# Chapter 1517: Enrollment
"You what?"
In the command center of Chennan Pass, Zuo Qing raised his head with a peculiar expression. "They want to go to Shangjing University?"
"That's what Captain Lin said." Min Junliang said, unable to hide his exasperation.
Zuo Qing leaned back in his seat, contemplating for a moment before murmuring 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 assessment?"
Doctor Li spoke slowly, "An Qingyu's condition is still unclear. Although there is indeed the possibility that the Great Xia gods mentioned, nothing can be determined right now. It might take some more time."
"Will him going to Shangjing University at this time cause any negative impact?"
"Based on my current assessment, there will be some impact, but with Captain Lin and the others around to protect him, it shouldn't be too problematic." Doctor Li deliberated for a moment. "However, to be safe, it's best to arrange a few people to secretly watch over them, just in case."
Zuo Qing's brow furrowed slightly, still appearing hesitant.
"Actually, letting him go to Shangjing University is also a good thing." Doctor Li continued. "That was supposed to be the life for people their age anyway. Experiencing another world might help shift his mentality."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qing nodded slightly. "Since Doctor Li has spoken, then let them go."
"Junliang, get them a few special enrollment identities, let them join this batch of new students. Prepare a separate residence for them near the school. Don't arrange surveillance nearby—they would spot through such tricks instantly. Find a few Night Watch members around their age to blend into the school and keep an eye on their movements."
"Yes."
"Also..." Zuo Qing paused. "Report this matter to the Heavenly Court."
"Yes."
Min Junliang turned and left. In the command center, only Zuo Qing and Doctor Li remained.
"University, ah..." Zuo Qing sighed, a trace of longing appearing in his eyes. "These kids really should get some proper rest."
Doctor Li slipped his hands into his white coat and said slowly, "If things truly develop in the direction the Heavenly Lord predicted, then this period might be their last joyful times... I hope they can cherish it."
...
Shangjing City.
The autumn wind was desolate. Lin Qiye and the others walked along a stone-paved path lined with maple leaves, coming to a halt before a closed gate.
"We've arrived. This is the residence the Commander prepared for you." A logistics department member introduced. "Considering your special circumstances, it's not suitable for you to stay in the student dorms with others, so we specially selected this courtyard. It's about two or three kilometers from Shangjing University—quite secluded. Generally, no one comes around here."
Lin Qiye's gaze swept across the surroundings. This was on a small suburban hill, surrounded by crimson maple forests. It was indeed quiet, a rare place of reclusion within the bustling city.
"Looks pretty good." Cao Yuan couldn't help but exclaim. "At least better than where we used to live."
"Thank Commander Zuo for us." Lin Qiye said with a smile.
"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: ...
"Everyone, please go take a look inside." The logistics staff, seeing Lin Qiye's smile freeze on his face, coughed lightly and unlocked the gate with the key.
The somewhat aged courtyard gate let out a dull creak. A spacious courtyard buried in fallen leaves appeared before their eyes.
The courtyard was indeed quite large, with six rooms. The exterior design was simple and elegant, matching the surrounding maple scenery. It looked like a hermit's secluded residence. A fish pond sat in the center of the yard, its surface covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. It appeared no one had taken care of it for a long time.
An Qingyu sat in his wheelchair, slowly making his way toward the center of the courtyard. He curiously打量着眼前这个房子，余光瞥到角落的枫树，与那树下的一块素雅石桌，整个人突然愣在原地。
"You okay?" Jiang Er, who was beside him, noticed his unusual expression and asked curiously.
An Qingyu's gaze swept across 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. Actually, once cleaned up, the scenery is quite nice." The logistics staff spoke again. He took several documents from his briefcase and handed them to Lin Qiye.
"All the enrollment materials are here. You've missed the new student enrollment at Shangjing by half a month—you're late, but since you're special enrollees, that shouldn't be much of a problem.
The student IDs, enrollment handbooks, and meal cards are all inside. You can study them carefully. It's best to go report to the school tomorrow. If you encounter any issues, you can contact me directly."
After giving these simple instructions, the logistics staff took his leave.
Lin Qiye looked at the four stacks of enrollment materials in his hands and couldn't help but laugh. "Never thought I'd have a day where I 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 admission letter looks like."
"This one is yours, this one is for Qingyu... this one's mine."
Lin Qiye distributed An Qingyu's 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 officially enter the school. They had promised to help her create a new body... but with things like this, 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, let me know. I'll directly hack into the academic system and change your grades. Isn't that way more interesting than being a student?"
"True. With Jiang Er here, we can stroll through school without a care in the world." Cao Yuan nodded in agreement.
He tore open the envelope in his hand and took out an admission notice. The material of the notice was quite soft, the cover a striking bright red, with the school emblem gilded in the center.
He flipped open the cover and read aloud word by word:
"Comrade Cao Yuan, our university has admitted you to study Philosophy in the College of Humanities. Please arrive at the school for registration on August 29, 2025, with this notice..."
The words fell, and Cao Yuan froze. Then he looked up at Lin Qiye with a strange expression.
"Philosophy??"
