Chapter 403: Chapter 403: The Building That Carries the Weight of Life
Half an hour later,
Fu Si ca to pick up Chi Gui.
The two descended from upstairs, and as Chi Gui approached the bar, she didn’t see the envelope that was supposed to be there, “Hmm?”
“What’s wrong?” Fu Si, wearing a light-colored trench coat and tall in stature, stood beside Chi Gui, helping her carry her bag.
Chi Gui said, “The Alliance was supposed to have sent a letter over.”
The cleaning lady, overhearing Chi Gui, said in surprise, “That letter is yours? Why was it thrown on the ground unattended? I thought it was trash, so I threw it away… Ouch, what a ss… The trash bag is still outside, not yet taken away, maybe you can go look for it…”
Fu Si frowned slightly.
Qin Cheng, who was standing at the entrance, had already turned to walk outside, ready to rummage through the trash bags.
Chi Gui, however, didn’t seem to mind and stopped him, “It’s not very important, let it be if it’s lost.”
She spoke nonchalantly.
Fu Si and Qin Cheng, unfamiliar with the dical community’s affairs, also assud it was unimportant and didn’t bother any further.
This year’s entrance assessnt was set on the first floor of the dical Alliance headquarters.
Driving there, before even reaching the place, Qin Cheng could see from afar the towering dical Alliance building in the center of M Country’s city.
The building, a mixture of black and white, comprised twenty-three floors. Even across so distance, Qin Cheng could feel the solemnity emanating from the structure—
This tower of the dical Alliance, burdened with the weight of life, represented the entire M Country and was also a temple in the hearts of dical scholars worldwide.
By the ti they reached the front of the dical Alliance building, Qin Cheng parked the car with a touch of caution.
Chi Gui, however, felt nothing special. She got out of the car, took her bag from Fu Si with a polite thank you, and then walked into the dical Alliance building at an even pace.
Only the dical scholars themselves were allowed to enter for the assessnt; Fu Si could not follow, so he leaned against the car, watching Chi Gui walk up to the entrance of the dical Alliance building and present her credentials to the guard.
After checking, the guard opened the gate for her.
Chi Gui went inside.
Beside her, several other dical scholars were also there to be assessed, each with a tense, serious expression… Their anxiety was not only due to the assessnt but also due to a deep reverence for this holy site of dical scholars.
Chi Gui’s calm deanor stood out among these people.
Qin Cheng, standing next to Fu Si, couldn’t help but click his tongue, “Professor Chi truly doesn’t seem nervous at all… If one didn’t know better, they might think she’s just returning to her own ho!”
Fu Si couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
Indeed, her leisurely gait resembled that of soone returning ho!
Elsewhere,
Wang Jie had just seen Shi Liyun enter the building; as he walked back, he overheard Qin Cheng’s remark.
He thought of the letter from that morning and, feeling sowhat guilty, shrank his neck and skirted around the two to get back to his car.
Settled into the driver’s seat, he finally felt at ease to pull out his phone and send a ssage to his ntor and Shi Liyun’s master, Xue Mingqing, “Teacher, rest assured, Professor Shi has got this assessnt in the bag…”
Promptly, Xue Mingqing replied with concern, “What about Chi Gui?”
Wang Jie pressed his lips together before replying, “She’s definitely out of luck; she probably won’t even pass the assessnt… You don’t need to worry, she couldn’t possibly beco a competitor to Professor Shi…”
Seeing this ssage, Xue Mingqing laughed out loud and could no longer sit still; he stood up to book a flight.
Although he didn’t know what had happened in M Country, if Wang Jie could say this so determinedly, sothing must have gone wrong with Chi Gui.
As Xue Mingqing was booking his flight, Wu Zhiyuan walked in lazily with a thermos in hand.
He looked up at Wu Zhiyuan and humd with pride, “At the beginning, you looked down on Shi Liyun, thinking she was less talented than Chi Gui, but now it seems, my judgnt is a bit better than yours, haha!”
