Tusu Feng took a glance at them, within the depths of his eyes streaked a trace of light as he palpably smiled gently. “Does this mean that you guys don’t need to adjust the order that you’re going to compete? I’ve seen your name list. It’s written that if the Inferior Compound makes it into the finals, you’ll only send Yuan Ling Xuan alone to compete. The rest of the people all choose to be alternates. Isn’t there something wrong with this plan?”
“To deal with those people from the Inferior Compound, I can take care of it by myself.” Yuan Ling Xuan spoke smilingly. It was difficult to cover up that disdainful haughtiness within his polite language. “Moreover, whether they can make it to the finals to compete with us is yet to be seen.”
Tusu Feng smiled lightly and uttered an ‘oh’ but didn’t continue to ask Yuan Ling Xuan anything else. Instead, he turned to say to Little Bald Head. “How about you? What do you think?”
This nephew of his was also the only one who knew of that youngster’s 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. “As long as I’m not asked to fight the Inferior Compound, I can deal with the rest.” In any case, he already decided that he had to avoid fighting with Third Brother!
However, he didn’t anticipate that these words heard through Yuan Ling Xuan and the others’ ears turned into another meaning.
“Principal, look, even Seventh Prince knows who’s worth fighting against and who’s not worth exerting effort against.” The disdain at the corners of Yuan Ling Xuan’s mouth became even more pronounced.
Helian Jiao Er also laughed from the side. “Indeed, Seventh Prince’s being realistic.”
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 didn’t know how to tell them that he didn’t want to step up not because the opponents were unworthy, but because he really didn’t dare. Especially after he knew Third Brother chose martial qi, he didn’t dare to venture forth even more!
He really didn’t 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 he’s been seen butt naked by others, so in the future, he wouldn’t be able to get married. Moreover, he’d have no meat to eat.
These things still remained fresh in Little Bald Head’s memory. For the sake of marrying a wife, and also of eating meat, he’s not going to be a repeat offender!
He’s afraid that Third Brother’d make him do a bare-butt bunny dance in front of the palace maids again. He’s already a big man now, and couldn’t 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, there’s been so many that he didn’t have enough fingers to count them.
Tusu Feng deserved to be the person who’d watched over Seventh Prince the longest. With one look at that adorably silly tiger’s face, he knew that the mind of this disciple of his was wandering again.
However…
“You guys really feel that those students from the Inferior Compound’s not worth your trouble?” Tusu Feng’s movements were refined as he placed both hands on the tabletop, his voice deep with meaning.
Murong Chang Feng, who hadn’t spoken, smiled lightly as he said. “So principal wants to say that these new students, since they’ve been chosen by you, we should be more careful?”
Tusu Feng smiled a bit before responding. “Certainly not because I chose them, but because the few of them really deserves your attention.”
“We’ll take the principal’s words to heart.” After all, Murong Chang Feng is the Murong Prince Mansion’s heir. The way he spoke and handled matters was much more mature than Yuan Ling Xuan. “However, the lineup was decided by elders from the Superior Compound. We’re merely following orders. Since the elders feel that having Yuan Ling Xuan himself compete is sufficient, then there’s no problem. Principal, right now, you’re 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 we’re really facing the Inferior Compound, Ling Yuan Xuan will also be more careful.”
Having heard that, the smiling expression on Tusu Feng’s mouth became more pronounced. “If this is what all of you think, then I also won’t say anything else. I wish you guys good luck to win all four rounds.”
“Yes.” Three people seemed to be smiling as they left the hall one after another.
When he turned around, Yuan Ling Xuan’s thin lips faintly pursed. “Don’t know what ability those trash has that the principal looks so favorably upon them.”
“The principal is the person in charge of the Inferior Compound. In other words, it’s only natural that he stands on that side.” Murong Chang Feng’s expression was indifferent as he straightened his sleeves. “However, in order to guarantee our victory over all four compounds, we really need to change the order we’re to appear. However, it’s not because of the Inferior Compound. Rather, it’s for the sake of facing the Fine Compound. When we confront the Fine Compound, all of us should appear.”
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. “It’s no problem for Seventh Prince to face off against the Fine Compound, right?”
“As long as I don’t have to fight against the Inferior Compound, everything’s fine.” Little Bald Head still repeated the same old words.
Which tickled Yuan Ling Xuan into open laughter. “Then let’s decide on that. No change in anything else. When we face the Fine Compound, we’ll all appear.”
“Fine.” Helian Jiao Er really didn’t 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 didn’t say anything, their expressions were also no different from Helian Jiao Er’s. Based on their deployment strategy, it’s self evident that only the Fine Compound’s Young Master Hei was worth their notice.
Facing the other people simply was no different than buying soy sauce to them.
However, what they didn’t 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 Forces’ requirement that the chosen candidates be kept strictly confidential, everyone didn’t 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.
That’s 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 grounds’ 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 he’s thinking about something and said. “All young people lose their cool. Recalling the time I was chosen, I also wished I could tell everyone.”
“That girl won’t be like that.” After the old man finished speaking, he also seemed to be angry at himself. “Forget it. Let me think about it again, think again…”
That made the human figure smile as he responded. “Elder Huan shouldn’t 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, it’ll 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.”
