Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 276 Summer Vacation

"No, it really isn't!" Seeing her looking at him with amusement, Slu thought there might still be a chance, so he told her the whole story without holding back.

"That's exactly what happened. That guy betrayed me and led most of my men into the barrier to invade you humans! I swear every word is true!"

Seeing his expression, Lin Yue began to believe him somewhat, but that didn't mean she intended to let him go.

"A monster like you is a huge threat to humanity and Kamen Riders. I must destroy you today!" With that, golden light emanated from her body, and she was about to transform into the Heavenly Emperor Armor.

"No!" Slu quickly stood up. Seeing that the other person's complexion had improved, he decided to press his advantage: "Look, I haven't done anything to you humans, have I? I call myself king, and I've even created a queen's position for you..."

Seeing Lin Yue's face darken, he quickly changed his tune: "No, no, no, Your Majesty! It's Your Majesty! I will follow your lead!"

Lin Yue laughed at his shamelessness: "You're supposed to be the leader of some eccentric group, yet you have no bottom line! But do you think I'll let you off the hook like this?"

Seeing Lin Yue's resolute attitude, Slu knew he couldn't persuade her, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Wait! Give me another chance, I promise I will never invade your human territory again!"

As he spoke, he stood up, grinning, "Look at your complexion, it's fair and rosy with a healthy glow, it's clear that you have a strong spleen and stomach and plenty of qi and blood!"

As he spoke, he suddenly moved behind Lin Yue and said, "Looking at your hair, it's black and thick, and it feels... uh, I mean, it looks so smooth and silky. You look very healthy and have plenty of kidney energy!"

"And speaking of your voice, it was loud, clear, and very penetrating, clearly indicating strong lungs; and your lips, they were pale pink and full..."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Lin Yue couldn't take it anymore.

"What I mean is, a beautiful and gentle young lady like you would definitely give me another chance, wouldn't you?"

Lin Yue was somewhat helpless at Silu's actions; she hadn't expected Silu to have such a personality.

"If you're still not appeased, I can even perform the traditional hand-kissing and foot-kissing ceremony for you, like the nobles of your human history, to express my respect." As he spoke, he actually intended to kneel down.

"Stop! Okay, okay, stop talking." Lin Yue was speechless. Slu was so shameless, he didn't even care about his dignity in order to survive! But why did he look so happy?

"So... you're planning to let me go?" Slu smacked his eyes.

"Yes! Alright!" Lin Yue finally decided to give Slu another chance. She dropped her mocking expression and her eyes turned icy: "But if you dare to invade human territory again, I will make your soul disappear!"

"Thank you! Thank you!" Slu was overjoyed that Lin Yue had agreed to give him another chance. "I promise, I will never invade human territory again! If I do, you can do whatever you want with me!"

Lin Yue ignored him, opened the dimensional barrier, and left.

"Hey, do you want to stay for a meal..." Before Silu could finish speaking, Lin Yue had already disappeared.

……

Time flies, and the final exams are here as scheduled.

The report card was posted on the bulletin board, and the summer sun made the paper feel hot.

Lin Yue squeezed through the crowd, her eyes scanning the top of the list like a hawk's—Li Yuetian's name was still firmly at the top, as expected. She looked away without surprise and continued searching downwards.

"20." When Lin Yue saw the number after her name, a clear smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. Compared to her midterm ranking of 24th, she had moved up 4 places! She was now firmly in the upper-middle tier of the class! A semester of hard work, under Li Yuetian's supervision, and with her own genuine determination, had yielded obvious results.

"Not bad, Lin Yue, you've made remarkable progress." Li Yuetian's voice rang out beside her with a smile. He had squeezed in at some point and had obviously seen her ranking as well.

"Thanks to Teacher Li," Lin Yue said in a good mood, cracking a rare little joke with her eyes crinkling, "It's also because of your 'effective teaching'."

"I only play a supporting role; the main thing is that you are willing to learn." Looking at her smile, Li Yuetian felt as if his heart was warmed by the summer sun.

Meanwhile, in City Y.

"Sis! Sis! I got accepted! Z City No. 2 High School! And it's the honors class!" Yun Yi rushed out of his room like a cannonball, holding his phone, his face full of undisguised excitement, and almost bumped into Yun Xiling who was carrying a fruit platter.

"Hey, slow down, Mom! It's good that you got accepted!" Yun Xiling steadied the fruit plate and was happy for him. "Second Middle School is a good school, and your sister Lin Yue is there."

"Of course, look who took the exam!" Yun Yi proudly raised her chin, then, as if remembering something, added in a slightly coquettish tone, "Sis, No. 2 Middle School... doesn't seem to have dormitories, right? Renting a place would be a real hassle."

Yun Xiling thought about it and agreed. An idea popped into her head. She put down the fruit plate and picked up her phone: "Wait, I'll think of something for you."

The call connected; it was Lin Mu.

"Mumu~ Xiaoyi got into No. 2 Middle School! The honors class!" Yun Xiling's voice was so sweet it could drip honey.

Lin Mu's voice on the other end of the phone was also filled with joy: "Really? That's great! This kid's got some potential!"

“Yes, yes,” Yun Xiling changed the subject, “However, there’s no dormitory at No. 2 Middle School. If Xiao Yi rents a place in Z City by himself, he won’t know anyone, and I’m a little worried. You see, Yueyue lives alone at your old house, right? I remember that house has three bedrooms and a living room, it’s just sitting empty…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu immediately became alert: "You want Xiao Yi to move in with Yue Yue? No way, Yue Yue is a girl, and Xiao Yi is already a boy, it's inconvenient!"

"Oh dear, what are you thinking!" Yun Xiling scolded. "You said it yourself, that house is hers. Of course we have to ask her opinion first! The room is empty anyway, and Xiao Yi can keep Yueyue company and look after each other. Yueyue is independent, but it'll be more lively with a younger brother around. Xiao Yi knows what he's doing. How about this, you ask Yueyue first, and if she doesn't agree, I absolutely won't say a word!"

Lin Mu was persuaded by his wife's persistent nagging, and after thinking about it, he realized she had a point. The key issue was that the house did indeed belong to his sister, Lin Yue. So, he dialed Lin Yue's number.

"Hey? Brother?" Lin Yue had just arrived home and was taking a bottle of milk out of the refrigerator to drink.

"Yueyue, how did you do on your final exams?" Lin Mu asked, concerned about her grades.

"Didn't I already send it to you? 20 people, not bad."

"Not bad, not bad! You've made great progress!" Lin Mu praised, and after chatting for a while about recent events, he finally got to the point, "Um... I need to discuss something with you. Yun Yi, your sister Yun's younger brother, you remember him? He got into your No. 2 Middle School, the honors class."

"Oh? He actually got in? He's got some talent." Lin Yue was a little surprised. She knew Yun Yi was studying in Y City and had told her before that he wanted to apply here, but she didn't expect him to actually get in.

“Yes, but there’s no dormitory at No. 2 Middle School. Your sister Yun is thinking of seeing if he can temporarily move to the old house and stay in my old room. Do you think... it’s convenient?” Lin Mu asked tentatively.

"Of course, if you're unwilling or feel it's inconvenient, I'll immediately refuse them. My main concern is that it's unsafe for him to rent a place alone, and there's no one to take care of him..."

Yue took her phone, walked to the living room sofa, sat down, and looked around the house that held her and her brother's childhood memories and now belonged to her.

It was true that the room was empty. As for Yun Yi, her impression of him wasn't bad. Yun Xiling had always been very kind to her, like an older sister. Her brother and sister Yun had settled down in Y City, so leaving Yun Yi alone in Z City was indeed a bit...

"Fine," Lin Yue replied readily. "It's just sitting empty anyway. But brother, you have to make it clear to him that this is my place, and I set the rules. Be clean, don't make noise, and especially don't touch my things."

"No problem! I'll tell Sister Yun right away and have her give that kid a good talking-to!" Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, his voice rising a few decibels. "I'll transfer you some extra living expenses later!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue thought, "Hmm, that feels good now."
