Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1843: Chapter 1823:

When the old man came back, his face was heavy with seriousness, even He Wenyu noticed something was amiss and quickly prepared the herbal dish.

Asked anxiously, ”Teacher, your face looks so bad, did you possibly step on something dirty?” Something like a kind of excretion...

Upon hearing He Wenyu’s words, the old man’s eyes widened in surprise, but he was helpless. After eating angrily for a while, he raised his head: ”The headmaster agreed for Freedom Town to form a team to station at the back mountain, we can also send people, akin to a patrol team.”

”Wasn’t it said that outsiders shouldn’t enter the academy?” He Wenyu was startled, asking with some confusion.

The old man nodded: ”Normally, that’s right, but every rule has exceptions, and now is definitely an exception.” After all, something like the Five Emperors’ Tombs is impossible to conceal, rather than letting them break into the academy later it’s better to let them in openly, to see for themselves, ideally someone to verify the authenticity of the Hundred Flavors Mushroom Illusionary Realm.

More importantly, since the information has already leaked, it certainly won’t be just people from Freedom Town, they also need reliable allies, to unite against others, don’t they?

The secret hidden in the back mountain of the academy is not just this, as this is the central part of the continent. Even though the world once collapsed, it was reconstructed anew, and within this position, experienced battles between capable individuals, what could appear might not just be the Five Emperors’ Tombs alone.

After all, the legacy within the tombs is limited, massacres and plunder are predictable, but if these people don’t leave after the Five Emperors’ Tombs, it would cause unmeasurable damage to the academy, there might even be conflicts with the students, in which case the academy would experience countless deaths and injuries...

Moreover, the academy students generally can only exert Third Level strength, in a situation of conflict, it requires superiority in power to be likely victorious.

More crucially, within the academy, there just isn’t an existence with enough power to resist the numerous outsiders.

Luo Mier’s family counts as one, but they aren’t here now because they left with Luo Mier for medical treatment.

Allowing those people to come here is bound to bring significant issues, but even with this, they can’t just stop it.

Stopping it could lead to a much larger-scale confrontation quickly.

If it actually breaks out into a fight, although the academy has its trump card, using it for this situation is somewhat irrational, right?

Yet, it’s impossible to let outsiders wreak havoc in the academy.

”So, to enter the academy’s protective layer they must wear a badge, right?” Luo Qianqian naturally looked at the old man, asking: ”In that case, even if they want to monitor the Forbidden Land, they would need to do that, but this matter requires someone with strength exceeding theirs to intimidate them.”

”...That protective layer is to prevent you from casually going out.” The old man could not help but rebut.

”That defensive layer, can be allowed.” Luo Qianqian said seriously: ”As long as they must wear this badge, their strength would be limited to Third Level, if they leave this range their strength would recover, it might work, right?”

”But...” The old man was momentarily thrilled, but soon became angry again: ”Old Four, that bastard, needs time to craft items!”

”If it really doesn’t work, we could substitute it with what we students use, and if the badge is ineffective don’t let them in.” After all, we can’t exclude the possibility that some people have reached the highest levels achievable with current talent, right?

People like that coming in might be a burden too.

”Why would they listen to you...” He Wenyu couldn’t help but furrow his brows, after all, they aren’t here to study like us, having to abide by the academy’s rules, unable to disobey.

”If they don’t listen, then don’t let them in, and why not just declare it to the world directly? Aren’t they threatening because they know we don’t dare to announce this news? We could simply form a team with people from all over the continent so they can’t unite, and they would still have to follow the academy’s arrangements.”

”Great idea!” The old man suddenly jumped up, stepped forward and patted Luo Qianqian’s shoulder: ”You girl, you’re not just someone who knows how to eat...” He quickly left after saying this.

Leaving Luo Qianqian alone at the spot, dumbfounded.

Not just someone who knows how to eat...

What kind of evaluation is that? Positive or negative? Why does it sound so strange?

Mo laughed directly, shaking his head helplessly: ”But with this, it might become chaotic.”

”That’s why the conditions this team has to meet are up to the academy to decide, after all, this is the academy’s territory, I make the rules in my territory, if you don’t listen, don’t come.” Luo Qianqian said, turning to look at He Wenyu: ”Do you think we should insert some spies or something?”

”People from the Nine Heavens Pavilion? Who are you thinking of sending?” He Wenyu was taken aback, instinctively refused, but no matter who it is, coming here requires wearing a badge, right? What if in the future it can’t be removed?

”Of course choose someone who is definitely coming here, wouldn’t it be absurd to let my old man take a stroll here?” Seeing He Wenyu’s expression, Luo Qianqian showed a look of speechlessness, she could see what he was thinking: ”What do you think of Zhang Sheng?”

Zhang Sheng, ever since he came last time, has been resting, unknowingly entering signs of breakthrough, and was hurriedly taken to the closed place of the Huangfu Brothers by Luo Yanran.

Still hasn’t come back until now, but it should be considered good news, after all, if something goes wrong, the Huangfu Brothers would return, wouldn’t they?

”Him? What’s happening with him...” He Wenyu instinctively became slightly evasive, the words uncertain and shaky.

”He’s coming here, after all, he has to participate in the academy’s selection for you, we’ll get your teacher to open the backdoor for him, that way you can have more time together, and most importantly, maybe he could directly be placed in our class.” Luo Qianqian said excitedly: ”Think about it, isn’t there a possibility?”

He Wenyu dumbfoundedly looked at Luo Qianqian, speechless: ”Who said he’s guaranteed to pass the academy’s selection? I wouldn’t have time even if he came...”

”Why, you seem to hope he’s worthless? Also, my Shiliu is so excellent, you should find someone even more outstanding, how about Di Jun?” Luo Qianqian leisurely looked at He Wenyu, her face full of teasing: ”After all, it’s better to find someone worthy of you.”
