Chapter 71 – The Fourth Person (1/2)

“Not like my normal self?? What do you mean?” he rolled his eyes and asked.

He saw it was Chen Shang Sheng who said it and suddenly, Tang Thirty Six’s expression came alive.

“Just previously, you cursed out your opposition.”

Chen Chang Sheng thought for a moment and said, “And after you were finished with cursing them out, you would just go back to sleep as if nothing happened.”

Tang Thirty Six looked at the seats of Heavenly Academy and fell silent. He whispered, “After all, some people did treat me nicely.”

During the entrance exam of Heavenly Academy, Chen Chang Sheng saw a few things from afar. He knew that the vice principal cared for Tang Thirty Six and now Tang Thirty Six was looking at the direction of the principal as well. There must be a story behind this, and the vice principal should be the reason that Tang Thirty Six behaved differently than his usual self.

“But, as a person, you should consider yourself before anything.” Tang Thirty Six looked at the seats of Heavenly Academy and thought back to the experiences he endured these recent months in the school. He thought back to the isolation from his schoolmates and what he endured in the first two nights of the Ivy Festival. The corners of his lip raised slightly and a mysterious smile was on his face.

If it was any other time, Chen Chang Sheng wouldn’t have supported Tang Thirty Six’s decision due to his personality — even if he was his only friend. But after encountering so much tonight, a lot has changed. Just like Tang Thirty Six fell into a shameless trap in Heavenly Academy, Chen Chang Sheng also barely escaped a Black Mighty Dragon.

He looked at Tang Thirty Six and said nothing, but his calm yet firm eyes supported his decision.

“You want me to apologize to these southerners?”

Tang Thirty Six looked at Zhuang Huan Yu and said, “This is boring, your actions are boring too.”

Shocking discussions were raised in the palace.

Zhuang Huan Yu was ranked tenth on the Honor Roll of Green Cloud. He was the leading role of the younger generation in the Six Ivies and he was on the same level of the Seven Rules of Heaven who was dominate in the south. Although his previous behavior was off and was both discouraging and shameful, at the end of the day, he was still the face of Heavenly Academy. As a student of Heavenly Academy, it was disrespectful of Tang Thirty Six to point out his fault so directly.

“It’s boring and it’s not fun. If it’s not fun, why should I stay to play around? You guys think you can oppress me through my status as a student of Heavenly Academy, use your status as teachers to control me or use the excuse that you are a senior to shut me up? Because I…. I am going to quit.”

Tang Thirty Six looked at his former classmates and teachers and said calmingly, “I have decided to leave Heavenly Academy.”

Everyone in the palace, after hearing all the news tonight, was shocked with his declaration.

Heavenly Academy was the best school in the entire continent. Countless formidable xiuxingists came from this school and even the current Pope used to be a student there. Many of the winners of Great Trial were also students from this school. Although in the recent years, the young students of Heavenly Academy were in the shadow of the Seven Rules of Heaven in the south, the Heavenly Academy was still the Heavenly Academy. No one dared to doubt the status of this institution. Everyone was proud that they could enter the Heavenly Academy. Many people struggled and endured so much just to enter the gates of Heavenly Academy. But tonight, someone actually requested to leave Heavenly Academy!

While shock filled the palace, the faces of the students and staffs of Heavenly Academy turned gray. The face of vice principal even turned pale.

“I know a lot of people will ask me why.”

Tang Thirty Six looked at everyone and said expressionlessly, “Heavenly Academy has the best teachers, best students, and I must admit that I learned a lot from my time here. Even if I endured some hardship, it wouldn’t be enough for me to decide to leave. But just like what I said earlier, the current Heavenly Academy is boring.”

“It’s boring and it’s not fun. If it’s not fun, then why should I stay to play around?”

It was a sentence that he said earlier and everyone thought back to it.

“Just because I said I’ll handicap Tian Hai Ya Er, the teachers and seniors of the academy banned me from participating in the Ivy Festival! Just because I want to challenge Zhuang Huan Yu, someone sealed me in the library for one night! Don’t tell me I have to think about the big picture. When did the old Heavenly Academy ever need to worry about other people’s big picture? What about the current Heavenly Academy? It’s even afraid of the Family of Tian Hai! What is this? This is not the Heavenly Academy I read about in books. This Heavenly Academy is boring and not fun!”

Tang Thirty Six looked at the students and teachers of Heavenly Academy. His words were informal but his expression was serious because they were words he spoke from his heart before his departure.

After hearing his speech, the noises in the palace got louder because this youngster from Wen Shui mentioned the Family of Tian Hai.

This sentence was filled with context, but people only heard Family of Tian Hai.

It’s even afraid of Family of Tian Hai!

He even used “even” in his sentence.

He even thought he shouldn’t be afraid of the Family of Tian Hai!

Prince Chen Liu lowered his head, two liquor cups were on the table in front of him. The liquor inside reflected the light from the Nightly Pearls and was beautiful. He seemed to be attracted by this sight and forgot about the things happening around him.

Mo Yu looked at Tang Thirty Six indifferently with a teacup in her right hand. The cup was steady.
