Chapter 547: 219 has returned to her rightful place_4

Mrs. Xu wasn’t surprised at all; as a native of Xiangcheng, Bai Lian’s excitement about getting into Jiangjing University was expected.

It was almost eight o’clock.

Jiangjing University was busy with people, and at this time, many students taking the national exam were checking in at the entrance. Xu Wenyao was waiting by the campus gates and waved at Bai Lian and her companions from afar as soon as he spotted them.

“Alian, little sister,” Xu Wenyao felt a sense of unrealness upon seeing Bai Lian; he had just learned that Bai Lian was the national top scorer of the year, “Let me first take you to the Statues of the Notables.”

Being an insider, he could bring family members in as long as they registered.

Walking down the main thoroughfare, they saw the statues in Jiangjing University’s square lined up in two rows, dozens in total.

From a hundred meters away, Bai Lian could see the bronze statue at the very front.

As twilight blurred the edges of the day, one could see that the bronze figure was well maintained; one hand held a book while the other was placed behind his back. He appeared to be reading intently, his garment caught in a fold by the breeze.

With the aura of an ascetic sage, it seemed as if he might turn into an immortal at any second.

This was Liang Zewen.

Seeing these statues, even Mrs. Xu put her palms together solemnly, her gaze devout and admiring.

As the end of term drew near, many students came here to carefully pay homage to these statues and to the giant rock behind them.

“These are statues of notable figures, you must know them,” said Xu Wenyao, after his own observance, highlighting one statue in particular to Bai Lian, “This is our senior sister.”

Mrs. Xu, looking at the first statue, had an unstoppable fervor and envy in her eyes, “The Liangs… how proud they must be to see this statue.”

Next to her, Ji Mulan was also staring in stunned silence at everything.

The area was teeming with the most elite students from across the country. This place was sacred, and everyone passing by would pay homage involuntarily, reminiscent of the era when the senior sister and her peers were in their prime and the era when the emperor’s advisor strategized behind the scenes.

Her gaze shifted, landing on the giant stone behind the statues, which was illuminated by light.

Ji Mulan saw that the stone was engraved with many names, neither biographies nor introductions, and she asked subconsciously, “What is this?”

Mrs. Xu looked over and said softly, “This is the gathering place of Jiangjing University’s elite.”

“Yes, it’s also the dream of everyone who has been admitted to Jiangjing University,” Xu Wenyao walked over, pointing to one of the names, his expression becoming emotional, “The last name added was that of Senior He Wen. Although he was from Xicheng, he was the only one who made the list in recent years. If one makes a significant enough contribution, they could even have a new bronze statue erected at the back, but that’s even tougher.”

He spoke with utmost seriousness, clearly holding great respect for He Wen.

Ji Mulan looked at the names etched in the stone, barely concealing her shock. It was her first time being so close to these people.

“It’s exceedingly difficult to stand out among the world’s top geniuses, not to mention having your own statue,” Mrs. Xu sighed as she looked at the names, “Just getting your name on this stone, our family hasn’t produced more than three in the last century.”

“I think Alian has a good chance,” Xu Wenyao, hearing this, turned to look at Bai Lian beside him, “Alian emerged from the mist of Xiangcheng as the top scorer and made it to Jiangjing University. I think…”

Xu Wenyao paused for quite some time as he spoke.

In the past few days, Bai Lian had already left an impression of a formidable presence in the hearts of her fellow Jiangjing high school seniors.

He believed that after she graduated, she could, like Senior He Wen, have her name inscribed on this stone. Jiangjing seemed to be on the cusp of becoming even livelier.

Mrs. Xu also turned to look at Bai Lian, clenching her Buddha beads a little tighter, evidently realizing this possibility too.

Bai Lian’s phone vibrated; it was Xu Nanjing asking where she was. She replied carelessly with her location.

Listening to Xu Wenyao’s words, she didn’t respond; her gaze fell on the statue next to Liang Zewen that Xu Wenyao had specifically pointed out, and she looked up slightly.

The statue depicted a profile view of someone holding a long spear, mysterious and dangerous.

The lights cast a cool glow upon the statue.

Break through the fog?

It wasn’t about breaking through the fog; she was merely returning to her rightful place.

The once dashing senior sister of Jiangjing University was finally back.
