Chapter 70: Quota for the Holy Court

Chapter 70: Quota for the Holy Court

"Grandpa, there's no need to tell anyone that I'm not blind," Luo Qingtong said to Mr. Luo. Her vacant eyes were indescribably sweet, yet the cunning and clever smile at the corners of her lips belied deeper schemes.

"Let others think I am blind! Sometimes, the heart sees clearer when the eyes do not. Don't you think?" Luo Qingtong gave Mr. Luo a meaningful look.

Mr. Luo was stunned for a moment, then he understood Luo Qingtong's intention. She intended to use her supposed blindness to observe things people wouldn't normally reveal in her presence, assuming she couldn't see them.

"Haha! Alright! Your grandpa listens to you!" Mr. Luo was very pleased and laughed in agreement.

He was happy that Luo Qingtong could protect herself and strategize against others, a trait he deeply valued.

Previously, Luo Qingtong was competent but too soft-hearted, gentle, and accommodating. If not for these traits, Luo Xinning would not have been able to harm her so grievously.

Thinking of Luo Xinning darkened Mr. Luo's expression. Although he had told Luo Qingtong not to worry about Luo Xinning because of her blindness, and refrained from mentioning the theft, now that she was well and had unlocked the talents left by their ancestors, it was time to reclaim what was taken.

"Qingtong, I haven't detailed the two items Luo Xinning took. Forget the heirloom armor; it's rare but unusable by her to its full potential. However, the letter of recommendation for admission to the Tianyu Branch of the Great Qin Holy Academy is crucial for you. The Great Qin Holy Academy is the premier institution in the Holy Dynasty, from which countless mighty figures have emerged!"

"Almost all of these powerful individuals are alumni of the Great Qin Holy Courtyard, which houses innumerable treasures, powerful techniques, and martial arts, not to mention the most systematic guidance from the foremost experts."

Mr. Luo spoke with caution, emphasizing the importance.

"Though you have our Luo family's inheritance, it's insufficient by itself. I don't understand soul arts well enough to teach you, and even if I did, my abilities wouldn't suffice. You must enter the Great Qin Holy Courtyard for true achievement."

"The Tianyu Branch is a gateway to the Great Qin Holy Academy, established in the Tianyu Empire. Only by entering there can one qualify to attend the Great Qin Holy Academy."

"The Great Qin Holy Dynasty encompasses countless territories: eight empires, three thousand high-tier countries, eight thousand mid-tier countries, and tens of thousands of low-tier countries. Yet, only a few from these can enter the Great Qin Holy Court! This quota for the Tianyu Branch is crucial for you. You must not lose it."

"I'll confront Luo Xinning immediately and demand she return what belongs to you," Mr. Luo declared decisively.

"Wait, Grandpa," Luo Qingtong interrupted. She was surprised by the significance of the Tianyu Branch quota.

Luo Xinning's betrayal, disregarding all past benefits provided by the original owner, now made cruel sense. Such an opportunity was indeed a compelling motive.

Luo Qingtong sneered, already plotting her next moves.
