Chapter 120 Helpful
"Xiao Weiqing, Qin Tian, you two will be entering the ruins, right?"
The two nodded and joked that they would be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't go in.
Xiao Weiqing, in particular, is now heavily in debt and his cultivation resources are increasing daily. He has to go inside this ruin and see if he can make a fortune.
"Here's a task for you: once you're inside, if you encounter Huang Yitong, help her summon her contracted spirit beast."
Xiao Weiqing asked, puzzled, "Dean Zhong, can't we summon them from within the academy?"
Zhong Wen said, "Huang Yitong's contracted beast is quite special. They have already established a contract, but her contracted spirit beast cannot descend to Blue Star and needs to go to the ruins."
Xiao Weiqing looked puzzled. "Your contracted beast isn't a fraud, is it?"
These words were spoken.
Huang Yitong immediately retorted, "Xiaohu wouldn't lie to me."
Zhong Wen laughed and said, "Once a spirit beast forms a contract, it shares the same fate as its contractor, and would not do such a thing. Don't underestimate the spirit beast race."
Xiao Weiqing said, "Alright, I was just saying."
"Don't worry, I won't let you work for free. I have some connections with Huang Yitong's elders. If you help Huang Yitong successfully summon a contracted spirit beast, I can give you a considerable amount of points."
Xiao Weiqing's eyes suddenly lit up. "How much?"
"Let me clarify first, I don't care too much about points; what's important is being able to help my classmates."
"You can ask around; I was a top student every year in high school."
"..."
Even Zhong Wen twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking, "Your expression just now wasn't like that."
Huang Yitong said, "Help me successfully summon the spirit beast, and I'll give you 5 points."
"Okay, you'll come with me then."
Xiao Weiqing readily agreed.
Zhong Wen shook his head, "No, if you go in, you'll be separated and won't be together."
"Tie it up with a rope?"
"No, I'll put her in a sack and carry her on my back."
Huang Yitong: "..."
"Even holding hands is not allowed," Zhong Wen said.
"So what do we do?"
Zhongwen suggested, "This requires a bit of luck, but there are markings left by previous summers inside, as well as our familiar outposts. You can go there first."
"The problem is that Huang Yitong's fighting ability is currently limited when she encounters people from other countries."
"Are there people from other countries?"
Zhong Wen nodded, "Of course, all four countries have entrances to Relic Site No. 1."
Xiao Weiqing frowned. "If she's captured, will she be killed?"
In that case, he won't have a chance to earn his 5 points.
Huang Yitong: "?"
Zhong Wen said, "It's unpredictable."
"In that case, this can only be considered a side quest."
Xiao Weiqing roughly understood: if he could complete it, he would; if he couldn't, there was nothing he could do. Conflicts were inevitable when encountering people from other countries.
"Dean Zhong, I can only say that I will try my best; this matter is not easy to handle."
Qin Tian nodded; those 5 points weren't easy to earn.
Huang Yitong was anxious. Although she didn't like listening to Xiao Weiqing, Xiao Weiqing was the strongest freshman at Luojiang Academy and ranked among the top ten in Daxia.
With his help, her chances of success are much higher.
"Help me, I'll add points!"
"Add points?"
"How much do you want to add?"
Xiao Weiqing's gaze was intense.
Huang Yitong held up three fingers, "3, no, 5."
"If I succeed, I'll give you 1 points."
Xiao Weiqing smiled, "It's a deal. Even if it's difficult, I'll still get it done. I'm just a person who likes to help others."
"Here's what we'll do: find a base to wait at, or spend some points to have someone mark your way and I'll come find you then."
Huang Yitong saw Xiao Weiqing's expression change, and thus witnessed Xiao Weiqing's obsessive pursuit of points.
Zhong Wen nodded slightly when he saw Xiao Weiqing agree, "Alright, you can discuss the specific details yourselves."
"Let's go, we can talk as we walk."
The three of them began to walk towards the Ziwei Courtyard.
"By the way, Huang Yitong, you just said that Xiaohu wouldn't lie to you, and that your contracted spirit beast is a tiger?"
Huang Yitong nodded, "Yes, she is from the Blazing Winged Tiger clan."
Xiao Weiqing frowned. "I have a question. You mentioned Little Tiger, but since it has never appeared, doesn't that mean you've never met it?"
"How do you know she's from the Blazing Tiger clan?"
"After we made our pact, we could barely communicate with each other using our souls, that's what she told me."
"Online dating?"
"..."
"The contract, it's the contract!!!"
"Do you even understand what it means to make a contract under the witness of the gods?" Huang Yitong roared.
Xiao Weiqing shook his head, "I don't understand, I'm not a beast tamer."
"Let's make this clear first, I'll help you summon your little tiger, and I won't worry about the rest. Just don't summon anything else, or our lives will be in danger."
Huang Yitong gritted her teeth and said, "I know, I'll die right in front of you, and you don't need to care."
"Don't curse yourself like that. Of course I hope I'm just overthinking it."
Hearing this, Huang Yitong felt a little better.
Then Xiao Weiqing continued:
"However, just in case you are killed by your contracted spirit beast and I don't get any points, shouldn't you pay a deposit first?"
"You...you..."
Huang Yitong looked at Xiao Weiqing in disbelief, wondering how he could say such cold words.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her lips pursed, her eyes filled with tears, and she burst into tears.
"Wow...woo..."
Xiao Weiqing was stunned. "Why are you crying?"
"You're bullying me."
"When did I bully you, Qin Tian? You're still laughing. Hurry up and tell him to stop."
Qin Tian coughed twice. "Yi Tong, don't mind it. Xiao Weiqing doesn't know these things. Don't worry about it."
"Hmph, you're all bad people."
Huang Yitong wiped away her tears, operated the bracelet, and said, "Here's 3 for you, okay?"
"Cough, cough, okay, thank you. Don't worry about it, I will do my best."
"Hmph!"
Huang Yitong tossed her hair and walked forward.
Xiao Weiqing was overjoyed to receive 3 points. "Qin Tian, who is this Huang Yitong? She's so rich, a little heiress!"
At this stage, there aren't many people who can easily come up with 3 points, and with Huang Yitong's abilities, it's impossible that she earned it all herself.
"You don't know?" Qin Tian asked curiously.
"Know what?"
Qin Tian said, "Her grandfather is the president of the Luojiang Prefecture branch of the Great Xia Chamber of Commerce. Many of the resource exchanges and sales of demon cores at Luojiang Academy are done through the Chamber of Commerce's channels."
"Hmph, Xiao Weiqing only has eyes for Wei Lan. How could a little woman like me possibly catch his eye?"
Xiao Weiqing looked embarrassed. "What are you saying? I know everyone in the Upper House very well, including you, of course."
Huang Yitong scoffed, "Really? How many Upper Academy students can you name?"
"..."
"I bet there are no more than 30."
Xiao Weiqing fell silent.
He quickly scanned all the students in the Upper Academy and found that he could only name about 20 of them.
"Speechless now, aren't you?"
......
The three returned to the Ziwei Courtyard.
All the people from the Upper Academy are currently concentrated in the Ziwei Pavilion training room, engaging in practical combat.
They were about to enter the ruins of a civilized city. This was the first time most of them had ever entered such a place, an unknown world fraught with danger.
Xiao Weiqing had just returned to the villa when he received a message from Qian Yi.
Luojiang Academy, the residential area for faculty members.
A unique and elegant garden, with many exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard.
Outside the villa, in the pavilion, a woman in a purple cheongsam sat on a chair, her exquisite curves on full display.
"You're here?"
"Come and sit down."
Xiao Weiqing sat down. "Teacher Qian, what brings you here?"
