Chapter 3078 - 91: Sigh...

Chapter 3078: Chapter 91: Sigh...

The book says, a fortunate person can use their childhood to heal their entire life, while an unfortunate person must use their entire life to heal their childhood.

Poseidon is uncertain whether her childhood was fortunate or unfortunate.

But she knows that the scene of being beaten alongside Ding Ding that day will be firmly etched in her mind, likely requiring her entire lifetime to forget.

Facing such a heavy psychological shock at a young age had made her much more disciplined recently.

The midday sun was just right, and she sat properly at her desk, copying from the 300 Basic Runes published by the Alliance’s Standard Talisman Committee. While practicing the trapping rune, she couldn’t help but think of that night and let out a deep sigh.

ε=(′ο｀*)))

But before the sigh was even finished, it was interrupted by a series of pitter-patter footsteps.

Su Ya, holding up her skirt, excitedly crossed the small garden and came to her window, tiptoeing and quietly calling out, "Dong Dong! Dong Dong! The grass spirits that moved into the garden today have given us a four-leaf clover! It’s super super pretty! Do you want it?"

Poseidon looked sadly at the piece of amber on her wrist.

There was a lucky grass inside the amber, but it hadn’t brought her any luck!

"—No, you keep it to play with yourself."

She hummed weakly, a slight flick of the pen sealing the foot of the trapping rune, then sighed and carefully put away the feather pen in her hand.

The feather pen was made from the soft fur that had fallen from her own tail, collected one by one, and was extremely handy to use, so it was very cherished by her.

"—Your timing is just right."

Poseidon picked up a ruby ring from the desk, leaned out the window and handed it out, with a languid expression: "The Seven Sins sent a message, that Atlas Tuki Sect follower ended up as a blood servant to the Blake family... so the jade coin I invested is gone, remember to deduct it from the public account."

Seeing the ring, Su Ya instinctively withdrew her hand, subconsciously shrinking back and looking around like a thief.

But after listening to Poseidon’s words, she immediately forgot her fear.

"One jade coin! Just like that, gone?" she exclaimed, her face full of heartache: "I have to wipe the floors of the mansion for a month to earn one jade coin! And it’s just gone like that?"

"Oh."

"—No wonder you got hung up and beaten!" The little boat of friendship capsized just like that.

Upon hearing this, Poseidon instantly became displeased, her ears perked up: "Didn’t we agree back then? If we make it, we split it evenly, if we lose, we fill the gap with the money from the piggy bank... how is it suddenly my fault?"

But she forgot, the other side also had ears.

Su Ya’s ears also perked up.

"—Back then, we only said to ’invest’ in the school hunting competition! We didn’t say to waste money in the Seven Sins!"

In the mansion, she didn’t dare to utter the word ’gambling,’ opting for a substitute instead, and justified herself: "You were acting on your own during the meeting!"

Poseidon’s ears dropped immediately.

After a moment of hesitation.

"—So for this school hunting competition..."

"Do you want to get hung up and beaten again?" Su Ya’s fluffy ears quickly hid back into her hair, and with her hands behind her back, she shook her head like a rattle.

"Why does everyone keep saying I got hung up and beaten!" Poseidon angrily said: "That day I was hung up and..."

Click!

A thin strand of lightning suddenly appeared, crashing precisely in front of her outstretched fingers on the desk, leaving a small black dot, the size of a sesame seed, on the hard mahogany tabletop.

Poseidon’s voice was abruptly cut off.

"—What happened that day?" Because of her visibility, Su Ya didn’t see the lightning, only hearing Poseidon suddenly fall silent, she curiously pursued.

"Nothing."

Poseidon let out a big sigh, ultimately showing a tiny bit of the responsibility of the mansion’s young lady: "If one does something, one must face the consequences alone; it’s just one jade coin, I’ll take it on myself!"

...

...

A thought popped out of the void, landing into Zheng Qing’s conscious sea.

A moment ago, the scene in the Qingqiu Mansion’s small garden played out perfectly before him. The young legend didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy, and almost in sync with Poseidon, let out a heavy sigh.

ε=(′ο｀*)))

"—Dean, is there anything inappropriate?"

The slightly uneasy voice beside his ear snapped Zheng Qing back to the present. He looked up and saw Gongsun Xiaolin, head of the Edge Academy student office, standing nervously across the desk holding a stack of documents, unsure why the dean had suddenly sighed in front of her.

"No, you’ve handled it well, let’s go with that."

Zheng Qing grabbed the feather pen from the pen holder, roughly signed his name on the document in front of him, and handed it back to Gongsun Xiaolin, then recalled what Poseidon had mentioned: "—That Atlas Academy student Guan Shanyun, the Tuki Sect follower, I heard he recently accepted the initial embrace from the Blake family?"

It’s rare for a student from the First University to be converted into a vampire during school.

So when this happened, it caused a minor sensation.

Gongsun Xiaolin wasn’t surprised that the dean knew about this, but found it somewhat puzzling that he was concerned about such a minor character: "Correct, the Moon Council immediately sent a certification letter confirming Guan’s bloodline."

"—Some time ago, Atlas Academy sent us a letter hoping we would accept Guan Shanyun’s transfer to the Edge Academy, you remember that, right?"

"There indeed was such a matter." Gongsun Xiaolin replied, vaguely guessing the dean’s intention.

"Originally, Guan Shanyun’s situation was somewhat special, so he only had one choice."

Zheng Qing, recalling Old Yao’s dismissive attitude in the office last time, felt a bit annoyed, so he decided to share this annoyance: "—Now that he has the Blake family’s bloodline, theoretically, he qualifies for enrollment at Alpha; Tuki Sect followers like fighting which matches well with Starry Sky Academy; besides, Jiuyou Academy always emphasizes fairness, right? Death is the greatest fairness after all. Moreover, aren’t most of the half-bloods, half-wolves in school admitted into Jiuyou Academy?"

Gongsun Xiaolin, observing nose and mouth, felt that although the dean’s words seemed to be forcibly stringing an argument together, they were surprisingly reasonable.

"—Later, send that transfer application to the other academies. This matter shouldn’t trouble only our Edge Academy!" Zheng Qing instructed — from a simple spirit of sharing and a sense that somehow everyone should dip into this mess.

"Understood, Dean."

"—Also, in a few days, I’ll be responsible for some of the ceremonies at this year’s school hunting competition. I might not be able to oversee everything. If there’s anything in the academy, as long as it’s not too troublesome, discuss it with Professor Barton to handle. There’s no need to report every single thing."

"Got it, Dean!"
