The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574: Chapter 574: What kind of talents are these Wolong and Fengchu?

Capital Metropolitan Teaching Building.

Scarlett Jennings and her companions entered the building and slowly walked forward.

They entered through the side entrance, which led to a relatively dark corridor.

But knowing there was an array inside the building, the six of them dared not be careless.

Just two meters forward, Scarlett Jennings suddenly signaled,

"Ashton Todd, guide the way."

When the academy initially selected students to participate in the competition, they did so after comprehensive consideration, covering each person’s specialty in the Five Techniques of the Mystical Sect.

For example, Ashton Todd was responsible for the geomancy and divination part.

Scarlett Jennings calling him to guide the way was certainly reasonable.

However, the Taoism Academy students watching the live broadcast outside were full of confusion,

"Isn’t this Scarlett Jennings a freshman? Why is she leading the first round? Shouldn’t Gregory Xander be leading based on experience and capability?"

"Who leads must have been decided beforehand. What makes me want to laugh is that there’s clearly only one path ahead of them, and they start ’guiding’ when it’s unnecessary."

"I watched Scarlett Jennings’ live broadcasts before, she was quite bold and direct. Why does she seem so hesitant during this competition?"

"Considering that it’s a chance to perform in front of teachers and Mystical Sect big shots, being cautious isn’t wrong."

Inside the building, Evan Anson, a senior sister on Scarlett’s team, also felt Scarlett’s sudden suggestion was a bit redundant,

"Scarlett, we just got in. Let’s cross the corridor and get to the main hall before guiding."

This guidance was, of course, not merely about pointing the way but divining the team’s route based on the environment and hexagrams to ensure they could locate the target bottle.

Among everyone, Evan Anson was the only one who had not interacted with Scarlett Jennings before, although she had always heard of this freshman’s outstanding talent in Talismanic arts, but wasn’t that just Talismanic arts?

While Gregory Xander also thought Scarlett Jennings might have been overly cautious, he didn’t follow by questioning her.

Since it had been decided that Scarlett would lead the first round, Gregory Xander wouldn’t question her decision.

Unlike the two’s hesitation, Ashton Todd, upon hearing Scarlett Jennings speak, immediately squatted down without a word, found a spot, and began his divination using a few stones.

Before long, he puzzledly stood up and looked at the group, then pointed toward the direction they had just entered.

"The path of life I divined is there."

Upon hearing this, the Capital Metropolitan students watching the live broadcast couldn’t help but chuckle.

Can these freshmen from Sea City really do it?

They can’t even figure out the way?

"Haha, actually considering the path of life lies behind isn’t problematic either. A group of amateurs going in would lose anyway; retreating could at least save some face."

"No wonder Sea City’s teachers might be infuriated witnessing this."

What kind of mediocre talents were selected?

The students whispered among themselves in the back, but the academy representative teachers upfront remained calm, not showing an ounce of mockery for Ashton Todd pointing back.

In the scene, Scarlett Jennings didn’t reveal much emotion due to Ashton Todd’s guide.

She just looked in the direction of the entrance, pondered briefly, and then signaled for the group to continue moving inward.

The group reached the middle of the corridor, stopped again, and Scarlett asked Ashton Todd to divine once more.

Ashton Todd complied without a word.

And this time, the divined path of life was the same as before.

Still the direction of the entrance.

Scarlett Jennings stared at the entrance upon hearing this and then directly instructed the group,

"We’ll follow Ashton Todd’s guidance and head back."

Upon hearing this, both Evan’s group and the audience outside the live stream were a bit stunned.
