Chapter 76: Farewell! I'll Wait for You Obediently

"Brother Luo Chuan has always been outstanding."

Na'er wore a sweet smile on her face. No matter when, in her eyes, Brother Luo Chuan was the best in the world.

This wasn't just simple admiration—it was because her Luo Chuan Gege truly was that incredible.

"He really is exceptional."

Ye Xinglan nodded in agreement. Being both a Forging Master and a Mecha Manufacturer—these two professions were ranked first and second in difficulty among secondary occupations.

To master both was no easy feat, let alone reaching Level 5 in both.

Her own family included top-tier Level 9 Mecha Manufacturers, and she herself was following the path of a Mecha Manufacturer. Her talent was already remarkable.

But compared to Tang Luochuan…

Level 2 and Level 5 simply weren't comparable.

"I'm back."

Not long after, Tang Luochuan, who had quickly completed the preliminary round for Mecha Manufacturers, walked out.

Just like the forging competition, the Mecha Manufacturer preliminaries only required crafting a White Mecha core, which wasn't particularly difficult.

Especially since he had finished ahead of time—judging by the other participants inside, they would need at least another half hour.

"Luo Chuan."

"Are you going to take the other exams?"

At this moment, Gu Yue looked toward Tang Luochuan and asked.

"No."

"It doesn't hold much meaning for me."

Tang Luochuan shook his head with a smile. Of course, he knew what she was referring to—the competitions for Mecha Designer and Mecha Repairer. But there really wasn't any need.

He didn't need such competitions to prove himself.

Moreover, in this era where evil Soul Masters ran rampant, standing out too much wasn't a good thing. Without a strong background, attracting unwanted attention would be troublesome.

Wu Lin was a perfect example—even without doing anything, just riding a Soul Guidance Train seemed to trigger assassins left and right. Someone like him would be an even bigger target for evil Soul Masters.

"Before having enough strength to back it up…"

"It's best not to be too flashy."

Tang Luochuan wore a thoughtful expression. Things would improve somewhat once he went to Shrek Academy.

Shrek might have its flaws, but with so many powerful figures there, it was still reliable… well, as long as it didn't get blown up.

And right now, he was only nine years old. The advantages of his talents hadn't fully manifested yet—another three years would make a difference.

By then, his Mecha Designer talent could be presented to the Body Sect's leader, and his forging talent could be shown to Zhen Hua. That would be a better situation.

"Then we won't go."

Gu Yue responded softly. Beside her, Na'er blinked in surprise. If not for Gu Yue-jie telling her, she wouldn't have known that Luo Chuan Gege was even involved in the other three professions.

She had been kept in the dark before!

"Hmm?"

"Tang Luochuan, you can do other things too?"

Listening to their conversation, Ye Xinglan fell into momentary contemplation, a thoughtful look on her face. Please don't tell her…

Tang Luochuan could do those too.

What he had already revealed was already overwhelming. If there was more, she would genuinely start questioning whether he was even human.

"Yes."

"I'm also a Mecha Designer and a Mecha Repairer."

Tang Luochuan didn't hide it and nodded in confirmation.

"You can do Mecha Design and Repair too?"

"Could it be that you're also…"

Ye Xinglan trailed off, pausing in thought before silently glancing at Gu Yue beside her.

"Mm."

"Level five."

Gu Yue nodded lightly, voicing the answer she had already anticipated in her heart.

"..."

Ye Xinglan took a deep breath.

"Tang Luochuan, you really are inhuman."

She said earnestly.

"Hmm..."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Tang Luochuan laughed heartily. Someone like him, with such cheat-like abilities, might indeed be a bit beyond human.

"Luo Chuan, Na'er and I want to go get something to eat. Let's go together."

At that moment, Gu Yue suddenly spoke up.

"Oh? Sure."

"But how did you two get so close?"

Tang Luochuan nodded lightly, though a faint smile played on his lips as he asked.

"Na'er is so close to you."

"How could I not be close to her..."

Gu Yue snorted softly, naturally taking Na'er's hand.

"Gu Yue-jie and I will be great friends too."

Na'er nodded seriously, grinning.

Though Luo Chuan Gege didn't know...

She and Gu Yue-jie were already like sisters!

"That's good."

Tang Luochuan had already seen through everything but played along with a nod. If they said so, he'd just go with it.

"I..."

Beside them, Ye Xinglan hesitated, words stuck in her throat.

She had never had many friends and actually wanted to befriend the two, but she couldn't bring herself to say it outright.

She felt...

She was still too much of an outsider.

"Ye Xinglan."

"Do you want to come along?"

As if sensing her awkwardness, or perhaps unwilling to see her so isolated, Tang Luochuan asked with a smile.

"Huh?!"

"Can I really come too?"

Ye Xinglan's face lit up with surprise as she asked eagerly.

She could join them? Really?!

"This..."

Gu Yue clearly hadn't anticipated this turn of events and was momentarily at a loss for words. She truly didn't want too many girls around Luo Chuan...

"Of course you can."

"Let's all go eat together."

While Gu Yue was still deep in thought, Na'er secretly pinched her and then turned to Ye Xinglan with a smile.

She could tell Gu Yue-jie didn't want other girls near Luo Chuan Gege, but the boy was naturally outstanding—it was only normal for others to be drawn to him. They couldn't just resent other girls for that...

"Come along."

Gu Yue had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Um..."

"Gu Yue-jie, and Na'er."

Nearby, Xu Xiaoyan, who had been idling all this time, blinked her eyes.

"Count me in too."

Gu Yue: "..."

Why are you jumping in too?!

"..."

Half a month later.

The Heaven Sea Soul Master Grand Competition came to a perfect close. During this time, East Sea's Zero Class secured the championship in the youth group team competition, while Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin, representing the fifth-year students, made it to the top eight.

The latest updates are first published on 69shu!

As for Tang Luochuan, he luckily claimed the youth group singles championship, the youth group Forging Master championship, and the youth group Mecha Manufacturer championship.

This round, East Sea City scored big.

Over these days, Na'er's presence had also accelerated the bonding between the girls, making for a joyful time.

But now, it was time to part.

Heaven Sea City Soul Train Station.

"Luo Chuan Gege."

"I have to leave now."

Looking at the young man before her, from whom she was about to part, Na'er still wore a sweet smile on her face, but her eyes were betraying her with an unyielding redness, filled with reluctance.

She was leaving again. The joy she had felt upon arrival was now matched by the sorrow in her heart.

More than half a month—it was far too short.

So short that before she could even spend proper time with Brother Luo Chuan, it had quietly come to an end.

After this farewell, she would follow Sister Gu Yue's arrangements and dedicate herself to training at Shrek Academy. She didn't know when she would see Brother Luo Chuan again.

She would…

Miss him terribly.

"Na'er…"

"Wait for me at Shrek."

Tang Luochuan's face was filled with doting affection as he gently embraced her, speaking softly.

Her sudden appearance this time had already been a delightful surprise—he hadn't expected to see her before heading to Shrek himself.

As for the rest… he would join her at Shrek. Once there, they wouldn't be so easily parted again.

"I will."

"I'll wait obediently for Brother to come find me."

Na'er nodded emphatically, savoring this last moment of closeness.

"Sister Gu Yue too."

"I'll wait for you at Shrek."

As she spoke, Na'er turned her gaze to Gu Yue beside her, giving her a big hug as well.

"Mmm…"

"Take care of yourself."

Gu Yue smiled and nodded earnestly.

"Hehe, I will."

Na'er giggled.

"I'm off now."

"Brother Luo Chuan, you must think of me."

After waving reluctantly, Na'er cast one last deep glance at Tang Luochuan before silently boarding the train.

"…"

Meanwhile, inside the train, Ye Xinglan quietly watched the scene outside the window, offering only a restrained wave.

She had never been one for goodbyes, especially this time, when she had made such good friends—Gu Yue, Na'er, Xu Xiaoyan, and… him.

As memories of the past few days flashed through her mind, her heart swirled with countless emotions.

A Level 5 Forging Grandmaster, Level 5 Mecha Manufacturer, Level 5 Mecha Designer, Level 5 Mecha Technician…

"Tang Luochuan…"

"Truly an extraordinary person."

Ye Xinglan had never admired any so-called geniuses, nor had she ever felt inferior to anyone—not even Na'er. But in the face of this young man…

She had been utterly, profoundly shaken.

"I'll wait for you at Shrek Academy too."

"By then…"

"You'll have grown even more remarkable, won't you?"

A faint smile graced Ye Xinglan's lips, her expression firm with resolve. Well, she would strive just as hard.

"Sister Xinglan, what are you thinking about?"

At that moment, Xu Lizhi beside her grinned cheerfully, his face alight with happiness.

They were finally going back!

Heaven knew how miserable he'd been this whole time. Before, Sister Xinglan had always been by his side, but lately, she'd been "stolen" by Tang Luochuan and the others.

Now, things would finally return to normal!

"I've told you before—don't call me that."

Ye Xinglan frowned, her expression turning cold.

"And another thing…"

"Stay away from me in the future."

"…"

Elsewhere, aboard the next departing train, Tang Luochuan and his companions had also begun their journey back.

"Time to go home."

Tang Luochuan's expression was calm as he spoke softly.

Beside him, Gu Yue's eyes were filled with contemplation as her mind replayed the experiences of this period.

She had never expected that, due to Na'er's involvement, she would actually become friends with that girl named Ye Xinglan—even though she hadn't particularly liked her

before.

Na'er was right. Luo Chuan did seem to attract many girls around him. If she kept letting this affect her emotions, she really would seem like a little fool.

Being friends with Luo Chuan was fine.

But if anyone dared to try and take him, she wouldn't hold back.

"Luo Chuan."

At that moment, Gu Yue suddenly called out.

"Hmm?"

"What is it, Gu Yue?"

Tang Luochuan turned to look at her and responded.

"Nothing."

"I just wanted to call your name."
