REINCARNATION OF THIEVING GIRLS

Chapter 87: Saint Laurent's Academy (2)

When he saw Qi Mengs respectful attitude towards him, Shen Yanxiao could already guess that he might be the young master of the Qilin Family. Since he still needed to collaborate with the Qilin Auction House, he decided not to offend his partner.

Moreover, there was no harm to anyone if he called her as a senior, as more friends meant more paths. After all, the two of them were students at Saint Laurent Academy, and he would probably become a useful ally in the future.

Shen Yanxiao's mind started to spin, and she began to assess the value of her exploitation with a simple two-sentence conversation. He then pondered about how he could squeeze it dry.

"You're very good for our business, but I don't seem to have your name. I am Qi Xia from the Qilin Family. What's yourname?" Qi Xia smiled and looked at Shen Yanxiao.

‘Qi Xia?’ Shen Yanxiao had found out about the other four aristocratic families of Shen Siyu. He had heard that the Qilin Family was the first family to confirm the next Head of the Family and the person they chose as the heir was the young man standing in front of him, Qi Xia.

It is said that Qi Xia's talent in commercial trade can ‘kill instantly’ all other traders in Longxuan Empire.

Shen Yanxiao no longer saw him as a handsome young man when she learned that his true identity was the future Head of the Qilin Family. All he saw was a golden mountain walking instead!

Shen Jue's.

Shen Jue was the identity that Shen Feng had arranged for Shen Yanxiao to use when she enrolled in the Saint Laurent Academy. Only the Vermilion Bird Family knew about Shen Yanxiao's recovery and because of the Vermilion Bird by her side, Shen Feng had also sealed off any information about Shen Yanxiao. He even arranged for her to use the mediocre identity of a younger member of another branch of the Vermillion Bird family.

He would definitely meet with Qi Xia again in the academy, and he knew exactly what he was telling him.

"School will start in two days. Feel free to come to me if there is anything unusual you do in the academy. " Qi Xia offered generously.

"Then, thank you in advance." Shen Yanxiao decided not to be humble.

"Which division are you applying for?" Qi Xia asked with a smile.

Herbalist Division. Shen Yanxiao did not bother to hide anything.

Qi Xia stared blankly for a moment and immediately smiled. "Herbalists are very popular. I'm looking forward to seeing you when you have become an Advanced Herbalist Expert in the future. If the time comes, remember to give priority to the Qilin Auction House to sell your potions. I assure you we can give you the most satisfactory price. "

"Of course." Shen Yanxiao smiled in response.

The two exchanged conventional greetings, and Qi Meng did not dare to say a word. He could not understand the reason behind his young master's generosity with that young customer. He had already thought it was strange when Qi Xia asked him to pay more attention to that customer. He even offered his help to the young customers in the academy. Qi Meng thought it was a little unimaginable.

Although the majority of shamans were influential figures that even most did not dare to approach, what kind of status did the Qilin Auction hold? Many shamans wanted to work for them, but junior shamans were unable to even take a single step on the doorstep of the Qilin Auction House. The little customer was still very young and had yet to make it into the Herbalist Division, but the young master was already very polite to him. This is very different from his usual style.

Who knows how good those young customers will be in the future? Even if the young master wanted to invest his potential, wouldn't that be unreliable?

Qi Meng had many things he wanted to say, but he did not dare to voice his opinion. He thought that it was better to stand to one side and listen obediently.

Chapter 88: Saint Laurent's Academy (3)

Two days passed very quickly and Shen Yanxiao was about to leave for the Saint Laurent Academy. The two brats, Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei, were about to depart on the same day as well. They had each enrolled in the Magic and Battle Aura Division Academy a year ago. However, since they had yet to break through rank six, they had to remain in the outermost circle in the academy. The Herbalist Division that Shen Yanxiao wanted to follow was located at the core of Saint Laurent Academy, and was a bit far from their destination. Shen Feng did not want Shen Yanxiao to attract unwanted attention. Therefore, he had ordered the carriage he was riding in to leave first.

Saint Laurent Academy will accept new students every spring and autumn. It would always cause the rise of Longxuan Empire during that period.

One would see many new students wanting to enroll in Saint Laurent Academy in the spring. Those carriages would always meet the academy's gates despite being tens of meters wide. It would be so crowded that it was almost impossible for students to pass through the gates. The students would be preoccupied with activity, similar to densely packed ants, as they walked around the general grounds of Saint Laurent Academy.

"Hey, have you heard? The young master of the Black Tortoise Family, who came every year, was here again. " Some of the students participating in the enrollment test were bored and gathered to gossip.

"He still doesn't want to admit failure, how many years has it been? She should be sixteen this year, right? I remember that he wanted to enroll to the Herbalist Division when he was fourteen. It had been two years, but he had not passed any of those four tests. This should be his fifth attempt, and he still won't give up? "

"Well, I'm sure you know. Among the members of the five great noble families, that son of the Black Tortoise Family was the only one who did not manage to pass the examination. I am sure the Black Tortoise Family was embarrassed and hence, they made him repeat the test over and over again. "

"You're right. I heard that the two youngest members of Vermilion Bird had successfully entered the Magic Division and Battle Aura last year. Currently, only the little young master of the Black Tortoise Family was still rejected by the academy. Why did he take so many things so hard? Any division would be good enough for him, but why would he insist on enrolling into the Herbalist Division? With the strength of the Black Tortoise Family, it was not impossible to give him a place in the other divisions! "

"Wait a minute why do I remember as if there was someone other than the little young master who had yet to enter Saint Laurent Academy?"

"Hahaha, you can't possibly talk about the Vermilion Bird Family's humiliation? Quit joking. Who does not know that he is useless and also an idiot? He couldn't even break into the Magic and Battle Aura divisions, let alone the other divisions. Don't tell me you expected the Vermilion Bird Family to send that fool here to humiliate them? "

A group of first-year students happily discussed the five great noble families that received the most attention in Longxuan Empire. A petite figure quietly stood beside them and eavesdropped on their gossip as a friendly smile appeared on her unattractive face.

"Is it difficult to get into the Herbalist Division?" Someone who had eavesdropped on the gossip suddenly asked.

It was only then that the group realized the presence of a young man standing beside their group.

When did he get there? Why are none of them watching? Isn't the sense of presence a little too low ?!

Chapter 89: Admission Test (1)

A group of young people looked at the skinny little boy. When they judged him, they found that he was mediocre, and even his clothes were ordinary. Since he also had a small body, it was no wonder why no one noticed his presence.

From her appearance, she looked like a child from an ordinary family. Even if he had passed the registration test, they doubted he would be able to afford the school fees.

Although their families were not very prominent, they were still wealthy. That was why a group of young people were acting arrogant towards him because they thought he was poor.

"That's a rather strange question. Who did not know that the Herbalist Division of Saint Laurent Academy was famous for its tough enrollment exams? Not many could pass their exams, even if they gave it their all. The Herbalist Division has trained many advanced shamans for our kingdom, so how could this be a place that anyone and everyone can enter? " One of the young men said arrogantly.

Saint Laurent Academy is famous for its Herbalist Division. At some level, training a shaman is much more challenging compared to other roles. One would need strong talent and influence if one wanted to nurture an outstanding shaman.

Before one could become a famous shaman, they would need a large sum of money to cover their expenses in order to produce potions. A wealthy family might not even be able to support a novice shaman, let alone an ordinary family.

The accumulated costs required for the equipment and medicinal ingredients for students to concoct potions were definitely not something an ordinary person would be able to afford.

Everyone knew that a shaman would be able to make a lot of money, even if they were just a junior shaman. However, they also knew that an apprentice would need a large sum of money to turn to a juniors shaman. One could say that it was a lucrative profession, but one could also describe it as a way of using his wealth to create talent forcibly.

Another reason for the rarity of shamans is because of the high costs that must be incurred. Therefore, most people would be intimidated by it.

‘Economic base specifies superstructure.’ The adage was practically made specifically for the profession of shaman.

No wonder the group of young people looked down on the little boy. No matter how they looked at the situation, they thought that there was no way he would become one of their classmates in the future. There are no children from low-income families in Saint Laurent Academy.

Although the youngster did not appear poor, his clothes were very similar to those their servants would wear. How could he possibly pay for school?

As for someone like him who was exaggerating themselves and asking about the Herbalist Division, they were nothing but jokes.

"Don't tell me that you want to take the Herbalist Division's registration test?" A group of young people giggled as they looked at the little boy.

The young man smiled at them and nodded. Her sincere smile added a hint of gentleness to her common facial features.

"Haha, this is the biggest joke I've heard this year. Little boy, do you know how much the annual fee for the Herbalist Division is? You can't even afford it even if you sell your entire family. You have to get rid of unrealistic expectations and get lost. "

A group of young people openly mocked the little boy because they did not care about the opinions of ordinary people.

Instead, the boy, who was still standing at the side as they mocked him, stroked his nose.

‘Can't afford it even if I sell my whole family?’

‘I want to know how much I will earn if I sell the Vermilion Bird main family and their other branches'.
