It was probably seeing Lin Ye's expression of helplessness that An Zhiyuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry about this matter, I guarantee I'll take care of it for you. As an honorary alumnus, getting a spot as an Alliance top-notch outstanding student is quite reasonable."

Even Lin Ye himself hadn't thought of this maneuver.

"No need, let this opportunity go to someone else. This kind of honor is of no use to me," Lin Ye shrugged, speaking quite honestly.

Such words are probably something only Lin Ye could say.

Anyone else his age would never say it because this honor is arguably the highest one can get during their student years.

And if one wants to earn a higher honor, they'd have to step outside the campus system.

As a student, wanting to leave the campus environment to achieve a higher honor is still quite difficult because that means competing with some successful and renowned figures.

Unless you are an exceptional talent, it's almost impossible.

Ordinarily, even for a genius like Zong Muxue, with an SSS-Class Talent and a rare profession, it's impossible to cross levels and compete with advanced Professionals.

Of course, nothing is absolute...

For example, Lin Ye, who just said he doesn't need such honors, is an exception.

Upon hearing this, An Zhiyuan nodded in agreement and said, "You're absolutely right; I was being presumptuous."

The earlier suggestion to apply for the top-notch outstanding student award for Lin Ye was just a momentary impulse from him.

After all, nearing retirement, Lin Ye had brought him great achievements, so it's understandable for an old man who cares about face to be so excited.

Now, calming down, An Zhiyuan realized that he hadn't thought things through clearly.

Firstly, putting aside whether Lin Ye actually wanted this honor, from a pros and cons standpoint, this honor seemed to have more cons for Lin Ye.

Because Lin Ye, in terms of identity, doesn't meet the criteria since he isn't a student nor even a member of the Alliance.

Although it's clear to everyone that Lin Ye has deep ties with the Alliance, essentially, Lin Ye's journey has had the shadow of the Alliance backing him.

Even during the three years Lin Ye was lost in the Alternate Space, the Strongest from the Alliance personally stepped forward and went to the City of Light to ensure Lin Ye's safety.

But Lin Ye's only identity within the Alliance is merely an honorary corps commander.

No actual position to speak of.

Thinking about it, Lin Ye doesn't seem to value honors that much.

And An Zhiyuan was just projecting his own desires onto Lin Ye, assuming Lin Ye also cared about appearances.

But he wasn't truly foolish; upon Lin Ye's refusal, he promptly realized and nodded repeatedly.

With Lin Ye's prestige, such an honor as an outstanding student hardly means anything to him.

It could even lead to criticism.

After all, it's widely known that Lin Ye isn't a student, so if he suddenly received an outstanding student honor, wouldn't that be stirring up trouble?

The negative impact could be even greater.

In short, Lin Ye doesn't lack this honor, and for him, the benefits it brings don't even cover the negative impact.

So there's simply no need, it was just An Zhiyuan getting ahead of himself.

"Principal An, I should get going now, so I won't disturb you any further," Lin Ye stood up and said politely.

Aside from being somewhat overambitious, An Zhiyuan didn't have any other flaws and indeed nurtured a lot of talents, making significant contributions.

Lin Ye still held great respect for such an elder.

An Zhiyuan didn't try to keep Lin Ye, simply said, "You should take a rest, but I hope you'll find some time to help with the skill scroll issues in the future. Whatever assistance you need, feel free to ask, and you can be bold with the pricing!"

What he referred to as skill scrolls were the 'Twin' skills Lin Ye acquired after conquering the Secret Realm.

This skill is currently the only means to conquer the 'Twin' Secret Realm.

As more people start conquering this Secret Realm, there will surely be one or two lucky ones who manage to acquire this skill.

One multiplies to two, two to three, three to myriad things...

In the future, the 'Twin' Secret Realm will undoubtedly become a realm anyone can conquer.

Moreover, in terms of experience value output per unit time, the 'Twin' Secret Realm is evidently much higher than other realms of the same level.

So it's safe to say that Lin Ye, this time, indeed made a tremendous contribution, bringing invaluable progress to Shangjing University, otherwise, An Zhiyuan wouldn't be so grateful to him.

But Lin Ye just waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, at least for the next two days, I'll have time, and I'll definitely get the scrolls sorted out in these days."

"As for the price, you can just pay according to the scrolls of skills of the same level."

As for the pricing, Lin Ye didn't mind at all.

After all, even at market price, Lin Ye would still earn quite a bit, so there's really no need to demand an exorbitant price.

Moreover, Lin Ye doesn't lack money right now, so there's no reason to ask for excessively high compensation for such matters.

"Alright, no problem, then I'll trouble you, Lin Xiaoyou!" An Zhiyuan nodded.

After that, Lin Ye and Li Fei were respectfully escorted out of the office building by a group of people.

By then, the sky had already started to darken slightly.

An Ying, being considerate, didn't continue following the two, acting like a third wheel. Instead, she whispered something in Li Fei's ear, which earned her a fierce glare from the thoroughly blushing Li Fei.

Lin Ye maintained his calm demeanor...

However, given his Demon Monarch Level strength, An Ying thought her whisper was only heard by Li Fei, but in reality, every word reached Lin Ye's ears.

Walking on campus with Li Fei, neither of them was wearing a mask.

In the dim environment, you couldn't make out their appearances unless you looked closely.

"Where are we going now?" Li Fei asked.

"Want to return to Shan City together? You haven't been to my manor, have you?" Lin Ye looked at Li Fei and said.

"Go… go to your place?" Li Fei's face turned slightly red.

"Otherwise, didn't your roommate say they would lock the dorm door tonight to prevent you from returning?" Lin Ye said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Fei's face turned unbelievably red.

"How… how do we go back? It's too late to line up at the teleportation array now…" Li Fei said softly.

Lin Ye gave a faint smile.

Going back?

Isn't that simple?
