Chapter 562: Chapter 342: Leaving the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress; Principal Tang Weihua’s Welcome and Scholarship
On the other hand, they truly hadn’t expected the principal to be waiting at the entrance to welcome them! This kindness was simply too great to ever repay.
Zhang Yi couldn’t help but recall the principal’s private sponsorship before he and the other three students had left for the University Alliance Training Camp.
The principal is truly a man of great integrity and loyalty. I’ll never be able to repay his kindness!
As for the medals and military uniform awarded to him by the Yanhuang Federation Military, Zhang Yi had already packed them in his backpack.
After Lu Mei returned to her own room, Zhang Yi used his remaining two hundred Points to redeem a Three-star Quality Divine Domain Card. Although its quality wasn’t the highest—only Rare Quality—every little bit counted, and Zhang Yi wasn’t one to be wasteful.
He placed the redeemed Rare, Three-star Quality Divine Domain Card into his Divine Realm and stowed everything else in his backpack. As such, Zhang Yi and Hong Tianyi had left nothing behind in their rooms and were ready to return to Golden City at a moment’s notice.
Zhang Yi and Hong Tianyi nodded, indicating they were ready to leave. Before departing, Zhang Yi’s gaze swept across his surroundings. Not far away, he saw Lu Mei looking at him.
Their eyes met, a current of affection passing between them.
Seeing his expression, Lu Mei knew Zhang Yi had found their escort teacher and was preparing to head back to school. After learning his address in Golden City, getting his contact information, and receiving his promise the day before, she had placed her full trust in him.
Therefore, seeing him about to leave, Lu Mei wasn’t sad. Instead, she smiled and gave a small wave. Zhang Yi smiled back. After what had happened last night, they both understood each other’s hearts. No more words were needed.
"If love is destined to be eternal, why must we cling to every day and night?"
Besides, if Zhang Yi and Lu Mei wanted to see each other, it would take less than an hour using Donghuang Province’s transportation system, not to mention all the communication devices they had.
Seeing that Zhang Yi was about to leave, Gu Yun came over to say goodbye.
"Captain, take care! I’m sure we’ll have a chance to meet again in the future!"
Zhang Yi smiled as Gu Yun approached. This trip to the University Alliance Training Camp had allowed Zhang Yi to become acquainted with nearly all of the most talented students in this cohort from the Yanhuang Federation.
These students are all part of my network now. Though my own growth will surely be faster than theirs, everyone has their own specialty. There might be times in the future when I might need their help.
So Zhang Yi took a few steps forward and shook Gu Yun’s hand.
"You take care too! I hope the next time we meet, it will be on the battlefield, fighting our enemies side by side!"
"Right!"
After they parted, Lan Miao also came over to say goodbye.
Seeing Gu Yun and Lan Miao go first, the other Yanhuang Federation students who had passed the trials all came forward to bid farewell to Zhang Yi as well, each hoping to leave a good impression. Just as Zhang Yi considered them part of his network, they also saw him as a crucial connection.
The escort teachers who had come to pick up their students saw that every single student from the Yanhuang Federation was lining up to say goodbye to Zhang Yi. At that moment, there wasn’t a single escort teacher who didn’t understand just who Zhang Yi was.
But even the longest goodbyes must come to an end. After more than twenty minutes, the farewells concluded. Led by their escort teacher, Xu Yiweng, Zhang Yi and Hong Tianyi finally departed the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress.
They boarded the spaceship arranged for them by the University Alliance Training Camp. Because of their status as the Yanhuang Federation’s new generation of elite students, the spaceship assigned to take them back was small but quite luxurious. They didn’t use a medium or large-sized spaceship, partly because it wasn’t necessary, and partly because this route was under the direct watch of the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress. Who would dare cause trouble here?
The small, luxurious spaceship entered Subspace. Once they were sailing smoothly, their teacher, Xu Yiweng, retrieved two drinks and handed them to Zhang Yi and Hong Tianyi.
Then, addressing the two students he had once taught, Xu Yiweng began to speak. "Zhang Yi, Hong Tianyi, the final exams at school will conclude next Monday. After that, we’ll be announcing the rankings and handing out awards."
As he spoke, Xu Yiweng looked at Zhang Yi and Hong Tianyi.
"The school would also like to invite you and Hong Tianyi, as you’ve just returned from the University Alliance Training Camp, to give a speech to the current second-years who are about to become third-years. We’d like you to use your own experiences to encourage them.
"It’s meant to motivate them and give them a goal to strive for, something to chase after.
"What do you two think?"
"I have no problem with it," Hong Tianyi immediately agreed.
"Brother Zhang, what about you?" Hong Tianyi asked.
At this, Xu Yiweng seemed to remember something and quickly added, "As per the message I sent you both earlier, if you agree to give the speech, the principal will compensate you with Divine Domain Cards from the school’s treasury."
After saying this, Xu Yiweng looked at Zhang Yi with an expectant gaze.
Zhang Yi shook his head with a helpless smile.
That wasn’t what I was thinking.
Still, facing his teacher’s expectant gaze, Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Fine. Just have the principal arrange the time."
"That’s wonderful!"
