I Can See the Lines of Fortune - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: The Red Lines Of Light Outside The School

“Really?” Ning Ran’s eyes lit up when he heard what Mo Xiaobai said. He smiled, and continued, “Okay! Thank you, Brother Xiaobai!”

The two of them walked towards the training ground.

At this moment, Ning Ran suddenly remembered something. He turned and looked at Mo Xiaobai. “Oh right, Brother Xiaobai. I heard from my dad that you’ve already become a Force Warrior?”

Mo Xiaobai smiled and nodded. “Yes.”

“Wow!” Ning Ran looked at him with awe. “Brother Xiaobai is so amazing! You will definitely be able to enter a good institution. You might even be able to enter one of the top three institutions! At that time, you can become the most powerful adventurer and go to the three forbidden districts to explore!”

Mo Xiaobai burst out laughing when he saw Ning Ran’s longing look.

Normally, students who just became Force Warriors near the exam date had no hope of entering the top three institutions. As for exploring the three forbidden districts, that was too far away.

However, Ning Ran was young, so he still had dreams.

Also, Mo Xiaobai wasn’t an ordinary person, either.

He looked at Ning Ran’s look of awe and rubbed his head. “You can wait for the day your Brother Xiaobai enters one of the top three institutions.”

“Alright!” Ning Ran nodded. He clenched his fists and waved them around. “I need to work harder too, and enter one of the top three institutions. My dad will definitely be very happy when I do that. Brother Xiaobai, you must protect me as a senior in the future.”

“You little brat.”

Mo Xiaobai couldn’t help but laugh.

People who didn’t know their background might think that they would really enter one of the top three institutions.

Didn’t you see the other people who were training looking at them as though they were idiots?

“Then you have to work hard. If you enter one of the top three institutions, Uncle Ning will be proud of you.”

“Yes!” Ning Ran nodded firmly.

“Since you want to enter a top institution, let’s start training now. I will be stricter.”

“Huh?!” Ning Ran immediately pulled a long face. He was stunned.

But, he very soon pulled himself together and seemed unfazed by death. “Come on, Brother Xiaobai! I’m a man who wants to enter a top institution! Don’t take pity on me!”

“…” Mo Xiaobai.

He was speechless. He opened his mouth, and said, “Sure, we will start with 50 kg dumbbells directly.”

“???” Ning Ran.

He looked at Mo Xiaobai in fear as if Mo Xiaobai was a devil. Mo Xiaobai instantly became happier.

***

Mo Xiaobai helped Ning Ran with his cultivation. Time passed. The sky turned dark quickly.

“You can’t handle it already? Didn’t you say that you wanted to enter a top institution?”

Mo Xiaobai smiled. He looked at Ning Ran who was lying on the floor and panting, and teased him.

At this moment, Mo Xiaobai saw a group of people walking over from the small path a distance away. Ning Feng was in the lead.

Ning Feng walked over to them, and saw Ning Ran lying on the ground. He was stunned. “Xiaobai, what happened?”

Mo Xiaobai smiled, and replied, “Uncle Ning, I’m helping Little Ran with his cultivation.”

Ning Feng nodded.

Then, he gave a bright smile and patted Mo Xiaobai’s shoulder. “I see. I have to trouble you for that. I’m really busy with work nowadays, so I don’t have time to guide him.”

Mo Xiaobai smiled, and replied, “Uncle Ning, it’s not troublesome.”

He could only cultivate for one hour every day, and his results in school were still in the top few of his batch.

Also, with his cultivation now, the weight of his studies in his results was very low.

Thus, he was actually very free.

Ning Feng nodded. He looked at Ning Ran, and said, “Little rabbit, you must listen to your Brother Xiaobai, do you understand?”

“…” Ning Ran.

He looked at Ning Feng with hidden bitterness.

Was this his biological father?

He was tormented by a devil!

Couldn’t his father see that?

Mo Xiaobai looked at Ning Ran’s bitter gaze and laughed. “Let’s end for today. I need to go home too. If not, my parents will be worried.”

Ning Ran’s eyes lit up immediately. “Brother Xiaobai, goodbye!”

He waved his hand happily.

Mo Xiaobai smiled and waved his hands too. He turned to leave. But, after he left, he faintly heard Ning Feng’s voice coming from behind him. “Continue your cultivation! Look at your Brother Xiaobai! He’s already a Force Warrior! What about you? Continue training!”

“Huh?!” Ning Ran’s scream of agony echoed in the air. It was enough to make people tear up.

Mo You and Mu Yuzhu were already waiting for him when Mo Xiaobai reached his home.

Mo You frowned. “Why are you back so late?”

Mo Xiaobai smiled, and replied, “I was in the district. I met Little Ran, so I helped him with his cultivation for a while.”

Mo You’s and Mu Yuzhu’s expression softened when they heard this.

“So it’s Little Ran. Help him a little more. He has a hard life.”

Mu Yuzhu sighed.

Mo You’s expression was complicated too.

“Let’s eat.”

***

Time passed quickly. There was only half a month left before the university entrance exam.

As the exam got nearer, the atmosphere in Moonlight Secondary School got tenser too.

This tense atmosphere was worse than the pressure caused by the murder cases.

After all, the university entrance exam was something that would affect every single graduate.

If your results for the exam weren’t good, you would be a step behind everyone in the future. Hence, everyone faced the exam with all their might.

Even Zheng Dong, who was very talkative, quieted down and started revising properly.

On the other hand, Mo Xiaobai’s mood wasn’t affected much.

This morning, he had reached the fourth-rank in his cultivation. Following this speed, he should be able to break through to fifth-rank before the university entrance exam.

In addition, he was cultivating with a flawless grade refined force technique, possessed the power of the Giants, and had the perfected Triple Slash. It shouldn’t be a huge problem for him to enter one of the top three institutions.

He had the confidence, so he wasn’t flustered at all.

Li Qishui was even more nervous than him. Li Qishui would find Mo Xiaobai frequently to chat. Mo Xiaobai would ask him to calm down so that he could perform well during the university entrance exam.

It should be known that although Force Warriors could qualify for the top 100 institutions, there was still a difference between the different institutions in the top 100.

The higher the rank of the institution, the better the resources and the teachers.

Hong Shi looked for Mo Xiaobai, Lin Mengyu, and Meng You to have a chat too. He asked them to work hard properly.

Because of the elite trial, Mo Xiaobai, Lin Mengyu, and Meng You became friends.

Lin Mengyu and Meng You were already at the peak of Body Tempering, and they were at the stage of sensing their force points.

At this moment, both were equally nervous. They were even more nervous than other students.

There was half a month until the exam. If they could sense their force point and become a Force Warrior, their results would shoot up.

They had to give it their best.

Unfortunately, Mo Xiaobai couldn’t help them even if he wanted to. Everyone’s force points were at different locations. They needed to find them personally.

In the evening, after lessons ended, the students dashed out of the classroom.

Everyone was obedient in this period of time. They went home directly after school.

Mo Xiaobai packed up his things, and left the classroom too.

When Mo Xiaobai left the school building and walked towards the entrance of the school, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the other side of the school walls with wide eyes.

On the other side of the walls, he saw thick lines of red lights.

These lines of red lights were even brighter and more glaring than the ones he saw when exceptional ingredients dropped from the sky at graystone hill!
