Chapter 966: Chapter 966: Master Yipiao
Ya Ling’s talent was in fact quite remarkable, but she always believed that Alchemy and forging had no use for the study of Magic, which is why she never practiced them after class, far less proficient than Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi erged as a dark horse, while Ya Ling had to toil till deep in the night, trying countless tis before she finally managed to split ten rocks and kept the Longsword entirely intact.
Wu Duo looked at Ya Ling’s forged Longsword; the quality was much inferior to Qin Sisi’s, but it was good enough to pass, so he nodded, allowing her to leave the class.
And with that, this sester’s study of Magic ca to an end.
According to Heavenly Magic God’s Castle’s arrangents, after completing the tenth round of learning, since this round was particularly intensive, consuming a great deal of physical strength and magical power, they were given two days to rest before starting the final assessnt.
During these two days of rest, Qin Sisi was unexpectedly not as diligent as usual, only visiting the trial tower once each day and spending the afternoons practicing forging in her room.
It was not only about maintaining ample physical energy but also about having a more relaxed state of mind, allowing her to et the final assessnt in the best possible condition.
The usually carefree Xiao ng had now beco nervous, staying in the trial tower very late every day.
The next afternoon, Qin Sisi persuaded her to sit down and rest for a while.
"Sister Sisi, aren’t you... afraid?" Xiao ng asked curiously, looking at Qin Sisi’s calm face.
While polishing a newly forged Longsword with a soft cloth, Qin Sisi asked nonchalantly, "Why should I be afraid?"
Xiao ng sighed, her brows slightly furrowed, and said, "I have two sisters, and although my father doesn’t say it, we all know he really wants a son to inherit his position as Clan Leader. I was not convinced, why should only n be Clan Leaders? I want to perform well to show him that I’m no less than a son, but I’m also afraid that I won’t do well enough."
Qin Sisi lifted her head to look at Xiao ng, her lips pursed slightly, and felt a small surprise in her heart, finding it unexpected that Xiao ng, who seed to care little about everything, also had such disappointnts.
After thinking for a mont, Qin Sisi comforted her warmly, "Don’t worry, you have always been hardworking, and I’m sure you’ll do great."
Xiao ng, feeling embarrassed, scratched the back of her head and said, "I’m far from comparing to you, Sister Sisi. To be honest, I really admire you, you work so hard every day, aren’t you tired?"
Qin Sisi smiled without responding.
Tired? How could she not be? But she had no choice; there was no turning back for her.
Even if Xiao ng perford poorly, she would still be the treasured daughter of the Muyin family, and her future life would always be good.
As for her, except for her feelings for Ye You, she had nothing else, only her own efforts to forge the future she wanted.
She believed in Ye You’s affection, but she feared the unpredictable tribulations that lied ahead; affection alone was not enough.
Affection was vital, but so was power, in order to get what she wanted.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the final assessnt finally arrived.
On this day, all the teachers and students of Heavenly Magic God’s Castle Heaven Academy gathered at Tianyi Mountain, ushering in the beginning of these students’ first final assessnt.
Qin Sisi finally saw the true master of Heavenly Magic God’s Castle—Master Yipiao.
Before him sat an elderly man, his white beard dangling down to his chest, leisurely perched on a grand Taishi Chair. His beard was indeed lush, but the top of his head was completely smooth, not a single hair to be found, making his appearance sowhat comical.
Behind him stood in a single file the twelve teachers of the Heaven Academy’s Magic curriculum, their expressions more serious and solemn than usual.
Qin Sisi and her eight companions walked over together, lining up to bow to the teachers opposite them. Their smiles were subdued, and their deanors respectful and courteous.
Master Yipiao rely lifted his eyelids to glance at them, said nothing, and just took a sip from the glittering golden gourd in his hand.
Qin Sisi slled the scent of alcohol, but since the other teachers all stood quietly behind Master Yipiao, making no move, her gaze stayed on him, realizing that the beautiful gourd contained wine.
Feeling Qin Sisi’s gaze upon him, Master Yipiao looked back at her, his eyes swimming with a hint of drunkenness as they roved over her, then he turned to ask Yu Sha beside him, "Is this the girl who’s got Ye You head over heels?"
He made no attempt to lower his voice; loud and clear as a drake’s, everyone present heard him, and various gazes, filled with different emotions, shot towards Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi couldn’t help but think, how could this Master Yipiao be so... inappropriate? Didn’t he have a bit of the air of a perfected sage or the bone of immortality?
Yu Sha’s expression also stiffened slightly, she nodded and replied, "Yes."
Master Yipiao, with a smile on his face, looked at Qin Sisi for a while and then asked in his booming voice, "Girl, do you think I’m drunk?"
Qin Sisi was taken aback for a mont, her mind quickly spinning, she replied with neither servility nor overbearance, "Wine doesn’t intoxicate; it’s the individual’s own doing. Whether drunk or sober, it’s all in the Master’s mind—you can be drunk if you wish, or sober if that’s your preference."
"Ha ha ha..." Master Yipiao laughed heartily, "Interesting, girl. Another question for you, how do you like my Heavenly Magic God’s Castle?"
This ti, Qin Sisi did not hesitate and replied aloud, "It’s good."
"What’s good about it?" Master Yipiao’s eyes, blurry with drunkenness, looked at her, his expression utterly serious.
Qin Sisi thought for a mont and said, "At Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, I’ve learned a lot, which makes it more possible for
to achieve the future I desire."
But Master Yipiao was not letting it go and continued to probe, "What kind of future do you want?"
This ti, Qin Sisi was silent for a long ti before she softly breathed out two words: "Ye You."
"How shaless," Ya Ling muttered under her breath, already boiling with anger inside.
Her father had told her in no uncertain terms that he hoped she’d work hard to make Ye You fall for her, to beco the future Queen of Demon Sacred Realm.
Ya Ling was naturally willing, and not just willing, but eagerly so.
Ye You was so handso; he was truly the brightest light of the Demon Sacred Realm, and moreover, he was the exalted His Royal Highness, the future Sage Ruler.
To beco Ye You’s wife, to beco the Queen of Demon Sacred Realm, was a dream Ya Ling had harbored since childhood.
At the age of ten, Ya Ling, following her father, visited the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle to see her sister Ya Ning and happened upon Ye You. That’s when her dream began.
But a little girl’s fantasy is of little concern to others, especially when she has an elder sister who is more outstanding than herself, a sister who is a classmate of Ye You’s and can spend ti with him day and night.
