Chapter 172 - 172: One in Million



“The Qiankun Academy only accepts the most talented students from the Cloud Plains Continent. Except for a few exceptions, everyone else has to go through the selection process to have a chance to get in. How could a little brat who hasn’t even grown all his teeth get in?”

Gu Qingluan stared at Gu Jinyue with a sly smile. “i understand your thoughts. After all, ignorant people cannot comprehend what it means to be a genius.”

Gu Jinyue was infuriated, and her face turned red suddenly.

“Yue’er, you can go back after you finish eating!” Gu Zhicheng said displeased.

This girl, how many times had he told her not to lose her temper like this?

Gu Jinyue was taken aback and didn’t dare to say more, but she didn’t want to leave like this either.

She wanted to see how her uncle would handle this situation.

Would he boldly support Gu Qingluan without hesitation?

Seeing her pretend to be silent, Gu Zhicheng didn’t say anything more and refocused his attention on Gu Qingluan and Gu Xiaonan.

“Luan’er, I know Xiaonan has good talent, but he is still too young. It’s impossible for him to enter the Qiankun Academy at his age.”

“Although Lingxue is quite popular among the teachers and students in the Qiankun Academy, they won’t make an exception to let someone in through connection,” Wang Shi added immediately, fearing that Gu Qingluan would shamelessly request such a favor.

Gu Qingluan smiled faintly. “Whether he can get in or not depends on Xiaonan’s abilities. You don’t need to make too much effort; just give him a spot in the selection.”

Xiaonan’s chewing paused, and he looked at her in surprise.

Huh, didn’t Mom want to go to the Qiankun Academy?

Oh, he understood now!

Mom was just trying to deceive them into giving her a spot.

Then she would participate in the selection herself, and by that time, it would be too late for the Gu family to back out!

Feeling like it had nothing to do with him, Xiaonan continued eating carefree.

Hearing Gu Qingluan’s words, Gu Jinyue wanted to mock her again.

But Gu Jinrong tugged at her sleeve secretly, warning her with his eyes.

Gu Jinyue pouted and held back her words.

Wang Shi said, “The spots for the selection are limited. Do you think your son can win? Don’t waste a spot. We, the Gu family, only have fifteen spots!”

The age limit for the selection was under thirty, and the Qiankun Academy would select students from various countries who showed talent in cultivation.

The four major families of Chengyuan, plus the royal family, had a total of one hundred spots.

Only the top three would be admitted to the Qiankun Academy.

From this, one could see how strict the entry requirements for the Qiankun Academy were.

Of course, this was already considered exceptionally favorable treatment.

In addition to the selection targeting the royal families and major families of each country, every three years, the Qiankun Academy also recruited students under the age of twenty from the Cloud Plains Continent.

This selection process was even more demanding than the regular one.

Gu Qingluan was already over twenty years old and couldn’t participate in the general selection.

For each family, the spots for the selection were precious.

Some families used these spots to recruit talented individuals, while others kept them for their promising young members.

In Wang Shi’s view, it was a complete waste for Gu Qingluan to request a spot.

Could a five-year-old child have a chance to be among the top three?

Without a doubt, it was impossible!

“Whether Xiaonan succeeds or not, I’m not sure. Even if he doesn’t succeed, it’s still good to gain some experience and try again next time,” Gu Qingluan said casually.

Wang Shi felt that she was speaking as if it had nothing to do with her.

Wasn’t she wasting such precious spots?

“You are unwilling to agree even to this small request? It seems that you still hold a grudge against us. Since you don’t welcome us, we won’t disturb you any longer.”

Gu Qingluan stood up and reached out to her son, “Xiaonan, stop eating. Let’s go home..”
