"I see."
Jiang Wuyuan felt that everyone around him was showing signs of turning into a mother hen.
Am I really that troublesome?
Jiang Wuyuan went through his actions over the past few days in his mind with some doubt, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with them.
Never mind, it's all for his own good after all.
——
The celebration lasted all night.
The next day, at dawn.
The scene was left only with the desolation after the revelry.
Jiang Wuyuan didn't play with them until too late and went to his tent to rest early, so he's in good spirits now.
Si Kai and Qin Tianan, on the other hand, played almost from beginning to end, drinking countless amounts of wine.
Fortunately, practitioners are much less sensitive to alcohol and rarely get drunk, nor do they experience any hangovers or headaches.
So when the many schools gathered to prepare for their return journey, everyone stood here full of energy.
Not far in front of them, a man dressed in a general's uniform stood in mid-air, his gaze majestic yet gentle, tenderly watching over all the students.
"Hello everyone, I am Lu Xingchuan."
The man didn't speak loudly, but his voice resonated in everyone's ears: "I sincerely thank each and every one of you who came to the front lines to support the battle. I know that perhaps some of you have already sacrificed your lives. But I hope that we will forever remember their heroic and fearless figures and pay them the highest respect!"
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
After last night's almost numbing pleasure, Lu Xingchuan cruelly reopened everyone's wounds.
There will always be sacrifices in war.
Even Jiang Wuyuan's pupils trembled slightly before gradually calming down.
Knowing that he had achieved his goal, Lu Xingchuan stopped talking about it.
He was also afraid that these kids would get too cocky, so he wanted to curb their arrogance.
"Now let's talk about something more cheerful. The military has decided that every student who comes to support the front lines will receive a military merit point reward! The specific amount will be based on individual contributions."
Once you return to school, if you wish to exchange your military merit points for items, you can go directly to the military headquarters in your respective cities to make the exchange.
Whoosh—
Unlike the previous somber mood, this news was met with cheers from almost the entire audience.
Military merit points are far more valuable than academic credits!
"Finally, may our little heroes return home safely." Lu Xingchuan smiled, a rare occurrence, and waved to his adjutant beside him, signaling him to organize the students to board the ship.
Because the four universities had the largest number of students and teachers, they essentially booked an entire large spaceship.
The remaining universities were allocated two more spaceships.
As usual, Jiang Wuyuan sat between Ruan Kongyin and Qin Tianan.
The journey back was much busier than the journey there.
When they arrived, there was only one academy; now the entire spaceship is made up of four academies.
Normally, the four universities are used to competing with each other.
Now that the teachers don't care, you can hear a few defiant words full of youthful spirit every now and then throughout the cabin.
"Hmph, Lu is nothing special. I didn't expect him to not even kill a single fifth-tier magical beast."
"Student Qi is just as bad."
"You Huaxia Academy are all talk and no action. If you're so capable, why don't you have a one-on-one fight with our Jiangnan Academy!"
"Fighting is prohibited on the spaceship. Please follow the rules, student."
Jiang Wuyuan listened quietly, finding it quite amusing.
Suddenly, a figure walked towards Ruan Kongyin's direction.
Jiang Wuyuan slightly raised his eyes and saw a face that looked exactly like Ruan Kongyin.
However, the owner of this face is a woman.
"Cousin," Ruan Kongling said with a smile as she approached, "It's been a long time!"
That's not right either. It's been a year!
Ruan Kongyin's lips twitched, and she slightly turned to avoid the woman's clutches: "Cousin, there are still people here."
There were other people around, so they gave me some face.
Ruan Kongling shrugged, accepted Ruan Kongyin's silent request, and withdrew her hand with some disappointment.
My younger brother was so easy to bully when he was little, but now that he's grown up, he's started to care about his image in front of others.
"Ahem." Ruan Kongyin coughed twice. "Cousin, is there something you need?"
"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?" Ruan Kongling accused innocently. "Really? My cousin doesn't even want to see me?"
"You can come to me." Ruan Kongyin spoke up in time to stop Ruan Kongling from continuing her nonsense. To avoid embarrassment, she deliberately changed the subject: "How was the harvest this time?"
"Not bad~ Using military merit points as rewards can make a fortune." Ruan Kongling replied with a smile, her gaze involuntarily falling on Jiang Wuyuan, "This... little classmate? You look unfamiliar. Are you the classmate you recently recruited into the hunting group, cousin?"
"Yes, his name is Jiang Wuyuan." Ruan Kongyin seemed unwilling to discuss Jiang Wuyuan with this woman further and quickly moved on.
Hearing the two talking about him, Jiang Wuyuan nodded slightly in Ruan Kongling's direction as a greeting.
"He's so handsome~" Ruan Kongling's eyes lit up, and she raised her arm to reach out and touch Jiang Wuyuan's face, but Ruan Kongyin stopped her in time.
"Stop fooling around," Ruan Kongyin said helplessly.
He knew his cousin too well; she was not only a total looks-obsessed person, but also liked to get handsy.
If you were to touch it, Xiao Yuan might be able to draw his sword.
Ruan Kongling withdrew her hand again, realizing that her behavior was somewhat inappropriate.
In order to leave a good impression on Jiang Wuyuan, she tried to cover up her behavior: "It's mainly because this young man is too handsome that I couldn't resist~ I'm so sorry."
