Chapter 47 (1/2)
47 – Admission (I)
Jumbled discussions rose around her.
After she opened her eyes slightly irritably, Xue Qilin sat up on the bed and yawned, “So noisy …”
While scratching her sleepy head, the little girl looked at the sky, “Oh, it's so late already?”
It's already late in the morning.
If it hasn't suddenly become noisy outside, Xue Qilin would have probably not gotten up yet. Without Qi Qiqi's supervision, her lazy nature emerged again.
After some simple grooming and changing her clothes, Xue Qilin stretched herself, then exited her quarters and walked towards the source of noise that woke her.
“…!” When she went around the corner, the scenery in the yard entered her eyes instantly. Xue Qilin was stunned all of a sudden.
People, there are people everywhere. There are all kinds of people, and all are young and strong. After a rough count, Xue Qilin discovered that there are about 40 people.
“They aren't all here for the recruitment, are they?” Xue Qilin murmured. She didn't expect that there would be so many people.
Then, she narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at the people who have come for the recruitment.
Most of these people don't have true qi. In other words, they haven't entered the Human Realm yet. As for apt.i.tude, Xue Qilin couldn't tell. Although many Heaven Realm masters have the ability to judge a person's potential to practice martial arts from their physique, bus this insight is based on a wealth of martial arts knowledge and experience. Xue Qilin who halfway has become a martial pract.i.tioner, she naturally doesn't have this insight.
“Ah?” Xue Qilin's gaze suddenly stopped on a boy and a girl.
They look a bit similar, probably siblings.
The girl is older, about 13 or 14 years old, has a pet.i.te figure, with her height similar to Xue Qilin's, and her appearance is still a bit childish.
Hanging loosely from the right back side of the head, the long black hair simply tied together winds around the left shoulder and hangs in front of the chest.
The slightly upturned corners of the eyes make her look particularly confident and elegant. From the l.u.s.trous black eyes, a firm resolve, an unyielding resolve that is incongruous with the young age can be made out.
By contrast, the little boy beside her has another kind of charm – pure like white paper.
From his appearance, the boy should be less than 10 years old.
Although the face is immature, yet there's a difficult to hide elegance. The pair of big eyes looking around as if filled with curiosity about the world are both quick-witted and lovable.
“Hey hey hey, that's pretty good! Just a step away.” Xue Qilin nodded with satisfaction. She felt faint true qi from the pair of siblings.
Although they haven't entered the Human Realm yet, but it's not far away.
She moved her gaze again, trying to find some other interesting candidates.
Then…
“Junior Disciple Sister, you got up!”
Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw Qian Duoduo walk around the crowd.
This disciple who just entered the inner temple and took Ye Zhen as his teacher is straightforward, and often has a bright smile on his face. It's really hard to imagine that he would have such a sordid merchant name [1].
This should be a case of “unworthy of one's name” – Xue Qilin sighed.
“Morning! Qian Duo…”
Qian Duoduo suddenly winked.
Xue Qilin was startled at first, and then immediately realized what the other party meant.
“Cough! Senior Disciple Brother Qian.” She called awkwardly.
“Good, Junior Disciple Sister Xue.” Qian Duoduo gave the little girl a big smile.
Then, as if he found something, his expression suddenly became that of confusion.
“Junior Disciple Sister, why haven't you combed your hair into the usual hairstyle today?”
“Um, it's a bit troublesome, so I just changed my hairstyle.”
