Chapter 1429: Old Acquaintances

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Ling Xiao Academy was powerful, but those aristocratic families weren’t to be trifled with! If they really made an alliance, Ling Xiao Academy might not be their match!

At times like this, it was normal for people to be very careful. Only people like this lady who came from outside and didn’t have much background would still be in the dark and want to go to Ling Xiao Academy with all their hearts!

“I see…” Mu Hongyu nodded thoughtfully. It is no wonder I felt that the atmosphere here was weird after I came. So this had happened beforehand? However, this won’t affect my decision. 

“Thank you, Big Brother.” She smiled brightly and sincerely bowed to the other party. He reminded her kindly, so she had to thank him.

“But I have a friend who’s also in Ling Xiao Academy, so I have to go over and find her!”

“Hey, this kid—” On the opposite side, the big brother saw that she wasn’t convinced and wanted to try again. But meeting the lady’s bright smile, he couldn’t finish his remaining words.

Suddenly, he chuckled. “Heh. Miss, the friend you’re in such a hurry to find is a young man, right?”

Mu Hongyu wanted to say it wasn’t, but an idea popped up in her mind, and she recalled that Diwu Zhangze had mentioned that Liuyue used another ident.i.ty to go to Ling Xiao Academy. Hence, she nodded. “Yeap!”

The other party smiled in understanding and didn’t ask further. “Okay, hurry over then! If you’re any later, you won’t make it in time for the a.s.sessment, and you will have to wait for tomorrow!”

Mu Hongyu thanked him again and ran in the direction the person pointed.

…

The person on duty today was Elder Wen Xi. He was still sitting in his usual spot as he leaned against the chair and looked very bored.

During this period of time, not many people came for the a.s.sessment. He was here every day and basically didn’t have much to do, so he was very bored.

He glanced at the sky. “Hm, I can go back in another hour…”

He wasn’t very anxious about n.o.body coming for the a.s.sessment.

In actual fact, the entire Ling Xiao Academy didn’t take this incident to heart.

Being able to be established in the G.o.d Residence Realm for so many years and not fall after weathering so many ordeals, Ling Xiao Academy naturally had its own strengths and foundation. They wouldn’t be affected in such a short amount of time.

At this point, a young woman walked over. “h.e.l.lo, Senior. May I know if this is where Ling Xiao Academy’s a.s.sessment is held?”

Her voice was crisp, and it lightened one’s mood instantly.

Elder Wen Xi looked up. It was a lively and charming young woman bubbling with energy.

Elder Wen Xi looked left and right and couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes. Do you want to enroll into Ling Xiao Academy?”

Mu Hongyu nodded forcefully.

Elder Wen Xi’s gaze was fiery, and he could tell at one glance that Mu Hongyu was definitely not from a top-tier aristocratic family—not even a third-tier one. However, she was magnanimous, well-mannered, and cultured. She wasn’t much different from the descendants of those aristocratic families.

A young lady coming here alone proved that she had guts.

Elder Wen Xi had a good impression of her and straightened his body. “What do you want to be a.s.sessed on?”

Mu Hongyu said, “Warrior!”

Her physique was special. To be more specific, it didn’t belong to any of the three cultivation aspects—heavenly doctor, warrior, or Xuan Master. But if she had to choose one, she would be considered a warrior.

After all, she was indeed a stage-nine warrior now.

Elder Wen Xi nodded. “Okay! You don’t look too old. As long as you’re at least a stage-nine warrior, you can be admitted.”

Mu Hongyu walked over and placed her hand on the black jade. Before she moved, she suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help but raise her head to ask, “Elder, do you know Chu Yue?”
