Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Chapter 173 Applying for the 3-Step Tower

Led by Ding Yumin, Mo Xie arrived at the dean's office.

"Grandpa Xiao, I've brought Xiao Xie to see you!"

Upon opening the door, Dean Xiao, sitting at his desk, took off his glasses and rubbed his temples, appearing somewhat preoccupied.

But the moment Ding Yumin spoke, he revealed a gentle smile.

"Yu Mian, what brings you here?"

"Of course I came to see you. But why did you look so preoccupied just now? Did something happen?"

Ding Yumin recalled Dean Xiao's appearance just now and asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, just a trivial matter, don't worry."

Dean Xiao waved his hand, then looked at Mo Xie who came in from behind and said with a smile.

"Mo Xie, it's been a long time. Welcome to Mingzhu Academy."

"Dean Xiao, it's been a long time."

"If you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa Xiao in private, just like Yu Mian does."

Mo Xie was slightly taken aback upon hearing these words, but then realized what they meant and nodded.

"Okay, Grandpa Xiao, you can call me Xiao Xie from now on."

Dean Xiao stroked his beard gently and nodded in satisfaction.

"Just started school today, what do you think of Pearl Academy?"

"It's pretty good. I'm very satisfied with both the campus environment and the dormitory conditions."

"As long as you're satisfied."

Their conversation resembled that of an elder showing concern for a younger person, such as asking if they were eating well or staying comfortably.

After chatting about everyday things for a while, Mo Xie hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Grandpa Xiao, actually, I came to see you today because I hope you can help me with something."

"Oh?"

Dean Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked with some curiosity.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's like this, I've recently encountered some bottlenecks in my cultivation. I just heard that there's a sacred cultivation ground called the Three-Step Pagoda at Mingzhu Academy, so I was wondering if you could give me a chance?"

Mo Xie recounted her situation in detail and waited quietly for Dean Xiao's reply.

To put it nicely, it's giving someone a chance; to put it bluntly, it's using connections.

"What bottleneck have you encountered? To be honest, I still can't see the depth of your cultivation."

In silence, Mo Xie took the initiative to remove the cultivation shield from the Qilin pendant, revealing his true cultivation level.

By now, revealing one's innate talents is no longer a big deal.

Firstly, because Dean Xiao is a trustworthy elder, it wouldn't hurt to let him know.

Secondly, Dean Xiao is, after all, a forbidden spell master, and the two have a good relationship. If one has a forbidden spell master as a backer, one's future path will be much easier.

Dean Xiao's pupils gradually widened, his initial confusion turning into shock, his heart surging with turbulent emotions.

After a long while, he tremblingly took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, and put them back on, his gaze becoming extremely serious.

"Your innate talent... is astonishing, but your progress in cultivation... is even more surprising!"

"I became self-aware when I was fifteen."

Dean Xiao shook his head at this statement, saying that even if someone awakens spontaneously at the age of fifteen, it is impossible for them to reach the mid-level and early-level perfection of the three systems by the age of eighteen.

However, the thought that Mo Xie was the one chosen by that person made him feel at ease.

Since they are the chosen hope, it's impossible for them not to have something special about them.

After thinking it through, he looked up at Mo Xie and asked seriously.

Have you told anyone about your innate talent?

Mo Xie was taken aback, then shook his head and said.

"No, I haven't told anyone other than my family."

"Yes, very good. You are a mature and opinionated child."

Dean Xiao nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"I can agree to let you train at the Three-Step Tower, but... I have one condition."

Mo Xie frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"That's right. In the second semester of the first academic year, each school sends a group of outstanding students to study at other schools for a period of time, which is called exchange students."

"By the way, Yu Mian won first place in the inter-university exchange competition for our Pearl Academy last semester."

When Ding Yumin saw Mo Xie looking at her, she playfully made a peace sign.

"Of course! I'm very strong!"

"Xiao Xie, what's your decision?"

After a moment of contemplation, Mo Xie smiled and nodded.

"Of course, no problem. It would be my honor to bring glory to the school."

After leaving the dean's office, the two had lunch off-campus and played until 4 p.m. before returning to school. Back in the dormitory, the other three were already in bed.

When Zhao Manyan saw Mo Xie return, he sat up and made a suggestion.

"To celebrate our meeting in the dorm, I'll treat you guys to a nice meal tonight!"

"That's great, Lao Zhao, you're a true friend!"

The moment the topic of treating someone to a meal came up, Mo Fan was instantly wide awake and immediately sat up.

"Since it's Mr. Zhao's treat, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Xu Zhaoting put down his phone and said with a smile.

“Okay, a girls’ dormitory just wants to have dinner with us, so let’s have a get-together.”

Looking at Zhao Manyan's expression, Mo Xie felt uneasy, with a sense of foreboding.

When it was time to eat, the four of them got into a taxi and headed straight for their destination.

After getting off the car, Mo Xie looked up and saw the sign for the lobster restaurant, and couldn't help but tease it.

"I thought you meant treating us to a five-star hotel. I didn't expect someone like you, a young master, to be so down-to-earth."

Zhao Manyan chuckled, rolled his eyes, and said irritably.

"Please, even if I'm a rich young master, I'm still a normal person. I can't possibly eat high-end food every day."

"Besides, this restaurant's crayfish is really famous in Shanghai. You're in for a treat tonight!"

Mo Fan looked around but found nothing, then asked.

"Old Zhao, I'm starving! Has the person you mentioned arrived yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a few soft gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd.

Looking in the direction of the sound, two beautiful women dressed in the uniforms of Mingzhu Academy were walking gracefully towards them, attracting frequent glances from the men around them.

One of them had a slender figure, curvaceous body, and a delicate oval face, like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting, ethereal and otherworldly.

From her every move, one can feel a dignified elegance, graceful and ethereal.

The other one was slightly less impressive, but her petite frame somehow managed to withstand pressure that someone her age shouldn't have to bear, making one want to sink into an endless abyss of darkness from which there was no escape.

She has an adorable face with a touch of baby fat, plus a devilish figure, which easily arouses a man's strong protective instincts!
The two girls walked together on the street, overshadowing even the two attractive female classmates next to them, who paled in comparison.

Mo Xie's pupils showed a slight ripple when he saw the two women. He leaned close to Zhao Manyan's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Tell me, how much did they give you?"

"They're treating us to dinner tonight."

"...You're really something."

Ai Tutu trotted up to the crowd and said excitedly.

"Where's the playboy, the devilish heartthrob?!"

"Hello, it's me."

Mo Xie stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.

Ai Tutu shouted, grabbed Mo Xie's hand, and excitedly jumped around on the spot.

"My idol, I'm your fan, I like you so much!"

The onlookers' eyes turned to the two mountains, and upon seeing them shaking violently, their blood boiled.

Seeing that something was wrong, Mu Nujiao quickly ran over to stop Ai Tutu and covered her mouth.

"TuTu, calm down. We're in a public place. You're causing trouble for others!"

Ai Tutu lowered her head and buried it deep in her chest, like a child who had done something wrong.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions..."

Mu Nujiao walked up to Mo Xie, extended her hand, and smiled gently.

"Hello, my name is Mu Nujiao, and her name is Ai Tutu."

"Hello."

Mo Xie also reached out and gently grasped the fair, snow-white hand, its texture smooth and delicate.

"You're the one who gave us concert tickets at the Magic High School in Shanghai last year, right?"

It was clearly a question, but the tone was incredibly certain, as if it were a done deal.

"Eh?"

Mo Xie blinked blankly, unsure how to answer for a moment.

"Let's not just stand outside, let's go inside."

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around him, and some were even about to recognize him and approach him to talk, Zhao Manyan quickly said...

"Yeah!"

As the group entered the lobster restaurant, Mo Xie followed at the back of the line, but someone tugged at the hem of her clothes.

Turning her head to look back, Mu Nujiao gently tugged at the hem of her clothes. Her fair face was slightly flushed, her beautiful eyes were filled with shyness, and she avoided eye contact, her red lips slightly pursed.

After hesitating for a moment, she held the phone screen up to Mo Xie and whispered something.

"Mo... Mo Xie, um... could I have your contact information...?" (End of Chapter)
