"Don't reveal your Spirit Ring configuration unless absolutely necessary, and don't go to the Spirit Hall to have your Spirit Power level assessed."
"I called you here just to give you a heads-up, so you can prepare yourself mentally."
Chen Qingling was touched. "Thank you for the reminder, Director Su. I understand."
There are still many good people in the world!
"Go back now. Remember not to tell anyone about today's events."
"Okay..." Chen Qingling turned and left the Academic Affairs Office.
Watching Chen Qingling's departing figure, Director Su sighed softly. He truly didn't want a genius to fall.
A genius from Notting Academy.
"Sigh!"
"I've done all I can... After you graduate, you're on your own."
Director Su had done all he could. There was nothing more he could do.
He was just a minor official at the academy, no match for the behemoth that was Spirit Hall.
On the other side.
Chen Qingling walked out of the academic affairs office, her mood heavy as she headed towards the work-study student dormitory.
She never expected Spirit Hall to be so petty, to resort to underhanded tactics against her simply because of her exceptional talent!
Chen Qingling had always thought Spirit Hall was pretty good.
They gave commoners a chance to awaken their spirits and provided subsidies to qualified Spirit Masters.
It was definitely a good faction!
It was only now, knowing the dark side of Spirit Hall, that Chen Qingling realized that beneath the surface of its splendor lay ugliness and filth.
Xiao Wu beckoned to Qingling, signaling her to come over quickly.
"Qingling, come on over quickly, I've already warmed up the bed."
Looking at Xiao Wu's smiling face instantly cleared away the gloom in Qingling's heart, and her mood immediately improved.
Chen Qingling burrowed into the warm, cozy bed, inhaling the faint fragrance that belonged solely to Xiao Wu.
"Sister Qingling, what were you called for?" Xiao Wu whispered from under the covers.
"This…" Thinking of what Director Su had said, Chen Qingling hesitated.
Should she say it?
If she did, wouldn't that be ignoring Director Su's words?
If she didn't, wouldn't she hurt Xiao Wu's feelings?
For a moment, Chen Qingling couldn't decide.
Seeing that Chen Qingling wasn't speaking, Xiao Wu roughly guessed what was going on.
"It's okay if you can't say it. After all, everyone has their own secrets, right?"
"Xiao Wu…" Chen Qingling gritted her teeth, thinking about how close she was to Xiao Wu, and coupled with Xiao Wu's deep hatred for the Spirit Hall, how could she reveal anything?
Thinking of this, Chen Qingling told Xiao Wu the whole story.
Learning what happened, Xiao Wu's expression turned angry, and she clenched her small fists.
"Too hateful!"
"It's really too hateful!"
"Spirit Hall is truly despicable!"
"Bearing the hatred of killing my mother, and now they even want to harm Sister Qingling!"
"Spirit Hall is unforgivable!"
The Teaching Affairs Office.
Su Yuntao arrived, drawn by the scent, and sat with his legs crossed, a detached expression on his face.
Ever since Chen Qingling, the genius, had appeared, his status had risen again and again. He had even become a Yellow-Clad Enforcer and was being considered for the position of Vice Hall Master.
"Director Su, Chen Qingling should be back, right?"
Director Su smiled and nodded. "Yes, Enforcer."
"Then you know what needs to be done next, right?"
"This... Enforcer, we can't interfere in such matters. We can only see if she's willing to reveal anything," Director Su said with a bitter smile.
"There's no need for her willingness. We just need your academy's cooperation. Have your teachers arrange for her to go to Spirit Hall to assess her strength."
"This..."
This was a completely overt conspiracy!
Director Su didn't dare to think about whether Chen Qingling would be detained by Spirit Hall after she went to assess her strength.
Is it really necessary to go to such lengths for a genius? They're even throwing away their reputation!
They're only fooling those who are inexperienced, but people like them are well aware of the Spirit Hall's ulterior motives.
Fortunately, he had already informed Chen Qingling in advance, or she might have been deceived!
"Director Su, I'll be waiting for your good news at the Spirit Hall."
With that, Su Yuntao left without looking back.
"Sigh..." Director Su's expression was troubled. Looking at Su Yuntao's receding figure, a figure flashed through his mind.
It was the image of Su Yuntao as a child...
Back then, Su Yuntao had also graduated from Notting Academy.
Such a good person, how did he end up like this?
Power and status can truly change a person, making them addicted and unable to escape.
"Power, status… are they really that important?"
Director Su looked dejected, no longer possessing his usual vigor.
He watched the student he had once taught now turn against the students of their alma mater.
It was hard to describe how he felt.
"Heh… I always thought my education was successful."
"But now, it seems my education wasn't successful at all, it was a complete failure." Director Su chuckled wryly, his face etched with the passage of time.
Wanting to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and drink wine, but in the end, it's not like being young.
The next morning, it was the first day of school again, and everyone in the dorm reported to their respective grades.
"Each of you needs to go to Spirit Hall to test your Spirit Power level and see if you've improved over the break."
The teacher's gaze lingered on Chen Qingling, subtly hinting at her with a wink, as if to say, "Don't you dare go."
Chen Qingling nodded thoughtfully. She didn't understand why the teacher was winking, but she remembered Director Su's words from yesterday.
Don't go to Spirit Hall to assess your strength!
"Alright, the rest of the time is yours to do as you please."
After the teacher left, the other students in the class approached Chen Qingling.
"Senior Chen Qingling, do you want to go to Spirit Hall to assess your Spirit Power with us?"
"Yeah, let's go together, it'll be more fun."
Facing their kindness, Chen Qingling gave a dry laugh, "No thanks, you guys go ahead."
"Alright, then we'll go ourselves."
Soon, only Chen Qingling was left in the class, gazing at the beautiful scenery outside the window.
After a moment, a beautiful figure rushed in from outside the door. It was her good friend, Xiao Wu, panting heavily.
"Huff... huff..."
"Qingling, isn't the teacher asking us to go to Spirit Hall to test our strength? We can't go!"
Upon hearing that they were to go to Spirit Hall to test their strength, Xiao Wu hurried over, fearing that Qingling would be too naive and believe the teacher's words.
No matter the situation, Xiao Wu was always the first to care about her safety.
Chen Qingling felt a warmth in her heart and nodded, "Don't worry, Xiao Wu, I'm not the same fool I used to be. I won't do anything that harms myself."
"That's good, that's good!"
"I seriously suspect that Director Su had you go to the Academic Affairs Office yesterday to make things clear in advance."
"So that the teachers could announce it today, which would prevent Spirit Hall from finding fault." Xiao Wu analyzed logically.
