Chapter 831 The Gods' Game: Card Swapping 75
On the night the competition ended, the apprentices were taken back to Moonlight Wetlands and went home to continue their winter vacation, which was incredibly efficient.
Yu Xunge was the only one left behind. Before even Dong Xue could dig, Tian Hu Haoqi took him to the principal's office.
She still held two small comets in her hand, one crimson and one azure. The two irregularly shaped luminous objects shone brightly in the darkness, reminding her of the bloated moon in "The Raging Moon".
This is what the pillar of light from the individual and fun matches after the Gods Game ended has transformed into; she doesn't yet know what it's for.
Standing atop a tree, this was her first time in the principal's office, which was located at the very top of the giant tree in Moonlight Forest!
Yu Xunge instantly changed her career plan; she no longer wanted to be a teacher at Moonlight Wetlands, she wanted to be the principal!
As they got closer to the flower nest surrounded by clouds, she finally couldn't help but say to Tianhu Haoqi, who was walking beside her, "Don't we need to ask my parents? There are some things I think you can talk to my parents about directly."
Tianhu Haoqi turned his head and glanced at her with a smile: "She has arrived."
Yu Xunge became even more nervous.
She had already guessed the consequences of her dangerous skills being discovered—the worst that could happen was temporary withdrawal from school, with her returning in August to start fourth grade directly.
Although Moonlight Wetlands wouldn't change the school rules for her, it wasn't so stubborn as to give up on an apprentice who had won two God Games championships in her third year.
Of course, even if she is expelled, she is not worried about not having a school to attend. After the God Game ended, at least 39 school principals expressed their welcome for her to transfer to their schools.
But thinking about each passing day... it's hard for her not to feel nervous.
In the past, during holidays, her daily tolerance limit was one month. At the end of the holiday, she would throw her to the shadow and let her practice fighting with a shadow.
How rich her experiences were when she left Karadom with Sunstrider! From the gladiatorial arena to infiltrating noble mansions and working and learning at the Bug Thief Tavern. At first, she thought it was all elite courses!
But years later, Yu Xunge had long seen through Zhu Ri's personality; the design of these courses was entirely Zhu Ri's attempt to slack off...
All you need to do is use your skills to monitor the child at all times. Just find a place to drop the child off, and you can get rid of the child and do your own thing, living your own happy life!
Although she admitted that she had learned a lot from those courses, her favorite was everything she had learned on the road from the Bug Thief Tavern to Garbage Street.
The road was just too short... She always flew very slowly on purpose. Occasionally, she would walk slowly too, but she would speed up after a few steps because she thought it was too foolish to stand still on the streets of Draenor!
She could always sense how happy Zhu Ri was before the start of each school term. If she really had to drop out and go home this time, staying until the start of school in August, she wondered if Zhu Ri would be angry.
Although her thieving skills weren't discovered, something went wrong with the "Reversal Moment" that she hadn't told Zhu Ri about.
"You look like you have something heavy on your mind." This is what Tianhu Haoqi asked her.
“There is a bit of a problem… Do you think Zhu Ri would be willing to carry around a well-behaved genius cub while working and playing?”
“I don’t think she’s willing.” Tianhu Haoqi changed the subject and said, “You could actually consider finding a teacher who is willing to bring a…genius child with her while working and playing.”
"...What did you mean by that pause?"
A third voice joined the conversation without permission.
The voice, sharp even when spoken softly, said, "What she means is that you can be a real headache at times."
Yu Xunge looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhu Ri, wearing a new leather armor, leaning against the door of the flower house. His black cloak was being blown wildly in the air by the strong wind from the treetop, almost twisted into a rope.
The tension and heaviness from before vanished instantly, and she flew over in surprise: "You really came? Did you see me win the championship? Two! Two in the third grade!"
Zhu Ri: "Not bad. If you weren't going to take a break from school in the second semester of your third year, I would say it was a perfect match."
Yu Xunge was momentarily speechless.
Tianhu Haoqi said gently, "You can leave her here with me."
Zhu Ri chuckled, gave Tian Hu Haoqi a light glare, and then grabbed his apprentice by the back of the collar and returned to the principal's office.
From the outside, it looks like a flower shop, but inside it's like a secluded paradise.
Principal Cuoda of Moonlight Wetland was lying on the lakeside, chewing on a flower petal.
There was a stone next to it, on which sat a pot of flower tea and several cups, and beside the stone was a simple futon.
After putting the apprentices down each day, he sat back down on the meditation cushion and continued the conversation from where they left off:
"It's okay for her to take a leave of absence next semester, but she must be compensated. It was the school's negligence that you didn't discover her dangerous skills, not hers. It's only right that a promising but pitiful child is deprived of education and will fall behind other apprentices by half a year. Compensation is a matter of course."
Incorrect answer: "I didn't say I wouldn't give compensation, but isn't 550,000 gold coins a bit outrageous?"
Tianhu Haoqi & Yu Xunge: ...
The same thought flashed through their minds at the same time: this might just be the number of gold coins she owes Wailing.
The situation was much better than Yu Xunge had imagined. Not only was there no punishment, but she was even able to get compensation?!
After a long struggle between the elf and the unicorn, Zhu Ri finally relented: "In addition to the prize for winning the God's Game, I will compensate her with a unicorn's blessing as compensation for her suspension from school."
He agreed when Yu Xunge gave the wrong answer, and looked at him gently: "Child, you performed wonderfully in the God's Game. I am proud of you. What reward do you want?"
Without hesitation, Yu Xunge replied, "310,000 gold coins."
Tianhu Haoqi & Wrong Answer: "..."
Every day, he turned his head and stared blankly at the lake, as if he had seen something very interesting.
Finally, the unicorn decided to give up on communication. Instead, it took out 50 SSS-level scrolls and placed them on the ground, letting the apprentice choose two as a reward.
Yu Xunge discovered that the skill effect of "Rejecting Silent Violence" had been activated...
But she didn't care. She thanked them and happily ran towards the skill scrolls scattered on the ground.
Sitting cross-legged next to Zhu Ri, Tian Hu Hao Qi poured himself a cup of tea and sighed, "It's been so long, and a champion still only gets one skill as a reward."
Zhu Ri stopped looking at the lake and said with dissatisfaction, "Moonlight Wetlands hasn't won a championship in so long, and they even won two championships at once, but the rewards aren't even upgraded."
Incorrect answer: "This is already the upgraded version; all the skills I've brought out are top-tier SSS-level skills."
More than ten minutes later, Yu Xunge finally managed to select two skills.
She flew back to Zhu Ri with the two scrolls in her arms and handed them to her: "Zhu Ri, what do you think of these two?"
Without even glancing at it, Zhu Ri flicked the scrolls back with two fingers. Just as she was about to say, "Can't you even decide such a small matter yourself?", she caught a glimpse of Tian Hu Hao Qi moving beside her. She then reached out and pulled the two scrolls back: "Hmm, let the teacher take a look."
Tianhu Haoqi: "..." She just wanted to pour herself a cup of herbal tea...
