Blocked? Good thing it's blocked!

A few days later, Ning Wangshu took advantage of the weekend to move back into their original house with his younger sister, Ning Ruoxuan.

Moving was effortless for Ning Wangshu—he simply stored everything into his Storage Ring, then took it all out and arranged it neatly once they arrived at the house.

The siblings didn't take much time to get settled.

As the end of the semester approached, Ning Ruoxuan entered an intense review period, preparing for her upcoming exams.

Of course, she also continued her cultivation every day.

When Ning Ruoxuan successfully broke through to Qi Refining Layer 1 Late Stage, Ning Wangshu began teaching her some simple combat techniques and a few small Magic...

Before they knew it, it was already late June.

The College Entrance Examination scores were finally available for inquiry.

Ning Wangshu himself hadn't even thought about it. It wasn't until his sister came home from school at noon and specifically ran back to ask him that he remembered the scores could be checked.

"Brother, I think you can check the College Entrance Exam scores today. Have you looked yet?"

Ning Ruoxuan asked excitedly as soon as she entered the house.

Ning Wangshu was taken aback and said sheepishly, "The scores are available? I didn't notice. Haven't checked yet!"

"Brother, hurry up and see how many points you got!"

Ning Ruoxuan urged immediately.

"Alright."

Ning Wangshu smiled and took out his phone to check his College Entrance Exam scores.

However, when he saw that the query result was completely blank, with no subject scores displayed, he couldn't help but freeze.

Ning Ruoxuan, who was leaning in close, also saw it and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Yi, what's going on? Brother, why aren't your scores showing up!"

"But today's the day they started releasing scores..."

Ning Wangshu was also puzzled, but soon he noticed a small line of text at the bottom of the score inquiry page. It read: Your ranking has entered the Top 50 in Province. Please check again on the 27th for details.

Seeing this line, Ning Wangshu paused, then couldn't help but smile. "I didn't expect my total score to make it into the Top 50 in Province. My results are temporarily blocked."

At that moment, Ning Ruoxuan also noticed the small text and immediately cried out in delight, "Brother, you made the Top 50 in Province! That's amazing!"

Watching his sister's excited expression, Ning Wangshu couldn't help but smile as well.

Still, he wasn't too concerned about it.

Since his sister's goal for next year's College Entrance Exam was Jiangnan University, he had already decided that no matter what his exact score was, as long as it was enough to get into Jiangnan University, he would apply there directly.

To him, which university he attended made no difference.

As long as he fulfilled his Parents' dying wish!

"Brother, let's make a nice dinner tonight to celebrate you getting into the Top 50 in Province!"

Ning Ruoxuan said happily.

"Sure! I'll go buy some extra groceries later."

Ning Wangshu replied with a smile.

"Hmm!"

Ning Ruoxuan nodded firmly. Then she added expectantly, "Top 50 in Province! Brother, with this ranking, you could probably go straight to Qingbei. I never thought my brother could get into Qingbei. If Parents knew, they'd be so happy!"

Hearing this, Ning Wangshu just smiled faintly. "Maybe. But I might not necessarily go to Qingbei."

"Hmm?"

Ning Ruoxuan was startled and asked in confusion, "Brother, if you're not going to Qingbei, which school are you planning to go to?"

Ning Wangshu smiled. "Didn't you say before that you wanted to apply to Jiangnan University? How about I go to Jiangnan University first and wait for you there?"

Ning Ruoxuan opened her mouth, then couldn't help saying, "Brother, you don't have to give up the chance at Qingbei just for me and choose Jiangnan University instead. That would be such a waste of your score."

Ning Wangshu chuckled. "There's no such thing as wasting it. Have you forgotten what kind of person your Older Brother is? Does it make any difference to me whether I go to this university or that one, or even whether I go to university at all?"

"It's just that going to university was Parents' wish while they were alive, so that's why I took this year's College Entrance Exam and plan to attend. So really, which specific university I go to is all the same."

"Or do you think I'll need a diploma from some university to find a job and make a living in the future?"

Uh...

Ning Ruoxuan paused. She just hadn't adjusted her mindset yet, but now that Ning Wangshu had pointed it out, she suddenly realized.

That's right—her brother was practically an "immortal." Why would he need to chase after good schools and good majors like ordinary people, just to land a decent job in the future?

For her brother, this really made no difference...

So Ning Ruoxuan nodded, but still couldn't help muttering, "Even if that's true, I still think it's a bit of a waste of such a high score."

Ning Wangshu laughed. "Jiangnan University isn't bad either. It's still one of the top few prestigious schools in the country. Plus, it's close to home, so if anything comes up, I can get back as fast as possible."

"Besides, you're the only younger sister I have now. You want to apply to Jiangnan University, and your grades have a very good chance of getting in. So I'll go over there first and wait for you. Isn't that a good thing?"

"So we can stay in the same school, big brother and little sister..."

As the siblings spoke, Ning Wangshu's phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Homeroom Teacher Qin Feng calling.

So Ning Wangshu answered the call immediately...

"Hello, Teacher Qin, you called me—is there something you need?"

Ning Wangshu asked.

Soon, Qin Feng's voice came through the phone: "Ning Wangshu, today you can check your College Entrance Examination scores. How about it, have you checked your own score yet?"

Although Ning Wangshu had been missing for over three months, before the exam, the subject teachers had privately given him past exam papers to test, and his total score reached over 700 points. This made Qin Feng hold great expectations for Ning Wangshu's performance in this College Entrance Examination.

That was why he called to ask right away.

Hearing this, Ning Wangshu replied with a smile, "Hmm, I just checked. But my score was blocked—I won't be able to see it until the 27th."

"Blocked?"

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then burst into great joy. "Blocked is good! Blocked is great! Haha, looks like our class might produce a Qingbei student!"

Qin Feng's voice was filled with surprise.

Ning Wangshu didn't bother telling Qin Feng that he had no intention of going to Qingbei at all. He simply exchanged a few brief words on the phone and quickly hung up.

On the other side, after putting down his phone, Qin Feng's face was full of excitement.

The other teachers in the office had already gathered around...

"Teacher Qin, what's going on? A student from your class had their score technically blocked?"

"I just heard you mention a Qingbei student—really? Which student from your class did so well they made the provincial top ranks?"

"Is it Lin Qingzhu? Or Zhang Dongxu? I remember those two are the best in your class, right? But from what I recall, their scores are still quite far from Qingbei's level. Did they overperform on this exam?"

Listening to the other teachers' questions, Qin Feng couldn't help but grin and say, "It's Ning Wangshu! His College Entrance Examination score was technically blocked. As for Teacher Qi's mention of Lin Qingzhu and Zhang Dongxu, I haven't had time to call and ask about their scores yet."
