Chapter 121: The Master of Childcare Hall - Qi'an
The gate of the school is very wide, made of a whole piece of thick stone slab, and carved with various scenes of orc cubs playing and studying.
On both sides of the gate, there is a huge stone sculpture. On the left is a majestic lion with a bloody mouth and a roar to the sky. On the right is an eagle with its wings spread out, ready to fly, with sharp eyes, as if overlooking everything in the world.
Entering the school, there is a spacious courtyard with the ground paved with flat stones.
There is a circular stone platform in the center of the courtyard, with complex formation patterns engraved on it. This is where the orc cubs usually practice basic animal power.
There are several stone houses scattered around, some of which are classrooms, with tables and chairs made of stone and animal bones neatly arranged inside.
At this time, there were orc cubs taking classes there.
Their innocent and curious eyes glanced through the window at Qian Jingyao and others outside, and they turned their heads as if attracted by a magnet, causing a slight commotion in the classroom.
Then, Xia Yueke heard a male voice. The voice seemed to be wrapped in ice, cold and majestic:
"What are you all doing? Turn your heads back and don't let yourself be disturbed by the outside world. Otherwise, today's class will be doubled!"
This sound seemed to have an invisible deterrent power, making the originally noisy classroom suddenly so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The cubs seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. Their bodies stiffened and they slowly turned their heads back, but in their eyes there was still a trace of curiosity and reluctance towards the outside of the window.
Qi'an's cold voice was like an order. As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the classroom with steady and powerful steps.
He stood tall and straight, his white robe swaying gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.
His gaze seemed to be substantial, slowly sweeping over the three people in the yard, as if he was examining and considering them.
When his gaze fell on Xia Yueke, a barely perceptible ripple appeared in his eyes, which were originally as deep as a cold pond, and lingered for a second longer.
"Come here, are you also here to enlighten the cubs?"
His voice rang out again, still as sharp as an ice knife, without a trace of warmth. It echoed in the quiet courtyard, making the surrounding air seem a little colder.
Qian Jingyao nodded subconsciously. He could clearly feel the invisible pressure emanating from Qi'an.
His muscles tensed up involuntarily, and he was secretly amazed that Qi'an was actually a tenth-level orc, a powerful existence standing at the pinnacle of the beast world, with shocking power in his every move.
Xia Yueke looked at the man coming out of the door curiously.
He was wearing a white robe made of animal skin, which was tailored to perfection, showing off his tall and strong figure.
His appearance was extremely handsome, with sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, eyes as deep as the night, a high nose bridge, and thin lips tightly pursed.
However, the indifferent look on his face was like a layer of frost, adding a touch of coldness and hardness to his otherwise gentle handsomeness.
He is like a distant iceberg. Although he exudes dazzling beauty, it is difficult for others to approach him and they can only admire him from afar.
Xia Yueke never expected that the teachers here were so good-looking. She was immediately attracted to him and got all his attention!
Qian Jingyao and the other two followed Qi'an and walked slowly to a smaller stone house on the other side of the classroom stone house.
Here, three small stone houses stood side by side. Xia Yueke secretly wondered in his heart, could this be a place similar to an office?
Just as he was thinking, Qi'an had already walked to the stone house on the far left, gently opened the door, turned around and said:
"Come in with me, let's talk about admission in detail."
Xia Yueke was pulled by Qian Jingyao and walked into the house together.
What caught my eye was a stone table, which looked like it was used for an office. Animal skin paper and animal hair brushes were neatly placed on the table. There was a chair behind the table and two or three wooden stools opposite it.
"sit!"
Qi'an's voice was cold, like the water in a cold pond, unable to stir up a trace of warmth. "I am Qi'an, the head of the Nursery Hall. I am responsible for the enlightenment of all the cubs entering the hall."
After saying this, he sat down at the desk where he was correcting homework. His movements were elegant and concise, with an indifference that seemed otherworldly.
The three of them sat down as they were told. Xia Yueke sat upright in the middle, looking so well-behaved, just like an obedient cub.
Qi'an turned his gaze towards Qian Jingyao, his voice low and steady:
"You're already over ten days late registering for the cubs' initiation program, so you need to take a test. We'll then determine if you can enroll after reviewing your results."
Qian Jingyao was mentally prepared for this and had no objection at all. He just nodded slightly.
"Then can we come for the test tomorrow?"
Qi'an nodded slightly:
"It just so happens that there's a lamb cub that needs to be tested this morning. You two can come together then."
When Xia Yueke heard this, her eyes lit up like stars, her excitement was beyond words, and she asked anxiously:
"Is that Ayang? Is that the little one with the bell?"
Her body leaned forward slightly, and her hands unconsciously grasped the hem of her clothes. In that case, she might be in the same class as Ayang!
Qi'an frowned slightly, as if he was a little displeased with this sudden excitement. His eyes were still cold. He just glanced at Xia Yuke lightly, but did not say anything. His eyes seemed to silently signal her to keep quiet.
Xia Yueke noticed Qi'an's gaze and her heart suddenly sank, as if being grabbed by an invisible big hand. She stopped in fear.
She only felt that Qi'an's eyes were like a biting cold wind, whistling around her. She thought to herself, his eyes were so cold. Xia Yue felt that if she continued to be stared at by him, she would be frozen to death in this stone house!
But this guy is so annoying. He can't even ask a question. He's such a cold and heartless person.
Qing Yan noticed Qi'an's eyes. The coldness and intimidation in his eyes made him alert instantly. Without hesitation, he immediately stood in front of Xia Yueke, his chest rising and falling slightly, and said word by word:
"No, you're scaring Yue!"
Although his voice was childish, it was filled with an unquestionable determination, and his handsome face flushed slightly with anger.
Qian Jingyao also pulled Xia Yueke behind him without leaving any trace. His movements were gentle but extremely quick. At the same time, a faint smile appeared on his face, trying to ease the tense atmosphere, and said:
"Master Qi, children are naturally lively, I hope you won't be offended."
There was a hint of depth in his eyes, but he also showed dissatisfaction with Qi'an's cold treatment of Xia Yueke, but it was cleverly hidden under that gentle appearance.
Qi'an looked at the two people's actions, and a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes.
His face was still stern, his thin lips slightly parted, and his voice was like the sound of broken ice:
"In this orphanage, you must follow the rules and refrain from making excessive noise."
