Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Entering Campus_1

Mo Ziqing took a sip of tea and said, "This is the twelfth time I’m telling you, I’ve said five times that Dugu Qianye and her group set off a month earlier than us. She might have been delayed on the way. Have you not gone to the Mercenary Guild to ask?"

"I did go, but there was no news. We had agreed that she would find us, and I’m still waiting for her to treat us to barbecue! If she dares to stand us up, I’ll make her treat me to barbecue ten times," Dan Jingtian said, indignantly returning to his seat and sitting down.

The other two people in the room were immediately rendered speechless, with their faces full of dark lines. It seems you’re not missing her, but her barbecue...

Mo Residence.

In the hall, five middle-aged men sat opposite each other. Sitting in the highest seat was the current Family Head of the Mo Family, Mo Chi, with his four brothers Mo Yun, Mo Yan, Mo Yin, and Mo Jian below him.

"Younger brother, the college recruitment is tomorrow, why has Qianye not arrived yet? Could something have happened?" Mo Chi asked, looking at Mo Jian who was leisurely sipping tea below him.

"Indeed, how could you let her travel alone?!" The hot-tempered third brother also blamed Mo Jian.

"Can Qianye really cultivate now? We haven’t seen it, and we still find it a little hard to believe," the astute fourth brother said, also unsettled.

"Initially, it was her victory in the competition amongst the four major families that allowed us to keep our position in Qifeng City and alleviate the crisis for the Imperial Capital. With her high-star Holy Beast, nothing should have happened. She said she would come to Pu City, so she will definitely come, it’s just the time of her return to the Mo Residence that remains unknown," Mo Jian replied helplessly. He remembered that he seemed to have repeated the answer four or five times already, hadn’t he?!

"What do you mean by ’the time of her return to the Mo Residence remains unknown’? The Mo Residence is not some dragon’s den or tiger’s lair, what could she be afraid to come back for?!" the third brother clamored.

"Since he has acknowledged the fifth, and allowed you all to return, then she will certainly come back sooner or later," Mo Chi said. "By the way, Mo Feng was also trained by her, right? A 14-year-old Level 3 Alchemist – such talent, we must cultivate him with all our might. Is he going to apply for the Elixir Department?"

"Yes. When Qianye left, she asked him to go study too. With his talent, getting into the college will be an easy task," Mo Jian said.

"Having our own Alchemist will make it easier to counter the Feng Family. Ever since they hired a Level 5 Alchemist, they have been suppressing our elixir business, and we are now struggling to advance in the elixir market," the fourth brother, who managed the family’s business affairs, said.

"We’re still one big family together, and we still don’t know exactly how our younger sister is doing now," the usually reticent second brother said.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Early the next morning, Long Lei came to pick up Dugu Qianye. The Long Family’s carriage looked simple, but it was arranged very comfortably. After entering the carriage, Dugu Qianye yawned and asked, "Wasn’t it said to be at 7 o’clock? It’s just past 6 now."

"It was said that there are especially many people registering this year. We must go early and get in line at the front, otherwise we’ll have to wait a long time," Long Lei explained.

The carriage drove for two hours and got stuck when it was just one street away from Empire College. Dugu Qianye opened the carriage door and was shocked by the sight before her. It was just past 8 o’clock, but the street ahead was already full of people.

"See, I told you there would be a lot of people," Long Lei stuck her head out to look and then said to Dugu Qianye. She jumped down from the carriage, "We can’t take the carriage any further ahead, we’ll have to walk over."

Dugu Qianye and Long Lei walked forward, and Long Lei said to Dugu Qianye, "Before entering Empire College, you must first undergo the Phantom Power test. All these people in line are waiting for the test. However, we don’t need to queue up; the college specially set up a separate testing point for families and noble elites of the Royal Family. Brother Xiang and Brother Qi will be waiting for us there."

Dugu Qianye was momentarily taken aback, then regained her composure.

Am I going to see them?

Upon reaching the front, they indeed saw two testing locations. One line stretched around the corner of the street, while the other had very few people. Dugu Qianye could see Long Xiang and Long Qi waiting at the testing area from afar.

"Big brother Xiang, Big brother Qi." Long Lei waved at them and hurried over. Dugu Qianye followed as well.

"Big brother Xiang, this is the Baili brother I told you about. My Red Flame Fox was chosen by him!" Long Lei ran over, grabbed Long Xiang’s hand, and said crisply.

Long Xiang was startled when he saw Dugu Qianye, then smiled at her and said, "Baili Xie? You came to Pu City and didn’t come to find us, did you forget about us?!"

"Oh? You know each other?" asked Long Lei.

"Met once a year ago," Dugu Qianye smiled.

"You came here and didn’t even tell Jingtian, making us listen to his nagging every day," Long Xiang said.

"I was planning to look for you after I got into the college. I didn’t expect to bump into you here," Dugu Qianye said. While Long Lei and Long Qi were talking, she pulled Long Xiang aside, "I’m now called Baili Xie, don’t blow my cover, alright?"

Long Xiang glanced around, then said mischievously, "Two barbecued meats!"

"Deal," Dugu Qianye agreed immediately, making Long Xiang regret not asking for more.

The person responsible for registration was an old man with half-closed eyes, looking as if he hadn’t fully woken up yet.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, everyone in front of them had been tested, and just as Dugu Qianye was about to step forward, she was shoved aside by a group of servants. Luckily, Long Xiang was by her side and steadied her, preventing her from falling.

"Make way, make way!" A butler came from behind, clearing the people on both sides and then turned to the lady following him, "Miss, the way is clear, you can register now."

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl came forward, wearing a fiery red riding outfit and walked over arrogantly. She reached the registration table, glanced at a form, and tossed it to the butler, saying, "Fill it in."

The ones who were pushed aside wanted to argue, but after seeing who it was, they all retreated. The influence of the Feng Family was not something they could afford to provoke.

Long Lei was registering for the Elixir Department, so her test was different from Dugu Qianye’s. When she came back, she just saw Dugu Qianye being pushed. She ran over angrily, and upon seeing Feng Shuang, she said sarcastically, "Little Peacock, why are you cutting in line? Don’t you understand first come, first served?"

"Do I, Feng Shuang, need to line up to register? No one else has complained, what are you making a fuss about?" Feng Shuang held her head high with an air of arrogance. She glanced at Dugu Qianye and said, "Who is this country bumpkin? How come they’re registering here too?"

"This person was brought by the Long Family, do they need your approval?"

"What’s this noise? If you continue quarreling, I’ll have you all kicked out!" The old man in charge of registration was very irritable and glared at Dugu Qianye and the others.

It seemed the old man had great authority in the college; when he roared, no one dared to speak.

"Miss, it’s filled out," the butler approached and handed the form to Feng Shuang.

"Old man, here you go," Feng Shuang put the form on the table. The old man glanced at it and said indifferently, "14 years old, level 2 Phantom Master. Show me your Star Moon."
