Chapter 1516 - Philosophy
"You what?"
Inside the Chennan Pass Command Center, Zuo Qing looked up with a strange expression. "They're going to Shangjing University?"
"That's what Captain Lin said." Min Junliang said with a helpless smile.
Zuo Qing leaned back in his chair, pondering for a moment, and murmured to himself, "Could it be for An Qingyu's sake..."
He turned to the white-robed figure beside him. "Doctor Li, you've personally examined An Qingyu's condition. What's your opinion?"
Doctor Li slowly replied, "An Qingyu's condition is still unclear. Although there is indeed that possibility mentioned by the gods of Great Xia, nothing can be determined right now. We may need to wait a while longer."
"Will him going to Shangjing University at this time cause any negative impact?"
"Based on my current analysis, there will be some impact, but with Captain Lin and the others around to protect him, it shouldn't be a major problem." Doctor Li deliberated for a moment. "However, just to be safe, it would be best to arrange a few people to secretly guard them, just in case."
Zuo Qing's brow furrowed slightly, still hesitating.
"In fact, letting him go to Shangjing University could be a good thing." Doctor Li continued, "That is, after all, the life they should be living at their age. Experiencing another world might help shift his mindset."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qing finally nodded slightly. "Since Doctor Li has said so, let them go."
"Junliang, get them a few special enrollment identities and have them join this batch of new students. Also, prepare a separate residence near the school for them. Don't arrange any surveillance nearby - they'll see through those tricks immediately. Find a few Night Watch members around their age to blend into the school and monitor their movements."
"Yes sir."
"And..." Zuo Qing paused. "Report this matter to Heavenly Court."
"Understood."
Min Junliang turned and left. In the command room, only Zuo Qing and Doctor Li remained.
"University, huh..." Zuo Qing sighed, a hint of longing appearing in his eyes. "These kids really do deserve a good rest."
Doctor Li placed his hands in the pockets of his white coat and slowly said, "If things really develop in the direction the Heavenly Lord predicted, then this period might be their last happy times... I hope they can cherish it."
...
Shangjing City.
The autumn wind was desolate. Lin Qiye and the others walked along the stone-paved path covered with maple leaves and stopped before a closed gate.
"This is the residence the Commander prepared for you." A logistics member introduced. "Considering your special circumstances, it's not suitable for you to stay in the dormitories with other students, so this courtyard house was specially selected. It's about two or three kilometers from Shangjing University, quite secluded, and generally no one comes by."
Lin Qiye's gaze swept across the surroundings. They were on a small hill on the outskirts, surrounded by a sea of crimson maple leaves - indeed very quiet, a rare refuge from the bustling city.
"Looks pretty good." Cao Yuan couldn't help but exclaim. "At least better than where we used to live."
"替我们谢谢左司令。" Lin Qiye笑着开口说道。
"Commander Zuo said the property rights for this house don't belong to the Night Watch, so it's technically a rental. The rent will be deducted from Captain Lin's salary."
Lin Qiye: ...
"Why don't you all take a look inside first?" The logistics member, seeing Lin Qiye's smile freeze on his face, cleared his throat twice and unlocked the residence's door with the key.
The somewhat aged courtyard gate let out a dull creaking sound, revealing a spacious courtyard buried beneath fallen leaves.
The courtyard was indeed quite large, with six rooms. The exterior design was simple yet elegant, matching the surrounding maple scenery like a hermit's secluded residence. A fish pond sat in the center of the courtyard, its surface covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, looking as if it hadn't been tended to for a long time.
An Qingyu sat in his wheelchair and slowly made his way toward the center of the courtyard. He curiously examined the house before him. His peripheral vision caught sight of the maple tree in the corner, and beneath it, an elegant stone table. His entire body suddenly froze in place.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Er, who was beside him, noticed his unusual expression and asked in confusion.
An Qingyu's gaze swept over the courtyard inch by inch, his expression gradually becoming complicated...
"Nothing, it's nothing."
"This place has been abandoned for a long time, so it looks a bit messy, but after some tidying up, the scenery is actually quite nice." The logistics member spoke again. He took several documents from his briefcase and handed them to Lin Qiye.
"All your enrollment materials are here. Since the new student enrollment at Shangjing has already started half a month ago, you're technically late, but since you're special enrollees, that shouldn't be a problem.
Your student IDs, enrollment handbooks, and meal cards are all inside. You can study them carefully. It's best if you report to the school tomorrow. If you encounter any life-related issues, you can contact me directly."
After giving simple instructions, the logistics member took his leave.
Lin Qiye looked at the four stacks of enrollment materials in his hands and couldn't help but laugh lightly. "I never thought I'd step onto a university campus in this lifetime..."
"Who hasn't?" Cao Yuan reached out curiously. "Where's my materials? Let me see what an enrollment notice looks like."
"This one is yours... this one is yours too... and this is for Qingyu... this one is mine."
Lin Qiye distributed An Qingyu and Cao Yuan's materials respectively, then looked at Jiang Er with an apologetic expression. "Sorry, Jiang Er, your situation..."
An Qingyu turned to look at her, guilt appearing in his eyes.
Jiang Er had no physical form, so she couldn't openly enter the school. They had promised to help her create a new body... but now, in this condition, how could they fulfill that promise?
"It's fine, I didn't want to go to school anyway." Jiang Er smiled. "I'll just stay hidden by Qingyu's side. If you guys fail any exams or anything, just let me know. I can directly hack into the academic system and change your grades. Isn't that way more interesting than being a student?"
"True enough. With Jiang Er around, we could really strut around school without a care." Cao Yuan nodded in agreement.
He tore open the envelope in his hands and took out an acceptance letter. The paper was soft, the cover a striking bright red, with the school emblem gold-stamped in the center.
He flipped open the cover and read aloud word by word:
"Cao Yuan, our university has admitted you to the School of Humanities to study Philosophy. Please report to the school on August 29, 2025 with this letter..."
The words faded, and Cao Yuan froze. Then he looked up at Lin Qiye with a strange expression.
"Philosophy??"
...
Sorry, I'm stuck on the plot. San Jiu needs to think carefully about what comes next... Only two updates today~
