Chapter 44: Usual Failure, Sudden Success III

“He’s so admirable…”

Sigh, it’s hopeless for me.”

She’s hiding her face so we won’t be repulsed till we can’t eat our lunches.”

“And finally, Ling Chuxi.” Second Elder rose dispiritedly and called out Ling Chuxi’s name with reluctance.

Though he was already at Battle Qi Level 4 Pinnacle, he did not possess any innate talent for cultivation.

The five elders’ hearts sank a little more with each failure.

After he aces the assessment, he’ll attend White Stone Academy.

Is she worried her pig head face will disgust us all?”

Once he graduated and became a strong warrior, he was sure Qin Xiruo would look at him in a different light and might even accept his affections.

Ling Xiaoting felt good when he overheard such talk from where he stood onstage.

Aside from Elder Brother Yichen, Elder Brother Xiaoting is the strongest.”

The Qins and Luos fared much better than the Lings in this year’s assessment.

It’s hilarious.

Ling Chunxi carried Little White safely in her arms as she ascended the steps to the stage.

Ling Xiaoting assuredly placed his hand into the monument’s groove.

Should we thank her then?

He didn’t think she would be able to pass.

How could the five elders not feel disappointed?

There were a fair number of participants, but aside from Ling Yichen, none of them passed the assessment!

Though they would never say otherwise, the elders also held the opinion that only Ling Yichen and Ling Xiaoting would pass this time.

“That is a given.

A barrage of mocking comments were streamed her way.

Faint smiles appeared on the five elders’ faces.

If Ling Chunxi were privy to his thoughts, she would have laughed herself to death.

If this ugly girl can pass the assessment, I’ll write my name backwards.”

He pulled his attention into focus and began to release his Battle Qi into the monument.

Ling Xiaoting began to panic and release huge amounts of Battle Qi into the monument… but it was to no avail.

“Ha!

They harbored much hope for Ling Xiaoting’s chances at passing the assessment.

Just as it was for the participant before him, the monument remained as it was without even the slightest ray of dim light emanating from it.

She’s not even showing her face by wearing such a big hat.

The ceremony carried on. Correct content is on fr.eew eb novel..com

“Little Chuxi, just try your best.” Second Elder looked emphatically at Ling Chuxi who was now standing before him.

Ling Xiaoting was up next.

He clambered onstage full of confidence.

She held the attention of many, though they were looking at her with gazes full of contempt and disdain.

“I think only the two of them will pass this year.

At this point, none of them entertained much hopes of passing and it showed.

“Absolutely.

“Elder Brother Xiaoting will definitely be able to pass the assessment.”

Second Elder continued calling out participants’ names one by one.

However…

Ling Xiaoting’s expression shifted and he became flustered.

There was a smile on his face as he waited for the monument to light up.

Her eyes were bright and dazzling.

The rules of this realm were indeed cruel.

The monument didn’t light up.

He managed to squeeze out a smile for her.

“What a waste of time.

Standing beside the stage, Ling Chuxi hugged Little White close as she sighed at the sight.

He concentrated harder and desperately channeled more Battle Qi into the groove.

There were quite a number of people trading whispers about him in front of the stage.

Alas, his face paled the very next moment as there was still no reaction from the monument!

He already had it all planned out.

There were many other disciples in the Ling clan who were more capable than her and yet they had failed to pass.

What a high-level fantasy Ling Xiaoting was entertaining.

Ling Xiaoting felt heartened by these thoughts of his.

Though he would have to be apart from Qin Xiruo, he would return during the holidays to see her.

“Wait and see, Second Elder.” Ling Chuxi returned his smile and gently assured him.

Their steps were leaden as they each made their way onstage and were even heavier as they walked offstage.

How could Ling Chunxi possibly hope to do what they couldn’t?

Nobody noticed a cold glint cut across Little White’s eyes when all this was said.

However, this stunning look was only witnessed by Little White who had raised its head to look at Ling Chunxi from the safety of her embrace.
