Tu Lao smiled and didn't respond to this subject at all, only saying. "We were young then. Forget about it. Let's look at these children now. Who knows, maybe we'll come across a good successor."
"We have several at the Superior Compound." Master Bai laughed faintly. "Their strength are not bad. Tu Lao, why don't you consider it."
Tu Lao responded again. "Oh. I actually hope that I can see the other compound's strength. It's best when an unexpected talent appears." In this way, the competition at the school would be even more interesting.
"The other compounds?" Master Bai looked up, couldn't care less as he took a sip, his appearance expressing that characteristic haughtiness. "Besides that young master from the Hei family, what other talent can there be? Students from the Good and Fine Compounds have all been investigated by me. As for the Inferior Compound, my goodness, even if I don't say it, Tu Lao, you also should've known what's going on there. Coming up with a talent there is more difficult than ascending to heaven."
Tu Lao put down the teacup in his hand as he smiled. "After hearing Master Bai saying that, Principal don't want to say something on behalf of the students from your own compound?"
"Huh?" Tusu Feng was in the middle of watching those few people yawning again, feeling somewhat helpless about their 'don't give a damn' attitudes. Now that he heard these two people's conversation pulling him in, he gently curved his lips. "It's not necessary to say anything. Let's look at the results when the moment comes."
"Sounds like the principal feels that those people from your compound are very promising." Master Bai burst into loud laughter, his mockery was self-evident. "Principal, I know that you treat all of the students equally favorably, and this is also the first time you personally act as the head of a compound, so you want to achieve some accomplishments. However, no matter how you carve rotten wood, it still won't be as exquisite as green jade."
Tusu Feng retracted his gaze from Helian Wei Wei and company and smiled, can't help but comment. "That may not necessarily be true. The competition hasn't started. Everything is uncounted. The outcome maybe something Master Bai doesn't expect. Therefore, let's properly watch the competition."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head back around without caring about Bai Jing Wen's expression.
Bai Jing Wen fiercely humphed once, his lips didn't speak, but his heart disdainfully thought. [What unexpected outcome can come from those useless trash from the Inferior Compound. They've merely come to fill the place with people. Probably can't even beat that Guan Du from the Good Compound before the game's over. ]
If he had any say, they should get rid of the Inferior Compound altogether.
White Academy history spanned several centuries. Not to mention Dragon War Empire, White Academy has a place even within the Divine Continent.
It's all because this place possessed all of Dragon War Empire's aspiring geniuses.
Yet those commoners from the Inferior Compound didn't have any aptitude, and were basically here to drag down the academy's quality.
Bai Jing Wen again lowered his head to drink a mouthful of tea. This time, if the Inferior Compound couldn't achieve anything again, those elders from the family clans would have an excuse to propose to the emperor to get rid of this compound.
Thinking of this, he again felt extremely comfortable. His body leaned back, two hands placed in front, that posture seemed as if he's waiting to see how the Inferior Compound will lose.
The students weren't aware what the teachers were thinking. The students from each compound were standing in the same lines as they heard the teachers announcing the competition's rules.
The competition was according to the lowest to the highest level. The matches today were between the Inferior Compound facing the Good Compound and the Fine Compound facing the Superior Compound.
The competition was divided into two rounds. Whoever wanted to watch a certain match could go to watch that match based on the sequence.
The contents of each competition would be drawn up by the teacher in charge of that specialty.
The first two matches would be judged by the teachers. The finals would be up to the masters and grandmasters to judge.
The most well-received was Master Tu Lao. All of the students wanted to use this opportunity to speak with Master Tu Lao, to ask for an armament of their own.
Too bad, Master Tu Lao sat too far away. Besides entering the finals to see him, all of the other students could only look at the judges' platform from a distance.
The competition's system was really good. The students rapidly shifted their attention to the two big stadiums.
Their interest were on the matches between the Fine and Superior Compounds.
The stage where the Inferior Compound competed with the Good Compound wasn't very lively at all.
However, there were still twenty to thirty people who came to watch. Most were from the Inferior Compound, not many were from the Good Compound, because they simply didn't attach any importance to this round of competition against the Inferior Compound. They might as well first go to the other stage and observe the Fine Compound's strength, so that when the time came, they could offer the competitors representing their own compound a bit of useful information!
"Stage number one, divination competition. The time allotted is thirty minutes!" The elderly teacher's deep and low voice transmitted.
As the captain, Wei Wei just bent over the tabletop to take an afternoon nap, a strand of her maroon, long curly hair stuck out unruly. She appeared indolent and somewhat laid-back.
Nangong Lie curved his lips to smile demonically, his pair of beautiful romantic eyes looked at those young ladies watching the competition and bent towards them, occasionally winking at them with his left eye, drawing countless girls' blushing faces.
Compared to these two people, Baili Jia Jue could be considered normal!
It's just that...
Could he not look at the chair as if it wasn't soft, wasn't clean, wasn't luxurious, or exquisite enough!
Watching these expressions, the teacher was very angry!
He rigidly clenched the name list in his hand and yelled again. "Stage number one, divination competition! The students who hasn't gone on stage are asked to do so as quickly as possible!"
"Your eyes are very beautiful, maybe after I finish this competition, we can go to the Commerce Plaza and take a stroll together? Hm?" Nangong Lie endlessly gave out flirtatious sparks, maybe he simply hadn't had enough fun, or maybe it's because he no longer had the status of genius priest that he's absolutely unrestrained like this.
This made the young girl in the audience nearest to him bashfully look down, her eyes didn't dare to look up, as she softly answered. "OK."
Tear away!
The list of names in the teacher's hand was thoroughly shredded!
Chapter 156 - The Inferior Compound’s Really Inferior?
"The student competing in divination!" The teacher pointed at Nangong Lie. "That's right, it's you! Are you still competing or not. Not competing then pull the handle to throw the match!"
Nangong Lie very innocently returned his gaze, that handsome face expressed the wish to make peace. "Teacher, life is so beautiful, yet you're so touchy, that's not good."
"You!" The teacher was so angry that his liver hurt and was about to disqualify him!
Nangong Lie then strolled over. Once his expression changed, a murderous aura burst forth. "I'm ready. We can start."
The teacher was stunned, then s.u.c.k.e.d in his breath. "The Inferior Compound against the Good Compound. The first match starts now!"
Once he spoke, the Good Compound's competitor immediately picked up his divination tool, while Nangong Lie was hesitating, because he couldn't decide if he should give his opponent some face. After all, how could a renowned clan of priests like his bully a helpless new student, that's not too good. Right when he planned to go easy.
That student from the Good Compound disdainfully glanced at h
im. "A trash is a trash, taking so long just to choose a tool."
The result...throw 'go easy' to the winds!
Within one minute, Nangong Lie had already finished. The students from the Inferior Compound were flabbergasted. As they watched him, he smiled wickedly and returned to his seat and leaned back, slowly and without a care.
He even poked at Wei Wei, the next one to come onstage, when he passed her.
The teacher was stunned for awhile, in disbelief as he declared. "This round, Inferior Compound wins."
Bang!
He...he hadn't even started ah, argh, ahh!
"The second round, armaments competition!" The teacher promptly came to his senses and declared loudly.
The judge's seat hadn't even warmed up, yet he already had to switch out. He originally prepared a whole pile of explanations, but surprisingly, not even one word was used! ! !
Crushed!
A complete crush! ! !
Wei Wei yawned before she went onstage, then cupped her hands in salute. She smiled and was serious and courteous in all respects.
However, what's messed up was that her opponent didn't appreciate her manners and was utterly haughty, only responding with a cold 'humph', not intending to speak to her at all.
After that...the opponent was thoroughly squashed and cried!
Under the bright sun, this opponent could only stand there and watch Wei Wei's slender, beautiful fingers' dazzling movements until the referee declared the conclusion of the competition.
Not many people actually came to watch the competition, however, each and every one of them were dumbstruck. In their eyes, besides disbelief, there was only shock.
Those students originally felt that there's no hope of victory for the Inferior Compound and even made a request to the friends sitting by their side. "Pinch my face."
"Do what now?" Their friend's face was also lifeless.
The student replied. "I want to see if this is actually real." That's right, everyone wondered whether they were dreaming, absentmindedly shaking their heads.
During this time, Wei Wei and the other two were already standing up, preparing to leave.
Winning two out of three matches, in other words, the Inferior Compound won the competition between the Inferior and Good Compound!
Baili Jia Jue didn't even have to appear. The white robe dr.a.p.ed on his body didn't even touch a speck of dust. As before, the image of his back was reserved and restrained, placing himself above the common populace. Merely a slight movement of looking up already shot through the hearts of countless young ladies."
"Truly too handsome!"
"God, my heart's about to jump out!"
"Wonder what kind of wife he's going to marry..."
Nangong Lie's foot slipped, extremely angry. "I was clearly the one who appeared onstage. Why'd Ah Jue end up being the most popular, so unfair!"
Wei Wei comforted him Unsympathetically. "Young man, don't be stupid, this is a world where beauty rules, talent is only second fiddle to beauty."
"But besides finding fault with the seat and table, he didn't do anything at all!" Nangong Lie was still unreconciled!
Wei Wei glanced at him. "He only needs to take care of his flower-like beauty and don't need to do anything else, thank you very much." In any case, she already profited. Having an out-of-this-world handsome deskmate meant having lots of snacks. For example, that bashful servant girl just sent some rose cakes which quite suited her appetite. Let's be clear, she's not stealing food, it's her deskmate who's throwing them away at her.
Actually, Wei Wei wanted to tell those girls from influential families as well as those pretty girls from humble families. Don't think about using food to win over a certain someone's heart, he looked at everything las if looking at c.o.c.kroaches.
At first, Wei Wei thought that he liked food, because when she first gave it to him, his lips moved, as if he's pondering something.
But at the same time she told him the rose cakes weren't from her, but were someone else's gift, the guy's pair of beautiful phoenix eyes instantly chilled to become a block of cold jade. Finally, he immediately threw that small box of rose cakes on the table and became more detached than ever.
Wei Wei thought that he must hate the smell of rose cakes very much, however, it doesn't matter, she likes eating them...
"Let's go take a look at the other matches." Nangong Le laughed wickedly. "I just heard the girl who adored me say that the competition's still going on over there."
Wei Wei agreed, then smiled as she poked fun at him. "Are you sure that girl adores you and isn't using you to get to know a certain someone?"
Nangong Lie's face froze slightly as he glanced at a certain someone Wei Wei mentioned and felt that the mask wearing Ah Jue was easier to take along!
Seeing this, the smile deeped on Wei Wei's mouth. "Let's go, we really should take a look over there. After all, Hei Ze's competing."
The light in Baili Jia Jue's eyes emotionlessly paused, as he slowly turned towards her direction and looked over. A bewitching cold smiling expression completely washed over that extremely handsome face. "It seems that you really care about him."
"His strength is worth people's notice." Wei Wei smiled, the sunlight spilled into her eyes.
Baili Jia Jue strangely felt that the smile was somewhat dazzling. His mouth curving into an arc also became effortful, required a lot of effort to maintain...
On the other side, the Superior Compound competed against the Inferior Compound. The first match in divination was only half way through. The competition was very intense. The two could be considered evenly matched.
When the audience saw Wei Wei and company coming, they were a little bit astonished. "Aren't they competing? How're they here?"
"They should be done and came to watch the match."
"Can't be. How much time has passed, yet they're already done?"
"How much time is needed to deal with the Inferior Compound? We don't need to think to know that the Good Compound won."
"You must be right..."
The comments also attracted the attention of the surrounding onlookers. Helian Jiao Er sitting at the competitor's section also thought it's laughable as she glanced at them. What did she say, these trash from the Inferior Compound wouldn't amount to anything no matter what they try, didn't even pass the first round yet wished to fight their Superior Compound, simply were daydreaming!
Chapter 157 - His Highness Not in a Good Mood
At this time, the divination competition could be considered to have concluded, the Superior Compound barely victorious.
Seventh Prince's b.a.r.e head also turned towards Wei Wei and company and looked over. Compared with other people rejoicing in misfortune. That little face's expression was a bit difficult to describe. He took a bite of the meat bun and chewed, as if he thought of something, after which he got up, and used one hand to lift the wood chair that's even bigger than he was. His relaxed appearance was exactly the same as if he's eating a meat bun, no difference at all. His strength was truly scary!
The surrounding people watching this scene f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y s.u.c.k.e.d in a breath, especially those students from the Fine Compound. One after another, they produced cold sweat on behalf of the martial qi competitor coming up in the third match, Hei Ze.
Wasn't this Seventh Prince a bit too frightening!
He's only five years old!
Was it good to be so domineering!
The little Seventh Prince also didn't care about the surrounding gazes, as he used an incredible strength to place the chair by Wei Wei and company's side. After that, he planned to climb up using his little short legs.
Nangong Lie's handsome eyebrows rose as he watched the little guy and did his best to keep a smile from appearing on his lips. No matter how impressive this little demon was, he still couldn't change the fact that his legs were short and stocky!
However, it's a pity that since this girl from the Helian family's here, he couldn't
hug the little demon and properly pinch him.
Sigh...for the sake of being able to freely read poetry and discussing philosophy with all of the girls, he'd better restrain himself. After all, if his identity was exposed, it wouldn't be as fun as it is now.
Little bald head climbed for awhile, but didn't succeed. That pair of thick brows knitted tightly together. After that, he threw a warning glance at Nangong Lie, before his gaze fell on Baili Jia Jue again.
The side of Third Brother's face appeared especially cold!
Why?
Little Bald Head pondered for a moment, silently turned the chair around a little...regardless why, still shouldn't be provoked!
Little Seventh Prince blanked out, felt that soft long hair brush past his cheek, and subconsciously glanced at Baili Jia Jue.
Baili Jia Jue also took a look at him, those thin lips seemed to move, noiselessly added some indistinct motions, yet didn't attract anyone else's attention.
Only little Seventh Prince knew what he was saying and moved his little short legs,then awkwardly turned towards Wei Wei to say. "Thank you."
Wei Wei simply couldn't resist totally adoring that cute little tiger's face. Such a spunky little guy was truly a rare find in ancient times!
Cool and uniquely arrogant, really was a meat bun inseparable from the hand!
Wei Wei smiled and seemed as if she'd thought of something as she took out the beef jerky she'd prepared beforehand and passed it to him.
Little Seventh Prince's eyes shined, then silently raised his head to look, and after seeing that a certain person didn't express objection, he quickly took that beef jerky.
"Good boy." Wei Wei rubbed his head, filled with an impulse to carry him home and raise him.
Good boy? Nangong Lie really questioned Wei Wei's taste. This woman hadn't seen the way the little demon beat up people, using a rod to ruthlessly strike, his attitude was even more aggressive than his brother's!
*Snicker* "Is someone opening up a new path again to curry favor?" A student from the Superior Compound in the audience sneered and laughed.
