Bai Feifei ignored the Old-Timer's voice for a moment and quickly called out toward the door:
“I'm here.”
When Wan Qianhong pushed the door open and entered, her face wore a complex expression that was hard to describe.
She held a document in her hand, flipping it back and forth as if she were struggling with how to speak.
“Your rank assessment is out.” Wan Qianhong sat on the edge of the bed and handed over the file.
Bai Feifei took it and looked.
【Scavenger Rank: Rank 4.】
【Note: Provisional.】
“Provisional?” Bai Feifei was stunned for a moment.
“It was Prophet Liu Yun’s decision,” Wan Qianhong said, her lips curling downward slightly.
“She said that a Rank 5 Scavenger in Dawn City needs to hold an administrative position. Given your current status, it’s a bit inconvenient to arrange one for you.”
“So, she’s setting you at Rank 4 for now and will supplement it later.”
After Wan Qianhong finished, even she felt it was a bit hard to justify. She frowned and added:
“But I heard that you showed incredible talent during the test. You clearly should have been rated as a Rank 5 Scavenger.”
“Is Teacher Liu... trying to suppress you?”
Bai Feifei shook her head.
“It’s fine. My current strength is indeed at Rank 4. The Prophet is right.”
She didn't quite understand how Scavenger ranks were determined.
But the Old-Timer inside her said she was Rank 4, so she definitely was. After all, no one could be more of an authority than him.
Besides, considering the Old-Timer’s attitude toward Liu Yun yesterday, the fact that the Prophet hadn't branded her a sinner again was already quite magnanimous...
Wan Qianhong looked at her blankly and sighed.
“You... thank you for being so understanding.”
She had thought that with Bai Feifei’s lawless personality, she would be very dissatisfied with this result.
In truth, she felt guilty. She suspected her teacher didn't want Bai Feifei to become Rank 5 because she didn't want Bai Feifei to break her own record.
But she didn't know how to say that. She was very conflicted, feeling a strange sense of having wronged Bai Feifei.
Bai Feifei looked at Wan Qianhong, her heart equally hesitant.
Liu Yun was Wan Qianhong’s teacher, and she didn't know if she should say anything.
Those suspicions about Liu Yun might just be the Evil God’s casual jokes. If she actually spoke up, it might be very inappropriate.
In the end, she forced a smile and mimicked the Old-Timer’s tone, saying:
“If the Prophet has any good items to boost strength in the future, it would be great if she could keep me in mind.”
Wan Qianhong nodded, suddenly looking a bit more cheerful as if she had remembered something pleasant.
“By the way, there’s some good news for you.”
Good news?
“Your talent has been noticed. The Lord City Lord personally signed a mission for you—he wants you to go to Qingping Academy to be a combat instructor for the Elite Class!”
“Finally, a good assignment. You can take a bit of a break. The City Lord is quite decent, after all.”
Bai Feifei: ?
She blinked, still not quite out of her state of suspicion regarding Liu Yun.
“Instructor?!” Once she processed it, Bai Feifei reacted as if her tail had been stepped on. “No way! Wouldn't that just be leading the youth astray?!”
How old was she? They wanted her to teach others?
What if the students were older than her!
Her strength and combat experience were indeed far beyond her peers, but... that was because she had the Old-Timer in her head!
What could she teach on her own?
And even more lethally, if she couldn't teach them and let the Evil God log in and mess around, that would truly be harming people.
With that Evil God’s twisted sense of humor, he would definitely cause chaos!
A chill ran through Bai Feifei’s heart, and she quickly rejected the idea.
“This really won't work. My mental state is a bit unstable. I shouldn't influence the students.”
“What if they're in danger being around me?”
Hearing this, Xu Mo spoke up in her mind, sounding annoyed:
“Excuse me?”
“Why do I feel like you're talking about me?”
Bai Feifei’s heart tightened. “I didn't mean it like that...”
Wan Qianhong looked at Bai Feifei and said with some confusion:
“Leading them astray? I don't think so... As a combat instructor, you just need to pass on your combat experience.”
“I know you. You're not some homicidal maniac who kills without reason.”
Bai Feifei still shook her head and said seriously:
“Senior Wan, can you help me turn it down? I still want to investigate things related to the potions, or go somewhere more dangerous.”
She was speaking from the heart.
Dawn City was destined to fall.
This was something the Old-Timer had told her from the very beginning.
Although everything looked calm now, the things the Evil God said had never been wrong.
What was the point of slacking off as an instructor at an academy?
The time was very tight right now!
Wan Qianhong was also stunned to see her so resistant.
“Are you serious? Qingping Academy is the best institution in the Inner City. The students there are all wealthy and influential. Being an instructor there is a position many people would kill for...”
“I know,” Bai Feifei interrupted her. “But I want to go somewhere where I can actually do something.”
Wan Qianhong opened her mouth, knowing Bai Feifei’s personality. After thinking for a moment, she nodded.
“You really can't stay idle. If that's the case, then fine. I'll...”
Halfway through her sentence, Xu Mo’s voice suddenly rang in Bai Feifei’s head.
“Take this mission.”
“It might be worth a look.”
Bai Feifei was instantly stunned.
“Why?”
“Didn't you say before that Dawn City is facing a cataclysm? How can I waste time doing something like this now?”
Xu Mo said lazily:
“Suit yourself. I just suddenly remembered something.”
“The people of this Qingping Academy... they should have all been wiped out in an operation before the fall of Dawn City.”
“Counting the time, it should be about now?”
“Considering the current issue with the potions... Tsk—I’m starting to have some interesting thoughts. You can go take a look if you want.”
Bai Feifei: !
She felt her heart skip a beat.
“You mean...”
“I don't mean anything.” Xu Mo’s tone returned to that nonchalant, cavalier style.
“All things in the world have their destiny. Since this City Lord took the initiative to arrange for you to go there, hehe...”
“Maybe it's an opportunity. Go see exactly how they died.”
“It’s fine. If you don't want to go, it doesn't matter.”
How could she not go now!
Given Bai Feifei’s personality, since he had put it that way, there was no way she could ignore it.
She had just been assigned as an instructor at a school, only to be told that everyone at that school was about to be wiped out?
Bai Feifei was silent for a few seconds.
Then she suddenly looked up at Wan Qianhong.
Wan Qianhong had just finished saying that if this mission was uninteresting, she would go find Liu Yun to change it to a combat-related mission by her side.
But then Bai Feifei spoke again.
“Senior Wan.”
“I've thought about it. I'll accept this mission.”
Wan Qianhong: ?
She looked at the girl in front of her, whose mind changed faster than one could flip a page, with a face full of bewilderment.
“Didn't you just say you didn't want to go?”
Bai Feifei: ...
“I was just joking. Now I want to go again.” She had reached the point where she could say such things without blushing or her heart racing.
