Upon hearing that failure was imminent, Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai were unfazed, as graduating wasn't their immediate concern.
However, Mei Ziqi couldn't afford to fail this course. If he didn't graduate this year, the job he had lined up would be snatched away by someone else.
"Teacher Wu, if he won't say, I will! Just don't make me fail again!"
Mei Ziqi stood up hastily and said.
Teacher Wu had some knowledge of Mei Ziqi. This was his third year taking his Consumption Economics class.
To be honest, it wasn't that he was deliberately making things difficult for him, but Mei Ziqi simply never changed his ways – always late or absent, constantly pushing his boundaries.
If he failed again this time, he would truly make school history, with no one before or after him.
The only person to spend an entire undergraduate program duration on a single course.
Everyone stared at them in surprise, unable to comprehend why Liu Sandao was late, but Mei Ziqi knew.
"Alright, you tell me!"
"It's because of a 'Dragon-Tiger Battle' in front of Unit 2, Building 3 of the family quarters!"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Wu thought, "Good, not studying properly and instead going to watch a spectacle. It seems I really need to teach them a lesson!"
As soon as "Dragon-Tiger Battle" was mentioned, many students who were dozing off immediately woke up. This was much more interesting than Teacher Wu's lecture.
They all focused intently on Mei Ziqi, as if he were the lecturer for the morning session.
Mei Ziqi calmly took out his phone from his pocket and fiddled with it for a moment.
"See, it's this!"
Everything hinges on this.
Teacher Wu reluctantly took his phone. He saw a cat intensely locked in combat with a snake.
Looking at the people in the video, Fu Ruhai had his arms spread protectively, with an old lady standing behind him.
Liu Sandao was standing a short distance away.
He then remembered Mei Ziqi mentioning Unit 2, Building 3 of the family quarters. Could that old lady be his wife?
Upon closer inspection, it indeed was!
As for the cat, it was, of course, known throughout the entire school.
He couldn't fathom how these two young men ended up in the family quarters.
However, all of that was no longer important.
What mattered was that they had saved his wife.
Seeing the video, Fu Ruhai was first taken aback. "I wonder if they saw me giving Lao Hei a Fu Fruit?"
Since no one raised any objections, he felt somewhat relieved.
"Oh, oh, oh oh! Look, Lao Hei is intervening in injustice again!"
Someone shouted, and many students pulled out their phones, watching with great interest.
It turned out that Mei Ziqi had casually posted this video on his Moments, and it had already spread throughout the entire campus.
Teacher Wu snapped back to reality and immediately reprimanded, "What kind of behavior is this? The classroom is for learning, not for looking at your phones!"
Hearing this, many active students quickly put away their phones and sat up straight, looking serious.
Teacher Wu handed the phone back to Mei Ziqi and turned to Liu Sandao, saying, "Aren't you going to find a seat?"
Mei Ziqi, being sensible, quickly pulled Liu Sandao towards an empty seat in the front row.
Liu Sandao immediately shook off his hand and then leisurely ambled towards his seat.
Many people saw this and thought Liu Sandao was being too much.
Mei Ziqi was trying to be helpful. Teacher Wu had finally allowed them into class, and he was still acting cool, not knowing what he was so proud of.
Liu Sandao paid them no mind, as these were things he never cared about.
In fact, it was all due to Fu Ruhai and that "Immortal's Intoxication"!
He was originally a drop of water in the primordial chaos. After Pangu created heaven and earth, he cultivated human form by listening to scriptures and sermons on a "Living Water Stone" of an ancient great god for an unknown period.
One day, the great god said he was going to travel across myriad worlds and left him a scroll, "Ruo Shui Fu," for him to cultivate. He also promised him the divine ability of "receiving life from water, reaching wherever water flows."
After cultivating for an immeasurable amount of time, he finally mastered the "Ruo Shui Fu."
For an even longer period, he wandered at the intersection of heaven and earth.
He never encountered any immortal venerables, nor did he wait for the enlightenment great god to return.
Even other deities were hard to find; not to mention mortals, he had never heard of them, let alone seen them.
Until he himself conceived the thought: to emulate the great god and travel across myriad worlds.
It was then that he saw the Misty Sea.
The great god had promised, "Wherever water flows, all can reach." Liu Sandao tentatively extended his foot into the Misty Sea.
In a daze, he found himself at the foot of a mountain.
The mountain was immeasurably high, its peak shrouded in mist, protected by seven-colored divine light.
A small path wound up the mountain, and Liu Sandao followed it to a wooden hut.
Although it was a wooden hut, it was surrounded by auspicious clouds and radiated a divine aura.
A middle-aged man sat at a square table, happily eating snacks and drinking wine.
This person was of medium build and slightly plump.
His face was ordinary, but his ears were peculiar.
His earlobes were round, larger and thicker than those of others.
Before Liu Sandao could speak, the man announced his name, "I am Fu Ruhai!"
After much winding and turning, he couldn't remember it clearly;
Somehow, they ended up drinking wine together.
And the name of the wine, he would never forget for all eternity: "Immortal's Intoxication!"
One sip of Immortal's Intoxication, a thousand years gone, a world of sorrow echoed in the human realm!
He couldn't recall what "Immortal Venerable" Fu Ruhai had called him, but when he woke up the next day, there was a contract on the table:
Today, Liu Sandao willingly enters into brotherhood with Fu Ruhai, and voluntarily accompanies Fu Ruhai to the mortal realm for one Jiazi (sixty years). To uphold his promise, this is hereby witnessed.
Signed: Liu Sandao.
It wasn't that he was naturally taciturn, but this matter made him deeply uneasy.
Although Fu Ruhai said that as an Immortal Venerable, he should have a broad mind and keep his promises, but…
In anger, Liu Sandao chose to remain silent.
Therefore, ever since descending to the mortal realm with Fu Ruhai, he had spoken very little.
Of course, he had even less to say to mortals.
As an Immortal Venerable, he lived up to his own comprehension.
Fu Ruhai provided much information about the current era, which Liu Sandao absorbed in no time.
This era was the 21st century of the human world. Liu Sandao hadn't paid much attention to the specific location, as everyone around called it Sandong City.
Sandong City belonged to Jiangjiu Province, a medium-sized province in the country of Huaxia.
Qingkong University was located in Jiangjiu Province, a key university ranked among the top five nationally.
The Department of Economics and Trade was the flagship department of this university, and its students were naturally the elite of the country.
Fu Ruhai had given the two of them the identity of: Fourth-year students at Qingkong University.
The reason for this was that the identity was convenient for concealment, and Fu Ruhai also wanted to learn some knowledge about economics.
Liu Sandao was not interested in the specifics.
That was Fu Ruhai's business; he didn't need to worry about the mission this time.
Since the Immortal Venerable could not go back on his word, he would treat it as traveling through myriad worlds, just like the great god.
However, Fu Ruhai seemed to be burdened with heavy thoughts on this descent.
This was a mission assigned by the Heavenly Court, his duty.
He was the God of Fortune, "Fu Ruhai."
