Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 492: It’s Fine even if You Fail

“At least you know your place.” Not far away, Long Yun’s guard sneered at Long Xue.

Although Long Xue was angry, she didn’t say anything. The First School was indeed not a place that just anyone could enter.

Long Yun didn’t even look at Long Xue. She just looked at the guard beside her. “Is there any news about that Master Su recently?”

The guard immediately shook his head. “The reception for the past few days has been filled with our people. We didn’t find a single expert with the surname Su. They are all caravans.”

“It looks like that lord won’t come here.” Long Yun sighed. “Forget it. Let’s go back first and prepare for tomorrow’s test.”

…

On the other side, Long Xue and the angry Qu Yan returned to the Long Family.

Long Xue had just stepped through the door when the butler came over with a face full of joy. “Missy! Master! Master has woken up!”

“What?!” Long Xue didn’t expect to hear such good news. She immediately grabbed the butler’s hand and ran to the Long Family Head’s room without even caring about Qu Yan.

The Long Family Head was sitting at the head of the bed, listening to the first elder explain the details.

Dressed in a gray outfit, he listened with a serious expression. “Xue’er, did your friend give you that potion?”

The Long Family Head’s eyes were very serious, and Long Xue couldn’t help but become serious. “Dad, you mean Qingqing’s potion, but… wait, you said that the potion saved you?!”

“That’s right.” The Long Family Head picked up the gray bottle. “Even after using it, there are still some strong fluctuations inside. This must be a top-grade potion. Are you sure it was given to you by your four friends?”

“How is this possible?” The butler and the first elder were shocked.

Weren’t those four ordinary people? How could there be such a potion?

“But Qingqing said that she picked it up…” Long Xue was still in a daze.

The Long Family Head was also thinking. If he could choose to not enter the Su Family back then, there must be something extraordinary about him. He quickly sorted out his thoughts. “Picked up? This kind of potion… once a potion maker refines it, they can’t wait to hold it in their hands. How can it be seen by ordinary people just by picking it up? Xue’er, your friend is probably… not simple!”

“Huh?” Long Xue obviously didn’t expect her ordinary friends to have such capabilities. She didn’t know how to react.

“Whether it was intentional or not, your friend saved me.” The Long Family Head immediately stood up. “I have to thank her personally. Xue’er, go ask when your friend is free to meet me.”

Long Xue was confused. She usually went to meet Su Huiqing and the rest.

You still want to ask them?

However, since it was her father’s instructions, she had nothing to ask. After seeing Su Huiqing, she wanted to ask but was stopped by Qu Yan.

“Xue’er, there’s no need to thank us.” Qu Yan seemed to know why Long Xue was here and pressed her down on the chair. “Qingqing is on the phone with someone now, and it’s not good to disturb her. However, she asked me to tell you that it’s nothing. You have helped us a lot these few days.”

Yu Xiangyang threw something at Qu Yan who then stuffed it into Long Xue’s hands.

Long Xue finally snapped out of her trance and gulped. “So… was it really Qingqing who saved him?”

Yu Xiangyang and the rest smiled at her.

Long Xue left with a dumbstruck expression.

Her worldview collapsed. No matter how she thought about it, something was wrong. Her four friends were clearly ordinary. They were clearly existences that were stunned when they saw third-level ferocious beasts. How could they take out such a precious potion?

…

The next day was the day the First School came to recruit students.

In the past, when the First School recruited people, they would not come here. However, this year, because of Long Yun, the First School made an exception.

This was the number one school that everyone yearned for. Many people came to watch the fun.

Although they knew that only Long Yun could enter, they still had to try. Who knew about luck?

Qu Yan, Su Huiqing, and the rest also came over.

Long Yun immediately saw Long Xue in the crowd. She completely ignored Su Huiqing and the rest. “Long Xue actually dared to come here. Isn’t she afraid of losing face?”

Long Yun’s father also saw Long Xue, but he didn’t care at this time. The news that Mayor Long had already recovered hadn’t spread yet. They thought that Mayor Long was still sick. Long Xue was just trying her luck so she didn’t care about them.

At this moment, the door to the test that the people from the First School had already opened was led by a very tall and sturdy soldier with a cold aura.

Almost everyone present looked at this person with envy.

“This is the people from the First School. Thanks to Miss Long, we can also see the people from the First School.” A young man beside Su Huiqing sighed and looked at Su Huiqing. “You guys are also here to try your luck, right?”

Su Huiqing retracted her gaze and looked at the man. She smiled. “That’s right. What if I get lucky and enter the First School?”

The man laughed. It was obvious that he had the same idea.

He came rather early and took his number very close to the front. He would quickly enter but also came out just the same.

“How is it?” Qu Yan asked.

That man shook his head and said angrily, “I didn’t pass and was actually asked to get to the third level. What’s the difference between the first level and the third level?”

Qu Yan and Su Huiqing: “…”

That man looked at Su Huiqing and the rest. “When did you guys arrive? Eh, number 28? It’s almost your turn? Hurry up and go. Don’t worry, it’s fine even if you fail. After all, even I didn’t pass.”
