Chapter 279: Chapter 279: The Beginning of Attraction: Always Unconsciously Thinking of Bai Ye
Inside the testing cabin, Yun Sheng’s spiritual power slowly lingered around the equipment. The data on the screen pulsed steadily without the slightest abnormality.
In just three short minutes, the BUZZ of the testing equipment began to fade. Soon, a line of text popped up on the screen: *Test completed. Data saved.*
The corners of Yun Sheng’s mouth unconsciously curved up. She slowly retracted her spiritual power and reached out to press the button to open the cabin door. The door slid open bit by bit, and she stepped out.
Seeing her come out, Cheng Nian and Li Wen instantly let out sighs of relief and hurried forward to surround her.
"Yun Sheng!" Cheng Nian grabbed Yun Sheng’s hand. "You were way too fast this time! It was over in just three minutes!"
Li Wen also carefully observed Yun Sheng’s complexion. Seeing that her expression was calm and her breathing steady, she completely relaxed and said with a smile, "Looks like there’s no problem this time."
Yun Sheng looked at them, the smile on her lips deepening. "Yeah, it went very smoothly this time."
As she spoke, her gaze quietly swept over the spot where Bai Ye had been standing earlier. It was empty; that tall, straight figure was long gone. She figured that Bai Ye must have seen the test was going smoothly and left before she came out.
At that moment, Shen Tang walked over.
"Yun Sheng, it seems you’ve recovered very well. The test went smoothly. All the trainees have finished their tests now, and the data is being compiled. Please wait a moment. The results will be announced together in fifteen minutes."
"Okay, thank you, Instructor Shen." The three of them replied in unison, their tones carrying a mix of anticipation and anxiety.
The other trainees were currently waiting for their results in the lounge next to the testing room, so the three girls headed over as well. They found a corner by the window and sat down. Cheng Nian still couldn’t suppress the anxiety in her heart, rubbing her hands together restlessly.
"What do I do, what do I do? I’m still so nervous. What if I don’t pass? I’ve been training for so long, and I really don’t want to do it all over again."
Li Wen gently patted her shoulder and comforted her with a smile. "Don’t overthink it. You were in such a good state during your test, you’ll definitely pass. Besides, even if you don’t pass, with your strength, you won’t be lower than a D-level. At worst, you’ll just have to train for another month."
Listening to their conversation, Yun Sheng’s gaze unconsciously fell outside the window, and Bai Ye’s figure involuntarily surfaced in her mind. She wondered where he was right then, and if he was still secretly keeping an eye on her. Thinking of Bai Ye, a hint of longing that even she was unwilling to admit quickly welled up in her heart.
"Yun Sheng, what are you thinking about?" Cheng Nian noticed she was a little distracted and gently tugged on her arm. "Are you also worried about the test results? Don’t worry, your strength is much greater than mine, so you’ll definitely be fine."
Yun Sheng snapped back to reality and gave a masking smile. "No, I’m not worried. I was just thinking about something else."
Fifteen minutes quickly passed. The door to the lounge was pushed open, and a person wearing a Tower staff uniform walked in.
"Trainees, the results of your spiritual power tests are out. Please gather in the testing hall. Instructor Shen will announce the results together."
As soon as the words fell, the trainees in the lounge instantly boiled over. Some were excited, some were nervous. They stood up one after another and headed out the door.
Cheng Nian also stood up, grabbing Yun Sheng and Li Wen’s hands. Her tone was urgent. "Here we go, here we go! The results are finally coming out, let’s hurry over!"
Walking into the testing hall, all the trainees who needed retesting had already lined up in the designated area. Shen Tang stood at the very front, holding a stack of test reports in her hands, her expression serious and solemn.
"Quiet down, everyone," she said, her voice clear and powerful, carrying through the air to every corner of the hall. "The test results have been compiled. Now, I will distribute the reports to everyone in order. After receiving your report, first carefully verify your information and test Level. If you have any questions, you can come to me individually for consultation later."
After saying that, she signaled the staff members beside her to distribute the test reports in their hands one by one.
Yun Sheng, Cheng Nian, and Li Wen stood together, and they soon received their respective reports. Li Wen was the first to open hers. Her fingertips gently unfolded the paper, and her eyes quickly scanned the test Level column. Her originally slightly nervous face instantly blossomed into a brilliant smile, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, "B-level! I really reached B-level!"
She had originally only been a D-level guide. Thanks to this field training, where they continuously fought against pollutants and improved their strength, she was able to jump two Levels at once.
Beside her, Cheng Nian also couldn’t wait to open her own report. But when she clearly saw the word "C-level" in the test Level column, the anticipation on her face instantly faded, and her small face crumpled. C-level. It didn’t meet the standard for direct promotion to an official guide, which meant she had to retrain for another month.
At this time, Yun Sheng also slowly unfolded her report. With a light sweep of her gaze, she saw the clear words "B-level." But before she could react, Cheng Nian pitifully leaned over, resting her head on Yun Sheng’s arm.
"Why am I so unlucky... WAAH... Yun Sheng, what’s your result? Are you a B-level? Am I the only unlucky one who has to go back and retrain for a month?"
As she spoke, she looked down at the report in Yun Sheng’s hand. When she clearly saw the words "B-level," her frustration instantly broke loose.
"Ah... Yun Sheng, you really are a B-level... WAAH... I’m the only one who has to start all over again! I don’t want to!"
Looking at Cheng Nian’s pitiful appearance, Yun Sheng’s heart softened, and she quickly comforted her. "Nian Nian, you were just a little bit short this time. With another month of retraining, you’ll definitely be able to securely reach a B-level."
"That’s right, Nian Nian. Don’t lose heart. A month will pass by very quickly, and we’ll accompany you through it," Li Wen also chimed in to comfort her.
Cheng Nian sniffled and sobbed, "I’ll work hard. You guys... you guys have to wait for me. You can’t leave me behind."
"Absolutely not!" Li Wen and Yun Sheng promised in unison.
At this moment, Shen Tang’s voice rang out again.
"Everyone has seen their test results. Now, I will announce the subsequent arrangements. As stated before, trainees whose test Level reaches B-level or above will be directly promoted to official guides for the Tower. The Tower will subsequently issue employment contracts and notify you to complete the onboarding procedures. Trainees whose test Level is below D-level will be directly eliminated and will no longer possess the qualifications for Preparatory Guide training.
"The rest of the trainees, go back and get a good rest. Start preparing on Monday for the next month of retraining. After the training ends, there will be one final test. Those who fail will also be eliminated. Alright, all matters have been explained. Dismissed."
After she finished speaking, the trainees got up one after another and walked out. Once Cheng Nian walked out of the hall, her mood was no longer so depressed.
She grabbed Yun Sheng and Li Wen’s arms on her left and right. "Let’s go, let’s go! Let’s get lunch together! I know a super delicious nutrition restaurant nearby. Consider it a celebration for you guys!"
Li Wen smiled and nodded in agreement, but Yun Sheng hesitated. She thought of Bai Ye, remembering that he said he would come pick her up after the retest ended, and her gaze unconsciously swept toward the entrance of the hall.
A familiar, tall, and straight back instantly caught her eye. Bai Ye was already waiting for her!
