Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Dean Lin nodded with satisfaction, and then reminded the other students again: "Students, although this journey is long and challenging, it is also a rare opportunity for growth. I hope you can unite and face difficulties together." His eyes revealed his expectations for the students.

The students all expressed their willingness to follow the instructions of Senior Lan and Captain Lu and not to wander off. They knew they might encounter danger along the way and had to follow the instructions for their own safety.

Captain Lu waved his hand, signaling the team to move forward. Under his leadership, the group embarked on their journey home, heading towards the distant Lincheng College. Their steps were firm and steady, each one carrying a longing and expectation for the future.

Lin Yaochen watched the departing students with a wave of emotion. Although this alchemist competition had presented them with some setbacks, it had also allowed them to see both their own shortcomings and their potential. He hoped that these young students would continue to strive to become outstanding alchemists. He also thanked Captain Lu and the security team for their protection and ensuring the students' safety. Finally, he wished the students a safe journey and a speedy return to the academy to continue their studies.

As the team gradually moved away, Lin Yaochen gazed into the distance, his eyes deep and calm. He said softly, "Fu'an, it's time for us to go back too." There was a hint of fatigue in his voice.

"Yes, Fifth Master," Fu An replied respectfully. He expertly steered the carriage, the wheels rolling as it slowly entered the gate of the Orcish Imperial City.

The Orcish Imperial City was tall and majestic, its walls towering into the clouds. Lin Yaochen sat in the carriage, looking out the window at the bustling streets and busy crowds outside. The carriage drove along the wide street and stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.

Lin Yaochen slowly got off the carriage, and as soon as he got off, he heard cheers.

"Fifth Grandpa! Grandpa Fu'an!"

Then a handsome young man dressed in gorgeous clothes ran out from the gate, his face full of joy.

"Little Ziyu, you've woken up and are here to pick us up." When Lin Yaochen saw Lin Ziyu, he smiled kindly and asked jokingly.

"Hmm..." Lin Ziyu's face instantly turned red to his ears, and he lowered his head, not daring to look Lin Yaochen in the eye. In his heart, he secretly blamed Long Yan for not waking him up.

"Oh, Fifth Grandpa~" Lin Ziyu pulled the corner of Lin Yaochen's clothes and started to act coquettishly.

"Haha... Little Ziyu, let's go in." Lin Yaochen looked at the little guy in front of him and couldn't help laughing. After shaking his head, he took the lead to walk into the mansion, followed closely by Lin Ziyu and Fu'an.

As Lin Ziyu walked, he asked curiously, "Fifth Grandpa, have the seniors left? Are they going back to Lincheng College?"

Lin Yaochen smiled and replied, "Yes, little Ziyu." He then teased, "Some people even asked why Junior Ziyu didn't come to see them off?"

"Ah...what did Fifth Grandpa answer?" Lin Ziyu asked nervously.

"Of course I said it was because Ziyu hasn't woken up yet." Lin Yaochen looked at Lin Ziyu with a smile.

"Fifth Grandpa, why do you say that? I feel so embarrassed!" Lin Ziyu said with a helpless look on his face and a pout.

At this moment, Long Yan's voice came: "Hello, Master Lin." He walked briskly to Lin Ziyu's side and saluted Lin Yaochen.

Lin Yaochen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, smiled and nodded, "Your Highness Long."

When Lin Ziyu saw Long Yan coming, his eyes lit up. He quickly took Long Yan's hand and said to Lin Yaochen, "Fifth Grandpa, don't be so polite. Just call him Long Yan."

After hearing this, Long Yan also agreed obediently: "Master Lin, you can just call me Long Yan."

Lin Yaochen looked at the handsome boy before him and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Long Yan's features bore a striking resemblance to Lin Qing's. Lin Qing had been his apprentice, and since he was an orphan, he had taken his surname, Lin. At this moment, Lin Yaochen thought of the relationship between the two children, and his gaze softened. He smiled and said to Long Yan, "Long Yan, you should call me Fifth Grandfather, just like Ziyu did."

Long Yan smiled and nodded happily, "Fifth Grandpa."

Lin Yaochen smiled with satisfaction and continued, "I have already discussed the matter between you and Ziyu with your father and mother. Have they told you about it?"

"Fifth Grandpa, my parents have already told me that we will hold the contract ceremony after this academy competition." Long Yan answered truthfully, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Lin Yaochen smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, this is the main reason why we stayed. However, Longyan, Ziyu is still young, you can't do anything beyond the limit." He warned Longyan with a serious face.

Long Yan nodded quickly to show that he understood. He knew what he should do. Lin Ziyu lowered his head shyly and murmured softly, "Fifth Grandpa..."

"I know, Fifth Grandpa." Long Yan looked at Lin Ziyu, his eyes full of tenderness, "I will take good care of Ziyu."

Lin Ziyu's face turned even redder. He lowered his head and reached out to twist Long Yan's waist.

Lin Yaochen looked at the two children and felt extremely relieved. He believed that Long Yan and Lin Ziyu would be happy.

"Okay, you guys chat, I still have some things to deal with." After Lin Yaochen finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked the two of them to leave.

Long Yan and Lin Ziyu smiled at each other, "Fifth Grandpa, goodbye." After that, they left together.

…………

After the two of them left the door, Lin Ziyu looked around in confusion, not knowing where to go. He turned to look at Long Yan and asked, "Where are we going?"

Long Yan smiled slightly, a hint of mystery in his eyes. He said softly, "Remember last time I told you I'd introduce you to the people around me? But due to some circumstances, I couldn't do it. Since I have some time today, I'll take you to meet them."

Lin Ziyu felt a surge of anticipation after hearing Long Yan's words. He knew that as the crown prince of the Orcs, Long Yan must be surrounded by many people working for him. So, he nodded, indicating his willingness to follow Long Yan. However, he still asked, "Long Yan, are you done with your work today?"

Long Yan smiled and replied, "Yes, everything has been arranged."

At this time, Long Si had already stopped the carriage not far ahead of them. Long Yan smiled and pulled Lin Ziyu aboard. Then, Long Si said, "Your Highness, Young Master Lin, we're off." With that, she drove the carriage forward.

Lin Ziyu was looking forward to seeing who Long Yan would introduce him to, whether it would be his friend or his follower. As he thought about it, he started to get nervous again.

Long Yan hugged him and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, they are all easy to get along with."

Lin Ziyu smiled back at him, still feeling a little nervous.
