Chapter 83 – The Carriage in the Night (1/2)
In the field of intellect, no one claimed victory over Gou Han Shi and there weren’t many people who earned his respect. Tonight, Chen Chang Sheng accomplished both.
He looked at Gou Han Shi and said, “You are overpraising me.”
“You are worthy of my praises.” Gou Han Shi said as he looked at the youngster who he had doubted at first.
He remembered his talented senior and the proposal he made. He realized that somehow, his confidence in his senior was shakened up.
“Previously, the last move of Princess…..” he started to say but stopped mid-way when he became unsure if it was suitable to ask the question.
“What are you asking? Aren’t you going to leave right now so you don’t further embarrass yourself?!”
Elder Xiao Song Gong yelled with a grim face and stared murderously at Jin Yu Lu on the other side. He whipped his long sleeve angrily and left.
Gou Han Shi’s expression was bitter. He bowed to Chen Chang Sheng and said “Good bye.”
Chen Chang Sheng returned the gesture, “See you again.”
“Surely, we will meet again.”
Gou Han Shi calmed himself down, looked at Chen Chang Sheng and said “I will look into your and Tradition Academy’s performance in the Great Trial. I hope you can bring more surprises to us.”
Chen Chang Sheng knew what he was talking about, but he didn’t reply further.
Gou Han Shi turned around and led his underclassmen of Mountain Li’s Sword Sect out. They disappeared into the night of the royal palace.
Nothing but silence filled Wei yang Palace.
So much had happened in tonight’s Ivy Festival. So many surprises had shocked the audience.
While the entire continent expected a success engagement between Qiu Shan Jun and Xu You Rong, a youngster named Chen Chang Sheng stopped the proposal by showing a marriage vow.
He was a student of the Tradition Academy.
Princess Luo Luo revealed her true identity.
She was also a student of Tradition Academy.
The son of Wei Shui’s Family of Tang left the Heavenly Academy.
He became a new student of Tradition Academy.
Everything that happened was related to Tradition Academy.
To get back at the Tradition Academy, the powerful Mountain Li’s Sword Sect used the rules of Ivy Festival to challenge the school that was in ruins for many years.
At last, Tradition Academy won.
It was a dominant victory.
The tide riding process and unexpected ending was unbelievable to many people at first.
People looked at the direction of Tradition Academy and noticed how young the three students were. They couldn’t grasp what had happened tonight.
Most of the eyes were looking at Chen Chang Sheng. Although his status was obviously much lower than that of Luo Luo, as the fiancé of Xu You Rong, teacher of Luo Luo, and representative of the Tradition Academy, he was sufficiently qualified to attract the crowds’ attention.
The crowd realized that after tonight, the once ruined Tradition Academy may regain its past glory. And this new student of Tradition Academy won’t stay an ordinary youngster that no one knew about. No, he will become the center topic of discussion of the entire capital or even the entire continent.
People were looking at Chen Chang Sheng.
Chen Chang Sheng was only looking at Xu Shi Ji.
Xu Shi Ji knew clearly why the youngster was looking at him and his face became pale.
The bishop smiled and said, “Even if this son-in-law isn’t as qualified at Qiu Shan Jun, he’s already not too bad.”
Xu Shi Ji’s face got grimmer.
The bishop laughed, said nothing more and left.
The crowd in front of the palace dispatched slowly.
Principal Mao Qiu Yu stepped down the stone stairs and pulled Tang Thirty Six aside and spoke to him.
Mo Yu walked to Chen Chang Sheng with her eyebrows slightly lifted. She wanted to ask him how did he got out of Tong Palace but she saw Luo Luo staring at her like a hungry tiger and smiled bitterly, “Say, princess. You can’t blame me for what happened tonight. I don’t have any ways of altering the process either.”
Suddenly, the cry of a crane was heard in the night sky.
People lifted their heads and saw the white crane fly away stylishly.
It came to Zhou Royal Palace to deliver a letter and see a person.
Since it accomplished these tasks, it was only natural for it to leave.
As he saw the white crane slowly fade into the distance, Chen Chang Sheng felt that he forgot something.
He glanced at the ruined garden in the depth of the palaces and nodded to show his respect.
A line of carriages was driven to Li Palace.
It belonged to the crew of southern ambassadors.
Compared to their joy and liveliness at their arrival, they were now silent and depressed.
