“Alright, i’ll wait for her.”

Lu Ming smiled and took out a smart communicator.

“By the way, Brother Wang, let’s add each other as friends. You go ahead and take the exam, and we’ll chat after you finish.”

Wang Xiong immediately nodded and also took out his smart communicator.

After exchanging contact numbers, Wang Xiong turned around and headed to the examination hall. Lu Ming turned to look at Jiang Weiquan. “Teacher Jiang, please take care of him.”

Jiang Weiquan smiled and said, “Certainly, certainly.”

On the way back to Boshi Tower, the smart communicator in Lu Ming’s hand suddenly rang.

It was a business card push notification from Wang Xiong, with the name “Zhang Chengcheng” written on it.

The next line included an emoji covering its mouth with a laugh.

Lu Ming chuckled and sent a “Thank you.”

Back in his mansion at Boshi Tower, before Lu Ming could even take a sip of water, the smart communicator rang again.

At the top of the push notification bar, there was a line of text.

[Zhang Chengcheng requests to add you as a friend.]

This caught Lu Ming off guard for a moment…

After a while, Lu Ming clicked on the notification bar and accepted Zhang Chengcheng’s friend request. The communicator then made a series of “ding ding” sounds.

“Brother Lu?”

[Is that you?]

[Is the name card Wang Xiong pushed to me really you?]

Perhaps Zhang Chengcheng thought that this was just a joke Wang Xiong made out of boredom.

After three consecutive sentences, neither side responded. A moment later, Lu Ming finally reacted.

He initiated a video call.

The call was quickly answered on the other end.

Thus, after three years, their faces met again through the screen.

“Brother Lu?”

Lu Ming grinned, “Didn’t you see me?”

On the other side of the communicator, Zhang Chengcheng’s eyes were visibly moist.

Before Zhang Chengcheng could say anything else, a few other female voices suddenly sounded from beside her.

“Brother Lu? Is that Brother Lu? Let me take a look!”

The camera shook wildly and the faces of Heluo and Ivy squeezed together and appeared on the narrow screen.

“Let me take a look too!”

Another face appeared above Heluo and Ivy’s faces.

It was Wei Lan.

Lu Ming smiled again, “Are you all together?”

“Yes, we’re all here…”

The girls chattered non-stop, expressing that they were doing well and they were also taking good care of Zhang Chengcheng.

After a long, lively conversation, the communicator was returned to Zhang Chengcheng.

The voices of the other three girls gradually faded away, and Zhang Chengcheng seemed to be the only one left in the room.

Their eyes met through the screen. Soon, Lu Ming said softly.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, all is well. How about you?”

“I’m doing well too. I’m currently at the Three Elements Academy., apprenticed to Master Jiu Han. In short, I’m doing well.”

“By the way, about the war in the Plain Field Province…”

“It doesn’t affect me… Thanks to Heluo, we were left in the rear, doing some paperwork.”

“Oh, that’s great.”

To be honest, Lu Ming and Cheng Cheng were not talkative people.

Even though they had missed each other for a long time, they could not find many words to say when they met again through the screen.

However, just looking at each other, it seemed like it was already enough.

“Chengcheng, you’ve lost weight.”

“Of course not… But Brother Lu, you’ve become stronger again…”

“Muscles equal strength; isn’t this my motto? Speaking of which, can you see the slight changes even when I’m in the Self-Limitation State?”

“Of course. Even the slightest change in Brother Lu can’t escape my eyes.”

As they spoke, the two of them started chatting.

Both had smiles on their faces and the conversation was nothing more than some trivial matters.

According to Lu Ming’s usual personality, he would have felt that such idle chatter was just a waste of time. However, at this moment, Lu Ming felt a strange sense of satisfaction and fulfillment when he chatted with Zhang Chengcheng about these completely meaningless things.

After chatting for more than 40 minutes, there was suddenly a knock on Lu Ming’s door.

With a thought, the door automatically opened. Outside the door, Yan bowed slightly to Lu Ming and said, “Senior Brother, Master is looking for you for something urgent.”

Lu Ming nodded gently and looked at Zhang Chengcheng again.

Without needing Lu Ming to say anything, Cheng Cheng had already said, “Then Brother Lu, go ahead. We’ll talk again next time.”

“You can call me anytime, and i’ll be free anytime.”

Lu Ming smiled and said, “Me too.”

After following Yan to the front gate, Lu Ming stepped into the teleportation array formation. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in Jiu Han’s cultivation room.

Inside the room, Jiu Han’s clone stood in the middle of the room. Perhaps sensing Lu Ming’s arrival, he turned to look at Lu Ming.

When he saw Jiu Han’s face, Lu Ming could not help but frown.

“Teacher, what happened to you…”

“Oh, you’re talking about this.” Jiu Han raised his hand and touched a purple-black mark on his face that looked like a poisonous imprint. He then said, “The injury left behind by the Corpse God.”

“I’ll make it short.”

“The situation on the front line in Qinghe Province is getting worse and worse. Just last night, the Corpse God appeared at the front line of the battlefield. 1 exchanged two moves with him and felt that something was wrong.”

“In order to deal with the situation at the front line, I must withdraw more than half of the defense forces inside Boshi Tower.”

“This includes my clone, most of the Divine Source in the tower, and even the Tower Spirit in the Boshi Tower.”

At this point, Jiu Han paused slightly, “How’s your progress in learning the array formations?”

Lu Ming replied in a low voice, “My progress is slow, but 1 haven’t slacked off.”

Jiu Han nodded and said, “That’s good.”

“In short, after I leave, I’ll hand over the core control of Boshi Tower to you. If there’s anything you’re unfamiliar with, you can ask Yan.”

“After 1 leave, you must help me take care of this Three Elements Academy. Don’t let anyone steal my home.”

Jiu Han finished speaking with a smile. Although he used a joking tone, Lu Ming could hear a hint of seriousness in his voice.

This made Lu Ming take a deep breath and nod, “1 won’t let Teacher down.”

“Yes, that’s it… During this period of time, be cautious about everything.”

“The situation is getting more and more troublesome.”

As he spoke, the figure of Jiu Han’s clone gradually faded, soon disappearing completely.

Another golden light descended from above onto Lu Ming’s backhand, forming a tower-shaped mark – this was the core control array formation of Boshi Tower!

Through this core array formation, Lu Ming could sense everything inside Boshi Tower and control most of the functions of Boshi Tower.

Moreover, he could faintly perceive that the Divine Source in the Boshi Tower was rapidly depleting, being transferred to Jiu Han’s main body.

Until only an extremely faint trace remained – roughly equivalent to one percent of the original amount, that the transfer finally stopped.

“The Corpse God…”

As he muttered this name under his breath, Lu Ming subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Clearly, the Corpse God brought unimaginable pressure to Jiu Han.

It even forced Jiu Han to restrain all his strength to deal with the threat of the Corpse God.

After a long time, Lu Ming sighed deeply.

“I hope everything stays safe..”
