Chapter 19: The Little Boy She Had Been Thinking About for Many Years
Yu Qing Qian stared at the man in white with deep eyes, and the man in white suddenly turned his head as if he felt something too.
He just glanced at Yu Qing Qian casually, then withdrew his gaze, leaning back on the chair languidly and taking a sip of wine.
He was picturesque with a worthy conduct, like a spotless and jade-like young sir who had stepped out of an ink painting, filled with the temperament like a fallen immortal1. One could be deeply immersed in it just by looking at him, making it difficult to look away.
This was the most stunningly beautiful man Yu Qing Qian had seen in her two lifetimes. He was more beautiful than a woman, but not with a trace of femininity.
The aura about him that no one could desecrate made her heart move, inexplicably wanting to destroy it or possess it.
Yu Qing Qian narrowed her eyes slightly. This man’s gaze was very apathetic and cold, and he was hiding a sharp look. He was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
His appearance and temperament had changed a lot compared to more than a decade ago, but she still recognised him at a glance as the little boy she had been thinking about for many years.
“Sisters, let’s toast to our meeting.” Ji Ling Shuang raised her cup and said to the three of them.
Yu Qing Qian had already withdrawn her gaze from the man in white, picked up her wine glass and clinked it with them, “Cheers!”
She chatted with the three of them with a smile, but her mind kept wandering to the man in white. How could she get close to absorb the poisons in him?
Should she go up to reconnect with him? Thinking back to her childhood when she was shamelessly stalking him in all kinds of cute ways, while the boy was cold-faced and black-bellied, she had the urge to grit her teeth and beat him up. She believed that even if this guy remembered her, he wouldn’t acknowledge her.
“By the way, Ling Shuang, you just said that there are two other people whose talent as a Spiritual Plant Master has been tested to be excellent, who are they?” Xia Ying asked curiously.
Ji Ling Shuang smiled and replied: “A man named Feng Chen is not only the young genius of the previous session, but also an influential man in the entire Royal Academy. Not only did his talent as a Spiritual Plant Master test to be excellent, but his physical fitness and mental energy were also top. I heard that he’s even better than those geniuses from the Central Continent.”
“How amazing!” Xia Ying’s eyes revealed admiration, “What about the other one?”
“The other one’s Huo Li Ruo. He’s a freshman in our session. His talent as a Spiritual Plant Master is excellent, mental energy and physical fitness is also top. I heard that he’s the only one who’s appeared in the Royal Academy who’s as talented as Feng Chen in the past century.” Ji Ling Shuang said with some envy.
There were very few talents like them in the Central Continent, and any of them would definitely be the target of intensive training by a clan.
Yu Qing Qian raised an eyebrow slightly when she heard her words. She didn’t expect that the two most talented geniuses in the Royal Academy in the past century were both acquaintances.
Huo Li Ruo was the young boy she had saved on the road, and Feng Chen was the young man in white she had been thinking about.
“Such talent is really amazing.” Xia Ying nodded, feeling a little sorry for Yu Qing Qian inwardly.
If Yu Qing Qian’s physical fitness and mental energy could reach high, then she would definitely become one of the most dazzling geniuses in the Royal Academy—what a pity.
The two other people had the same thoughts. They all felt sorry for Yu Qing Qian.
The talent gap between each of Yu Qing Qian’s was too great, which made the Spiritual Plant Master’s excellent talent become useless, and the Spiritual Plant Master class she could choose from in the future was also limited.
Ji Ling Shuang looked around casually at the people sitting on the third floor. When she saw the table on the side, her eyes suddenly became amazingly bright.
1originally began as a description of literal fallen immortals who were stripped of their status and punished to the mortal world. This then extended into describing a person who was extremely talented, like someone who didn’t belong in the mortal world and was naturally from the heavens. It’s not used as an insult, but a compliment.
