The Ancient Realm Goddess
A Trick

Time goes on for so long. When the few remaining disciples were marching, Qing Yue'er and Luo Qingqi finally entered back into the field and waited for their turn. The scorching sun had made the heat but they could handle it easily.

When Luo Qingqi's turn arrived, she finally took out the two bears she had borrowed from Qing Yue'er. Her feelings become nervous, afraid that others will find out the trick. Suddenly he heard a loud voice from behind. "If you're nervous, maybe they'll be suspicious."

He finally managed to calm down. He took the two small bears towards the monument that was available. He pulled each bear's hand and attached it to the transparent surface of the monument. After that the monument shone brightly. A writing appeared there, that is, the ground.

Luo Qingqi did not understand him that much. Perhaps the intent of the attack used by the two bears was to make use of the ground. It's like the elements in the world. Finally he took a breath and took the two little bears. He looked at Qing Yue'er for a while before finally going to group himself into the group of earth-elemental spirit beasts.

Now Qing Yue'er's turn arrived. He looked at the teachers. "Do I have to take the dragon out? You all know that, right?"

He Jin took this opportunity. "You certainly can't miss this test. Do you think it's only because your animals are so amazing that you can behave as you please?"

Qing Yue'er chuckled, making anyone instantly turn their face to look at her. They all must have been amazed. This was one of the three new beauties and this one was the one who seemed to be the luckiest.

"I heard the purpose of this test was to check whether all of them already had decent contract beasts or not. Old man, everyone already knows about my golden dragon and it is well deserved. So what exactly do you want?" Qing Yue'er looked at He Jin with her head tilted. "Or .. Do you have another purpose?"

He Jin's face immediately stiffened. He did not like the fact that the girl had a dragon. And now, it turned out that the girl could also think carefully like this. Is he too blatant? No, he thought he wasn't bad at acting.

"So you want to argue?!" He Jin exclaimed unhappily.

Niu Ren who was next to He Jin immediately cleared his throat. He looked at Qing Yue'er meaningfully. "no need. You don't have to do that test."

He Jin looked at Niu Ren with a sour face. If the man had already said no need then he could not say anything. So he just snorted and let the girl be free just like that.

"Old He, why don't you like him so much? Isn't what Xinyu said the truth? Don't tell me you want to take the dragon away from him." Suddenly Peng Liang said from the side. That remark certainly made He Jin even more unhappy.

"Do you think I'm that greedy?" He Jin looked at Peng Liang with a frown.

After that what happened was just a debate of the elders. Qing Yue'er had no intention of lingering. So he just looked at Niu Ren and blinked one eye beautifully. His lips lifted into a thin smile and he waltzed away without even doing a spirit beast test.

His actions that were so bold made Niu Ren speechless. It was undeniable that she was truly interested in that beauty. However, he couldn't possibly deny his own words right? If He Jin knew this for sure the old man would not stay silent. After all, the old man must have his own thoughts

He did not know how He Jin was actually behaving. However, if the old man knew of his feelings that could change at any moment, who would know what might be planned?

After that finally the spirit beast test was completed. It turned out that there were many disciples who had spirit beasts with fire attacks. There might be about fifty people. That's a lot of numbers. They were all driven to an unknown place.

Of course the action made the disciples ask in surprise. What will the academy do? What exactly did the academy side only want to gather beasts with fire attacks? Why should they hide such intentions?

No one really knew, except for Qing Yue'er and Luo Qingqi. However, the two girls would definitely not say anything. The two of them finally walked over to leave the field. There's nothing to do there.

"Sister Luo, how did your beast turn into two bears?" Suddenly a voice that Qing Yue'er was familiar with sounded from behind. He and Luo Qingqi immediately turned around. There Jing Ling was staring at the two in surprise.

Luo Qingqi watched the surroundings. It was fortunate that it was already quiet there so no one heard Jing Ling's question. He also breathed with relief. However, his lips became pouted when he saw Jing Ling.

Noticing Qing Yue'er and Luo Qingqi's unusual expressions, Jing Ling became astonished. He stared confusedly at the two people. "Did I make a mistake? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Yes, you're stupid." Qing Yue'er sneered.

"How could I be stupid? I just don't know why the beast Luo ...."

"Will you talk again?"

Jing Ling closed her mouth and smiled shyly. "You should have told me something, right?"

"Follow it," Luo Qingqi said. Then he and Qing Yue'er continued on their way. Behind them, Jing Ling followed with a wandering mind. Perhaps only the girl like her still did not understand what was going on.

After arriving in front of the dormitory Luo Qingqi immediately explained what their vigilance was. He was astonished why Jing Ling could not think of getting there. "Do you understand now?"

Jing Ling nodded. He looked at Qing Yue'er in astonishment. "So you have another spirit beast?" Qing Yue'er simply nodded lazily. Jing Ling gaped before cheering in astonishment. "Great! I wonder, how many other great things have you hidden from others?"

"That's certainly a secret," Qing Yue'er said, "by the way where is Ming Yuxia?"

"The girl has other business, I don't know." Jing Ling shook her head. Just now he said suddenly a knock on the door sounded. Luo Qingqi immediately opened the door. There stood a disciple who still looked foreign.

"Do you need anything?" asked Luo Qingqi.

"I just want to convey a message, young master Niu wants to meet Xinyu. This afternoon at his residence," said the disciple politely.

Luo Qingqi frowned. He turned his head to look at Qing Yue'er. The girl he was staring at was staring at the disciple standing in front of the door. "What if I don't come?"

"If you don't come then he will come here."

Qing Yue'er nodded in understanding. "Well, I'll see him later." Then the student left. Qing Yue'er smiled faintly. Has he caught her now?

"Why does Niu Ren want to see you? It seems like he is so pushy," Luo Qingqi said in surprise. "He couldn't possibly know that we killed Ling Suyao, right?"

"I don't think so. I always believe Xinyu always gets things done well." Jing Ling rejected Luo Qingqi's thoughts.

"We'll find out after I come. There was no need to worry about things that were still vague," Qing Yue'er said. He did not think the murder was known. After all he had done his best to leave his mark.

***

When it was late afternoon, Qing Yue'er finally walked out of the dormitory. He walked calmly towards a place he had never expected. Yes, this is something that is outside the plan. But he also has another purpose.

After walking for some time he finally stopped in front of the large residence. There were several guards standing outside the door. When they saw Qing Yue'er, they immediately put up a guard. "Who are you?"

"I am Xinyu, your master wants me to come here," Qing Yue'er said calmly.

Qing Yue'er followed the person until it ended up in a pavilion. The pavilion was above a very beautiful pond. There are many flowering lotuses growing on the surface of the pond. This is indeed different from the atmosphere of the academy which is fairly crowded and pengang. It is perfect for relaxing or self-reflecting.

"Miss, please wait a minute. Young Master Niu will be here soon."

Qing Yue'er nodded and entered the pavilion. He sat looking at the pool that was quite comfortable to look at. The person who drove him away had already said a few words.

"Girl, don't try to get close to others." Suddenly another voice came to his mind.

Qing Yue'er smiled faintly. The thought of flirting with the man. "Why indeed? I'm free to do anything."

Mo Jingtian snorted. "Yes, you're free to do anything."

"So can I approach the man? He looks quite handsome," Qing Yue'er said.

"You can approach him." Mo Jingtian's voice turned cold.

"really?" Qing Yue'er asked in surprise. She did not expect an answer like this to come out of Mo Jingtian's mouth. His eyes became dim.

"Then, you'll see the body tomorrow morning."

Qing Yue'er immediately chuckled. "Why are you so cruel?"

"I hope you will also do the same if there is a woman approaching me," Mo Jingtian said casually. His voice was not as cold as before.

"I don't want to hear it. There aren't. There would be no such thing." Qing Yue'er immediately rejected that thought. He refused to think about the possibilities that were troubling him.

Mo Jingtian simply smiled. He did not say anything more until Niu Ren finally arrived at the pavilion where Qing Yue'er was. The man now looked more relaxed than when he was in front of the other students.

"Miss Xinyu, I'm sure you'll come to see me" he said.

Qing Yue'er smiled. "I really should come, right? There is no way I will let Young Master Niu come to see me. Ah, it'll probably make a fuss over there."

Niu Ren nodded happily. He sat down before Qing Yue'er. The movement is indeed authoritative, like a good candidate leader. "I'm glad that finally there's a disciple who can conquer a divine beast."

Qing Yue'er did not say anything, just an ordinary smile. Then Niu Ren continued on again. "I feel salute. A student like you should be given an award."

"Is that not too much? I don't think there's anything to exaggerate. It's just my good luck." Qing Yue'er said politely. It made their difference in status so obvious.

"Luck is also admirable. Not everyone is like that" Niu Ren said. He saw this girl in front of him getting more and more beautiful.

"Then thank you, Young Master Niu."

"You don't need to be polite like that. After all, the academy needs talented people like you."

Qing Yue'er chuckled. "I'm actually wondering why Young Master would want me to come here."

Niu Ren smiled. "Do you need a reason if you want to do something? I think I want to get to know you further. Yeah, that's it."

That remark made Qing Yue'er achieve victory. He nodded in understanding. Then next he always answered what Niu Ren was asking implicitly. Ah, the man was very clear when approaching someone.

However, when the day had already turned to dusk, Qing Yue'er's face became unsightly. There was anxiety on his face. That made Niu Ren ask, "What happened?"

Qing Yue'er seemed to flinch. "It's nothing."

"You have a worried mind. Why didn't you tell me?" Niu Ren asked in a demanding manner.

Qing Yue'er looked doubtful for a moment. After a while, he finally opened his mouth. "Since I came home from the hunt for spirit beasts, I've always felt anxious."

"Is something bothering you?"

Qing Yue'er nodded. "I don't know, but it's been a few days that someone came to disturb me in the middle of the night. He wants to harm me. Lucky I could always avoid it, but who would know when I'd be able to let my guard down?" His face looked worried and uncomfortable.

Niu Ren felt moved to see the state of the girl in front of him. He looked so weak, as if it required someone to protect him. How could she allow that beauty to become so helpless? Finally he asked, "Can't you beat him?"

"That's impossible. He disappeared so fast. It seems like his strength is much higher than mine, but I wonder why he didn't directly hurt me. Maybe she wants something?" Qing Yue'er muttered in confusion.

"It shouldn't just be left alone." Niu Ren sighed. "Have you found anything out of him?"

Qing Yue'er immediately nodded. Then he picked up a dagger that looked innocent. "I just managed to find this. How am I supposed to find out?"

Niu Ren took it and examined it carefully. His eyes closed for a moment. "I can help you."

"Are you serious?" Qing Yue'er asked unconvinced.

"Yes, I'll help you. So don't worry. I will definitely find out who did it" Niu Ren said to reassure Qing Yue'er.

A sweet smile splashed on Qing Yue'er's lips. It was so easy to use someone. "thank you. I will definitely remember your kindness, Young Master."

"It's nothing." Niu Ren smiled.

After that Qing Yue'er said goodbye to return to the dormitory because it was already dark. In addition, he was also reluctant to linger with the man. How could there be a man so easy to tease? Aih, it's not worth being a lover.

Niu Ren stared at Qing Yue'er's departure with a happy smile. He does not know that he is actually being used by a lazy girl to find her own perpetrators.
