Chapter 33.1 - Leaving School

The school semester didn’t last long and it quickly ended. When the end was near, the teacher declared to the students below: “Be prepared. You will be examined in the next semester, and if you don’t have the qualifications…” the teacher paused, and then watched at the students with a smiling face: “I believe you will be qualified.”

The teacher didn’t explain about the examination any further and walked away directly. So the students didn’t know what was the content of the test and what they had to do. But, according to the school’s odd style, they appraised that it wouldn’t be easy.

Lin Xiao thought, will it be a competition? He shared his speculation with Ji Quan standing beside him, but Ji Quan shook his head, “It shouldn’t be an elimination through competition.” The match would be a little too light. And Yunqi Academy wouldn’t let them pass easily…

Lin Xiao just shrugged his shoulders, and stopped guessing what the test will be. And even if he did, he still had to depend on his strength.

“Before the next semester begins, will you stay at school to train or return home?” Lin Xiao asked Ji Quan.

Ji Quan was dumbfounded: “I should go back home. Even though the vacation is not long, staying in the family for a few days is enough. Furthermore, if I don’t, my family will get worried…” And then, he chuckled at Lin Xiao.

His laugh was very soft and gentle, making Lin Xiao feel closer to him. Lin Xiao observed his simple robe and then stared at his eyes, trying to think. The plot didn’t mention the existence of a Ji Quan, but he shouldn’t be that simple. During his lives, he has met many kinds of people, but the world was too big. The bigger the world was, the more dangerous and unknown people were there. He was still young and there were still many things he had to experience.

Ji Xuan was holding her own fingers. Hearing someone call her, she discovered Ji Quan’s presence and shot a glance at Lin Xiao. After being in contact with each other for an entire semester, her behavior towards Lin Xiao has changed a lot. From being on guard, she was now ignoring him.

After the school semester ended, everyone had to collect their own stuff in the dorm. Who wanted to return home, returned home, and who wanted to stay in the school, they kept on cultivating.

After Lin Xiao reached the dorm, he saw that Ling Luo was sitting on his bed while holding a letter in his hands. He was absent-minded, his face at a loss… and he even looked frail…

Beside the time when his mother almost died, this was the first time Lin Xiao saw him that frail. Most of the time, he wore an unperturbed face. However, Ling Luo’s current expression made Lin Xiao feel strange, but he couldn’t describe this feeling.

Lin Xiao knew that this letter was related to his parents, because Ling Luo wouldn’t put anyone else in his heart except for them. After a long time of silence, Ling Luo’s expression didn’t change. When Lin Xiao was about to ask what was the matter, Ling Luo opened the letter stiffly, moved it closer to his eyes and read the words carefully.

His confused gaze became uncertain, while his brows slowly knitted. Unable to endure, and since he couldn’t remember this part of the story, Lin Xiao finally walked before Ling Luo, “Ling Luo, did something happen? And what happened?”
