi in front of her and said earnestly: "Wanxi, after this period of special training, you are actually able to refine fifth-level pills. Whether you can advance to the next level depends on the Dragon Tiger Pill you refine this time!"

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I've made it a bit difficult for you to make the Dragon Tiger Pill. It doesn't matter if you fail. You can learn from your failure..."

Ye Wanxi took Wen Qianyi's words to heart. After a long while, she made a rare joke and said, "Sister Qianyi, I feel like you are my mother!"

When Wen Qianyi heard this, she couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

After all, in a sense, she was with the senior, and the senior's son was with Wanxi, and the two were engaged, so she seemed to be... Wanxi's mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law was also half a mother.

Wen Qianyi said with a straight face, "You're just making fun of your sister. Get ready for the exam!"

"Yes!"

Ye Wanxi covered her mouth and chuckled, then sat cross-legged on the cushion in the room and closed her eyes to adjust her state.

Wen Qianyi also left the pharmacy and turned on all the protective measures in the pharmacy before slowly leaving.

Wen Qianyi was thinking about going to see how other students were refining medicine, when suddenly a student from the alchemy department came running over and found Wen Qianyi.

"Elder Wen, Elder Xin wants to talk to you about something urgent and wants you to go to her office immediately!" said the student.

"Okay, please!"

After Wen Qianyi thanked him, she changed direction and headed towards the office of the Alchemy Department.

While walking on the road, Wen Qianyi was also thinking to herself: "Sister Xin is so anxious to find me. Is there something important? Could it be that the senior has returned?"

Thinking of this, Wen Qianyi couldn't help but quicken her pace. She was eager to know whether the senior had returned.

The office of the Alchemy Department is located in a large mansion. When there is nothing to do, many teachers of the Alchemy Department gather here. This is also based on Lin Ran’s idea. If students need to find a teacher for something, they can find him/her conveniently.

Wen Qianyi came all the way to Xin Zhiqing's office. As soon as she walked in, she saw Xin Zhiqing's unhappy face, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

She stepped forward and asked softly, "Um... Sister Zhiqing, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"Qianyi, sit down first!"

Xin Zhiqing didn't talk about business, but asked Wen Qianyi to sit down first.

This made Wen Qianyi even more panicked. She stood there, with her hands on the table, looking at Xin Zhiqing with a somewhat uneasy look and said, "Sister Zhiqing, tell me, has something happened? Did something happen to the senior?"

"this…"

Xin Zhiqing was speechless for a moment. Even she did not expect Qianyi to be so sensitive. She was silent for a moment, nodded stiffly, and said: "Mr. Lin Ran, after he went to Jishui City, he chose to take the space tunnel even though he knew there was a problem with the space tunnel. Now the space tunnel leading to Liezhou has exploded, and Lin Ran is nowhere to be found."

The expression on Wen Qianyi's pretty face froze for a moment. She took a few steps back without saying a word, then turned around and rushed out.

Xin Zhiqing became anxious when she saw this, and she quickly stood up and shouted, "Qianyi, what are you doing!"

"I'm going to see the senior's soul jade tablet!" Wen Qianyi responded anxiously.

After hearing this, Xin Zhiqing also breathed a sigh of relief. Watching the aqua-blue figure leave, she sat back on the chair, leaned against the back of the chair, patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, Qianyi didn't do anything stupid!"

Xin Zhiqing looked down at the letter sent by her subordinates from Lichuntang on the table. She felt very complicated and murmured in a low voice: "Mr. Lin Ran, even if you are in a hurry to come back, you don't have to bite the bullet and sit in the dangerous space tunnel, right? This time, I'm afraid Qianyi is worried!"

……

73. Come back

The news about Lin Ran soon spread to several senior executives of Linghua Academy.

Qiu Qingzi, who was handling things in the office, also got the news. Her pretty face couldn't help but reveal a bit of surprise. She raised her head from the pile of documents, stared at the secretary in front of her, and asked again in a deep voice: "Vice President Lin took the space tunnel, and now the space tunnel is destroyed?"

"Yes, Vice President Qiu, here is the situation in Holy Dome City. They confirmed that the space tunnel leading to Liezhou did explode due to unknown reasons." The secretary handed over another piece of news in his hand for Qiu Qingzi to review.

After Qiu Qingzi took it and examined it, she felt a little dizzy for a moment. She rubbed her brows, looked at the secretary, took out her jade token, and instructed: "Go to Linghua Mountain Temple for me and check the situation of Vice President Lin's soul jade token."

The secretary did not take the jade token immediately, but said softly: "Vice President Qiu, that... Elder Wen rushed over immediately. The jade token is fine, but the light is slightly dimmed."

"It seems the situation is better than I thought!"

Qiu Qingzi didn't expect that Lin Ran could survive such a disaster as the explosion of the space tunnel. This was not just luck. Lin Ran obviously had a trump card to save his life.

"This guy may be wandering in some corner of Jiezhou now. You should mobilize them and let them investigate Lin Ran's whereabouts!" Qiu Qingzi ordered.

She knew a little about the situation of the space tunnel. Since Lin Ran's soul jade token was fine at the moment, it meant that he had escaped from the space tunnel. If she looked for it in Jiezhou, she might be able to find him.

"I see!"

The secretary nodded and left Qiu Qingzi's office.

Qiu Qingzi looked down at the letter paper on the table, which contained news about the explosion of the space tunnel and Lin Ran's disappearance. She couldn't help but have a headache again. She rubbed her temples and murmured in a low voice: "Lin Ran, Lin Ran, why did you do such a thing this time!"

"Should I report this to that woman Wen Bixuan?"

Qiu Qingzi felt quite troubled by this problem.

At a meeting some time ago, Lin Ran was appointed as the person in charge of Linghua Academy in the All-Continental Academy Competition. She was happy for a while, because finally she didn't have to lead a team and be ridiculed by a group of people. However, not long after the competition started, Lin Ran ran into problems.

Now Qiu Qingzi can only pray that Lin Ran can return to Linghua Academy safely, otherwise Wen Qianyi will not be the only one who will be sad, and Qiu Qingzi will also be unable to stop crying...

……

"Hey, do you dare to be any worse at carriage riding?"

"It's obvious that the road is bad!"

"If you can't do well, don't blame the uneven road!"

"Sorry, I'm not a human, I'm a spirit!"

The above conversation comes from the conversation between Lin Ran and Fanhua in a relatively desolate valley on the edge of the dangerous triangle.

The two were fretting over the carriage which was now wrecked due to a "car accident".

Lin Ran felt a headache as he looked at the horse that was beaten to death on the cliff in front of him. Where could he find a horse in this desolate mountain area?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Lin Ran stared at the flowers with a very resentful look.

Although Fanhua felt very weak inside, she did not lose face. She stood with her hands on her hips, looking very powerful, like a heroic hen, very aggressive.

Lin Ran stared at it for a while, but was amused by Fanhua's demeanor: "Hahaha!"

"why are you laughing!"

Fanhua was a little angry, her eyes fixed on Lin Ran. If Lin Ran said something that displeased her, she would definitely pounce on the old guy and strangle him to death, using her own way to respect the elderly and love the young.

"I was just thinking of something happy!"

Lin Ran wiped his mouth with his hand, barely suppressing the smile that was about to overflow, and said: "Next, we will use spiritual power to hurry on. Anyway, I have recovered one-third of my strength. If we reach the border town of Linghua City, we can change to a carriage!"

Fanhua glared at Lin Ran for a while, then finally nodded and turned into a ray of golden light that entered Lin Ran's brows.

Before Lin Ran was ready to set off, he cleaned up the "crime scene", but the process was really very difficult. The corners of his mouth were like an AK that couldn't be suppressed and he couldn't help but raise them. The main reason was that Fanhua controlled the horse to crash into the stone wall and killed the horse.

He decided to record this incident quietly so that he could take out the Smile Flowers later.

Without a carriage, the rest of the journey could only be measured on foot. Lin Ran's injuries had not yet fully recovered, but he could still hold on while stopping and starting.

Walking out of the valley, there is a vast desert Gobi. It is difficult to see human habitation. There is only the scorching sun hanging high in the sky and the ground that is burned like an iron plate. Even the wind is hot and carries a lot of sand, which makes your eyes blurry.

Looking down at the land from the sky, Lin Ran, a small ant, is moving in a certain direction at a relatively stable speed, and he understands more and more what the scene of "no trace of people on the thousands of paths" means.

It took Lin Ran more than a week to finally get out of the desert and arrive at the border town within the sphere of influence of Linghua Academy.

When he saw the curling smoke from the small town, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he was back in his familiar old place, he no longer had to worry and travel so cautiously.

After entering the town, Lin Ran first rented a room, changed his medicine, bought a high-quality carriage, and continued to move towards Linghua Academy.

If he had not come to the town and asked the residents here "What year is it now", he would not have known that he had wasted more than a month.

"I don't know if Qianyi and the others know what happened to me. I hope they don't know!" Lin Ran was thinking wildly while driving the carriage.

However, this possibility is likely to fail.

Mueller was there, and he also left a note for Mueller. If anything happened to him, Mueller would definitely send a message to Xin Zhiqing immediately. And Xin Zhiqing was so good friends with Wen Qianyi, so she would definitely notify him immediately.

He was in a hurry to go back now, hoping that Wen Qianyi would no longer worry about him after seeing him. He felt guilty for making this girl worry about him every time.

After some time, he finally drove back to Linghua City, which he had not seen for a long time. Looking at the ancient plaque and the bustling flow of people coming in and out of Linghua City, he was filled with emotion.

He couldn't wait to drive his carriage to another passage dedicated to the academy, but as soon as he arrived at the gate, his carriage was stopped by the guards at the city gate.

"Token, please!"

One of the guards said with a serious look.

Lin Ran took off his hood, handed over the token, and said with a smile: "Do you still recognize me?"

The two guards were obviously students from the academy. When they saw Lin Ran's appearance, they couldn't help but exclaimed, "Vice President Lin!"

"Is it really you? Mr. Lin, can I...can I get an autograph?" One of the short female guards with two pigtails shouted excitedly.

The two heroic female guards suddenly became Lin Ran's little fans. One of them even wanted Lin Ran's autograph, which made Lin Ran very happy. Finally, they were not the kind of people who asked him for Wen Qianyi's autograph.

Lin Ran gave a calligraphy signature that he had practiced, and then drove the carriage into the city with a smile. The two little fans watched Lin Ran's back disappear in the traffic. One of them held Lin Ran's signature in her hand and said excitedly: "I have confidence in the All-Academy Competition again. I must work hard to join Mr. Lin's team!"

"Look how happy you are!"

Another female guard was also happy for her bestie and couldn't help but smile and said, "Then you have to work hard. It's not that easy to get into Vice President Lin's team. You must be in the top 50 of the academy's ranking to be eligible!"

"It's just the top 50. I can definitely get it!" The female guard with pigtails clenched her pink fists and waved them a few times, seeming very confident about getting into the top 50 on the Heavenly Ranking.

Her best friend shook her head, tapped the girl's head gently, and reminded her: "Stand guard well, otherwise you won't have any academy points to practice with!"

"I know!"

……

Lin Ran had just driven the carriage into Linghua Academy when he unexpectedly met a man from the intelligence agency that Qiu Qingzi was in charge of. The man helped Lin Ran take over the carriage and took Lin Ran directly to Qiu Qingzi's office.

Lin Ran sat at the desk, looked at Qiu Qingzi who was leaning against the back of the chair in front of him with a strange smile on her face, and then looked at the two beautiful girls with stern faces behind him.

After a while, he asked, "You have such a strong control over Linghua City now, how come you knew it as soon as I came in?"

"You walked in through the college corridor so high-profile, and even chatted with the students at the door... Isn't it more than enough for this news to reach me? By the way, Lin Ran, you don't want Qianyi to know about your philandering, right?" Qiu Qingzi crossed her legs and looked at Lin Ran with a cunning look on her face.

Lin Ran: "..."

Sister, what's with you smelling like a minotaur?

"It doesn't matter if she knows. I believe Qianyi will forgive me!" Lin Ran straightened his back and said confidently.

"I really don't know what Qianyi sees in you, you old man!" Qiu Qingzi pouted and complained.

"Maybe he thinks I'm handsome!"

Lin Ran touched his beardless chin and said shamelessly.

"Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I'm glad you're fine. Go to your room and find Qianyi!" Qiu Qingzi shrugged and continued, "Since this girl found out that you were in trouble, she has stopped caring about the Alchemy Department and has been hiding in your room, watching your soul jade token every day. Even if Wen Bixuan goes there, it's useless!"

"Why didn't you say that earlier!"

Lin Ran stood up excitedly and slammed his hands on the table, which just happened to tear the wound. He couldn't help but gasp: "Hiss!"

"What's wrong with you?"

Qiu Qingzi came over and asked.

"It's okay, I'll go find Qianyi and let her know I'm safe first!"

Lin Ran gritted his teeth and said.

74. Qianyi Drinking

Qiu Qingzi watched Lin Ran leave. For some reason, she felt strange and her body seemed very weak. She thought to herself, "Did Lin Ran suffer any internal injuries in the space tunnel?"

Thinking of this, Qiu Qingzi instructed the two girls who had just brought Lin Ran over: "Go and follow Lin Ran, and when you see Wen Qianyi, remind Wen Qianyi to help Lin Ran check his injuries!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the two girls quickly turned around and left.

Qiu Qingzi also stood up and came to the window, folded her hands on her chest, looking at the green mountains and forests in the distance. She was also thinking about the upcoming All-Continental Academy Competition. She didn't know if Lin Ran's body could recover before the competition. If not, the team leader would have to be changed.
