Chương 21: Magical Beast Hunting Competition
Biên tập viên: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Qingxuan Academy? Wasn't that the academy that the previous owner of this body was attending? Yun Qingyan stroked her chin and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Qingxuan Academy was the best academy in all of the Beian Nation, and of course, there was no way that Yun Qingyan could have gotten in with this useless constitution of hers.
Since Baili Qingxue was in Qingxuan Academy, Yun Qingyan had kicked up a big fuss about enrolling in that academy. Grand Master Yun had no choice but to give the academy several treasures to secure a space for her.
Even though Yun Qingyan successfully got into the academy, she suffered humiliation because she was completely useless. Her act of running incessantly after Baili Qingxue every single day made her the laughingstock of the entire academy.
"Grandpa, let me have a look too." Yun Qingyan stuck her head out and looked at the envelope that was sealed with gold paint.
Grand Master Yun's eyes fell on the letter and read the words quickly. The more he read, the darker his expression became.
The letter was to hurry Yun Qingyan to join Qingxuan Academy's annual Magical Beast Hunting Competition.
Included, there was a warning stating that any student who refused to join the competition would have to leave the school.
"Qingyan, let's not attend this stupid Qingxuan Academy, alright? Your Grandpa is the most highly skilled fighter in The Beian Nation, so I'll teach you personally, ok?"
Grand Master Yun looked very conflicted.
The Magical Beast Hunting Competition was held in the Forest of No Return. And what sort of place was the Forest of No Return?
That was one of the four most dangerous places on this continent. Many Elementalists had gone in and never came back.
If his petite granddaughter went in there, wasn't she just sending herself to die?
Yun Qingyan could see the worry in Grand Master Yun's heart and there was a faint warmth that rose in her heart.
A gleam flashed across her eyes. Even without this hunting competition, she had to go to the Forest of No Return anyway. This competition had come at just the right time, so she definitely had to go for it.
"Grandpa." Yun Qingyan held Grand Master Yun's hands and looked extremely serious as she tilted her head and asked, "What will happen if I don't go?"
Before Grand Master Yun could reply, Yun Qingyan's tiny face immediately tensed up and her eyes grew cold. "I'll be expelled from Qingxuan Academy and will have no choice but to crawl home like a loser, and I'll become the laughingstock of the entire country."
Yun Qingyan looked up at Grand Master Yun. "So I must go. Even if I might not win, I have to go. I have to uphold the spirit of the Yun family. No member of the Yun family will retreat or shrink back just because we don't have confidence."
Each word she said was loud and firm, and they crashed hard against Marquis Yun's heart like a heavy hammer.
Guanghan clutched his sword more tightly and there was a tinge of emotion in his cold and black eyes that even he had trouble detecting.
"Qingyan." Marquis Yun looked at the young lady before him whose face was incredibly determined, and his resigned heart slowly started to gain momentum once more.
Indeed, the spirit of the Yun family!
"Besides, there will be teachers around, right? They wouldn't let anything bad happen to me," Yun Qingyan said with a smile as she fluttered her eyes.
"You…" Grand Master Yun looked helplessly at Yun Qingyan, but there was some comfort in the old man's eyes.
"Oh forget it, your temperament is just like your father's. Once he's decided on something, not even ten bulls could hold him back." Grand Master Yun shook his head and used his large and wide palm to gently caress Yun Qingyan's head.
Yun Qingyan looked up at Grand Master Yun and there was a cheeky glint in her black eyes as she grinned and said, "Nah, I'm more like Grandpa."
The stubbornness of Marquis Yun of the Beian Nation was so extreme that even the emperor had to give in to him.
Grand Master Yun was taken by surprise by these words and pretended to look angry as he glared at Yun Qingyan. "Qingyan, you're making fun of your Grandpa too?!"
After saying that, he laughed at himself and patted Yun Qingyan's head. "Ten bulls can't hold Grandpa back, but one Qingyan is enough to do that."
Everyone in the Beian Nation heard about how Marquis Yun of the Yun Mansion loved his grandchild more than himself, and that was no mere rumor.
"Teehee!" Yun Qingyan held Marquis Yun's hands and smiled pleasingly.
Grand Master Yun patted her head, then said to Guanghan who was standing to the side with his sword, "Han, I'll have to bother you to send Qingyan to Qingxuan Academy."
"Yes, Marquis Yun," Guanghan replied with his eyes on the floor.
