Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 955

Shannon's words might've provoked the system, or perhaps it was the sight of its reflection in the mirror.

But the system who'd been pretending to be dead couldn't hold back any longer and said, "I can answer all your questions, but only if you agree to be my new host."

Shannon didn't bother negotiating. "Stay a tortoise. Tortoise the System suits you perfectly."

The system was utterly speechless. Why would she bring up that nickname?

As Shannon was chatting with the system, a knock came at the door. Lexie peeked in, and her doll-like face was full of charm.

"Shannon, are you talking to your tortoise again? This tortoise doesn't have much spiritual energy, and it might never get enlightened."

The system felt as if it'd been stabbed again. It tried to speak, but Shannon ignored it and turned her attention to Lexie. "What's up?"

"Mr. Darlington's asking for you. He wants you to come over. I bet it's about the college tournament," Lexie uttered in a slightly mysterious tone.

Shannon was slightly surprised. She'd heard about the college tournament. Unlike the official mystical tournament held every three years, the college tournament was a competition among students from various mystic schools.

"That's because you're among this year's newcomers."
