Chapter 25: Unwelcome Visitors
Afterward, Wang Ling got a list of items to bring for the four-day cross-school exchange.
In addition to basic school supplies, a change of clothes for the night, the list also asked for a spirit sword to be brought for the flying sword exchange activities. In the last line of the entire list, it was specially marked in bold and eye-catching letters: you must wear a school uniform.
Regarding the issue of school uniforms, Wang Ling was already completely powerless to spit on it because the aesthetics of school uniforms across the country were uniform. He didn't believe that the school uniform of the 59th Middle School could be any better.
The only somewhat troublesome point at the moment lay in the four days of inter-school exchanges, and what to do to make himself appear as low-key as possible.
Whether it was the old fossil leading the team this time, or the other four, they were all objects of Wang Ling's strictest vigilance. Perhaps the only good news was that Li Xuanjing was not named ......
Gazing at the notification sheet, Wang Ling sighed.
No matter what, this matter was not easy to deal with and needed to be treated with care. Any bit of suspicious behavior might deepen the others' attention and suspicion towards him.
......
There were some notes on the exchange notification form that needed to be reviewed and signed by the parents.
In the evening, Wang Ling returned home and directly dumped the notice sheet on Wang Dad.
Wang Dad straight away took out a fountain pen from his coat pocket and signed his big name with a dragon's flourish.
"You're not going to read it?" Wang Ling was surprised.
Usually, Wang Dad reads the notification slips issued by the school more carefully than the morning news.
"It's all about safety and precautions for off-campus activities. There's nothing to see. Who can beat you?" Wang Dad said.
"......"
Wang Dad pushed his black-rimmed glasses and grabbed the evening news paper on the table, "The Shadow Stream Assassins' mass annihilation at your school has been spreading like wildfire in the past few days. The one who died the worst, his body crumbled all over, and it was rumored that even his Jindan shattered into slag, it couldn't have been you, right?"
Wang Ling: "......"
Seeing that Wang Ling didn't say anything, Wang Dad sighed deeply, "Let's forget about the special circumstances this time, and pay attention next time."
Wang Ling spread his hands and said helplessly, "He started it, I didn't even fight back."
Wang Dad put down the newspaper, sighed, and looked at Wang Ling in a serious manner, "Even though it's his own fault, you still have to control it in the future. At least leave a whole body for someone! You see, this gives us forensic comrades identification work caused much trouble. People still have to restore these bone dregs piece by piece and put them together."
"......"
"Forget it, it's already not easy for Ling Ling. Without that sealing talisman, this person would probably have been revolted to the point that there wouldn't even be any dregs left." Wang Ma walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of piping hot fish soup and placed it on the dining table, untying her apron, "You two masters wash your hands and get ready to eat!"
Wang Ling stared at the fish soup for half a day, "Star-spotted fish?"
Wang Ling remembered that this kind of fish obviously didn't taste good, but it was unusually expensive. Unless there was an honored guest in the house, Wang Ma would only buy one on New Year's holidays.
Even if Wang Ling didn't say it, Wang Ma immediately read Wang Ling's eyes, "Originally, Xiao Ming was going to come today, and I wanted to keep him for dinner, but it turned out that the person had an emergency and rushed back. It's a pity that I boiled the star-spotted fish for eight hours. Today you two masters eat more!"
Wang Ling: "...... "Sure enough, it was this annoying guy who came!
Xiao Ming was Wang Ling's cousin.
Unlike Wang Ling, Wang Ming was a genius in another sense. Although he had the same unrivaled cultivation talent, Wang Ming was more focused on scientific research. At only twenty-two years old, he was admitted to the Academy of Cultivation Sciences and became the youngest academician of the Academy.
So far, Wang Ming's identity had not been officially publicized, becoming part of the state secrets. To the military of Huaxiu Country, this man's brain was even more terrifying than a holy weapon.
The most direct proof of this was the sealing talisman seal that had been affixed to Wang Ling's arm. Although it was drawn by Wang Ling based on an ancient book, it contained a fusion of the black technology created by Wang Ming, combining the principles of cultivation with the strongest cutting-edge scientific power of Huaxiu Kingdom today. It was because of the reliance on the scientific component contained within that the talisman seal was greatly strengthened from its original foundation, perfectly suppressing Wang Ling's aura.
To a large extent, Wang Ling was able to hide his identity thanks to Wang Ming's help.
However, for this cousin of his, Wang Ling didn't have much good feelings.
This was a rather unruly person who would never allow himself to fail in any way.
Wang Ling remembered from the year he was six years old when he slapped the twelve year old Wang Ming and sent him flying. Wang Ming had been harboring a grudge, and whenever he had the chance, he would definitely re-launch the challenge to him.
So far, Wang Ming had launched a total of ninety-nine challenges.
And Wang Ling, has not lost a single one ......
Moreover, during these ninety-nine challenges, the sealing talisman seals were upgraded in strands, limiting most of Wang Ling's power. However, the person who lost in the end was still Wang Ming ......
So hearing the name Wang Ming, Wang Ling always felt quite annoyed. Ask this man who challenges himself at the drop of a hat, when exactly will he die ......
But Wang's father and Wang's mother did not think so, and felt that the two brothers had quite a good relationship. Otherwise, why would Wang Ming keep worrying about the sealing talisman? Could it be that he was just being idle?
Wang Ling glanced at the two of them, "...... "You two are really right! It's just a pain in the ass!
Wang Dad looked at Wang Ma with some anger and asked: "Today, it is not easy for Xiaoming to come, why don't you persuade him? Xiao Ming hasn't been here for a while."
"Xiao Ming puts national issues first, where can I persuade him." Wang Ma said with a bit of pity, "Next time, I'll make sure to let Xiaoming stay here and sleep with Lingling, so the two brothers can also exchange their feelings."
"......" Wang Ling really wanted to explode.
Wang Dad suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Eh, no. We can't let them sleep together! We can't let them sleep together, or else Ling Ling won't be able to sleep well and kill Xiaoming with one punch, what can we do?"
"......"
You guys are enough!
While the two couples were bullshitting, it was ultimately Wang Dad who got back on track first: "Speaking of which, what's the matter with Little Ming making a special appearance at the door this time?"
Wang Ma instantly slapped her head, almost forgetting the main event! She looked at Wang Ling and asked, "Lingling, do you calculate how many more days your sealing talisman can last?"
Wang Ling remembered that it seemed to have been half a year since the last time the talisman seal was replaced. After pinching his fingers and counting ...... Well, in at least three days, five days at the most, the spiritual power of the sealing talisman seal will completely disappear. At that time, one's own aura would be completely released and exposed to public view.
At that time, what exactly would happen, even Wang Ling himself didn't know.
"Only three to five days left? Xiao Ming said that the upgraded talisman seal will be delivered as soon as possible within this week." Wang Ma suddenly said with some concern. This was because the last time the uncontrolled overflow of Wang Ling's aura had caused the entire Xingyu City to inexplicably lose power for a full ten days!
"There should be no problem with the timing."
Wang Dad nodded and said, glancing at Wang Mom who was frowning tightly, "If you really don't feel at ease, let Jingke follow him."
Shocking Ke, this was the second sword Wang Dad had found for Wang Ling after he pinched off the Great Treasure Sword at the age of one.
This sword had been following Wang Ling since he was a child, and was the only spirit sword that had signed a formal contract with Wang Ling.
Only, the texture of this spirit sword was a bit special.
It is a ...... small wooden sword that is not gold, silver, copper, or iron.
