Chapter 473 – The Storm of Enrolling Students (II) (2/2)

”Speaking of the Azure Sky, when I began talking about it, I realized that I wasn't done. Right now in the Orthodox Academy there lies one more future classmate of you ladies and gentlemen.”

Tang Thirty-Six loudly proclaimed, ”He's called Wofu Zhexiu.”

With these words, the crowd burst once more into an uproar.

Chen Changsheng's fame was a matter of this year, but the legendary story of the wolf youth resisting the demons alone in the snowy plains was a story that had been circulating in the human world for quite a few years.

Back when Xu Yourong was on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, Zhexiu had always been right below her. But every single young man and woman that had resolved themselves to a life study, that had devoted themselves to the Dao, knew of the reason behind his name.

Tang Thirty-Six continued, ”Speaking still of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, the only one back then that could defeat Lord Zhexiu was Xu Yourong, but all of you should also know that Xu Yourong is our Little Principal Chen's…”

Chen Changsheng could no longer bear it and glared at him.

Tang Thirty-Six realized that he had gotten a little carried away and hurriedly made to skip this part. ”Today's sun is a bit much, I forgot where I had spoken up to. Wasn't I speaking about myself?”

This evoked a wave of boos from the crowd, as well as the angry complaints of one young maiden to the crowd.

Tang Thirty-Six gathered his thoughts, then calmly and seriously explained, ”The reason, ladies and gentlemen, that I said that if you were to enter the Orthodox Academy, I would be your most important schoolmate, or to put it another way, why does the Orthodox Academy have me? It's not because of how strong I am. If we're talking about strength or cultivation, I'm definitely not up to par with freaks like Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu, but…I come from the Wenshui Tang clan. Ladies and gentlemen, on your path to knowledge, I can be your strongest supporter.”

He pointed at the enrollment announcement by the gate. ”For instance, we're not taking tuition and even giving an allowance. Of course, that's only for this year. That won't be the case later on.”

A young student creased his brow and asked, ”Not taking money and even giving it away, aren't you guys just buying students?”

”I'm not buying, I'm bribing.” Tang Thirty-Six's expression was still calm, smiling as he said, ”If you've succeeded with ordinary Purification, your room and board will be covered and you'll get a monthly allowance of five silver taels. If you're at the initial level of Meditation, you'll get fifty silver taels a month. For each successive breakthrough, the monthly allowance will double. If you successfully break into Ethereal Opening, then besides the monthly silver, you'll also get ten crystals to help you cultivate.”

The enrollment announcement had only stated that there would be an allowance and that tuition was free, but it had not given specific numbers. Upon hearing Tang Thirty-Six describe the details, the crowd instantly became silent as a grave. Even those Tianhai clan experts in the distance were rather shocked. As for the stewards of the other three markets, they turned to the steward of the Heavenly Fragrance Market with an indescribable amazement on their faces. Your clan's young master is such a spendthrift—does anybody back at Wenshui know of this?

Tang Thirty-Six was very satisfied with the crowd's response. ”As for the question of food, none of you need be concerned. Clear Lake Restaurant…is now the Orthodox Academy's cafeteria.”

Those young students who had come from the counties were okay upon hearing this, but the common folk of the capital, especially the gluttons amongst them, almost fell unconscious.

Clear Lake Restaurant was the capital's most renowned and most expensive restaurant. Was it…was it really going to close down? Was it really going to become the Orthodox Academy's cafeteria?

Xuanyuan Po was abundantly satisfied and decided to pardon Tang Thirty-Six for his actions today.

But the gazes that many people shot at Tang Thirty-Six made it seem like they had just laid eyes on their nemesis who had killed their father.

Tang Thirty-Six looked at them in confusion. ”What's wrong?”

One person couldn't help but say, ”Sir, this is a bit too much of an exaggeration. Is there anyone that runs a school in this way?”

Tang Thirty-Six seriously replied, ”I'm richer than most, could it be that all of you still haven't realized this fact?”
