Chapter 56 (continued)

To everyone's surprise, Lin Zhaoqin looked up, his gaze intense, and said, "Dean Si, I wish to become your disciple."

Si Kui didn't mince words, only asking, "The cultivation methods of the Nature Department are completely different from those of the Star Combat Department. Have you thought it through?"

Lin Zhaoqin said firmly, "I've thought it through!"

Si Kui said, "Alright, then you're the seventh in line."

Lin Zhaoqin and knelt down with a thud to pay his respects, saying, "Disciple greets Master!"

As she spoke, she stood up and bowed to Li Yang: "A-Qin greets Senior Sister!"

Seeing her injuries, Li Yang was about to say something when Lin Zhaoqin stared at her with a burning gaze and said, "Senior Sister, shall we spar a bit?"

Li Yang: "..."

To everyone's surprise, Li Yang found herself entangled with two newly recruited junior female disciples.

Lin Zhaoqin was a passionate and belligerent person, Fang Chuyun was a calm and belligerent person. The two of them took turns winning the rounds and eventually defeated Li Yang.

Li Yang was exhausted. "That's enough for today!"

"It's alright, Senior Sister," Lin Zhaoqin said. "If we don't have enough Power of Starlight, we can fight hand-to-hand!"

Li Yang: "..."

She immediately activated "Frenzy," sprinted back to the east wing, Men Yi shut, and ignored everyone!

Li Yang went to great lengths to recruit students in order to save his own life.

Right now, she's practically being "played" to death by her junior sister!

Lin Zhaoqin had incredibly high energy; she glanced at the other students in the Agronomy Department.

Feng Yiqiao: "I'm old!"

Lü Shunshun: "I'm sleepy!"

Xia Putao: "I surrender!"

Yu Hongyuan: "I'm only 189cm!"

Fang Chuyun, worthy of being called the number one emperor of Huangcheng, was also exhausted, but she still accompanied him, saying, "Come."

Lin Zhaoqin smiled and said, "Come on, Sixth Senior Sister~"

My junior sister is too ruthless; Li Yang actually misses the weakling Zhong Kun.

Where is Kunzi?

He's not coming to the Agronomy Department?

Li Yang then realized that Zhong Kun hadn't come to the Agronomy Department to "report for duty".

However, after calming down for a few days, Zhong Kun became quite hesitant.

His great-grandfather agreed to let him Agronomy Department.

My parents agreed.

His brother initially disagreed, but later agreed.

The whole family reached an agreement so easily.

Zhong Kun heard that Lin Zhaoqin was almost beaten to death by his parents for trying to change his major, so why is it that when it comes to him... the Zhong Family Men Yi, abandoning him?

Zhong Kun jokingly called himself an "unlucky person," but now... he's a little unsure.

Can it really be true?

Even his family doesn't want this unlucky guy anymore QAQ.

He shouldn't go and harm others.

Li Yang is a top-tier Heavenly Fortune Bearer, so why should he bear the brunt of his bad luck?

He was just joking, but it somehow feels like a tragic prophecy coming true.

Zhong Kun became withdrawn.

Ironically, Zhong Kun's parents didn't realize it either. It wasn't that they didn't love their son; on the contrary, they loved him too much.

Especially Zhong Kun's father, who sighed all day long because his son wanted to change his major, "I know it's a good thing that my child wants to improve, but he's just average, and his personality is neither competitive nor ambitious. He'd be better off being a wealthy and idle person in Huaxia!"

Zhong Kun's mother advised him, "Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; we as parents shouldn't hinder our child's future."

"But what if something happens to Kun'er? What will I do then!"

We can't protect him forever.

"That makes sense, but I..."

Zhong Kun's mother's patience only lasted three sentences before she got a little annoyed. "I told you a long time ago not to have children, but you insisted, and now you can't raise them properly!"

Zhong Kun's father. "QAQ."

Zhong Kun's Zhong Kun had been attracted to his father's face all these years ago, and she hadn't grown tired of it. She patiently added, "So what if he 'Nature Department? You earn more money for them, help them rebuild their lives, and Kun'er can still live a life of leisure and wealth in another place!"

Zhong Kun's father. "!"

He straightened up and said, "That makes sense. The Nature Department were much stronger than the Star Combat Department back then. If we can regain our former glory, our Kun'er can still live a life of leisure!"

Zhong Kun's mother. "..." With a fool like you as my father, I don't expect my son to have any great future.

Li Yang waited for two more days, but she couldn't wait any longer.

Li Yang wasn't in a hurry regarding Ying Qi's side.

The Ying Family is still waiting to enter the Tree Tower; she has plenty of opportunities to deceive... cough, persuade.

But Li Yang wasn't sure about Zhong Kun's situation.

Originally, Zhong Kun was not supposed to come to the Li Yang of the Nature Department. This lazy Kun was undoubtedly most comfortable lying in the Star Combat Department. Logically speaking, he had no motivation to switch departments.

But after the monthly exam, Zhong Kun actually had the idea of changing his major. Li Yang just thought that he had finally given up and wanted to find another way to make a future like Lin Zhaoqin.

But now, Zhong Kun has stopped making a move.

Has he calmed down after the initial excitement wore off?

Don't want to work hard again?

Do you still think being a lazy bum is more appealing?

No way!

Li Yang was hatching a plan. Lin Zhaoqin was backed by the Lin Family, Ying Qi was backed by the Ying Family. If she could persuade Zhong Kun to come, it would be the same as bringing the Zhong Family into the fold.

As for the Shen Family, Li Yang no longer needs to deceive anyone, because Ms. Shen Binghua has already been forced to join the group.

In this way, the four great families were complete.

If the person behind this still wants to target the Agronomy Department, then they are making an enemy of the four great families.

Li Yang had already found out about the Zhong Family's situation.

It's impossible for Zhong Qian to change his major, just like Lin Zhaoxia. They are both highly regarded by their families and have received a lot of resources to cultivate them. If they were to be tricked into the Agronomy Department, it would only make enemies of their families.

Zhong Kun is different. If he insists on coming, the Zhong Family might beat him up like Lin Zhaoqin's parents did, but they'll accept it after a while and still protect their child.

Li Yang had thought the Zhong Family would be missing from the puzzle, but Zhong Kun had given her a hint.

I hinted at it, but you still didn't come...

Kunzi, that's not fair of you!

Li Yang messaged Zhong Kun: "Brother Kun, what about the 'surprise' you promised?"

Zhong Kun, who was in a state of isolation, never expected that Li Yang would send him a message.

Li Yang added, "A-Qin is here now. If you don't hurry, Lao Ba's position will be gone too."

Zhong Kun was inexplicably moved when he saw Li Yang's words.

So Yangzi really wanted him to go to the Nature Department?

His family had all "disliked him," but Yangzi didn't seem to mind.

Zhong Kun burst into tears, crying, "Yangzi, I can't go to the Agronomy Department!"

Li Yang: "???"

Her heart skipped a beat, and she asked cautiously, "What, do your family members disagree?" This was not a good situation; if she wasn't careful, she might offend the Zhong Family.

Zhong Kun retorted, "They practically want to kick me out!"

Even someone as intelligent as Li Yang couldn't keep up with his bizarre train of thought at this moment, "Wh... what?"

Zhong Kun had been holding it in for so many days, almost making himself sick, and now he poured it all out. "I'm a 'jinx,' I only know how to bring trouble to people. My brother has been ruined by me, I can't stay in this house anymore, but if I go to the Agronomy Department, won't I just end up ruining you too... I shouldn't, I can't, I..."

Li Yang: "..."

What utter nonsense!

Li Yang asked him, "How come you're considered an 'unlucky person'?"

Zhong Kun: "Because I'm so unlucky! During the provincial civil service exam in Donghua Province, if I hadn't insisted on bringing you to my brother, he wouldn't have lost the top spot. During the monthly exams, I poisoned you every time, and my brother didn't even get second place... I'm definitely a hopeless case!"

Li Yang finally understood.

This child, raised in such a privileged environment, is so pretentious it's enviable.

Li Yang resisted the urge to slap him and said, "Come to the Agronomy Department."

Zhong Kun: "???"

Li Yang said, "If you're your brother's 'unlucky one,' then you're my 'lucky one.'"

Zhong Kun: "!!!"

Li Yang quickly resolved the knot in Zhong Kun's heart that had been troubling him for seven or eight days with just a few words: "Kunzi, think about it from a different perspective. During the provincial exam in Donghua Province, you took me to find the Second Grade exotic plant, and I passed the Donghua Province exam; during the monthly exam, you used your 'poisonous milk' to help others, and I got first place in the monthly exam..."

As the saying goes, a single word can awaken a dreamer; Zhong Kun snapped out of his daze and jumped up, exclaiming, "Oh, right!"

Li Yang added, "Also, if you hadn't given me 50,000 yuan and the Star-Attracting Pill, how could I have opened three Star Aperture before even entering school?"

As Li Yang spoke, he almost brainwashed himself, adding, "If I hadn't opened my Star Aperture, I would have been assassinated by cultists on my way to Central Capital."

Zhong Kun straightened his back more and more.

Li Yang added, "Even the Burst-Speed Combo and Shadow Moon were bought for me by you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that the trading post had a second floor. If I hadn't gone up to the second floor, how could I have found such good Star Skill and Star Weapon?"

This is something Li Yang learned later.

Because of the minimum spending requirement in the private room, some cheaper Star Skill and Star Weapon were automatically filtered out, and the quality of the goods displayed was much better.

After Li Yang finished speaking, Zhong Kun's feelings could only be described in one sentence: the sun came out, the rain stopped, and Zhong Kun was back to normal!

Zhong Kun has been praised countless times throughout his life, but he has never heard of anyone like Li Yang who meticulously recounts his "achievements."

For the first time, Zhong Kun realized how useful he truly was!

"Oh dear..." Zhong Kun became embarrassed and said honestly, "Back when I was preparing for the provincial exam, I just wanted you to help my brother... That 50,000 yuan and the Star-Attracting Pill were part of our deal, and afterwards I didn't think much of it..."

Li Yang pressed her advantage, saying, "We're like siblings, no need for formalities. Kunzi, are you coming to the Agronomy Department?"

Zhong Kun immediately responded loudly, "Come on!"
