Chapter 957 - 956: Mr. Young Master’s Confusion

Amidst a cacophony of gossip, Qin Xin calmly pointed at the night eagles on the ground:

"Doesn’t anyone want the Spiritual Pearls?"

Only then did the group belatedly swarm to handle the scattered night eagle corpses on the ground.

The ones hit by Qin Xin, the ones hit by Jing Zhichen, and the ones hit with their joint efforts added up to a few dozen.

They’ve struck it rich!

These Spiritual Pearls are their biggest harvest in the past two days.

Everyone cheerfully took one each, and then, instinctively, they offered the remaining dozens to Jing Zhichen: "Young Master Jing, our respects to you."

Qin Xin slightly twitched the corners of her mouth.

This Time Mage was too ruthless, taking such a hefty cut.

Who would have thought that in the next moment, Jing Zhichen handed all those dozens of Spiritual Pearls to Qin Xin: "The credit for the battle just now belongs to you."

What?

Changed to honoring her now?

Everyone hoped Qin Xin would politely refuse, perhaps then Young Master Jing would reconsider and redistribute them evenly among everyone.

Who would have thought.

Qin Xin paused for a moment, then unceremoniously accepted them all: "Thanks."

Everyone: "..."

Their expressions were a bit envious at this moment!

Young Master Jing, look what your generosity and kindness have brought you?

And at this moment, their Young Master Jing calmly asked Qin Xin: "Miss, you’ve helped us so much, yet I haven’t asked for your esteemed name?"

Qin Xin thought briefly: "Lan Qingxin."

Since that red-robed ability user was targeting Qin Xin for death, it was better for her to keep a low profile and borrow Little Sister Lan’s name for a few days.

"Lan Qingxin," Jing Zhichen softly repeated, "A good name."

However, the person he tasked with checking the exam roster had just reported back to him with the results, and there was no information on this white-clothed woman among the examinees.

He had also browsed through the names of over a hundred examinees.

Reflecting back, there was no girl or young man by the name of Lan Qingxin.

Jing Zhichen did not expose Qin Xin but casually said: "Miss Lan, if you’re willing, would you join our team 1?"

Qin Xin reluctantly replied: "Alright... okay."

Everyone found it hard to breathe: "..."

Our team 1 is quite hard to join, isn’t it? Many children of major figures in Imperial City desire to join team 1 during examinations as an honor, and you seem so reluctant, is that really okay?

That night.

Qin Xin finally got a good night’s rest.

She didn’t attempt to smelt any Spiritual Pearls; after all, without the proper incantations, the success rate is zero.

Nor did she try to gather information about Time Magic from Jing Zhichen; after all, Jing Zhichen’s abilities had been awakened for many years, yet even he could only deal with the night eagles in batches during attacks.

Such a level of training might not support her in opening the Time Space Gate to return home.

The best method, instead, was to patiently wait until the exam ended three days later, naturally allowing her to return to Imperial City.

Only Mr. Nalan would be worn out, he must be terribly worried these few days...

＝＝

Nalan Ye Jue’s face became visibly thinner by the naked eye.

Lu Yi watched with concern.

Miss Qin had returned, but after coming home, she did not wake up, remaining in a coma for more than a month now.

All the examination results were normal, except for slightly weak vitality and a lack of nutrition; the skin abrasions and frostbites were also improving under the doctor’s careful care.

Yet she just remained in a deep sleep.

Only able to rely on nutritional IVs to sustain life.

As long as Miss Qin did not awaken, Mr. Emperor could not rest easy, lingering by her bedside without stepping away.

What’s wrong with Miss Qin?

Why did she become a sleeping beauty right after getting married?
