71: Genius girl Mu Yan

The two of them walked slowly on the campus, like a couple in love.

Everyone on the road collectively focused their gaze on Su Bai, seemingly very curious about Su Bai’s identity.

“"Little Black Donkey", I didn’t expect you to be so famous in this school?”

“It’s been three years since we last saw each other, hasn’t it? How did you grow up like this?”

Su Bai looked at this little girl, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Mu Yan’s nickname was "Little Black Donkey", and the nickname was thought up by Su Bai and Sun Kai.

The three of them grew up together since childhood and were very good friends.

Su Bai and "Little Black Donkey" had an even closer relationship because both of them came from the orphanage.

At that time, Mu Yan was dark, ugly, and short, and she often suffered bullying from others.

As the older brother, Su Bai naturally took on the responsibility of looking after this "Little Black Donkey".

When they were about 15 years old, this girl naturally awakened.

You heard correctly, it was a natural awakening.

Those Transferees recognized by heaven and earth automatically awakened their professions.

This possibility was even smaller than the probability of Mars hitting Earth, yet this "Little Black Donkey" happened to encounter it.

Later, this little girl went to the Imperial City, and in a blink of an eye, they hadn’t seen each other for three years.

“I didn’t expect it either; three years passed in a blink of an eye.”

“Originally, I was waiting to graduate to find you guys, but the dean wouldn’t let me leave.”

Mu Yan couldn’t help but sigh upon hearing this.

Her profession was very special, a Heaven's Chosen, destined by heaven, belonging to an extremely rare profession.

“Aren’t we meeting now? Later, I’ll call Sun Kai over, and then the three of us can have a good get-together.”

Su Bai smiled slightly and said softly.

“Of course, no problem.”

“Which academy are you studying at now?”

“Or have you already become a professional early on and entered society?”

Mu Yan looked at Su Bai in front of her and asked softly.

“I’m currently at Qinglong Academy, but I’ll be in the Imperial City for this period of time.”

“You can come find me on weekdays; I don’t have a place to live yet.”

Su Bai thought for a moment; it seemed he really couldn’t leave the Imperial City recently.

He had promised Old Man Sun Shan to bring him honor in this academy competition.

The day of the academy competition was approaching in a blink of an eye, so he probably really couldn’t leave this month.

“Qinglong Academy?”

“That’s not bad either.”

“Let me ask you, there’s a genius from Tang City named Su Bai, whose name is exactly the same as yours. I even thought that person was you?”

Mu Yan pondered for a moment, then said softly.

“It is me, you didn’t guess wrong.”

“I’m very strong now; I can still protect you.”

Su Bai clenched his fists and showed off his muscles to the little girl in front of him.

“It’s really you?”

“Then why would you go to Qinglong Academy?”

As soon as she said this, Mu Yan couldn’t help but be stunned.

With Su Bai’s college entrance examination ranking, he could apply to any academy in the country, and even those top academies would scramble to recruit him.

“There are many complicated matters involved that I can’t explain in detail. When do you graduate?”

Su Bai looked at this girl, a little curious in his eyes.

He didn’t use his talent ability to probe her background; that would be too disrespectful to his friend.

“I could have graduated long ago, but the dean won’t let me go.”

“I’m already at Six Transformations now, and I’m about to become a Seven Transformations professional. He insists I stay in school until Nine Revolutions, what can I do?”

Mu Yan sighed and said softly.

“Who told your ability to be so special and so strange?”

Su Bai couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this.

Mu Yan’s profession was a Heaven's Chosen, and her first basic skill was predicting the future; she could predict the future.

If her level could reach Nine Revolutions, she could even glimpse the future and predict any person or event.

This ability was too abnormal, so it was normal for that Old Man Jiang Lin not to let her go.

With such a genius outside, given Old Man Jiang Lin’s character, he would absolutely not feel at ease.

“I’d rather not have this talent; how much happier would I be if I could be with you guys every day?”

Mu Yan sat on the swing in front of the villa, a hint of faint sorrow in her eyes.

For three whole years, she had been trapped here; except for going to the dungeon, she couldn’t leave the Imperial City.

“If you want to go out and play, I can take you out.”

As soon as he said this, Su Bai immediately grabbed her hand and said softly.

“Really? Is it true?”

“The dean can’t possibly agree.”

“I know that Old Man’s nature; he will absolutely not agree to me leaving.”

Mu Yan’s eyes lit up, then dimmed again.

Unless she broke through to Nine Revolutions, she couldn’t leave the Imperial City.

“Just a mere Old Man, am I still afraid of him?”

“If Jiang Lin doesn’t let me take you out to play, I’ll scatter his ashes.”

Su Bai clenched his fists, his expression appearing particularly fierce.

“Whose ashes are you going to scatter?!”

Just then, Old Man Jiang Lin suddenly landed beside the two of them, smiling at Su Bai.

“Of course, it’s you!”

“How can you imprison her here?!”

“Can you even be a person anymore?!”

Su Bai stared at the Old Man in front of him, saying with an unpleasant expression.

“I didn’t do this on purpose. You also know how powerful this little girl’s talent is. At that time, there were many spies in the country, so I couldn’t let her out.”

“Once she’s exposed outside, it will be endless assassinations. Those foreign professionals will definitely kill Mu Yan at all costs.”

“Our country has Destined Ones; their countries also have diviners.”

Jiang Lin saw that Su Bai’s expression was a little grim and quickly explained.

Even if he protected her every step of the way, he might not be able to ensure Mu Yan’s safety.

Only by staying in Meteor Star Emperor City was she the safest, because this was the Meteor Emperor’s territory.

Unless a deity descended, it would be impossible for anyone to touch Mu Yan.

“So that’s how it is. Then I’ll reluctantly forgive you, Old Man.”

Su Bai heard this, then patted Mu Yan’s shoulder with his hand.

“I really didn’t expect you two to know each other.”

“This is good too; it saves me the trouble of introducing. The reason I asked you to come see me tonight is related to this girl; I want you to do her a favor.”

Old Man Jiang Lin looked at the golden couple in front of him, couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

The relationship between these two youngsters seemed to be very good, even giving him a feeling of being lovers.

“What favor?”

As soon as he said this, Su Bai couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Help her complete the Seven Transformations mission. No one else can do this mission except you.”

Old Man Jiang Lin stroked the beard on his chest, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
