Chapter 132: I'm Applying to Shazhou Beastmaster University Too
Li Qian emerged from Chu Xiran's office with a slight frown.
He couldn't understand why she had said those words.
Could it be because of the rumors spread by Iron Elder about him and her?
Even so, it didn't warrant such an overreaction.
After all, it was just a joke.
Who would take it seriously?
Well... it seemed there was one such fool...
Leaving Chu Xiran's office with a frown, Li Qian headed straight for the school's grand dining hall.
There were three cafeterias in the school, but only the first one was called the "Grand Dining Hall."
The reason was simple; it could accommodate the most students dining simultaneously.
Today was the last day for all senior students at school.
To celebrate the students' smooth graduation and their upcoming diverse paths, today's meal was exceptionally lavish.
Calling it hotel-level wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Moreover, it was a buffet with unlimited servings.
Most importantly, today's lunch was free!
"Qianzi, come here quickly! I grabbed some big crabs and lobsters for you!" As soon as Li Qian entered, he spotted An Paozi waving and calling out to him.
Li Qian's face darkened as he walked over, "Buddy, with your family background, do you really need to grab those crabs and lobsters?"
"Shouldn't you be able to choose any delicacy you want?"
An Paozi shook his head, "No, no. The ones at home cost money, but these here are free."
"As they say, the best things in life are free."
Li Qian was speechless. He didn't sit down but asked, "Where did you get all this?"
An Paozi pointed in a direction, "What are you doing?"
Li Qian walked and talked, "Going to get some more."
An Paozi: "..."
After getting some steak, crabs, and a large lobster, Li Qian slowly walked back. Just then, a familiar figure sitting opposite An Paozi caught his attention.
"What? You don't want me to sit here?" Tu Jiaojiao smiled at Li Qian.
Li Qian smiled awkwardly, "The cafeteria isn't owned by my family..."
After sitting down casually, Li Qian brought up a topic, "Our stingy school is finally being generous today."
"I heard that because of this year's outstanding educational achievements, the province allocated a special fund for education." An Paozi whispered.
Li Qian's face lit up with understanding, "So that's the reason."
Tu Jiaojiao interjected, "You're the reason for this."
After taking a bite of rice, she continued, "I heard that Shazhou Beastmaster University specially recruited you."
"I didn't expect even you to know about it," Li Qian chuckled.
Tu Jiaojiao didn't respond and remained silent for a moment. Then, she suddenly spoke up, "I really envy you. You can enter Shazhou Beastmaster University effortlessly and even negotiate terms with the school, unlike us who have to work hard to get in."
"With your excellent grades, you can apply to any university..." Li Qian began to comfort her, but halfway through his sentence, he noticed something amiss, "Wait, what did you just say..."
Li Qian looked at Tu Jiaojiao in surprise, and under An Paozi's confused gaze, he confirmed, "If I heard correctly, did you just say that you're also applying to Shazhou Beastmaster University?"
Before Tu Jiaojiao could respond, An Paozi was the first to show an incredulous expression.
He widened his eyes, looking at Tu Jiaojiao as if he needed to re-evaluate his classmate.
After staring for a while, he turned his gaze back to Li Qian.
Li Qian's lips twitched slightly at this.
He knew why An Paozi was glaring at him.
But what did this have to do with him?
Wait...
Recalling the words Chu Xiran had just said to him, Li Qian felt that this matter might indeed have something to do with him.
The phrase "If you don't love, please don't hurt" must have been referring to Tu Jiaojiao...
This situation seemed to be getting more and more absurd.
Li Qian clicked his tongue and asked, "Are you joking?"
Tu Jiaojiao picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in her mouth, "Choosing a Beast Taming University is a major decision for the future. How could I possibly be joking about it?"
Li Qian wanted to retort directly upon hearing this.
Knowing that it was a significant decision for the future, why would she choose Shazhou Beastmaster Academy?
After some thought, he softened his tone, "It's indeed an unexpected choice. I don't quite understand why you would apply to Shazhou Beastmaster Academy."
To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Li Qian added, "I'm not saying that Shazhou Beastmaster Academy is bad, but it's quite far away."
"Then why did you choose Shazhou Beastmaster Academy?" Tu Jiaojiao asked, looking at Li Qian.
Li Qian shrugged and didn't hide the truth, "Because they offered the most!"
Tu Jiaojiao smiled, "My reason is the same as yours. Among all the Beast Taming Universities, Shazhou Beastmaster Academy offers the most generous scholarships after enrollment."
Li Qian: "..."
Could this conversation be any more superficial? What's with this talk about scholarships?
With their family's status, would they still care about such a small scholarship? This scholarship couldn't compare to his special recruitment conditions.
Is choosing Shazhou Beastmaster Academy a good reason?
If Shazhou Beastmaster Academy dared to offer Li Qian such conditions, he guaranteed that he would reject it without a second thought.
Tu Jiaojiao wasn't telling the truth, but Li Qian couldn't say anything about it.
After all, they weren't close, and their relationship wasn't particularly good.
It's not a good idea to speak too deeply when you're not close.
"Qianzi, why don't you also apply to Shazhou Beastmaster Academy?" An Paozi suddenly suggested.
Li Qian glanced at him and mercilessly shot him down, "If you can get in, it's not just about applying to Shazhou Beastmaster Academy. Even if you were to apply to Zhonghai Beast Taming University, I would fully support you!"
It's not a matter of choice; it's a matter of not having a choice at all!
An Paozi was a bit dissatisfied, "My scores might be a little lower, but I can ask my dad to donate some money to Shazhou Beastmaster Academy."
Li Qian: "..."
Is this about money? Would Shazhou Beastmaster Academy need the small amount of money your family can donate? Li Qian felt too embarrassed to continue discouraging him.
An Paozi, lost in his own fantasy, said, "Who knows, there might be a chance. After all, Iron Elder is a senior at Shazhou Beastmaster Academy, and he praised me before, saying I'm a talent."
Li Qian didn't know what to say.
This guy has no sense of reality at all.
He decided not to persuade him further. After all, his father would support him, and even with poor grades, he wouldn't miss out on a Beast Taming University.
Moreover, he had already awakened his Beast Space and contracted with the Green Scaled Serpent. His Beast Taming talent was above average, specializing in offense and capable of enhancing his Companion Beast's attack power in a short time. Perhaps there was a glimmer of hope.
