Chapter 119 : Chapter 119
Chapter : 119
Alice hummed and blinked her eyes, "The news that the academy has a new student admitted through recommendation has already spread. I happened to be paying more attention to this, so I inquired a bit more."
She was a bit shy, picking at her fingers, "Because the last student admitted through recommendation at Sigret was my big brother, um, that's why I pay attention to these things."
Big brother…
"Hmm? Are you talking about… that Lancelot?"
"Yes." Alice was actually a little surprised, "Didn't the teacher know? Big brother was also a student at Sigret Academy before. He was admitted through recommendation!"
Yan Yunqing rubbed his chin and calculated the time. The age of that deceased Grand Prince Lancelot indeed matched the news he had heard before that 'the last student who passed the recommendation entrance examination was thirty years ago.'
So it was Lancelot?
That brilliant Grand Prince, an invincible genius swordsman on the battlefield who died young due to the secret machinations of certain people.
Yan Yunqing had even seen a clip of Lancelot bravely slaying a demonic beast in the internal recording video of "Guitu"...
Huh, did he forget something else?
Before Yan Yunqing could figure it out, a voice had already called his name: "Xavier!"
Yan Yunqing turned around and found that it was Quinn. He was waving frantically at him.
Seeing Yan Yunqing look at him, he ran over quickly, "Why did you come and not go in? I thought Harold was causing trouble for you and you couldn't make it. I was just about to send someone to look for you!"
When he got closer, Quinn finally saw Alice behind Yan Yunqing.
Alice was not old, she was only 13 years old this year. In addition, she had not lived a good life in her childhood, so her height was not tall.
However, on her chest was a badge of a second-year student.
Quinn was stunned for a moment and immediately matched Alice's face with her name. After all, royal princesses were relatively rare in this academy, especially since Alice was a princess of one of the two great empires.
Regardless of whether Alice was favored or not, they were not people they could look down on.
Unless one had very powerful parents, otherwise, they had to be careful not to be accused by the empire of disrespecting their princess, which would be considered disrespecting the royal family, and thus face sanctions.
Such an incident had happened once before, but it happened to that Princess Elena of Romunik.
"This is…?"
Quinn looked at Alice, then at Xavier, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Yes, I ran into an old acquaintance and chatted for a few more sentences," Yan Yunqing said, "Am I late? I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time just now."
He then opened the system panel to check the time. He was indeed more than a minute late. He had accidentally forgotten the time while talking to Alice here just now.
"It's okay. We were mainly worried that Harold might have been causing trouble for you again. Now that we see he hasn't, it's fine." Quinn shook his head, "That guy Harold is too petty. If he has his eyes on you, you definitely won't get any good out of it."
Yan Yunqing smiled and didn't say anything, nor did he deny Quinn's goodwill. Although he really wasn't worried about what Harold would do to him, after all, his level was far beyond Harold's.
If he could still be successfully troubled like this, then Yan Yunqing might as well drop out of school.
Alice looked at Quinn, then at Yan Yunqing, and said with a smile, "Then, Tea… um, Brother Xavier, let's talk next time.
Your friend seems to have been waiting for you for a long time."
She took out her Te-xin and added Yan Yunqing as a Te-xin friend for future contact.
Yan Yunqing did not refuse and watched Alice leave. Quinn leaned over to his side and nudged Yan Yunqing's waist with his elbow.
After fighting together in a group brawl this morning, their relationship had surprisingly become much closer.
"What's your relationship with that little princess?" Quinn asked curiously, "Isn't she the little princess of Bartovita? I remember you're from Romunik, right? How did you two get to know each other?"
Yan Yunqing took the lead and walked towards 'Two Towers', explaining casually, "I met her before. I'm quite familiar with one of her elders, and I met her through that elder."
"Speaking of which, how did you know I'm from Romunik?"
Hearing Alice say that news of him had spread throughout the entire academy, Yan Yunqing was already a little prepared.
However, now that Quinn could also accurately state that 'Xavier' was from Romunik, Yan Yunqing still felt his scalp tingle a little.
After all, 'Xavier' was a real person. He had just taken on this identity to enter Sigret Academy, and the one who gave him the letter of recommendation was the Church of Light, a reserve villain.
To be honest, Yan Yunqing really didn't want to expose his identity. Exposing his identity would definitely attract the attention of the Church of Light.
Although in Sigret Academy, no one would dare to rush in and kill him, he just needed to be more careful when going out.
However, he didn't want to have to be careful every time he went out to see if there were people from the Church of Light trying to kill him.
There are only thieves who steal for a thousand days, how can there be a thousand days of guarding against thieves?
Yan Yunqing wanted to be that thief himself, and he would not give the people of the Church of Light the opportunity to become thieves.
So it was best if no one could recognize that this 'Xavier' was not that 'Xavier'.
Really, who on earth had spread the news of his recommended admission?
"Hmm? This?" Quinn tapped his face with his index finger, "I heard it. I don't know who spread it. I've only heard a small part, saying that you're the son of a noble from Romunik? I don't know the specifics. Do you need me to help you find out who spread it?"
"Sorry to trouble you." With someone offering to help, Yan Yunqing didn't refuse, "Actually, my family's title has already been revoked by the royal family."
A forlorn expression appeared on his face at the right time, "Ever since my father and mother died… sigh, I've applied several times to inherit my father's title, but the royal family always…"
"That's the last memento my father left me. I want to inherit that title back. I've thought of many ways. It was an old friend of my father, an uncle, who helped me get a letter of recommendation, letting me try my luck at Sigret Academy. If I could successfully enroll, maybe the royal family would agree to my request."
Yan Yunqing smiled bitterly, "I just didn't expect the recommendation entrance examination to be so difficult. Even though I completed the examination content, I almost died there… there was an accident. A level 100 demonic beast appeared in that place. Fortunately, I was lucky and met two teachers who were out. They saved me, and I was able to come back alive to submit the quest."
Listening to Yan Yunqing's story, a look of pity appeared on Quinn's face, "Ah, is it that difficult? Ah, my father did say that the recommendation entrance examination is very difficult, but for a level 100 demonic beast to appear! Isn't that too terrifying?!"
Hmm, there was something even more terrifying. It wasn't level 100, but a 150+ false god.
Yan Yunqing thought to himself.
"That should just be an accident. If all the content of the entrance examination was like this, then I'm afraid no one would be able to pass this examination."
Yan Yunqing still explained for the examination content, "Actually, that level 100 demonic beast happened to be the target of those two teachers. It was just that I was unlucky and ran into them while doing the examination, and that's how I got involved."
"Actually, I'm not someone who likes to be in the limelight." Yan Yunqing lowered his head, letting the shadow of his bangs cover half of his face, "My father has always taught me to be humble and polite. So these rumors are really a bit troublesome for me…"
Quinn nodded repeatedly, his eyes even a little red. He put his arm around Yan Yunqing's shoulder and patted it, "I understand, I understand. I will definitely help you find the person who is spreading rumors. This kind of person who spreads other people's private affairs is not a good person either! I'll help you beat him up then!"
Yan Yunqing: ?
Yan Yunqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he stopped the indignant Quinn, "Ah, that's not necessary. I'm already very grateful that you spoke up for me today. Don't always fight for me."
Huh? Why did that sentence sound a little strange?
Yan Yunqing coughed lightly twice to dispel the slight awkwardness in his heart.
He continued with his green tea words, "I just want to stop the rumor from spreading further. After all, that's what my father taught me…"
Hmm, his biological father did teach him that, but Yan Yunqing was naturally playful and always turned a deaf ear to these words when his father was alive.
It was only after his parents really passed away that he gradually changed his former personality of a chaotic great demon king.
Quinn nodded repeatedly and promised, "No problem! Just leave it to me!"
As he spoke, they had already walked to the designated spot.
The few people who were already sitting there waiting heard Quinn's words and couldn't help but be curious, "What are you guys talking about? What's entrusted to you?"
The red-haired boy, Terence, who had spoken to them in the morning, sized up Quinn. Seeing Quinn's silly look and then looking at Yan Yunqing's exceptionally beautiful face, he fell into silence.
Hmm… could this kid Quinn be having a spring awakening?
Yan Yunqing smiled, "Actually, just now I…"
"Aiya!" Quinn's voice interrupted Yan Yunqing's attempt to explain, "It's just a small matter, not important! I'm starving. Let's hurry up and order!"
"Speaking of which, are they serving cheese-baked shrimp today? Let's order a few more portions. I wanted to eat it last time I came but couldn't."
Interrupted by Quinn like this, the people who were originally curious about what they were talking about were immediately distracted by the topic of ordering food, "What, are they serving cheese-baked shrimp today? It's true, quick, quick, we can order a few more portions if we order now!"
"Let's have a few steaks too. I kind of want to eat Curly(rolled) Goat lamb chops. Order one for me!"
"And that berry sauce noodles too, it looks quite delicious?"
"My god, what kind of dark cuisine is this? Yuck, what's the difference between this and putting pineapple on pizza?!"
"Huh, you don't like adding pineapple to your pizza?"
"Only demonic beasts would like such a terrifying thing!"
…
Terence kept his eyes on Quinn and found that the roots of his ears had inexplicably turned red. He blinked.
He lowered his head slightly and saw that Xavier's arm and Quinn's arm were touching, and they were discussing what dessert to order with their other friend.
The newcomer Xavier's eyelids were slightly lowered, concentrating on the menu, while that kid Quinn was staring blankly at his side profile, as if he wanted to see a flower bloom on the newcomer's face.
Terence: …
Terence was silent.
Terence was greatly alarmed: You kid, have you fallen in love?
