Chapter 97 (1/2)
Mu Wansu obviously had noticed there were inappropriate places in the name list. Hesitating for an instant, she pointed it out, “President Yu, it seems that Lin Xun is also eligible.”
These words were polite enough, so she was sure that Yu Canglin knew what she really meant.
However, Yu Canglin looked strange somehow after hearing Mu’s words. Casting a glance at Mu Wansu, he spoke in a low voice, “I know it.”
Mu Wansu was in a trance. Looking at the expression of Yu, she had an inexplicable bad feeling.
Running down the surroundings with her clear eyes, she realized immediately that at the moment both Wu Chaoqun and some other big shots of Donglin Town seemed to look strange somehow, as if they were gratified or had been waiting for the moment for a long time.
Feeling heavy at heart, Mu realized that she had been probably not helpful to Lin Xun, but caused some trouble for him.
As expected, Yu Canglin looked serious the next moment. Looking upright and awe-inspiring, he said in a solemn voice, “You must be wondering why Lin Xun is not in the list of people who have passed the County Test since he also performed well.”
The big shots on the high platform all nodded tacitly.
Even Yao Tuohai, sitting in the middle, showed the expression of listening attentively, while on the square, crowds of youngsters who had originally been waiting for the additional test couldn’t help feeling confused and wondering what was wrong with the guy named Lin Xun.
They didn’t know why.
But Lian Fei, Yao Susu, Yang Qun and a few others understood why. They looked excited at once, casting a glance at Lin Xun who was standing in the crowd, and assuming the posture of waiting to see a drama.
Lin Xun sighed stealthily. As he expected, his opponents began to take revenge on him.
Lin didn’t intend to blame Mu Wansu, instead he felt quite good when Mu defended him against the injustice. He knew Mu detested him; however, concerning the major issues of principle, it was kind of her to behave like this.
At this point, Yu Canglin who stood on the platform said in a righteous manner, “To be honest, this boy is notorious for his misdeeds, not only graceless but also sinister and lacking in sincerity. In spite of excellent naturals, Lin Xun is such a despicable boy! He is not qualified to take part in the test at all!”
Blunt and straight-forward, in spite of no dirty word, the statement sounded even sharper when spoken out by the president of Donglin School.
The crowd burst into an uproar.
People present were not only those big shots of Donglin Town who came to attend the ceremony, but also many teachers of the school, as well as over 2,000 practitioners who came here for the test.
Therefore, you could imagine how astonished they were when they heard Yu Canglin made such an awful comment on a young boy.
It must be true! Yu Canglin didn’t need to slander a boy by his eminent identity and position.
What an insidious comment! Being sinister and lacking in sincerity! That was great!
Were it not for the occasion, Lian Fei really desired to utter sighs of admiration unceasingly. Yu’s words made him excited all over, and he couldn’t agree more.
Yao Susu was also very delightful. She said in a low voice, “I had told Lin Xun something bad might happen to him today with his ophryon blackening and a hint of bad luck between his eyebrows!”
Lian Fei couldn’t help laughing, feeling complacent. The comment was made by the president of Donglin School in person, which meant that Lin Xun, a small potato in the Civilian Area, was already sentenced to death on the path of County Test.
Lin Xun didn’t say anything, and didn’t pay attention to the uproar, either. With his eyes fixing on the platform, he looked at Yu Canglin who wore an expression of abhorrence of evil, and those big shots of Donglin Town with different looks on their faces. Lin Xun couldn’t help feeling resentful. Taking these unreal excuses to slander him, those old bastards were just so malicious!
Once the comment spread, Lin Xun would definitely be influenced, even if he could have a chance to take part in the State Test. In other words, if Lin Xun couldn’t quash the comment, he would be ridiculed and satirized, and bore the unwarranted charge, even if he could make his way in the future.
“President Yu, what do you mean? It’s indecent of you to severely criticize a practitioner coming here for the test.”
Mu Wansu couldn’t help hurling a question at Yu before Lin Xun could even react. Having made a blunder, she wouldn’t make the second one.
But Yu Canglin waved his hand and said,” Miss Wansu, please take it easy.”
While speaking, he ran down the whole crowd with his sharp eyes, and finally focused on Lin Xun. “Now that I said so, I must have enough evidence to prove it. I don’t need to frame up a teenager with my identity.”
The uproar disappeared. Judging from their expressions, they already believed the most part, even before Yu showed the evidence.
That was his influence! Compared with Lin Xun who was unfamiliar to most people, Yu Canglin was such a big shot in Donglin Town. Yu was not only the president of Donglin School, but also an overmatch in Sea Spirit Realm.
Who dared question the comment made by such a person.
“Lin Xun, let me ask you if you are the leader of the Shuangmu Gang in Civilian Area?”
Suddenly, Yu Canglin spoke in a loud voice, just like an explosive bomb.
Shuangmu Gang?
