Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 184 Training at the National Government? I Need to Make a Condition

When Qin Xiaonan saw that it was Dean Xiao, she guessed that it might be about the training at the National Government.

The National Server Trials are a year-long training program for members selected by various factions within the nation, culminating in a final battle.

Qin Xiaonan was somewhat interested in the National Government's training program, but he was more interested in the travel itself than the training.

This magical world is rich and colorful, and Soraka, her clone, is traveling around the world. However, most of the places she has traveled through are areas of demon empires, where she has seen different demon tribes and the beautiful scenery of the world.

However, Soraka visited relatively few of the human nations on various continents.

The main body can take this opportunity to visit other countries around the world, taste the local delicacies, and meet beautiful women from different regions.

The two then went to Mingzhu Academy together.

The bronze nameplate in front of Dean Xiao's office gleamed warmly in the sunlight.

When the two pushed open the door and entered, Dean Xiao looked up in surprise, but his eyes did not show any astonishment. The relationship between Qin Xiaonan and Mu Nujiao had already spread throughout Mingzhu Academy.

However, he knew that Qin Xiaonan had broken through to the high-level, and at this moment he discovered that Mu Nujiao had also broken through to the high-level mage.

Dean Xiao handed over a gold-embossed document, his expression gradually turning serious: "Xiaonan, based on your performance in the ancient capital, the higher-ups have decided to directly admit you as a full member of the National Team. Do your best this time."

The Nationalist government emblem on the document gleamed in the sunlight.

Mu Nujiao's pupils contracted slightly—this was an opportunity that countless scions of noble families would fight tooth and nail for.

She instinctively gripped the hem of her skirt, feeling both joy for her lover and a touch of melancholy.

Given the Mu family's current status in Shanghai, their chances of securing a spot are indeed slim.

"When are we leaving?" Qin Xiaonan took the documents but placed them on the coffee table without even looking at them.

"Go to the capital and assemble as soon as possible."

Qin Xiaonan did not agree immediately, but said, "Dean Xiao, you should have seen it too. Mu Nujiao's strength is fully capable of entering the National Academy team. Could you take her with you? Let's go together."

Dean Xiao did not immediately refuse after hearing this. He stroked the rim of the teacup, and the rising steam drifted upwards.

Qin Xiaonan is a totem guardian, and according to reliable sources, he has more than one totem beast. Moreover, he is extremely powerful. In the recent ancient capital operation, he performed outstandingly, using his high-level cultivation to break into the horde of zombies and go against the current. Furthermore, his totem beast even captured Salang alive...

"I'll try to help you." Dean Xiao put down his teacup.

Qin Xiaonan knew of Dean Xiao's strength; he was among the top-tier forbidden spellcasters. Since he was willing to speak up, there was no problem, and Mu Nujiao's strength was more than sufficient.

As I stepped out of the administration building, the midday sun shone down.

Mu Nujiao stood on the steps, her eyes reflecting the light and shadows of the sky and clouds, hesitant to speak.

She never expected Qin Xiaonan to make such a request to the dean for her sake.

"Are you stupid?" Qin Xiaonan waved her hand in front of her eyes, then suddenly wrapped her arm around her slender waist. "Why are you being so polite with me?"

Before Mu Nujiao could react, warm lips had already covered hers.

The kiss came suddenly yet gently, and Mu Nujiao's face flushed instantly. Her fingers unconsciously gripped his collar—this was on the main road of the academy!
Several exclamations from students came from afar.

He casually released her hand, plucked a fallen sycamore fluff from her hair, and said, "Let's go, we'll have a big meal tonight." He leaned close to Mu Nujiao's flushed earlobe and lowered his voice, "How about we celebrate our round-the-world trip in advance?"

Qin Xiaonan indeed treated this experience as a round-the-world trip.

The mule, blushing and annoyed, stomped on his foot, but secretly tightened her fingers as they intertwined.

The sunlight cast long shadows of the two people, which eventually merged into one at the end of the sycamore-lined avenue.

She knew that no matter what the future held for her, this man would hold her hand firmly and lead her to a wider world.

Dean Xiao is a very reliable person.

The next day, just as dawn was painting the Shanghai skyline red, Qin Xiaonan's communicator lit up. Dean Xiao's steady voice came through the receiver: "The matter is settled." Those four simple words brought a smile to Qin Xiaonan's lips as she leaned against the headboard.

Mu Nujiao was still curled up in her silk quilt, fast asleep, her long hair spread out on her pillow like a flowing spring stream.

Qin Xiaonan tiptoed to the balcony.

"However, Mu Yatou can only participate as a substitute member for now."

"Being a substitute isn't a problem," he said softly. "As long as they can travel with the team, that's fine."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiaonan returned to the bedside and found that Mu Nujiao had already opened her eyes.

Those emerald-like eyes still held a hint of sleepiness.

"It's done."

Qin Xiaonan leaned down and kissed her forehead, "But my precious flower will have to be a substitute."

Mu Nujiao chuckled and dodged his lips, flipping over to pin him beneath her. Sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, painting dappled patterns on her smooth back.

Qin Xiaonan stroked the graceful curve of her back, feeling the smooth, jade-like texture beneath her fingertips: "Perfect, we can now properly experience the customs and cultures of different countries."

Mo Fan was not included in the list of those who would enter the National Academy for training. He had also gone to the ancient capital, which delayed the normal selection process.

He went to rescue Zhang Xiaohou. After bringing Zhang Xiaohou back near Yangyang Village, they joined the team to resist the undead.

However, since Soraka solved the problem of the Abyss of Sha, Mo Fan and the others did not enter the Abyss of Sha to "fight to the death." Therefore, after he returned, he was not nominated and could only participate in the battle to defend the dojo.

At this time, the capital's academy.

Mu Ningxue stood in the center of the training field, her long silver hair dancing in the wind, like a plum blossom braving the snow.

Frost had formed on her fingertips, and the ground around her was already covered with a layer of crystalline ice, exuding a chilling aura.

Just now, she was informed that her spot for training at the National Academy had been forcibly transferred to Mu Tingying by her family.

The reason is simple—her uncle, Mu He, committed a grave mistake in the ancient capital, causing the entire Mu family to be questioned. As Mu He's niece, she was naturally implicated as well.

She could have resigned herself to her fate and accepted her family's arrangements. But Mu Ningxue was unwilling.

"Dean Songhe, fellow mentors." She raised her head, her icy blue eyes resolute and cold. "Please give me a chance."

The power of frost in her hands suddenly erupted—

"Ice crystal bow!"

A longbow formed from pure ice appeared in her hand, its surface crystal clear and radiating a chilling aura.

She drew her bow and nocked an arrow, and an ice arrow instantly formed, shooting through the air.

"boom!"

The arrows shot into the sky, and after falling, they formed large patches of ice crystals on the arena.

There was silence.

Dean Songhe remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Alright, I'll give you a substitute spot."

Mu Ningxue put away her ice bow and bowed deeply.

She knew this was just the beginning.

The path of training at the National Government was not smooth, but she had long been accustomed to moving forward through wind and snow.

"Mu Tingying took away my spot, but she can't take away my future."
