Douluo Continent: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 8 Entering the Spirit Hall Academy

Grandma Li nodded heavily upon hearing this and smiled, "Qiuqiu, don't worry, Grandma promises you, this will definitely be the last pair."

After saying that, Grandma Li picked up the shoes that Ye Jingqiu had just put down from the table.

She started embroidering again, stitch by stitch.

Ye Jingqiu sat quietly to the side watching. Grandma Li's craftsmanship was excellent; the red-soled shoes were embroidered with flowers in yellow thread, making them look lifelike.

"Red shoes are auspicious and bring good fortune. I hope everything goes smoothly for Qiuqiu."

Ye Jingqiu's eyes reddened slightly. The more she said this, the more reluctant she became to part with Grandma Li, even though Ye Jingqiu was adopted by Grandma Li after Bibiqiu died when she was three years old.

But in reality, when Bibi Qiu was still alive, she often went on long trips, either to make money or for other reasons. In short, Ye Jingqiu was often taken care of by her neighbor, Grandma Li.

Grandma Li always said that she was destined to be with Ye Jingqiu and had always taken good care of her. It is no exaggeration to say that even before Ye Jingqiu was adopted by Grandma Li, she could see her every day.

For so many years, she had never been separated from Grandma Li, but once she went to the academy, she would not see her for a week.

Ye Jingqiu was naturally reluctant to part with her, but she also knew that she had grown up and couldn't stay by Grandma Li's side forever.

Now she is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and she has become a Soul Master. She must cultivate diligently to become a powerful Soul Master.

Only in this way can she better protect the people she cares about, whether it is Grandma Li or Aunt Bibi Dong.

Ye Jingqiu didn't speak, but silently wiped away her tears. Afraid that Grandma Li would hear, she knelt down beside Grandma Li and gently kowtowed three times.

After finishing everything, she leaned her head against Grandma Li's knees.

Grandma Li was taken aback, then put down her needlework and gently patted Ye Jingqiu's head.

……

The black fog in the east dissipated, and a red halo emerged.

Ye Jingqiu tidied up everything, picked up the red embroidered shoes on the table, which still seemed warm, carrying the warmth of Grandma Li.

She wanted to stay with Grandma Li all night, but Grandma Li wouldn't let her and kept telling her to go to sleep. Presumably, the embroidered shoes were only recently finished.

Ye Jingqiu felt a pang of sadness. She didn't dare to go back to Grandma Li's room for another look, afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear leaving.

When the door closed, Grandma Li, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, stumbled out of the room.

Her eyes were cloudy; she couldn't see anything, her gaze unfocused, yet she faced the door with tears in her eyes.

"Qiuqiu, everything must go smoothly."

Outside the Spirit Hall, because Ye Jingqiu did not want to reveal his true identity at the Spirit Hall Academy, Bibi Dong did not make many arrangements.

At that moment, a person dressed in a white robe was standing at the door. The person's face was covered, but Ye Jingqiu still recognized him at a glance.

She quickly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Ju."

The man in white paused slightly. He looked up at Ye Jingqiu and, sure enough, it was Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan. At this moment, he still couldn't figure out why Ye Jingqiu had discovered him.

However, he still nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Holy Maiden." As he spoke, he reached out and took Ye Jingqiu's luggage, then walked aside and led Ye Jingqiu toward the Spirit Hall Academy.

The Spirit Hall Academy wasn't far from here. Because of Ye Jingqiu's short legs, Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't walk very fast, but even so, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Hall Academy in an hour.

The Spirit Hall Academy is located on a mountain. From the outside, the academy is surrounded by a ten-meter-high wall, and the sign in the very center of the wall bears the five large characters "Spirit Hall Academy" printed in gold.

After Yue Guan put down Ye Jingqiu's suitcase, he took out a piece of paper from his body and handed it to Ye Jingqiu, lowering his voice and saying, "This is the admission notice. The rest is up to the Holy Maiden. I'll stay with you here."

Ye Jingqiu took it and nodded vigorously, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Ju."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded slightly and then disappeared in an instant. Ye Jingqiu then stepped forward. At this time, the gate of the Spirit Hall Academy was closed.

Strangely enough, when Ye Jingqiu was still three meters away from the gate of the Spirit Hall Academy, the gate was suddenly opened from the inside.

Inside the door stood six people dressed in silver armor and holding longswords. One of them quickly walked towards Ye Jingqiu, looked her up and down, and then his gaze fell on the box in her hand.

"Are you a new student here to register?"

Ye Jingqiu nodded and handed the admission notice that Yue Guan had given her to the soldier.

The soldier took it and examined it carefully. After confirming that the seal was indeed from the Spirit Hall, he said, "You can go in now."

He paused, then pointed to the left and said, "The girls' dormitory is on the left. You can go to your dormitory according to the building number and dormitory number on your admission notice. You can get the college rules and map from the dormitory manager at the dormitory building."

The latest novel is first published here!

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly, a kind smile curving his lips. "Thank you."

The soldier paused slightly, looked Ye Jingqiu up and down, and said inexplicably, "Good luck."

Following the soldier's signal, Ye Jingqiu stepped into the gate of the Spirit Hall Academy. As expected of the Spirit Hall Academy, both its architecture and facilities were excellent.

Ye Jingqiu walked quickly toward the girls' dormitory, following the direction the soldier pointed out.

Her dormitory number is 316.

She strode into room number sixteen on the third floor and walked quickly up the steps paved with white marble. The dormitory building was equally luxurious, with red carpets covering every part of the corridors and staircases, and exquisite oil paintings hanging on the walls.

As I passed by the separate room, I saw two large characters written on the door sign: Dormitory Manager.

Remembering the soldier's words, Ye Jingqiu knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" As soon as the words were spoken, the person opened the door from the inside. A middle-aged woman was standing in the room. She was wearing glasses and looked at Ye Jingqiu with a very sharp gaze.

"You're here to report for duty today? Your name is Ye Jingqiu, right?"

Ye Jingqiu paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "It was me."

The middle-aged woman didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went into the house. She came out a short while later with a bag and said, "This contains the academy's map and school rules. Although you are a freshman, you still need to study the school rules carefully. Violating any of the school rules will result in your expulsion."

Ye Jingqiu nodded quickly and said, "I understand, thank you, dormitory manager." As she spoke, she took the bag from the dormitory manager's hand with a polite attitude.

Seeing how endearing the little girl was, the dormitory supervisor didn't say anything more, nodded to her, and then closed the door.

316.

Ye Jingqiu dragged a suitcase almost as tall as himself and finally arrived at the dormitory entrance with great difficulty.
