Chapter 965 - 964: What Exactly Are the "Rules"? She Discovers an Anomaly!

Jing Zhichen paused, then continued, "If we don’t report at the designated time, it would be breaking the rules; while moving around the Imperial City without a pass would violate rules too, leading to a trial in the Supernatural Court... Miss Lan, you might not understand the rules, but you mustn’t challenge them; the consequences are too severe."

Qin Xin was utterly confused.

Indeed, she did not know what "rules" Jing Zhichen was referring to.

She had lived in the Imperial City for nearly 20 years and had never heard of such rules!

Could it be that after taking the supernatural exam, she couldn’t even return home?

The thought of Nalan Ye Jue anxiously waiting for her, worried and sleepless, made her very anxious.

She took a deep breath, "I’ll bear the consequences myself."

Jing Zhichen was rendered speechless by this stubborn girl.

Everyone in the Imperial City feared the rules.

But she seemed to not care at all...

He didn’t want to pressure Qin Xin, so he said, "So, Miss Lan, where would you like to go? I’ll take you there."

Qingtuan became anxious, and quietly stomped, "Young Master, you can’t, if you let her go to a place she shouldn’t be, it’s also breaking the rules, you’ll be implicated by her; since she wants to leave, let her go by herself."

Jing Zhichen glanced lightly at Qingtuan, "Shut up."

Qingtuan: "..."

The Young Master had always been gentle to him, today he was so fierce and intimidating.

On the other side.

Little Douding quietly reminded Qin Xin, "Sister Xin, Young Master Jing is right, the rules are terrifying, we must not break them; breaking them could be fatal. Why don’t we take Young Master Jing’s car back to school first?"

Even Little Dou’er said so?

What on earth are these "rules"?

Suppressing her deep doubts, Qin Xin looked around; the airport was empty, unlike the bustling Imperial City airport she remembered, not even a taxi in sight.

If she didn’t take Jing Zhichen’s car, she really had no way to leave.

The airport was more than a hundred kilometers away from the Nalan Family, she couldn’t possibly walk.

Qin Xin thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Alright. Then I’ll trouble you this one more time."

She didn’t want to owe Jing Zhichen too much, so she took out ten Spiritual Pearls the size of red dates from her backpack, "Thank you."

Jing Zhichen: "..."

Qingtuan’s eyes widened, "Wow, where did you get so many perfectly bright Spiritual Pearls? These are the Spiritual Pearls of the Hang-Eyed White-Tiger, right??? You killed ten tigers?"

Wow, she was practically a female Wu Song.

Qin Xin thought for a moment, "No."

Qingtuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I figured a woman couldn’t hunt tigers..."

Qin Xin paused again and continued, "Didn’t hunt ten. Hunted over fifty."

Qingtuan: "..."

He felt as if ten eggs were stuffed in his mouth, he couldn’t close it.

What kind of divine woman had the Young Master brought home?

But Little Douding, already accustomed to Qin Xin’s surprising revelations, wasn’t fazed — his Sister Xin was just that impressive, super A-class, "Sister Xin, let me help with your luggage."

The backpack on his back was already heavy, yet he picked up Qin Xin’s, panting as he moved it to the car.

Seeing this, Qingtuan was once again stunned: The backpack surely contained many more Spiritual Pearls, otherwise why would it be as heavy as if filled with stones?

Douding sat in the front passenger seat, Qin Xin and Jing Zhichen sat in the back seat.

The suffocating Qingtuan quietly started the car and drove towards the city.

Traveling from the deserted airport through the green hills and forests, the city gradually unfolded before Qin Xin.

Her elegant brows slowly furrowed.

It seemed something was different...
