Chapter 1374: Chapter 1374
"You’re not seriously planning to keep shopping for days, are you?"
Tang Ming looked uncertainly at Chen Cang and the others.
Liu Mengting shook her head assertively and said expectantly, "Let’s rest early today, and tomorrow morning we should visit Imperial University, and if possible, spend the whole day there to fully experience university life."
"Sounds good, should we bring our luggage then?"
Li Xiaoli asked excitedly.
Tang Ming’s mouth twitched, quickly refuting, "Don’t actually think you’re university students. You don’t even have a place to stay on campus. Just roaming around during the day is enough."
"Tang Ming is right, we’re just visiting."
Liu Mengting nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then I’m bringing a couple of outfits, I have to look fabulous."
Li Xiaoli tilted her head and muttered confidently.
The night passed without a word, and early the next morning, Tang Ming had Zhou Xiong send a car to take the group to the legendary Imperial University.
As soon as they got out of the car, Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting were overwhelmed by the majestic entrance of Imperial University, exclaiming and asking Chen Cang to take photos.
"Crazy? When you really get into Imperial University, will you still be this excited?"
Tang Ming squatted nearby, speechlessly expressing disdain.
"Heh, probably won’t feel by then."
Zhou Dafu, standing beside Tang Ming, laughed in response.
"Why don’t you seem excited?"
Tang Ming looked at Zhou Dafu in surprise.
"I’m not planning to apply to Imperial University, so naturally I’m not excited."
Zhou Dafu grinned, stating calmly, "I’m planning to stay in Songlan City for university."
"Huh? Not coming to Imperial City with me?"
Tang Ming looked at Zhou Dafu in astonishment.
"The stage of Imperial City is too big; it doesn’t suit me."
Zhou Dafu shook his head and said helplessly, "Moreover, the Zhou Family is relying on me right now; I can’t leave. Also, Ming Bro is destined for great things, can’t always stay in Songlan, so someone needs to hold the fort there, right?"
"Whatever, Songlan City is insignificant, doesn’t matter if we leave it."
Tang Ming frowned slightly, speaking indifferently.
"Though we say that, Songlan is where our fate began, carrying too much weight."
Zhou Dafu patted his belly, looking at Tang Ming sincerely, "I’m not a Martial Artist, destined not to always be by Ming Bro’s side, can’t keep up with your pace, but I can surely maintain the foundation of Songlan City, making it everyone’s strongest base."
Tang Ming stared at Zhou Dafu in amazement, "You’ve matured!"
"Heh heh, it’s all thanks to Ming Bro’s guidance."
Zhou Dafu chuckled naively, "They’re going inside, let’s join them."
Tang Ming nodded, greatly appreciating Zhou Dafu’s transformation and perspective.
He would inevitably leave Songlan City, taking his forces with him, which could leave Songlan vulnerable. Without a trusted person in charge, it wouldn’t be long before Songlan City might change dramatically, and returning might not be easy.
Zhou Dafu’s ability to clearly recognize his own role is already impressive. As long as Zhou Dafu stays in Songlan City, he represents Tang Ming, and no one would dare meddle in Songlan City’s territory.
Otherwise, even disciples from Flowing Cloud Sect and Poison Sect staying in Songlan City might cause trouble unrestricted, even abusing Tang Ming’s name to do as they please.
With Zhou Dafu volunteering to stay, Songlan City will never change hands.
"Tang Ming Brother, come quickly, let’s take a photo together."
Li Xiaoli shouted eagerly from up ahead.
Tang Ming wrapped his arm around Zhou Dafu’s shoulder and chased after Liu Mengting and the others.
Thinking carefully, ever since starting out, Zhou Dafu is the only male Tang Ming could wrap his arm around. Even Lin Canghai never got this treatment, showing Tang Ming truly regarded Zhou Dafu as a brother.
The group strolled enthusiastically around the campus, admiring inscriptions by famous people, historical buildings...
Imperial University was very large; it’s open like a tourist attraction, so even after over two hours, Tang Ming and the others hadn’t finished walking through the university.
"Oh man, I’m exhausted, my feet are killing me."
By noon, Li Xiaoli flopped onto a park bench, lamenting as if about to die.
"Is it really that bad? We haven’t even gone to the science building or the history museum yet, get up."
Liu Mengting frowned at the map, reminding Li Xiaoli helplessly.
"No more walking, not going further even if it kills me."
Li Xiaoli shook her head firmly, looking pitifully at Liu Mengting, "I’m hungry."
"Where can we eat around here?"
Liu Mengting suddenly felt conflicted, turning to see Tang Ming and Zhou Dafu sauntering in the back.
"How about we try the cafeteria?"
Chen Cang plopped down next to Li Xiaoli, "Let’s first taste the cafeteria’s food to decide whether to live on campus in the future?"
"In college, can you choose not to live on campus?"
Li Xiaoli looked at Chen Cang in surprise.
"There are no houses here; not living on campus would be inconvenient, right?"
Liu Mengting frowned uncertainly.
"Haha, you underestimate Ming Bro. If you don’t want to stay on campus, I assure he can find a house for you, and a very luxurious one at that."
Chen Cang laughed aloud, though the housing prices in Imperial City are crazy, Tang Ming’s current energy surely allows him to get a very luxurious house near the school.
"That really needs consideration."
Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, "I suggest we not live on campus, have Ming Bro find a house, let’s continue renting together, otherwise, if boys and girls’ dorms separate, we’d also have to split up."
"We absolutely cannot split up. Tang Ming Brother is so outstanding; if we do, many girls will surely fancy him."
Chen Cang hurriedly supported Li Xiaoli.
"Housing prices in Imperial City are steep; places near the school are even pricier, over a hundred thousand per square. Getting a house wouldn’t be easy, right?"
Liu Mengting frowned worriedly, never considering renting a house. Renting from others always carries a worry of being evicted anytime, making her uncomfortable.
"That would depend on Ming Bro’s capability."
All three looked at Tang Ming.
"Why are you all looking at me?"
Tang Ming came closer, immediately on alert.
"Hehe, Tang Ming Brother, I’m hungry."
Li Xiaoli giggled, looking at Tang Ming.
Tang Ming sneered, pointing ahead, "I already asked, that building up ahead is the cafeteria."
"Hehe, no matter where Ming Bro is, the first thing he thinks about is eating."
Zhou Dafu laughed oddly; earlier, he and Tang Ming had specifically asked about the locations of the school’s cafeterias, eagerly anticipating a meal.
