Early the next morning.
Ning Wangshu and his younger sister went to school together.
He packed his textbooks, study materials, and so on into his backpack along the way to bring with him.
He had been missing for a few months, and his textbooks, study materials, and other things had long since been taken back by his mother, Zhang Lanfang. Ning Ruoxuan had never thrown them away either; she had kept them properly stored in a cardboard box.
"Brother, then I'll head to the classroom for morning reading first..."
Ning Ruoxuan turned her head and said sweetly to Ning Wangshu.
"Mm, alright, go ahead."
Ning Wangshu replied with a smile.
After watching his sister walk toward the teaching building, he then headed in the direction of the teachers' office building. Having been missing for a few months, he first needed to go find his homeroom teacher, which was Qin Feng.
However, he had only taken a few steps out when an exclamation suddenly came from the side: "Oh, are you... Ning Wangshu??"
Ning Wangshu subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a pretty, fair-skinned, and graceful girl standing beside him, looking at him in surprise.
Seeing this girl, Ning Wangshu felt a little dazed.
Right away he remembered who the other person was, so he smiled and said: "Lin Class Beauty, it's you. Long time no see!"
The girl in front of him was his classmate, named Lin Qingzhu.
That's right, she was Lin Anguo's granddaughter!
The reason he called the other person the "class beauty" was because she truly was the recognized class beauty of the class!
In fact, whether it was her looks or her figure, Lin Qingzhu definitely belonged to the level of a campus belle. It was just that in high school, very few people had the idle time to rate campus belles or anything of the sort.
"Uh... It has been quite a long time."
Lin Qingzhu replied, unable to help giving Ning Wangshu another close look as she said: "Ning Wangshu, I have to say, after a few months of not seeing you, why do I feel like you've changed so much!"
"It's like your whole person suddenly grew several years older overnight, and you look so much more mature! But why has your skin become so white? I remember you were a bit dark before."
"The crucial point is, why is your skin so nice? It feels like it's a lot better than mine..."
Listening to her chatter on and on, Ning Wangshu couldn't help but laugh dumbly and was about to speak when, at that moment, he suddenly paused, a look of quite a bit of surprise and a bit of suspicion in his eyes as he looked at Lin Qingzhu.
Oh... Lin Qingzhu is actually a cultivator too!
Moreover, her cultivation level isn't weak either; she has actually reached Qi Refining Layer 6! To be able to cultivate to Qi Refining Layer 6 at such an age on Earth where Spiritual Qi is so thin... It seems this Lin Class Beauty is not simple!
Ning Wangshu felt quite astonished in his heart.
He completely hadn't expected that among his classmates, there would actually be the existence of a person who practiced cultivation.
Lin Qingzhu didn't seem to notice the oddness in Ning Wangshu's expression as she continued speaking: "Right, Ning Wangshu, where did you go these past few months? How come I heard you went missing? What's going on with you..."
Ning Wangshu snapped back to his senses, smiled, and said: "Nothing, it's just that some unexpected situation happened."
After finishing, he immediately changed the subject: "Alright, I won't talk with you much more for now. I still need to go find Old Teacher."
"Mm, fine. I need to hurry to the classroom for morning reading too. I'm taking off first, bye-bye..."
Lin Qingzhu waved her hand and immediately walked quickly toward the teaching building.
Looking at Lin Qingzhu's back, Ning Wangshu couldn't help secretly thinking: I actually didn't know before that there was such a person in our class. A bit interesting...
After a chuckle, Ning Wangshu withdrew his gaze and continued walking toward the teachers' office building...
Before long, Ning Wangshu arrived at Qin Feng's office.
"Teacher Qin..."
Ning Wangshu knocked on the door, and seeing that Qin Feng was sitting in front of his desk, he hurriedly called out.
Hearing this, Qin Feng immediately raised his head, and upon seeing Ning Wangshu, couldn't help smiling as he said: "Ning Wangshu, you've arrived. How is it? Have the matters at home all been settled?"
"Mm, thank you for your concern, Teacher Qin. They're already settled."
Ning Wangshu replied.
"That's good!"
Qin Feng nodded, and added: "Later I'll speak with the various subject teachers and have them help you carry out targeted crash revisions during this period. There isn't much time left until the College Entrance Examination now, so you must press on."
"Alright, go to the classroom yourself. Just sit in your original seat..."
"Okay! Teacher Qin, then I'll be leaving first..."
Ning Wangshu said hastily.
"Mm!"
When Ning Wangshu walked into the classroom, all the classmates couldn't help looking over at him one after another.
Immediately following that, a wave of buzzing discussions instantly sounded in the classroom...
"My gosh, Ning Wangshu actually came back? I thought Lin Qingzhu was joking; it's actually true!"
"He came back quite on time too. Any later and he wouldn't have made it in time for the College Entrance Examination."
"Ain't that the truth! Who knows what on earth he went to do these past few months. However, even though he's back now, there's less than half a month left until the College Entrance Examination. I'm afraid it will be very hard for him to perform at his previous level this time."
"Yeah, unless he has been continuously reviewing these past few months, his grades will definitely be affected to some extent. It just depends on how big the impact is. If the impact is quite large, then it really will be a bit of a pity. Either he can only go study at a poorer school, or he'll have to retake the year..."
Listening to the discussions of those classmates, Ning Wangshu couldn't help smiling.
Although in reality, he hadn't touched knowledge related to the College Entrance Examination for a full nine thousand years and more, he hadn't forgotten these things; it was merely that after not touching them for a long time, he was somewhat out of practice.
Spending a little time to refamiliarize himself with them, he basically would be able to return to his previous level.
Having a dozen or so days of time was simply more than enough for him.
Especially since he was now capable of photographic memory, which in the face of Chinese, English, and all subjects and questions that required reliance on memory, was completely like an existence that was cheating.
Perhaps his grades could even rise to a higher level.
Ning Wangshu didn't pay attention to the discussions of those classmates either, and of his own accord walked back to his original seat...
For the entire day that followed, Ning Wangshu spent his time flipping through the textbooks, all his previous study materials, exercise problems, and so on.
Possessing the ability of photographic memory coupled with reading ten lines at a glance, Ning Wangshu only spent a day's effort to basically look through the textbooks, all those previous study materials, and the exercise problems he had done before.
On the second day, he began trying to use the past exam papers of various subjects to test himself.
Although the scores he finally tested out still had a small gap compared to before, they didn't differ by much. Especially in subjects and question types that needed to rely on memory, he tested significantly better than he originally had.
At this rate, he only needed to spend another few days recovering the other aspects to his original level, and coupled with his current photographic memory ability, his grades would inevitably be even higher than before...
