Shen Ruyue said, "Qingzhi, let's go in."
Chu Qingzhi nodded and the four of them walked into the school.
As soon as they stepped into the school, they were stopped by the gatekeeper. "Are you students of the school?"
Chu Qingzhi sized up the gatekeeper. He was a young man in his mid-twenties. He was tall and had a righteous aura. "No, I brought my two younger brothers here to sign up."
The gatekeeper said in a businesslike manner, "The signing-up period for the school has passed. Come back half a year later."
Half a year later? Chu Qingzhi was naturally unwilling. "How long has it been since the sign-up period ended?"
The gatekeeper said, "It's been three days. The students have already begun their lesson."
Chu Qingzhi glanced at the disappointed brothers and asked the gatekeeper, "Can't you make an exception?"
