"We're here, everyone wake up, pack your things, and get ready to get off," the bus slowly came to a stop, and Xue Jian stood up, clapped his hands, and said loudly.

Lin Li didn't sleep this time. Chen Yuying's light blue off-the-shoulder, waist-cinched short dress next to him had kept him awake the whole way.

Light blue, waist-cinched, off-the-shoulder, short dress, much shorter than the white dress from the first day, barely reaching her knees!

So awesome.

Paired with Chen Yuying's figure, even Xiao Jing's eyes would have been glued to her.

Lin Li had been leaning his head against the window the whole way, so his line of sight was staring at Chen Yuying's legs diagonally below.

Smooth, fair, slender, and straight.

The only flaw was that the owner of the legs was a little fidgety, keeping her legs pressed together and leaning towards Ding Sihan.

Lin Li asked Chen Yuying why she was so nervous.

Chen Yuying said she felt like there was a pervert on the bus peeping at her.

Lin Li was shocked to hear this. He never would have thought there was such a disgusting person in the class. Fortunately, after looking around, he didn't see the so-called pervert. Even Wang Yuezhi was behaving himself.

It seems the so-called pervert was a figment of the class president's imagination. She had some persecution paranoia. Hmph, so she's a little fairy too.

Chen Yuying didn't sleep the whole way either.

With such a blatant pervert staring at her, how could she possibly sleep?

When she saw Lin Li deliberately holding back his laughter and looking around for the pervert, she wanted to slap him across the face, but after hesitating, she didn't.

It wasn't that she couldn't bear to, but Chen Yuying was afraid that Lin Li would enjoy it even more.

...

"Alright, everyone follow me. Let's take the cable car up the mountain from here," after everyone got off the bus, Xue Jian led the way in front.

Today's autumn trip arrangement was to take the cable car up Pingjiang's Yunliu Mountain in the morning, visit the geological museum on the mountain, have a barbecue picnic at the outdoor base on the mountain for lunch, and start descending around two or three in the afternoon. After descending and getting their luggage from the base, they would directly embark on the journey back to Xiling.

This way, the time of return to school would be around seven or eight in the evening, which was convenient for both those who took public transportation home and those who were picked up by their families.

"You get what you pay for. Why do you think that door was so fragile this morning?" Lin Li said leisurely, walking behind Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei.

The two of them gave him a cold smile.

The fact that Lin Li had woken up early to memorize English had deeply stung their hearts.

If it weren't for the fact that after twenty minutes, Lin Li had taken the initiative to come back and purely play on his phone, and even brought breakfast, otherwise the three of them would have severed their ties from then on.

"A standard cable car cabin holds ten people. A transparent-bottomed cable car cabin can only hold six people, but it's not included in your package. You need to pay an additional 20 yuan per person.

The whole journey takes about thirty minutes, and it will stop periodically. If this happens, it's normal for it to last within a minute, so there's no need to panic. On the contrary, it's a good opportunity for everyone to take pictures..." After negotiating with Xue Jian, the cable car staff began to introduce it to everyone.

"What do you think would happen if we fell?" Zhou Baowei asked, stroking his chin as he looked at the cable car ascending on the cable.

"A grand funeral, budget of one hundred—Bufan and I are willing to contribute fifty each," Lin Li immediately replied.

"Don't speak for me. The prerequisite for me saying fifty last night was that I won two million. I didn't win now, so I can contribute five at most," Bai Bufan was immediately a little unhappy.

"If you contribute five, then I'll only contribute five," Lin Li was also unwilling to be at a disadvantage.

"Then I'll contribute four."

"Three."

"..."

The two of them started to bargain.

Later, it once again evolved into how to utilize his corpse, with yesterday's foreshadowing.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

He had figured it out. Lin and Bai were not their real surnames. One was actually surnamed Qiu and the other Gao. They were thoroughly enjoying themselves at his expense.

【The path to the summit, if walked under the protection of a senior's formation, will ultimately yield no growth. At the peak of Yunliu, only by treading on solid ground can one be tempered. If one's aspirations are high, there is no need for shortcuts.

Since you intend to reach the highest point, why fear hardship? Today, why not walk the path yourself!】

【Mission triggered!】

【Mission Two: Reach the summit of Yunliu by yourself.】

【Reward: Physique Improvement: Spiritual Energy Absorption Speed increased by 100%; Beast Affinity increased by 50%; System Currency*50.】

Just as he followed the main group to the cable car queuing area, Lin Li saw a new mission pop up from the system.

As expected of you, system. You just won't let me be comfortable.

The mission was easy to understand. It was just to climb the mountain by himself.

Lin Li immediately took out his phone to check the information, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

—Yunliu Mountain was very short. For those who liked to climb mountains, Yunliu couldn't even be called a mountain. Compared to the Five Great Mountains, it was probably like their smegma.

The ascent was mostly gentle slopes, and most sections could even be driven on. It was not rugged at all.

Easy to climb.

Acceptable.

After confirming this, the other problem that needed to be solved immediately was.

Lin Li hooked his left arm around Bai Bufan's neck and his right arm around Zhou Baowei's neck, pressing their heads in front of him, and then said seriously:

"Baowei, Bufan, are you interested in not taking the cable car and walking up the mountain?"

Bai Bufan: "?"

Zhou Baowei: "Are you a f*cking idiot?"

Lin Li: "..."

He cursed so quickly and clearly. It was obvious that he hadn't thought about it at all and subconsciously thought this behavior was idiotic.

"Are you a f*cking idiot?" Zhou Baowei asked again, this time after thinking about it.

The second trial upheld the original verdict.

Baowei was right, but this was the master's mission, and Lin Li had no choice but to obey. So he persuaded:

"Mountain climbing... is a part of youth. Taking the cable car up the mountain is superficial and impetuous. Only by treading on solid ground can one obtain true happiness. And I've already checked, this mountain is not high and easy to walk."

Lin Li really had to pull others along.

This time it wasn't that his brothers had to suffer with him.

It was because his actions were clearly a departure from the main group to act alone. Xue Jian had emphasized many times that this was strictly forbidden.

If he alone told Xue Jian that he planned to climb the mountain by himself, he didn't need to think to know that Xue Jian would firmly refuse. Only by pulling others along as companions would there be a possibility of getting permission.

How embarrassing would it be for a cultivator to get a major demerit?

He didn't have the strength to destroy the school yet, so he needed to be patient.

One day, when he could slap a school to death with one palm, Nansang High School, you just wait for me!

"Youth my ass? Besides, the money for our cable car is already included in the autumn trip fee. Now you want to walk instead of taking it? Lin Li, listen to my advice, stop studying. You're so brain-dead now, it's the result of your brain being full of nothing but studying..."

Zhou Baowei began to persuade him earnestly.

Reversing the natural order.

"Baowei, don't you always say that no one loves you, everyone bullies you, and you're very pitiful? As long as you climb the mountain with us, I guarantee your whole body will hurt!" Lin Li was still persuading.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

"I'm not interested in that kind of pain. I'm not going," Zhou Baowei shook his head and struggled free from Lin Li's hand.

His eyes were firm, his mind made up.

Baowei was indeed a bit lazy, otherwise his density wouldn't be so high. So Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan.

"What Baowei said is what I wanted to say," and Bai Bufan smiled and nodded.

"Bufan, I was originally planning to do twenty sets of practice papers on the way back. If you come with me, I won't do them," taking a deep breath, Lin Li said.

Bai Bufan: "..."

Damn it.

It was actually this kind of threat.

"From now on, whenever we go out to play together, you're not allowed to study in front of me. And, on the way, you're responsible for carrying my backpack and everything," after a moment of deep thought, Bai Bufan narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

"Okay," Lin Li gritted his teeth and nodded.

The two of them looked at each other and tacitly reached out their right hands and clasped them together. Unfortunately, it didn't trigger a perfect Black Flash handshake.

"Entrust your life to me, Bufan!"

"For the rest of my life, please take care of me!"

...

"No."

The bride and groom were ready, but a third party appeared.

After hearing Lin Li's plan, Xue Jian shook his head without hesitation.

Lin Li: "..."

Just like Zhou Baowei cursing him for wanting to climb the mountain was idiotic, Xue Jian didn't hesitate for a second to refuse him.

Was it already a subconscious judgment?

"Teacher, I'm not alone..."

"I know that," Xue Jian nodded.

Lin Li: "?"

"No, teacher, what I mean is, I'm not planning to go up the mountain alone, I'm taking Bai..."

"Even more no."

His name wasn't even finished before he was rejected again, and there was even an 'even more' added.

So Bai Bufan was a demerit item?

This useless thing.

Damn, if I had known, I wouldn't have asked him. I would have asked Wang Ze and the others.

However, Lin Li also roughly understood why Xue Jian's attitude was like this, so he immediately explained, "Teacher, I've checked. There are no massage parlors or foot massage parlors on the mountain. We really won't go to that kind of place this time! I really just want to feel my youth! The weather is so nice today..."

"No," Xue Jian said with a deadpan expression.

Lin Li actually checked this information?!

Then he couldn't let him and Bai Bufan act alone even more.

Xue Jian wasn't really worried about Lin Li and Bai Bufan getting into trouble. He was more worried about these two humanoid creatures causing trouble.

They wouldn't get lost themselves, but they would lose his face.

"Looks like there's no other way. Let's take the cable car. But this is force majeure, our agreement still stands," Bai Bufan was quite happy. He wasn't annoyed at all upon hearing this and said cheerfully.

Lin Li sighed.

If he didn't complete the mission today, he would have to come to Pingjiang alone to climb Yunliu Mountain in the future, which would be too troublesome.

I have no choice but to do this... Lin Li immediately used his thunder technique.

—It wasn't the Pure Righteous Thunder Control Art, but using his phone to summon people.

「Lin Li: @Chen Yuying Class President, Class President, Class President, urgent, urgent, urgent—」

「Chen Yuying: What's wrong?」

「Lin Li: Don't get on the cable car yet, I'm coming over to talk to you about something!」

Then Lin Li immediately came to Chen Yuying, who was about to get on the cable car.

"Class President, one cannot have both youth and the perception of youth at the same time. We absolutely cannot waste our youth now!"

Lin Li subconsciously wanted to grab Chen Yuying's shoulders, but because it was an off-the-shoulder dress, her shoulders were completely exposed, with only two thin transparent straps. It didn't seem right for him to put his hands there like that. So after a feint, he changed to holding her arm.

In the corner, Wang Yuezhi's myocardial infarction was cleared and then blocked again. What Lin Li was holding was not Chen Yuying's arm, but his heart's blood vessels.

"Speak human, will you," Ding Sihan said impatiently from the side.

You just had to butt in.

After glaring at Ding Sihan, Lin Li began to explain to Chen Yuying:

"In human terms, it's like this. The scenery of Yunliu Mountain is indeed nice, but it's not limited to the summit. And the cable car feels a bit lacking. So Bai Bufan and I decided to walk up the mountain. But our character, in Old Man Jian's eyes, has a little, tiny, tiny bit of a misunderstanding.

In short, he's not willing to trust us. So I sincerely invite you, Class President, to climb the mountain with us. With you here, Old Man Jian will surely be at ease and let us go.

How about it? You can rest assured, it won't be tiring. We can have other classmates help us carry unnecessary things on the cable car. I'll be fully responsible for things we need to carry on the way, like water. The mountain is not high, and the road is not steep. This is a real autumn trip!"

"Mmm..." It was basically impossible to give an immediate response to such a sudden request. Before answering, Chen Yuying asked with some confusion, "Lin Li, when I asked you before, didn't you say that even a mountain like this is quite boring to climb?"

When Chen Yuying was making the autumn trip plan, she would often ask for Lin Li's opinion at noon.

"...I was really pretentious before," Lin Li could only say with an awkward smile.

His master hadn't given him a mission before, what could he do?

"Then let me think about it..." Chen Yuying pursed her lips, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Class President, please. As long as you agree, I'll never be a blatant pervert again. I'll be as sneaky as possible when I look at your legs!" Seeing Chen Yuying hesitate, Lin Li immediately upped the ante.

Then he cherished the time to be blatant and took a few more looks.

If he didn't look now, he could only sneak a peek in the future.

Then he took a few more sneaky looks to get used to it in advance.

Chen Yuying: "..."

"Thank you, but you should just be blatant."

"So you agree?" There was such a good thing? Lin Li said happily.

"Not yet..."

"Class President, if you don't agree, I'm going to start acting cute and begging you!" Lin Li took out his trump card upon hearing this.

Chen Yuying took a frightened step back, put her hands behind her back, and held down her skirt, afraid that Lin Li would pull on the corner of her clothes and 'act spoiled' like he did that noon.

"Sihan, Wanqiu, are you guys going?" Facing the 'aggressive' Lin Li, Chen Yuying looked at her two good friends beside her.

She didn't really care if she went or not, but if she were the only one, Chen Yuying would feel embarrassed, and it would also easily lead to more magical versions of the story being spread.

So she wanted to pull her companions along.

"I'm not going. I hate climbing mountains the most," Qu Wanqiu followed the path of laziness and refused firmly.

"Me? Tsk tsk, Lin Li, why don't you call me 'Mom' and let me hear it?" Ding Sihan, on the other hand, was a petty person who had gotten her way.

"Mom! Please!"

Just calling her 'Mom' was no big deal. Lin Li didn't even hesitate. If Ding Sihan wanted it, he would even call her great-grandmother.

"Aww~"

"Yuying, let's go. He's carrying the stuff anyway. The geological museum sounds pretty boring. It's better to take pictures of the scenery on the way."

Ding Sihan was satisfied and nodded at Chen Yuying.

Arigato, Nuan Yangyang-san.

If it weren't for the crowd, Lin Li would have really kowtowed to Ding Sihan.

"Alright, then let's go talk to Teacher Xue," Chen Yuying nodded.
