Before Tan Zhenman could respond, Yaqi interjected loudly, "What nonsense are you spouting? Even Senior Xili, the number one expert in the Federation, wouldn't dare guarantee anyone would pass the Three-Star Assessment. It requires talent and aptitude. How dare you say such a thing?"
Mo Wuji calmly looked at Yaqi and said, "I'm not like you. You think everything through, even when dating, you need to find a few backups first. If I'm not mistaken, this Feng Nan classmate is one of your backups, right? But your ability to decisively make a choice after the backup discovers the primary option is somewhat commendable. I don't think that far ahead. If I can do it, I can do it; if I can't, I can't. No pretense."
Mo Wuji not only saw that Yaqi didn't have deep affection for Feng Nan, but also that Feng Nan seemed more interested in Tan Zhenman than Yaqi.
"You..." Yaqi's face flushed red, but she couldn't explain anything.
In fact, her thinking was normal. Xian Zhiyang had a good personality and a decent family background. If she couldn't go to Diyuan Star in the future, Xian Zhiyang would indeed be the best choice. But Xian Zhiyang's aptitude was obviously lacking, and he definitely couldn't go to Diyuan Star. If she could go to Diyuan Star, she and Xian Zhiyang would obviously be incompatible. As for Feng Nan, he had a chance to go to Diyuan Star, so in her opinion, choosing a primary and backup option was perfectly normal.
Just as Mo Wuji said, if she found someone better than Feng Nan, she would still dump Feng Nan. In this era, love is a luxury; that's Lu Yaqi's viewpoint.
"Zhenman, I personally have no opinions about Senior Mo. It's just that Senior Mo's words are a bit shocking. Yaqi is actually right; even if Senior Xili came, he probably couldn't randomly let someone pass the Three-Star Assessment," Feng Nan said sincerely, not holding any grudges against Yaqi for Mo Wuji mentioning him as a potential backup.
Xian Zhiyang didn't speak. He naturally also thought that Mo Wuji's words were somewhat unrealistic. The Three-Star level assessment was really difficult to pass; it wasn't like the four or six level language exams. But unlike the others, he always felt that Mo Wuji was no ordinary person.
To the surprise of the others, Tan Zhenman actually looked at Mo Wuji very seriously and asked, "Senior Mo, are you telling the truth?"
"It's the truth. As long as you're willing to take me there, I can do it," Mo Wuji said affirmatively.
"Okay, I believe you," Tan Zhenman actually nodded.
Yaqi became anxious and quickly grabbed Tan Zhenman, "Zhenman, are you crazy? You believe even these kinds of words?"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Tan Zhenman's eyes, then she shook her head and said, "Yaqi, my aptitude isn't as good as yours. You still have a chance to enter the Three-Star Assessment, but I have no possibility at all. You also know what awaits me if I can't pass the Three-Star level assessment. I'm really unwilling."
Yaqi fell silent. Tan Zhenman was also a woman from a not-small family. In the interstellar era, beauty is useless. For families, beautiful women in the interstellar era who don't have aptitude and can't contribute more to the family, the only way out is to marry into another family to attract stronger forces to help the family. This kind of fate is simply not something Tan Zhenman can stop on her own.
"Let's go. First, accompany me to the dormitory. I'll take some daily necessities, and then I'll go to Jingyang with you immediately." Seeing Yaqi's silence, Tan Zhenman said to Mo Wuji very firmly.
"Zhenman, I'm also returning to Jingyang Star Academy. How about I accompany you and Senior Mo together?" Feng Nan quickly said.
Tan Zhenman shook her head. She looked at Feng Nan and said, "Feng Nan, we're not suitable. And I have my own path. You can follow me once, but you can't follow me for a lifetime. Let's go, Senior Mo."
"No need to call me Senior. Just call me Mo Wuji. I haven't been a student for a long time," Mo Wuji admired this Tan Zhenman; she was very decisive, and once she made a decision, she wouldn't hesitate at all.
"..." Hearing Tan Zhenman's words, Feng Nan immediately became embarrassed. In fact, he was more enthusiastic towards Tan Zhenman than towards Yaqi. If he didn't know that his chances with Tan Zhenman were relatively low, he would have actively pursued Tan Zhenman instead of Yaqi.
Mo Wuji also knew about Jing Shou Mountain; it was really too big. If he still had his divine sense, he wouldn't need Tan Zhenman's help. Now that he didn't have his divine sense, it would probably be difficult to find the place where Wen Xiaoqi erected the monument on the vast Jing Shou Mountain.
"Mo Wuji, I'll see you off," Xian Zhiyang said quickly when he saw that Tan Zhenman was really willing to take Mo Wuji to Jing Shou Mountain.
Mo Wuji stopped and said, "Zhiyang, thank you for taking me to the hospital. Now that I'm leaving, I don't know if we'll meet again. I don't know what your plans are?"
Hearing Mo Wuji ask about his plans, a shadow passed over Xian Zhiyang's eyes. "My aptitude is limited. It would be good if I could pass the Two-Star Assessment in my lifetime, so I have no chance to go to Diyuan Star in this lifetime. I only hope that after graduation, I can help my parents manage the family business well. Maybe if my business grows big in the future, I can use capital to accumulate a qualification to go to Diyuan Star."
Mo Wuji patted Xian Zhiyang and said, "I'll only tell you two things: first, don't think about going to Diyuan Star. I haven't been there, and I'm sure it's not as good as Earth. Second, if your business grows big, don't even think about buying a qualification for Diyuan Star. Remember my words, buy a lot of land in developed cities; it's definitely not wrong."
Mo Wuji wasn't talking nonsense. Countless planets in the starry sky were torn apart in the battles of experts. Once planets like Diyuan Star are discovered by experts, the ending is either being refined or torn apart.
He didn't know how Diyuan Star was discovered, but he was sure that Diyuan Star wasn't as hidden as Earth. Earth should be one of the most hidden planets in the vast void; otherwise, it wouldn't have survived to this day.
Moreover, Mo Wuji had decided to build a huge protective array for Earth and even the solar system before he left. This kind of Ninth-Level Starry Sky Protective Array, even if discovered by cultivation experts in the future, they wouldn't dare to smash it casually. Because smashing it would mean forming a deadly feud with the person who set up the protective array. An expert who can set up a Ninth-Level Star System Protective Array, even an Immortal Emperor wouldn't dare to casually form a deadly feud, right?
Looking at the departing figures of Mo Wuji and Tan Zhenman, Xian Zhiyang suddenly had an impulse. He actually wanted to drop out of school immediately and hoard land. Now, the wealthy and resourceful people are leaving one after another. Earth's environment is polluted, and land has become the least valuable thing.
"You shouldn't have advised Xian Zhiyang like that. Earth's environment is getting worse and worse, and it will collapse sooner or later. Going to Diyuan Star still gives you a chance. You're interrupting his ambition." After walking away with Mo Wuji, Tan Zhenman suddenly said.
Mo Wuji didn't care about Tan Zhenman's words. Your vision determines what you say. From Tan Zhenman's knowledge and vision, what she said wasn't wrong. He didn't intend to persuade Tan Zhenman to stay on Earth and not participate in the Three-Star Assessment. That had nothing to do with him. His deal with Tan Zhenman was just to help Tan Zhenman pass the Three-Star Assessment.
Seeing that Mo Wuji didn't say anything more, Tan Zhenman didn't say much either. She was indeed a bit different. In just under half an hour, she had packed all her belongings and left Xingwu University campus with Mo Wuji.
"It takes six hours to get from Qishu City to Jingyang City by high-speed rail, and four hours by plane. How are we going?" Tan Zhenman asked as soon as they left Xingda. She was more eager to pass the Three-Star Assessment than Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji hesitated and said, "I lost my ID card..."
"Then we'll take the high-speed rail. I have a way to get you through the inspection." Before Mo Wuji could suggest that Tan Zhenman charter a car to Jingyang City, Tan Zhenman interrupted Mo Wuji's words.
...
Tan Zhenman wasn't bragging. An hour later, she was sitting on the high-speed rail to Jingyang City with Mo Wuji.
Not only that, but she also booked a business class compartment separately. From this, it could be seen that Tan Zhenman's family was very wealthy.
"Senior Mo, it's more appropriate for me to call you Senior, after all, you're going to help me pass the Three-Star Assessment. Now it's at least six hours to Jingyang City. I wonder if Senior can guide me on how to pass the Three-Star Assessment during this time?" As soon as the train started, Tan Zhenman locked the business compartment and directly brought up the matter that Mo Wuji had promised.
Mo Wuji nodded and asked, "First, tell me what the Three-Star Assessment tests and what requirements you need to meet."
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Tan Zhenman stared blankly at Mo Wuji. Her eyes were filled with anger and disappointment in an instant. Mo Wuji didn't even know what the Three-Star Assessment tested, yet he dared to say that he could definitely help her pass the Three-Star Assessment. She was really bewitched and believed such a person's words.
After a long time, the anger and disappointment in Tan Zhenman's eyes gradually dissipated, and finally they were filled with helplessness and bewilderment.
"Sigh..." Tan Zhenman sighed and slowly said to Mo Wuji, "Just consider it my sponsorship for your train ticket. I'll get off at the next station. In the future, you go your sunny path, and I'll still walk my single-log bridge."
Mo Wuji knew what Tan Zhenman meant. He looked at Tan Zhenman calmly and said, "I don't know about the Three-Star Assessment, not because I'm lacking, but because the Three-Star Assessment is lacking. Lacking to the point that I don't even want to understand it. Now I'm only trying to understand this assessment because I need you to lead the way. If I didn't need you to lead the way, whether you leave or not would have nothing to do with me, but now I can only do something to make you believe me."
Speaking of this, Mo Wuji looked at Tan Zhenman's bag and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you have a short sword in your bag. You can take out your short sword and slash my arm with it."
"You want me to use my Tan family's knife to slash you?" Tan Zhenman's eyes widened. She suspected that she had met a madman. The Tan family started out with all kinds of knives, and even people going to Diyuan Star had bought knives from the Tan family. Now Mo Wuji was actually asking her to slash him with a knife. Didn't he know that her Tan family's knives could even cut through steel bars?
