The black-haired, silver-eyed girl had a blank expression on her face. She waited until the fat woman had finished scolding her before she slowly got up and said in a cold voice, "I told you that I will pay you back double when I am admitted to Gray College, but there is still a few days left."
The fat woman spat, her face full of disdain: "You said you passed the exam, so you passed! Don't you have to pay tuition to enroll in Gray College? You can just go there casually?"
It is true that the training of a magician is very expensive. Many people are unable to take the next step due to their lack of wealth, and thus become victims of certain forces.
This feels like a casual cultivator in the world of cultivation. If he doesn't have a backer, it will be very difficult to make progress. If a magician doesn't reach a certain level, he will spend money like water but the income is not obvious, and the higher he goes, the poorer he becomes.
The fat woman's worries are not without reason. Being a magic apprentice is just the starting point for a magician, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
Given the noble status and number of magicians, Gray Academy not only charges an exam fee, but the tuition after admission is also not affordable for ordinary people, especially for the magician major, where the tuition is several times that of other majors.
It has to be said that there are few people with magical talent. With the exercise of natural selection, it is no wonder that the proportion of magicians is so small.
A trace of gloom flashed across the silver eyes, and the girl's expression was a little stiff and embarrassed. She actually had another silver coin in her hand, but it was saved for the exam fee.
The examination fee was naturally not as high as a silver coin, it was ten copper coins that everyone could afford, but the examination lasted for three days, and she could not rely on the sympathy and charity of others, otherwise, once there was no sympathy, she might not even be able to finish the examination.
The girl clenched her fists and seemed to have made up her mind. She would save the silver coin until the end to take the exam: "Anyway, I will definitely pay you back what I owe you. Thank you for taking care of me these days, boss..."
"Haha, if it weren't for this face, how could that man be so stupid? God of Light, how much is a guest room worth now? He actually lets people eat and stay for free? I don't know what he is thinking." The fat woman sneered, her voice getting louder and louder, and she looked at the cowardly man behind the counter who was almost lowering his head to the counter. If she hadn't decided to go to her own store on a whim, she wouldn't have known about the situation. When she goes home tonight, she will clean up the mess.
The girl seemed to have received a great insult, but she still swallowed it and turned around as if to walk out of the store. There were still a few days left, so she just needed to find a place to spend the night.
Seeing things develop in this way, Yang Lan'er suddenly felt that the fat proprietress was not so bad after all.
At least she didn't curse anyone too harshly. She just stated some facts and showed a little sense of crisis about her man's kindness.
Anyway, it was much gentler than Yang Lan'er had imagined.
After all, they just kicked the girl out and didn't force her to pay back the money or anything, and the magic apprentices in the imperial capital were indeed the least valuable.
For some reason, Yang Lan'er's first feeling was not sympathy for the girl, but she thought that the fat proprietress was quite nice. These days, there are indeed not so many free things when running a business.
What's more, as women, we naturally don't have the compassion and gentleness of men.
It’s not that Yang Lan’er had a bad feeling towards the girl. On the contrary, she was quite interested in this girl. She didn’t seem to appear in the plot, but there was a sense of incongruity.
"Oh, the proprietress is angry. How about this? This gold coin will be regarded as paying off the debt to this distinguished magician. Let her continue to live here before Gray College opens. How much is the difference? Just tell me the number." Yang Lan'er flicked a gold coin to the fat woman and said softly.
Yi Mishang didn't say anything, but glanced sideways and looked carefully at the girl with black hair and silver eyes. She wondered why Yang Lan'er wanted to help her?
Pure sympathy? Haha, Yi Mishang believes that she and Yang Lan'er are similar in many ways, and she definitely doesn't have that much sympathy. The only explanation is that there is something strange about this girl? The girl paused, looked at Yang Lan'er in surprise, hesitated for a moment and bit her lip: "I will return it to you."
Yang Lan'er tilted her head to take in the girl's expression, and nodded secretly with satisfaction.
This girl has a strong self-esteem and is inherently proud. However, even though the situation is obviously not good, she does not refuse help from others because of her self-esteem. Instead, she maintains her pride in her own way and knows how to make choices.
The fat woman's words just now were, after all, scolding her for using her face to eat and live without any care, but even though the girl felt insulted, she didn't do anything inappropriate, and there was gratitude towards the male boss in her eyes.
People like this are worth helping.
"Okay." Yang Lan'er did not refuse. She nodded to protect the girl's pride and made her feel relieved.
The fat woman's expression naturally changed when she got the gold coins, indicating that the room would still be occupied by the girl.
Yi Mishang saw something. Although the girl looked cold towards the fat woman, she did not care about the insult she had just made. It was not because she was as magnanimous as a white lotus, but because she knew very well that she had been favored in the beginning, and the fat woman's reasons were all reasonable.
"You are still a minor in this world, and it's not bad to have such a mentality and sense of right and wrong." Yi Mishang thought this was the reason why Yang Lan'er helped the girl.
As she walked back, Yang Lan'er shook her head: "At the beginning, I didn't know her personality, and I thought if I didn't like her, I would have less contact with her in the future. One gold coin is nothing more than that."
"So, what is your purpose?" Yi Mishang was puzzled. Her strength was not enough and there were some things she could not see through.
"Because of her physique." Yang Lan'er raised a playful smile: "She has a very pure light-type physique, and she is extremely talented. She is only a magic apprentice now. It should be related to the time she was exposed to magic."
"Just because of this?" Yi Mishang was at a loss. She didn't think this was the reason why Yang Lan'er would take action.
Yang Lan'er chuckled: "This girl's talent and physique are better than any other Saint of Light I've ever seen. Moreover, and most importantly, she doesn't believe in the God of Light..."
"You can see this, too?" Better than the Saint's physique? Yi Mishang probably guessed what Yang Lan'er was thinking.
