"You still have to go and see for yourself."

Looking at the information passed by the expedition team, Zheng Fa pondered for a moment and said.

That's not to say that the expedition team Aunt Ye found didn't pay attention.

On the contrary, these are probably professionals who have conducted very detailed inspections.

The information sent included not only photos, but also some geographical information collected locally.

There are even some videos taken with drones.

But <Spirit Mountain Method> is not the Cultivation Method of this world after all. Some of the discussions in Sect Leader in <Spirit Vein Treatise> are a bit mysterious in modern eyes and cannot be explained.

Only by going there in person can he truly determine whether the place is suitable for <Spirit Mountain Method>.

"At least two places have been ruled out." Tang Lingwu on the side nodded, and comforted, "There are still two places, let's find time to check them out."

Zheng Fa thought about it and felt a little distressed, "College Entrance Exam We don't have time before now."

Now they only have one day off every two weeks.

A trip to Capital City would take a long time at least.

In addition to the inspection in the mountains, two or three days are not enough.

But he also wants to confirm the location of Nursing Home as soon as possible - now he has Fifth Layer of Qi Refinement, and it is only two or three months away from the Seventh Layer of Qi Refinement Realm.

It is best to start construction on Aunt Ye before Seventh Layer of Qi Refinement Realm.

"Isn't it okay to ask for leave?"

"Old Chen This person..." Zheng Fa shook his head slightly. "He is a worry-taker."

Old Chen He has been his class teacher for almost three years.

What kind of character he is, Zheng Fa can also tell a little bit about it - this teacher is so responsible that he is like a mother-in-law.

"Worry..."

"It's easy to ask for leave if you want." Zheng Fa explained to Tang Lingwu, "You don't have to go to class in the first place. What's more, it's convenient to ask your mother to ask for leave... But I can't."

Tang Lingwu immediately understood what Zheng Fa meant.

Zheng Fa has no parents...

Plus, we live within the school.

If you skip a class at any time, you will easily be stuck at home.

With Old Chen's worrying personality, Zheng Fa wanted to take leave, but couldn't find a legitimate reason, let alone an adult to guarantee it.

Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said, "I'll try to ask Old Chen for leave in two days. If it doesn't work, I'll have to cut it off first and then play it out."

"That's right. We cultivators are free and easy. How can we be restricted by a false note?" Old Man Bai on the side agreed.

Tang Lingwu also nodded slightly, but his eyes were thoughtful.

Zheng Fa hasn't asked Old Chen for leave yet.

Old Chen suddenly found him.

"The school is going to have a study tour." Old Chen called Zheng Fa to the office, "Anyone who ranks among the top twenty in the monthly exam for the third year of high school can go. Sign up voluntarily."

"Study tour?" Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment and continued to ask, "Where to go?"

Old Chen also had a strange look on his face, as if he didn't quite believe the answer, "Capital City."

"..."

"It used to be a big deal to go to a provincial capital for this kind of thing... This time it's really generous. Not only did I go to Capital City, but I also took a plane back and forth, which took about three to four days in total." Old Chen had a look of dismay on his face. Understood, he said to Zheng Fa, "There are only two people in our class among the top twenty in the monthly exam this time - one is you and the other is Tang Lingwu. I have already asked Tang Lingwu."

"..." Zheng Fa's face became increasingly weird.

"She said she should go back and ask her mother. You don't have parents, so I can just ask you directly." Old Chen also added, "By the way, this study tour is free of charge."

Zheng Fa was silent for a long time, then calmed down the expression on his face and nodded seriously to Old Chen: "I'll go."

"Okay, I'll register your name for you... you can go back first."

When Zheng Fa walked to the door, he heard Old Chen muttering behind him:

"If you have this money to burn, why don't you pay me more salary?"

"..."

When he returned to the classroom, Zheng Fa couldn't help but look at Tang Lingwu who was pretending to be nonchalant.

Tang Lingwu didn't even look at him, he stared seriously at the book in front of him, not knowing where this "Data Structure and Algorithm" came from so much charm.

When he passed by the Tang Lingwu table, he caught a glimpse of the girl's lips raised slightly, as if she was a little proud.

"What did Old Chen call you for?"

Seeing him return to his seat, Wang Chen asked curiously.

"Talking about the study tour."

"Study tour?" Wang Chen's eyes lit up. "Are we going to go out for fun? Where to go? The provincial capital?"

"Go to Capital City." Looking at Wang Chen with expectant faces, Zheng Fa paused and said, "I'm going, not us... If you say so, I'll do it next time."

"What does next time mean?"

"Next time, it will be when you get ranked among the top twenty in the whole grade." Zheng Fa thought for a while and then said, "And there will also happen to be a rich little rich woman who has money but nothing to spend it on and is willing to spend money on you."

"It's a bit difficult..." Wang Chen understood, and his face couldn't help but look depressed.

"... If you work hard, maybe..." Zheng Fa still wanted to encourage him.

"Usually, I wake up laughing halfway through a dream like this..."

The day of "study tour" came soon.

There were many people going to Capital City this time.

All the top twenty students in the grade came.

I think so, a round trip to Capital City is not cheap, let alone in the name of a study tour.

Not many parents would stop it.

In addition to these twenty people, the school also sent three adults to accompany them -

Old Chen, a female teacher and a vice principal.

"When you go out, I have to be responsible for your safety." Old Chen looked at the group of students seriously and warned, "No one is allowed to go out alone. If boys want to go out, tell me, and if girls want to go out, tell me, and girls tell Teacher Wang. Follow the instructions for all actions outside, do you understand?"

Everyone nodded, both men and women, their faces couldn't stop being excited.

The bus to pick them up was waiting at the school gate very early.

The moment he saw the driver, Zheng Fa was 100% sure that this was done by Tang Lingwu--

Big Underpants, don't think I won't recognize you if you wear trousers and sunglasses today!

After getting on the bus, the vice principal and two teachers sat in the first row.

The other students filed back and found their seats to sit down.

Zheng Fa sits in the third row from the bottom, basically behind everyone.

Everyone has a tacit understanding, and unless they are familiar with each other, they all sit in a row alone.

But what makes Zheng Fa a little confused is that some boys were originally sitting in the aisle seats, but for some reason they suddenly moved to the window seats, as if they were leaving a seat for someone.

When Tang Lingwu gets on the bus and looks at the uncontrollable expectations on the boys' faces, Zheng Fa will understand...

Tang Lingwu stood at the car door, first glanced at the driver, then glanced inside the car, and walked straight towards Zheng Fa.

After she sat next to Zheng Dharma Body, Zheng Fa saw the boys silently moving back to their original positions...

"Did you arrange it?"

When Tang Lingwu heard this, she shook her head quickly, as if she refused to admit the crime. Seeing that Zheng Fa still had disbelief on her face, she explained in a low voice, "A gang commits a crime."

"?"

When he arrived at Capital City, he knew what gang crime was.

The hotel they stayed in was not expensive, just a budget hotel.

Zheng Fa was assigned to a double room with a boy he didn't know very well.

When the two of them fell into an awkward silence in the room, there was a sudden knock on the door.

As soon as the door opened, not only Tang Lingwu but also Aunt Ye stood at the door.

What surprised Zheng Fa the most was that there was also Old Man Bai.

"What are you..."

"As we walked, I said hello to your principal." Aunt Ye said softly, "Time is a little tight... It will take a few hours to enter the mountain. Let's set off tonight."

"I'll just go." Zheng Fa immediately understood what Aunt Ye meant, and he looked at the sky outside.

It's already past ten o'clock in the evening.

I guess I'll have to stay up all night to go into the mountains.

"Who can rest assured that it's so late at night?" Aunt Ye waved his hand and said, "If you are really afraid that I will be tired... just give me a massage."

"..."

Old Man Bai on the side also quickly said, "I want it too!"

Is this Nourishing Spirit Talisman addicted?

In the room upstairs, Old Chen shares a room with the vice principal.

"Huh?" Through the window, he happened to see the figure of Zheng Fa and his group. "Isn't this Zheng Fa... Where are you going to run to?"

He opened the window and was about to call Zheng Fa, when a hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Don't shout, I agree." the vice principal said with a smile.

"Ah?"

Old Chen is a little confused.

"Do you know how this study tour came about?"

"Isn't it organized by the school?"

"Ha!" The vice-principal said with an innocent look on his face, "What can we do if our school has this money?"

"..."

"To tell you the truth, someone came to my door with money, saying it was to give back to the society for sponsorship... guess who it is?"

"Don..."

The vice-principal patted Old Chen on the shoulder and said, "Besides, I was able to visit Capital University this time because someone contacted me - otherwise, where would our school's reputation come from?"

Old Chen Understood.

He looked at the backs of the Zheng Fa people and said with a bit of surprise, "So this is why Zheng Fa made our table of dumplings because of this dish of vinegar?"

"Yes!"

"But this..." Old Chen still frowned. "Zheng Fa After all, this child has no one at home, so I still have to keep a closer eye on him."

"You..." the vice-principal shook his head helplessly. "I don't want Zheng Fa to be special, so I am willing to spend a lot of money to do everything."

"Look, the students are relaxed and their horizons are broadened."

"As for the school, take some photos and write a few promotional articles, and you will be able to boast about it in the future."

At this time, there were two knocks on the door of their room.

"As for the two of us." The vice-principal opened the door and came back with a smile, carrying four bottles of beer and a large bag of kebabs. "We have gained the freedom that married men dream of!"

"Everyone is happy!"

"But Zheng Fa doesn't know whether he knows or not..." Old Chen stared at Zheng Fa's back, still a little worried.

In his sight, Zheng Fa suddenly raised his arm and waved it in mid-air.

Old Chen's phone vibrated. He picked it up and looked at it. He suddenly smiled and walked towards the room, "Huh? Principal, you still eat alone? What's the point of drinking alone? I'll accompany you!"

"Deputy!"

"I understand, principal!" Old Chen smiled and grabbed a skewer, "Sooner or later!"

Zheng Fa put down his arm, and Tang Lingwu on the side asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Give peace to a man who loves to worry." Zheng Fa replied, and asked Old Man Bai on the side, "Why are you here too?"

"Capital University, who I contacted for you, stopped by to see someone..." Old Man Bai's eyes flickered, as if he had other ideas.

"It depends on the individual?"

"A dying man."

Old Man Bai said with deep meaning in his tone.

Got it... this is to test your own brain.
