Chapter 24: Student Song Shuhang, here’s your express delivery
9AM in the morning.
The pair sat on the train heading towards Jiangnan University. They had good luck, as they arrived at J City’s Black Elephant station at 8:45 while the train was due to leave at 9AM.
The journey back was peaceful.
When they arrived at Jiangnan University City, it was already noon.
“Would you like to go to my place to play?” Song Shuhang said politely. He realised upon asking her that having only known her for a few days that he wasn’t close enough to her to suggest that. Their relations.h.i.+p was similar to that of acquaintances, asking this of her was extremely rude of him.
“Thank you very much Senior, if I ever have time in the future I will definitely come find you. However, I must now rush home to complete the contract with this spirit ghost first. Furthermore, if I delay any further daddy might return, and that would be very bad.” Soft Feather kindly declined with a sweet smile and a slight bow.
Song Shuhang laughed heartily. “Then this is where we part. You can take a taxi directly to Jiangnan Airport once you exit the train station. Will you be alright by yourself?”
“There’ll be no problem, I have already booked the ticket for my return flight as well. I just need to get to the airport and then I will be able to get home. By the way Senior, what is your address? I still need to send you those two boxes of herbs!” Soft Feather suddenly remembered the promise she had made before their trip.
She is a proper lady that keeps her word, if she promises to do something she would definitely do everything she could to fulfill it.
“Forget about it, let’s talk about that another time.” Grasping this so called ice pearl with a ‘ghost sealed’ within, Song Shuhang faintly felt that the medicinal ingredients that Soft Feather had mentioned earlier weren’t nearly as simple as he previously thought.
“Senior, please don’t think that I am one who goes back on their word. The word of a b.u.t.terfly Islander holds the weight of nine cauldrons!” Soft Feather seriously insisted.
“Okay then…” Song Shuang knew that he couldn’t refuse, so took out his notebook and wrote down his mailing address on it, then tore out the page and gave it to Soft Feather.
Soft Feather carefully stored this note, and then bade Shuhang farewell.
Song Shuhang watched her leave, then heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s finally over! I probably won’t have any interaction with this lady again, right?” Song Shuhang scratched his head and laughed to himself. “Time to go back!”
To the future Song Shuhang, you have to be grateful to Soft Feather’s insistence on this day!
If she hadn’t insisted on sending those two boxes of herbs, Song Shuhang would have stayed an ordinary person for his entire life. He would finish university, find an ordinary job, marry an ordinary wife and have cute kids. A simplistic, idyllic life would have been his future.
As a result of Soft Feather’s support today, Song Shuhang’s life would soon experience a transformation that would shake the heavens and rock the earth.

Nine Provinces (1) Group.
North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner: “Soft Feather, did you manage to find the Ghost Lamp Temple?”
Spiritual b.u.t.terfly Island’s Soft Feather (Online via Mobile): “I found it and managed to accomplish my task smoothly, and I’m now on my way home.”
“I had mistakenly went to the wrong place, and ended up in Jiangnan City’s Luo Xin Street. However, I was fortunate to meet a powerful senior from the group there, Senior Song, who helped me find the J City’s Luo Xin Street and the Ghost Lamp Temple. Then he helped me accomplish my mission as well!”
“The group’s Senior Song? What is that senior’s dao name?” The North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner asked. The surname Song was a very common surname, there were many seniors with the surname Song in the group.
“Ah!” Soft Feather sent a tongue stuck-out expression. “I asked him for his dao name, but he didn’t tell me. I then forgot about it afterwards, but I do know that his name is Song Shuhang!”
“Song Shuhang, this name sounds familiar…” The North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner felt that he heard the name somewhere before but couldn’t remember where. “Haha, in any case, I should congratulate you on your smooth completion of the task.”
After all, he had agreed to help but in the end yet wasn’t much help at all. He felt guilty in this regard.
“Thank you North River Senior, you were very helpful too!” Soft Feather happily commented. “I am boarding the plane now, I’ll talk to you later!”
On the plane, Soft Feather switched off her phone and looked out the window.
The seniors in the chat group are truly very nice.
Especially Senior Song, he’s such an incredibly nice guy!
The s.h.i.+ning good friend card was firmly placed onto Song Shuhang’s head despite the great distance between them.

The next day.
June 4th, Tueday, relentless heat!
Jiangnan University City, the lecture theatre had fourteen large fans blowing frantically, yet all it blew was hot wind, making people turn even more muddle-headed.
The lecturer’s back had long been soaked with sweat, it was hot to the point that speech became a lot softer.
