Chapter 28 For the One I Love

Zhang Baiqing heard about Fingel's gambling and was surprised why Fingel was betting so big. 5000 US dollars was definitely a considerable sum of money for this German man.

Chu Zihang was also somewhat worried that Zhang Baiqing would be demoted and expelled because he failed the 3E exam.

But Zhang Baiqing comforted him and said that he had a way and he would not be fired.

At night, Chu Zihang, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, couldn't fall asleep for a long time. As long as he passed tomorrow's 3E test, he would be an official Kassel student.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet? Are you worried that I won't pass the 3E exam tomorrow? I've told you not to worry, I'm sure I'll pass it." Zhang Baiqing hung his head down from the upper bunk like a ghost.

"No, I just don't know if entering Kassel Academy is the right choice."

That man once told Chu Zihang not to join Kassel Academy because the academy was full of lunatics. Indeed, Kassel Academy was full of lunatics who wanted to slay dragons. After graduation, the academy would assign jobs to students, asking them to become dragon-slaying warriors. The best outcome might be that the body would be wrapped in leather and then transported back to China for burial. The worst outcome would be to die quietly in a foreign land, just like that man, carrying his unspeakable secret, forever staying in Nibelungen in the cold and rainy night.

He didn't want Chu Zihang to become a person like him, so he resolutely left his wife and children, just because he didn't want to drag the person he loved into this turbulent world.

Unfortunately, when Chu Zihang was trapped in the school due to heavy rain and sent him a text message, he still couldn't help but go over.

His biggest wish might be that Chu Zihang could grow up, get married, and grow old peacefully like an ordinary person, instead of becoming someone who lives on the edge of a knife like him.

"Why is it wrong?" Zhang Baiqing didn't think there was anything wrong. Chu Zihang didn't think that if he didn't join Kassel Academy, he wouldn't be able to enter the Dragon Blood World, right? Your future wife Xia Mi is a dragon king, did you know that?
Chu Zihang said softly: "Some people hope that I can grow up safely and be an ordinary person. It's not bad. Instead of slaying dragons with great fanfare, and only being a handful of yellow earth left in the end, with no one remembering it."

"Who?" Zhang Baiqing subconsciously thought of Su Xiaoyan, because Su Xiaoyan was the one who had accompanied Chu Zihang growing up. However, Su Xiaoyan didn't know about bloodline, and considering that Chu Zihang's bloodline was very high, it was very likely that he inherited the bloodline from his other half, so she thought of Chu Zihang's biological father whom she had met once.

To be honest, he didn't even know Chu Zihang's biological father's name. Chu Zihang had never mentioned this person in front of him, probably because he felt embarrassed.

He was also somewhat prejudiced against this man. He had such a beautiful wife and such a good child, but he didn't try hard to keep her and let her run away. It was really cowardly. Whether it was Su Xiaoyan or Chu Zihang, they were not the kind of people who despised the poor and loved the rich. Su Xiaoyan was a natural fool and easy to coax. If she could make a living, she would not run away with her child. Chu Zihang was obviously not a child when his mother took him away. If this father was not bad, Chu Zihang would not be silent when they met by chance.

Now it seems that the relationship between Chu Zihang and his biological father is far from as simple as it seems.

"my father."

The moonlight shone through the window and onto Chu Zihang's eyes, and there was a slight gleam in his eyes.

"He was the one who sent you out of the Nibelung?" Zhang Baiqing should have thought of it earlier. Chu Zihang had met Odin, and Odin was not a good man. How did he survive after meeting Odin?

After his first confrontation with Odin, this thought came to his mind, but before he had time to ask, he ran into Xia Mi and his attention was drawn to her. Later, he forgot about it because of Chu Zihang joining Kassel College and other things.

"Ah."

Chu Zihang hummed, and then the dormitory fell into silence.

Zhang Baiqing couldn't comment on anything because he didn't know much about the father and son. The natural feelings of fatherly and motherly love are very complicated. Most parents love their children, but they will show different attitudes in the process due to the environment.

Chu Zihang put his hands on the back of his head, thinking of how Chu Tianjiao loved him and his mother when he was a child, and how happy their family of three had been. Perhaps it was because he loved them too much that he left them cruelly. Because stubbornly keeping them by his side was like taking them on a knife's edge. How could he bear to let the people he loved live in such danger? ...

The 3E exam is conducted in a regular large classroom just like a normal college exam, with nameplates of each candidate placed on the table.

As soon as I entered the classroom, I saw the wretched senior student Finger standing beside the desk in high spirits. When he saw Zhang Baiqing, he smiled and said, "Hi! I'm the one collecting and distributing test papers today!"

Zhang Baiqing only had $3 to bet that he couldn't pass the 5000E exam, but he had $4.5 to bet that he could pass. He regretted it a little. If he had known that no one would follow his bet, he would not have borrowed money. But it didn't matter. Even if the king of heaven came today, Zhang Baiqing would not be able to resonate with "Longwen"! As long as he finished the exam, he could pay off the debt immediately!
Chu Zihang nodded expressionlessly. Zhang Baiqing glanced at this guy, a little confused about what this funny guy was thinking. He couldn't be really crazy because of poverty, right?
The names on the two people's tables are simple direct translations, without any fancy moves.

Handsome men and beautiful women walked into the classroom one after another. Those who didn't know would think it was a celebrity gathering. Dragon blood can bring a healthy body and a good appearance to people. It can be said that there are basically no ugly mixed-bloods. But people like Zhang Baiqing, Xia Mi, and the little devil Lu Mingze who are close to perfect appearance are still rare.

The classroom was a little noisy at first, but as everyone arrived, Professor Manstein patted the desk and the classroom became quiet.

"Everyone, please be present. Let me announce the exam rules now. Cheating is strictly prohibited. Do not try to peek at other people's papers. Violators will be disqualified. Cameras are monitoring everything, as are radio waves. Countless geniuses have taken exams in this classroom. Every method you can think of has been tried by someone..."

"Before the exam officially begins, please take out your cell phone and place it on the corner of the table with your student ID."

Students' mobile phones come in all kinds of styles, including the still-glorious Nokia, the up-and-coming Apple, HTC, and Dopod, etc.

All the lights on the walls were on and the windows were closed with black curtain walls.

Finkel walked down slowly and handed out several blank A4 papers and sharpened pencils to each candidate.

Some candidates thought it was a draft paper. Before they could react, Manstein said slowly, "Don't doubt it. This is the test paper. Discussion is allowed during the test. As long as you don't copy others, I will be outside the door. You can ask any questions. Good luck to you."

After saying this, Professor Manstein and Finkel left the examination room.

Many students looked at the blank paper with expressions as if they had seen a ghost. There was not even a word on the blank paper, and they didn't even know the topic, so how could they plagiarize? The professor thought too highly of them!
When they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, music suddenly started playing on the classroom speakers!

This made the students even more dumbfounded.

But as the music played, a different scene began to appear in the classroom. Some candidates were crying and laughing, some were dancing and singing on the spot, and some suddenly jumped onto the table and danced with the air. In short, it was a chaotic scene.

Among all the candidates, there were three who were quite different: Chu Zihang, Zhang Baiqing, and Chen Motong, who attacked Zhang Baiqing with a gun during the "Free Day" event.

The bruises on her eyes had disappeared, and she was concentrating on painting while listening to the music.

Chu Zihang listened to the dragon characters mixed in the music and easily drew out the hieroglyphs, as if he was sure of victory as a cheater.

Zhang Baiqing couldn't hear and didn't know what to paint, so he used his qi and blood to block out the outside world, his mind wandering in the sky, while his pen scribbled randomly on the paper.
