BXBX NOVEL Chapter 463: After four months [4]
Zhao Tian smiled and replied "Yeah.. I am great."
At this time, Ning Zhilian peeked over his shoulder to look at her and waved her hand "Hi..."
Lyra too, excitedly waved her hand "Heay... and Zhao, what is the matter you called me? Missing me already?"
Hearing her playful tone, Zhao Tian could only shake his head "I called you to ask for help from you..."
Lyra's playful smile turned into a thoughtful expression as she raised an eyebrow. "Help, huh? What is it, Zhao? Did that old geezer cause some more trouble?"
Zhao Tian waved his hand dismissively. "No, no. It's not about him. A tournament was held here recently, and one of the participants from our star was selected to join your academy. I wanted to talk to her."
Her? A woman? Lyra Talon rolled her head and got up from the chair, her eyes glancing at the students fighting.
Stretching her arms, she looked at the hologram floating in front of her "Haa, if she is brought now... she must be in the Elite class of the Transient realm."
"Let me go and meet her. What's her name?"
With a nod, Zhao Tian replied "Ling Chao..."
"Ling Chao..."
Muttering her name, Lyra Talon walked through the corridor of the Academy, and on her way, many students and teachers bowed respectfully, greeting her as she passed.
"Your Highness," some would whisper in awe as Lyra walked by, but she barely paid attention, waving absently to them with her usual smile.
At this time, Ning Zhilian who was looking at the hologram, mumbled in confusion.
"isn't the star far away... how are you getting the connection?"
Hearing the question, Lyra Talon replied "It is because we have beacons in most of the places in High Stars."
Zhao Tian who was also curious raised an eyebrow "Beacons?"
Lyra Talon frowned upon hearing this and replied "You remember the satellites thing in your star right? Something like that..."
"We have that many places across High Star circle so data passes through these beacons and reaches here."
"Oh..." Both of them were amused to hear this.
...
After a short walk, Lyra arrived at the entrance to the Elite class of the Transient Realm section of the academy. "Hmm.. Ling Chao."
"Are they in study hall?"
She pushed the door open without even knocking.
"Hello, hello!" she called out as she stepped into the room, her voice light and teasing.
The students, caught off guard, turned their heads in surprise, many of them gawking at the beautiful woman who had just barged into their classroom.
At the front of the class, a middle-aged instructor who had been overseeing the students' studies paused and straightened himself.
He bowed his head respectfully, recognizing who she was. "Your Highness," he greeted in a calm, deferential tone.
Lyra waved her hand dismissively at the formality. "Who's Ling Chao here?" she asked, her eyes scanning the room.
Eh? Among the seated students, Ling Chao hesitated, her heart pounding in her chest hearing her name and she nervously rose to her feet, "Uhm… that's me," she said in a quiet voice.
With a nod, Lyra Talon gestured her finger "Hm, come here..."
Hesitating, Ling Xhao walked to Lyra and quickly both of them left the room.
As they stepped out, Ling Chao glanced at the beautiful woman as if she knew exactly who she is...
The whole Academy knows about her.
Keeping her head lowered she asked, "D-Did I do something wrong, Your Highness."
With a shake of her head, Lyra Talon replied "No, someone wanted to speak with you."
"H-Huh?" Ling Chao blinked in confusion, and as Lyra tapped her wristwatch, activating a hologram screen, Zhao Tian's familiar face appeared.
Ling Chao's eyes widened in disbelief as she recognized him. "Mr. Tian?"
"Chao," Zhao Tian said warmly, a gentle smile on his face. "It's good to see you."
"Mr. Tian… how?" Ling Chao stammered, still processing the situation.
Zhao Tian chuckled softly. "Lyra is a friend of mine. When I heard that you left for Ebon Luohe Academy, I reached out to her."
Ling Chao let out a breath of relief, her heart calming down. "I-I see…"
Zhao Tian's expression softened as he asked, "How's the academy, Chao? Are you settling in well?"
Ling Chao nodded, her voice steadier now. "It's… it's amazing, Mr. Tian. The training, the facilities… it's more than I ever imagined. But I miss home."
...
After a few minutes of speaking, Ling Chao bowed her head, a soft smile spreading on her lips after seeing Zhao Tian "Thank you, Your Highness..."
"It.. feels great after seeing Mr.Tian..."
Lyra Talon giggled playfully. "All right, enough with the formalities. You can call me by my name, you know."
Ling Chao blinked in surprise before offering a tentative smile. "Then I'll call you Senior sister, if that's all right."
Lyra nodded as she tapped her shoulder, "Since you're Zhao's friend, I'll be looking after you from now on. Oh, and you're staying in the dorms, right? You can move into my room. It'll be easier for me to keep an eye on you."
Ling Chao's eyes widened in shock. "Eh? But-"
Lyra shook her head firmly. "No buts. Zhao asked me to take care of you, and that's what I'll do. Pack your things and come to my room later. I'll send you the details."
Ling Chao, flustered but grateful, nodded quickly. "O-Okay…"
As they re-entered the classroom, the middle-aged instructor glanced up but said nothing.
Lyra Talon peeked in and glanced at all the students inside "No one should mess with my Little sister."
...
Zhao Tian took a soft breath and mumbled "Now that I have connected with Chao, I can directly speak to her from now on."
Ning Zhilian gave a nod "En..."
At this time, the woman came with coffee and snacks "Here.. Your Highness, Your Majesty..."
...
Zhao Tian and Ning Zhilian were sitting in an open-door restaurant at night as they ate their dinner.
Ning Zhilian, chewing her food had a thoughtful expression on her face as she mumbled "Tian.. I am also thinking of entering seclusion. What do you say?"
Hearing this, Zhao Tian gave a nod "Yeah... you also have to train."
Ning Zhilian's gaze softened "It must be around two years... and after that, we can spend a lot of time."
"En."
