Before class, Professor Fan called the roll as per the usual practice. He was quite responsible. He only started talking about the homework assigned last time after the class officially started.

After listening to the content of the first class, Gao Han knew that what Professor Fan taught last semester was the identification of various materials, and understanding the characteristics and functions of all materials, as well as the extraction of materials. The higher the purity of the extracted materials, the better.

This semester, the first class assignment is also to refine the purity of materials. The difference is that this time the material refining is more difficult.

The ore distributed by the school along the way not only grew in a place with radiation, but also contained a lot of impurities.

In the last class, Gao Han didn't do much with the ore after he brought it back. He only refined it three times. The ore shrunk from the size of a fist to one-fourth of its size.

The person who refined the ore to the highest purity was the genius Yuan Zhe. He refined it five times in total, and one-third of the size became one-fifth, getting the highest score. Gao Han, who had refined it three times, was on the edge of passing and performed mediocrely, receiving several obscure looks.

After class, Gao Han followed everyone out of the Equipment Refining Academy. Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of him. Several girls screamed and ran past him at the same time, leaving a whirlwind behind.

"What happened?" Some male students were confused and immediately pulled a girl with whom they had a good relationship to ask.

"Senior Ye is back. Don't pull me. I want to go see Senior Ye!" The girl's face was red, as if she was going to meet her lover.

"What's going on? Who is Senior Ye?" a real transfer student asked in confusion.

The boy next to him looked down upon him, "You don't even know Senior Ye. That's Sima Ye, one of the two famous names of Penglai University."

The transfer student slowly reacted, his eyes suddenly widened, "You mean Nan Zhongli and Bei Sima? Oh my god, I heard of Nan Zhongli and Bei Sima before I came to Penglai University, and I was attracted by them. They are my idols! I want to go see them too."

After saying that, he ran away. The boys who originally wanted to tell him the story of "Zhongli in the South and Sima in the North" had to hold it in.

"What are Nan Zhongli and Bei Sima?" A cold voice suddenly sounded in the boy's ears.

The boy looked up suddenly, staring at Gao Han who was asking the question with shining eyes, "This classmate doesn't know? I have to explain this to you. As a student of Penglai University, don't tell your female classmates that you don't know Nan Zhongli and Bei Sima, otherwise they will eat you alive."

"Nan Zhongli refers to the Zhongli family, one of the oldest families in China, with a history of more than a thousand years. Sima refers to the Sima family, which is on par with the Zhongli family and is known as the largest family in China, with a profound heritage and far-reaching influence. However, the Nan Zhongli and Bei Sima here do not refer to these two families, but two people."

"Bei Sima is the senior Ye I just mentioned. His full name is Sima Ye. He is a genius that appears once in a thousand years in the Sima family. He has displayed extraordinary intelligence and talent for cultivation since he was a child. He broke through to the peak of the fifth-level upper level at the age of fifteen, and reached the fourth-level intermediate level at the age of twenty. Now he is twenty-five. It is rumored that he has broken through to the third level, but no one knows whether it is true or not." The boy blinked.

"What about Nan Zhongli?" Gao Han asked again.

The boy seemed to be waiting for his words, smiling: "Nan Zhongli is Zhongli Tingzhou, my male god. My male god is even more legendary than Sima Ye. He is elegant and graceful. Not to mention his appearance, he is the most beautiful man in China. Just talking about his talent, there is no one more enchanting than him in the whole China. If Sima Ye appears once in a thousand years, then my male god appears once in ten thousand years."

"The male god broke through the peak of the fifth-level upper level three years earlier than Sima Ye, and reached the fourth-level intermediate level at least five years earlier than Sima Ye. As for now, at the age of twenty-six, no one knows how strong he is. The male god often keeps to himself."

"If it weren't for the existence of my male god, Sima Ye's birth should have been the Sima family's proudest thing. It's just because of my male god that the Sima family didn't dare to hold a big banquet to celebrate."

"It's a pity, the male god is good in every way except his personality." The boy sighed.

Except for the two four-character idioms at the beginning, the rest are basically correct, and Gao Han also agrees with this point. The character of that fake white rabbit is not just special, it is terrible.

"It is said that the only thing that can be compared to the male god's rare talent is his icy face." The boy looked distressed.

"Sima Ye has an approachable personality. Although his talent, strength and looks are not as good as the male god, he is more popular than the male god in Penglai University because he is easy to get along with and will not keep people away. If you ask me, this is despicable and shameless, selling a persona."

"Many girls think that male gods are like flowers on a mountain top, which can only be admired from afar and not touched. In comparison, they prefer the amiable Sima Ye. They are really blind."

Is the person they know...really the same person?

Gao Han was very suspicious.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with my idol being like this. Geniuses are different from ordinary people, and I don't look down on ordinary people. I just have a naturally cold personality." The boy comforted himself again.

Gao Han originally had a hunch that this Nan Zhongli might be Zhongli Tingzhou, but now he was confused again. It was impossible for them to be twins. It was impossible for them to have the same name. "Senior... do they go out often?"

"It's normal for seniors to go out frequently. Although the school also provides some resources for cultivation, the stronger you are, the more resources you need. Except for the first year, the resources provided by the school can't meet the needs afterwards. So some students start going out on missions in their second year." Gao Han's innocent inquiry greatly satisfied the boy's psychological need for popular science, so he said a little more.

"Wouldn't it be difficult to see them at school?" Gao Han thought that Zhongli Tingzhou had come back frequently recently, but obviously hadn't alarmed anyone.

"Of course, especially those famous seniors, but it's not that I don't see them all the time. Usually they go on missions for two months at most, half a month at least, or come back once a month. There are also school ranking competitions, but..." The boy paused and said dejectedly, "My idol hasn't participated in the ranking competitions for two consecutive years."

"If I don't participate, will I not get a ranking?" Gao Han asked.

"Of course, the school is very strict. Although the male god is very capable, he won't get a ranking if he doesn't participate, so the male god has been at the bottom for two consecutive years." The boy seemed to have thought of something and started to show off again, "But everyone knows their own place. Last year, there were people vying to be ranked second to last, just to be ranked with the male god, so that they could tell others in the future that they were also people who had been ranked with the male god."

"This ranking should be of great use. Senior grades do not need to be divided into classes like junior grades. Isn't the nature of the ranking competition different?" Gao Han immediately grasped the key point.

The boy was surprised for a moment and then explained: "Yes, it is said that this ranking competition is related to some quota, but I don't know what it is specifically."

"Thank you, classmate." Gao Han curled his lips towards him in a friendly manner.

The boy was stunned. He didn't react until the person left. He couldn't help but touch his nose. He didn't realize that this person was quite handsome, especially when he smiled. He was almost as handsome as Sima Ye.

Gao Han wanted to confirm whether the Zhongli Tingzhou the boy was talking about was the Zhongli Tingzhou he had been with for two months. The person he heard from others was so different from the one he knew that he was not sure.

On the communicator, Zhongli Tingzhou has not replied to the message he sent last night until now. This has never happened before. He can't help but wonder if something has happened.

Gao Han decided to go to Zhongli Tingzhou's villa tonight, although he didn't have high expectations. Every time he went in, the villa didn't look like anyone was living there.

In the evening, he roasted a few pieces of meat, put them in a box to keep them warm, put them in the storage items and went to the villa.

Because Sima Ye came back, the villa area, which was originally sparsely populated, began to have a few houses brightly lit. Occasionally, one or two people could be seen on the road, all running in one direction, which was the direction of Zhongli Tingzhou's villa.

When approaching the villa, Gao Han saw from afar a group of people surrounding a dazzling and gentle man walking by.

With just one glance, he confirmed that he had seen this man before. He had met him once in Qing City, but it was only a unilateral meeting on his part.

The night the apartment building where he and Zhongli Tingzhou lived was attacked by several octopus monsters, the two were trapped under rocks. He had seen this man when he came out. He was dealing with the octopus monsters at the time and he was very strong, so he took a closer look.

Seeing them walking into the next door to Zhongli Tingzhou's villa, if he guessed correctly, the man was Sima Ye. According to the ranking of the villas, the second villa should be his residence.

Gao Han suddenly hesitated. There were people in the villa next door. If he went in now, the chance of being discovered was very high. He didn't want anyone to know about his relationship with Zhongli Tingzhou.

…

"What's wrong?" Yu Mingyang was the young man who went to Qing City with Sima Ye. He suddenly looked back when he saw him.

"Nothing, I seemed to see a stranger." Sima Ye just noticed a gaze and turned around to see the other person's back as he turned and left.

"Since you are a stranger, what's there to see? Come in quickly, and celebrate our great harvest tonight." Yu Mingyang immediately pulled him into the villa and closed the door at the same time.

Sima Ye smiled helplessly and said, "There's no need to celebrate, some people haven't come back yet."

Yu Mingyang knew who he was talking about as soon as he heard it. The only person that Brother Ye cared about was that annoying guy named Zhongli. "That guy has disappeared for so long, who knows if he is still alive."

"Mingyang, don't say that." Sima Ye frowned, knowing that he was doing it for himself, his expression softened and he said, "I heard from my grandfather that he has returned to Zhongli's home and will come to school in two days. Don't say that in front of him."

Yu Mingyang's expression did not improve, but became even uglier. "He didn't show up in the previous two sessions. Could it be that he plans to participate in this session? Why didn't he show up at any other time, but at this time? This person must have done it on purpose!"

Whenever this matter is mentioned, he can't help but get angry, so he has to move on.
