"You brat, your parents have been waiting day and night, just looking forward to the university admission notice, and you, heartless as you are, have even forgotten about it. Call immediately to check!" Xu Suya scolded Ge Dongxu fiercely upon hearing the news.
"Yes, yes, I’ll call to inquire right now." Ge Dongxu didn’t dare talk back when scolded by his mom and hurriedly agreed.
"Call now, and call me back as soon as you get the results." Xu Suya softened her tone when she saw her son’s cooperative attitude.
"Alright, alright, I’ll call now." Ge Dongxu agreed repeatedly and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Ge Dongxu thought about calling to inquire but realized he had even forgotten his examination registration number and became anxious.

He had no reason to worry about his college entrance exam scores; he was utterly confident. Not just Jiangnan University, even Yanjing or Huaqing University wouldn’t be a problem.
Of course, could someone with his identity not get into Jiangnan University even if there were a mistake?
So after the college entrance exam was over, Ge Dongxu simply cast the matter out of his mind.
Like ordinary people, those who cultivate have a similar trait: if the brain doesn’t think about something, the memory of it gradually fades, especially for pure data like examination registration numbers. If it’s not recalled over time, even someone with a memory as excellent as Ge Dongxu, a cultivator, can’t remember it.
Of course, Ge Dongxu didn’t need to inquire; he could have just told his mother he was admitted because there couldn’t be a mistake in that regard, but it still felt like a deception, like he was brushing off his mother.
Having no choice, Ge Dongxu called his mother back and asked her to help look up the examination registration slip.
Xu Suya, seeing her son call back, thought he had news, but it turned out he was asking her to look for the examination slip, which of course led to another round of nagging.
Once he got the examination registration number, Ge Dongxu made a point to call Cheng Le Hao to get the inquiry phone number, then he called to check.
Ge Dongxu had applied for Environmental Chemistry at the College of Environmental and Resource Sciences at Jiangnan University.
Environmental Chemistry, as the name implies, studies the relationship between the environment and chemistry. What Ge Dongxu wanted to explore was the relationship between chemistry, nature, and the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, in the hope of gaining inspiration.
So, in a way, this major exactly met Ge Dongxu’s requirements, which is why he chose it.
The results of the telephone inquiry were precisely as Ge Dongxu expected: he was admitted to the College of Environmental and Resource Sciences at Jiangnan University.
After receiving the results, Ge Dongxu immediately called his mother back and shared the good news with her.
"Jiangnan University, good, good, good!" Xu Suya was so excited she said "good" several times upon hearing the news.
"Now you and dad can rest assured, right?" Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"Assured, very assured," Xu Suya replied happily.
"Then, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up." Ge Dongxu said, his mind still on the matter of Drawing Talismans in the Void. Moreover, he was drenched in sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
"What do you mean to hang up, when are you coming home?" Xu Suya was in a good mood, but the moment her son mentioned hanging up, she immediately responded with annoyance.
"Coming home? Is there something urgent? If not, I can come a few days later," Ge Dongxu said.
"Nonsense, you got into Jiangnan University, so shouldn’t you visit your teacher’s house to express your gratitude? Also, the village is planning a dinner celebration, inviting relatives and friends. These past few days, many people in the village have been asking about you. Your grandfather and uncles have called several times to inquire about your exam results. Now that we know the outcome, of course, we should have a celebration feast; otherwise, people might think our family is stingy! Our son got into Jiangnan University, and we’re not even going to treat people to a meal," Xu Suya said.
Ge Dongxu wholeheartedly agreed with visiting his teacher’s house to give thanks. But the idea of holding a banquet in the village to celebrate his university acceptance, inviting villagers, relatives, and friends, left Ge Dongxu dumbfounded.
After all, he was now a billionaire, a deputy ministerial-level official, a sect leader, and now that he got into university, the thought of having to throw a celebration banquet made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Mom, it’s just getting into university, right? Do we have to make such a big deal out of it?" Ge Dongxu said cautiously.
"What do you mean it’s not a big deal? You are the first student in our village to get into a key university, and it’s Jiangnan University no less. How could we not make a big deal out of it?" Xu Suya said.
"Isn’t that a bit much? People will think we’re showing off!" Ge Dongxu said again, cautiously trying to dissuade his mother from the idea.

Truly, his covert identity was something remarkable, unknown to others, but he was well aware of it himself.
"So what if we’re showing off? Was it easy for your parents to raise you all these years? Isn’t it all for this glorious day? I’m telling you, I might give in to you on other things, but we must have this banquet! I’ll send out the invites in the next couple of days. If you don’t have any urgent matters, you should come back home within these two days," Xu Suya said decisively.
"Okay, then, I’ll come back home in the next couple of days," Ge Dongxu said. As a filial son, with his parents having this wish, what else could he say? He could only agree.
"That’s more like it. I’m going to hang up now; I still need to share the good news with your grandparents," Xu Suya said cheerfully as she prepared to end the call, knowing Ge Dongxu had agreed to return soon.
After hanging up his mother’s call, thinking of her likely sharing the good news with a smiling face, Ge Dongxu, despite still feeling a bit awkward, couldn’t help but feel inexplicably happy.
If his parents were happy, why wouldn’t their child be happy too?
Because he knew his parents were eagerly awaiting his return to bring pride to the family, Ge Dongxu lost interest in continuing his research on Drawing Talismans in the Void, as it wasn’t urgent.
He put away the Jade Token and went downstairs.
"Senior brother, keep these safe. Focus on cultivating for now, and let me know if you run out—I need to go back home for a bit." After descending the stairs, Ge Dongxu handed the completed Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jades to Yang Yinhou and said.
Seeing Ge Dongxu give them a pile of Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jades, Yang Yinhou and Ouyang Murong were stunned, and it took them a while to come to their senses, watching Ge Dongxu looking as if he had just been fished out of a river, they couldn’t help but be moved again, thinking Ge Dongxu was exhausted from engraving so many talisman jades for them.
"Dongxu, this is too much, keep some for yourself," Yang Yinhou patted Ge Dongxu’s hand and uttered after a long time, his lips trembling.
"No problem, I can engrave more, it’s just a waste of some Jadeite. With your current Realm, you can place seven Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jades simultaneously. You’ve already wasted a lot of time, so don’t economize when cultivating now," Ge Dongxu said.
ps: That’s three updates for today, thank you.
