Chapter 1, Senior Sister Has a Life
It was then that Li Yongsheng realized that the building he had just passed, known as the Star Observation Tower, was the only high-rise structure in the monastery, used for contemplating the movements of the stars and enhancing one's own cultivation
At last, the experienced gentleman, well-versed in observing the winds, with a twist of his wrist, subsequently drew two arcs with his arms, using force against force, directly sending the falling humanoid object out flat.
At this point, she sighed, "Moreover, this observatory cannot be off-limits to people. If someone wishes to die, can you really stop them?"
Ah?" Li Yongsheng was taken aback for a moment, wanting to raise his hand to point at his own nose, but found himself unable to do so despite his intention. "Are you calling me?"
Li Yongsheng nodded with a smile, "Yes, a new beginning"
The girl guiding the way is surnamed Qin, and she is an intern. At first, she was somewhat shy about speaking with the junior student, but Li Yongsheng is a very easy-going person, and before long, the two were chatting and laughing together
Then... let's meet again later," Senior Qin hesitated for a moment, turned around and left. After walking about seven or eight zhang, she looked back once more.
Soon, more and more people gathered, and it was truly a serious matter that someone might fall and die in the monastery
Li Yongsheng was also called by someone, asking him to be a witness. At that moment, he finally realized, "No, I can't. I need to pay my tuition."
However, no one underestimates him, as Li Yongsheng himself is exceptionally handsome and has a great physique. Although he is not exactly a muscle man, he appears to be extraordinarily robust at first glance
The registration area for new students is not located at the entrance, but rather inside the seminary. There are directional signs along the roadside, and there is no need for anyone to provide deliberate guidance
Li Yongsheng's residence is located in Gengzi Building, a three-story single-sided building, with the corridor on one side and the rooms on the other side
After a pause, she spoke with a sense of lament, "Therefore, if one wishes to end their life, it is better to find a higher place."
"A wise saying," Li Yongsheng said with a smile, extending a thumbs up, "Senior sister truly has a life."
The monastery's authorities and security did not allow him to leave; they insisted on registering his class and name before permitting his departure
However, when retreating, he immediately observed the object that had attacked him: a humanoid object made of carbohydrates descending from the sky, initially estimated to weigh no more than 200 pounds
It is precisely the season for new students to enroll, and such matters should not be escalated; they must be resolved swiftly.
Does anyone die every year? Li Yongsheng was very curious
Li Yongsheng spread his hands in exasperation; what else could he say
There are also two students who are not properly dressed, but generally speaking, those two do not seem to be freshmen.
"Uh, it's okay," Li Yongsheng said with a sheepish smile, revealing two rows of neat, white teeth
At this moment, a few people ran over from a distance, among them a man in his thirties shouted, "Didn’t you see that his arms are dislocated?"
Such new students... the people nearby began to murmur, shouldn't new students all be dressed neatly?
Two people went up to seize that fellow, and someone turned back to shout at Li Yongsheng, "You, come with us!"
Upon seeing that robust figure enter the dormitory area, she slightly twitched the corner of her mouth and quickly left.
"If one dies every year, how can that be acceptable?" Senior Qin shot him a glance, "However, if one dies every other year, it is more or less the same."
Here, attending a seminary is indeed very expensive, and many students are unable to afford the costs of seminary education.
In these nine years, he was first taken in by an elderly man with the surname Gao, who went through the cumbersome process of identity verification. However, that old man did not live long, passing away a year later
Having paid the tuition fees, I then went to the dormitory management office to pay the accommodation fees. The accommodation fees here are quite expensive, amounting to five hundred yuan per month, which totals to five silver dollars for the entire year
The person who jumped from the building did not die; after falling to the ground, he struggled to get up after about three or four breaths, exclaiming, "Damn, is this the result of seeking death? It hurts so much!"
What the heck, where is the promised hero saving the beauty? Upon hearing this, Li Yongsheng truly felt an overwhelming urge to complain: When others save people, they save beautiful women, so why is it that when I save someone, it's just a big man?
I came to the Xuanqing dimension, but it was to find Yongxin
Li Yongsheng has no money—at least in the official records, he is an orphan and also a part-time student, so where would he have any money
Upon hearing this, the man who was about to jump from the building stood up and ran. However, having fallen from a great height, even if he had been pushed out by someone, his body was covered in wounds, flesh torn and bloodied, making it impossible for him to run fast
Li Yongsheng's arms were dislocated by someone, and after a check, it was stated, "It's nothing, this kid is really tough"
It is said that Li Yongsheng could extend the life of the old man Gao, but at that time he was busy recuperating his damaged body and soul. The old man took him in primarily for the benefits that adopting an orphan could bring, and he treated him rather indifferently, even harshly.
"Less poverty," Senior Qin said with a smile, giving him a sidelong glance, "Alright, let's pay the tuition here."
The person who jumped down, like a cannonball, shot towards the distant electric strike.
She finds this junior quite pleasing to the eye, although he is a bit slow-witted. However, his skills are good enough to save someone who jumps off the Stargazing Tower, and moreover... he is quite handsome
This move dealt a heavy blow to Li Yongsheng, catching him off guard; with two loud cracks, both of his shoulder joints dislocated.
With a loud thud, the falling body crashed heavily onto him
The old man's existence was merely to assist him in obtaining identification, and his act of conducting the funeral for the elderly Gao can also be seen as a resolution of the cause and effect.
What is this thing?
Today is the day of registration at the seminary, and Li Yongsheng appears at the entrance of the seminary wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and a pair of faded blue shorts
The one who called out to him was indeed a bit taken aback—after all, the tuition for the senior student had already been paid long ago
He suddenly realized that an object was rapidly approaching him from above. Without a moment's hesitation, he pushed off with his toes and swiftly darted diagonally backward.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yongsheng has lived in the Xuanqing dimension for nine years, and his physical age has grown from eight to seventeen.
Is it really like this? Senior Qin secretly scoffed as she watched this junior count out silver dollars piece by piece from his pouch. She even felt an impulse to lend him the tuition fee in advance, but... this was their first meeting; if she did that, it would be too immodest.
Twelve silver dollars, he pondered as he walked: If I take out this much money now, it is likely to cause some... inconvenience
Students from the Xuanqing dimension who can enroll in the Boxin Academy are truly rare, especially at Boxin Academy, which is the most prestigious institution in Boling County. Among the new students reporting for duty, few are as disheveled as he is; even those from impoverished backgrounds are expected to prepare two sets of neat clothing.
At that moment, two uniformed individuals came running from a distance, shouting, "Stop, don't run!"
However, this building is nearly one hundred zhang high, and for ordinary students, even if they are cultivators, falling from the top would result in certain death. Therefore, it is not uncommon for students to jump from the top, and there are even people from outside the academy who come specifically to jump from the Star Observation Tower.
"Let me take you to pay the tuition fee," a girl walked over, her appearance quite decent, looking at him and smiling continuously, "The junior's skills are quite impressive."
There is already a considerable amount of security there, as you just saw. Senior Qin is quite protective of the repair institute. If it were an ordinary place, how could there be so much security?
In the days that followed, he completed his studies at the initial, intermediate, and advanced seminaries while working part-time and studying, even skipping two grades, and was admitted to the seminary with excellent results
With his identification badge and enrollment notice, Li Yongsheng easily completed the registration procedures. However, next, he needed to pay the tuition fee—twelve silver dollars for the year, which was a substantial amount for him
He arrived at room 303 and found that two classmates had already checked in, one of whom had also brought a servant to help with making the bed and arranging the furniture
Li Yongsheng is actually intentional, possessing a face that is loved by all and a strong, upright physique. Throughout his life, he has faced considerable harassment, and he must put an end to some girls' fantasies.
Li Yongsheng walked straight ahead, and perhaps it was due to the aura he exuded that several guards from the monastery along the way did not stop him, an "old student," to inquire.
This is also a good thing, yet Senior Qin is very open-minded, "If you jump from the Star Observation Tower, you will die instantly. There are those who jump from the back mountain, losing all their teeth, their cheekbones driven into their skull, yet they do not die... that is truly a living torment.
So he did not save a beautiful woman, but rather a man
It is permissible to make such payments at the seminary; however, paying tuition in this manner requires completing numerous procedures. Li Yongsheng has made the payment in this way for now, but in the future, he will still need to obtain a certificate from the class and prepare for an investigation by the seminary.
Is it time to eat? Li Yongsheng thought for a moment, and ultimately smiled and shook his head, saying, "It has already been quite troublesome for you, senior sister."
Li Yongsheng, without a moment's hesitation, abruptly halted his retreating figure and lunged forward once more, shouting loudly, "Senior, why must you be so troubled? The world is so vast... don't you want to take a look around?"
Li Yongsheng received the dormitory number plate, and Senior Sister Qin led him to the dormitory for external students. After some thought, he ultimately did not go in. "Hmm, you go in and settle down first. If you don't know where the cafeteria is, I will wait for you here."
The room is actually not small, accommodating four students with four beds, and there is still a large open space. Surprisingly, the furniture brought by this classmate is a three-door wardrobe.
"It is actually a suicide hotspot," Li Yongsheng felt a bit dizzy upon hearing this, "Isn't the monastery going to intervene?"
However, in the next moment, she was left there, realizing that this junior was indeed very poor, as the tuition fee of 12 silver dollars had to be paid in two installments, with only 6 silver dollars being paid this time
Not to mention that he has a bag slung over his shoulder, which is quite unrefined
What kind of luck is this, encountering someone jumping off a building on the very first day of school
This student arrived early and has already taken the window-side bed, yet insists on placing the wardrobe beside it, thereby inadvertently blocking a portion of the window.
Once the tension subsided, he realized that both of his shoulders were experiencing intense pain, and he couldn't help but gasp in surprise
The combat habits developed over thousands of years made him aware that when faced with an attack, he could not retreat straight back, but must instead retreat diagonally.
