Chapter 326: 125 bursts, enough to be recorded in history (second update)_2
“Uncle,” Xu En must have been busy, but as soon as he saw Ji Heng’s face, he quickly greeted him, “You guys should come over earlier, Mu Lan and I will show you around Jiangjing, Jiangjing University, museums, and the like…”
He discussed with Ji Heng.
Ji Heng, holding his smoking pipe, thought for a moment and did not refuse, “Alright.”
Xu En had planned on asking anyway, but he had not anticipated Ji Heng’s agreement. Up until now, he still wasn’t sure if Ji Heng would attend his wedding to Ji Mulan; he couldn’t figure out anyone in that family, from top to bottom.
To his surprise, Ji Heng actually agreed.
Xu En was overjoyed, “Then get ready, I’ll book the plane tickets and arrange the schedule…”

Bai Lian hadn’t expected the special training camp to be in Jiangjing as well.
Tang Ming and Ning Xiao both went back with Jiang Fulai.
But Bai Lian turned down Jiang Fulai; she chose to take the plane with Ji Heng, Ji Shaojun, and Shen Qing instead. When Young Master Jiang heard this, he was also quite explosive.
“This airport, it’s so big…” This was the first time Shen Qing took a flight, and Xu En had bought them first-class tickets.
After getting off the plane, stepping on the ground in Jiangjing, Shen Qing felt a sense of unreality.
Very dreamlike.
However, Ji Heng looked calm, and Ji Shaojun was also composed. He frequently took students out for art exams.
“Uncle Ji, you’ve arrived.” Xu En had been waiting at the boarding gate early. Seeing Bai Lian, his eyes lit up even more, “Alian, are you joining them?”
“Not this time.” Bai Lian took out her phone, powered it on, and waited for the signal.
Jiang Fulai took a private plane and had arrived much earlier.
Jiang Teacher: [Where are you? I’ll come find you.]
“Are you accustomed to the flight journey?” Xu En sounded a bit disappointed, but still led the way while asking.
Ji Heng, holding his smoking pipe, nodded his head.
Shen Qing felt quite uneasy, “It’s my first time flying, I’m not used to it.”
Bai Lian was frank, “The seat was a bit cramped.”
She herself was okay, but Ji Heng, who sat in the same row, was elder, and sitting for embroidery everyday was already hard on the spine; at home, it was possible to stand up and move around, not so much on a plane.
“Ah?” Xu En was surprised, he turned to the butler. Was it possible that they did not purchase first-class?
Xu En’s butler, following behind him, cast a fleeting glance at Shen Qing before turning to Bai Lian with a smile: “Miss, you might not understand, airplane seats are inherently small, and you were already in first-class.”
His tone was mild, without any intent of mockery.
Just stating the facts.
“Alian, it’s just how planes are,” Xu En thought for a moment and then explained to Bai Lian, “When you go back, I’ll switch airlines.”
Miss Bai, who had been on Young Master Jiang’s private plane, indeed didn’t know that a normal plane seat is considered spacious.
“No need,” she replied lazily, staying put, “you go ahead, I’ll wait for my classmate.”
Ji Heng and the others knew Bai Lian was going to the special training camp with Ning Xiao and the rest.
So they went ahead with Xu En first.
“Alright then,” Xu En said with regret.
The butler beside him glanced at Bai Lian; he was indifferent to whatever she was going to do.
He didn’t even know why Xu En valued this Ji family member so much, putting aside his own affairs to personally receive them.

Jiangjing Airport.
In the VIP room, Bai Shaoqi was talking to Bai Qiming.
Bai Qiming’s attitude toward Bai Shaoqi was getting better by the day. Despite his busy schedule at the end of the year, he still took the time to send Bai Shaoqi to Jiangjing for orientation. “Why hasn’t Song Min arrived yet?”
Song Min was attending the special training camp, while Bai Shaoqi was temporarily not qualified.
“The joint exam results came out today; he probably boarded after checking them,” Bai Shaoqi was very familiar with Song Min.
Speaking of their results, Bai Qiming’s face showed even more pride: “How did the term-end exams go?”
In recent times, there’s been a lot of news about Ji Mulan in Beicheng, as she is about to marry into a wealthy Jiangjing family. It would be impossible for Bai Qiming not to feel a ripple in his heart over this.
Fortunately, he had a pair of good children.
Thinking of Bai Lian along with Bai Shaoqi and Bai Shaoke, any dissatisfaction in Bai Qiming faded away.
“Just as before,” Bai Shaoqi replied.
That means still within the top three. Bai Qiming was very reassured and then sighed with emotion, “It’s a pity to be in the same grade as Song Min.”
Otherwise, the Bai family might well have produced a second top scholar.
Siblings both so acclaimed, how rare that would be.
Bai Shaoqi took out her phone and opened the conversation with Song Min.
Bai Shaoqi: [Did you get your score?]
Song Min hadn’t replied yet.
Uncertain of the situation.
Bai Shaoqi casually looked up.
Suddenly, she spotted a familiar figure outside the door; she was taken aback.
“What’s wrong?” Bai Qiming noticed her expression.
Bai Shaoqi furrowed her brows; she felt that the silhouette looked a lot like Bai Lian.
