Chapter 319 Going to the Zheng Family!

“It’s still at my place. If you want it, I can have someone bring it to you now,” said Qin Yimo.

Fang Yu gave Qin Yimo his address.

“I’ll have Qin Lang deliver it to you, he happens to be free recently,” Qin Yimo said.

“Good,” Fang Yu said, about to hang up the phone.

“I heard the Zheng family is planning to move against you?” Qin Yimo asked.

“Yes, I just found out about it,” Fang Yu replied.

“The Martial Saint from the Zheng family publicly announced he would seek revenge on you. This news has spread throughout Huaibei and Jiangnan for over a month now,” Qin Yimo said.

“Alright,” Fang Yu walked out of the elevator and headed toward the exit of the residential complex.

“You don’t need any help, right?” Qin Yimo asked again.

“Of course not. Let’s leave it at that, I’m going to eat now,” Fang Yu said before hanging up.

Fang Yu found a nearby restaurant, went in to order a few dishes, and sat at the table continuing to look at his missed calls.

There were more than ten calls, all from unknown numbers, each one different.

Fang Yu frowned slightly, ignoring these calls, and instead called Wang Yan back.

“Aunt Wang.”

“Xiao Yu! You finally called me back. Where have you been all this time?” Wang Yan asked excitedly.

“I went out to clear my head,” Fang Yu casually made up an excuse.

“Oh… by the way! Xiao Yu, which university did you apply to?” Wang Yan asked.

Hearing this question, Fang Yu was stunned.

He seemed to have forgotten about university applications.

It was now mid-August, well past the enrollment period, and he could no longer submit applications.

“Xiao Yu?” Seeing that Fang Yu hadn’t answered for a while, Wang Yan asked again.

“Uh… I applied to Nandu University,” Fang Yu said.

He knew that if he said he hadn’t applied anywhere, it would certainly surprise Wang Yan and lead to a series of follow-up questions.

Rather than that, it was better to just lie.

After all, Wang Yan didn’t know his real situation.

“Nandu University, that’s great! Yueyue also wants to apply there! If she works hard, you two could be classmates next year!” Wang Yan said with a smile.

After chatting with Wang Yan for a few more minutes, Fang Yu hung up.

By then, all the dishes had been served, so he began to eat heartily.

As for university, Fang Yu didn’t care much.

Since he had missed the deadline, he might as well not go to university.

Besides, he had many other things to do in the near future.

After finishing his meal, Fang Yu leisurely walked back.

At that moment, his phone vibrated again.

Fang Yu picked up his phone and saw it was an unknown number.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu answered the call.

“Hello, is this Mr. Fang Yu?” It was a man’s voice.

“Yes,” Fang Yu replied.

“It’s like this, I’m Guo Gang from the Human Resources Department of Nandu University…” the person said.

“Nandu University? Isn’t the enrollment period over? I’m not going to university anymore, that’s it,” Fang Yu said, about to hang up.

“Please wait! Mr. Fang, I’m not calling about enrollment… that’s the Admissions Office’s business… I’m contacting you to invite you to become a visiting professor at our School of Literature at Nandu University,” Guo Gang said.

“Visiting professor?” Fang Yu was surprised.

“Yes, as this year’s national champion in the college entrance exam with perfect scores in all subjects—an unprecedented achievement… we’ve analyzed your exam papers and found that your literary attainment is exceptionally high… many professors from prestigious universities’ literature departments can’t compare… even the renowned classical studies master Professor Bai Shizhi from Yancheng University praised you highly.”

“I heard you haven’t answered any university recruitment calls in the past month… understandably so, Mr. Fang, your level is far beyond your peers, there’s no need for you to attend university… so I sincerely hope you’ll accept my invitation to become a visiting professor at our School of Literature at Nandu University, to share your experience with freshmen and sophomores…” Guo Gang’s words were extremely flattering, making Fang Yu feel uncomfortable.

Visiting professor…

In a situation where he couldn’t attend university, becoming a visiting professor seemed like a good identity choice.

All these years, Fang Yu had been a student many times, but had never tried being a teacher.

Only because his young face had closed off this path.

“How many classes per week would this visiting professor position require?” Fang Yu asked.

“You would teach elective courses, and if you’re busy, I can arrange for you to teach once every two weeks,” Guo Gang said excitedly, seeing Fang Yu’s interest.

“Once every two weeks… that’s fine,” Fang Yu said.

“So you… you agree?” Guo Gang asked.

“Yes,” Fang Yu replied.

“Then may I ask when Mr. Fang might be available to come to our HR department to sign an employment contract?” Guo Gang asked excitedly.

“I’ll come by in the next couple of days if I have time,” Fang Yu said.

“If you’re not available, you can give me an address, and I’ll bring the contract to you,” Guo Gang said urgently.

In the education world, Fang Yu was now a hot commodity.

With Fang Yu not having applied to any university, recruiting him as a visiting professor had become a top priority for various universities.

Now that Guo Gang had gained an advantage on behalf of Nandu University, he naturally didn’t dare to be negligent.

If he delayed for a few days, and universities like Jingdong, Zhouguo, or Hua University also extended invitations, the situation might be different!

“Since I’ve agreed, I will definitely come. No need to rush,” Fang Yu said before hanging up.

After dinner, Fang Yu returned to his apartment.

The next afternoon, there was a knock on his door.

Fang Yu opened the door to see Qin Lang in casual clothes.

“Master… Fang, hello,” Qin Lang said respectfully.

After what happened on Jiufeng Island, Qin Lang knew that Fang Yu’s strength was unfathomably deep, and he admired Fang Yu immensely.

“Just call me Fang Yu, come in,” Fang Yu said.

“Alright.”

Qin Lang entered the room and took out a long object wrapped in black cloth from his storage bag.

“This is your sword,” Qin Lang handed the sword to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu took it and slowly began unwrapping the black cloth from the sword.

Qin Lang nervously watched Fang Yu’s actions.

After hearing that this was Fang Yu’s personal sword, he had been itching with curiosity the entire journey, eager to see the true appearance of this sword.

A personal blade belonging to someone of Fang Yu’s caliber must be extraordinary!

It must be a divine weapon!

Fang Yu slowly unwrapped the black cloth from the sword, layer by layer.

Qin Lang didn’t dare speak, just staring tensely at the sword!

He had heard that divine weapons, after being sealed away for a long time, would emit a resonant sound when they saw daylight again!

The more powerful the weapon, the stronger the resonance!

It was said that the most supreme divine weapons might even cause natural phenomena when exposed to light!

Before Qin Lang left with this sword, his grandfather Qin Wudao had specifically talked to him, instructing him to guard the sword carefully, not to let anything happen to it, and especially not to unwrap the black cloth himself.

He was to deliver it to Fang Yu exactly as it was!

This showed how important Qin Wudao considered this matter!

And now, Fang Yu also had a solemn expression on his face.

All of this confirmed that the sword in Fang Yu’s hands must be extraordinary!

The thick wrapping had been removed by half, and soon the blade inside would be revealed!

Qin Lang was extremely nervous, his eyes wide open, a layer of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Fang Yu noticed Qin Lang’s unusual state and looked up at him, asking puzzledly, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing, nothing,” Qin Lang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Fang Yu didn’t pay any more attention to Qin Lang and pulled off the last layer of black cloth from the blade.

The true appearance of the sword was finally revealed!

Seeing this sword, Qin Lang’s expression changed.

Different from the divine weapon he had imagined.

What Fang Yu held in his hand was a broken sword, with only half of the blade remaining, the broken edge jagged.

The blade was covered in rust, especially the hilt, which had oxidized to black.

Due to the rust, the blade of the broken sword looked dull, with no sense of sharpness at all.

This broken sword, upon seeing daylight again, didn’t make any sound.

It looked more like a casually discarded piece of waste.

“This…”

Qin Lang was dumbfounded.

The item that Qin Wudao had attached such importance to, having him travel miles to deliver, was actually such a rusty broken sword!?

“It’s still usable, preserved quite well,” Fang Yu played with the broken sword, his eyes full of delight.

After a while, he put the broken sword into his storage bag and walked toward the door.

“Master Fang, where are you going?” Qin Lang came to his senses and asked.

“The sword has been stored too long, I need to swing it around, otherwise it will really be ruined,” Fang Yu said.

“Where are you going to practice? I’ll go with you!” Qin Lang said with a serious expression.

Having witnessed Fang Yu’s masterful swordsmanship, he wanted to follow Fang Yu to learn something.

“To the Zheng family,” Fang Yu said calmly, turning to walk out the door.
