Abandoned Princesses
Meet the Professors

Number one.

Gu Tianran's breathing restrained on its own.

So was Chu Yue. Right now his head is dizzy seven circumference. Even students who were in the second grade alone could be counted as fingers! But the nonanya actually managed to get into first grade?

Gu Tianran slowly normalized his breathing. He tried to hold back his curiosity. What kind of monster was this graceful woman in front of him?

There's only one person who can make a measuring crystal pull out a number one. And that was the current King of the Moon.

Most people thought that measuring crystals only measured one's abilities based on his protective spirit or cultivation level. However, it was already an open secret for the administrators of the academy that the measuring crystal was actually measuring one's potential.

And Gu Tianran had just been notified of it this morning as he prepared to start his first day of work.

"Miss Gu." Qiao Rong called Gu Tianran slowly.

Gu Tianran slightly shuddered as he still could not believe the result as soon as he heard Qiao Rong's voice. But he managed to pass a small nod.

"Please keep this a secret? You can tell the academy board that I am in first grade. But make a special request and put me in second grade." Qiao Rong put his index finger in front of his lips while smiling.

"W-what? B-but.." Gu Tianran was still speaking stammeringly. But given the fear he had just felt, Gu Tianran was forced to agree to Qiao Rong's words.

"h-huh.. What about your name?" Gu Tianran tried to stare into Qiao Rong's eyes directly. Although she was still frightened, she was convinced that the woman was not a bad person after seeing her treatment of Song Linmei earlier.

"Hua Rong," Qiao Rong replied with a smile looking at Chu Yue's puzzled face after he flashed his answer.

A short while later, Gu Tianran finally finished registering the two women. Of course, not forgetting the entrance registration fee that Qiao Rong had already paid.

"Please bring this paper to the hostel, you can directly read the directions. In the meantime, I'll try to talk about your request to the academy leader." Gu Tianran bowed and invited Chu Yue and Qiao Rong to go towards the right after giving two sheets of paper to each of them.

Chu Yue walked happily following Qiao Rong from behind. Five minutes later, they arrived at the building that read dormitory. Unexpectedly, even though the Crescent Academy was so vast, the directions were so clear that students would not easily get lost.

Qiao Rong walked slowly towards the female hostel room and handed over her and Chu Yue's paper. Yan Jinghua, the middle-aged housekeeper lady directly gave them a room key.

The dormitory room of the Crescent Moon Academy was indeed standard. Students who do not live in Moon City can rent a dormitory until graduation at a relatively cheap price. Even ordinary people would not be too burdened with the set price.

The dormitory room consists of two adjoining mattresses, bounded by a drawer and a separate practice room and a bathroom. In addition, there are many other furniture that is already a necessity, such as cabinets and dressers.

Dormitory tenants will inevitably get roommates. Fortunately, Qiao Rong had come with Chu Yue.

"Well! Your Majesty! Look at this room! Even wider than the ladies' room in the palace." Chu Yue looked enthusiastic and started to tidy up their luggage.

"Well, not so bad." Qiao Rong smiled.

"But why did you change your name, Your Majesty?" Chu Yue asked in confusion.

Qiao Rong just pinched the girl's nose slowly.

"This is not Nanshan Village, in such a small village, people will not pay attention to the Qiao clan. But this isn't just any place, is it? Also, don't forget to call me Brother."

Chu Yue smiled shyly and retrained herself to summon Qiao Rong as 'Sister'.

*****

The next morning went smoothly, breakfast was delivered directly to the dormitory of students who had not yet fully officially become students of the Crescent Moon Academy. For other students, there is a cafeteria next to Professor Ji's class.

The unlucky one was Gu Tianran.

Ever since he told Qiao Rong's request to the professors at the meeting last night, everyone in the meeting room was crazy.

"Is anyone in first class?!"

"How's this? We never prepare anything for first class."

"What?! Want to go to second grade???"

"Which crazy person is—"

And so forth.

Gu Tianran who was panting heavily arrived in front of the door of Qiao Rong's room. Then he cleared up his appearance first, taking a deep breath. And finally knocked on the door slowly.

As soon as the word 'entered' came from inside the room, Gu Tianran slowly opened the door.

Qiao Rong who was at the dresser looked very elegant even with the simple clothes she was carrying.

"The professors invite you to an emergency meeting later in the afternoon." Gu Tianran cleared his throat. If only he were a male, it would have been stunned first by Qiao Rong's appearance.

"All right." Qiao Rong replied briefly.

That afternoon, Gu Tianran actually brought him into the meeting room of the Crescent Academy which should only be allowed to enter by teachers. Qiao Rong was an exception.

One by one Gu Tianran introduced the group of people to him.

Professor Ji, history and culture class.

Professor Luo, a class of cultivation techniques and theories.

Professor Tang, the protective and spiritual spirit class.

Professor Yun, herb and herb classes.

And Professor Zi, the alchemy class.

It was just the names of the core professors who would teach in their respective classes. While the rest was the academy council, as the Moon King's representative.

They all looked at Qiao Rong with various gazes. Some looked at him strangely, astonished, even the look of disbelief he found among the crowd.

There was one thing in the room that made Qiao Rong somewhat disappointed with the Crescent Academy.

Crystal gauge.

As soon as he saw that thing, Qiao Rong immediately knew that his purpose here was not actually to talk about his desire to attend second grade.

"I guess Miss Hua Rong already knows what we mean. Please." Professor Tang, once aware of Qiao Rong's gaze heading towards the measuring crystal, immediately let Qiao Rong advance forward and made the atmosphere of the room quiet.

Once again, Qiao Rong placed his hand on the measuring crystal again just like yesterday.

Number one.

The result remains the same as it is.

Professor Zi's eyes widened. Finally the Crescent Academy found a first-rate student after hundreds of years of establishment. Of course, other than the current Moon King who was not a student of the academy at all.

"Ehem!" Professor Tang cleared his throat. Fortunately, with his dehumanization it seemed like he had managed to free everyone else from their respective daydreams.

"Can we now talk about my request?" Qiao Rong spoke firmly.

Everyone in the room looked embarrassed. How dare they doubt measuring crystals just because they do not see the results with their own eyes?

"Please." As soon as Professor Tang spoke, Qiao Rong already did not hold back anymore.

"I know clearly you never prepare first class. Therefore, for my own convenience, I volunteered to join the second grade disciples.

I also requested a special request to Professor Tang. I will still be attending your protective spirit class. But it will never bring out my protective spirit."

As soon as Qiao Rong finished speaking, Professor Tang, who had been a calm person, was now astonished.

He also knew how difficult it would be to teach a disciple who did not tell their protective spirit type, let alone not let him see clearly.

However he could not let the academy lose its only prospective first-grade disciple. Reluctantly but unwillingly, he finally agreed.

The other professors one after another also agreed with Qiao Rong's request.

The meeting that afternoon was over.
