Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1272: Yan’s Mysterious Token

”That’s how you could say, I’ve also received nine years...of school enlightenment.” Luo Qianqian almost blurted out nine years of compulsory education, silently wiped her sweat away.

”Cough cough... Your enlightenment actually takes nine years?” Yan almost spat out his wine in disbelief at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian nodded earnestly, ”Yeah, our Nine Heavens Pavilion’s enlightenment includes classical poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, astronomy, geography, cultural knowledge, mathematics, physical abilities, human mysteries, medical knowledge, interest cultivation, and most importantly, the development of morality and being a decent person.”

Haan Yun looked aghast, his mouth wide enough to fit a light bulb: ”The learning content over at Nine Heavens Pavilion seems to exceed the Royal Family.”

”Not really, we don’t learn to govern a country and bring peace to the world, just to cultivate oneself.” Luo Qianqian suddenly felt touched about schooling, indeed little children should still go to school, she’d tell her brother later, can’t let An Hao wander around messing things up all day.

”You’ve worked quite hard then.” Huangfu Yihui looked at Luo Qianqian thoughtfully, no wonder he found this girl to be somewhat different upon their first meeting.

”Not too bad, not too bad.” Luo Qianqian gently smiled.

Reflecting on the time she went to school with her brother and Xiao Yu, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her face; it was a world of joyful memories, so she must grow stronger to protect that world full of recollections.

”If there’s time, let’s go pretend to be dashing scholars and pick up girls together, huh.” Luo Qianqian raised her eyebrow at Haan Yun.

Haan Yun’s face turned dark instantly, him pretending to be a scholar? Though he looked quite the part, as soon as he said a word, he would be exposed.

Looking at Luo Qianqian, even though she’s younger, why did she learn so much and still possess such strength? Even after seeing countless good-looking people, she remained like a luminous body that attracted people’s attention.

Luo Qianqian didn’t care about others’ gazes, just smiling lightly, she was still very proud of her country’s education system.

But thinking about their generation, it seemed somewhat melancholic.

Those who achieved good grades through cheating and flattery, those who crammed last minute to pass exams, would their world one day have doctors, nurses, teachers, chefs, even lawyers like this?

Flipping through organ diagrams on the operating table? Accidentally cutting the duodenum while removing the appendix?

Flipping the reference answers on the podium, facing students’ questions, just staring blankly?

Unable to distinguish between oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar without first tasting?

Thinking about it, it’s actually quite scary.

At this thought, Luo Qianqian silently lowered her head again, she always remembered the time of her own ’death’...

With a soft sigh, ”Let’s set out, I really don’t want to see those Flower Sect people come and cause trouble.”

”Indeed.” Huangfu Yihui glanced over with a smile at Luo Qianqian, both squinted instantly, one was smiling, the other was filled with threatening warning.

They didn’t hesitate, after deciding the direction to proceed, Old General Hua sent someone back to inform Hua Sicheng, and then proceeded to pack items, though there weren’t many things.

”Are we going to Central City then?” Watching as everyone went to pack things, Luo Qianqian nudged Yan and Huangfu Yihui, her eyes shimmering: ”I feel like I can earn big.”

”Going right now is asking for death, earn money and you’ll be targeted, then die in various ways.” Yan coldly glanced at Luo Qianqian, took out a token, and tossed it into her hands: ”After the Sect Conference, there should be a recruitment event, you can try.”

”What’s this?” Luo Qianqian examined the token in her hands over and over, yet couldn’t figure out its purpose, there was not even any text, except a pattern on it.

The material seemed like wood but felt cold like metal, smooth like jade stone, a hollow and carved irregular token, with an ancient pattern on the front, blank on the back, with a small ’three’ at the bottom right corner.

Huangfu Yihui’s expression became somber, he had always been unclear about Yan’s background, but now it seemed he understood.

”You’ll know later, take good care of it; it’s something that can safely get you into Central City.” Yan remained calm without showing anything special.

”Then I’ll keep it.” Luo Qianqian didn’t hold back, cheerfully stowed it away, then secretly produced a box: ”Can’t just take your things for free, here’s something for you...”

”What’s this?” Yan touched the brightly colored little box, thin plastic film covering it, feeling odd.

”Hehehe, this, you’ll understand when you’re married, it’s very useful.” Luo Qianqian gave a mischievous smile, she firmly refused to admit she was teasing Yan.

Yan looked at Luo Qianqian in surprise, then a mischievous grin appeared on his lips: ”Then I’ll take it, thanks.”

Luo Qianqian watched Yan accept it, her mouth opened, then her face blushed, silently prayed she wouldn’t be within a three hundred mile radius when Yan got married... afraid of being chased for revenge.

Would she admit she gave him condoms? Initially brought along as waterproof latex products to prevent arm and leg injuries temporarily, not ordinarily used. With Yan around, even basic medicine wasn’t needed.

But Yan accepted so straightforwardly, she felt a bit uneasy.

Huangfu Yihui merely raised an eyebrow without saying anything, then set off; nor choosing the previously torturous method of aerial travel, considering there were too many people, couldn’t fit them.

Moreover, Luo Qianqian was truly uncomfortable with such a ’plane’, felt it was just a ’Flying Chicken’, what if this ’Flying Chicken’ got upset or couldn’t fly anymore, wouldn’t an air crash easily occur?

She willingly became Xiao Hei’s ride, the little black cat slept in her arms, light as if weightless.

They relied on the stars and sun to navigate direction, making Luo Qianqian concerned whether they could find the destination; the compass was unreliable anyway, not knowing what underground stuff was interfering, the needle kept spinning around, if the needle weren’t too small it could’ve been used as a mini electric fan.

Luo Qianqian strongly suspected perpetual motion machine was achievable, but now wasn’t the time for her random thoughts, obediently followed along.

As they walked, there came the sound of horse hooves, only to see the guard who went to deliver the message come back, not only returned but brought a horse carriage...

”It’s amazing they tracked us through this forest.” Luo Qianqian gazed at the guard in awe, gently shook her head.

Their route had many narrow spots, how could such a large horse carriage casually enter?

”Reporting to Old General, Junior General mentioned Miss is frail, specially ordered me to drive the carriage here, also prepared dry rations and silver taels.”
