Shen Jinxiao's Violet Vibrance mission had appeared on the screens in the hall.
Immediately, students in Li Luo's vicinity were starting to converge on his position.
"What's going on?"
"Is a Violet Vibrance mentor giving this new student a test?"
"Li Luo? The young lord of House Luolan?"
"Hehe. Poor fella. How's one supposed to survive a gank like that?"
"A bit harsh, yeah."
"..."
On the highest dais, the little emperor recognized Li Luo on screen. "That's unfair. Isn't this bullying?" He piped up innocently.
The First Princess laid a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Absolute fairness rarely exists in this world," she said softly. "Violet Vibrance mentors have the highest authority to test the new students. It is one of their responsibilities."
"Of course... this test from mentor Shen Jinxiao seems a little slanted, doesn’t it?"
She directed the last question to Vice Principal Su Xin.
Su Xin nodded solemnly. "Indeed, it is a little outside the box. But during the Choosing, Violet Vibrance mentors can do anything they wish to test students, as long as they do not risk their lives.
"Still, this might be a good opportunity for the student Li Luo to prove himself. If he can demonstrate his potential and excellence, he will be showered in laurels."
The First Princess did not comment. Performing well when ganked was no easy task. It was likely that he would end up being a stepping stone for others.
Li Luo was in trouble.
"Shen Jinxiao is going too far!" Yan Lingqing cried from her seat.
This was blatant bias. Who could deal with a gank like this?
Jiang Qing'e was expressionless. There was no outward anger, but her calm eyes held killing intent.
Jiang Qing'e reached out a finger and traced it lightly on the stone railing in front of them. Bits of stone flew as she carved two words into it.
Shen Jinxiao.
Yan Lingqing had a look of surprise when she saw Jiang Qing'e calmly carving his name. "What are you doing?" she asked in a hushed voice.
Jiang Qing'e wiped the words away as casually as she had carved them. "Practicing the markings I'll leave on his grave. After all, he once taught me before; it's only proper for me to buy him a gravestone."
Yan Lingqing's jaw dropped, then she giggled. Jiang Qing'e, you're really a monster. Already ready to bury a Violet Vibrance mentor?
Are you that angry?
......
The stir that the Violet Vibrance mission had created in the Newcomers' Hall was nothing compared to the action on the battleground.
In a radius of dozens of miles, the students that received the mission perked up with wild enthusiasm.
A Violet Vibrance mission so quickly?
Defeat Li Luo? That was an easy violet talisman!
Many of the students pulled out books containing the newcomers' information that they had bought at exorbitant prices. They looked up Li Luo.
