Lu Zixun felt a pang of familiarity, but for the life of him he couldn’t pinpoint what it was as he irritably scratched at the drawer.
This feeling was just unbearable.
He jumped behind Lin Siyin and poked his head into her hair.
Leaning close to Lin Siyin’s ear, he whispered, "Si Yin, Si Yin, pass me my phone."
Lin Siyin nodded slightly, reaching out and tapping Lu Zixun on the head.
Seeing that Lin Siyin had heard him, Lu Zixun retracted back into the drawer.
After a moment, Lin Siyin took Lu Zixun’s phone out of her bag and stuffed it into the drawer.
Open the chat box with Xiong Kang.
Lu Zixun tapped on the screen with his paw, "Kang Ning, I’ve encountered someone who’s half-way to King-level. His name is Wang Duli, do you know him?"
Xiong Kang instantly replied with a "???" emoji and added, "Who are you talking about?"
Speechless, Lu Zixun stuck his head out from the drawer and turned on the camera function, snapping a photo of Wang Duli who was lecturing.
The crisp sound coupled with the flashing light suddenly made Lin Siyin the center of attention in the classroom.
She quickly slapped Lu Zixun and took the phone into her hands.
Lin Siyin stood up to apologize, "Professor Wang, I’m sorry."
He glanced meaningfully at the drawer in front of Lin Siyin.
Wang Duli waved his hand dismissively and jokingly said, "No worries, next time you sneak a photo, remember to turn off the flash. And if you post it on social media, remember to photoshop me."
His humorous words filled the classroom with laughter.
Blushing, Lin Siyin sat down and smacked Lu Zixun’s head hard.
"Ding—Detecting shyness level from Lin Siyin +1500."
Lu Zixun didn’t dare make a sound, silently enduring Lin Siyin’s fury.
Opening Lu Zixun’s phone and seeing that he was chatting with Xiong Kang,
Lin Siyin typed a message but didn’t send it, then handed the phone back to Lu Zixun.
"I’m so embarrassed, next time you want to take a photo, send me a message first."
The message in the input box made Lu Zixun burst into laughter.
The laugh was soft, but it didn’t escape the ears of Liu Shishi sitting nearby.
"Ding—Detecting surprise value from Liu Shishi +500."
Unable to hold back his laughter, Lu Zixun received another smack from Lin Siyin.
"How did you even end up at Qingniao University? You really are a hardworking little bastard."
Reading this line, Lu Zixun’s face darkened.
This guy was really something, how could he speak such non-human nonsense? At this moment, Lu Zixun just wanted to strangle Xiong Kang.
But thankfully, Xiong Kang was just making a jest. A second later, he sent another message,
"This is a person from Elder Zeng’s generation;. Technically, given your age, you should be calling him Grandpa Wang. You might only recognize the name Wang Duli, but you definitely know his nickname."
"Wang Duli calmed the Pingling River!"
At that moment, Lu Zixun finally remembered who Wang Duli was.
He wasn’t a Genetic Optimization Soldier nor could he use superpower, but solely through his own research into the Qimen Dunjia talismanic technique, he managed, by his own efforts, to destroy the Abnormal Creature hiding within a meteor.
The reason Abnormal Creatures in Lingchuan City only dared to lurk in the shadows was largely because of Wang Duli.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but peek at Wang Duli.
Why hadn’t he recognized him in the taxi just now?
If he could obtain two talismans, Lu Zixun felt he could roam Lingchuan City with impunity.
"Regarding Qimen Dunjia, are any of the students familiar with it?"
At this moment, Wang Duli, standing at the podium, smiled as he surveyed the classroom.
Faced with this question, a contemplative look appeared in Lin Siyin’s eyes.
After a while, Lin Siyin stood up, "Qimen refers to the Three Wonders, Men to the Eight Gates, and Dunjia to the Liujia Tenth-day period entering into the Six Instruments."
Wang Duli glanced at Lin Siyin appreciatively and gestured for her to sit down with a push of his hand, "In my class, you don’t need to stand up; just answer directly."
Lu Zixun, surprised that Lin Siyin knew this, glanced at her in astonishment.
He saw Wang Duli standing at the podium, after calculating for a moment, smiling at Lin Siyin, "What classmate Siyin just said is quite correct, but it is somewhat limited, representing only the literal meaning of Qimen Dunjia."
Liu Shishi, standing to the side, was a bit indignant. Knowing the literal meaning was already quite impressive!
With her arms crossed, looking at Wang Duli, Liu Shishi said, "Professor Wang, after seeing you calculate just now, may I ask what you derived?"
Glancing at Liu Shishi, Wang Duli smiled, "I deduced there’s a little kitty currently hiding in a drawer and eavesdropping."
Caught visibly off-guard, Lu Zixun froze. How did Wang Duli know he was hiding inside the drawer?!
With her mouth slightly open, an incredulous Liu Shishi asked, "Professor Wang, you couldn’t have guessed that, could you?"
"It can be said that way."
Not directly answering Liu Shishi’s question, Wang Duli clapped his hands, "Alright, students, having gained some understanding of Qimen Dunjia, next, I’m going to discuss the Twelve Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the Twenty-Eight Star Constellations, which you will definitely find interesting."
Not only Lin Siyin but also Lu Zixun found this class extremely intriguing,
and it wasn’t until the class was over that Lu Zixun came back to his senses.
"That’s all for today, next class we will discuss... never mind, we’ll talk about that next class."
After thinking for a long time and still unable to recall what to say, Wang Duli simply ended the class.
As Lin Siyin and Liu Shishi were packing up, Wang Duli suddenly called out, "Lin Siyin, could you bring your pet to my office?"
Hearing this, Lin Siyin paused in packing, then nodded at Wang Duli, "Yes, Professor Wang."
Lu Zixun, who knew Wang Duli’s real identity, wasn’t the least bit perturbed, merely wondering why he had summoned them.
After asking Liu Shishi to wait in their dorm, Lin Siyin carried Lu Zixun and followed behind Wang Duli.
Walking along the shaded path constructed by Qingniao University, specks of sunlight sifted through the leaves and landed on Lu Zixun, giving him a drowsy feeling.
"Lin Siyin, would you like to study the art of talismans with me?"
Walking ahead, Wang Duli suddenly stopped and, with hands clasped behind his back, asked.
Jolted alert, Lu Zixun woke up and looked up at Lin Siyin, about to urge her to agree when he realized he couldn’t speak.
Turning around, he saw a talisman attached to his back.
"So this is a talisman."
That was Lu Zixun’s first encounter with a talisman, rendering him a speechless, mute cat.
