Reborn as the daughter of Qian Daoliu

Chapter 6 : Journey to the Academy

Early in the morning, Qian Ruoxi prepared to leave for the academy. She meticulously checked her luggage once again to ensure she hadn't left anything behind. Satisfied that she was well-prepared, Qian Ruoxi made her way to the dining hall where her father, Qian Daoliu, and younger brother, Qian Xunji, were already seated, eagerly awaiting her arrival. When she entered the room, a warm smile lit up Qian Daoliu's face.

"Xi'er, come and have a seat. I've asked the chefs to prepare all your favorites."

Qian Ruoxi couldn't help but return the smile as she saw a table brimming with her preferred dishes. She quickly sat down and attacked her breakfast like a hungry lioness, savoring each bite.

"Take it easy, sweety! The food isn't going anywhere," Qian Daoliu chuckled.

After she finished her meal, Qian Ruoxi looked up at her father, her expression filled with earnestness.

"Dad, while I'm away at the academy, please take good care of yourself. I promise to write you frequently once I've settled in."

Qian Daoliu's face softened, and a tinge of sadness crept into his eyes. He didn't want his daughter to leave for the academy, but he understood that he had to let her pursue her dreams. When he heard from Lawrence that she had requested a dormitory, he knew he couldn't be selfish. He decided to support her decision, understanding the importance of making friends and learning alongside her peers.

Tenderly, he ruffled her hair and spoke with affection, "Xi'er, be a diligent student at the academy. You may be exceptionally talented, but never let it inflate your ego. Strive to make friends and work hard in your studies, alright?"

Qian Ruoxi nodded earnestly, her eyes reflecting her determination. "I understand, Dad."

Impressed by her seriousness, Qian Daoliu reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver pendant with a flower-shaped blue jade stone that sparkled like a sapphire. He handed it to Qian Ruoxi, explaining its purpose.

"Take this. It's a spirit tool that allows you to store and retrieve various items, both living and non-living. It's incredibly convenient for traveling and has a storage capacity of 50 cubic meters. In other words, you can store a vast number of objects, regardless of their size or weight, as long as it doesn't exceed 50 cubic meters. You only need to infuse a bit of your spirit power to use it." Demonstrating, he stored her luggage within the pendant.

Qian Ruoxi held the pendant excitedly, appreciating the thoughtful gift. She decided to name it "Eternal Blue Spring."

She hugged her father gratefully, saying, "Thank you, Daddy."

"You're welcome, Xi'er. Have a safe journey and remember to write to me whenever you have the time," Qian Daoliu replied, returning the hug.

Qian Xunji, the youngest of the family, chimed in with a serious but endearing tone, "Ah Jie, don't forget our promise."

Qian Ruoxi playfully ruffled his hair and assured him, "Of course not, my little munchkin."

With their goodbyes said, she exited the palace, ready to embark on her new chapter at the academy.

The morning light bathed the little girl in its brilliant glow. Her golden hair shimmered under the sun's rays, and her sapphire eyes reflected the sunlight's beams. Anyone passing by couldn't help but pause for a moment to appreciate the beauty of the young girl.

With a leisurely stride, the girl made her way down the path leading to the academy. She wore a white full-sleeved blouse paired with a blue knee-length skirt, creating an elegant, cute look. As she reached the front desk, she joined the queue. When her turn arrived, she presented the recommendation letter to the young man at the counter. He quickly examined it before handing her a form to fill out the necessary details. Qian Ruoxi completed the form and returned it to the young man, who in turn gave her a slip and a set of dark blue uniform.
