Mo Tianxing looked carefully at the little girl. Her clothes seemed patched in some places and worn out, it was easy to see that she was a peasant with nothing special about her. Yet, she possessed duel element veins.
Mo Tianxing knew that Spirit Veins were elusive and rare. They appeared on people with special Temperaments, aura's or souls. So this little girl had to have something a little special and different about her. Despite all that, compared to the really strong powers in the Upper Tier Empires she was only a little more talented ant.
Nodding in Satisfaction, Mo Tianxing once again said " Good ". Smiling, little Hao Hao hurried off the stage towards her mother. Sun Jiali excitedly hugged and kissed Hao Hao all over. Shu Xiu Lan chuckled and congratulated Sun Jiali, happy for her good fortune.
Nearby the Father and Son duo looked irritated and annoyed when the little girl received the spotlight.
Snorting, the little boy turned away in disdain.
Continuing on expectantly, Mo Tianxing called out," Next; Zhang Min!"
A few more people were called with only 3 more people with an Earth, Wind and Light-type Spirit Vein was found when finally the little buns name was called.
" Next; Shu Xiao Mei!"
" Go on Little Bun," Xiu Lan said smiling encouragingly. Xiao Mei nodded in determination and walked forward.
Xiao Mei walked up to the mirror and placed her tiny hands on it. Shu Xiu Lan held her breath and waited.
Seconds passed with no reaction from the mirror. Shu Xiu Lan looked on slightly anxious. She clenched her fists, she was worried that the mirror might not react and Little Bun may not be accepted into the Academy.
She didn't care whether Little Bun got in or not because she would be happy to have Xiao Mei to herself again and she could always enroll in another school but Xiao Mei was looking forward to going to this school and making friends. She had also just made friends with Hao Hao who had gotten in already. She didn't want her to miss this opportunity.
Mo Tianxing was briefly startled. This little girl was the one the Principal landed on. He looked carefully at the kid, she wore peasant clothes but was still neat and tidy. Her hair was in 2 buns at the sides her head and she was quite adorable but he couldn't find anything unique about her.
' Did the principal see something I can't see?' he furrowed his eyebrows confused.
He was expecting something special from her because she received the principal's favor but looking at it now, it seemed he was expecting too much.
Time flew till the very last few seconds, and when Mo Tianxing was finally about to call another person up, the mirror burst forth in color.
A ray of White, a ray of Brown, 1 ray of Red, and another ray of light Blue shined brightly in harmony as if sentient.
Mo Tianxing trembled in shock!
The crowd burst out in loudly in astonishment.
The Father-son Duo who was looking down their nose at the others, their jaws hung low.
The Seniors and Teachers who were hidden in the shadows fell off their seats.
The Principal who was drinking tea in a corner glanced over without an ounce of surprise and continued to drink his tea, occasionally glancing curiously at the beautiful fairy-like lady that was beside the child earlier.
Everyone was Astounded!
That was 4 colors! That wasn't even the most shocking thing!
2 of those colors were Sub Elements; Brown and light Blue! The rarest Element category!
Shu Xiu Lan was completely surprised. She was afraid that her Little Bun would not have any Spirit Vein but now she was totally Dazed. She snapped out seconds later after feeling an intense stare in her direction. She looked around alertly but couldn't tell where it was coming from. Thinking that she was imagining it she threw it to the back of her mind she turned her attention back on Xiao Mei but remained on guard.
In a secluded corner----
" Hmmm, she noticed me? How interesting" A certain Principal lifted a delicate but sharp eyebrow in humor. Tapping a single finger against the table, The Principal sat silently before softly calling out.
" Yī "
" Yes, my Lord " A shadow appeared out of nowhere and answered.
" Investigate that Mother and Daughter pair for me, " The Principal said calmly while still tapping his finger against the table.
" As you wish, my Lord!" The shadow said solemnly, then disappeared into thin air.
The Principal went back to sipping tea in a gentle manner.

**Back at the stage**
Everyone stared unbelievingly at Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei seeing the colorful lights only had one thought; she passed! She was so happy. She ran off the stage up to her mom and excitedly shouted, " Mama, I pass! I passed! I get to stay and go to school with big sister Hao Hao." she laughed happily, her eyes forming little crescent moons.
Xiu Lan only smiled and patted her head lovingly.
" Yes, my Little Bun you passed. Now you can make lots of friends."
" En!" she happily nodded her head.
Coming back to His senses after feeling a certain Principals warning glare, he calmed the appeased crowd to continue with the assessment. However, everyone was flustered and ran around like they drank chicken blood as they tried to get closer to Xiu Lan and Xiao Mei.
You need to know that cultivators that have sub-element spiritual veins have never appeared in Yuan Fu kingdom before! It is destined that cultivators of that caliber if they don't die, will hold authority even higher than the king!
Anyone who isn't willing to build a closer relationship with this child is a fool!
Hence almost everyone was vying to get close with the Mother-Daughter duo.
" Haha, this young miss, please accept my honorable intention and allow me to invite you and your family to dinner tonight as a congratulation gift" a middle-aged man with a huge belly proposed.
" Step aside Old Qin!" A man said as he pushed the big-bellied man away.
"Ms. Shu is it? I would like to introduce you to my son, Zhang Min. He possesses Earth Spirit Veins. I think he'll be a fine match for your daughter."
" Tch, Old Zhang, you're shameless! Just one Spirit Vein and you think he can match up to this genius!? Ah, Ms. Shu, don't mind him, haha. My son, Bo Fan possesses Duel Spirit-Veins. If anyone's a match it's him. Hahaha." Laughed Bo Ming.
Everyone hounded Xiu Lan uncaring of her reactions, to them she was just a peasant woman with no authority.
Meanwhile, Shu Xiu Lan's face wasn't looking too good.
' Hah!? These clowns really think I'm a wallflower!? '
Putting Xiao Mei behind her, Xiu Lan questioned.
" You want to marry my Little Bun? In your dreams!"
As she spoke a little bit of murderous energy seeped out of her body. Everyone around her felt chills and backed away immediately. They didn't know why but they felt that if they didn't move away they'd die in the next second.
' How can a mere peasant give me such a feeling' they all collectively thought, confused.
The mob all thought that she would be happy and hand off her daughter on a silver platter but what they thought was far from reality.
As she looked at them with cold eyes and unshielded rage, they had a feeling that....she wasn't simple.
