Fan Xiaoling and Mingren were a little worried, afraid that Wen Qi was just trying to be stubborn, so they decided to show their comradeship and take good care of her.
Having learned from the last lesson, Mingren cleverly pushed Fan Xiaoling over to ask.
Wen Qi smiled and said, "We had agreed before he left that we would go on a trip during the summer vacation, and Feng Ce would have to work overtime after he returned. Of course, I can't always disturb him."
Fan Xiaoling: Sorry! We are sorry for disturbing you!
She turned around and walked away expressionlessly. Who did she offend? Whoever wants to eat this dog food can eat it! Anyway, she is tired of it!
Mingren, who was far away, saw her coming back so soon, and couldn't help but greet her in confusion. After listening, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth. If he asked one more question about Wen Qi and Feng Ce in the future, he would volunteer to be eaten by Taotie! Of course, although they said so on the surface, they were still relieved in their hearts. It was good that nothing happened.
With anticipation, the days of going back and forth between the grave and the ground passed faster, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the semester.
Mingren left last month. Before leaving, he left his contact information for Wenqi and said that he planned to settle down in Yunhai in a while and would contact her then.
Now, it was Wen Qi and Fan Xiaoling's turn to leave.
There are so many cultural relics in the tomb that it may take another two months to get them all out. Yunhai and the research institute are dispatching reinforcements, who will be in place in the next few days. In addition, there has been no trouble in the past two months, so Wen Qi's protection work can be completely completed.
As a sophomore, Fan Xiaoling only needs two months of observation and internship. She does not need to take any exams at the end of the semester and only needs to submit a paper at the beginning of her junior year.
On the way back, Fan Xiaoling felt happy at one moment and wanted to cry at another.
She was so happy that she could finally go home and eat the delicious food made by her parents. She was so greedy.
She was crying because of the paper! She is only a sophomore, why does she have to write a paper? She can actually take the exam! Really! She has been studying on her own for the past two months, and her classmates have helped her highlight the key points!
The professor felt that replacing thesis writing with exam was a preferential treatment, but for Fan Xiaoling, the difficulty increased by more than a little!
Wen Qi patted her head comfortingly, "It's okay, go back and look up more information, and combined with the experience of the past two months, it won't be that difficult."
Fan Xiaoling stared at her and gritted her teeth, "Why do you not have to write a paper when it's just an internship?"
Wen Qi raised an eyebrow. "My role in the team is different from yours. Besides, I have already negotiated terms with the department before coming here. I will start my internship next semester. I just need to go back and take an exam at the end of the semester. Of course, the same applies this semester."
Fan Xiaoling was stunned. "You won't come to class next semester?"
Wen Qi nodded, "Why? Can't bear to leave me?"
Fan Xiaoling did not comment, but just said: "Then I will be the only one left in the dormitory, will anyone else move in?" When she thought about other people moving into her and Wen Qi's dormitory, she subconsciously began to feel repulsive, as if her territory was being invaded.
"That won't happen." Wen Qi said with a smile, "I'm not leaving the dormitory. I'll go back to live there during the final exams, and I might go back to join in the fun if there are any activities during the week."
Fan Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more relaxed. "Where are you going to intern? The Tianshi Association?"
"No." Wen Qi was used to freedom and was not the type to listen to other people's orders. Being a nominal consultant was already her limit. She smiled and said, "Working for others is not as comfortable as being your own boss. I plan to open a Tianshi firm and recruit a few freelance Tianshi as employees."
Fan Xiaoling's heart moved and she wanted to say that she could go, but on second thought, she couldn't bring herself to say it. After all, she was just an intern Taoist priest and couldn't take any commissions. If she worked as an assistant, she wouldn't have that much time, and she still had to go to class.
"So, Xiaoling." Wen Qi held her head, smiling and expectant, "You should work harder this summer and pass the junior heavenly master's license exam first."
Fan Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up, "Can I take the exam for the license?"
Wen Qi thought about it and realized that Fan Xiaoling learned talismans very quickly. In just one year, she had mastered the basics of Heavenly Master. Although it would be a bit difficult for her to take the exam now, she might be able to pass with a low score if she was lucky.
Of course, Wen Qi would not tell the truth. Children still need encouragement. So she nodded vigorously and said affirmatively: "Of course, with your current ability, there is absolutely no problem with the junior practitioner certificate."
Fan Xiaoling's eyes lit up a little, "After I pass the practice certificate exam, can I go to your firm for an internship?"
Wen Qi nodded without hesitation, "Of course, otherwise why would I ask you to take the exam? Since I brought you into this industry, I will not abandon you halfway. As long as you believe in me, I will always be your guide."
Fan Xiaoling's eyes warmed up, she grabbed Wen Qi's hand and said, "Besides my parents, you are the one I trust the most."
Wen Qi patted her hands and said, "When you successfully pass the Tianshi Primary Practice Certificate Assessment, I will prepare a gift for you."
That’s right, the crossbow brought out from Feng Ce’s treasury has not yet been handed over to Fan Xiaoling because the time is not right. Giving it to her too early will only deepen her dependence on the magic weapon.
At the very least, Fan Xiaoling would have to rely entirely on her own abilities to pass the junior heavenly master professional certification test.
Fan Xiaoling was immediately full of motivation and enthusiasm. "I will review all the rune spells you taught me before. There are still more than two months left, and I can become even stronger!"
The Tianshi professional certificate examination is held once a year, and is conducted at the same time for junior, intermediate and senior levels. Of course, the examination content and venue are completely different, and it is divided into two parts: competition and actual combat.
Fan Xiaoling is very confident about the written test. She also has experience in the actual test, so she should be able to... No! She can definitely do it!
After returning to Yunhai City, the two separated.
Fan Xiaoling ran home without stopping, reviewing runes in the morning and looking up information and writing papers in the afternoon. She was very busy.
Wen Qi went back to take his final exams and then went traveling with Feng Ce.
It was originally just a honeymoon trip for the two of them, but after Xing Kai and Zhou Xuyang, who came to meet Feng Ce, found out about it, it immediately turned into a friendship-building activity.
Zhou Xuyang gave the reason, "Ran Ran and I have been married for so long, and she has never been back to her parents' home. This time I have the opportunity to travel and let Ran Ran come home to visit. It's killing two birds with one stone!"
What else could Wen Qi say? She could only smile and say yes! She thought positively, she had never been to the ancient village in southern Xinjiang, so this time she just happened to broaden her horizons.
Wen Qi agreed, and Feng Ce nodded as well.
In the end, Xing Kai was the only one left, but his thoughts were not important.
After landing in southern Xinjiang, the group of five stood at the exit waiting for the homestay car to pick them up.
Xing Kai lowered his head and swiped his phone while introducing them, "This insect homestay has just opened and has been very popular recently. The houses inside are all named after insects, and the decoration of the houses is also based on the colors of insects. It is very beautiful."
Wen Qi frowned slightly, expressing his doubt.
Liu Ran, on the other hand, showed an interested look and nodded in praise, "The owner of this B&B has great taste!"
Not long after, the B&B's car arrived. It was a seven-seater commercial vehicle and was quite expensive.
Xing Kai whistled when he saw this. "No wonder everyone says the service at this B&B is so good. They're willing to use a car like this to pick up guests. It's really amazing."
Zhou Xuyang pushed him and said, "Stop drooling and get in the car."
The driver got out of the car to help them put their luggage away, smiling politely the whole time.
Xing Kai sat in the passenger seat, Feng Ce and Zhou Xuyang sat in the second row, and Wen Qi and Liu Ran sat in the back.
Before setting off, the driver politely said, "It's a long journey, please fasten your seat belts."
Xing Kai opened the navigation and took a look. "More than 40 kilometers, it's indeed a bit far. We are out of the city, right?"
The driver replied: "Yes, our homestay is located near the Miaojiang Ancient Village. Generally, tourists who book our homestay come here to visit the ancient village."
Xing Kai smiled, "Yes, yes, we came here just for the ancient village. We want to see the mysterious poisonous insects."
The driver smiled and said, "That is the secret of the ancient village. Most people can't see it, but our boss is from the ancient village. Maybe he can satisfy your wish."
Liu Ran in the back seat raised her eyebrows, "Your boss can raise Gu? What's his last name?"
The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror and said softly, "The boss's surname is Jin."
Liu Ran's eyes flashed and he stopped talking.
Wen Qi looked at her and asked silently.
Liu Ran glanced at the driver, took out his phone and typed something for her to see.
Liu Ran: Jin was originally a big surname in our Miao area. They created many poisonous insects. But one day ten years ago, the newly bred poisonous insects got out of control. After the owner escaped, it killed anyone it saw. By the time they were discovered, almost all the people with this surname were dead, and the poisonous insect that caused the disaster was also missing.
Wen Qi: Do you suspect that the owner of this insect hotel is from the original Jin family? Liu Ran: We have to be on guard. If it is true, the poisonous insect that killed more than a hundred people in the Jin family might be on him.
Wen Qi's expression also became a little more serious and he nodded to show that he understood.
After about forty minutes, the business car came down from the highway and turned into a mountain road.
The driver said, "It will take about ten minutes to get to the B&B."
Feng Ce turned around and glanced at Wen Qi, who nodded imperceptibly.
Seeing this, Liu Ran took out her phone again and asked: What's wrong? Wen Qi typed on her phone: When I turned into the small road just now, I passed through a barrier. There is indeed a problem here, but it is not certain whether it was done by the B&B or someone else, so it is better to be careful.
Ten minutes later, the business car stopped outside a five-story bamboo building with a large courtyard.
It was getting dark now, and the colorful lights hanging on the bamboo house were all lit up, looking very beautiful.
After Wen Qi got off the car, he looked around and found nothing unusual. It looked like an ordinary B&B. Could it be that the barrier really had nothing to do with the B&B?
The driver helped them carry their luggage down, and the five of them went to the front desk on the first floor to check in.
When I got the room card, the girl at the front desk said, "There will be a bonfire dinner in the courtyard at night. If you don't feel tired, you can come down and play with us. If you want to rest, remember to close the doors and windows. The sound insulation of our homestay is pretty good."
The five people smiled and thanked him, then walked up the stairs.
Xing Kai, Zhou Xuyang and Liu Ran live on the third floor, and Wen Qi and Feng Ce live on the fourth floor.
After agreeing to meet downstairs in half an hour, the five of them separated at the stairs.
I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't have a day off today.
