Chapter 962 - 961: Mr. Emperor, Miss Qin Is Awake!

The examiners’ expressions became serious.

After all, Ding Dou was the top scorer in the Divine Academy’s new student entrance exams over the years, achieving a perfect score. If he were lured away by a woman who scored only 60...

They would suffer a great loss!

"Immediately call the registry center to check that woman’s identity."

"Whether she is undocumented or sneaked into the exam, she must face the penalties of the rules."

"Only scoring 60, even if admitted, she would amount to nothing. Such a woman is worthless trash at the Divine Academy."

"..."

The examiners discussed and took action one by one.

＝＝

On the plane.

Qin Xin sat by the window, watching the vast forest shrink little by little until it was only the size of a palm.

The terrain’s whole picture gradually unfolded.

Adjacent to the forest is an entire ocean, followed by a desert and then a continent.

Qin Xin recalled the imperial map in her mind.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t remember which region of the empire this was.

Forest, ocean, and desert are so tightly contiguous; such a strange geography.

Carrying deep doubts, she spoke little along the way. Even when Jing Zhichen personally brewed coffee and brought snacks for her, she merely thanked him indifferently.

Jing Zhichen, seeing her preoccupied look, chose not to disturb her. He sat in the adjacent seat, slightly turned, observing her.

This girl is really mysterious and contradictory.

She seems to be a very aloof person, yet so loyal to Ding Dou;

She could easily defeat a silver bear in action, yet handed in a small sesame-sized Spiritual Pearl and scored only 60;

She has a terrifying dark green birthmark on her forehead, but her appearance is increasingly captivating...

While pondering, his subordinate came over from the rear cabin, holding a phone, looking anxious: "Young Master..."

Jing Zhichen stopped him and stepped out of the front cabin, seemingly not wanting to disturb Qin Xin’s quiet enjoyment of the view.

The subordinate waited until they reached a secluded spot before lowering his voice: "Young Master, the candidate list doesn’t have a Lan Qingxin. The examiners found out, and they are now investigating her identity code...!"

Jing Zhichen’s face slightly changed.

Then he commanded in a low voice, "Who said she has no identity code? Tell the examiners she’s a special talent returned from abroad whose code can’t be found in the database, but I, Jing Zhichen, can vouch for her and prove her identity."

The subordinate’s face changed dramatically.

The Young Master actually knew Lan Qingxin’s identity was illegal, yet he is still helping her? Crazy, crazy.

Moments later.

Jing Zhichen returned to his seat.

Qin Xin asked casually, "Urgent matter?"

Jing Zhichen nodded without betraying any emotion: "Mm. Helping a friend, covering up a lie."

Qin Xin: "You’re certainly loyal."

Jing Zhichen: "I usually don’t like to meddle in others’ affairs. But, for some people... there’s an exception."

She is indeed the exception that fell from the sky.

Qin Xin advised earnestly, "But telling lies, even well-intentioned ones, will be exposed sooner or later."

Jing Zhichen’s lips twitched a few times: "Mm. I’ll try to extend the time before it’s exposed."

He couldn’t bear to see her punished by rules.

Every day delayed is a day gained.

Qin Xin said no more.

Once the plane lands, she will leave his team in the Imperial City and return to her own life. Why worry about so many trivial matters?

As the plane approached the Imperial City, Qin Xin became increasingly expectant.

＝＝

Imperial City.

Old mansion of the Nalan Family.

Nalan Ye Jue stayed by the unconscious Qin Xin’s side at all times.

Except when he was bathing or using the restroom.

That day at noon, while he was showering, Lu Yi suddenly came excitedly knocking on the door: "Mr. Emperor! Miss Qin, she, she, she woke up!"

[Master Yun: Goodnight kiss! Don’t ask why Master showers at noon. Ahem, sometimes Master showers three times a day...]
