Chapter 511: 511 is that really Sister YN? Riding on a big one [1 more update]

After all, he had spent a full five years in the psychiatric hospital at the Global Center, only released at the age of sixteen.

During that time, he had even endured treatments like electric shocks; his mental condition was indeed different from that of an average person.

What big storms hadn’t Ling Yunzhan experienced?

As someone who studied theology, there was nothing in this world that could scare him.

Even if someone told him that the universe was ascending dimensions, he would just consider it a mundane affair.

"I could say anything, but it won’t compare to seeing Sister YN in person," Yeh Xingli spread his hands, "Anyway, we have known each other for so long, a little bit of time really doesn’t matter."

Ling Yunzhan glanced at him and snorted lightly, "Don’t say it then, I’ll see for myself in a bit."

The bell rang, signifying the end of the break and the beginning of a new round of interviews.

As an interviewer, Yeh Xingli had no choice but to head over.

He stood up somewhat disheartened, glaring fiercely at Ling Yunzhan: "I’m telling you, I absolutely won’t come to do this grueling job next year!"

"That’s not something I can decide," Ling Yunzhan sighed feignly sad, "I’m just a security guard and have no control over the admissions office."

"Just pretend!" Yeh Xingli said angrily, stomping his foot, "I bet you think I don’t have enough work, deliberately finding new tasks for me. Do you know how busy I am, working overtime every day, little time to eat, only able to drink nutritional supplements!"

The research on nutritional supplements at the Global Center had become very advanced by now, capable of simulating the taste of various foods and ensuring even more nutrition.

However, simulation was still simulation, and no roast chicken-flavored supplement could bring the same pleasure to the body and spirit as eating an actual roasted chicken.

Thinking of this, Yeh Xingli grew even angrier: "Do you know I’ve been drinking these supplements for half a month now? You don’t know because you’re living it up at Shenzhou University!"

The cafeteria at Shenzhou University was acclaimed as the number one cafeteria of the Global Center, offering all the global cuisines, facilitating students to choose anything they liked.

To enjoy better food, Ling Yunzhan had made a bet with the university president and won, securing a portion of funds from Shenzhou University to hire head chefs from well-known restaurants.

Yeh Xingli didn’t want to communicate with Ling Yunzhan anymore and was about to leave slamming the door.

At that moment, Ling Yunzhan said indifferently behind him, "I heard you brought back a stone from the Northern Lands, from the legendary underwater kingdom—Atlantis."

Yeh Xingli’s expression changed in an instant.

His trip to the Northern Lands was supposed to be confidential, known only to his assistant and the old dean.

However, the news of the auction was not kept secret, and everyone who came to the auction knew that the Atlantis Stone had been sold.

Although the auction did not disclose any effects of the Atlantis Stone, merely the mention of "Atlantis" was enough to drive everyone mad.

If Ye Wanlan had not been there that day, Yeh Xingli wouldn’t have been able to leave in one piece; he would have lost his life.

Months had passed, and many forces were still trying to find out who got the Atlantis Stone.

Now that the news had reached Ling Yunzhan’s ears, was he completely exposed?

Yeh Xingli’s back was covered in cold sweat.

"I intercepted some of the news for you," Ling Yunzhan said with a smirk, standing up and patting his shoulder, "No need to thank me."

Yeh Xingli’s tense nerves relaxed, and he wiped off his sweat: "Okay, I owe you one."

He took a few deep breaths and strode out.

The door of the rest room closed, and Ling Yunzhan kept glancing at his watch.

When the hands pointed to 10:20, he straightened his outfit and left the rest room to head to the interview hall.

Today he was rarely dressed formally, complete with a bow tie.

He always wanted to make a good first impression on Sister YN.

"Next, Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, Lin Wenli," the interviewer said, "You have five minutes to prepare, and those accompanying the examinees need to leave within three minutes."

The door opened and Lin Wenli walked in.

He looked back and said to Ye Wanlan, "Sis, I’m fine, don’t worry."

Ye Wanlan nodded: "I’ll wait for you outside."

The door was only half open, but from Ling Yunzhan’s angle, he could perfectly see the girl’s face and figure.

Ling Yunzhan’s eyes widened and he suddenly stood up.

The sudden movement was too intense and, with a loud "bang", knocked over the thermos cup on the table.

Of course, he could easily see that the girl looked extremely young, definitely not over twenty years old.

Coupled with YN saying she was taking the college entrance exam... Was it true?!

People often joked around in the group, and they frequently said nonsensical things.

Ling Yunzhan himself always liked to claim that he worked as a security guard at the gate of Shenzhou University, guarding it every day.

Who would have known that amidst all those jests, one of them was actually true?

He felt as if the sky was falling.

Ling Yunzhan suddenly stood up, giving the other interviewers a shock.

They were already somewhat on edge due to their knowledge of the Divinity School dean’s reputation, and his uncharacteristic decision to come watch this year’s interviews had made them anxious.

What was happening now?

After a long hesitation, one of the interviewers tentatively asked, "Dean Ling, are you..."

"It’s nothing." Ling Yunzhan let out a slow breath and kept a tense face, "I just suddenly remembered something and need to leave. You continue."

"Sure, sure, go ahead with your business," the interviewer said, as if granted amnesty, "We will be sure to keep a close watch!"

Ling Yunzhan hurried out and closed the door behind him.

Yeh Xingli took in all his reactions and snorted, "Such virtue!"

"Student Lin Wenli, don’t worry," the interviewers said softly, comforting, "The one just now is the dean of our Divinity School. Generally, you won’t be entering the Divinity School, so there’s no need to be concerned."

Lin Wenli nodded, thinking that indeed there were quite a few people with abnormal minds at the Global Center.

**

Outside the door, Ling Yunzhan walked to a secluded place with no surveillance before stopping.

He stared at the girl’s face for a long time before finally speaking, "YN sister?"

"Hm?" Ye Wanlan looked at him and smiled faintly, "Nice to meet you, my real name is Ye Wanlan."

But Ling Yunzhan wasn’t focusing on her name at all. He took a deep breath and asked, "If I may be so bold, how old are you this year?"

"I will be nineteen in a little over a month," Ye Wanlan replied casually, "according to the normal legislation."

Ling Yunzhan tapped his head and could not help but chuckle, "Just now, I told Yeh Xingli that I certainly wouldn’t be startled by you."

Yet, as a researcher of divinity, he had indeed been genuinely shocked.

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "You’ll get used to it. They’ve all been startled; I haven’t played favorites."

It took Ling Yunzhan a while to finally calm his breathing, "Why didn’t YN sister come to Shenzhou University with us?"

"There’s still a lot in Yunjing that I need to handle," Ye Wanlan said indifferently. "Yunjing will face many crises in the future, so I sent Wenli to you, hoping you could look after him a bit."

Ling Yunzhan understood, "No big deal."

While they were talking, the bell signaling the end of the interview rang.

Ye Wanlan turned around, "I’ll go get Wenli; you head to the restaurant Little Keli has booked."

"Alright," Ling Yunzhan replied with a laugh, "It seems like YN sister’s little brother is quite strong."

Finishing the interview early wasn’t necessarily a good thing. If it only lasted for a few seconds, it meant that the candidate was unable to answer the interviewers’ questions.

Lin Wenli’s interview lasted exactly eight minutes, the perfect amount of time needed to answer all the questions.

"How did it go?" Ye Wanlan met with Lin Wenli, "How did it feel?"

"Pretty good," Lin Wenli nodded, "The questions asked by the interviewer were very profound."

"Uh-huh," Ye Wanlan nodded, "The list of those who passed will be released tomorrow at six in the evening, and the written exam will be directly after two days."

Lin Wenli felt a bit nervous as well.

"Relax," Ye Wanlan smiled, "Come on, I’ll take you to another free meal."

Lin Wenli was startled, "Whose meal are we mooching off this time?"

"Today we’re aiming for something big," Ye Wanlan said, "The World’s Richest."
