Tusu Feng took a glance at them, within the depths of his eyes streaked a trace of light as he palpably smiled gently. âDoes this mean that you guys donât need to adjust the order that youâre going to compete? Iâve seen your name list. Itâs written that if the Inferior Compound makes it into the finals, youâll only send Yuan Ling Xuan alone to compete. The rest of the people all choose to be alternates. Isnât there something wrong with this plan?â
âTo deal with those people from the Inferior Compound, I can take care of it by myself.â Yuan Ling Xuan spoke smilingly. It was difficult to cover up that disdainful haughtiness within his polite language. âMoreover, whether they can make it to the finals to compete with us is yet to be seen.â
Tusu Feng smiled lightly and uttered an âohâ but didnât continue to ask Yuan Ling Xuan anything else. Instead, he turned to say to Little Bald Head. âHow about you? What do you think?â
This nephew of his was also the only one who knew of that youngsterâs identity.
Hehe, he also quite want to see the two brothers fighting each other.
Seventh Prince cutely looked at him and took a bite of meat bun. âAs long as Iâm not asked to fight the Inferior Compound, I can deal with the rest.â In any case, he already decided that he had to avoid fighting with Third Brother!
However, he didnât anticipate that these words heard through Yuan Ling Xuan and the othersâ ears turned into another meaning.
âPrincipal, look, even Seventh Prince knows whoâs worth fighting against and whoâs not worth exerting effort against.â The disdain at the corners of Yuan Ling Xuanâs mouth became even more pronounced.
Helian Jiao Er also laughed from the side. âIndeed, Seventh Princeâs being realistic.â
Hiccup...watching the two people laughing together, Little Bald Head again lowered his head to take a bite out of his meat bun. His cheeks bulged out and his brows knitted slightly. He really didnât know how to tell them that he didnât want to step up not because the opponents were unworthy, but because he really didnât dare. Especially after he knew Third Brother chose martial qi, he didnât dare to venture forth even more!
He really didnât want to offend Third Brother.
When he was disobedient before, Third Brother had him stand outside with his buttocks naked.
Knowing that he liked to eat meat as much as a fire qilin, brother simply withheld the meat.
Brother even said that heâs been seen butt naked by others, so in the future, he wouldnât be able to get married. Moreover, heâd have no meat to eat.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
These things still remained fresh in Little Bald Headâs memory. For the sake of marrying a wife, and also of eating meat, heâs not going to be a repeat offender!
Heâs afraid that Third Brotherâd make him do a bare-butt bunny dance in front of the palace maids again. Heâs already a big man now, and couldnât be so unrestrained! Somebody had yet to fall in love with him!
Little Bald Head very diligently started to count the number of palace maids who blushed when they saw him, ever since Third Brother had him dance the bunny dance.
Thinking about it carefully, thereâs been so many that he didnât have enough fingers to count them.
Tusu Feng deserved to be the person whoâd watched over Seventh Prince the longest. With one look at that adorably silly tigerâs face, he knew that the mind of this disciple of his was wandering again.
However...
âYou guys really feel that those students from the Inferior Compoundâs not worth your trouble?â Tusu Fengâs movements were refined as he placed both hands on the tabletop, his voice deep with meaning.
Murong Chang Feng, who hadnât spoken, smiled lightly as he said. âSo principal wants to say that these new students, since theyâve been chosen by you, we should be more careful?â
Tusu Feng smiled a bit before responding. âCertainly not because I chose them, but because the few of them really deserves your attention.â
âWeâll take the principalâs words to heart.â After all, Murong Chang Feng is the Murong Prince Mansionâs heir. The way he spoke and handled matters was much more mature than Yuan Ling Xuan. âHowever, the lineup was decided by elders from the Superior Compound. Weâre merely following orders. Since the elders feel that having Yuan Ling Xuan himself compete is sufficient, then thereâs no problem. Principal, right now, youâre the person in charge of the Inferior Compound. How about we just let nature take its course. We also need to thank you for your pointers. If weâre really facing the Inferior Compound, Ling Yuan Xuan will also be more careful.â
Having heard that, the smiling expression on Tusu Fengâs mouth became more pronounced. âIf this is what all of you think, then I also wonât say anything else. I wish you guys good luck to win all four rounds.â
âYes.â Three people seemed to be smiling as they left the hall one after another.
When he turned around, Yuan Ling Xuanâs thin lips faintly pursed. âDonât know what ability those trash has that the principal looks so favorably upon them.â
âThe principal is the person in charge of the Inferior Compound. In other words, itâs only natural that he stands on that side.â Murong Chang Fengâs expression was indifferent as he straightened his sleeves. âHowever, in order to guarantee our victory over all four compounds, we really need to change the order weâre to appear. However, itâs not because of the Inferior Compound. Rather, itâs for the sake of facing the Fine Compound. When we confront the Fine Compound, all of us should appear.â
Yuan Ling Xuan thought about it a bit and felt that this proposal was very practical as he followed by nodding his head and turning around to look at Little Bald Head. âItâs no problem for Seventh Prince to face off against the Fine Compound, right?â
âAs long as I donât have to fight against the Inferior Compound, everythingâs fine.â Little Bald Head still repeated the same old words.
Which tickled Yuan Ling Xuan into open laughter. âThen letâs decide on that. No change in anything else. When we face the Fine Compound, weâll all appear.â
âFine.â Helian Jiao Er really didnât care about the lineup. In her estimation, none of the new students in the other courtyards could win over their Superior Compound.
Even though Yuan Ling Xuan and Murong Chang Feng didnât say anything, their expressions were also no different from Helian Jiao Erâs. Based on their deployment strategy, itâs self evident that only the Fine Compoundâs Young Master Hei was worth their notice.
Facing the other people simply was no different than buying soy sauce to them.
However, what they didnât understand was that some people lost, because they underestimated their enemies and were too arrogant...
Just like that, not even a short hour had passed before the news that Battle Spirit Forces had chosen their candidates spread widely throughout the entire academy.
On account of the Battle Spirit Forcesâ requirement that the chosen candidates be kept strictly confidential, everyone didnât know who had been chosen at all.
However, merely by thinking about it, one could figure out that besides those few geniuses at the Superior Compound, no one else was worth consideration.
Thatâs why once this news spread, Helian Jiao Er and company became the topic of conversation within the academy.
Listening to the talk between those students, the old man sweeping the groundsâ pair of eyes narrowed without saying anything. As before, he quietly took the broom and did his work.
After those students all left, he then put away the broom, and circled to the rear court while shaking his head.
The human figure following the old man naturally perceived that heâs thinking about something and said. âAll young people lose their cool. Recalling the time I was chosen, I also wished I could tell everyone.â
âThat girl wonât be like that.â After the old man finished speaking, he also seemed to be angry at himself. âForget it. Let me think about it again, think again...â
That made the human figure smile as he responded. âElder Huan shouldnât think too long on it. Moreover, once the competition within the academy ends this time, the chosen candidates will have been fixed. Even if Elder Huan wants to make a change, itâll no longer be possible. How about Elder Huan think more about how to coach that earth rank martial artist that Miss Helian will be bringing shortly.â
