"Jiejie, are you sure we should be going here?"
"We'll be fine Xiao Wei, Besides, haven't you already reached level 32? Even if we get into trouble it won't be too much of a big deal," I said throwing my arms to the side with a smug expression.
"Jiejie...you really worry me sometimes..." He sighed, "Come on give me some credit Xiao Wei! I'm not someone who'll just beat up anyone who gets in the way! Buahaha! You've got it all wrong!" I exclaimed happily as I bumped into someone quite interesting.
"Wack!" I shouted as I bumped into someone who smelled like sweet strawberries and marshmallows, Fortunately, Xiao Wei caught me, "Jie...Are you alright?!" He questioned in worry, I nodded with a brave smile, but unfortunately, I scraped my knee badly.
I looked up to find a beautiful face, a girl with pink pastel hair and ablazed orange eyes, her eyes were sharp yet her long eyelashes made her seem a bit snobby. "Oh! I'm so sorry darling! I wasn't looking where I was going!" She said with a sweet yet apologetic voice, I couldn't help but stare in awe. Xiao Wei looked down at his sister and growled at the pastel girl in jealousy and rage.
"Xiao Wei...I think I've fallen in love..." I said in a daze as the girl's hand was still extended, I took it and she helped me up as I looked at her with a glint in my eyes. I just couldn't believe such beautiful hair color exists?! How does she do it?! I think I've fallen in love with her beautiful hair!!!
Jiejie...don't tell me she's interested in...women?! He whined, As he sulked in the corner and kept growling at the girl they just met near the school they were wanting to apply to since it was the school her Master, (Li Jingyi) had recommended. Well actually, more like forced into their documents and made them students there. It was far from being a mere suggestion.
"NAINAI!!! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!!!" I shouted as I finally locked eyes with the girl before me, even when everyone was chattering away at the line near the school, I couldn't but keep sighing.
"Jiejie, Don't you think that's enough staring? You make people uncomfortable with your gaze!" Xiao Wei pouted, she should only be looking at me like that! it's not fair! Jiejie is being unfair! He kept pouting and growling, "Hm? Who is this cutie next to you?" She asked me, I turned to Zhang Wei that was busy growling at the pastel colored girl.
Oh my!~ He's so..! She blushed and smiled gleefully as she walked over and stretched his cheeks, "GRAWRRR HUAT ARE CHU DOININ?! (What are you doing)"
"You're so cute!"
"LET ME GO!!!" He fought back as he called out to me, "JIEJIE!!"
Right. He's my didi, not just anyone can touch him! I walked over and held the girl's arm tightening my grip on her wrist like a vine, She looked at me in surprise and smiled. "You two seem close,"
"Yes I am--"
"I am her Didi!" He growled, I blinked in disbelief since I had expected a different response but I smiled and nodded, "Are you also here to take the entrance exam?" I asked her, She nodded, "I've heard this school creates prodigies, but..." She bit her lip in frustration, "I didn't think it would look so...poor?" She said trying to use a better word, and to be honest, I agree with her.
Master only told me to take the test and to not enter any other school, but never told me why. There must be a reason for this, it might have something to do with what this girl said. I pondered as I kept moving in line hearing into the conversation from those in front of me.
"Hm...He's not qualified enough."
"Then shouldn't we be getting a refund?!"
"Miss, No one said to put in the money first, take it as a donation," The handsome man smiled, the mother blushed and nodded taking her leave along with her unqualified child.
"Oh, Hello young lady, put it in the box," He beamed, I couldn't help but cringe, this guy...so he really...how shameless. I sighed and placed my hand in front of him as he checked my pulse, His eyes widened in shock, "Miss, you! Why are you so far away from home?"
Huh?
"You..!"
Then a woman with white-blonde hair and lavender eyes walked in, her sharp and yet elegant gaze fell on the Professor in front of her, "Your Majes-"
IF YOU SAY ANYTHING, I WON'T HESITATE TO SLIT YOUR THROAT. She said swiping her thumb across her throat, I didn't notice the Professor's nervous state and Ignored it.
"Yes, yes, this way," He smiled nervously, I took a closer look at him and he had nice tan skin and honey drip eyes, with gold blonde hair. As he smiled leading us to the way, Master seemed to dislike him, hm...this is the first time I've seen Master look at a man with so much rage, did something happen between them? they might even already know each other...earlier, that guy was about to say something but was cut off. Could it have been Master? I'll look into it more later. For now, I have to get adjusted to the school along with my other classmates, let's play it safe.
"Xiao Yan, this is going to be your new school! Be prepared to bomb your brain cells!" she waved her arms happily as I passed by her ignoring her playful remarks.
"Huh? Then I'd rather not learn anything," I shrugged off, she stood there still flapping her arms like a dysfunctional bird, Hmph. Master just wants to destroy my brilliant and treasure-filled brain. "Pfft..!"
"Jiejie?"
"Don't worry Xiao Wei, it's just your Jiejie laughing at internal jokes," I chuckled, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel frustrated at those internal jokes of yours, I want to hear them too. Jiejie has a nice sense of humor. He looked up with a flushed face, chasing after her again.
"Jiejie!" He caught up, happy laughter and joy spread on that day through the people's hearts and atmosphere that soon became light and bright. That's good. They'll have tough training starting tomorrow, so it's best if they're like that... Jingyi thought as she stared lovingly at her disciple and the puppy spirit master.
"Your Majesty, Care to explain?" The Young Professor from before asked, She smiled cunningly and looked at him in a pained expression, "She is at it again."
"What? Then shouldn't you be back at the palace?"
"The situation is a bit complicated, but for now, I've given rights to rule to the substitute Prince, he'll be in charge for the Empire in the meantime," She explained with a serious expression, "Well then, It seems I'll have more time to spend with the Empress," He teased as he took a strand of her hair and held it close to his face.
She looked at him in disgust, "I thought you liked having a harem of guys all over you?" He asked slyly, she twitched and turned away, "Tha-That! I just-- It was just something I came up with to take care of my disciple, I don't want her becoming arrogant because the Empress is teaching her,"
"You Mean the bloody-stained empress? The one that won a war against 3 nations all by herself?"
"Watch what you say, Alan," Jingyi glowered, as the children played and got to know each other, "Hmph...the same as always, Li Jingyi, anyway, there are some seniors that have come to greet the little ones,"
"Oh?"
"Hm? And who are you guys?" The Pastel girl queried, "We're your upperclassmen, I am Fei Xian, I will be showing you around the campus," She beamed with an astute and calm personality, A girl with viridescent eyes and black soot hair like coal waved at us to follow.
"I am Li Hua, I hope we can get along!"
