However, Grandmaster was mistaken about one thing.
And that was that a certain Highness, who came and went like a shadow, simply didnât test at the Superior Compound at all. Instead, he was at the âInferior Compoundâ and âFine Compoundâ testing arena where nobody came to watch.
The academy had decided to separate the males and females during the exam in order to make the competition more fair, which virtually gave a certain Highness a very convenient way of concealing his identity.
Also, everybodyâs attention was on Wei Wei, wishing to see how shameful she was going to be.
Therefore, very few people knew that there was another test going on at an arena to the side.....
âHow, how could it be you?â Zhang Shi Jie, who originally wanted to exhibit his skill at the martial qi competition looked at the man standing there facing him. He couldnât control himself and retreated a step back.
Baili Jia Jue coldly looked down on him and still didnât speak while slowly moving his own wrist, as handsome as a deity whoâd descended, unable to conceal the killing intent that appeared.
âWait!â Zhang Shi Jie couldnât control himself and shrilly cried out. He wouldnât forget how terrifying his opponent was. This guy was like an extremely poisonous snake. It seemed like he only needed to barely move and immediately his opponent would be swallowed into his belly.
The wound on his leg still hadnât recovered. The severe fracture was entirely bestowed upon him by this guy in front of his eyes.
Actually, he didnât dare to say anything.
Because his opponentâs strong oppression unexpectedly made him feel as if he couldnât breathe.
Not merely this.
Up until now, he still hadnât been able to uncover what the real identity of the guy in front of him was.
Originally, he thought he could be an expert concealed within the Superior Compound.
However, he didnât expect that the guy would surprisingly appear here! Could it be that this person was also an agent snuck in by one of the four clans?
No!
It couldnât be!
Heâd met all of the people from the four clans before, yet heâd never even seen the person in front of him before!
Zhang Shi Jie distractedly turned towards the handsome man and increasingly approached closer. The disdainful look in his eyes had already been replaced by shock long ago.
âWho are you actually!?â As if wanting to regurgitate the shock within his heart, he howled insanely. It was difficult to conceal the quivering in that last howl.......
Yet, Baili Jia Jue only curved his thin lips into an ice cold arc. His disciplined, wildly arrogant bearing seemingly said again that the other party was still unworthy of knowing his identity.
Zhang Shi Jie felt that within the otherâs entire body, waves of murderous intent were surging up violently, causing his own pair of legs to uncontrollably tremble. After that, the sword in his hand was tossed away. He ran off from the top of the stage virtually pissing in his own pants, while his mouth still shouted out, âIâm not competing, I want to forfeit. Did you guys hear that, I want to forfeit!â
Baili Jia Jue didnât pursue him and only stood at the same place, while he raised his hand to flick at the front of his jacket which originally didnât have any speck of dust to begin with. He had on an indifferent expression, as if the one running away was only a little white mouse.
The two teachers looked at each other, a bit unsatisfied. Ever since theyâd started to hold the position of White Academyâs teacher, they had never encountered this kind of situation.
A fire attribute student from the Good Compound who will break through soon unexpectedly fled in defeat in front a student from the Inferior Compound, who up until now still hadnât even taken any kind of qi exams at all? ! !
If news of this kind of situation spread, those who were teachers, like them, would also be humiliated!
Because this had never happened before, if other people found out, they wouldnât know how to face them. They then simply directly and immediately announced that Baili Jia Jue won and didnât even bother to test his qi level.
In any case, in a monthâs time, there will naturally be someone else to test him.
Consequently, this matter, when passed on to another personâs ear, became, âthat new student from Inferior Compound was lucky and met an opponent who forfeited.â
As far as what the truth was, only Tusu Feng who received the news knew.
After hearing the report from the messenger, the corners of his mouth curved upwards, his voice level, âDidnât battle yet already subdued the soldier, can be considered a man born to command.â
âWho is the Principal referring to?â Su Jia Cheng hadnât left yet. He was standing by Tusu Fengâs side, trying hard to gather and warm up the surrounding atmosphere, âA talent to command like that, maybe I could introduce him to Lord Murong and have him take care of him a bit more.â
Tusu Feng glanced at him.
Su Jia Cheng was baffled by what he saw within that look. He didnât know if he was overthinking it. Why did he unexpectedly see a hint of mockery within Tusu Fengâs eyes?
It shouldnât be very possible, Tusu Fengâs character had always been gentle.....
âWe shouldnât trouble Prime Minister Su with this. Itâs but a youngster behaving a bit arrogantly. They generally wouldnât want anyone to look after them.â After Tusu Feng finished talking, he also laughed to himself. If he didnât remember incorrectly, once, before that little stinker even turned ten, heâd already laid waste to all the sons of distinguished families within the entire capital. Now, in front of him, Prime Minister Su suddenly said he wanted to protect him? Hehe, if Su Jia Cheng knew the one he wanted to protect was that Highness, wonder what kind of expression he would have?
Su Jia Cheng couldnât see through what the other party was thinking, but seeing that he spoke politely, didnât think more about it, âSince itâs like that, Principal should continue your work. I will take a walk around.â
âPrime Minister Su,â Tusu Feng spoke and stopped Su Jia Fengâs steps as he gently said, âGrandmaster wasnât wrong in saying that at White Academy, itâs forbidden for any minister to stroll around. Retired Emperor had already established the guidelines. The studentâs state of mind will be affected, so if Prime Minister Su doesnât have any other important matter then please return. I have things to do following this, so Iâm no longer able to entertain Prime Minister Su.â
Snagging on two nails at once (meeting two obstacles at once), Su Jia Cheng ground his teeth until sounds came out. He stood under the tree with a darkened face while looking at the shadow of Tusu Fengâs back moving further away. Within his eyes, anger could not be concealed!
âEveryone single one of them, what characters!â
Now that only his own people remained here, Su Jia Cheng no longer restrained himself.
The teachers tried hard to fawn on him, âMinister Su, please calm down, the principal is still young. We also canât do anything about it. Nobody can to tell what Retired Emperor was thinking, having such a young person be principal, and even be principal for so many years, sigh.â
âRight. Right.â Some of the older teachers also chimed in from the side, appearing grudgingly helpless.
Su Jia Cheng feigned an open-minded appearance, âForget it, theyâre all only juniors, I also wonât bicker with them. However, are there any leads to the news that Iâve asked you to look into?â
âMinister should rest assured. Iâm stationed at the Superior Compound.â Among them, a rather smug teacher replied, âAs long as Third Prince entered, the first one to receive any news will be me.â
Su Jia Cheng contentedly nodded his head, âGood, very good. Besides that, I also would like to trouble teacher again to watch out for my granddaughter a bit.â
Having said so, he raised his hand and patted Helian Jiao Erâs shoulder. His heart was hating, yet also filled with deep love.
That teacher immediately accepted, âMiss Jiao Er is exceptionally gifted. Even within the Superior Compound, she is a giant among dwarfs. Minister Su donât have to continue to be bothered about what happened just now. That was merely a little exam. That good-for-nothing is an expert at groveling. Itâs difficult for Grandmaster to avoid being muddleheaded for once. He doesnât know her character well. Wait until the time when Grandmaster finds out, he will be disgusted with her soon enough. After all, that Helian Wei Wei actually doesnât even have the slightest bit of qi and certainly wonât be able to study armaments. She was merely lucky during this test, thatâs all. The good scenes have yet to follow. I will help Miss Helian avenge this insult sooner or later!â
