Chapter 268 The Last Lesson

On the 19th day of the lunar calendar, the sun is shining brightly.

After several months, Lu Ran once again put on the blue and white school uniform and walked out of the house.

“Uh-huh~~~”

He stood at the entrance of the apartment building, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and stretched lazily.

Time flies so fast.

Today’s morning class is the last class before the college entrance examination.

"The little yellow flower of the story has been floating since the year I was born~"

Lu Ran was humming a little tune as he walked, and he kicked the small flowers on the roadside.

The petals fluttered in the wind and slowly fell to the ground as Lu Ran walked away.

Lu Ran walked around the residential building and saw a tall figure standing under a big tree not far away.

Blue and white school uniform, neat ponytail, and pure and lovely face.

But compared to a year ago, the girl has grown a lot, both mentally and physically.

"Is your school uniform a little too small?" Lu Ran walked forward quickly.

"It doesn't matter, just wear it for one day." Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran with a smile.

"Let's go. We have to take the small path." Lu Ran held her soft hand and gently squeezed her palm.

Jiang Ruyi lowered her head slightly, a little bit of joy in her heart, and let someone lead her and walk out of the community.

Today, the school requires students to wear uniforms. If Lu Jiang and others wear hats and masks, it would be tantamount to trying to cover up one's own guilt.

Neither of them was fully armed.

Fortunately, there were not many people in Yuxiang City, and the two of them chose some desolate areas, so the journey was relatively peaceful.

A few streets later, in an empty alley, Lu Ran suddenly said:
"Ruyi, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm?" Jiang Ruyi turned her head to look at Lu Ran, having a bad feeling in her heart.

Every night before going to bed, the two would exchange text messages.

He didn't talk on the phone but wanted to say it in person. It must be a very important matter.

Lu Ran: "Master Xianyang called me over."

Jiang Ruyi's heart moved, and he asked, "A pilgrimage?"

"Yes." Lu Ran nodded, "Master Xianyang called me over right now, and I begged him, after all, I still have to take the college entrance examination.

After the fifteenth of next month, I will have to go."

Jiang Ruyi pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Of course she couldn't stop Lu Ran from going on the pilgrimage.

No believer in the world has the right to go against the will of God.

And no one knew how long Lu Ran had been gone.

Jiang Ruyi once stayed at the foot of the divine statue at Yumen Pass for half a year.

"I'm sorry." Lu Ran stopped and said apologetically, "I can't accompany you to the front line on Children's Day."

The fifteenth day of the fifth lunar month every year is the day of the college entrance examination.

The first day of June is the last chance for candidates to get their scores.

As we all know, the first day of the sixth lunar month is the annual day for worshiping gods.

The gods will patrol the human world and recruit believers.

During this month and day, the evil spirits are most peaceful.

All senior high school graduates will be organized by the school to enter the devil's cave and observe the front line on the first day of June.

This is also the last lesson the school gives to its believers.

Students from the Mist Realm and the Stream Realm could only climb up the city wall and watch.

The believers in Hejing can apply to join the army and perform missions under the leadership of soldiers.

Either clear the piles of corpses under the city walls; or follow the army and advance the front line.

In short, the school will work with the military to make the students understand the cruelty of this world as much as possible while ensuring the students' safety.

"The gods have given orders, so of course we must carry them out." Jiang Ruyi shook her head. "It's okay. I'll just go with them."

Lu Ran nodded slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

Of course it’s not that he doesn’t dare to go, but that he can’t go!
Lu Ran cannot absorb a large number of evil souls in a short period of time, otherwise he will most likely be exposed.

Once the evil demon comes to kill us, it will be a lot of fun!
The gods will certainly investigate why a certain evil demon is keeping a close eye on Lu Ran.

Once the cause is known, the gods will personally take action, even without the demons themselves having to do anything.
Take a look at the current situation of the Godly Fountain of Oblivion!
She was banished by the gods to the devil's cave, the bamboo sea, where she lingered on.

The Wangquan sect only strengthens itself by absorbing souls.

Lu Ran owns a sculpture garden that can shake the foundations of the gods.
This nature is completely different!

Lu Ran never thought that the gods would give him a chance to live.

"Did Lord Xianyang tell you what he wanted you to do?" Jiang Ruyi tried to hold back but still asked.

Before, when she was summoned by the gods, Lu Ran had asked similar questions.

At that time, Jiang Ruyi smiled and shook her head, saying how could she know.

Now, it was Lu Ran's turn to be summoned, and Jiang Ruyi realized that she really couldn't help asking.

"I performed very well on the night of the 15th just past." Lu Ran responded, "After returning home, I reported the results of the battle to the Fairy Sheep, and it was very satisfied.

This time, Lord Xianyang probably wants to give me some rewards to help me improve my realm faster."

"Yeah." Jiang Ruyi lowered her eyes.

"Don't be like this, Ruyi, I still have a month before I leave."

"26 days."

"what?"

"There are still 26 days before you leave." Jiang Ruyi whispered.

Lu Ran felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, it was he who initiated this pilgrimage.

As a human student, he naturally knew what the school would organize high school graduates to do on the first day of June every year.

Lu Ran naturally wants to avoid risks, and he also needs a legitimate reason not to participate in the event.

When he explained the situation to the gods, Lord Immortal Sheep accepted his advice and allowed Lu Ran to come to the main body of the divine sculpture for further study.

"Are you starting to count the days now?" Lu Ran lowered his head slightly and gently touched her forehead. Jiang Ruyi: "I um."

The girl's words were blocked in her mouth.

In a deserted alley, Lu Ran hugged Jiang Ruyi and kissed her tender lips.

Jiang Ruyi closed her eyes, her face flushed, and one hand tightly grasped the corner of Lu Ran's clothes.

After a long time, Lu Ran's voice rang out again in the alley: "I'll tell you later.

Don't be sad, I'll try to come back as soon as possible."

Just on the fifteenth of last month, Jiang Ruyi seriously stated that if Lu Ran had any important decisions, he must tell her in advance.

If not for this, Lu Ran might have really delayed it.

People really can’t be too obedient.

"Who is sad?" Jiang Ruyi was stubborn sometimes, and she leaned her face against Lu Ran's shoulder, "Listen to the teachings of the Lord God more.

Practice with peace of mind, strength is the most important thing."

Suddenly, she raised her head and a smile appeared on her face: "When you come back, I hope it will be Jiangjing."

Good guy~
Lu Ran smiled: "You have confidence in me."

"By the way, you are going to apply to Wuliehe University, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll wait for you at school."

"No, I still have a month before I leave. Why are you saying goodbye now?"

Lu Jiang and the other were late.

The good thing is that there are no students chasing after us on campus, asking for autographs or taking photos.

The downside is... well, there is no downside.

Li Yanzhu, who is always strict, stood on the podium, looked at the man and woman outside the door, and let them in with a smile.

There was no scolding or punishment. The head teacher just took the blackboard with the pointer and knocked on it again.

There is a sentence written on it:

“The sufferings of the world are like this frightening night of thunder and lightning.

There are always people who will not wait for the storm to pass, but will dance in the rain. "

When Lu Ran saw this sentence, he was obviously stunned.

This sentence was exactly the comment that the judges of "Tianjiao" wrote for Lu Ran.

"This is the last morning class in your high school career." Li Yanzhu said in a deep voice, "I'm giving you this by borrowing Tianjiao's evaluation of Lu Ran."

Li Yanzhu glanced at the twenty or so students in the class and continued, “This world is not a beautiful place.

It doesn't seem to be getting any better.

The rain will only get heavier, and there will be more thunder and lightning.

But your life has just begun.

After graduation, you will go your separate ways. I hope you will learn to dance in the rain as soon as possible on your respective paths of life."

"Clap! Clap! Clap"

The silent and sad atmosphere was broken by a round of applause.

More than 20 people in the class also clapped their hands.

Li Yanzhu smiled and said, "This month's training assignment is to prepare for the college entrance examination.

No magic crystal requirements were submitted.

You can go to any dungeon to train your team and practice tactics, or you can rest and recuperate at home.

When you stand in the examination room on the fifteenth of next month, you will get the scores for this month's practice assignments."

Then, Li Yanzhu added: "Twenty points, full marks."

For a moment, the students looked at each other.

The last assignment in previous years was not like this.

Is it because Yuxiang City has experienced too many storms and the students have endured too much, so the school does this?
Li Yanzhu: "On the fifteenth of next month, at 8 am, gather at the school playground to take the final exam.

You are not allowed to be late, do you understand?"

"Listen clearly!"

"Yes!"

Li Yanzhu nodded with satisfaction: "In addition, on the first day of the sixth lunar month, the school will organize everyone to go to the vicious dog village and visit the front line.

No escaping or taking leave is allowed, all students must go, otherwise a large number of believers’ points will be deducted.

For the vast majority of people present here, this is your only chance in life, so cherish it."

A few students responded, but most remained silent.

Li Yanzhu glanced at her watch and continued, "Everyone, please get dressed. We will start taking graduation photos soon, and it will be our class 4's turn soon.

Do you have any questions? "

There was silence in the class.

Today's class teacher had a rare gentle expression: "After taking the graduation photos, everyone can leave on their own.

Finally, I wish you all the best in your future. "

The future is bright.

These words again.

But this time, no matter how Lu Ran listened to it, he felt a little sad.

Ten minutes later, more than twenty students from Class 3-4 stood in front of the teaching building.

School leaders and teachers sat in the front row, and students stood in rows on the steps.

Lu Ran was asked to stand in the center of the crowd. Jiang Ruyi, who was standing next to him, had a faint smile on her face.

Today in Yuxiang City, the sun is shining brightly with blue sky and white clouds.

It is indeed suitable for taking photos.

With the sound of shutter clicks, Lu Ran flicked Ruyi's fingers and quietly held her hand.
