"An admission letter?"
Lin Shuguang opened the file and saw an admission letter from Modu Martial School. The addressee was none other than Lin Shuguang himself.
He lowered his head to check the date.
He froze. "Director Si, does that mean I have to go next week? Not with the new students?"
It was only May, and the College Entrance Examination had not even started yet, but he already had to report to Demon Martial?
Si Qianjun smiled. "You're different from them. You're going for civil servant further training, so naturally, you'll have an advantage over them in both benefits and cultivation resources. Going to Demon Martial early will let you get used to the pace there ahead of time."
Lin Shuguang put the admission letter away again, his face full of "reluctance." "Having to leave so suddenly, I really do feel a little reluctant..."
Unconsciously, he rubbed his fingers together as though counting money...
Si Qianjun's smile immediately vanished. Shutting out everything around him, he lowered his head and focused on picking through the tea leaves in the box, one leaf at a time.
Behind him, someone called out again and again, "Director Si! Director Si!! I've shed blood for the Special Management Bureau-"
That evening.
Lin Shuguang returned home. Father Lin and Mother Lin were both sitting in the living room.
As soon as she saw him return, his younger sister, Lin Xiaoxi, came pattering over. She was so small that she could only just hug his thigh, and she said in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother, I got full marks on my test today."
Lin Shuguang closed the door. "Not bad. You haven't disgraced our family."
"..." Having failed to hear the reward she wanted, Lin Xiaoxi tried phrasing it differently. "Brother, I got full marks.
