They solemnly merged their identity cards with their left arms. From now on, they were also legal residents of the Cang Lang Continent.
At this moment, another ascender came with assessment documents. Seeing that others had come, Yu Huang and the others couldn't continue to disturb Si Cheng.
"Mr. Si Cheng, we'll take our leave first." After saying goodbye to Si Cheng, Yu Huang and the others were about to leave.
However, Si Cheng stopped them. "Wait a moment."
Everyone stopped.
In the next second, seven colored notices appeared in the void in front of them.
Si Cheng said, "This is the recruitment notice of the various universities in the Cang Lang Continent this year. You guys can take it back and study it carefully." After a pause, Si Cheng looked at Donor and Estelle meaningfully as he said, "Cang Lang Academy is indeed the most prestigious Beast Tamer Academy, but it's not suitable for everyone. If any of you plan to cultivate the two-person battle mode, I suggest that you consider the Special Beast Tamer Academy."
Donor and Estelle exchanged looks and raised their hands to hold the notice at the same time. Then, they bowed to Si Cheng gratefully. "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Si Cheng."
"Yes, let's go."
Then, the seven of them turned around and left.
However, Si Cheng stopped Yu Huang. "Yu Huang."
Yu Huang stopped and turned around to look at Si Cheng.
Si Cheng smiled and said, "Your father once told me that he hopes that one day, a new name will appear under his name on the celebrity rankings."
Si Cheng hoped that the person would be Yu Huang.
He had high hopes for Yu Huang.
Yu Huang nodded seriously and said, "I'll work hard. Goodbye, Mr. Si Cheng."
"Goodbye."

The seven of them successfully registered their identity cards, so logically speaking, they should have left. However, Lin Jiansheng said, "Let's wait another day. I'll talk to Mr. Zhang tonight." He was still unwilling to give up custody of Ah Kong.
He Zhiqiu also said, "Xiao Ya said that she would give us an answer within three days, so I want to stay and wait for an explanation."
He Zhiqiu was still brooding over the ten years he had been deceived.
"…Alright, then let's stay for another night." Yu Huang was still waiting to be rewarded with 10,000 spirit stones.
That night, Lin Jiansheng didn't stay in the tent with Yu Huang and the others. He ran to Mr. Zhang's cotton shop.
Mr. Zhang was about to close the door when he saw Lin Jiansheng. He narrowed his eyes and increased the speed of closing the door.
Lin Jiansheng teleported and appeared behind Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang turned around and glared at him. Then, he said angrily, "Do you really think I don't dare to beat you up?!"
Lin Jiansheng said, "I'm a Purifying Spirit Master, so I can sense the existence of souls. If you have any item that has Qing Ya's remnant soul, I can help you find Qing Ya's reincarnation."
Mr. Zhang was speechless.
Mr. Zhang said, "If you want to use Ah Kong's custody to exchange for this information, then I choose to give up." Qing Ya was already dead. So what if he found her reincarnation?
Was the person who reincarnated still Qing Ya?
Seeing that Mr. Zhang was unmoved, Lin Jiansheng suddenly sat on the ground and said shamelessly, "Then I'll sit here and wait until you agree."
Mr. Zhang snorted. "Then sit there until you die."
Mr. Zhang walked past Lin Jiansheng and headed upstairs. However, he met Ah Kong at the corner of the corridor. Mr. Zhang lowered his head and looked at Ah Kong. He had probably guessed Ah Kong's thoughts, so he said coldly, "I won't let you go with him."
Ah Kong was Qing Ya's child, so it was impossible for him to let Ah Kong leave with Lin Jiansheng.
Ah Kong suddenly reached out his hands and held Mr. Zhang's hand timidly. The child's hand was so soft and small, but when Mr. Zhang's right hand was grabbed tightly by Ah Kong, he didn't even dare to move.
Ah Kong told Mr. Zhang in a low voice, "They all said that my mother was going to marry you and give birth to a child with you, but I jinxed my mother to death. I'm your nemesis and jinxed the woman you loved to death."
Mr. Zhang's gaze froze slightly. He asked Ah Kong hoarsely, "Who told you this?"
At the thought of a possibility, Mr. Zhang revealed an angry expression. He pointed downstairs and said with a dark expression, "Did Lin Jiansheng tell you to say that?"
Ah Kong shook his head and said, "One day, you drank too much and thought I was asleep, so you sat by my bed and scolded me for being my nemesis and killing my mother." Then, Ah Kong added softly, "I wasn't asleep. I still remember it."
Mr. Zhang was stunned.
He remembered that it happened last month. That day was Qingya's death anniversary. Mr. Zhang felt bereaved, so he went to the canteen to drink for a long time. When he returned and saw the child sleeping quietly on the small bed in the living room, he couldn't help but feel hatred.
If it wasn't for this child, Qing Ya wouldn't have died.
So that night, Mr. Zhang said a lot of harsh words when he was drunk.
Unexpectedly, Ah Kong was awake.
pAn-d a-n0ve1.com Mr. Zhang regretted his actions and hurriedly apologized to Ah Kong. "I was drunk that day! I didn't mean it, Ah Kong…"
Ah Kong shook his head and said firmly, "You're lying, Mr. Zhang. That's what you really think. You hate me for jinxing mother." Children actually weren't that naive, especially sensitive children like Ah Kong, who had grown up taking potluck and was at the mercy of others.
He knew that Mr. Zhang hated him, but he still pretended not to know anything.
Because he wanted to live.
In the entire town, only Mr. Zhang was willing to give him a bed and a room to hide from the cold.
Ah Kong continued, "Mr. Zhang, you're very good to me in every way, but you don't love me." As Ah Kong looked downstairs, he cried and said, "Uncle Lin looks very intimidating and seems like a bad person, but he loves me. If someone loves me, then I'll be happy to follow him even in the wind and rain."
Ah Kong suddenly knelt down. Then, he grabbed Mr. Zhang's hand and leaned his head on his knee. He begged him while crying, "Mr. Zhang, can you give me to him?"
Mr. Zhang looked at the little kid kneeling in front of him in silence and anguish.
He finally understood what regret felt like.
Back then, Qing Ya had also knelt on the ground and begged him like this. She said, "Brother Ah Yu, I really didn't cheat on you. I don't know where this child came from, but I swear that you're the only man I've ever had. Don't chase me away, okay?"
But he still chased Qing Ya away.
Back then, Qing Ya knelt on the ground and begged him not to let her go, but Ah Kong knelt on the ground and begged him to let him go…
How laughable.
Mr. Zhang pulled Ah Kong's hand away and strode upstairs. Then, he slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Ah Kong was so frightened that he trembled.
He sat on the stairs and pursed his lips without daring to make a sound.
He was afraid that if he cried too loudly, he would anger Mr. Zhang.
Suddenly, the door behind him opened. Mr. Zhang threw a brand new bag to Ah Kong and shouted at him with red eyes, "Leave! Don't come back after you leave! Regardless of whether you're doing well or not, don't come back!"
With that, Mr. Zhang closed the door.
After Ah Kong wiped the tears off his face, he picked up his bag and opened it. He found his birth certificate, some books, and a pendant containing his mother's ashes. And… a bank card.
Ah Kong recognized the bank card. It was Mr. Zhang's bank card.
Ah Kong put down his bag and knelt on the corner platform. Then, he kowtowed to the tightly shut door three times and said, "Mr. Zhang, I will never forget your kindness in raising me. I will come to see you again in the future."
There was silence inside for a while before Mr. Zhang roared, "Get lost!"
Ah Kong picked up his bag and rushed downstairs.
Lin Jiansheng caught him and wiped the tears off his face as he asked him, "Why are you crying?"
Ah Kong hugged Lin Jiansheng's neck tightly and buried himself in it. He sobbed and said, "I won't be taking potluck anymore. I will only eat your family's food."
"Nonsense. That's our family's food." Lin Jiansheng carried Ah Kong up with one hand and let him sit on his arm. He carried Ah Kong and as he walked, he said, "Kong Qing, if you follow me, you will be able to eat delicacies and drink nectar…"
Mr. Zhang stood at the window and stared at Lin Jiansheng and Ah Kong's backs as they left. He pursed his lips and scolded, "What delicacies? You're so poor that you can't even afford buns!"
