Chapter 70: A Bold Idea
Qiao Suisui closed her eyes in exhaustion and said: "I really don't have that intention."
Zongfang frowned as he looked at her, his expression uncertain. Although he had long known that she had lied to him time and time again, he still chose to believe her.
"Then what did you mean by staying to accompany me in the space just now?"
"Not wanting you to be alone, not wanting to watch you die, doesn't mean I want to mate with you."
Qiao Suisui pulled her hand away and walked slowly upstairs, having no energy to explain further.
She had been seeking a way to survive since coming to this world, but she also had her own persistence. Because it was a game world, she could forget her own values, but whenever she spent a long time with them, she would forget that the world she was in wasn't real. Because whether it was Zongfang, Luka, or Laiboli, they were flesh and blood, with emotions, thoughts, and ideas. Every moment was so real, so real that her heart would lose its guard if she wasn't careful.
If it weren't for Geerba Sanshi threatening Luka's future, Qiao Suisui wouldn't have agreed to mate with Lanze. Furthermore, once this matter was opened, she would fall into a situation where she needed to balance things constantly. Zongfang went without saying; he found it hard to tolerate other males. Although Laiboli didn't show it on the surface, Qiao Suisui had an intuition that Laiboli would never let her keep taking spouses. Luka, who was the most inclusive, was the most likely among them to accept this, but the thought of him being alone and heartbroken made Qiao Suisui unable to bear it.
Finally understood the troubles of an ancient emperor with three thousand concubines...
Qiao Suisui locked herself in the master bedroom and locked the door. During this time, Luka, Laiboli, and Zongfang all came, but no one could get in that night.
When she went downstairs the next day, she thought they would all go out to attend to their own business, but who knew the three men were sitting at the dining table, and when they saw her come down, they all focused their gazes on her.
Luka saw at the first glance that Qiao Suisui's eyes were slightly bloodshot, which showed she hadn't slept well last night. He placed the porridge in front of her and said gently: "Eat quickly."
Zongfang didn't say a word, sitting in the other corner furthest from her, his expression cold and severe; he was probably still angry about last night.
Laiboli was wearing court attire, and the guards had come to urge him three times, but he waved them away. At this moment, he accompanied Qiao Suisui for breakfast unhurriedly, returning to his usual smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "After eating, I'll take you around. Didn't you want to go to school? I arranged for the best school in Ausilan overnight."
Qiao Suisui held her spoon and looked up, somewhat surprised that he had actually relented. "Okay, I was just planning to go see the school today."
The reason she hadn't slept well was that she had been checking information on her light-brain all night, understanding the educational resources of the entire Federation. The most famous in Ausilan was the Diguo Junxiao, from which Luka had also graduated. This school wasn't easy to get into; it only accepted those with particularly high mental power, special talents, or descendants of great families. Students here were basically assigned to the Federation authorities and various systems after graduation, belonging to high-end talent, but there wasn't a single female there.
The neighboring Yatelandisi Academy was also very famous. Unlike the Diguo Junxiao, they had a specialized female academy, independent of the school district, with luxurious decoration. There, every female would be matched with one-on-one courses and group courses, such as flower arrangement, tea ceremony, fashion design, etc. These were all easy courses without any evaluation standards, and everyone from teaching assistants to professors provided encouraging, loving education. And they would hold grand birthday parties for every female, and give generous gifts during holidays.
She thought what Laiboli was talking about must be Yatelandisi Academy. This school was under the jurisdiction of Ausilan, but it was a bit far from the Imperial Court. It seemed Laiboli had made a great concession.
But this school didn't meet Qiao Suisui's goals.
What she wanted was a place where she could truly learn things and improve her strength. Obviously, Yatelandisi Academy was good, but it only taught some trivial things. Because their educational policy for females was free and happy growth. Qiao Suisui longed for that kind of life, but she had to choose a difficult path.
There was another one that was further away than these two, in the Central Star System of the Federation, which took a day to travel back and forth by flying ship, and that was the Interstellar Strategic Academy.
This school was one of the best in the entire interstellar space, strict in entry and exit, with no more than 1,000 students recruited each year. Each major had a prescribed quota and proportion. The professors here were all top experts from various fields, and every student had a very clear path planning for their abilities. There was once a male with the same mental power level as Qiao Suisui, C-rank, who was selected for admission due to his unique talent and gradually grew into a commander who could take charge on his own within five years, with his mental power level also rising from C to A.
Qiao Suisui was very moved by this school, but she was stuck at the first step: how to get admitted.
Like the Diguo Junxiao, the Interstellar Strategic Academy hadn't had a single female student for hundreds of years, but Qiao Suisui had checked, and there was no explicit rule saying it only accepted males. Moreover, their selection method was very unique, different every year, making it difficult to prepare specifically. For example, last year's topic was to let the students taking the exam swap roles on the spot and ask each other a question, with no limit on the topic or category, an open-ended Q&A. As a result, everyone felt like they hadn't taken the exam at all, with no idea how they did.
At this moment, she was eating porridge while worrying about how to bring up the matter of wanting to go to the Interstellar Strategic Academy. Luka quickly noticed that she had only eaten a little of her favorite shelled corn porridge after a long time.
"Does Sui Sui have any thoughts? After all, it's a place where you will stay for a long time in the future." Luka asked.
"I... I want to go to the Federation's..."
Before she could finish, Zongfang interrupted directly, saying: "Go to Sote, there is a specialized female art academy there."
He had already considered everything for Qiao Suisui. The art academy only had females, with few people and little mobility, making it easy to control. Plus, because they were all females, there was no need to worry about security issues, and she only needed to attend three or four classes a week, with other times being free. Most importantly, there was no need to live on campus, so he could keep Sui Sui by his side to take care of her.
Qiao Suisui gripped her spoon, her nails turning somewhat white from the force. She looked up and said slowly: "I want to go to the Interstellar Strategic Academy."
All three men were stunned.
Zongfang frowned at her and said: "That's not a place you can stay, and they don't accept females there."
"Why don't they accept them?"
Laiboli couldn't stand Zongfang's tone of denying her, glanced coldly at Zongfang, walked over and crouched beside Qiao Suisui, squeezed her palm, smiled and said: "It's my fault for not making it clear to you. Because females are delicate, they have always been unable to handle these things. Although females have the privilege of being exempt from the entrance exam, the appearance of a female in a place will cause chaos among males, so various schools have strict control over female enrollment. Plus, there were females who went to be transfer students for the novelty, but ended up leaving without lasting even a day. Over time, no female would choose such a school full of males, because it would cause trouble."
Hearing about the exemption from the entrance exam, Qiao Suisui's eyes lit up, and she had a bold idea. ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
