Chapter 1669: Chapter 1649: The Backdoor Admission
"Is this called the Heaven-Slashing Sword? Is it really that powerful? But it feels about the same weight as my hammer!" He Wenyu immediately liked the sword as it was quite cool.
"Don’t worry, it’s covered for repairs here." Bai Yinshu sneered, "The name is certainly much more impressive than the one I had back then."
"Shiqi’s sword looks so dark..."
"Uh-huh, its name is... Thousand Miles of Ice Seal, Ten Thousand Miles of Snow Drift Sword," Luo Qianqian chuckled.
"Does a longer name make it more powerful?" Luo Qianqian wondered out loud as she glanced at the other three.
"I even recite, ’Beyond the Great Wall, only vast wilderness remains, the mighty river suddenly loses its turbulent roar’..." He Wenyu quickly followed with another line.
After that, he laughed as he looked at Luo Qianqian, and they exchanged a knowing smile.
On the other hand, Mo looked at Luo Qianqian with a puzzled expression. Although it was undeniable that the weapons came from inside, did this sword really exist? He had never heard of it.
"Alright, here you go." Bai Yinshu sighed, producing a red robe and a badge and handing them to He Wenyu: "Your ’back door exam’ has been passed, and you’ve become a member of the academy. Time to recognize it with a blood drop."
Luo Qianqian was dumbfounded on the side: "???"
Then she turned to Mo and Yan: "What about me? Don’t I get one?"
"You didn’t go through the back door," Mo said matter-of-factly, then looked at He Wenyu with envy: "I didn’t expect this year’s to be red. I feel like this vibrant red suits my style better."
He Wenyu glanced at Luo Qianqian, feeling a bit awkward, unsure whether to take the robe, just staring at Luo Qianqian.
"Come on, take it. Just watch me flaunting around, if that makes you feel better." Luo Qianqian forced a smile but still had a face full of envy: "Why don’t I have a teacher like that?"
"..." He Wenyu didn’t want to speak, obviously still green with envy.
Yet under Luo Qianqian’s encouraging gaze, he donned the cloak and felt the connection with the badge after dropping two drops of blood, elegantly fastening the exquisite badge, looking even better in the red outfit.
This badge felt more complex than she imagined...
"Pretty!" Luo Qianqian looked a bit dazed, impressed, and patted He Wenyu: "You should change into a different outfit inside..."
"Don’t mention those Qi pao from our time..." He Wenyu responded with immediate resistance.
"Not those, change into something white. You’re all in red, are you getting married? Should I prepare your wedding gift?" Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes.
"Why does this seem strange?" He Wenyu frowned: "Usually parents prepare it... Are you taking advantage of me?"
"Uh..." Luo Qianqian’s eyes flickered, looking at Mo: "Where are we heading next?"
"Hey, were you just changing the topic, right? That was a topic change, wasn’t it?" He Wenyu widened his eyes, grabbing Luo Qianqian’s arm: "You’re taking advantage of me!"
"I’m a girl, anyway... It’s not too big of a deal if I take advantage of you, right?" Luo Qianqian touched her nose, looking elsewhere.
He Wenyu: "..." Why did it seem like something was off here?
Bai Yinshu watched the ongoing banter and couldn’t help but find it amusing that these two were fun together. No wonder the teacher broke the rules to bring He Wenyu back.
He understood; the teacher must have been amazed by He Wenyu’s cooking skills, leading to this whole ’back door incident,’ right?
"Let’s go, it won’t be peaceful ahead, especially for..." Mo looked at Luo Qianqian with a significant gaze: "Especially for you."
Luo Qianqian, looking at their cloaks and the badge, seemed to understand something; it must serve as some sort of protection or support for them, adding to her feeling of unease.
However, glancing at He Wenyu who seemed relaxed, Luo Qianqian felt a tad more confident; it’d be better her facing challenges than He Wenyu.
At least she wouldn’t worry her godparents.
With confidence sparkling in her eyes, she slightly curled her lips, looking at Mo: "It doesn’t matter; I’m quite confident. I don’t think I’m any lesser than you guys."
"Oh really... Well, let’s see," Mo’s lips twitched with a hint of meaning.
Luo Qianqian wasn’t familiar with this place, but that didn’t mean others were clueless.
Their badges served as protection, but also a trial before graduation.
The badges were tiered, reflecting the academy’s graduation demands, and until those are met, graduation would be unattainable.
Though they were siblings, differences between them existed.
He Wenyu’s badge was chosen after much consideration by the teacher, opting for a simple tier but not the lowest.
However, it was uncertain for Luo Qianqian...
Should she become one of the final seven, perhaps...
Mo lightly shook his head, eagerly watching Luo Qianqian as he hoped to see her create miracles.
"Actually, you entered via the back door too," Yan calmly remarked to Luo Qianqian: "The difference is, you two escorted directly to the final gate, but still need to traverse the path yourself."
The thought of traversing this path made one wonder if there’s something odd about it.
The unease lingered.
But she still smiled, grabbing He Wenyu’s arm: "Haha, isn’t this cause for celebration? Won’t you treat me to something tasty?"
"...Were you a reincarnated pig?"
"Are you implying a Snow Beast? If it’s such an adorable creature, that’s fine by me," Luo Qianqian said seriously.
"Wear this, and I’ll personally cook for you," Mo suddenly interjected.
Luo Qianqian, full of doubt: "Your cooking... Is it really edible? Won’t it be poisonous?"
Mo: "..." He didn’t want to cook anymore, feeling this person was ungrateful, upset.
Yan chuckled, seemingly in good spirits though slight shadows lingered beneath her eyes unnoticed.
"His cooking is not bad, though it’s incomparable to Shiliu, but still has its own charm." With sincerity, kudos to Mo’s skills.
Luo Qianqian looked bewildered at Mo: "For real..."
Mo clenched his fist: "Fake! I was joking, not cooking anymore, farewell!"
"Hey hey, don’t be angry, don’t be so petty..." Luo Qianqian quickly said, approaching.
Mo: "..." Women and petty people are indeed hard to deal with!
