Chapter 127 - Mu Liufeng Left Too (2/2)

Could this be somehow related to the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on the emperor? Ling Chuxi frowned slightly as she contemplated this. Yet, she felt it was probably not so. Mu Liufeng’s gaze was one that showed he didn’t have such concerns.

“What are you thinking about, Chuxi?” asked Ling Yichen suddenly. Ling Chuxi had remained silent the entire time the two of them were walking. Thus, Ling Yichen could not take it anymore and decided to ask her what was on her mind.

“Huh? Oh, nothing much,” said Ling Chuxi as she shook her head gently. “Ah, that’s right. You’re at Level 6 Pinnacle stage right now, aren’t you, Yichen?”

“Yes, I am,” replied Ling Yichen with a slight frown and a troubled expression. He had plateaued at that level for some time without being able to breakthrough. He just couldn’t seem to get the right elements to come together at the right time for it to happen.

“Let’s find a time during the break to make you breakthrough,” said Ling Chuxi suddenly as she kept walking straight ahead. Her tone of voice was so calm and ordinary that it sounded as though she had offered to buy him a meal.

“What?” said Ling Yichen, stunned. He looked at Ling Chuxi’s retreating back and immediately rushed forward to catch up to her. What did she mean? It wasn’t as though one could breakthrough just by merely wanting to. Some people were stuck at a certain level’s Pinnacle stage for ten or twenty years, and some were not able to breakthrough at all for their entire lives. Breaking through to the next level was an opportunity that was difficult to come by. It wasn’t something that could be achieved by mere desire or hard work. But now, Ling Chuxi was speaking such words in such a relaxed tone. This made Ling Yichen a little perplexed.

“When does break start?” asked Ling Chuxi as she looked at Ling Yichen.

“The day after tomorrow” replied Ling Yichen. The way it worked at White Stone Academy was that students had cla.s.ses for seven days straight before getting a two-day break.

“Okay, that works. Let’s make a trip the day after tomorrow then,” said Ling Chuxi as she came to a decision.

“Chuxi, do you even know what you’re saying?” enquired Ling Yichen hesitantly as he frowned slightly.

“Of course, I do,” said Ling Chuxi as she turned to look at Ling Yichen with a smile. “I said I would be able to help you breakthrough, so I will definitely be able to help you breakthrough!”
