Chapter 36 Clan School 6 Xie Jiaoyue was bathed in holy light.
After the monster left, Xie Jiaoyue bent over and explored the vicinity of the cave. Before long, she plucked a handful of grass and handed it to Xin Xiuying.
"What time is it? You're still studying this? If you don't work harder, you'll lose your number one spot!"
Xie Jiaoyue was no longer as relaxed as before; her tone became serious: "I think there might be something wrong with this grass. Take a closer look."
Xin Xiuying suspiciously held the grass under her nose and sniffed it, then tore off a piece and put it in her mouth to taste it.
"There might really be something wrong with this grass, but I'm not entirely sure."
Well, even if they can't be sure, they have no other choice now.
Xie Jiaoyue grabbed a handful of grass and darted away in a flash.
Xin Xiuying huffed and puffed as she chased after them; cooperating with these people with golden spiritual roots was just too exhausting.
Xie Jiaoyue was extremely fast, much faster than when she lured the magical beast. After chasing for a while, she finally caught up with the beast's exhaust fumes.
She increased her speed even further.
However, the monsters ahead are about to catch up with that unfortunate fellow.
The unlucky guy fell down.
The unfortunate fellow had already sent out a distress signal, but it would take the division commander some time to arrive, forcing the commander to shout, "Stand up and run!"
The next moment.
The monster pounced on the unlucky guy.
Chu Xingjin finally appeared in the treetop, about to leap down in his signature pose.
The fastest to act was Xie Jiaoyue, who tied grass to her sword and threw it like a javelin.
The unfortunate fellow let out a piercing scream.
Ahhh, hiccup.
The monster on his head stopped moving, sniffed the air, immediately abandoned him, and pounced on the other side.
Chu Xingjin's movement missed, and his longsword plunged into the soil.
The monster completely ignored the two people beside it and lunged at a sword covered in grass.
The enormous monster lay on its side on the ground, rubbing its head against the haystack. It didn't look like a ferocious monster at all; instead, it resembled a cuddly kitten.
Looking at the monster so close at hand, the unlucky guy who had just escaped from the brink of death felt strange, even a sense of absurdity.
Hey bro, you're a Warcraft player, can you stop acting like a cat?
What is this grass? Could it be Warcraft mint? The kind that's addictive in Warcraft?
His hand was itching to pick up a blade of grass to examine it.
Before he could even extend his hand, a deluge of blood rushed over him.
It's hot.
The unlucky guy has given up on screaming.
Through blurry vision, he saw Chu Xingjin standing beside the demonic beast, holding a long sword. He was tall and elegant, with an indifferent expression, like a celestial being descended to earth.
In a different context, he might have been impressed, but now the unfortunate fellow couldn't help but think that Chu Xingjin had been hiding there all along, meaning that Chu Xingjin watched him fall into danger without any intention of helping him.
Actually, it's nothing. Chu Xingjin is his peer and has no obligation to save him.
But he couldn't help thinking that Chu Xingjin clearly had the ability to kill the magical beast, yet he kept waiting, waiting for the moment when he was in the most danger, waiting for the magical beast to be the most relaxed, so that he could guarantee that he could kill the magical beast with 100% certainty.
But can we really guarantee he'll survive?
Even the division commander is on edge, can Chu Xingjin, who is only at the Qi Refining stage, really guarantee anything?
Is it possible that Chu Xingjin never actually considered whether he was alive or dead?
The unlucky guy didn't dare to think about what would happen next.
He still felt a chill when he thought about it. Oh well, he'd better stay away from Chu Xingjin in the future. He was usually pretty lucky, but he always became unlucky when he got close to Chu Xingjin.
The female nun in the back is better.
He wiped the blood off his face, stood up, waved excitedly to Xie Jiaoyue, and warmly invited her: "Hello, sister, would you like to join our psychic reading service?"
It's like asking for WeChat.
Xie Jiaoyue walked over and shook her head coldly: "I have a fiancé."
"It's alright, sister, I can be your servant."
"I had to decline, you poor thing."
The unlucky guy was furious; he needed to think carefully about what his sister might be lacking.
Chu Xingjin then noticed Xie Jiaoyue; it turned out that Xie Jiaoyue was the one who had almost caused him to make a mistake.
Before he could speak, Xie Jiaoyue had already taken Chu Xingjin's hand, her eyes filled with tears of affection.
"Brother Chu, you scared me to death just now! I almost thought you were going to die."
“That monster is different from the previous ones. Its attack power is much stronger. If you are not careful, Brother Chu will get hurt.”
"I deliberately knocked the monster unconscious so that Brother Chu would definitely not be in danger."
It turned out that it was to save Chu Xingjin.
Before Chu Xingjin could speak, the unlucky guy blurted out, "Sister, aren't you afraid the magical beasts will go berserk and turn to attack you?"
Xie Jiaoyue also killed a bunch of magical beasts. Even though the freshmen didn't know how she killed them at first, they all found out after exchanging information with each other at the entrance of the cave.
It's obvious that Xie Jiaoyue isn't very good at attacking magical beasts, and she might be in danger if she were to confront them head-on.
Xie Jiaoyue smiled shyly: "I said I would protect Brother Chu, and I will definitely protect him. I will never break my promise and will never let him encounter any danger during the entrance examination."
My goodness, Sister Furnace is so brave to save her beloved, even at the risk of her own safety.
After a moment of internal struggle, the unlucky fellow finally asked, "Then why did you save me?"
If it was only for Chu Xingjin, there was no need to attack the monster at that time.
Xie Jiaoyue put away her shy smile and said with deep affection, firmness and gentleness: "You are my classmates and Brother Chu's classmates. We should compete and support each other on the path of cultivation. We should not be ruined in a place like this."
This was also what she truly felt; dying in such a place was utterly meaningless. It wasn't that she couldn't save them, nor was it that she would sacrifice her divine life to save these unfortunate souls. So why didn't she save them?
In that instant, the unlucky guy felt that Xie Jiaoyue was being bathed in holy light.
Regardless of who she's doing it for, Sister Furnace has a heart full of love! She loves each and every one of them!
Is this how love makes people strong?
So it seems like being love-obsessed isn't such a bad thing.
What happened to the furnace? From this moment on, the unlucky guy unilaterally declares that the furnace sister is the most handsome in his heart!
He gave a thumbs up: "Whether you're number one or not, you're number one in my heart."
Chu Xingjin couldn't understand Xie Jiaoyue's thoughts at all. He didn't care about these people who were so different from him, and he was too lazy to listen to their conversation. He only cared about one thing.
Is he currently in first place?
He opened the leaderboard and looked at it with great anticipation.
First, Xie Jiaoyue?
How is that possible? He clearly killed the monster! How could Xie Jiaoyue be number one!
Did Xie Jiaoyue cheat? Or did the Xie family help Xie Jiaoyue cheat?
He looked at his teacher and said, "Teacher, I think you should explain your grades."
The division commander was not happy to hear this.
This kid's tone and word choice are a bit arrogant; even his master wouldn't talk to him like that.
But he didn't want to argue with a child, so he had to deal with his discomfort alone and patiently explain the grades to the ignorant brat.
"I will calculate the score based on each person's contribution and performance, rather than solely on the final kill. For example, when Xie Jiaoyue and Xin Xiuying worked together to kill the monster, the score was calculated based on their respective contributions."
Not all assessments are conducted in this way. There are not many new students, and the entire process is meticulously recorded by the water mirror. Moreover, it takes place on territory completely controlled by the clan school, so it is possible to do so.
Chu Xingjin felt this was completely unreasonable: "What contribution did Xie Jiaoyue make? She just threw away a few blades of grass. She has never practiced alchemy and knows nothing about spiritual plants. There is no way she could know the function of those blades of grass."
This Warcraft achievement should have been his alone; how could it be taken away by someone else?
The division commander clapped his hands: "You reminded me, we should also give some points to Xin Xiuying."
Then he deducted a small amount from Chu Xingjin and gave it to Xin Xiuying.
Historically, students who want to check their scores have found that their scores are getting lower and lower.
Chu Xingjin was so angry that he turned around and walked out.
After resolving the issue of scores, this assessment was finally over.
All the new students were brought out of the dense forest by their teachers. The children who looked so bright and cheerful before were now covered in dust, and some even had minor injuries. They looked disheveled and pitiful.
Xie Jiaoyue looked at her clothes and was a little unhappy.
She had wanted to always look beautiful, but in the end, she still messed up.
Her mother wasn't by her side, and there was no one to perform the cleansing ritual for her.
She clung to Xin Xiuying, looking dejected, and said, "Oh no, my perfect image is ruined."
Xin Xiuying looked at Xie Jiaoyue.
Oh, a broken, battle-damaged beauty.
She really had nothing to say to these people who were favored by God.
The instructor cleared his throat and spoke much more gently to the new students who had been ravaged by the monsters: "The assessment is over. Congratulations, regardless of your results. I believe that after this experience, you will all be able to face monsters without fear in the future."
The previously listless freshmen suddenly perked up.
Yes, their grades are bad, but they're stronger than before.
"As for the rankings this time, I don't think I need to say more. Let's congratulate Xie Jiaoyue for winning first place in the entrance examination and gaining the qualification to enter the Azure Kite Secret Realm."
"Congratulations to Chu Xingjin as well. He came in second place with a very close score to Xie Jiaoyue. Keep up the good work, and perhaps one day he will take first place."
Chu Xingjin is too arrogant; getting second place might be a good way to hone his skills. If he's honed up, he might achieve great things in the future.
Applause and cheers erupted from the surrounding area.
Chu Xingjin's impressive mental fortitude and abilities during the assessment also drew attention, and no one underestimated him just because he came in second place.
The unlucky guy didn't applaud, but he also didn't publicize Chu Xingjin's actions, since it was just his opinion and there was no actual evidence.
Anyway, it's enough that he's doing his best to celebrate for Sister Furnace.
Amid cheers, Chu Xingjin no longer maintained a stern expression.
It's okay, he'll get the qualification for the secret realm eventually.
It's okay. Although Xie Jiaoyue was designated as number one by the teacher, in other people's eyes, he is clearly number one.
That's enough, as long as he wins against Xie Jiaoyue.
Amidst the commotion, no one could see the sadness beneath Chu Xingjin's smile.
However, Xie Lingliu noticed it from behind the water mirror.
She thought, if she wanted to get close to Chu Xingjin, wasn't this the best opportunity sent by heaven?
