Chapter 2783 - 2783 Setting Up?
2783 Setting Up?
His expression contorted as he touched his throat, and his face instantly turned crimson.
“Why is there suddenly no sound?” The guards behind the mentor rushed over, glaring at the stoic figure.
“He was being too noisy,” Qiao Mu stated coldly. “I simply silenced him.”
“You!” The guards tried to respond but were silenced by Qiao Mu’s stern shout. “Do you want to be silenced too?”
Intimidated by her commanding demeanor, the guards hesitated, their words caught in their throats.
The stern-faced Director Qi Duo approached and gestured for the guards to step back.
“Show me your invitation letters.”
Without a word, Qiao Mu tossed her golden invitation letter at Director Qi Duo.
Crown Prince Mo’s mouth twitched slightly; he knew that Qiao Mu’s patience was running thin. If anything went awry, she would leave without hesitation, without concern for confrontation.
Director Qi Duo appeared displeased as he raised his hand to catch the invitation letter.
Upon seeing the crimson-gold invitation, a peculiar gleam passed through his eyes, and he directed his attention to the stoic student and their group.
“Oh, so you’re the students personally invited by Dean Yun.” No wonder he dared to be so arrogant; it seemed he had Dean Yun’s support.
Director Qi Duo was aligned with Associate Dean Yun, and their relationship with Dean Yun had always been strained, despite all three of them being part of the Yun Family.
Even though the Dean and the Assistant Dean were from the Yun Family, their relationship was far from harmonious.
The Director maintained a neutral expression, but his inner criticism couldn’t be silenced: Was it necessary to be so persistently troublesome when Dean personally invited them? Why not allow them to pass more easily? Did he not care about his reputation?
Meanwhile, the middle-aged mentor’s eyes widened in astonishment as he beheld the scarlet-gold invitation letter Qiao Mu had tossed. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and examined the letter with a puzzled expression.
/They actually possessed Dean Yun’s invitation letter?/
/Why didn’t they mention it earlier? Dean Yun’s invitation letter could exempt them from the entrance exam./
Qi Duo glanced at them indifferently before instructing Qiao Mu, “Very well, follow me for the examination.”
He turned and led them to the enormous stone tablets at the plaza’s entrance, pointing at them. “These testing tablets are known as Heaven and Earth Tablets, with the black and yellow variations.”
“Ordinary applicants typically use the yellow-level testing tablets. However, since you’ve been personally invited by Dean Yun, you are exceptional,” Qi Duo remarked casually. “You may use the heaven-level ones.”
It had been over a century since anyone in Tempest City had passed the heaven-level tablet examination. This time, I’ll ensure that you young individuals endure some hardships!
Normally, individuals with elemental spirits and five elemental spirits would employ the yellow-level testing tablets from the fifth to the sixth levels. Even if they dared to use the black-level ones, they risked a spiritual energy backlash or severe injuries.
Lying in front of the testing tablet was an absolute no-go. If someone inflated their abilities at the expense of Fatty’s pride, they would bear the consequences.
As for the heaven-level testing tablet, even those with grade-nine elemental spirits wouldn’t dare to use it. There had been a grade-nine student who used a spiritual wood elemental spirit, but he suffered a backlash, losing his elemental spirit and tarnishing his prodigious status. The loss outweighed the gain.
Qi Duo regarded Qiao Mu with a malicious gleam in his eye.
