Chapter 536: I Am Your Classmate!
"Huh?" Lou Qianxue also looked at Chu Pengfei with a strange gaze. She did not expect him to be a famous soldier.
She realized that he had an upright and open-minded character. He indeed had the demeanor of a soldier.
In her past life...
She had been a member of the national special forces, so she had a special feeling for soldiers.
If it were possible, she had the same wish as Hong Qinghe, which was to go onto the battlefield and kill her country's enemies.
As she thought about it, her expression softened, and she softly said, "Chu Pengfei, did you come to look for me?"
"Yes! My father wanted me to stay close to you and protect you! Hence I came— Right, I'm now your classmate."
"You? How's it possible?"
"Why isn't it possible? Every year, the Imperial academy gives a quota for enrollment to a few big families in the Imperial city. Our family's mansion is naturally given a quota. I'll use that quota to become your classmate..."
"..." Such a way exists?
"Since you're here, let's sit together. But... I really don't need your protection. Moreover, the academy is not a place for fighting. You have to be mindful of yourself."
"I know, Big Sister Qianxue."
"Don't call me that... Call my name directly."
"... Qianxue." Chu Pengfei's ears turned red.
After a period of silence, the discussions resumed in the surroundings.
Soon, an apple-faced cute girl blushed as she went in front of the three of them. "Miss Qianxue... Are you really Lou Qianxue? The Lou Qianxue who cured Zhen Guogong?"
Before Lou Qianxue could reply to her...
"Of course! Otherwise, why do you think I'm here?" Chu Pengfei was puzzled as he stared at the girl.
The girl became so frightened that her face turned pale. She staggered a few steps back.
"Why are you so fierce toward a classmate? She's not your soldier." After calmly rebuking Chu Pengfei, Lou Qianxue said to the girl, "Don't be afraid. Second Young Master from Zhen Guogong's mansion. who protects our Tian Zhao Empire, will not hurt the students of Tian Zhao for without any reason!"
The girl, who froze for a while, finally flashed a sweet smile. "Yeah. But, Qianxue, what exactly is your alchemist grade?"
"Um... fourth-grade." Any higher than that, and I'll become demonic.
"Wow!"
Gasps instantly rang in the surroundings.
Other students also came over one after another.
"Lou Qianxue looks so young, but she's actually a fourth-grade alchemist!!!"
"The whole Tian Zhao empire only has four fourth-grade alchemists. Furthermore, one of them recently died."
"I think that in the Tian Zhao Empire, only 'Jade-Masked Blast's' alchemy attainment is higher than that of Lou Qianxue."
All the students marveled with admiration and worship for Lou Qianxue.
"We're really lucky to be in the same class as Miss Qianxue, who's such a talented alchemist..."
"Yes, yes."
As everyone conversed...
"Cough cough cough."
Light coughing sounds reverberated in the classroom.
The crowd froze and looked toward the door one after another. They saw Teacher Mo, who had assessed them earlier. It immediately surprised them, and they went back to their seats one after another.
After waiting for everyone to take their seat, Teacher Mo slowly entered the classroom.
"Welcome to the Imperial academy. I'm your teacher, Mo Ci. From today onward, I'll be spending most of my time in the Imperial academy with you all... Everyone, introduce yourselves now."
All the students soon introduced themselves.
When it was Lou Qianxue's turn, Teacher Mo could not help himself from glancing at her. "She's Lou Qianxue? She cured Zhen Guogong? Strange, when I met her in Liuyun Prefecture, she looked different... At that time, she..."
