Chapter 21: Meeting No More

"Rank 40, Zhao Jianxue!"

The mechanical voice rang out!

Under the gaze of everyone.

Zhao Jianxue bit her lip and stepped forward.

Among the 46 students, she was one of the few with Level 1 talent.

Because her theoretical score was really too high.

It was 49 points!

Although it was Level 1 talent, Flowing Fire.

But it was the top-tier 'Art'.

God-Given score, she got 29 points.

A total score of 78 points was very high.

So high, in fact.

That it exceeded quite a few students with Level 2 talent!

"Zhao Jianxue..."

At the brightest spot on the high ceremony platform.

Song Ling looked at the girl in the white dress, her expression complex.

Du Fang's smile was narrow, saying: "At the same God-Illumination Middle School, you were suppressed by her for several years, now you can finally hold your head high."

Song Ling sighed and said: "Her grades have always been good, even if it's Level 1 'Art', it has already exceeded the vast majority of people."

"But the few of us are all Level 3 talents!"

Du Fang's expression was proud, "From now on, we are no longer on the same path as these students."

He and Song Ling, one on the left and one on the right.

Stood beside Jiang Jian.

Forming a small circle of Level 3 talents.

From time to time.

Students would turn their heads and look over here.

Inside, it was full of envy and longing.

Even those proctor teachers, as well as the proctors from the God-Given university.

Didn't come over to disturb them.

"Student Zhao Jianxue, it's time to choose a school!"

The proctor teacher's tone was gentle, reminding her.

Zhao Jianxue raised her head, looking at Jiang Jian not far away, her mind dazed.

Just now.

She finally remembered.

Who this boy from the Shadow District, with a God-Given score of 50 points, really was.

Plus the feeling of familiarity when she heard Jiang Jian's name earlier.

"He is the one."

"The husband who signed a God-Witness Contract with me to marry after coming of age!"

Zhao Jianxue's mind was in chaos.

Suddenly thinking of.

What her grandfather said to her when she was ten.

"Jianxue, grandfather has decided to set a marriage for you."

The old man had gray hair and beard, stroking the girl's head, full of smiles.

The girl said crisply: "Grandfather, you weren't home a few days ago, was that what you went to do?"

The white-haired old man laughed: "Silly child, I did just come back from the Prayer Temple, just signing the God-Witness Contract cost ten thousand Alliance coins!"

"But I'm only ten years old!"

The girl raised her small face, "This is an arranged marriage!"

The white-haired old man stroked her hair, his expression complex, opening his mouth word by word.

"If my calculation is correct, this God-Witness Contract can at least ensure my Zhao family will not decline for a thousand years!"

His talent was famous in Guangling City.

It was Level 3 'Will'.

"Observing People and Gazing at Qi".

For nearly a hundred years, there had been very few mistakes.

Countless people, in order to ask Zhao Lao to gaze at Qi once.

Would spend heavy money and come from thousands of miles away.

Even in Anhezhou, and neighboring Luoying Prefecture, Zhao Lao's "Observing People and Gazing at Qi" talent was almost known to everyone.

"Grandfather..."

Zhao Jianxue shook her head vigorously, coming back to her senses from the memory.

Only then did she think of.

A communication she ignored a few days ago.

That was a message sent by the Prayer Temple.

She was busy preparing for the exam and just thought it was an ordinary advertisement, so she didn't pay attention.

"That message!"

Zhao Jianxue hurriedly opened her identity device and clicked on the trash folder.

The Prayer Temple's message lay there, emitting blue light.

"February 14, 3227."

"The Prayer Temple director has finished the spell!"

"Your God-Witness Contract has been successfully dissolved!"

"Attached is the original God-Witness Contract (expired)."

"Earth Alliance, Guangling City, No. 785639 God-Witness Contract."

"Contract type, marriage contract."

"Contract time, Earth Calendar 3210."

"Contract method, blood contract."

"Contractor, Earth citizen Jiang Jian, citizen number hidden."

"Contractor, Earth citizen Zhao Jianxue, citizen number hidden."

Seeing this.

Zhao Jianxue's face was as pale as paper.

She raised her head.

Looking again at the boy at the center of the high ceremony platform.

"So my husband looks so good..."

Zhao Jianxue bit her lip, her expression complex.

Grandfather was the person she respected the most.

She had never thought of resisting this marriage contract.

For seven years.

Zhao Jianxue had imagined many times.

What her future husband would look like.

She had also warned herself more than once.

No matter how ugly the other person was.

No matter how poor the other person's talent was.

She would listen to her grandfather and marry the other person.

"But."

"Why did this God-Witness Contract expire?"

Zhao Jianxue was somewhat dazed.

What Zhao Chenshuang and the Zhao family head did.

From beginning to end, they didn't tell her.

The Zhao family all thought that Zhao Jianxue was about to get into a God-Given university.

With a bright future.

And Jiang Jian from the Shadow District.

Was just dust in the mud.

This God-Witness Contract was set by the late Zhao Lao.

By now.

It had become a shackle for the second young lady of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family was even so arrogant.

That they didn't even understand Jiang Jian's theoretical grades.

But sent a negotiation expert directly.

No matter what, they had to dissolve this contract.

Because they believed that people from the Shadow District, no matter what, would not have too good a God-Given talent.

Whether the theoretical score was good or bad didn't matter at all.

Even with Zhao Lao's last wish, the current Zhao family head had never been convinced by his father.

"Even if we had investigated a little more back then, knowing Jiang Jian's theoretical scores were perfect every time."

"I wouldn't have let Chenshuang do this."

In the Zhao family hall, the Zhao family head sat alone in his chair, staring blankly at the giant screen.

In his heart, he was full of regret.

Even his expression was distorted!

"Father."

"I am unfilial."

"I shouldn't have disobeyed your words!"

The Zhao family head clenched his fists tightly, his expression extremely painful.

"If this Level 3 talent could become my Zhao family's husband, that would be great..."

Suddenly.

A flash of lightning crossed the Zhao family head's mind!

He seemed to have thought of something, sat up straight immediately, and ordered the person beside him.

"Pull up the recording of the Young Lady at the Correction Institute!"

"Yes!"

In the darkness, someone responded.

A few seconds later.

Above the hall, the giant screen split into two.

One half was broadcasting the scene of the Flying Light Terrace live.

The other half.

Was a replay of the conversation between Zhao Chenshuang and Jiang Jian!

On the screen.

Jiang Jian looked disheartened: "If you love her, give her freedom..."

"That's it! Pause!"

The Zhao family head stood up, his face full of ecstasy!

"The video clearly shows that he has feelings for Jianxue!"

Thinking of this.

The Zhao family head couldn't think too much, and dialed Zhao Jianxue's communication directly!

Flying Light Terrace.

On the high ceremony platform.

The proctor teacher was quite patient, still waiting for Zhao Jianxue to choose a school.

Choosing a God-Given university.

Was a big deal after all.

Many students would hesitate for a long time.

Beep!

Zhao Jianxue showed an apologetic expression and said: "Teacher, a communication from home."

The proctor teacher smiled: "Go ahead and answer it."

Zhao Jianxue nodded, turned on privacy mode, and answered the communication.

"Jianxue!"

The Zhao family head almost roared, "Go find Jiang Jian immediately!"

"He likes you!"

"He has feelings for you!"

"The future of the Zhao family is in your hands!"

"As long as you can persuade him to re-sign the contract."

"My Zhao family still has a chance to rise!"

Hearing this.

Zhao Jianxue's face turned cold, and she interrupted him directly.

"Father, that's enough."

The Zhao family head was stunned: "Jianxue, how are you talking to me?!"

Zhao Jianxue said coldly: "Dissolving the God-Witness Contract, that was something you and big sister did, right?"

In privacy mode.

The sound of the identity device's communication could only be heard by the binder.

"Was it the two of you, under the guise of doing it for my own good."

Zhao Jianxue's tone became colder.

"Before the Grand Exam, in the capacity of a direct guardian, you dissolved the God-Witness Contract for me?!"

"You disliked Jiang Jian for coming from the Shadow District."

"Worried that he wouldn't have a good God-Given talent."

"Actually disobeying grandfather's wishes, and doing this without my knowledge!"

"This was something grandfather set!"

"Father, I grew up with grandfather."

"I have already told you."

"Even if the other person is an ordinary person who cannot cultivate."

"Even if the other person is useless and ugly."

"I would still marry him!"

"But what did you do?!"

"Fine, you dissolved the God-Witness Contract in private, and that's that."

"But what are you doing now?!"

"You saw with your own eyes that Jiang Jian's God-Given talent is Level 3 'Art', about to soar into the sky!"

"So, now you've changed your mind and want me to find Jiang Jian!"

"Why?!"

"What do you take me for?!"

"A tool?"

"He and I haven't even met once, haven't even said a word to each other!"

"Regardless of whether he really likes me or not."

"I can't do such a snobbish thing!"

"This kind of snobbish face, if it appeared on me, Zhao Jianxue..."

"Just thinking about it makes me feel sick!"

Speaking to this point.

Without waiting for the Zhao family head to speak.

Zhao Jianxue reached out and hung up the communication directly.

In the Zhao family hall.

The Zhao family head looked at the identity device blankly, his fists clenched, unable to speak for a long time.

According to Alliance law.

Before an Earth citizen reaches the age of 18 and truly becomes an adult.

Direct guardians have the right to participate in the signing and dissolution of contracts for the ward.

Zhao Jianxue was only 17 years old.

Still subject to the constraints of her direct guardians.

Jiang Jian's situation, however, was different from hers.

Jiang Jian lived in the Public Care District.

Was a child from the Public Care Center.

From the age of 10, he possessed complete Earth citizen rights!

Flying Light Terrace, on the high ceremony platform.

Zhao Jianxue turned off the identity device and walked to the proctor teacher: "Teacher, sorry, I delayed too long."

The proctor teacher looked at the girl in front of him and smiled: "Not long, not long."

Zhao Jianxue, the prodigy girl of God-Illumination Middle School.

Before the God-Given Grand Exam.

She was even the No. 1 in the God-Illumination District.

Good-looking and with a good personality.

Extremely well-liked.

In the eyes of many teachers, Zhao Jianxue was almost certain to get into a God-Given university.

Although now.

She only had Level 1 talent.

However, she still barely passed the line with a score of 78 points.

"I choose..."

Zhao Jianxue looked at the phantoms of the three buildings, her gaze landing on Luoying Academy.

Her words had not yet finished.

"No need to choose!"

A domineering voice spread across the Flying Light Terrace!

A giant shadow covered them.

All the students, proctor teachers, and proctor personnel raised their heads to look.
