Holy crap, what is she going to do?!
Upon realizing that she had forgotten such an important thing, Xu Ling couldn't help but curse in her mind.
Moreover, judging from what Cecily just said, it is clear that, to this day, her teacher has not considered what should happen to her!
Xu Ling felt anxious, but she knew she couldn't show it too much, otherwise, wouldn't that be clearly telling them that her motives weren't pure?
Therefore, suppressing the panic spreading in her heart, Xu Ling tilted her head and asked, feigning ignorance, "Then... should I go too?"
Cersei was taken aback by the question.
This was a question she hadn't really considered before!
You should know that, let alone the basics, just a month ago, Xu Ling was an illiterate person who couldn't read a single character!
If she can't even read, what reason does she have to send Xu Ling to an academy to learn advanced knowledge?
Of course, that was just her previous thought; now...
Each situation needs to be analyzed individually. After a month, Xu Ling was no longer the "little illiterate," and she had to consider the future direction of her education.
We can't just let Xu Ling continue with her previous life, stuck in the same old routine of learning to read, can we?
So... how should she treat Xu Ling?
Out of the corner of her eye, Cersei caught a glimpse of the "Basic Guide to Witchcraft and Medicine" that she had just handed to the other person, and her eyes were filled with conflicting emotions.
It's not that she hadn't considered leaving Xu Ling here, but so far, Xu Ling is still a precious treasure to her—what if something happens to the "Little Witch of Heavenly Mystery" that she finally got her hands on?
If that's the case, she'll have nowhere to cry!
Or rather... she comes and goes every day, just in case?
Not to mention that she would have to live in the faculty dormitory at the beginning of the semester, even if she didn't live there, the daily commute would not only be a waste of time for her, but also quite difficult!
Neither left nor right works, so what should we do?
Deep down, Cersei had a vague idea, but she hesitated and dared not make a decision.
The atmosphere fell silent.
Xu Ling blinked, pretending not to notice Cersei's hesitation.
Seeing that she didn't speak, he took the initiative and continued his probing: "So I don't have to go? Is it... that I just need to follow the teacher?"
She didn't mention at all that she absolutely had to go to school, but her words clearly indicated that she was only given two choices.
Either she goes to school, or she goes with Cersei.
To put it bluntly, these may seem like two choices, but the difference is actually not that big!
Although Xu Ling didn't know that Cecilia had to live at the academy, she knew that her teacher would definitely have to go there.
So even in the worst-case scenario—she could only follow Cecily—entering Phil Academy was a certainty.
But despite saying that, deep down she was still frantically chanting: She wanted to go to school! She absolutely had to!
After all, if she were to follow Cersei around all the time, how would she find a chance to go see Ruth?!
Xu Ling's intentions were quite obvious, but perhaps because she asked so frankly, she seemed a bit silly and didn't appear to have any ulterior motives. Cersei, who was struggling with how to settle her affairs, didn't notice this obvious intention.
Even Cersei's thoughts drifted along with her words.
Whether you want to admit it or not, given the current situation, taking Xu Ling with you to Phil Academy is indeed the only option left.
only······
Just like Xu Ling said, should she use connections to get Xu Ling into the academy? Or should she have Xu Ling by her side every day?
Phil Academy does have an entrance exam, but Cecily never expected Xu Ling to get in on her own merit. After all, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't compare to other students who had studied diligently for years!
Cersei pondered the choice carefully.
Finally, thinking that Xu Ling would be uncomfortable following her around every day, she decided to go to the dean to pull some strings!
Anyway, she has never used her power as a teacher since she joined the school. Now... it's just about putting someone in the college. It's not too much to ask, is it?
Having decisively convinced herself, the hesitation in Cersei's eyes vanished, and she looked steadily at Xu Ling, saying, "Lingling, you should go to school too!"
"Really?" Xu Ling's eyes widened in surprise, but she still couldn't quite believe it; it had been done so easily...
Unable to resist confirming again and again, she asked, "Really? I can go to school too?"
Seeing Xu Ling's longing yet fear that this was just a joke, Cecily's eyes softened, and a bright smile appeared on her lips.
“Of course!” Cersei agreed softly. “Maybe you can even be in the same class as Lily, um… yes, and Lily can take care of you.”
What?! April is to take care of her?!
Xu Ling, who was still immersed in the joy of hearing what she wanted to hear, was stunned by her teacher's next sentence before she could even express her happiness.
Not only Xu Ling doubted that she had misheard, but April also had the same blank look on her face.
The two instinctively looked at each other in bewilderment.
—Can I (she) take care of her (me)?
They all had some doubts about whether the subject and predicate of the sentence were wrong.
Regardless of what the two of them were really thinking, Cersei had already forgotten about it after saying it.
Now that the decision has been made, the most important thing is to ensure that Xu Ling can enroll in school smoothly!
So, without hesitation, Sersi decided to go to the dean's office immediately to discuss the matter of getting in through the back door!
She stood up and patted Xu Ling on the back of the head. "Let's go, Lingling, come with me to see the dean."
Reaching for her flying device, which was normally just an ordinary broom, Cecily turned to April and said, "April, you stay here for now, okay? Lingling and I will be right back!"
April nodded.
Soon, Cersei, riding a broomstick with Xu Ling on her back, disappeared from April's sight.
Because she planned to go and return quickly, Cersei didn't even bring Black this time.
