Chapter Seven: Ugly Girl Annie
When several people arrived in the capital, it was already dinner time. The woman took three big men to bid farewell to Lin Feng. Lin Feng naturally wouldn't retain them, but out of politeness, he still made a few polite remarks and said some courteous words about inviting guests for meals.
But who would have thought that after listening, the woman's face showed a look of annoyance and said: "I knew you didn't have good intentions."
This sentence made Lin Feng want to cry without tears. How could he explain it? Should he say "I was just kidding"? If he didn't explain, then he would really seem like he had ill intentions... Whether or not to explain became a particularly headache-inducing problem for Lin Feng.
But before Lin Feng could think of a response, the woman thought for a moment and then spoke again: "You're just a kid, you don't even know what it means to have ill intentions. However, I am indeed hungry, so let's find a place to eat..."
This time, Lin Feng was stunned.
Alright, let's just eat then... but why can't I feel even a bit of hunger?
But the woman apparently didn't think that much, seeing Lin Feng not answering, she personally led three big men to walk forward, Lin Feng noticed that the three big men all had a mournful face, seemingly just like himself, fundamentally hadn't felt a bit of hunger...
The woman seemed to be extremely familiar with the imperial capital, and after a few rounds of walking, she almost got Lin Feng, who had never been to the imperial capital before, dizzy. Finally, at around sunset, the woman was satisfied with a place.
Looking at the table full of dishes, except for the woman who was eating voraciously without any image, the remaining three men and a little boy had no appetite at all.
Lin Feng was secretly frustrated, originally a table of food that would have opened everyone's appetite, but because they were facing an ugly girl, no one had even the slightest bit of appetite. The person in question, whether intentionally or unintentionally, stuffed delicious dishes into their mouth while saying vaguely: "Everyone eat, aren't you guys hungry?"
"Even that three-minute-cooked beef looks better than her..."
This sentence is Lin Feng's innermost words.
Watching the woman quickly finish a table full of dishes like a whirlwind sweeping away the remaining clouds, Lin Feng let out a sigh and asked: "Respected female knight, I still don't know your name."
"What's with asking for my name? Is there something wrong...?"
The girl subconsciously opened her mouth to refuse, but suddenly thought that Lin Feng was just a little kid, and changed her words: "Okay, you can call me Annie."
Annie... My god!! Lin Feng's body shook and he almost fell off his chair.
However, fortunately, he had withstood the test of "Ruhua" (a famous Chinese beauty), and his mental quality was still pretty good. After clearing his throat, Lin Feng tentatively asked: "Uh, this, Miss Annie, you seem to be quite familiar with the Imperial City?"
"Of course, what is it you want to ask?" Annie said with her mouth full of beef.
Lin Feng averted his gaze from Annie's face and asked, "I was wondering how to get to Paul College. I heard that tomorrow is the last day for recruitment of students at Paul College. The purpose of my trip to the Imperial City this time is to hope that I can become a member of Paul College."
"Oh? You want to sign up to be a warrior? But do you know that the admission requirements for Paul College are extremely strict?"
Annie stopped eating and seriously sized up Lin Feng with a pair of eyes, her tone not polite at all: "Is it just because of this physique that looks far from robust?"
"Hehe, I have confidence in myself."
Facing Annie's undisguised ridicule, Lin Feng had full confidence in himself. To say that a year ago, his weak body would have found it very difficult to pass the assessment of the small college in town. But now, after nearly a year of wood-chopping training, Lin Feng's physique had undergone a significant improvement. If only talking about wood-chopping training, Lin Feng could at most be considered healthy.
However, he has a unique way of meditation, while enhancing his spiritual power, the ions absorbed into his body are also strengthening every muscle, skeleton, and even internal organs in his body.
Although it doesn't look like it on the surface, Lin Feng's current muscle strength has actually reached the standard of a second-level warrior!
At the age of eleven, he already had second-level strength and should be considered a genius.
So he is very confident in himself!
But Annie obviously wasn't clear about it. After listening to Lin Feng's words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Alright then, since you're so confident, let's go sign up together later."
After saying this sentence, she put her energy into the dinner table again.
"However... at this time now, the academy is probably already closed, isn't it?"
"Just follow me and I can guarantee that you'll be able to register," Annie muttered vaguely.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up immediately, could it be... this ugly girl is actually a relative of someone important?
Lin Feng's doubts were actually what he was worried about. When they arrived at the Imperial Capital, it was already dusk. By the time they came to eat here, the sun had already set behind the mountains. After waiting for their group to finish dinner, it would probably be dark already!!
Even the teacher in charge of registration at the college should have eaten by now, right?
However, judging from Annie's tone, she seems to be extremely confident about getting accepted!
Actually, Lin Feng could go register again tomorrow, but he had become extremely curious about the identity of this ugly girl.
So he decided to try his luck today!!
After paying for the meal, Lin Feng followed Annie onto the road to Paul College. Although the meal had cost Lin two silver coins, he didn't mind much. What was strange now was that three burly men were also following them to Paul College at Annie's invitation.
Why didn't you settle down those three big men and instead let them follow us to the college?
With a deep sense of puzzlement, Lin Feng finally arrived in front of the famous Paul Academy in the imperial capital under Annie's leadership.
However, what disappointed Lin Feng was that the Paul Academy did not have the magnificent buildings, high gates, luxurious floors and corridors inlaid with magic illuminating stones as he had imagined, but... all the buildings looked extremely simple.
The majestic outline of the college gate, half deep red and half pitch black, subtly implies the rigid rules of "iron and blood". Through the gate, rows of neat buildings are arranged in order. The yellowish walls reveal the marks left by years. The famous Paul College in the imperial capital exudes an ancient and traditional atmosphere.
Lin Feng gazed blankly at Paul College, his tone filled with regret: "So this is Paul College!"
"What? Did I disappoint you? But you also know, to understand a person's true nature, one should observe their inner heart, not their appearance... Paul College should be the same."
Annie walked forward while urging: "Don't just stand there, come on over quickly."
Lin Feng's face was full of black lines, and he secretly thought: Ah, you old fellow, this sentence shouldn't have a second meaning, right?
