Some nervous little girls still did not step down.

Linke knew she was waiting for the nobles to announce that she was eligible to attend the Imperial College Entrance Examination.

With her strength, she did indeed have the qualifications to do so.

No civilian can know whether this entry is a card or a document, because no civilian has ever received this honor.

It had been a miracle year.

The nobles were discussing amongst themselves, but no one came out to express their stance first. This was already out of their expectations.

Soon enough, the information about the little girl was sent to the representatives of the large families. Some of the information was filled in by the little girl herself during the Large Competition while the others were collected by the large families after a preliminary investigation.

The second elder quickly looked through the information in his hand before handing it to Lin Ke behind him. Lin Ke was stunned for a moment before naturally accepting it.

The girl's name was Lilith Mona, and she came from the West Side. Her parents had died since she was eight years old, and she was orphaned, supported by a few kind neighbors. She was seventeen this year, but perhaps because she was too petite, she looked even younger, and she had a brother who was ten years old.

The information was very detailed. Rinkey could imagine how hard it was for an eight-year-old girl and her one-year-old brother to survive in the West District, which caused Ellie to feel despair. How much suffering had the young girl endured? It was hard to imagine.

"I think we should give Lilisse what she deserves," The representative of the Morgan family of the seven big families was the first to throw out the olive branch. This was a big family that had been passed down in the Wind City for a long time, its foundation and profound strength was almost no weaker than that of the Gaia and Bitter families. "Lilisse Mona, she won the glory that belongs to her with her extraordinary talent in front of everyone."

Respectable elder of the Morgan family, I have no intention to offend you, but the spots to participate in the Imperial Academy's entrance examinations for a long time have always belonged to the nobility. There is no doubt about Lily's talent, but her identity is still in doubt, I think that at this moment, she should enter into a sacred contract with a brilliant image and join a family with a noble surname like Morgan, becoming a noble servant. The one who spoke was another of the seven noble families, the Gao Adi family. Everyone who had the ability to come into contact with the higher-ups of the Wind City aristocracy knew that they were the best followers of the Morgan family's will.

Ke Er from the Gaia clan and the old man from the Beetle clan did not say anything in tacit understanding. It seemed like they had no intention of talking either. A commoner like him, a Class 4 Xiong Li, was of no use to them. The path of cultivation was filled with many obstacles and accidents, who knew how many geniuses stopped halfway, and how many were killed before they could even shine?

Lin Ke did not pay much attention to the dirty methods used by the nobles, she only quietly looked at the lonely figure. She had a head of straight black hair that made Cohen feel incomparable warmth, neatly trimmed, as well as a pair of eyes as black as ink. Her petite and weak body quietly stood there, her beautiful big eyes exuding a sorrowful aura, which was out of place with the current situation.

"I think she really needs a noble family to move on, a place that can protect her and give her a future, but obviously she's not suited to the smell of copper. Look at her, she's so powerful, I think she'll want to go to the army and experience what it is like to be murderous." The second most powerful figure in the Wind City military, the representative of the Traps family, obviously had the confidence to fight against the Morgan family.

"I'm sorry, I have to point out that your understanding of business is too shallow. In this vast and boundless field, it is not a wise choice for her to kill in the army," the Morgan family representative retorted, unwilling to be outdone.

"As a professional who strives for the ultimate in strength, you can only get better training in the army. You can only comprehend the true meaning of strength between life and death. As a member of the Warlord Empire, do you want to deny this?" A representative of the Trupes family was a very eloquent person.

"How do you know that she is really aiming for the pinnacle of power and not for wealth?" The Morgan family representative had a mocking expression on his face.

"Then why not let her make her own choice?" Lin Ke suddenly opened his mouth, causing everyone to look at him in surprise.

"Nonsense!" The second elder's expression changed, "When did the lord start to speak?!"

Sitting not too far away from the second elder, Ke Er was astonished as well. After giving a deep look at Lin Ke, he began to laugh loudly. "Could it be that our young master Coin has taken a fancy to this beautiful girl?" Coll's tone was full of ridicule, but there was no hint of a smile in his eyes. He stared at Link and said, "An 18-year-old Level 4 fighter is worthy of being a maid for my nephew Cohen. If you want to tell Coll that your poor father is still in the army, I would be happy to help you.

After the second elder looked at Ke Er in surprise, he noticed that the other representatives were also looking at the middle-aged man with a rarely seen playful expression. "Master Ke Er, you are kidding. Children don't understand the rules. Once we return to the family, big brother must severely punish them. Otherwise, it will be breaking the rules."

"What are you talking about?" The old man from Beetle's house also opened his mouth. He seemed to glance at Ke Er and then at Lin Ke who was standing there looking a little shy and grateful, "We old guys shouldn't care about matters between children. We can only give them some support."

The entire audience was stunned.

But Linke became even more 'shy'.

The atmosphere on the high platform was strange.

It was unheard-of for a conflict of interest to be eventually thrown into a mess by a young, inexperienced child.

But that was the way it happened.

"Hahaha, I was the one who was the most slow on the uptake, so I guess I should just give it up to the little nephew Cohen of the Mutters, or else the Rhine Family Patriarch would blame me for being insensible," after the atmosphere had been depressing for a while, the Morgan Family's representative was the first to open his mouth and beat Cohen to death. The Mutters family had no choice but to accept this favor.

Sometimes, a favor from a family would be hard to repay. Lin Ke silently sighed in his heart. He knew that he would definitely suffer when he returned home. He concealed the bitterness in his heart as he respectfully bowed to the representative of the Morgan family.

The representative of the Trumpus family glanced at the representatives of the Beit and Gaia families and spoke after the representative of the Morgan family. He had a complicated expression on his face. "Matters between children are indeed better decided by themselves."

Linke quickly bowed to the representative of the Trump Family.

The Second Elder was still wearing his old face, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Ke. This made Lin Ke somewhat unsure of himself, and also made the other old foxes secretly laugh.

"Then it will be difficult," Loke suddenly spoke up again, "Since young master Cohen's maid talent is so great, then the three of them, including young master Cohen, won't be able to share the remaining two places, right?"

The second elder could not help but glare angrily at Loke before glaring at Lin Ke. He gritted his teeth and said, "Naturally, Cohen will give him his spot."

"That would be a bit unfair to young master Cohen, but I'm guessing the Mutters' family isn't short of a candidate. With young master Cohen's talent, it's only right for him to enter the War God Academy." Loke's regretful expression made Rinkey feel disgusted.

I think it's a good idea to let the three little guys have a fight, "Ke Er once again opened his mouth, however, he didn't care about it at all, he continued to stare at Lin Ke and continued to speak," Since we're going to select the young elites and recklessly ask Cohen's nephew to give up his seat, it might leave a bad impression in the hearts of the other two future stars of Wind City. On the contrary, it would be a fight in broad daylight, with the victor going to the capital to fight.

The representative of the Morgan family looked at Ke Er and then looked at the second elder of the Moutes family with a smile. "It's indeed more just to fight in the last match."

Before the old man from the Bitter Family could say anything, the boy with long fiery red hair standing behind him could not help but blurt out, "It's better to fight! If you win, go to the capital. If you lose, then I'll give up my spot and fight again in the future! "

The old man could not help but rebuke, "Feyas, do you miss the confinement room of the clan?" This sentence frightened the red-haired boy into being silent for a moment before he spoke again, "Then let's fight to determine who will belong."

Only now did the Second Elder seem to sigh and agree, "From what you two have just said, let's fight!"

Locke looked angry and speechless.

The crowd in the plaza had long since dispersed.

Half a day later, the news of the three Class 3 Geniuses having agreed to fight for the remaining two spots spread throughout the city, causing the citizens to be overjoyed. A month later, another good show was put on.

At this moment, Lin Ke was kneeling in a spacious carriage, with his head lowered as if he were to be beaten up or scolded. Opposite him, Second Elder Shan Di was leaning leisurely against a soft cushion, completely ignoring the exasperated look on the high platform.

"How is it? What did you get from making a ruckus this time?" The Second Elder asked in an indifferent tone, while Lin Ke's heart tightened. From Cohen's memories, he could see that the deepest impression he had of the Second Elder was fear. Naturally, there was a reason for this.

Second Grandpa's reply, from the looks of the situation on the high platform, the seven big clans of Wind City are not as solid as before, and the relationship between them is very complicated, "Lin Ke carefully glanced at Sandy, then calmed down when he saw that the latter didn't have the slightest hint of anger in his eyes." The Gao Yardys seem to follow the Morgan Family, the Truths need to look at the Beetle Family's face, and the Beetle Family is also very afraid of the Gaia Family's existence.

The second elder nodded his head, "That's good enough. Why do you insist on having that girl?"

"I know I was wrong, Second Grandpa."

"What was the mistake?"

"The clan is currently in a difficult period, and the best way to survive is to conceal my strength. My performance in this Large Competition is somewhat eye-catching. This is something that even I wasn't able to grasp beforehand …" Lin Ke quietly tried to defend himself. Seeing that Shandi's complexion wasn't good, he hurriedly went back to the topic, "What's even more inappropriate is to stick up for Lilia and let our family owe us a lot of favors."

Second Elder Shan Di was silent for a moment before he said, "Scram. I will not plead for mercy on your grandfather's behalf."

Lin Ke hurriedly saluted and left, but secretly let out a long breath.
