At a high-end western restaurant.
After the meal, Lin Qingmei waved her hand and asked the waiter to come over and remove the plate. Then, she took out a check from her pocket and handed it to Chu Yue.
"This is from the patriarch."
Chu Yue glanced at the number on the check. 500,000 was not a small amount.
However, he didn't take it. He asked curiously,"
"Master Lin, Lin Shuang gave it to me? Why?"
This was a direct " offer ", not a normal negotiation or betting process.
He didn't understand. He had never met the head of the Lin family. Why did she send money over to gain his favor? She was the head of a large family. There was no need for that.
Lin Qingmei smiled and told him what happened in the morning.
"That's why I said that this is a personal gift from the head of the family. You can treat it as if she admires you or likes you. There's no need to feel pressured.”
"I'll leave the 100 spirit cores in the car. I'll give them to you when I send you back.”
Lin Qingmei was afraid that Chu Yue would misunderstand, so she made it very clear that this check and spirit core had nothing to do with betting.
"Many families will contact you now, but they won't reveal their bargaining chips immediately. They still want to see which university you apply for and which teacher you follow.”
"When everything is settled, the clan will send someone to talk to you in detail.”
"I see."
Chu Yue nodded, indicating that he understood.
The reason was simple. Yang Cheng was located in the south. If he went to a university in the north to study, many southern families would probably give up on betting on him.
After all, there were also key universities in the South. If you chose to go to the North instead of going there, it was a declaration of your interest in the North. It was a sign that you were more likely to stay there after graduation.
A family's bet was essentially to nurture the blood of the family in advance. It was too risky to invest in those who went to school in other places. It was very likely that others would be abducted while they were still in school and choose to stay in the local area. This was a failed bet and a failed investment.
Lin Qingmei crossed her arms and placed them on the table. She blinked her big eyes and stared at Chu Yue with a burning gaze.
"You said you have something to ask me. What is it?”
She had guessed that Chu Yue might ask about applying for university.
However, Chu Yue's next words completely stunned Lin Qingmei.
"Qingmei, have you heard of the Mirage?”
Mirage?
How did he know about the Mirage?
Lin Qingmei's entire body trembled. She raised her hand to cover her small mouth, her eyes filled with surprise.
Looking at the change in Lin Qingmei's expression, Chu Yue knew that the beautiful teacher in front of him definitely knew about the Ethereal Extent.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingmei's reaction was extremely great. Her expression was solemn, and she stood up with a frown. After she stuffed the check into Chu Yue's hands, she pulled him out.
"We can't talk about this here.”
Chu Yue became even more curious and confirmed one thing. Information regarding the Ethereal Plane was indeed highly confidential!
It was easy to understand why Lin Qingmei knew. She was a core disciple of the Lin family, and the Lin family was ranked among the top families in the entire Yang Cheng.
Although her strength could not be considered top-notch, the title of core disciple of the Lin family itself was a symbol of authority.
Lin Qingmei pulled Chu Yue back to the car and left the underground parking lot. After driving for a while, they came to an empty street. They parked the car and closed the window.
She looked around and saw that there weren't many pedestrians. Then, she looked at Chu Yue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, with a serious expression and asked,
"Chu Yue, you have to answer me honestly. How did you know about the Ethereal Extent?”
After a pause, she added,
"This is confidential information. With your current status and authority, you shouldn't and shouldn't know about the Ethereal Plane. All the books and information about the Ethereal Plane should be in the hands of the officials.”
Chu Yue was already prepared for this. He stared at the beauty in front of him and said calmly,"
"I... I encountered a Mirage Creature."
" What?!"
Lin Qingmei's beautiful eyes widened as if she had heard something unbelievable.
To her, Chu Yue's words were indeed unbelievable.
"You, how could you encounter a Mirage Creature? Your contracted dragon knows a Mirage Creature?”
Chu Yue shook his head. He didn't hide the existence of the Golden Gecko and told Lin Qingmei the truth.
However, Chu Yue didn't mention the name and origin of Fang Lan.
He also hid the contents of their conversation and the second meeting tomorrow.
Chu Yue cut down most of the content, only saying that he had encountered a golden gecko. It claimed that it came from the Ethereal Plane and was attracted by the spiritual light last night. Then, it disappeared.
Even so, Lin Qingmei's face was still filled with shock.
"This is unbelievable. You... To actually encounter a Mirage Creature…"
After a while, she recovered and began to explain the Ethereal Extent to Chu Yue.
The first sentence shocked Chu Yue.
"Many years ago, the Void Realm was the Upper Realm, and the Human Realm was a low-level Lower Realm to the Void Realm.”
" From the only documents, information, and contact with Mirage Creatures, in human history, the immortals of the East, the gods of the West, as well as the True Lord, Pharaoh, Buddha, and other worshippers were all titles or identities of Mirage Creatures when they descended into the human world.”
Immortals and gods were actually just the identities of Mirage Creatures?!
This statement stunned Chu Yue for a moment.
This news was simply…It was too shocking!
Humans had worshipped immortals and gods since ancient times. Chu Yue did not hate this culture. He appreciated the art and beauty born from the worship of gods, such as western statues, oil paintings, eastern poems, ink paintings, and so on.
However, he himself was a firm atheist.
Lin Qingmei's words meant: Those gods and immortals were not fictional. They actually existed. At the very least, some of them had actually existed.
Chu Yue let out a long sigh. He finally understood why the officials had banned information about the Ethereal Plane.
Even now, there were many believers in the human world. If the believers knew that the " God " they had believed in for many years really existed, no one could predict what kind of turmoil would erupt.
Lin Qingmei sighed and said,"
"Fortunately, the Mirage Creatures you encountered should be friendly and didn't harm you.”
When Chu Yue heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. Hmm, not only did the Golden Gecko 'God' not hurt me, but it also wanted to secretly take advantage of my spiritual energy and was almost beaten up by my underling…
He had just met a "god"!
"However, this god is a little silly…"
Chu Yue rubbed his nose. He remembered Woz had just scolded the " god " and he still had to meet the " god " tomorrow. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
