Chapter 3, Saving Two Lives in Succession
Wolf furrowed his brow and said with concern. He did not intervene on the day of the bet, which left him feeling unsettled all day long. The mere thought that Lin Yan could be harmed made him feel unable to forgive himself
Hello, esteemed Miss Weilin. " Wofute performed a hand-kissing gesture, " It is an honor to meet you here. " Since Weilin is an important figure in the imperial power faction, Wofute did not dare to treat her with any disrespect
"Father, I would like you to assess these two magic cores once more," Lin Yan presented the magic cores that had been extracted earlier. One was of the same size as the last time, while the other was twice as large and significantly darker in color.
Ranked fifth is the only daughter of our empire's prince, Wei Lin of Mosang
By the way, let's gather some dry firewood to prepare a delicious meal. The food on this continent is truly far inferior compared to that of the Central Plains. Thinking of the delicacies from the Central Plains that often linger in the minds of my masters, and then considering the meals provided by the sect, Lin Yan felt an unbearable hunger.
Seeing him accept it, Lin Yan felt very pleased. As for whether he remembers or not, it does not matter.
Is that so? Then I must do my best. Lin Yan calmly withdrew her arm, It is time for class, I have to go. After saying this, she turned and left
Lin Yan searched for dead branches along the thick parts of the trees. Suddenly, she heard a few faint moans, the sound was very subtle, almost inaudible, and she unconsciously stopped in her tracks
Weilin's originally proud gaze turned resentful the moment it fell upon the hands of Lin Yan and Wolfte clasped together. She let out a heavy snort, raised her chin, and commanded, "We are leaving!" With that, she swaggered away with her entourage.
The third place is Duke Wolfte of the third grade. Duke Wolfte not only excels in martial skills but is also regarded as the most handsome man in the academy by many female fellow citizens. Therefore, his reputation is indeed higher than that of His Highness Rowan Hall.
As she walked over a hillside, Lin Yan raised her eyes and saw a vast expanse of honeysuckle vines, which were precisely the medicinal materials she needed at that moment. After they had gathered enough honeysuckle vines, they turned and left.
The situation is serious; it seems that our Wolfte has become infatuated with this woman, frequently appearing by her side and showing her extreme care. This fact has caused great indignation among many hopeful beauties
This left the old man with no choice but to accept. He choked back tears and said, "The kindness of our benefactor will always be remembered by my grandson and me."
Marian said: "Whether I win or lose, I have nothing to lose. However, that woman, Velin, is known for her talent in the Empire and has been practicing martial arts since childhood, so she should have a great chance of winning. By the way, what is the current bet?"
As soon as the branch made contact with the Phenomenon, it immediately emitted a sizzling sound, and a faint mist began to waft out from the eyes on the leaves. Upon further inspection, everyone involuntarily gasped and took a few steps back.
The topic of how to turn leaves into medicinal powder is beyond the scope of our studies. The purpose of this lesson is to familiarize ourselves with the most poisonous of these magical plants, and to remember its appearance as well as the methods to counteract it. We will discuss the rest in the next class. Class dismissed
No, it is not that; it is just that in recent years, such high-quality third-level magic cores have become rare. According to the regulations of the Empire, this magic core is worth 5,000 gold coins. Do you agree to the other one being the same as last time?
As for martial skills, she is not worried at all. Although she has lost her internal energy, her insight remains. The martial techniques here are just a few moves that come and go, full of flaws, lacking any real skill, so what is there to be afraid of
Lin Yan smiled gently and said to him: "Don't be afraid, I am here to treat your wounds"
After school, Lin Yan was still savoring the lesson. It seemed that there were indeed some things in the magical world worth learning. However, after attending class for so long, the application of magic had remained at the theoretical level. And these theories, no matter how Lin Yan listened to them, felt somewhat difficult to be convincing.
Is Miss Lin Yan feeling shy?" Wei Lin said, "If you don't mind, I can help you uncover it.
A brown-haired girl said: "I heard that the odds for a tie between two players is 2 to 1, and the odds for betting on Lin Yan to win all is 1 to 5"
As Lin Yan just ascended the hillside, she suddenly heard Lovis's shout, and she quickly responded loudly, "I am here." Turning to inform the boy, she was taken aback to see the grass in disarray, stained with blood, and the person was no longer there
Gadri gently tossed the branch in his hand towards the lush side of the Finatoman tree, and immediately retreated after throwing it.
Until the end of school, Lin Yan did not see Luo Weisi and did not know what had happened to her
As Lin Yan walked, she thought that her grandfather would surely experience diarrhea at that time, in order to expel the remaining toxins and bad blood from his body. She could stay outside a little longer, so why not take a good look around this mountain? There are plenty of medicinal herbs here, and no one has ever harvested them. Why not search for some rare and unique herbs?
Ranked third is still the third place winner from the previous session, Lidiya, whose nickname is 'Goddess of Spring'. Possessing extraordinary beauty, Lidiya is also a gentle and compassionate person
After everyone followed the teacher to the woods behind the academy, they arrived at a large clearing. The botany teacher, Mr. Gadri, is an old man with a long beard, his wrinkled face adorned with small triangular eyes that seem perpetually half-closed, always appearing listless.
How I wished to be tall and beautiful at that time. Lin Yan sighed inwardly. Now that the dream has become a reality, why am I becoming less and less happy? Why do I go to great lengths to conceal my appearance?
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Alright"
Lovis stammered in response, "Do you really have confidence in this?"
She secretly pondered that such poison should be manageable with the Clear Blood Pill from her sect. Lin Yan had occasionally helped others with ailments while at the Ruoxu Temple; although she could not be considered a renowned physician, she could be said to have a basic understanding of medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is vast and profound, and to have even a rudimentary grasp of it is already quite remarkable
It is unclear how the news spread so quickly, but the next day when Lin Yan walked into the campus, she immediately felt a much warmer reception than usual.
At this moment, another sound of groaning came from afar. Lin Yan followed the direction of the sound and turned around a tall tree, arriving at a hillside. There, she saw a man dressed in gray lying on the ground, covered in blood. He lay completely still, only occasionally emitting low groans.
Wolfte was not very worried; he had heard Lin Yan's flute playing and knew that she could at least match Wei Lin in music. Perhaps it was just a tie, Wolfte thought. As for martial skills, Lin Yan showed no trace of fighting spirit, while Wei Lin was considered a skilled practitioner among her peers.
Lin Yan smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Upon hearing Lin Yan's response, Marlene felt greatly pleased. She took her hand and said, "You still need to make more preparations; I have heard that many people have placed their bets."
Before Lin Yan could react, her hand was already firmly grasped by a large hand. It was Wolfte.
What is your name? the boy asked. His voice was deep and magnetic, very pleasant to hear
Lin Yan said softly, "If there is anything, feel free to tell me, and I will see if I can help you."
When Lin Yan sat down, she saw two girls behind her looking down at a large piece of paper (it was a newspaper) and softly reading aloud. Lin Yan leaned back slightly, pretending to be indifferent, and began to listen.
"Oh, is this not the renowned Miss Veil?" Veline performed a standard noble greeting, "Esteemed Miss, I have heard that your beauty is astonishing. May I have the honor of seeing your visage beneath the veil?"
What exactly is going on? Lin Yan feels a bit out of place
After saying this, he pulled the branch away towards the side where the leaves were sparse, yet there was no change at all. The students, seeing the teacher perform this action so seriously and solemnly, couldn't help but laugh. Usually, a few mischievous students laughed even louder, and one of them joked, "Teacher Gadri, are you putting on a show or something?"
The top rank remains with Miss Yingsi, who was also the first last year. Miss Yingsi is the eldest daughter of Duke Akerli of the Principality of Locke. Since last year, she has been recognized as the most beautiful woman in this institution. Her blue eyes are often filled with deep affection, and her smile resembles the blooming of flowers... Initially, many believed that after the arrival of the most beautiful woman from the Principality of Yaqian, Ai Hubing, she would relinquish her title as the most beautiful. However, after a vote involving three hundred and eighty people, the majority concluded that Miss Yingsi's gentleness enhances her beauty even further...

However, after a vote involving three hundred and eighty people, the majority concluded that Miss Yingsi's gentleness enhances her beauty even further...
Lovis's large eyes looked at Lin Yan with gratitude, making Lin Yan feel a bit embarrassed
Lin Yan looked at his shy demeanor and thought to herself, it should not be just this, Wei Lin seems to have a bit of a love-hate relationship, there must be other underlying reasons.
Lin Yan nodded and requested leave from the teacher. The two of them left the school
Ranked fourth is Wen Luoge, whose petite figure combined with an angelic face leads many to believe that upon seeing her, all men would transform into gentlemen
Lovis said: "Behind is the mountain. Sister, what about my grandfather?"
Of course
Enough!" Wolfte exclaimed. He forcefully shook off Weilin's hand, ignoring her ashen face, and turned to Lin Yan saying, "Let's go." After saying this, he took Lin Yan's hand and prepared to leave.
Furthermore, there is currently a matter of great seriousness for all the beautiful ladies in the academy: a mysterious woman has appeared beside the handsome Wolfte, who ranked first among the martial arts experts last year, while the third-ranked expert is also present. This woman has an unknown background and is always seen wearing a veil. Her beautiful and clear black eyes have led more than half of the men to believe that she is an extraordinary beauty. However, according to reliable sources, her face has suffered severe burns.
What else do you need to prepare? Is there anything I can assist you with? Wolfte asked
Wolfte nodded slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, "She sought me out a few times last year"
He cleared his throat, interrupting the noisy students, "Children, today I will introduce you to the most famous poisonous plant in the magical world—Fina Doman, this is it"
Lovis shook her head and said, "It's useless; even with Teacher Yojie, it cannot be cured."
Before she finished speaking, her hand had already reached out
Lin Yan understood that there was no concept of "plants can also cure diseases" on this continent, so she did not elaborate further and took Luowei Si out the door. It was unclear whether it was due to excessive nervousness or overwhelming joy, but on the flat road, Luowei Si fell several times in succession.
Sarcasm, it is undoubtedly blatant sarcasm! Although there are no scars on Lin Yan's face, she still dislikes this tone very much. If she were truly disfigured, this statement would be enough to leave her utterly humiliated
Gadri raised his voice and said, "All the students from the south go to the north." After a while, he cautiously stood on the side where the leaves were sparse, "Everyone pay attention, be careful."
Lin Yan paid no attention and walked towards the classroom on her own. When she reached the tree-lined path on the east side, a group of women approached her, all dressed in red robes, belonging to the academy's martial arts class
Miss, where did you obtain this magic core from
After attending two classes, Lin Yan realized that she had not absorbed anything. She really wanted to talk to Luowei Si, but the young girl seemed to be missing for some reason. The last class was Magical Botany, which was an outdoor demonstration class
Thinking of it, Lin Yan calculated that the 1,500 gold coins she had on her were still unused. However, it was still not enough; if she was going to play, she wanted to play big. She quickened her pace towards the stable, mounted her horse, and headed towards the Magic Item Appraisal Guild.
Behind the Lovis family home lies a mountain, covered with trees everywhere, and the tall bushes make it quite difficult for them to walk. After traversing this stretch, there is a small path, flanked by lush green grass, alongside which is a relatively large lake, appearing quite beautiful. Lin Yan thought to herself: Who would have known that such a beautiful scenery lies behind those dilapidated houses? In the future, I could come here often to relax and unwind.
In recent days, it has been quite difficult to see Luowei's figure in class every day. When she does appear, it is also in a hurried manner. Lin Yan has noticed that she looks haggard, with swollen eyes, which may indicate that something has happened at home
Lovis ran over and called out, "Sister Lin Yan, what are you looking at?"
Lin Yan nodded slightly, turned her head, and chose not to look at Luo Weisi's expression that was a mix of wanting to cry and wanting to laugh
Grandfather Lovis asked, "Benefactor, we, the two of us, are unable to repay your kindness. May I ask if there is anything we can do to serve you?"
Upon arriving at the counter, Asos's father happened to be there as well. Lin Yan called out, and Asos's father immediately recognized her
With this thought in mind, Lin Yan slowly walked deeper into the forest. When she arrived at the lakeside where she had been before, she saw the clear water revealing the bottom, and the fish playing from time to time, which suddenly made her feel a bit greedy.
Lin Yan said, "Then I am the same."
Ranked first is Lendoqi from the fifth grade, who has held the top position on the academy's hero list for two consecutive years. Lendoqi's martial skills are characterized by speed, ferocity, and precision
The next day during class, Lin Yan suddenly felt that the atmosphere was somewhat different: groups of three to five classmates were gathered together, chatting and laughing incessantly. Male and female students who usually weren't very familiar with each other were now teasing and playfully jostling one another with great familiarity. Moreover, the way they looked at her contained a kind of mockery that made her very uncomfortable. Some girls would occasionally glance at her, and when their eyes met, they would immediately turn their heads away.
Upon seeing Lin Yan, a red-haired, blue-eyed woman at the forefront brightened her eyes, quickened her pace towards her, and warmly offered her a radiant smile. "Lin Yan, I heard you are going to compete with Wei Lin? Do your best, I will support you wholeheartedly." After saying this, as if recalling something, she added, "I forgot to tell you, I am Marlene from the second year of the martial arts class."
After Lin Yan returned to the classroom, she ignored the whispers and pointing from others and focused on reading a book on the basics of magic.
Teacher, what is that powder
The room is indeed very tidy and clean, but it is empty, truly a home with bare walls. Lin Yan looked up and noticed several holes in the ceiling. She sighed, such a room cannot shelter one from the wind and rain
Looking at his youthful face, Lin Yan's earlier fear dissipated. She crouched down to take a closer look. This boy was not only injured but also poisoned. His injuries were not severe, consisting mainly of superficial wounds, but there was a deep gash on his abdomen caused by a sword. The flesh around the wound had turned black and rotten, indicating that he had been struck by a blade coated with poison, which appeared to be quite potent.
Weilin noticed a change in her tone and proudly revealed a smile, "The academy will hold a challenge competition in one month. I have registered for music and martial arts, what about you?"
Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "I hope you will not tell anyone about my treating your injuries." Although even the renowned water system healer Master Yaojie was powerless against the ailment, Lin Yan was able to cure it effortlessly, which left the grandfather and grandson feeling that she was unfathomable. However, since their benefactor had spoken, they naturally would do their utmost to comply
Stop!" Wei Lin said angrily, her voice trembling: "You ugly woman, are you just going to walk away like this? Do you have the ability to compete with me?"
The branches thrown by Gadri rapidly decayed at a visibly noticeable speed, eventually turning to ash. In the area within a radius of one meter from where the mist spread, all the plants were decaying and disappearing at a visibly noticeable speed
Lin Yan first took out a small knife from the bracelet and gently cut away the necrotic tissue around the wound. Generally, cutting away necrotic tissue is not very painful; the boy furrowed his brows and let out a soft moan, but did not open his eyes.
Lin Yan took a look and saw that the Feina Tuo Man resembled a small tree, with a short trunk covered in round leaves. Each leaf had a circular object in its center that resembled an eye, as if countless eyes were staring at you, which was quite eerie. It also had a peculiar characteristic: one side of the leaves was lush, while the other side was sparse.
In the magnificent hall, the two of them sat in a corner, separated by three tall plants, creating a serene atmosphere. Wolfte gazed gently at Lin Yan, occasionally serving her dishes.
I do not know how it happens, but every time I am next to Lin Yan, I am unable to think clearly. As soon as she gives me a glance, I lose all rationality and obediently follow her commands
Lovis sensed Lin Yan's confusion and gently said: "My grandfather once helped the dean with a significant task, so I was admitted for free." Lin Yan nodded slightly.
Wolfte gazed intently at the exquisitely radiant profile illuminated by the moonlight, admiring the elegant brows and the veil that fluttered with each breath, feeling an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. When she was not by his side, he found himself thinking of her at all times, and upon seeing her, just as he did now, it felt as if with this woman, he had everything in the world.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Does she like you?"
Lin Yan cautiously approached and saw that he was still a child, appearing to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pale face that was quite handsome and golden hair. His face was contorted in pain, with sweat and dried blood mingling together on his skin
She slowly approached the boy, cautiously on guard, fearing that he might make any unusual movements. It was not that she was afraid of being harmed by him, for he certainly lacked the strength to hurt her at that moment. Her concern was that he might accidentally spill the precious potion in his hand
"Sister, my grandfather has woken up, and he wants me to call you over." Luowei Si's face was filled with joy as she continued to speak without pause, "After he woke up, he said he needed to use the bathroom. But before he could get there, it all came out... After I cleaned everything up, grandfather said he was hungry, so I made him some porridge to eat. Just now, he said he felt very clear-headed and comfortable, and asked me to call you back."
Then, someone might ask, how do we usually come into contact with it? It is done using this. Teacher Gadri took a bit of white powder from the prepared bag and sprinkled it on the Phinatoman. In an instant, all the leaves that were dusted with the powder withered away. Now, it is safe. Gadri pulled the branch away from it, and everyone immediately stepped back three paces. However, no matter how he pulled, the Phinatoman no longer emitted any mist. Now, it is safe. Gadri pulled the branch away from it, and everyone immediately stepped back three paces. However, no matter how he pulled, the Phinatoman no longer emitted any mist.
"You actually dare to step aside?" Wei Lin said through gritted teeth. She lunged at Lin Yan again, this time employing her martial skills
Lovis responded cheerfully, "Alright"
After Lin Yan left with the money, Asos's father picked up the magic core again and began to examine it
Poisoning? Then I might have a solution
Lin Yan turned around and said, "It's nothing." She walked down the slope and left this place with Luowei Si
By the way, regarding the bet, it seems that everyone really lacks confidence in themselves. Since this is such an interesting matter, why shouldn't I participate as well
The old man was lying on the bed, emaciated from years of poverty and illness, his body reduced to skin and bones. His gaunt face was tinged with a dark hue, his breathing labored and accompanied by a foul odor, clearly indicative of poisoning. Lin Yan checked his pulse with her hand, confirming the presence of long-standing accumulated toxins, which seemed to have been triggered by external factors.
If you lose, you will give me one hundred thousand gold coins
Lovis's eyes lit up, but then she hesitated and said: "Really? But Teacher Yuejie said that my grandfather was poisoned a long time ago, and it is only now that he is showing symptoms."
Lovis obediently knelt on one knee before Lin Yan, performing the highest form of greeting from the Western continent. Lin Yan did not decline and accepted her gesture. Coming from a background in the martial world, she understood the principle of repaying kindness, so she accepted it with great composure
Lovis shook her head, "Teacher Yojie said my grandfather was poisoned"
Last year, the second place was held by His Highness, the Prince of the Empire from the fourth grade: Rowan Hall. However, His Highness has yet to report to the academy, and some say that he may no longer be able to attend. Let us wait and see who will be able to take the second seat of this academy
Weilin cast a disdainful glance at Lin Yan, a look that contained not only disgust but also a deep-seated jealousy. Lin Yan couldn't help but murmur to herself: this Wolfte really is quite popular!
After a pause, she said with a tone of hatred: "You must win, make sure to dampen her spirit thoroughly."
The sixth place is taken by Miss Zhibing
Lin Yan thought for a moment, then got up and went to the lakeside to collect a little water with leaves. She took out a Clear Blood Pill and dissolved it in the water. When she returned to the boy's side, she found that he had already woken up and was looking at Lin Yan with a pair of purple eyes.
"Good question, if anyone knows what this powder is, please raise your hand." Seeing that no one raised their hand, Gadri continued, "It seems that everyone has not been studying seriously. This powder is lime. However, this lime can only be effective for five hours. Within five hours, we can make it and cut the leaves of the Flamboyant tree to produce medicinal powder. Once detached from the trunk, the leaves of the Flamboyant tree can no longer emit toxic mist. Within five hours, we can make it and cut the leaves of the Flamboyant tree to produce medicinal powder. Once detached from the trunk, the leaves of the Flamboyant tree can no longer emit toxic mist
Upon seeing that the elderly man had already swallowed the medicine, Lin Yan said to Luo Weisi: "He will wake up in about half an hour. When he wakes up, he will be eager to go to the bathroom, and after that, he may need to clean himself. Please prepare for that. I will take a walk to the back mountain and come back to check on him later." Thinking about the foul odor that might arise during the detoxification process, she felt a bit nauseous and quickly left.
As soon as Old Aso saw it, he grabbed the larger one and looked at the mirror emitting white light repeatedly for nearly half an hour
Lin Yan also became nervous, carefully paying attention to the teacher's next move
While the two were enjoying their meal, a voice that seemed familiar from a past life, and which had made a great effort to escape in this life, suddenly rang out, "Wolfte, you are here dining as well, what a coincidence!" It was Wei Lin! She walked towards the two with her chin held high, exuding great pride, followed by a group of people behind her
Lovis quickly nodded. She took Lin Yan's hand and said, "Sister, shall we go now?" There was a hint of pleading in her tone
After the two settled down, Wolfte said: "I am sorry, it is my fault that you got involved in the matter of Weilin."
Gadri did not pay any attention, merely saying: "Everyone, pay attention." There was a hint of tension in his voice
"No need, I am all set," Lin Yan said with a sly smile, looking at Wolfte's puzzled expression, and she did not say much more.
Lin Yan kept looking around as she walked. Along the way, she saw dandelions, fish mint, and ban lan gen, among other detoxifying herbs. To her surprise, there were even some polygonum vines, which were clearly not new. These were all treasures, but unfortunately, there was no time to collect them. Lin Yan was unaware that the spiritual energy on this continent was inherently more abundant than that of Earth, and that the local people never used these herbs. Therefore, not only here, but throughout all the mountains and forests, there were wild medicinal herbs that were rare in the Central Plains, and even of better quality.
Gadri looked at the frightened students and said: "Now you all understand why it is considered the most poisonous substance in the magical realm. The toxic gas it releases can turn all living beings to ash. However, as you just saw, its other side, which is sparse and withered leaves, is safe.
That evening, while Lin Yan and Wolfte were walking on campus, both felt somewhat uneasy. Especially as more and more people passed by, they felt as if insects were crawling all over their bodies, causing an itchiness that made them uncomfortable all over.
Upon hearing this, Wolfte felt a surge of joy in his heart; being able to spend time alone with Lin Yan was something he had long desired
Lovis's home is not far away, located in the suburbs to the north of the city. It is evident that her family is not well-off, as the nearby houses are all dilapidated and old. Her home is also a run-down house with two rooms, and there is a hole the size of a human head in the earthen wall.
Lin Yan said: "Is your family member injured?"
Lin Yan thought about when she would be able to learn to wield magic
Lin Yan said, "Do not be anxious, I have some confidence. Now, take me to the mountain, I still need to gather some things before I can begin treating your grandfather"
Ranked fourth is Kegluo from the second grade. Kegluo comes from a commoner background, and although he has not practiced martial arts for long, he possesses considerable talent
This oath stone of magic has been passed down from ancient contract magic, and those who break their oath will suffer unbearable pain for three consecutive days. Such suffering is beyond what anyone can endure
The second-ranked is the most beautiful woman of the Duchy of Ayan, Ai Hubing. Since she turned fourteen, Duchess Ai Hubing has held the title of the most beautiful woman in the Duchy of Ayan. Her beauty is beyond doubt
The boy stared at Lin Yan without blinking. Seeing that he did not seem afraid of her, Lin Yan relaxed. She crouched down and sprinkled a little medicine on the wound, only to hear a sizzling sound as fresh blood quickly flowed from the wound, and then it began to heal at a visibly rapid pace.
After returning to the house, Lin Yan instructed Luowei Si to boil the honeysuckle vine in water. After it cooled, she took out a piece of Clear Blood Pill, crushed it, and mixed it in. Then she slowly administered the medicine into her grandfather Luowei Si's mouth
Very well, if I win, you will bow to me ten times and shall never appear in my sight again
Of course I am ready, the guqin I acquired from Master Charlie last time is just right for the occasion. Although my own clothes in the bracelet have become too small to wear, there is still one piece of clothing that I deceitfully obtained from my fifth master. From the moment I laid eyes on that garment, I could not bear to part with it, and it often occupies my thoughts. Perhaps it represents the dreams I had at that time.
Wolf furrowed his brow, striving to relax his tightly clenched fists
Lin Yan returned to the academy, and the first thing she did was to stake 6,000 gold coins, betting on her own victory. Hmph, with odds of five to one, if she wins, it would amount to 30,000 gold coins
The six new beauties of the college for the new academic year have been unveiled
Let us go to the Golden Restaurant on East Street for a meal? Wolfte spoke, and Lin Yan immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright." The two of them promptly walked towards the school gate with the swiftest yet still elegant steps of their lives. As they passed through the gate, many pairs of eyes, either curious or indignant, were fixed on them. That kind of gaze made their movements even quicker, and Lin Yan almost jogged out of the school gate
Let's not worry about that for now, take me to have a look
Alright, it's a promise. Di Zhi, bring the oath magic stone here
Lin Yan thought to herself, with this little bit of life-saving resources, using one less is still better than becoming famous. After some contemplation, she took out two hundred gold coins and said to the old man: "I share a sisterly bond with Luowei Si, and I truly do not wish for her to live in such a dilapidated place. This second request is that you accept this money and live a better life."
The honor roll of the academy is still arranged according to last year's rankings before the academy challenge competition
When she returned to the manor gracefully, she saw Wolfte walking back and forth in the garden, while several knights stood straight in place. Upon seeing Lin Yan, his eyes lit up, and he approached her, saying, "Are you alright? I didn't wait for you after class, so I came here." Although his tone was casual, the underlying tension was still evident.
Lin Yan was unaware that her glance and smile just now, with the wind blowing through her long hair, truly resembled that of a celestial being. She also did not know that this scene and feeling had deeply etched themselves into the boy's mind, never to be forgotten in this life and the next. That moment of her glance and smile became eternal
Grandfather saw Lin Yan coming and struggled to get up from the bed to pay his respects to her. Lin Yan hurriedly stopped him, and when the old man could not perform the gesture of respect, he said to Luowei Si: "Child, you should perform a grand salute on behalf of your grandfather to our benefactor"
She is a renowned talented woman of the empire, known for her voice, which is referred to as the 'Yellow Oriole of the Empire.' However, I am not afraid that you will lose to her in this regard. What I fear is her martial skills, but... if you lose, then so be it; after all, once you win in music, you will be even. My only concern is that she might be too harsh in the arena.
The Golden Food Court is a renowned culinary destination. Although Western cuisine is hardly commendable, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Lin Yan, not wanting to cook for herself, can only try to choose some places that are palatable for dining. This Golden Food Court is indeed one of those palatable places
When everyone focused their attention on him, he nodded, raised the branch in his hand, and said: "Watch carefully"
"Come, open your mouth," Lin Yan gently advised as she noticed the boy still staring at her. The boy frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with Lin Yan's tone. Nevertheless, he opened his mouth and allowed Lin Yan to pour the medicine in. While being fed the medicine, the boy continued to gaze intently at Lin Yan.
On that day, shortly after the class began, Lovis informed the teacher that she needed to leave. Lin Yan tugged at her sleeve and asked her what was going on. Lovis glanced at Lin Yan, lowered her head, but remained silent.
Lin Yan felt a bit nervous upon hearing this, "What’s wrong? Is something not right? This magic core is the same one I sold last time."
"It doesn't matter, she can't hurt me," Lin Yan said, looking at his troubled expression. "How about we go for a walk outside?"
The two individuals recited the terms of the wager, and then each drew a drop of blood from their fingertips. Once the blood soaked into the magical stone, Lin Yan felt a tingling sensation throughout her body, as if something had been added to her mind. It seemed that the contract had taken effect. "Haha, Dazhi, go back and fetch ten thousand gold coins; I will win it all."
Although Lin Yan's internal energy had vanished, her body, honed through years of training, reacted more swiftly than that of many others. She shifted her step, making way.
At this moment, Lin Yan had already stood up, preparing to walk to the lakeside to fetch some water to wash his wound. Upon hearing this, she turned halfway, glanced back with a smile, and slightly parted her red lips: "My name is Lin Yan"
Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. How could she, living in such an old house, still gain admission to the Magic Martial Arts Academy? Although the academy provides food and accommodation, the tuition fees remain an astronomical figure for the poor.
One hundred thousand gold coins is an enormous sum; even the only daughter of the emperor's brother, Wei Lin, would have to incur debt to produce such an amount. Lin Yan watched her retreating figure and scoffed inwardly.
For some reason, Lin Yan began to feel embarrassed
Lin Yanrao, even as a clay figurine, possesses a temper. She shook her head at the angry Wolfte and then turned around, saying: "What do you want to compare?"
"Miss Marlene, do you think Lin Yan will win?" asked a blonde girl
After some thought, she realized that this world was not much different from her original place. When she was in the forest, she saw many medicinal herbs that were common in her original world. She said to Lovis, who was staring at her nervously: "What mountains and forests are there here"
With a cold glance at Lin Yan, Wei Lin turned her gaze gently towards Wolfte. Following her line of sight, Lin Yan also looked at Wolfte. Noticing the sweat beginning to bead on Wolfte's face, Lin Yan couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing: it seems that he and I truly share the same aspirations
