It’s really hard to say whether the Death’s Sigh or the Hundred-Ton King is stronger or weaker.

Then, Lin Li went to the All-Women World again, but still didn’t trigger any tasks or unusual events.

After scavenging all night, he was exhausted, so he simply returned half an hour early to rest.

The next day, Wednesday, exam day.

The ground was wet, but the continuous rain had finally stopped.

The weather forecast confidently claimed there’d be no rain today, but looking at the leaden sky and the faint chilling drizzle in the air, Lin Li was skeptical.

But Lin Li always had a way.

It’s you then! "Celestial Secret Mirror"!

Before the mirror shattered, it fleetingly revealed the secret of nature: "Xiling will have rain today".

Lin Li let out a cold laugh.

Just knew it, the weather forecast and the Heavenly Dao are setting me up!

Oioioi, trying to trick me, better practice for a million years you fool! I am, after all, a Cultivator!

Lin Li felt his whole being ignited with passion!

Coolly, he put a raincoat and umbrella into his backpack, walked out the door with his head held high, declaring the "Celestial Secret Mirror" the most useful Magic Treasure acquired so far!

Just kidding.

Dumb "Celestial Secret Mirror".

Still can only predict the weather, dang it, F5 stuff.

It didn’t rain on the way to school, upon arriving, Lin Li parked his bike at the school gate but didn’t head straight to the classroom block, instead, he sat astride his bike seat waiting.

Lin Li wasn’t heading to the exam hall now.

Because going early meant there was a high probability of catching people discussing and preparing to cheat, and then, like in the first monthly exam, triggering the anti-cheating task.

Though he had the completion experience from one task, last time, his exam hall rank was around three or four hundred in class, making people in the exam hall apprehensive of his threat.

But this time it’s different, in the last exam hall, his threats are likely ineffective, and could even provoke their rebellious nature.

Dealing with them using humanitarian methods would be quite troublesome.

So Lin Li planned to avoid the issue by not seeing it.

Idle as he was, Lin Li simply decided to check the lecture hall.

Entering the spacious and bright lecture hall, Lin Li felt a sense of melancholy.

This broad hall was meant to be his exam hall! Now it’s not!

This first row, first spot was meant to be his seat! Now it’s not!

This stunning beauty meeting his gaze was meant to be his! Now... oh, it’s still his, no problem then, hehe.

"Lin Li, how come you’re here?"

Reciting old poetry, Chen Yu Ying noticed Lin Li approaching and immediately shut her book, her clear eyes lit up, lips curving naturally into a joyful arc as her voice carried excitement.

"Calculated that it would rain today, just wanted to remind you, checking if you brought an umbrella, if not, and it rains later, I’ll come to the lecture hall to fetch you."

Lin Li shook the umbrella in his hand, and nonchalantly took the empty seat beside her, explaining.

"Oh oh, I see."

"So, did you bring an umbrella?"

"Kind of regret bringing one now." She rested her chin on one hand, looking at him sideways, long lashes quivering as she smiled gleefully, a hint of mischief.

"Seems like you’re smarter than the weather forecast." Lin Li nodded approvingly.

Not only Wang Yuezhi from his class but students from other classes noticed his existence and theirs, so Lin Li suppressed the urge to pinch Chen Yu Ying’s cheeks.

Save it up for the weekend to indulge her.

Payback with interest.

Nine goes out, thirteen billion returns, interest calculated thusly, reasonable.

He stayed with Chen Yu Ying for a while as she reviewed, then seeing the teacher overseeing exams at the door, Lin Li stood up to leave: "Alright, I gotta head back to my exam hall, class twenty!"

"Good luck~ Do well," Chen Yu Ying waved smiling, starting to pack her things to move to the front.

With a sideways glance, she noticed Lin left something, quickly raised her volume a bit: "Lin Li, you forgot your umbrella, dummy~"

Lin Li stood still on the spot, paused for a second, and slowly turned back.

With a peculiar expression that was a smirk not quite a smile, he didn’t react with the typical fluster one would upon being told they left something behind, neither checking his things nor hurrying back.

Lin Li just quietly looked at her, until he let out a laugh with some amused helplessness.

Chen Yu Ying was slightly stunned, then realized, couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Oh oh~

This umbrella was intentionally left here by Lin Li, meaning should it rain at noon, she’d have to fetch this young master from class twenty as emphasized.

Well, it’s her fault.

"No big deal, I admit I was wrong, this isn’t your umbrella, bye~" Chen Yu Ying’s eyes shone with amusement, placing the umbrella back into the drawer and waving, even shooing Lin Li away.

"There is an issue! Hey! This is my umbrella!"

And yet Lin Li, all flustered, walked up without ceremony to snatch back his umbrella.

His eyes writing "I gave you the chance and you failed, now you react? Too late" in dissatisfaction.

Late love is worth less than weeds.

Complaint! Lin Li wants to report to the central office!

Their gazes met in mid-air, held for a second, then both laughed out loud simultaneously.

"This time you exposed my scheme, I’m not satisfied." Lin Li feigned a stern face, but his words were gentle.

"Sorry." Chen Yu Ying immediately switched to a pitiable expression, evoking compassion.

Even if Lin Li wasn’t human, he felt for her:
