Chapter 4: A Fallen Genius? How Could the Sparrow Know the Ambition of the Swan!

Luo Shuiyan directly interrupted Lin Xue'er's words, her tone extremely firm.

"That's right, we'll just buy him... wait a minute?! What did you just say?!"

Lin Xue'er, who was still trying to console Luo Shuiyan, exclaimed in shock.

Just a moment ago, she had thought Luo Shuiyan had given up; she never expected that she actually wanted to buy the Spirit Beast outright.

Lin Xue'er reached out and placed her hand on Luo Shuiyan's forehead.

"You don't have a fever. Shui Yan, why have you started talking nonsense today?"

Lin Xue'er felt as if her brain couldn't keep up.

Could this be the world of geniuses?

It is often said that the world of geniuses is hard for ordinary people to fathom.

But this is just too far beyond the pale, isn't it?! Lin Xue'er hurriedly squatted down and looked Jiang Che up and down.

She couldn't understand what kind of charm this seemingly very cute Spirit Beast could possibly have.

However, the only response Lin Xue'er received was a big eye-roll from Jiang Che.

What are you looking at?

You flat-chested woman!

He then turned around and pointed his rear end at Lin Xue'er.

After a while, Luo Shuiyan's teacher, Lin Feng, walked over toward them.

"How is it? Has everyone successfully formed a contract now?"

As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at Luo Shuiyan with an expectant expression.

As someone with Golden-grade talent, Luo Shuiyan could be considered the most outstanding genius in the class.

Lin Feng was full of expectations for her.

"Shui Yan, what grade of Spirit Beast did you contract?"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, some of the surrounding students also looked toward Luo Shuiyan.

After all, a Golden-grade talent is a star within the academy.

Not to mention that Luo Shuiyan herself is at the level of a school beauty in both appearance and figure.

It would be difficult not to attract attention.

Everyone had been busy contracting Spirit Beasts just now, which is why they hadn't paid attention to Luo Shuiyan.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Luo Shuiyan spoke with a calm expression.

"Teacher, I failed to contract a Spirit Beast."

"It's fine, that's a very normal thing..."

"Wait a second, what did you just say?"

Lin Feng froze in place, his face full of astonishment; he simply couldn't believe what he had just heard.

If anyone else had failed their contract, it would be normal.

But this is Luo Shuiyan; what the hell is normal about that?! For a moment, Lin Feng's brain went blank.

Before coming here, he had already considered that some might fail, but he had never once thought that Luo Shuiyan would be among those who failed.

Golden-grade talent has an innate attraction to Spirit Beasts with low-grade bloodlines; generally, situations where a contract fails do not occur.

Under Lin Feng's questioning.

Luo Shuiyan recounted everything that had just happened.

After listening to Luo Shuiyan's words, Lin Feng felt his brain buzzing.

It would be one thing for a Golden-grade genius to fail at contracting a Spirit Beast, but to fail at contracting a Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast? Lin Feng shook his head; he even suspected he was suffering from auditory hallucinations.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed his emotions.

To be able to make a Golden-grade talent fail a contract... could this Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast have a profound background? Thinking this, Lin Feng looked toward the cage in Luo Shuiyan's hand.

"..."

Lin Feng had a face full of black lines at this moment.

Looking at that adorable purple Spirit Beast, he truly couldn't think of anything extraordinary about it.

Lin Feng even refused to give up and observed Jiang Che carefully once more.

Finally, after checking repeatedly, he discovered that it really was just an ordinary Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast...

"Shui, Shui Yan... can you tell Teacher why you chose this Spirit Beast?"

"Because he is cute." Luo Shuiyan's answer was very concise.

Lin Feng: "..."

Hearing this from Luo Shuiyan, Lin Feng's hanging heart finally died, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this expression on Lin Feng, Luo Shuiyan didn't care at all; all of this was within her expectations.

If an ordinary academy teacher could see through a hidden Mythical-level Bloodline Spirit Beast, then she might as well quit.

"Teacher, I want to buy this Spirit Beast and take it home."

Acting in his capacity as a teacher, Lin Feng hurriedly tried to persuade her.

"Shui Yan, you aren't choosing a pet right now; you can't just look at the exterior."

"Shui Yan, listen to Teacher; we are choosing Spirit Beasts right now, and this Spirit Beast is closely related to your future cultivation."

"If a Beast Tamer with Golden-grade talent contracts a Black Iron-grade monster, it is equivalent to wasting their own talent in vain."

"And if a Beast Tamer with Bronze-grade talent happens to contract a Spirit Beast with a high-level bloodline, their future cultivation speed might even be faster than a Golden-grade Beast Tamer!"

Lin Feng frowned and spoke earnestly.

As the most outstanding genius in the class, Luo Shuiyan really did not want to let Luo Shuiyan waste her talent in vain.

However, Luo Shuiyan did not care at all about these words from Lin Feng.

"Teacher, I understand everything you said, but I have set my heart on this Spirit Beast."

Luo Shuiyan's tone was extremely firm.

Looking into Luo Shuiyan's eyes, Lin Feng felt a trace of palpitation for some reason! That extremely firm gaze was full of unquestionable resolve.

It was as if the person standing before him at this moment was a powerful superior.

Seeing that he could not persuade Luo Shuiyan, Lin Feng could only sigh helplessly.

"As a teacher, I have already done what I could."

"Since you are bent on having your own way, there is nothing I can do; I only hope you will conduct yourself well and not regret the decision you made today in the future."

Having said that, Lin Feng turned and left with a gloomy expression.

Contracting a Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast, a Golden-grade genius, she was not even as good as an ordinary Beast Tamer.

Lin Feng had originally held high expectations for Luo Shuiyan.

But now, in his view, Luo Shuiyan no longer had anything to do with a bright future.

The academy students gathered around had all learned the news that Luo Shuiyan had actually failed to contract a Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast.

Their expressions were one by one mocking, sneering, or astonished.

"Is this the owner of a Golden-grade talent? She actually failed to contract a Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast; it's truly laughable!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, in my opinion, there was an accident when her talent was measured before; this person is probably a complete waste!"

"What? She actually chose a Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast; her brain must have been kicked by a donkey, it's utterly ridiculous!"

"Hehe, even if she really is a genius, she will only be a laughingstock and a good-for-nothing in the future!"

The mocking voices rose and fell all around, yet Luo Shuiyan did not care at all.

As the Empress in her past life, she had long since turned a blind eye to such gossip.

Looking at the mocking faces of the people around her, Luo Shuiyan only gave a cold laugh.

How can a swallow know the ambition of a swan!

Ignoring the sneers and cold looks of others, Luo Shuiyan carried Jiang Che's cage to the boss.

The price of a Spirit Beast is related to its bloodline talent.

For the lowest-level existence like a Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast, the price is not expensive.

Luo Shuiyan has outstanding talent and has received quite a few scholarships at school over the years, so it was enough to buy a Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast.

And Jiang Che, who was packed in the cage, sat up straight at this moment.

Watching everything happening around him, he was completely stunned.

"No way? What is this situation?"

"I just woke up and got sold like this?!"
