My Unpopular Neighbor Girl Has Hidden Identities-Chapter 444: Four hundred forty-four, asking for leave

"Where to?" Qin Yushen asked. He and Xiao Ning had long guessed that there were cultivators in the Emperor Realm, so they did not doubt Beishan’s words.

"Jiuling Tower. Jiuling Tower is a training tower left from the Ancient Times. It has a total of one hundred and eight steps, and each step you take subjects you to double the pressure and tests your mental state as well. However, to this day, no one has ever reached the top of Jiuling Tower. Emperors throughout the ages, as well as some legendary figures from the West, have attempted it, but none have succeeded," Beishan said, a trace of regret in his voice.

"What benefits do we get if we reach the top of Jiuling Tower?" Song Yan Ning inquired.

"It is said that there are nine Spirit Veins at the top of Jiuling Tower, and cultivators can use these Spirit Veins to cultivate once they reach the top," Beishan replied, longing in his heart to reach the bottom of Jiuling Tower himself, but his talent limited him to only the thirtieth floor.

Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen exchanged glances. "We’re going to Jiuling Tower." What they needed most now was to enhance their own strength, and if, as Beishan had said, there were nine Spirit Veins in Jiuling Tower, they wanted to give it a try. Although they couldn’t guarantee reaching the top, they would definitely try their hardest.

"Jiuling Tower will be fully open in the Emperor Realm in three days. You can just go in, and we will withdraw the killing order against you tonight," Beishan, pleased that Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen had agreed, hoped they were the Emperors they were looking for.

Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen nodded.

Beishan smiled, "We will meet again." After saying this, he turned and vanished. If Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen could make it to the top of the Emperor Realm’s tower, it would be great news for those cultivators who had been trapped on Earth unable to ascend to immortality.

Reaching the top meant that they might be the ones who could open the barrier between heaven and earth, allowing them to ascend to immortality.

Before ascending, however, they would select a group of capable cultivators to replace their current positions to guard this blue planet from alien invaders.

Ever since he replaced his master during the deification era, he had been guarding Earth, dealing with alien visitors almost every year, most of whom they had annihilated.

Some asteroids that posed great threats to Earth were also shifted in their trajectory by them; otherwise, this blue planet would have been extinct many times over.

Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen took a long time to divert their gaze. As Beishan turned, his hidden cultivation was also released, letting them know that Beishan’s current cultivation had definitely reached above the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

Now, they could be sure that the Emperor Realm wasn’t really out to kill them; otherwise, casually sending a powerful figure like Beishan would have obliterated them long ago.

Early in the morning, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen received consecutive calls from Qu Lingfeng and others, saying that the Emperor Realm had withdrawn their death order and would fully open Jiuling Tower in two days. Anyone who felt capable could enter Jiuling Tower for training.

"Xiao Ning, are you entering Jiuling Tower?" Song Yanli’s voice carried excitement, agitation, and anticipation. She had already decided to enter Jiuling Tower. Ever since Xiao Ning gave her a Peace Pendant to enter the Emperor Realm, she had been entering the Emperor Realm daily to accept various missions to enhance her skills. This was the reason for her rapid improvement.

"Mm," Song Yan Ning answered.

"Let’s team up when the time comes. I’ve already arranged with Ye Qi and the others to go together."

"Okay."

"Then we’ll meet at the entrance of Jiuling Tower the day after tomorrow."

"Okay."

Song Yan Ning arrived at school and noticed that most people were looking at her strangely.

"Song Yan Ning!" Mo Xier saw her and quickly caught up, glanced around, and whispered in Song Yan Ning’s ear, "Have you noticed that everyone’s looking at you strangely today?"

Song Yan Ning nodded. However, she wouldn’t mind these things.

"So, she’s Song Yan Ning? I can’t believe she’s from the Song Family of Beijing."

"How unfair is this world, giving her beauty and such a good family background."

"I heard her academic performance is also top-notch," a few girls discussed enviously and jealously.

Song Yan Ning shook her head and smiled, "I need to stop by the office; you go back to the classroom."

"Okay." Mo Xier nodded and headed towards the classroom.

Song Yan Ning arrived outside the office, knocked lightly on the door, and walked in.

The homeroom teacher was preparing lessons and looked up in surprise, "Song Yan Ning, what brings you here?"

"Teacher Zhao! I’d like to take a month off," Song Yan Ning said, handing the leave request to the homeroom teacher.

"Why do you need such a long leave?" the homeroom teacher asked, astonished.

"I have some matters to attend to, and I might not be able to return in a month," Song Yan Ning replied. For her, cultivation was paramount.

"Can you tell me what it is?" the homeroom teacher looked at Song Yan Ning. The Song Family was a huge family; what couldn’t they handle, requiring Song Yan Ning to deal with it herself?

"I’m sorry! I can’t tell you," Song Yan Ning didn’t want to make up excuses to deceive her or reveal what she was going to do.

"Alright, but the leave you’re requesting is quite long, I’ll need to check with the principal before I can give you an answer," the homeroom teacher said.

"Thank you, teacher!" Song Yan Ning thanked her and left the office.

The homeroom teacher looked at the leave request in her hand, then stood up and headed toward the principal’s office.

Principal Zhang was talking to his grandson on the phone and, hearing the knock, said something before hanging up.

The homeroom teacher entered the principal’s office, "Principal, I just received Song Yan Ning’s leave request. She’s asking for a month’s leave." Normally, this didn’t need to be mentioned to the principal, but given Song Yan Ning’s special status, she felt it better to discuss it.

"One month?" Principal Zhang immediately thought of what his grandson had just told him. Grandpa, I’m going to be in the Emperor Realm for a month, so don’t let anyone disturb me.

He knew his grandson entered the Emperor Realm every night, given that he himself had given his grandson the Peace Pendant, the qualification Jade Token to enter the Emperor Realm. Over a decade ago, a friend had given him the Peace Pendant and explained that it was the Jade Token for entering the Emperor Realm.
