Chapter 1671: Chapter 1651: The Fox’s Fresh Start
But she got the rough idea that no one here is a good person, and Mo definitely knows information that he hasn’t disclosed. He has his reasons for keeping it to himself, and she understands that the weapon in her hand is the reason why these people are targeting her.
"Well, thanks for nothing, old man!" Luo Qianqian angrily glared at Mo, then swiftly climbed the wall and ran away. More and more people were gathering, and she couldn’t risk staying there!
Meanwhile, Mo leisurely bought a map jade slip from a shop nearby. He watched as several small dots continued moving on the map and chuckled to himself. As long as there was no badge, this small dot would keep appearing on the jade slip, making it impossible for Luo Qianqian to escape.
After all, compared to what’s coming next, there are still few people now, and they’re not familiar with the roads here.
Grinning at the jade slip, he walked over to the group of people waiting and looked at the scroll in Yan’s hand, saying, "How’s it going, any good weapons come out this time? Did Shiqi’s ’Thousand Miles of Ice Seal, Ten Thousand Miles of Snow Drift’ make it to the rankings?"
Yan’s face darkened as he shoved the scroll to Mo, looking perplexed. Even He Wenyu’s Heaven-Slashing is on the list, so how could Luo Qianqian’s weapon not be ranked?
And the weapon at the top of the list really caught his attention.
Kunlun Mirror.
Isn’t the Kunlun Mirror supposed to be in the hands of a notable figure? How did it suddenly come to be ranked?
Mo looked at the list that had been updated up to the last moment, his gaze landing on the third rank.
Thousand Mechanism Box?
Could it be that the Black Sword in Shiqi’s hands is actually this Thousand Mechanism Box?
"What are these points following the weapon names?" He Wenyu also approached, noticing the blank space after her name, indicating she was safe, right?
But for no apparent reason, a feeling of worry filled her heart.
"Oh, this is the academy’s external exchange list, Honor Points. With these points, one can exchange them for things at the academy," Mo calmly explained.
"Why is there no ’Thousand Miles of Ice Seal, Ten Thousand Miles of Snow Drift’ from Qhianqhian...?" That thing sounds like nonsense.
"Hmm." Mo didn’t speak, he simply nodded.
"So, what happens if someone gets it?" He Wenyu looked at the rows of weapons on the list, noting the points associated with weapons before and after, estimating the value of her weapon in points.
"To gain points, you must truly seize the weapon and then reach the academy safely. If you’re not the weapon’s owner, the academy naturally gives you points, but the external Honor Points don’t accumulate, you can only exchange them on the spot. And those who lose their weapons... will also lose the eligibility to enter the academy," Mo continued.
He Wenyu nodded in realization and continued to ask, "Then, what if someone brings the weapon to the academy themselves?"
"In that case, they will receive the academy’s internal Glory Points, which accumulate on the badge. Of course, yours will be added to your badge when you reach the academy."
He Wenyu slowly nodded, looking ahead, "So, how many points are awarded for a weapon not on this list?"
"... The least, right? Not sure, never encountered that before."
Mo truly meant it, as the weapons of those who successfully reached the academy were always ranked, and there had never been a situation where the weapon’s name was concealed.
But he couldn’t quite understand why Luo Qianqian was doing this.
Luo Qianqian was also filled with suspicion at this moment. Why, no matter how fast she ran or how much she detoured, could people still find her? It felt as if there was a GPS tracker on her, providing real-time positioning!
She inspected her outfit from head to toe and found nothing sinister planted by Mo. Moreover, Bai Yinshu and Yan’s methods should be aimed at themselves, not targeting her among so many people. There could only be one reason why everyone could find her...
It was this weapon in her hand.
"... What if I try washing it?" Luo Qianqian casually created a water bubble and tossed the Thousand Mechanism Box inside, scrubbing it repeatedly. Yet it was clear to see, no matter how she changed direction, the people behind her kept pursuing relentlessly, always catching up after a distance was created.
Right now, sitting on a rooftop, she was filled with confusion.
Where exactly is the tracking device hidden in this worthless thing!
She watched as the people closed in again, feeling utterly hopeless.
She got up and continued forward, but she had no idea where she should go, as no one would tell her...
"Are you... a newcomer?" A panting voice made Luo Qianqian instinctively stop mid-air. Looking down, she saw a sallow little face, filled with despair, shrinking into the corner of the courtyard.
She hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"I’m one too, can you help me?" The sallow little face hid under a basket among the chaos in the courtyard, revealing only a small face to look at Luo Qianqian. It was hard to discern the gender from the clothes, appearance, or any obvious traits, making Luo Qianqian even more hesitant.
If it were a companion, she seemingly should help, as she also needs social connections here and can’t just shut herself away in cultivation.
However, one thing was certain: this person was still young.
This made her relax a bit.
She hesitated to change direction, but then noticed the circle of people with faint breathing around the sallow little face. If not for the sharp look earlier, she almost overlooked the abnormal aura. With someone hiding, why was there chaos? Shouldn’t they guard in one direction? The animals in the courtyard were clearly in a state of alert. Suddenly stopping her steps, she said, "I’m quite kindhearted, but not stupid, goodbye."
With that, she quickly vanished.
The sallow little face was filled with disbelief, stood up, feathers sticking to his white clothes, adding a touch of absurdity, "Interesting, huh?" It was the first time he encountered someone who stopped only to run away, as others either ignored him or came directly down.
"Go investigate that person."
"Yes, young master."
The sallow little face was indeed a newcomer, but he belonged to a knowledgeable group, only aiming for Glory Points now. The stuff on the school’s Glory Board is immensely valuable!
"So scary, so scary," Luo Qianqian muttered as she walked, feeling the overwhelming situation.
After all, not only were there pursuers, but also schemes! It was practically a comprehensive test of stamina, strength, and intelligence, demanding distinction between friend and foe. Actually, the best solution in such situations was to ignore everything, to prevent being schemed against.
But this approach could seem a bit insensitive, given the existence of such elaborate plots. Does this imply someone is evaluating them as a whole?
Therefore, some disguised cooperation to confuse them?
Luo Qianqian felt she had grasped the truth, without considering that the sallow little face was indeed a Little Fox...
