"Advance payment"
"Overhead Settings"
The mixed-race child grew up in LA and received an email notifying him of admission to Columbia University on the day he became an adult. Offer opens and the electronic ribbon falls down to fill the screen, and then several large Chinese characters are revealed:
China Cangqi Monastic College welcomes you!
Qiao Yihao blinked his green eyes, closed the computer, and opened it again.
Another pupil earthquake - what about an offer as big as mine? !
The little foreigner who couldn't read or write Chinese turned to his mother:
"Mom, I can't understand, what is written here?"
Ms. Qiao turned around and started packing her things:
"Pack your bags, son, mom will take you back to your hometown tomorrow."

The Sunan Qiao family's monastic lineage has existed for thousands of years, but the inheritance has been discontinued. I thought it would be completely cut off in this generation, but Qiao Yihao, who grew up abroad, unexpectedly awakened. The clan elders held the young man's hand and burst into tears, begging him to practice Taoism well and carry forward the family inheritance.
Qiao Yihao didn't understand what he heard and expressed fear: "Can you become a Taoist priest even if you don't understand Chinese?"
The door of Cangqi College opens——
Brother Snake Spirit, who has not yet formed a human form, rushed to the early morning with a textbook in his mouth: "What does it mean if you don't understand Chinese? It's already good if you don't learn human language."
Senior Yanbi, who was making elixirs in a pressure cooker, shoveled the residue at the bottom of the pot and said, "What's the use of knowing Chinese? I can't even understand the textbooks."
The college teacher in a monk's robe wears VR glasses to catch ghosts and draws electronic talismans: "Don't worry, the exams are all practical exercises. Just paint a few more haunted houses, no problem."
Three rows of big characters on the teaching floor: Become a Taoist priest in the new era! Create science and cultivate immortality! Build an international college!
The cheerful bald dean gave him a memory-reading pen: "Classmate Qiao, you're doing a good job!"
Qiao Yihao was confused and panicked: ... Th... Thank you?

The Chinese version of Hogwarts is really hard to get around. Not only do you have to read classical Chinese in class, you also have to save people, punish evil spirits and kill ghosts. Human blood sacrifices, artifacts missing, and undercurrents surging in the world of cultivation hidden in the city.
When everything was settled, Qiao Yihao happily took the lost family heirloom:
"Brother, how do you want me to thank you?"
Someone calmly took a sip of tea:
"It's nothing, just fulfill the engagement with me."
The boy who missed the point - "Aren't you homophobic?"
Someone's back molars crushed tea leaves: "..."
I worked hard to catch this stupid fish, seduced him for half my life, and when I came back, I was treated as a homophobe.
... My wife is so slow, American education is really not good.

It is said that a new fortune-telling stall opened on Tonghu Street is very good. On the left side of the stall is a mobile phone international live broadcast, and on the right side is a tablet AI real-time translation. The stall owner wore a Taoist hat, and his round sunglasses occasionally slipped down, revealing a pair of green eyes.
"Can a foreigner also tell fortunes?"
The young man grinned and said, "You can earn credits through social practice. Brother, do you want to give me some advice?"
He is a passionate puppy who is not good at speaking Chinese but has a bright and cheerful attitude. He is also a straight-ball, black-haired, green-eyed mixed-race subject with a high IQ.
