Ever since he and Peng Ning sat together to study in the library, the news that they were in a relationship spread like wildfire throughout the school.

The hot post pinned to the top of the school forum used various detective methods to analyze the development of their "romance".

They were even photographed eating in the canteen that day.

The hot post concluded: "Mu Shuiqi changed her attitude, accepted Peng Ning, and their relationship warmed up."

After reading it, Mu Shuiqi almost vomited blood.

There is nothing even remotely known about this matter. Can these people use their efforts in making groundless accusations to build the motherland?

There are still many murder cases in society that have not been solved for twenty years. They are all Sherlock Holmes and should lend a hand.

Her slender fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard as she prepared to post a message criticizing the poster of this post.

Before she finished writing her comment, someone else's reply was pushed to the top with a lot of likes.

Looking closely, the username is Peng Ning.

Peng Ning actually replied using his real name.

【We are not together, please don’t spread rumors】

Peng Ning's simple words caused a stir in the forum.

He had denied the rumor, so she could now focus on doing her own thing.

Half a month later, the midterm exam ended.

Mu Shuiqi got the first place in her grade.

She went to the office to see the counselor.

"What? You want to take a leave of absence?"

The counselor was a young man in his early 30s, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and looking very gentle.

When he heard that she wanted to drop out of school, his glasses almost fell off his flat nose.

She said: "Yes, I want to take a break from school for a while because of some important personal matters."

"What important personal matter?" The counselor simply took off his glasses and motioned her to sit on the chair next to him.

Speak slowly.

She didn't want to talk about it. She just stood there.

"Teacher, this is my personal matter. I don't want to talk too much about it. I just want to take a break from school for a while. I will come back to study after I finish my personal affairs."

The counselor had a general understanding of her situation: she was a child who grew up in an orphanage, was withdrawn and strong-willed, had few friends, and loved studying.

It was indeed difficult to accept that such a promising student would suddenly have to drop out of school. However, this child had always been steady and there must have been a reason why he had to drop out.

"If the teacher doesn't agree to let me take a leave of absence, then I can only apply to drop out." She lowered her head in grievance.

Pretend to have something to say but can't express it.

But she did have her own difficulties, and she didn't lie. She couldn't tell the teacher that she was going to another world to fight monsters.

The counselor has always cared about her study and life. When she saw this aggrieved look, the teacher felt even more sorry for her.

"You can't drop out so easily! Mu, your situation is so difficult. You've worked so hard to get into university, and you want to use knowledge to change your destiny. You've already succeeded. How can you drop out so easily? Besides, you're such a good student. It would be a shame to drop out."

The counselor was so anxious that he put his glasses back on and stared at her with his eyes wide and bright.

"Then will you agree to let me take a leave of absence from school?" She raised her innocent eyes.

"What exactly are you going to do? Is there anything the teacher can help you with?" the counselor asked with concern. "Are you sick? Or do you want to find your biological parents?"

She knew the teacher would say that.

If she said she was sick, the teacher would arrange for her to go to the school hospital for a checkup, and if she was really sick, she would be hospitalized. But she was not sick!

If she wants to find her biological parents, the teacher should contact the relevant departments to help her investigate the clues.

But she doesn't need to look for her parents in this world.

She was in a dilemma, with no good excuse. If she didn't take a leave of absence, she couldn't guarantee she would be able to return to classes on time and complete her studies.

The counselor saw that she was frowning, not knowing what she was thinking about, as if she really had something to hide.

"Mu Shuiqi, how long do you want to take a leave of absence from school?" The counselor relaxed a little.

"One year, or two years, it's all fine." She didn't know how long it would take her to reach the Xuanyu Realm and accomplish her goal.

"Hey, kid, you want to take a leave of absence from school, but you're not sure when."

"Two years, then," she said.

"When you come back in two years, your classmates will be graduating soon. It's a pity to think about it." The counselor still didn't want her to take a leave of absence.

"If you maintain your grades until graduation, you won't have any problem getting into graduate school, or even pursuing a master's or doctoral degree. But if you take a two-year break and come back, everything is uncertain."

“…It’s okay, I can keep trying.”

"Do you think it's worth spending two years on your personal business? Is it necessary to do it?"

"It's worth it. I have to do it." She said firmly, "If the teacher won't let me take a leave of absence or let me drop out, then I'll skip school."

"You..." The counselor adjusted his glasses, "Are you threatening me?"

"No. Teacher, I'm telling the truth. You won't let me take a leave of absence, nor will you let me drop out. But I have something I have to do, so I have no choice but to skip school." She shrugged innocently.

The counselor was so angry that he laughed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Let me think about it," said the counselor.

"Teacher, don't think too long. I'm waiting for your reply," she said.

“…” The counselor frowned and waved her to leave the office.

On that day, the counselor secretly visited Mu Shuiqi's close classmates about this matter.

The first to be affected is Cui Mengmeng.

Cui Mengmeng had already agreed on a confession with her. She insisted she knew nothing, saying only that she was going on a long trip to take care of a personal matter. It was a very important one, and she didn't want to tell anyone.

Then he asked a group of class leaders, especially the monitor and the life committee member, whether Mu Shuiqi had encountered any difficulties in life and study recently.

Then, they told Mu Shuiqi about the gossip that surrounded her in the school forum.

The responsible counselor went to find Peng Ning again to find out the situation.

Peng Ning didn't know that she was going to drop out of school. He was worried and anxious, thinking that he was causing her trouble.

The counselor had to comfort him and said that the matter of taking a leave of absence was still undecided.

No useful information was obtained, and the counselor couldn't figure out why she wanted to drop out of school.

When I asked her again, she refused to tell me.

Her attitude was very firm. If she didn't take a leave of absence, she would drop out, and if she didn't drop out, she would skip school.

For such a good student, the counselor naturally would not be willing to let her lose her studies.

Finally, she had no choice but to report to the school leaders, hoping that her situation would be treated specially.

Two days later, the counselor called her into the office.

"I have reported your situation to the hospital leadership."

"Well, what did the teachers decide?" she smiled.

"Mu Shuiqi, look at how calm you look. But we are discussing your academic problems now. You better be serious." The counselor frowned.

She said "oh" and immediately put on a serious face.

"Why are you so serious? It's as if you're the teacher and I'm the student who made a mistake."

The counselor was unhappy again. Her expression was too serious, and she was standing, looking down on us.

"Teacher, please tell me what the leaders of the hospital decided." She smiled as if she were bathed in spring breeze.

The counselor was moved by her beautiful smile and said in a gentle tone, "In view of your good performance and excellent grades in school, the college leaders have decided that you don't have to take a leave of absence, drop out, or skip classes. Just go ahead and do what you want to do, take your exams on time, and complete the credits before graduation."

"You mean..." She was a little bit incredulous, "I have free time and don't have to go to class every day. As long as I pass the exam, it's fine?"

"Yes." The counselor nodded emphatically, "But you'd better stay in the top 10 in your grade, otherwise I can't guarantee that the college leaders won't change their minds."

"It's no problem to be the top student in the grade." She snapped her fingers excitedly. "Teacher, I'm leaving! Thank you!"

"Hey, hey, hey... I haven't finished my instructions yet!" The counselor reached out to call her, but in the blink of an eye, she had run to the door.

"goodbye teacher!"

She ran out of the office and disappeared.

Go back and pack up and prepare to go to Xuanyu.

This time before returning to Xuanyu, she wanted to bring some things for Bingyou and Yi Yao.

She always went there empty-handed, but they had helped her so much, so she had to bring some gifts this time.
