[Xiao Shi, what do you think of this?] Lin Jingge asked Xiao Shi in her heart as she watched the guards who were cleaning up the bodies leave.
[Something's fishy, ​​definitely something's fishy!] Xiao Shi rolled over on Lin Jingge's head and said with absolute certainty, [However, becoming the city lord of one of the four major cities is definitely not easy. Gege, this matter has nothing to do with us, so it's best not to get involved.]
Xiao Shi didn't forget to remind Lin Jinge, fearing that Lin Jinge might suddenly have a saintly heart and actually interfere in the matter.
Based on the novels I've read before, this kind of thing is usually thankless and exhausting, and might even involve some big boss in the end.
[What are you thinking? Even Grandma couldn't be saved, how could I possibly get involved in something like this? Besides, it's not something I can interfere with.]
Lin Jingge knew her own limitations and naturally wouldn't throw her life away.
If she had the ability to intervene, that would be one thing, but now, even putting aside whether she has that ability, just the matter of saving Granny Lin is enough to make Lin Jingge unable to care about anything else.
"That's good. I was just worried you might do something rash. But we shouldn't stay in Nancheng any longer. Let's find out the news and leave as soon as possible." Having received Lin Jingge's affirmative answer, Xiao Shi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and reminded Lin Jingge.
Lin Jingge responded and quickly passed through the guards' inspection at the city gate before entering.
As soon as I stepped through the city gate, I heard the arguing of some people who had lost their relatives and friends behind me.
"If you had opened the door sooner, my son wouldn't have died! You owe me my son!" The woman, who had just lost her child, was the most irrational. She rushed forward, grabbed a guard, and was about to punch him.
The guards, of course, didn't care about the lives of these powerless people and immediately pushed them away.
"It's not like we told you to wait here. You came early and lured the monster to the city gate. We're already being lenient by not even asking you to clean up the bloodstains on the ground!" The guard glanced disdainfully at the woman he had knocked to the ground. When he realized that she was just a spiritualist, his disdain in his eyes intensified.
Having already entered the city, Lin Jingge subconsciously turned back to look at the woman who was lying on the ground crying and shouting, and suddenly felt a pang of pity.
However, there was nothing she could do at that moment.
He could only force himself to turn his head away, blocking out the cries from the city gate, and stride into the city.
The city's wide, clean streets were bustling with people, a stark contrast to the cries and wails coming from the city gates.
Lin Jingge pulled someone aside to ask for directions.
The admissions office was practically a household name in Nancheng, and anyone could easily give Lin Jingge directions.
Lin Jingge walked all the way to the admissions office.
Even as the deadline approached, there was still a long queue.
Aside from a small number of people who are truly confident, most people are just trying their luck.
However, this year is different from previous years. For some unknown reason, the children's aptitude is much better than before. Not to mention Great Spirit Masters, there are even one or two Spirit Kings.
There are still places where the number of people recruited in previous years is insufficient, so the requirements have to be lowered.
Therefore, those hoping to find a bargain will likely only leave disappointed.
After glancing at the seemingly endless queue, Lin Jingge quickly joined the back of the line.
[Gege, I'm going to see what's going on up ahead.] Xiao Shi leaped down from Lin Jingge's head, landing steadily on the ground. Before Lin Jingge could answer, he had already started running forward.
"Eh..." Lin Jingge was so anxious that she blurted it out, but she quickly realized what she was saying and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
She originally wanted to remind Xiao Shi not to run around, since it was still unknown whether there would be a third or fourth special person like Lin Shu and Ye Su who could catch Xiao Shi.
In other words, she and Xiaoshi were lucky; neither of them had any murderous intent.
Xiao Shi, on the other hand, had clearly forgotten the pain of her previous injury, and was leisurely running forward on her four short legs.
In this place where powerful spiritual masters roam everywhere, Lin Jingge couldn't use her divine sense to investigate, so she had no choice but to have it mount the horse itself.
With this in mind, Xiao Shi sped up his pace even more.
Lin Jingge obediently stood in the back of the line, looking at the long queue, wondering how long it would take before it was her turn.
Suddenly, someone appeared behind her.
She was a woman in yellow, wearing a light yellow short skirt that revealed a pair of slender and straight legs. On one ankle was a transparent bead strung with a red string, which made her legs look even whiter and more delicate.
"Hey, how long have you been waiting in line here?" The woman was very friendly. When she saw that the person standing in front of her was also a woman, she raised her hand and patted Lin Jingge on the shoulder.
With a gentle tap, it was moved away at the slightest touch.
She stepped forward and peered over.
Lin Jingge turned around instinctively and almost bumped into the other person.
"I just arrived too, and I haven't been waiting for long." Lin Jingge was uncomfortable with strangers getting too close to her, so she quickly stepped back a little.
Fortunately, there was some distance between her and the people in front of her, which gave her extra space.
"There are so many people, I wonder how long the wait will be," the woman sighed.
Having seen so many women's outfits from the Canglan Continent, Lin Jingge felt a sense of being transported back to interstellar space when she saw the short skirt that barely covered the other woman.
The people of the interstellar world are much more open than those on the Azure Continent.
After that, Lin Jingge didn't reply to the woman. The woman wasn't a chatterbox, so she just quietly continued queuing.
Not long after, Xiao Shi called out: "GeGe, stop lining up, just come to the front."
Although the line was long, it didn't extend the distance between the two of them.
Having received Xiao Shi's words, Lin Jingge didn't think much of it and immediately broke away from the group, intending to squeeze through the gaps on the side and walk towards the front.
He had only taken a few steps when he was grabbed.
Lin Jingge turned around and saw the woman with the yellow hair from before.
"Where are you going? We've been queuing for so long. If you leave now, you'll have to start queuing from the very back." The woman meant well. After saying that, she gestured for Lin Jingge to look at the line behind her.
Not long after, a long line of people had formed along the street.
This is enough to show that the number of people who signed up this year is quite large.
"I have something to do." Lin Jingge pulled the woman's hand away.
Although she knew the other person meant well, she didn't know them at all and didn't like being touched by strangers.
"Then why are you leaving the line? Don't you want to sign up anymore? Today is the last day..." At this point, Huang Zi's eyes darted around, and she suddenly exclaimed loudly, "I know, you're trying to cut in line! Isn't that right?!"
As the girl in yellow exclaimed in surprise, many people in front of her looked over, all with unfriendly eyes.
