Raising A Golden Crow In Secret - Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Du Veryweak

The sun was setting. Fire clouds covered the horizon.

As the school bus slowly drove away at the entrance of No. 17 High School, a few young faces appeared on the road behind the bus.

The cadets greeted each other and said their goodbyes. Finally, Du Yu was left alone, facing the familiar streets.

“Sigh…” Du Yu sighed deeply. He was carrying a tattered school bag that was filled with Li Mengnan’s love.

Yes, Li Mengnan’s love for Shal.

Previously, when the school bus was about to leave, Li Mengnan had caught up with them. She had packed 10 bags of high-level demon pet rations from the canteen and stuffed them all into Du Yu’s hands.

At that time, the students on the school bus had different expressions. They were more envious and jealous of Du Yu than the multi-colored demon pet. Who wouldn’t love a beautiful rich lady like Li Mengnan?

The little rich lady did not take the school bus with Du Yu. Instead, she left in her father’s car to join the gold-medal team and receive better education.

In the past, the girl’s words of extreme invitation to Du Yu still lingered in his ears:

“The only way out is for us older Awakened to form small groups and help each other.”

“Why would those privileged people bring a burden like us?”

“Even if someone really helps us, how can we get a share of the rare fruits and demon pets we encounter during our training?”

Du Yu silently looked at the setting sun on the horizon, feeling a little uneasy about the future.

He had received too much care from the Li family, and Li Mengnan’s demon pet rations had given him some time to catch his breath. He hoped that he could earn money as soon as possible after obtaining the custom-made demon soldiers tomorrow.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Du Yu took a few steps back and stood on the sidewalk. He put down the tattered school bag in his right hand and took his phone out of his pocket.

‘Someone actually called me?’

That was novel.

Du Yu looked at the unfamiliar phone number on the screen. The five sevens seemed to indicate that the other party had some spare money?

“Hello.” Du Yu answered the phone.

“Du Yu?” A slightly cold female voice came on the line. It was very recognizable.

Immediately, a beautiful silhouette appeared in Du Yu’s mind.

“Demon Academy, Yang Qingqing.” The other party introduced herself and matched the image in Du Yu’s mind.

Interestingly, the first thing Du Yu thought of was not Yang Qingqing’s face, but her slender figure.

During their brief encounter on the battlefield, Du Yu only remembered the other party’s waist.

No, that was not a waist, but a knife that could cut people…

Du Yu said, “Hello, Teacher.”

“You saw my invitation?”

“I did. Teacher Zhang Qing explained it very clearly to me.” Yang Qingqing said softly, “I also heard from Zhang Qing that many teachers are fighting with me for you. She asked me to take the initiative.”

‘Initiative?’

So, Teacher Zhang Qing also wants me to become Yang Qingqing’s disciple? Du Yu had a very good impression of Teacher Zhang Qing. From the beginning to the end, she had always been especially gentle and patient with Du Yu.

Yang Qingqing asked, “How is it? So many teachers have invited you. Do you have an answer in your heart?”

Du Yu said, “No, my understanding of the Demon Academy and even the entire Demon Taming World is very shallow. It’s already my honor to have a teacher take a fancy to me.”

Yang Qingqing sat at the dining table and fiddled with the small Lvluo on the table. She smiled softly.

He was humble enough. If Lin Shihang could be so sensible, his family would be in deep trouble.

“Teacher Yang?” Du Yu spoke softly when there was no response for a long time.

Yang Qingqing rubbed the leaves with her slender fingers. “I just chatted with Shiyi and learned about your situation.

I wanted to ask about your performance during training, but Shiyi told me that not only did you have some conflicts with Lin Shihang during the assessment, but the two of you also didn’t get along well during training.”

Duyu said, “Yes. He wants my rare colored fox.”

Yang Qingqing said, “If you really gave him Little Fox, I wouldn’t have called you. I might have even withdrawn the invitation.”

‘I think very highly of you, Du Yu.’

Regardless of whether you and I are fated to be master and disciple, I also believe that you will definitely be able to successfully enter the Demon Academy. This is my phone number. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can call me anytime.”

Beep… Beep… Beep…

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Qingqing hung up.

Du Yu listened to the busy tone in his ear and fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, in a restaurant.

Yang Qingqing put down her phone and looked at the beautiful girl sitting opposite her. “Are you satisfied?”

Lin Shiyi blushed slightly and said indignantly, “Aunt Qing, believe me! Du Yu is really outstanding. Besides, don’t you have a quota for training and completing missions every year? This is a win-win situation!”

Yang Qingqing was 26 or 27 years old and looked very compatible with a young girl like Lin Shiyi. She smiled and teased, “Have you taken a fancy to him? Why did you come all the way here to invite me to dinner for him?” Hearing this, Lin Shiyi, who was already blushing, blushed. “You… you, Aunt!”

As she spoke, the phone screen on the table suddenly lit up. Yang Qingqing turned around and saw Du Yu’s number.

She reached for the phone and picked it up again. “Du Yu?”

“Hello, Teacher Yang! After careful consideration, I want to become your disciple.”

Yang Qingqing couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly. “Your 20 second long careful consideration?”

Du Yu clearly stuttered. “Then… then I’ll call you back in half an hour?”

“Heh.” Yang Qingqing smiled and spat. “Meet me at Creek Tree Garden at eight-thirty tomorrow morning.”

“Teacher Yang, I have to go to the Demon Spirit Academy tomorrow morning to collect the customized demon soldiers.”

“I’ll collect it for you. Come and get it from me tomorrow.”

“Oo, okay.” As the caller hung up, Du Yu lowered the phone and let out a long sigh of relief.

He had lied just now. On the way back on the school bus, Du Yu had learned about the teachers on the list.

There were three teachers who specialized in the fire attribute, and only two of them played with bows, including Yang Qingqing.

Du Yu’s thoughts were also very simple. His teacher had called personally. If she gave him face like this, he had to take responsibility. After all, she was a teacher of the Demon Academy. It was impossible for her to make things difficult for him like Li Mengnan had said. At the moment, he was no different from a weed, so how could he be targeted by a big shot?

Moreover, with Teacher Zhang Qing’s recommendation, Du Yu was willing to trust the gentle and kind deputy director of the admissions office.

After combining all the factors, Du Yu found his first mentor. As long as they had a good relationship in the future, he should be able to be his first backer.

After all, Yang Qingqing was also a member of the Lin family. In Songguta City, her backing was strong enough.

Thinking of how Teacher Qingqing had slapped Lin Shihang so hard that he didn’t dare to make a sound, Du Yu felt that he might gain something by following her.

With the disciple at her hand, why would she kill a chicken with a cow slaughtering knife?

When I become Teacher Qingqing’s disciple, I’ll help her slap Lin Shihang in the future!

Ya~

“Just very comfortable.’

Du Yu’s mood improved a lot. He picked up his tattered bag and walked all the way to Teacher Li Hong’s house.

Ten minutes later, he knocked on Teacher Li Hong’s door.

Click. The door to the house opened. Under the warm living room light was Teacher Li Hong’s slightly proud expression.

As the lights in the house shone on Du Yu, what followed was the fragrant smell of food.

“Du Yu is back. I heard from Nan Nan that you got the title of an outstanding student.” Li Hong had a loving smile on her face. Her seriousness and sternness that belonged to the form teacher seemed to have been left behind in the school.

“Lucky, hehe, I got lucky.” Du Yu scratched his head.

“Come in quickly.” Li Hong stepped back and looked Du Yu up and down. The more she looked at him, the more relieved she felt. “The meal has just been prepared. Quickly change your shoes.”

As she spoke, Li Hong walked back to the kitchen. From afar, she heard someone say, “Nan Nan and her father…”

Du Yu hurriedly interrupted the form teacher. “I know, Teacher Li. It’s a good thing to have the chance to join a gold team for training.

“By the way, Teacher Li, because I’m an outstanding student and was chosen by the teachers of the Demon Academy, I have to report to the school tomorrow. It can be considered an early training for me.”

“Oh?” Li Hong came out of the kitchen with the dishes. Seeing that Du Yu didn’t seem to be lying, she smiled proudly. “Okay, okay.”

During dinner, Du Yu told Teacher Li Hong about the past few days and also told her many stories about Li Mengnan’s growth.

Li Hong only felt that Du Yu was trying to make her happy. She didn’t believe that Li Mengnan had grown so quickly.

Amidst the laughter, dinner was very warm.

However, after dinner, when Du Yu was washing the dishes, he told Teacher Li Hong about moving away again.

Moreover, Du Yu’s words were impeccable. He said that he wanted to move to the Demon Academy. As a result, Li Hong happily agreed.

But where did Du Yu have a place to stay?

He was just unwilling to disturb others’ normal lives.

Still… not a big problem.

It was a hot summer now, and the Demon Academy had issued wilderness survival equipment. Staying in the Demon Spirit World to carry out missions and cultivate day and night was not a bad choice?

The demonic aura in the Demon Spirit Mystic Realm was rich. Little Scorcher and Shal should like it very much, right?

Right, about the Scorching Solar Vision…

After cleaning up the kitchen, Du Yu hurriedly returned to his bedroom and also called out in his mind, “Little Scorcher, Little Scorcher?”

“Hmm… hah…” Did Little Scorcher yawn?

Du Yu said apologetically, “Did I wake you?”

“Mmm.” Little Scorcher’s figure quietly appeared, looking sleepy. She floated in front of Du Yu and snuggled into his arms.

Du Yu subconsciously reached out to take it, but the Scorcher’s small body was illusory.

She rubbed her eyes and floated diagonally in Du Yu’s arms…

‘It doesn’t matter if you can’t touch it. What you want is a feeling?’

Du Yu whispered, “During the assessment today, my eyes were so hot that I felt that the enemy’s movements had slowed down. Is that also the effect of the Scorching Solar Vision?”

“Yes.” Little Scorcher looked sleepy. “You only understood a little. You can only use it for a while.”

Du Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, “What other functions does the Scorching Solar Vision have? Tell me everything. I’ll comprehend them one by one.”

“Oh?” Little Scorcher raised her little face and looked at Du Yu with her sunset-colored eyes.

She thought about it seriously for a long time before saying, “Not yet~ Your body is too fragile. Your eyes will be burned out.”

Du Yu was speechless.

“Go, go, grow quickly.” Little Scorcher’s figure quietly disappeared and entered Du Yu’s glabella acupoint, continuing to soak in Du Yu’s fire attribute body to recuperate.

Only a few seconds later, a soft sentence came into Du Yu’s mind. “You can try seeing through the night first.”

‘Seeing through the night?’

Du Yu hurried to the window and looked out at the quiet neighborhood with streetlights.

The neighborhood lights couldn’t cover the dark completely. There were always dim places.

Du Yu stared intently at a dark corner. The more he looked, the brighter and hotter his eyes became.

Suddenly, Du Yu’s eyes were covered in a light red color, and the entire world changed colors!

It was as if he was wearing special night vision goggles. The image was a pale red. The corner of the building, which had been dark, suddenly opened up. Everything was clear. “Hiss…” In just five to six seconds, Du Yu felt that his eyes were terrifyingly hot and hurriedly closed them.

“Wow! You really can- Du Yu is awesome!”

“Mhm…”

“But it’s only been a few seconds. Du Yu is so weak ~”

Du Yu was speechless.
