Chapter 67: Age is Never a Metric for Measuring a Genius!

After a moment of reflection, Luo Shuiyan finally reacted, looking at Jiang Che with a curious expression.

"Xiaobai, we've come so far away, how did you know?"

"Hmm? Do you want to know?"

Jiang Che raised his head, looking quite haughty.

"Good Xiaobai, just tell me, how on earth did you know?"

"We're at least two hundred meters away now; how can you still know what's happening at home upstairs from such a distance?"

Luo Shuiyan hugged Jiang Che very affectionately, the towering peaks of her chest almost making Jiang Che unable to catch his breath.

Although in front of others, Luo Shuiyan was always steady and calm.

But with Jiang Che, she could always let go of that haughtiness.

After all, even though she was an Empress in her past life, Jiang Che was her master now.

"Tsk tsk tsk, to tell you the truth, I actually know some Thousand-Mile Eye and Favorable-Wind Ear techniques."

"Let me take a look now, hmm... those old geezers just finished rummaging through our fridge and are now searching under the bed, oh, they've gone to search the wardrobe again..."

Hearing these words from Jiang Che, Luo Shuiyan's expression turned incredibly gloomy.

These shameless old things were actually rummaging through a girl's boudoir!

In her past life as an Empress, anyone wanting to enter her residence would be dreaming.

Thinking of those old fossils touching their clothes, Luo Shuiyan felt goosebumps all over and felt disgusted in her heart.

It seemed that when they went back tonight, many things would have to be thrown away and replaced with new ones.

"Forget it, let's ignore those guys for now and head to the academy first."

Although she felt some anger in her heart, Luo Shuiyan did not choose to go home at this moment to catch the thieves at the door.

After all, it is better to avoid trouble than to invite it.

Letting these guys finish rummaging once might even lower their vigilance toward them.

At the very least, she couldn't let others know that they had discovered someone had been there, otherwise, it might attract the attention of even more powerful people.

Not long after, the four of them arrived at Tianque Academy.

"Yo, look who this is? A rare guest in our class indeed."

For the first time in these days, Xue Bingning actually saw Luo Shuiyan entering the classroom normally.

She couldn't help but speak in a sarcastic tone, though she didn't actually have any issues with Luo Shuiyan.

On the contrary, among all the students in this class, Xue Bingning valued Luo Shuiyan the most.

Whether it was the first-place result she achieved on the leaderboard back then.

Or the fact that Luo Shuiyan was the first to enter the Treasure Land during this Secret Realm trial, all of it proved that Luo Shuiyan was definitely not as simple as she appeared to everyone.

"Uh, Instructor, actually, for the past while, I..."

"No need to say it, I know, you aren't feeling well, right?"

Xue Bingning spoke the excuse first, immediately causing the whole class to burst into laughter.

During the days Luo Shuiyan didn't come, Yi Zimeng and the others had used this excuse to fool Xue Bingning every few days...

Luo Shuiyan felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this was indeed her fault.

As a freshman, not attending a single class was indeed somewhat disrespectful to the teacher...

But that was only because Luo Shuiyan had the memories of her past life and didn't want to waste too much time.

Regarding the Instructors of this Tianque Academy, Luo Shuiyan actually trusted most of them.

Although the current Tianque Academy had already been infiltrated by many people from those noble families.

It could be said that the web of interests within the academy was extremely complex.

For example, the fact that Luo Shuiyan and the others were interrogated by Wang Lao and his group after coming out of the Secret Realm was the best proof.

However, the true powerhouses in this academy still attached great importance to the quality of education. The Beast-Taming Academy had a very special significance for a city.

The teaching Instructors specially appointed by the Beast-Taming Academy were all selected through layers of screening and were people without selfish motives.

The purpose was to better teach and cultivate more excellent Beast Tamers.

Luo Shuiyan still admired a serious and responsible teacher like Xue Bingning.

Coughing twice, Luo Shuiyan went straight to the point in front of Xue Bingning.

"Instructor Xue, I heard that the academy has already started preparing for the upcoming Hundred Schools League?"

"I heard that registration for the Selection Tournament has already opened..."

"That's right, the time for the Hundred Schools League is not far off now; preparing for the selection in advance will make things more secure."

"But why are you asking this? Don't tell me you..."

As an Instructor, Xue Bingning was naturally extremely intelligent and immediately understood the meaning behind Luo Shuiyan's words, her expression showing some surprise.

After all, Luo Shuiyan had only just joined Tianque Academy and was merely a freshman.

Although Luo Shuiyan joined Tianque Academy with a first-place ranking.

That was only compared to other freshmen; she still couldn't be compared to the senior students who had been enrolled for three or four years.

"Instructor, I want to sign up for the Individual Tournament and the Team Tournament."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the students in Ordinary Class Three were extremely shocked, and the room fell into silence for a moment.

"Did I hear wrong just now? Luo Shuiyan said she wants to sign up for the Hundred Schools League?"

"I thought she came to ask for leave, but I didn't expect it to be to sign up!"

Xue Bingning's lips parted slightly; although she had guessed it earlier.

But hearing Luo Shuiyan say it herself now, she still felt quite surprised.

"Luo Shuiyan, are you serious? You are only a freshman right now?!"

"You just enrolled and you want to participate in the Hundred Schools League? You aren't joking with me, are you?!"

"Teacher Xue, it seems our academy doesn't have a rule stating freshmen cannot participate in the Hundred Schools League."

These words from Luo Shuiyan made Xue Bingning pause in surprise.

The academy indeed had never issued such a regulation, but it had almost become an unspoken rule that everyone accepted.

After all, the gap in strength brought about by time is still very difficult to bridge.

"The academy indeed has no rule that freshmen cannot participate in the Hundred Schools League, but have you truly made your decision?"

Luo Shuiyan nodded indifferently upon hearing this.

"Teacher, in my view, age has never been a metric to measure a genius."

Not only Luo Shuiyan, but the three young women behind her, including Yi Zimeng, also nodded, their attitudes the same as Luo Shuiyan's.

Xue Bingning's expression gradually became serious as well.

In Luo Shuiyan, she seemed to see the shadow of a future top-tier powerhouse.

Perhaps this newcomer who constantly skipped class could create a miracle.

"Fine, since you have all prepared yourselves mentally, then I will register you."

Xue Bingning finally nodded; she also wanted to see how far Luo Shuiyan and her teammates could go.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

"Alright, don't be in such a rush to thank me."

"I must remind you of one thing: if you want to sign up for the Team Tournament, the captain's strength must be tested."

"In other words, Shui Yan, you must reach the level of an Advanced Beast Master."

Luo Shuiyan nodded upon hearing this, "Rest assured, Teacher, I have no problem with that."
