Chapter 561 153: Battle Angel
Luo Xue couldn't describe her feelings. It was just very unique and captivating, and it seemed it would attract someone as remarkable as the Princess.Nalan Porter was indeed flawless, yet when placed alongside Li Xin, somehow, Nalan seemed like a delicate vase—beautiful, but always missing something.
"Luo Xue, the time is almost up. See if the people from the Quiet Order have arrived," Ji Mingyue said with a slight smile.
"Yes, President," Luo Xue left the crowd.
Li Xin returned today, and Lu Shuai had already mentioned it; Lu Shuai was also coming today. He had high expectations for today, yet Luo Xue dared not be overly optimistic. Before coming to the Dragon Capital, she thought she was doing well, even if she faced setbacks in competitions. But after arriving in the Dragon Capital, she realized how many geniuses there are in this world.
Back then, her ability to exit the Secret Castle was entirely due to luck—no, it was because of Li Xin.
A carriage was racing towards the Divine Revelation Canon Law School. Inside, Li Xin, Bai Peng, Lu Shuai, Zhuo Yan, Sulte, and Huerta were squeezed together, yet there was still space reserved for Zhuo Yan. The carriage shook intermittently from the bumpy ride.
If not for the importance of the monthly exam, Zhuo Yan would have surely exploded right then and there. At such a critical time, Lu Shuai was late.
The carriage arrived at the entrance of the Divine Revelation Canon Law School, and the two steed horses pulling it were exhausted, breathing heavily.
Luo Xue curiously watched the shaking carriage, and as soon as the door opened, several people rushed out, and Luo Xue hastily cleared a path for them.
"Luo Xue, sorry, we're not late, are we?" Lu Shuai said with a smile.
"Everyone's here, just missing you," Luo Xue replied, without further ado, leading the crowd towards the Black Rose Base.
Inside the Black Rose Base, although others were chatting happily, their attention was still focused on the impending events.
Nalan's gaze swept across Chi Hu and Bu Huangming, and the trio exchanged a subtle glance that instantly boosted Chi Hu and Bu Huangming's confidence. They were supported by Divine Revelation in toppling Quiet Order this time.
This was Nalan's counterattack against Quiet Order for seizing the natural law proclamation. It would be lowering their status for Divine Revelation to take direct action. The previous plans targeting beauty contests hadn't succeeded, so it was convenient to dismantle the Fools Alliance. A spot in the Nine Dragons was enough to make Chi Hu and Bu Huangming change sides.
Chi Hu and Bu Huangming weren't fools; even if they didn't realize the implications initially, they soon did, but it didn't matter as benefits were shared among everyone.
Chi Hu replaced Bai Peng, and the other seat was vacated by Yan Tianguang. Everyone knew Yan Tianguang's character—he really hated trouble—so the three parties quickly reached an agreement.
"What arrangements did you make?" Ji Mingyue asked softly.
"Just sit back and enjoy the show," Nalan replied with a slight smile. Previously, placing them together was because they were too weak; separated, fighting wasn't fun.
Ji Mingyue and the others noticed Luo Xue and the members of the Quiet Order coming in quickly.
They were late.
Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but today was different.
"Bai Peng, what's the situation? You're quite bold, being late for the monthly exam, making everyone wait for you," Chi Hu first attacked.
Bai Peng initially had an apologetic look, but who would have thought the other party would be so aggressive right away? He calmly said, "There was a bit of a delay, the agreed time hasn't passed, so it's not considered late."
"Bai Peng, saying that isn't right. Are you expecting Lord Jiang to wait for you? Chi Hu is right; Quiet Order has quite the reputation, and the proclamation hasn't even begun, yet you're acting this way. What will happen when it starts?" Bu Huangming said.
Bai Peng frowned, looked around at the onlookers sensing something amiss, and was about to speak when Lu Shuai stepped forward, "Sorry, everyone, it's me who's late, causing a delay. I apologize to everyone."
Saying this, he cupped his hands toward the surroundings in apology.
Chi Hu glanced at Lu Shuai, "You were well brought up."
"Chi Hu, what's this? Be reasonable. The monthly exam is about to begin, no need for a battle of words," Lei Jiu said, always observing Li Xin, and noticing significant changes over the past seven years.
"Alright, Old Jiu, I'll give you face. Hopefully, they won't hold us back this time," Chi Hu said.
Nalan quietly observed Li Xin amidst the crowd, feeling as though from a different time; gone was the coldness of the Secret Castle, replaced by a touch of mediocrity.
Yan Tianguang, who had been meditating with closed eyes, hadn't moved his gaze away from Li Xin since his appearance. Just now, everyone was drawn to Chi Hu and Bu Huangming's provocations, failing to notice Yan Tianguang's strong murderous aura.
This little episode came to a close as everyone entered the Black Rose Base's training ground.
"Is it him?"
"It's him."
"Such a big change."
"Of course; seven years have passed, what do you expect?"
"Who knows, let's see."
Patir kept her attention on Li Xin, acutely aware that ever since this person appeared, Ji Mingyue, Nalan, Pang Ban, Isaiah, and even the Stone Man-like Yan Tianguang hadn't stopped watching him.
This must be the fellow from the Secret Castle they were talking about.
At first glance, nothing seemed special, but gradually there was something different. Patir was particularly sensitive to male charm and noticed his eyes, which instantly filled her with strong admiration.
Those were eyes with stories, very unique!
Nalan's gaze subtly concealed deep arrogance, Yan Tianguang's strong murderous aura made him want to stab anyone he looked at, Pang Ban immaturely flaunted himself, even the Princess had a certain inexplicable complexity and messiness.
Yet his eyes conveyed clarity mixed with defiance, giving one a sense of "freedom."
When he looked at people, it was with an untainted appreciation.
Li Xin sensed Patir's intense gaze, smiled slightly, and nodded kindly; he knew her, Aunt Fei's great contributor at the Citizen Daily, Miss Patir of Maxine.
Faced with the other's smile filled with admiration, Patir felt her heart accelerate; she'd never experienced such feelings.
Damn it!
Everyone entered the training ground and suddenly froze, as besides Jiang Yan, there was a majestic figure.
Almost none of the students present didn't recognize him, a graduate from Divine Revelation Canon Law School, the leader of the Dragon Flame Knight Order, the Battle Angel, Lord Li Moqian, accompanied by Headmaster Mark Porter.
Usually, Headmaster Mark wouldn't attend monthly exams, but with Commander Li present, he still had to accompany him.
Li Moqian conversed with Headmaster Mark, and noticing the crowd coming in, Mark smiled, "I'll leave now, this place is yours, lest they say we at Divine Revelation are bullying others."
Li Moqian nodded, watching Mark Porter leave.
Li Moqian glanced at Jiang Yan, signaling him to begin.
Jiang Yan took a step forward, "This time, the main examiner for the monthly exam is personally Commander Li, so the assessment method will be different from customary."
The crowd exchanged puzzled yet excited glances; apart from Ji Mingyue, no one knew Li Moqian would be present.
