Taking Advantage of Someone’s Difficulties (1)

As a result of the accident, the academic exchange was canceled.

After receiving medical treatment, all the participating students were sent back to the academy in groups.

On the plane, Zhao She looked down through the porthole window at the gradually shrinking Aiwen Snowfield, a frozen land slowly covered by wispy clouds, soon disappearing out of sight.

He sighed with some complexity and touched the bandages on his head that had not yet been removed, lamenting.

“Alas, I didn’t expect the academic exchange would end like this…”

Wei Bocheng, at the side, echoed, “Yes. Who would have imagined it?”

“Speaking of which… What happened in the Aiwen Snowfield?” Zhao She asked with some confusion.

Regarding the forced cancellation of the academic exchange, the official explanation was that a massive blizzard had occurred in the southern canyon due to poor weather conditions. The trapped students were successfully rescued without any casualties.

All suspicions were downplayed.

But it was clear to Zhao She that things were far from simple.

The students trapped in the southern canyon, the mysterious appearance of a large number of mercenaries, the hidden cave deep in the canyon, and the “living sacrifice to summon the dragon,” as the mercenaries put it…

Wei Bocheng shrugged. “Who knows?”

He turned his head toward Zhao She and said carefully, “But no matter what happened in the Aiwen Snowfield, it was unrelated to us. The water is deep here and not something that students like us should be concerned about. Even if it’s solely for safety reasons, it’s best for us not to continue investigating it.”

Zhao She was deep in thought.

Although he was reluctant… he had to admit that Wei Bocheng was right.

After being rescued, Zhao She noticed two seemingly unrelated pieces of information.

The first was that the auction house in Aiwen District had been robbed and the second was that the government had organized a special investigation mission to Aiwen District to investigate the matter of the top officials of Aiwen District taking bribes due to corruption.

Whether or not there was a connection between these two pieces of information and the crisis they had experienced earlier and what the link was, Zhao She did not know.

He could only confirm that many forces were involved, which gave him a dangerous feeling.

Zhao She sighed. “… You’re right.”

He propped his chin up and looked out the window as he said, “Speaking of which, do you think the dragon summoning thing they talked about is real or not?”

Wei Bocheng answered, “It must’ve been fake.”

“That’s also right. The fantasy species had, after all, disappeared for ten of thousands of years.”

“So those mercenaries must be cult members, worshiping the dragon species.”

“Ah, I have heard that these kinds of people seemed to have an incurable obsession for the fantasy species, which had disappeared for ten of thousands of years, thinking of how to awaken the fantasy species, replace the humans, and restore the ancient times’ glory…”

“I think they are that kind of people.”

“These people are too stupid. Something like the dragons only exists in legends…”

The fantasy species that had disappeared for tens of thousands of years, the legendary Abyss dragon, Shi An, was curled up on the seat beside them.

He curled himself up a little tighter under the blanket, yawned sleepily, and closed his eyes drowsily.

Since all the magic in the dragon’s molt had been absorbed, Shi An felt his sleepiness had increased significantly.

Not sure if it was a side effect of the estrus suppression potion or the fact that the body needed to rest longer because it was slowly regaining strength… Shi An was even more sleepy than before.

When he woke up, the plane had landed.

The climate in the Central District was mild and although there was a little bit of fine snow in the air, it was still considered comfortable and pleasant compared to the cold weather of the Aiwen District.

The Ability Academy had also been informed. Instead of asking too many questions of the students attending the academic exchange, they arranged for a complete medical check-up service.

Although Shi An was basically unharmed, he went with the flow to the hospital, returned to his former single ward, and changed into the familiar hospital gown.

Shi An was happy about this.

It was nice to be patient, to be able to play games, eat snacks unlimitedly, and not attend classes. This was really perfect.

Just as Shi An was about to start his sinful day, the ward door was suddenly thrown open from the outside and a familiar figure rushed in.

Lin Yanming examined Shi An up and down for a while and after confirming that he didn't have any missing arms or legs, he sighed with relief and pulled out a chair to sit next to the hospital bed.

“I saw the news of the blizzard happening in the Aiwen District and became worried… Fortunately, nothing happened to you.”

The young man sat cross-legged on the bed, his hospital gown hanging loosely from his shoulders, looking delicate, frail, and pitiable.

Lin Yanming sighed.

Apart from this academic exchange meeting, he had never seen Shi An so eager to attend any event.

But the result was…

Lin Yanming said in a warm and relieved voice, “I knew the academic exchange was forced to be canceled this time, but you don’t have to feel too sad…”

Shi An tilted his head. “Don’t worry. I’m good.”

He wasn’t lying.

Perhaps for others, the academic exchange would be a fruitless trip.

But for Shi An, the journey to the Aiwen district was satisfying.

Not only had he recovered some of his treasures, but he had also ransacked the vault of the Aiwen Academy’s principal and the Aiwen District auction house’s warehouse. Most importantly, he had obtained important information about the whereabouts of his other treasures.

Of course, there was a bit of regret.

… such as not successfully turning Mu Heng into a collection of his own.

But other than that, Shi An was very satisfied with his trip.

Lin Yanming gave a compassionate smile. “Mm, I understand.”

Shi An: “…”

Lin Yanming said, “Oh, I’ve carefully taken notes for the lessons you missed when you went to the Aiwen District.”

He patted his chest and made a bold statement. “You don’t have to worry. You’ll never fall behind as long as I'm here!”

Shi An: “…”

Lin Yanming reached out and rubbed Shi An's hair as he examined the slender young man before him and said distressingly. “Alas, you’ve lost weight.”

The demon insect, who had been listening earlier, fell silent. “…”

In fact, Shi An was fed well by Mu Heng every day in the Aiwen District during his stay there. He had not only not lost weight but had even gained two pounds.

“Do you have any snacks you want to eat? I also brought you a game console. If you have something you want to play, you can tell me.”

Shi An: “!!!”

He nodded solemnly. “Yes, I have lost weight.”

He held out his hand and showed his bandaged wound to the other man. “Besides, I am injured and need to replenish well.”

Demon insect: “…”
