"...I don't know."

When she confessed her feelings, she didn't even think about whether she could go back or whether she could bring him back.

What if Shang Yanting can't take it back?

Jia Xitong panicked for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

The matter of Shang Yanting becoming a god is still far from certain, and her return home is indefinitely postponed. Therefore, bringing him back is the next step.

"This system is amazing! Can I bring back some local specialties when I go home in the future?"

[Does this "specialty" refer to the male protagonist?]

"Hehehe?"

[...]

It's rare for a true system to remain silent.

There were once some arrogant mission takers who thought they could successfully complete the mission and return home, and even fantasized about taking away all sorts of treasures from the Aotian Continent.

But none of them succeeded.

He was basically dead before Shang Yanting became a god.

[Let's talk about it when you're alive enough for the male lead to become a god and before the world ends.]

"The system said that when you become a god, I can take you home to meet my parents." Jia Xitong's top-notch comprehension skills.

"Let's not talk about that now."

She eagerly hugged his face and kissed him several times.

Shang Yanting: ...

He held her waist, letting her lips fall on his face. Today was an exceptionally happy day, yet also an extremely agonizing one. "Can't we do anything else?"

Jia Xitong blinked hard. "You don't like my kisses?"

Shang Yanting: "...How about this, you pursue me for a few more days and let me think about it."

"Of course I can't go back on my word!"

Jia Xitong sat on him, looking down at him condescendingly, "Once you're on the pirate ship, there's no getting off. Any resistance is futile!"

The next day

The cultivators of Xianlong Peak noticed that their peak master was in an exceptionally good mood today.

Is it because the people from Yimeng College are leaving today? The honest and simple-minded Niu Chuanchuan always has exceptionally down-to-earth thoughts.

“Dear host.”

Jia Xitong, who left after him, stood at the entrance of the main hall of Xianlong Peak and waved to him.

A moment later, the peak master, who was supposed to be discussing the next steps, left his seat in full view of everyone and quickly walked towards her.

The door frame was ajar, blocking their prying eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked, looking down.

"Today, Yimeng Academy is leaving, and we're going to see Senior Bai Yu off."

Jia Xitong is very adept at social interaction. "Also, I have to teach Gao Xiang and the others this afternoon, so you won't see me until tonight."

"Okay, sure."

Shang Yanting nodded. "Be careful, don't go to remote or sparsely populated places."

“I know! I’ll go with my fellow students.”

After saying that, Jia Xitong looked at his face and couldn't help but giggle when she thought that such a handsome man was now her boyfriend. "Squat down a bit, I have a secret to tell you!"

Aren't they whispering to each other right now?

Although Shang Yanting thought this way, he still leaned down to listen...

The people inside didn't know what they were talking about, but they felt awe at the boss's authority and curiosity about his private affairs. A group of people pricked up their ears, when suddenly they heard Xi Tong say very loudly, "I'll be back this evening, bye-bye."

Then the sound of footsteps rang out and then disappeared.

A moment later, Shang Yanting walked in from outside the door.

The people inside didn't know what had happened, but the peak master's already crimson lips seemed even redder than when he had gone out...

##

Since Jia Xitong's wild analysis at the martial arts forum that day, and the subsequent admissions by the higher-ups on both sides, the relationship between the two institutions has indeed grown much closer.

On the day the disciples of Yimeng Academy left, not only those from Xianlong Peak came to see them off, but also many ordinary disciples.

Everyone had someone to see them off.

"Fellow Daoist Liao, don't you really like storybooks? I've found the storybooks for the latest two volumes of Journey to the West. If any new ones come out in the future, I'll mail them to you."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, these are the insights we gained from discussing martial arts cultivation, which I have transcribed."

"Senior Brother Wang, I remember that our Yimeng Academy's library has the second volume of the Heart Sutra. I will definitely have someone deliver it to you another day."

...

What a harmonious scene!

Thinking back to the last time I left Yimeng College, it was just as lively, but instead of a long farewell, it was a challenge.

"Senior Bai Yu!"

Jia Xitong scanned the crowd.

Bai Yu Zhenjun had white hair reaching his waist and was dressed in white. Standing in the crowd, he seemed to be outside the hustle and bustle, and was easily recognized at a glance.

Upon seeing Jia Xitong's appearance, Baiyu Zhenjun was also taken aback.

He hadn't expected the two of them to come and see him off.

"Young friend, talisman master; young friend, array master."

He looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.

"Senior Bai Yu, I apologize for not being able to entertain you properly this time."

Jia Xitong, holding a box full of books, said, "These are some of the unique storybooks from our Dingtian Academy. We hope they can help you pass the time when you're bored."

She originally intended to give something else.

However, True Monarch Baiyu certainly has no shortage of cultivation techniques and magical artifacts, and they might even be better than mine.

Special delicacies? Master Baiyu has already abstained from grains, so he certainly doesn't need them.

As for other local specialties of Dingtian Academy... it seems there aren't any.

After much thought, she decided that since Bai Yu Zhenjun enjoyed reading so much, she should give him a set of books. Although it wasn't an expensive gift, it was a small token of her affection.

Thank you.
