Chapter 4926: Mysterious Freckled Girl
She appeared to be around the same age as Aâzhui from Eight-stallion. Her eyes brimmed with vigor and cleverness.
Her calm aura resembled a heavy stone submerged in dead water as if she had a vow of silence. The myriad laws and the world itself found serenity in her presence.
Only the gentle wind was left behind and the quiet trickling of springs. This helped those near her find peace. There was no need to speak, only silence meditation.
She stood in front of Li Qiye and stared at him. Her conspicuous freckles didnât ruin her beauty but actually accentuated it. She seemed to be happy like a little sparrow and infected everyone with her mood.
Her big, round eyes seemed to be speaking to him. Li Qiye crouched down to stare into her eyes. It was the same as being in the middle of an ocean.
âLittle one, do you have something to say to the young noble?â Ming Shi asked.
The girl didnât respond and continued staring at Li Qiye. He did the same, appreciating her jewel-like eyes.
After a while, he gently rubbed her head for a bit before pulling back. She smiled happily and something akin to the harmonization of the dao occurred.
She then bowed deeply toward Li Qiye before leaving.
âThat girl doesnât speak, maybe she canât?â Ming Shi said.
âShe can.â Li Qiye smiled.
âSo you know about her? Tell me.â Ming Shi asked.
Li Qiye only smiled in response.
âShe joined about the same time as us but I havenât heard her talk before either.â Goldcrest Young Noble became curious.
âThere are many strange and interest students in Abroad, she is one of them.â Yunyun said.
âYes, a mystery indeed.â Ming Shi said: âNo one knows her origin and cultivation method. She doesnât speak or hang around anyone.â
At first, Ming Shi thought that the freckled girl was mute and couldnât speak. This filled her with sympathy so she asked around for the girlâs information. No one knew anything.
Yunyun could tell by Li Qiyeâs smile that he could see what was going on but didnât want to tell them.
The freckled girl left a deep impression on her. Why was she here in Abroad? She didnât look like a mortal or someone from a smaller sect because a mortal body wouldnât have that much spirituality in the eyes.
Of course, she was merely curious and didnât feel the same sympathy as Ming Shi. The latter was different since she came from Untethered.
This lineage currently was mighty. She had powerful seniors who loved her. Her favorable environment fostered kindness and virtuous intentions.
The same couldnât be said about Yunyun. Primal was currently a mess and she was overwhelmed with responsibility. She had no time to worry about anything else.
The group went back inside the house. Ming Shi sat down and said: âDeity must have lost something incredible, thatâs why Radiant Young Monarchâs group is so anxious.â
âYes, after all, Swordgrasp and Immortal Pagoda are working together, Godchaser Palace too. Godchaser is very prideful and doesnât like to work with others unless it is something of crucial importance.â Goldcrest added.
Normally, Swordgrasp School had a unique position in Deity. The current generation was an exception because of Conceal Conqueror.
Her existence propelled Godchaser above all the other sects in Deity. Moreover, it had Radiant Monarch as well.
Yunyun was amused because she knew the answer - Benevolence. Of course, she wasnât in a position to tell them.
âOkay, if thereâs nothing else, letâs take a break.â Li Qiye smiled and had no interest in this matter. He only wanted to visit the academy for a bit to see this old place.
âThere is something else, very exciting stuff.â Ming Shi giggled at him.
âWhat is it?â He asked.
âOur class will be graduating soon.â She revealed.
Goldcrest and Yunyun exchanged glances, becoming emotional.
âTime passes by so fast. No wonder why some stick around after their term.â Goldcrest sentimentally said.
There was no requirement to leave after graduation. If one had thick skin, they could continue staying. Some would actually do so their whole life.
Because of this generosity, those who became successful later on would send amazing gifts back here.
After all, cultivation was difficult. Their period at the academy might be the easiest time. It gave them shelter and peace, no need to worry about life and death.
âSince weâre graduating, we need to gift the academy with something.â Ming Shi said.
âDo you guys have anything in mind?â Goldcrest asked.
Some students had amazing resources due to their backgrounds. They could indeed give great gifts to the academy during their graduation.
âI havenât thought about it.â Yunyun smiled wryly. The situation in Primal didnât give her time to think.
âWe have to brainstorm then.â Ming Shi smiled.
âIâm not a student at the academy.â Li Qiye didnât want to participate.
âSure, there are two things that will interest you.â Ming Shi said.
âWhat?â He asked.
âThe graduation ceremony and the deer pawnshop.â She said.
âOh right, I completely forgot about it.â Goldcrest calculated with his fingers: âSeems like our class is rather lucky.â
âWe have to go take a look.â Yunyun actually became excited.
âNot just take a look, we should do a great job in order to repay the academy.â Ming Shi said.
