Coincidence Meeting

Anping didn't hide the call from Gu Yuena. She could hear everything clearly. She had lost interest in shopping anyway, and it was almost time for their appointment, so she took Anping straight to the restaurant.

Lin Qing was already waiting at the door of the restaurant. He looked a bit down, but he brightened up when he saw Anping and Gu Yuena.

"Anping, Nana, let's go in. I've already ordered for us." Lin Qing greeted them warmly as they approached.

The restaurant was popular because of its proximity to the train station. The private rooms were all booked, so the restaurant had arranged a window seat for them in the hall.

The waiter led them to their table and asked with a smile, "Sir, are these all the people you're expecting? If so, can we serve the food?"

"Yes, please." Lin Qing nodded to the waiter.

The waiter nodded back and left.

Anping took out a storage soul guide that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Lin Qing. He said, "Uncle Lin, the key to my house is in here. There are also some books on mecha design in it. I hope they can help you."

He had meant to give the books to Lin Qing the last time they met, but he had forgotten. This time, he didn't want to miss the chance, so he gave them along with the key.

"Thank you, Anping." Lin Qing took the storage soul guide gratefully. He didn't refuse Anping's generosity.

Soon after the waiter left, the dishes arrived one by one. Lin Qing had ordered what Anping and Gu Yuena liked. He had noticed their preferences during their last meal.

They had a pleasant meal together. Anping didn't drink, but Gu Yuena had two glasses with Lin Qing.

After they finished eating, it was almost time for Lin Qing's train to leave. They left the restaurant and headed to the Heaven Dou City train station.

"Actually, you don't have to give me these. It's not like we'll never see each other again." Lin Qing said sheepishly. He had been obsessed with exploring Poseidon's adventure. He had been in Heaven Dou City for so long, but he hadn't taken Anping and Gu Yuena around.

Lin Qing's interest in Poseidon's adventure had something to do with Anping. On one hand, he was amazed by how powerful Anping and Gu Yuena were at such a young age. He wondered if he could find a chance to break through.

Lin Qing wondered if Anping had found the secret of Poseidon's adventure. He thought that since Poseidon had gained great strength from his adventure, Anping might have a chance to become a god in the future if he was stronger than Poseidon at the same age.

Of course, Anping didn't know about Lin Qing's thoughts. If he did, he wouldn't care much. He shook his head slightly and said, "That's true, but I don't know when we'll meet again. Uncle Lin, take care of yourself in Glorybound City. Most of those adventure legends are false. Just practice well. By the way, there's a meditation method in the information I gave you. It should be better than what you're using now. You can try it."

"A meditation method? You didn't get it from Sun Moon Academy, did you? If so, I can't accept it. I don't want to cause you any trouble." Lin Qing sounded excited.

He wasn't angry with Anping for scolding him about his exploration of Posedion adventure. He knew that Anping cared about him. He wanted to check the meditation method that Anping mentioned in the storage soul guide.

He knew that advanced meditation methods were usually kept by big forces and not shared with outsiders. If he was caught using one, it would be a big problem.

Seeing Lin Qing's eagerness, Anping quickly stopped him and explained, "Don't worry about the origin of the meditation method, Uncle Lin. I researched it myself when I was bored. It's very useful for improving soul power. The efficiency is pretty good."

Lin Qing looked doubtful, but Gu Yuena also said, "Uncle Lin, just trust him and practice. He really created it himself. No one will bother you."

"I didn't expect you to be able to study something as advanced as meditation. You've really grown up." Lin Qing sighed.

They walked and chatted like this until they reached the entrance of the waiting hall. Lin Qing stopped and joked to Anping and Gu Yuena, "Okay, you guys should go back too. If you keep going, you'll end up in Glorybound City. Have fun."

"Uncle Lin, have a nice journey." Anping and Gu Yuena said in unison.

They watched Lin Qing walk into the ticket gate, then turned around and prepared to leave.

But as they turned, they saw a few familiar faces walking towards them. It was Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan ran up to Gu Yuena with a cheerful smile and asked, "Sister Nana, I didn't expect to see you again. What happened last time..."

She had seen Anping and Gu Yuena say goodbye to Lin Qing, and she felt a bit awkward because she had followed him before.

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly and said, "It's fine, it's not a big deal. We don't mind. Are you going back to Shrek Academy?"

Xu Xiaoyan brightened up when she heard Gu Yuena say that they didn't mind. She said, "Yes, I'm not as talented as you two and can't graduate directly. I think I'm better off staying in the academy for now. I'm so envious that you can do whatever you want now."

Gu Yuena touched Xu Xiaoyan's head and said, "Don't sell yourself short. You have a lot of potential and you'll grow fast with your talent."

Xu Xiaoyan wanted to say more, but Tang Wulin and Xie Xie caught up with her. Xie Xie interrupted her and said, "Xiao Yan, we have to go. If we don't leave now, we'll miss the train back to the academy. You don't want to be late, do you?"

Xie Xie still held a grudge against Anping and Gu Yuena because of the previous game. He didn't bother to greet them.

Tang Wulin's expression was also cold. He had seen Lin Qing too. He was the one who had kidnapped Lin Qing and his companions and taken them to the Tang Sect's secret base. He had read the mission information, so he knew about Lin Qing's connection to Anping and Gu Yuena.

He wanted to restore his Golden Dragon King's bloodline as soon as possible and get the spiritual objects he needed to break the seal. He had to work hard to complete the Tang Sect's missions. When he saw that Lin Qing was related to Anping and Gu Yuena, he didn't hesitate to take the mission.

He thought that anyone who was on the Tang Sect's mission list was a bad person, and he considered Anping and Gu Yuena as such. He also blamed them for the humiliating defeat of Sun Moon Academy.

The Academy didn't expel them because they valued their talents, but they had still disgraced Shrek Academy. Wu Zhangkong and the others received warnings, and Tang Wulin lost his position as monitor.

His plan to share the extra points with the students at the bottom of the class also failed. Their scores were deducted to the passing line, so they had nothing to spare.

Tang Wulin glared at Anping and Gu Yuena and said, "We'll meet again. And next time, we won't lose."

Gu Yuena replied calmly, "We'll see." She ignored him. Tang Wulin gave up and dragged Xie Xie to the ticket gate.

Gu Yuena smiled and patted Xu Xiaoyan on the shoulder. She said, "Okay, you should go now. Your classmates are waiting."

Xu Xiaoyan said helplessly, "Okay, bye sister Nana, bye Anping."

She ran after Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.
