No one noticed that, at this moment, in the corner of the restaurant sat a woman dressed in a black wool coat, wearing sunglasses that obscured her face.
Seated diagonally across from her was a middle-aged man with a gloomy demeanor.
It was as if the two suddenly became aware of something, they exchanged glances and momentarily froze.
Then, as if in tacit understanding, they lowered their heads and pretended not to recognize each other.
Minister Yang from the Zhidiya region is here… Could his purpose be the same as mine? While Minister Lan was deep in thought, she caught sight of a young girl standing up in the distance.
A flicker of realization flashed through her mind, leaving her no time to consider further. She lightly tapped her right index finger twice on the table.
The white flower-shaped earring on her right ear instantly transformed into a droplet of water, falling to the ground and silently following behind the girl.
---Restaurant Restroom, Ladies' Room.
The admission standards for top universities’ special recruitments changed every year, but since her specialty was beast combat, the test would likely revolve around battles. That shouldn’t be a big problem…
For now, the priority was to pass the D-rank Beast Master exam first, which also didn’t seem too difficult…
The biggest problem was the cultural studies score. She wasn’t sure if winning this championship would lower the top universities’ cultural requirements for the top ten ranked students…
As these thoughts swirled in her mind, Qiao Sang reached the sink and placed her hands under the faucet.
"Splash~"
The water didn’t scatter upon contact with her hands but instead clumped together like jelly.
What the hell… Qiao Sang instinctively shook her hand.
The milky-white jelly fell onto the sink.
Something unexpected happened.
In the center of the jelly, a blue eye suddenly opened. Then, in an instant, it expanded, transforming into a pet beast about 30 centimeters in size, entirely milky white, with a soft and bouncy body.
So it’s a pet beast… Having witnessed all sorts of bizarre pet beasts in different regions over the past few months, Qiao Sang remained unfazed.
She asked, "Are you lost?"
"Guo Guo." The milky-white pet beast shook its head, then opened its mouth and reached inside with its paw, rummaging around.
Ew, that’s disgusting… Qiao Sang grimaced.
The next second, she was stunned.
Because the pet beast pulled out a transparent document folder containing white sheets of paper from its mouth.
"Guo Guo." The milky-white pet beast handed over the transparent folder.
Qiao Sang: …
She stared at the water-stained folder in silence for a few seconds before decisively turning to leave.
"Guo Guo!"
The milky-white pet beast panicked and quickly blocked her path, letting out a cry.
Qiao Sang had no choice but to stop. She asked, "Is this for me?"
"Guo Guo!"
The pet beast nodded.
"Do you know me?" Qiao Sang asked again.
"Guo Guo!" The pet beast nodded again.
Just then, a very familiar mechanical voice sounded:
"Guo Didi, a high-level water-type pet beast from the Ancient Guwu region. It can solidify and liquefy into various shapes. Despite its soft appearance, it is extremely stubborn and will not give up until it achieves its goal."
Qiao Sang turned her head in silence.
Sure enough, she spotted Little Treasure holding a pet beast identification device.
"Xun~"
Sensing his master’s gaze, Little Treasure grinned sheepishly and vanished from sight.
Qiao Sang:n…
"Guo Guo!"
At that moment, Guo Didi pushed the transparent document folder forward again.
Qiao Sang lowered her gaze and stared at the folder for two seconds before finally reaching out to take it.
Through the transparent cover, she could clearly see the title on the topmost document:
[Ancient Guwu University Special Recruitment Introduction]
Isn’t this one of the top universities in the Ancient Guwu region…? Qiao Sang was briefly stunned. She looked ahead and realized that Guo Didi had already disappeared.
Who sent this to me…? Qiao Sang wondered, then opened the folder and scanned through the pages.

Direct admission…?
Qiao Sang's eyes widened as she read the last line.
National first place, owning an Ice Xilu, that’s me!
If she applied to Ancient Guwu University, she wouldn't have to take any tests or even the entrance exam?!
Qiao Sang’s heart pounded wildly.
She quickly flipped through the remaining documents.
The Ancient Guwu region had three top-tier universities:
Ancient Mist University
Haicheng University
Mayuan University
All three had special recruitment programs, and all included the same direct admission clause for national champions with an Ice Xilu.
To be honest, Qiao Sang was tempted.
These were top universities, the best of the best!
Among them, Ancient Guwu University ranked 9th nationwide among all elite institutions!
Just apply, and I get in directly… How could she not be moved by such an offer?
Qiao Sang took a deep breath to calm herself.
The special clause was clearly tailored for her. Someone had gone out of their way to deliver this to her through Guo Didi.
Ancient Guwu region is really… so thoughtful!
In that moment, her impression of Ancient Guwu soared, it almost felt like a second home.
Just as she was basking in her emotions, the restroom lights suddenly went out.
"Bang!" The door slammed shut.
What the hell… Qiao Sang was startled and immediately became alert.
Just as she was about to rush forward and open the door, a ghostly green pet beast, resembling a will-o’-the-wisp, appeared, holding a transparent document folder containing white papers.
Qiao Sang instinctively checked her hand, her own folder was still there.
"Nuo Nuo."
The ghostly pet beast extended the folder toward her.
Qiao Sang: …
"For me?" She asked cautiously.
"Nuo Nuo." The pet beast nodded.
[Promise Spirit, a high-level ghost-type pet beast from Zhidiya region. Never make promises in its presence, if you fail to keep them, terrible things may happen.]
Another mechanical voice rang out.
Qiao Sang turned and, unsurprisingly, saw Little Treasure again.
This time, Little Treasure didn’t hide but eyed the ghostly pet beast warily.
"Nuo Nuo." The Promise Spirit ignored the scrutiny and simply extended the folder again.
You could have just handed it over in the first place instead of scaring me… Qiao Sang muttered internally and politely accepted it.
"Nuo Nuo."
The Promise Spirit smiled before vanishing.
The next second, the lights turned back on, and the door unlocked.
