The Ancient Realm Goddess
Niu Ren Plan
The next day the students started to return tokens that were used as a marker for the number of disciples. The organizing committee will count the collected tokens and from there they find out how many students might not return to the academy, whether it be due to death or something else. If someone loses a token then they will have to give a special note and it will be counted.
Qing Yue'er walked with Luo Qingqi to return the token. At that time some people were sitting in special chairs, they were the organizers who helped with this problem. The two girls walked over and stopped in front of the table. It just so happened that there was not so crowded, only a handful of disciples might have just returned the token.
"Is your group okay? I mean ... nobody had an accident or something," asked the man who was there.
"Everything is fine, Senior," Luo Qingqi said, "thank you for paying attention to us."
"Nr ...." The man seemed to breathe. "A lot of students are missing this time. Maybe in the next hunt we'll have to prepare everything."
Qing Yue'er nodded her head in agreement. Such a wild forest is very appropriate if it takes a lot of casualties. Many animals were never expected before. Who will know everything? It was only natural that many disciples who ended up having accidents might even die.
"How much?" luo Qingqi asked who was curious.
"It's still not sure, but it's not a little. You'll know soon after counting again."
Qing Yue'er quietly nodded. "alright. Then thank you, we'll be back." After that he and Luo Qingqi left from there. On the way back they met other students.
The disciples were shocked when they saw Qing Yue'er and Luo Qingqi. Of course they knew about the dragon that Qing Yue'er had conquered. And meeting people like that is something they think they can be proud of their friends.
"Isn't this Xinyu? I didn't expect to see you here" said one female student enthusiastically. His age was probably not much different from Qing Yue'er.
"Is there something?" Qing Yue'er asked.
"No, there's nothing." The female disciple seemed to shake her head and smiled awkwardly. However, after a while he seemed to remember something interesting. "Ah, but I just heard something. Said there were some people who would do the spirit beast test."
"Test spirit beasts?" Qing Yue'er raised the corner of her eyebrows. "Who? You mean the teacher's here?"
The female disciple nodded. "Yes, the teacher here will do it."
"Alright, thank you for the information," Qing Yue'er said as she patted the student on the shoulder.
"Not a problem at all. I'm glad this helps you." The student said quickly. It seemed like he was an admirer of Qing Yue'er, but that was also not necessarily so. It was possible that he was someone who would hug the thighs of a superior person?
Qing Yue'er didn't really care about him. He slightly smiled and resumed his journey with Luo Qingqi. "Are the people here so curious as to what the disciples got that they had to do a spirit beast test?"
Luo Qingqi was stunned. "I don't know. According to what I heard there was no such thing before."
"Then," Qing Yue'er blinked, "what do they want to know about something?"
Qing Yue'er and Luo Qingqi looked at each other for a moment. And then they say, "It's not a good thing."
"What about your snake?" qing Yue'er asked. "Have others seen it?"
"I'm not sure. What if someone has seen it?" Luo Qingqi became anxious.
"No .. don't worry. There's a lot we can do." Qing Yue'er calmed her friend down. For the time being he was already convinced that someone had discovered about the death of Ling Suyao and her comrades. Yes, they could have found the ashes and known the possibilities.
He smiled faintly. As he said, there are things he can do. Who does not know his wealth? Yes, he had something that could replace that snake for a while. Merely, he was not so sure whether or not someone had seen Luo Qingqi's spirit beast.
"It should be that the beast that had the fire attack was not only mine, right?" Luo Qingqi asked expectantly.
"Well, it should be like that." Qing Yue'er approved of Luo Qingqi's thought. In the academy whose students were not only one hundred and two hundred, there should be another spirit beast that had a fire attack. However, there are still things that bother. Some people definitely knew about the confrontation between his group and Ling Suyao. Yes, it happened at the school gate, just before they went to Ding town.
"I just want to give you a choice" Qing Yue'er said.
"Optional?"
Luo Qingqi stared in confusion. He followed Qing Yue'er in and closed the door tightly. "Replace with others? Meanin?"
Qing Yue'er smiled. Then he took out two of his little bears. Bright Feathers and Dark Feathers were hugged warmly by Qing Yue'er.
Seeing that made Luo Qingqi become astonished. According to her knowledge Qing Yue'er only had two divine beasts. However, it turned out that he was also still underestimating the girl. It turned out that there was another beast, these two bears. Yeah, it was really amazing. It turned out that it was not enough, the girl still had the others.
"Hows it? I will only let you choose," Qing Yue'er said to stop Luo Qingqi's daydreaming.
"I don't know." Luo Qingqi was worried.
"Then let's bet with this exchange. If others have seen your spirit beast then it just means we are not in luck" Qing Yue'er said. He knew if others had ever seen Luo Qingqi's white snake then they would be suspicious of the girl. The logic was that if Luo Qingqi did not feel fear or guilt the girl would not exchange her beasts.
However, it's not too simple. After all Ling Suyao and Luo Qingqi or rather with her group, had experienced friction in front of the academy. Not to mention, who did not know about their enmity with Lan Ying? Heavens, anyone would suspect that the one who killed Lan Ying was Luo Qingqi's spirit beast if the snake was displayed in public.
Luo Qingqi thought deeply. He was also thinking the same thing as Qing Yue'er. "Xinyu, but does this all have something to do with Ling Suyao's death?"
Qing Yue'er laughed. "Why do you have to ask this? Didn't you yourself say that years before there had never been a spirit beast test?"
"You're right." Luo Qingqi nodded. "It must be just their wits."
"That's not a hard thing to imagine. Maybe this is all they can do to investigate." Qing Yue'er said calmly. "Dark Feather, Bright Fur, you must greet him. From now on you will be with him for a while." He pushed his bears towards Luo Qingqi.
The bear was very obedient. The two of them immediately ran towards Luo Qingqi and tried to hug her feet. Of course Luo Qingqi felt astonished. It turns out that bear is so cute and adorable. He looked at Qing Yue'er in surprise. No one knew why the white-clothed girl could be so calm. Yeah, he shouldn't have to worry about anything either.
It was finally decided. They would use both of Qing Yue'er's bears to hide the white snake. This should be the only possible way.

Elsewhere, someone was sitting together with someone else. He was the teacher of He Jin, while the other one was a man who might be 25 years old or older. The man should have a firm face and look dignified. However, the slanted smile that was on her lips had made everything vanish.
"Teacher He, has everything been broadcast?" ask the man.
"Young Master Niu, as determined. The spirit beast test will be conducted tomorrow," He Jin said. He sipped the still steaming tea and perfumed the room.
"Good, I can't possibly let Suyao die in vain right? Did I make a mistake?" ask Niu Ren.
"No. If I were in your position then I would do the same."
"Yes." Yeah." Niu Ren poured the tea into his cup. "I hope it's human."
He Jin did not say anything more. He is also in a bad state. Of course he would agree to what Niu Ren was about to do. Who would argue with that guy anyway? Not many would dare to do so. Pretty good because the guy likes his student. Not enough, rather very good.
"Teacher He, I heard someone conquered a dragon" Niu Ren said. He heard this news from many people and had yet to find out the truth.
"Yes, it's a girl." He Jin looked at Nie Ren with a bit of uneasiness. "She's so pretty, I hope you won't heed her."
Niu Ren smiled slightly. He was quite interested when he heard that the one who conquered a dragon was a girl. However, there was not much expression on his face. He's actually a pretty calm guy. "Don't worry. How many beautiful women have I met? In the end I just liked Suyao."
He Jin was relieved. "That's good then."
"Baiklah, aku harus bertemu dengan ayah. Beliau harus sudah menungguku." Niu Ren berkata dengan santai sebelum akhirnya menghilang ke dalam udara kosong.
He Jin smiled wryly. Now his position had become threatened since Ling Suyao's death. However, there was not much he could do. Perhaps he could only hope that Niu Ren would not forget his existence.
