Chapter 2045: Getting into Nine Stars Academy Through Connections
The next day, when Gu Zhiqi woke up, Su Yunling was already gone. However, the bed beside her was still warm, indicating he hadn’t left long ago.
Wrapped in the blanket filled with Su Yunling’s scent, Gu Zhiqi lay there for a while longer before finally getting up.
After freshening up, she checked her phone messages.
Then she saw a message from Su Yunling.
There was an emergency at Ever Winning Army, and he had rushed back to the capital.
She originally planned to bring him back to see her family, but now it had to be postponed.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t linger in Jiang City either; after breakfast, she returned to Sea City.
In ten days or so, she would depart for Nine Stars City. Before going there, she needed to arrange some matters.
Gu Huaijin intended to personally send her back to Sea City, but there were many things that needed handling at the Luo Family, and Luo Fenghe couldn’t manage it alone. In the end, he stayed behind following Gu Zhiqi’s persuasion.
After returning to Sea City, Gu Zhiqi stayed with the Gu Family, either practicing alchemy, crafting talismans, or training Ancient martial artists from the Gu Family.
On the third day of returning to Sea City, Gu Zhiqi, Mo Weiran, Qiao Qingshu, and Lu Xingzhe visited the Gu Family together.
Gu Zhiqi took them to train at the training ground for an entire day.
In the evening, as the three were leaving, Gu Zhiqi handed Mo Weiran a sealed paper envelope. "Here, it’s for you."
Mo Weiran: ?
"What is this?" Mo Weiran asked while accepting it.
Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow, "Open it and see."
Curiosity piqued, Mo Weiran began to open the envelope.
Judging by the packaging, it was an international delivery containing documents.
Filled with curiosity, Mo Weiran opened the envelope and pulled out the papers inside.
Then he saw the big words "Admission Notice," with "Nine Stars Academy" inscribed above them, accompanied by the school’s emblem featuring the Nine Stars Formation Chart.
Mo Weiran: ?
"This... Nine... Nine Stars Academy?"
Mo Weiran said as he unfolded the notice, realizing it was indeed his admission letter.
Hands trembling, Mo Weiran abruptly looked up at Gu Zhiqi. "Miss, this... is this...?"
Lately, Mo Weiran, along with Gu Zhiqi and the others, had witnessed many things.
He had also heard about the rumors and descriptions of Nine Stars Academy.
Now, seeing his own admission letter from Nine Stars Academy, Mo Weiran was completely shocked.
He hadn’t even attended the admissions exam; how could he have an admission letter?
This admission letter... could it be fake?
Gu Zhiqi: "It’s a special admissions letter. Next month, you’ll join us in reporting to Nine Stars Academy."
Mo Weiran: ?!
"Is... is this real?"
At this moment, Mo Weiran was a bit skeptical of Gu Zhiqi, so he turned to look at Lu Xingzhe and Qiao Qingshu. "Brother Lu, Sister Qiao, this letter?"
Lu Xingzhe: "It’s from Nine Stars Academy."
Qiao Qingshu nodded in agreement.
Mo Weiran: "..."
He was stunned, utterly speechless.
"But why? I didn’t even take the admissions exam... this..."
Mo Weiran was shocked and confused internally; Lu Xingzhe and Qiao Qingshu were also puzzled and looked to Gu Zhiqi for answers.
Gu Zhiqi extended a hand and patted his shoulder. "Consider it that you’re getting in through the backdoor."
Nine Stars Academy does allow for backdoor entries.
However, its backdoor threshold is very high.
In the end, Mo Weiran left the Gu Family dazedly, while Qiao Qingshu and Lu Xingzhe left filled with confusion.
The backdoor threshold for Central Continent Academy was already high; Nine Stars City’s backdoor threshold must be even higher, so how did Brother Qi manage to secure an admission letter this way?
