I'm just an assistant, I don't save people

Lin Yan's expression was calm, and he said straight to the point: "Help me do something."

"I'm busy now that school has just started, so I don't have time."

"You seem to still owe me tens of millions of gold coins..."

Jiang Feng immediately changed his expression, "What's the matter? Let's do it and forget about it."

Hearing this, Lin Yan turned around and was about to leave.

Just write it off? Are you kidding?

"Wait!" Jiang Feng quickly stood up and stopped her: "Don't worry, don't worry, even if you don't owe me, I will help you, just tell me."

Lin Yan glanced at him.

Jiang Feng immediately understood and set up a skill to isolate himself from outside detection.

"It's not a big deal," Lin Yan turned around and sat down, "I just want to be an exchange student and stay at Qinghe College for a week."

"Oh, what am I talking about?" Jiang Feng yawned, sat back in his chair, used his hands as a pillow, and said nonchalantly, "I'll get you someone tomorrow. Don't be late for 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow. Teacher Chen Ru doesn't like students who are late."

Lin Yan asked, "There are fewer teachers in the academy. Where did they go?"

"He should have gone to support the middle third floor. The demons have been rampant recently. I don't know much, just like you. If you want to get information from me, you've got the wrong person."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "I was just asking casually."

Jiang Feng shrugged. "I was just saying that. Teacher Qi has gone to the Intermediate College. I'm curious why you haven't asked the college for a promotion. You're fifteen this year, and you'll be seventeen in two years."

Lin Yan's lips curled up. "Is Jiang Feng testing me?" Is this the academy's intention, or is he just...

Several old people in the academy knew that I was from an outsider, so they asked me when we met in Tianluo Forest.

This Jiang Feng...

Lin Yan calmly replied, "I've only been an Awakener for two years, so I definitely need to slowly build a solid foundation. Furthermore, I want to become a Formation Master. The Intermediate Academy has too many courses and a heavy workload, so I definitely won't be able to concentrate on my cultivation. Didn't the teacher tell you?"

Jiang Feng frowned: "Is this what Teacher Qi suggested?"

"Yes." Lin Yan nodded. "As early as last year, I asked him if I could skip a grade. He said that I had been admitted to Nanheng Intermediate College in advance, so I didn't have to worry about further studies and could just focus on my cultivation."

"Okay, then go ahead." Jiang Feng curled his lips and looked back at the student information.

Lin Yan stood up and left.

Jiang Feng glanced at her back and murmured softly, "It seems that it's not my illusion... Lin Yan has already integrated into Tianluo City and is slowly becoming like a normal person. But how can this change the rules?"

It seems that since coming out of the forest, Lin Yan has gradually disappeared from the public eye.

She was not present during the demon attack on the middle third floor.

She was not present in the battle on the third floor.

Even when the riot broke out in Fengxi Town outside the city, there was no information about her, but Qi Xuan was the one who shone brightly.

Lin Yan is the girl of destiny. She should grow up through countless hardships, always radiate brilliant light, act against the will of heaven, and finally rewrite the rules, achieve supreme glory, and become the first awakener.

But now Lin Yan... was gradually being sucked into the torrent and drifting with the tide.

This is not good news for the repairers who want to break the rules and leave Tianluo City.

Pei Qian said that they needed the help of outsiders to break the spatial rules here.

Every step Lin Yan takes is pointing the way, but why is it that Lin Yan stops moving now that sudden changes are happening in various parts of Tianluo City?

Jiang Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, frowning and saying, "Could it be that she is too young to resist the rules, and then she is assimilated by them?"

Jiang Feng was not the only one who had this concern. Tianluo City had been paying close attention to Lin Yan's overhaul and had also noticed that Lin Yan's trajectory had changed.

By a pond on the third floor below, an old man and a young boy were standing, gazing up at the sky.

Sometimes I could hear voices, but nothing could be heard from the outside world.

"She set up a stall in Fengxi Town for one day and then left. She hardly got involved in the rest of the business."

"Since she is no longer useful, we might as well throw her into the Dragon Clan's secret realm."

"Even if she's useless, she's still Tianluo, a student of Nanheng. Why kill her?"

"Even a casual deduction would tell us she has a lot of resources. She used to have Pei Qian protecting her, but now she's lost her ability to break through and has become just an ordinary person. The law of the jungle prevails."

"Elders of Nanheng, how can you tolerate this? If you kill this man, I will help cover it up and will never let the demons find out."

"Nan Heng has no objection to the law of the jungle. As long as someone of the same realm can defeat her, she will be at your disposal. However, if anyone bullies the weak, takes advantage of their age, or uses dirty tricks, I, Nan Heng, will slaughter them."

"Okay, then it's settled."

The old man standing by the pond suddenly laughed, "Nan Heng has a big plan. He kept the Demon King's attack and the birth of the Forbidden Land's Saint Patriarch a secret."

As soon as these words came out.

Significant fluctuations in attribute power appeared in various areas on the third floor of Tianluo City.

The old man continued slowly, "Is Mr. Lin planning to play dead? That's right, after all, we share the same surname, Lin. Lin Yan is in your Nan Heng, and all the luck falls on you, Lin Xiu. You can even pick up money when you go out.

Why bother with us, who already have one foot in the urn? Maybe in a few years, when you are well enough, you can come and pay your respects to us."

Nowadays, everyone knows that Nanheng has good resources. Even a fool can guess where these resources come from.

In the two years since Lin Yan entered Nanheng, not only has Nanheng improved its ranking, but during the siege of Qin Rong, all the academies suffered heavy losses, except Nanheng.

It would be absolutely false to say that he had not benefited from the good fortune of Lin Yan, an outsider.

Lin Xiu snorted coldly and sneered, "How can my old legs compare to you guys? We at Nan Heng didn't think highly of that kid back then. Let me tell you, we were all afraid that Lin Yan was a plague god who would bring bad luck, so we all avoided him.

Well, we at Nanheng have accepted it. If you want to wait and see, it was you who said there was a chance. At that time, Fengbai was a member of the group that tried to snatch people away. Don't pretend you know nothing.

Now... you are the ones who want to fight and kill. You have said all the good and bad things. I am on the upper third floor. I have never heard of or seen anything like the attack of the demon king or the birth of the forbidden land saint.

"You saw it, but why didn't you hear about the fight between your Tianji Academy and Shengzu? What happened? Did you let him escape, and then turn around and slander my Nanheng?"

The old man was used to Lin Xiu's sharp words and was calm. "It doesn't matter if Elder Lin doesn't know. It must be that his subordinates are ignorant. Why not use the soul extraction technique to look at Du Lingfeng and Li Chuanyu's consciousness and memories? There must be something good there."

Lin Xiu said without hesitation, "Alright, Du Lingfeng will be in the Nan Heng duty room for the next two months. You can go find him now. I approve."

This move caught the old man off guard.

They had checked before and found that Du Lingfeng had indeed been in the duty room for the past two months.

Does Lin Xiu really know nothing?

Or is there something strange going on here? Otherwise, why would Lin Xiu agree so readily?

But before the old man could figure out the result.

Others joined in, "Old Lin has already said so much, why not test it out and see if the Forbidden Land Saint Ancestor has appeared? Otherwise, Tianluo City will be attacked from both sides, with internal and external troubles. How can we survive?"

"Yes, I agree. If there really is such a thing as a Saint Ancestor, we should be on guard against it."

"I do have a question. Why did you bring up the Forbidden Land Saint Ancestor when you were just talking about Lin Yan? Could it be that the two are related?"

There was silence for a moment.

No sound was heard by the crowd.

After a long silence, the young man beside the pond sneered, "Who do you think you are, the Forbidden Land's Saint Ancestor? How can a hundred-year-old demon beast, or even a thousand-year-old demon beast, have anything to do with a teenage human?"

He has the appearance of a handsome young man, but his voice sounds like that of an old man.

"Mr. Lin's ability to feign ignorance and distort the truth is only getting stronger. Since Nan Heng is unwilling to exchange information, let's end it here."

As soon as he finished speaking, in the conference room of Nanheng Senior College on the third floor of Tianluo City.

A very faint light spread out, forming a protective shield that separated heaven and earth.

Lin Xiu sat in the middle and said, "Everyone has been sent away. Let's continue. The situation outside the South Gate is urgent."

……

On the other side, the young man waved his hand after he finished speaking, forming a barrier around the pond.

The old man beside him pondered for a moment and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Lin really doesn't know?"

This was originally their plan to trick Nanheng College. The Demon King and the Forbidden Land Saint were deduced by them at great expense, but there was no actual evidence.

Deduction is prediction, and the future is changing all the time.

Until now, they have not figured out what kind of monster the Forbidden Land Saint Ancestor is. Perhaps something changed at some point, and the Demon King and the Forbidden Land Saint Ancestor did not appear, or perhaps they appeared but they were unaware of it.

The young man shook his hands. "Who knows about that old immortal? Lin Yan is definitely not as useless as they say. I watched Lin Yan's entrance exam today. Although she deliberately shortened the distance, it was not a formation that a low-level formation master could operate."

The old man asked, "So, she is already a mid-level formation master. What's her level?"

"From what I saw, he's already level 30, awakening his second highest skill, Elemental Barrier."

As he spoke, the young man sighed, "She always takes leave to retreat, and only that garlic is with her. She rarely sees anyone else, even Qi Siji and Wen Linhai. It's been two years, and I haven't even spoken a word to her in my entire life at Nanheng. It really pissed me off."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and subconsciously kicked a stone by the pond, forgetting that his body was quite fragile. The kick broke his leg bone and the pain went straight to his brain.

The boy covered his foot and cried out in pain, jumping and spinning on the spot.

The old man opened his eyes wide. This scene was really eye-opening, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"I'm going back to Nanheng, and I still have to be that annoying exchange student."

The boy left Tianji Academy cursing.

Day two.

Nan Heng Junior College.

In the corridor of the seventh-grade teaching building, the boy, with his hands in his pockets and a book tucked under his arm, was walking towards the classroom among a group of students.

"Zhang Jinglie."

When his name was called, he stopped and fixed his eyes on a female teacher not far ahead.

Zhang Jinglie walked over with the book under his arm, a puzzled look on his face. "Teacher Chen Ru, you're looking for me?"

Chen Ru nodded and said, "Well, it's like this. There's a special student who wants to participate in our college's exchange meeting, so..."

Zhang Jinglie immediately understood and interrupted her, saying, "Then give it to her. I don't need it."

He happened to be in a bad mood and didn't want to attend any exchange meeting.

Isn't it a good thing that there is a special recruit coming forward?

Chen Ru breathed a sigh of relief. She liked this kind of mature and sensible student. He was a good student who could understand the teacher whenever there was any difficulty. It was simply the blessing she had earned in her previous life.

Without saying anything, she patted Zhang Jinglie's shoulder to express her gratitude and said, "Okay, I'll let Lin Yan go in your place tomorrow."

"But then again..."

Zhang Jinglie immediately turned around, pushed her hand away, and said seriously, "Teacher, I am very enthusiastic about this exchange meeting, so I must go. Please ask others to leave. I will be there on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow."

Chen Ru: “???”

Where is my mature and sensible good student?

Where is the good student I became in exchange for the blessings I accumulated in my previous life?

Chen Ru was dumbfounded and asked, "Don't you always dislike exchange meetings?"

Every time Zhang Jinglie rolled his eyes and looked like he was dying, he couldn't wait to return to Nanheng.

"No, I really like it," Zhang Jinglue explained. "Teacher, have you ever seen me miss a single one? If I go every time, what else can I do but love it?"

Chen Ru thought about it seriously and felt that what he said made sense.

"Okay, I'll ask the others."

She sighed and turned away.

Zhang Jinglie narrowed his eyes and said, "Finally, the chance I've been waiting for has come."

But...what is Lin Yan going to do as an exchange student?

Who cares? I'll find out if I follow her. This time, I'm going to study her carefully to find out how she cultivates, how she attracts good fortune, and how she rewrites the rules...

I want to take all of these and use them for my own benefit.

3 month 3 day.

Tuesday, 7:40.

A blue bus stopped at the school gate. Lin Yan and Suan Tou got on one after the other and sat together.

There are a total of twelve exchange students this time, and there will also be twelve students from Qinghe coming to Nanheng.

Lin Yan exchanged with one of the girls, but when she received the message from Jiang Feng last night, she almost rushed over and strangled him to death.

Jiang Feng actually used her special admission status to force the teacher to change, causing her to feel a little uneasy, fearing that Teacher Chen Ru's eyes would kill her.

"Lin Yan?"

When You Mingli saw her, he was a little surprised. He sat down in front of Lin Yan and Suan Tou, "Why are you here?"

Lin Yan explained, "I'm minoring in Herbal Medicine. I know very little about spiritual plants, so I came here to learn."

You Mingli nodded, "Then you can ask me if you have any questions."

Lin Yan said: "Thank you."

"Classmate, please make way. I want to sit inside."

You Mingli glanced at him, retracted his legs to make room for him to enter.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Jinglie, Class 1, Grade 7, Department of Botany, and I'm a professional pharmacist."

The two shook hands.

"Hello, You Mingli, from Class 5, Grade 7, also in the Botany Department, as an assistant."

Zhang Jinglie turned back and extended his hand: "Let's get to know each other, classmate."

Lin Yan raised his hand and shook his hand politely. "Lin Yan, I'm in the same class as you, a vocational assistant."

"What a fate, you are the Lin Yan, nice to meet you, isn't this Garlic?" Zhang Jinglie said as he turned to look next to Lin Yan.

Garlic smiled and said, "We don't need to know each other. We both come here every time."

"That's right." Zhang Jinglie retracted his hand. "Hey, let's go to Qinghe later and have lunch together. I checked out the area before and know there's a really good restaurant in the Qinghe cafeteria. They have just enough for four people."

Garlic glanced at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan said, "Sure, but I don't eat spicy food. Is the food in that restaurant spicy?"

"It's available in non-spicy or garlic flavor, is that okay?"

Lin Yan nodded.

"It's settled then. I'll come find you then." He turned around after saying that.

The vehicle started and drove towards Qinghe College.

Lin Yan leaned against the window, looking at the scenery outside. The morning sun shone on the glass curtain walls of the high-rise buildings, as if coated with a thin layer of golden light.

"Call me when you get there." Garlic patted her shoulder and fell asleep with his head tilted back.

Lin Yan turned around and nodded softly.
