Overlord, Love Me Tender

Half an hour was neither a long nor short time.

There was still a small section left on the burning incense.

Old Man Gui You was laughing splendidly with a glee on his face.

Even his eye contact with Di Mo Xuan seemed to contain a tint of proudness in it.

The only shortage was to call him “disciple in law”

The three senior masters’ brows were beaded with sweat by his behaviour and tried to curb Old Man Gui You.

In their hearts they were speculating: “Old Man Gui You is truly a mad man, he is not even afraid of the Overlord! Just don’t get us involve and lose our lives!”

Just as the main stage was creating a din, a ray of bright white light flashed on the Heaven Pagoda.

In the faint distance, you could barely made out a figure leisurely stepping out from the top of the tower.

“Out, she’s out!”

“it’s the Seventh Miss of the Ye’s! She…. is out!”

“Half an hour? It’s less than half an hour! There is still a small bit in the root!”

“Oh gosh! This must be an illusion! How is this possible? How can she pass all ten stages of the assessment in half an hour?”

Suddenly, a commotion started in the crowd.

Everyone was shocked and bewildered by her entrance.

The white brilliant ray blended in the sky like a sunrise.

A lady in red paced herself gracefully forward with her long silky hair dancing in sync with the wind and her skirt bloomed like a rose.

Her facial features were ravishingly beautiful, and something radiated from within that rendered her irresistible to both genders.

A palm sized kitten sat on the lady’s shoulder made her looked even more demure.

No one was able to take their eyes off her.

“I have passed the assessment within the half hour timeframe.” Her pink lips parted slightly while she leaned up to the main stage.

Her tone was dull, and the expression was bland like there was no excitement for passing all the ten stages in half an hour.

The three senior masters’ jaws literally dropped open and they couldn’t help but rubbed their eyes incredulously on what they saw.

One other master even bolted into the Heaven Pagoda in a blink to ensure that there were no loopholes for Ye Qing Luo to cheat.

Despite circled for a round, there was nothing wrong with the Pagoda.

The three senior masters also verified with the other four masters who guarded the Heavenly Pagoda.

The four masters that guarded were better known as Master of Justice, had knew the situation of the Pagoda inside out.

They were very certain that Ye Qing Luo had passed through all the ten stages of the assessment based on her own credits and no cheating was involved.

Time ticked pass with all the hustling.

The three presiding judges rigidly returned to the main stage and declared: “Congratulations to to Seventh Missy Ye Qing Luo for completing the complex ten stages of the ability assessment in less than half hour, you have officially been approved to be a student of the Heavenly Academy!”

“Yours truly’ hopes to have a disciple is dashed?” Old Man Gui You’s smile on his face had turned stiff as he opened his mouth and pointed to Ye Qing Luo: “You…. My disciple-to-be…. Can’t you give me some face!”

Instantly he got so devastated that he cupped his face in his palms: “My disciple-to-be! Yours Truly rarely wants to take in a disciple!”

The other masters that stood by had longed been dumbfounded over what was going on.

Ye Qing Luo gradually made her way to the main stage, but her sight was fixed onto Ye Qing Ling.

That cold gaze, like a poisonous snake had haunted its way to tangle Ye Qing Ling’s neck.

Ye Qing Ling felt the chill down her spine as she gripped the longsword in her hand subconsciously.

While Ye Qing Ling trembled in fear, Ye Qing Luo went over to Old Man Gui You instead.

“Senior, I had acknowledged a teacher previously and have to honour my words, if you do not mind, please accept my brother Xiao Yu as your disciple instead.”

She might not understand Old Man Gui You well, but she was aware that he was definitely a straightforward person and held immense influential power.

As the saying goes, save the best for family; even though she couldn’t accept Old Man Gui You as her teacher, she would still have to sway him to her side.
