Chapter 145 (1/2)

Li Changlu could be considered to be the best person for him to acknowledge his enemy as his master.

While An Zeng and w.a.n.g Kai-tai chit-chat for information, w.a.n.g Kai-tai drinks some wine and says more.

He looked down on Li Changlu's character and scolded him as he spoke.

They drank and ate until late into the night. w.a.n.g KaiTai didn't go back. He stayed in the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect and only rushed to the Military Department early the next morning.

Not long after w.a.n.g KaiTai left, the Martial Arts Academy sent someone to deliver the news, telling An Zeng and the others to rush to the Martial Arts Academy as soon as possible to partic.i.p.ate in the selection.

An Zhe asked the messenger, ””Why did you only send the news today during the selection?””

That person said, ””It was Dean Yan who suddenly decided this early in the morning. There hasn't been any news from last night.””

An Zhe frowned slightly. He didn't understand what he was trying to do with his words.

He gave the silver taels to the messenger, so it wasn't easy for him to report to her at such an early hour.

That person thanked him and left. After a few steps, he turned back and said, ””Young Master An, I am just a servant of the Martial Arts Academy. There are some things that I shouldn't have said.””

However, I have always admired your character, so I said a few more words … I'm afraid that Dean Yan's sudden decision to choose you for today is most likely related to you.

Firstly, your injuries are not completely healed, so it's best if you don't step forward.

””Secondly, there are people who can't wait to embarra.s.s you.””

He did not say anything else and turned around to leave quickly.

An Zhe knew who he was talking about. Recently, Ding Shengxia had been living in the Martial Arts Academy. It was said that she had been friendly with him.

Vice Minister Ding had almost been fired from his position for speaking ill of the King of Yan. If the empress dowager hadn't spoken up to protect him, he might have been implicated in the case of Ethereal Opening.

The peaceful dispute could be said to be the Ding family's sufferer. Ding Shengxia had been holding her breath for so long in order to take revenge.

Presumably, he had been waiting for An Zaiyue. If he were to open the selection for the Autumn Festival right after An Zaiyue was injured, the King of Yan would not be able to explain himself.

Now that he had rested for more than ten days, if the Yan Emperor asked, it could be said that he was doing it for the sake of the Ascension Ceremony, so he had no choice but to do so.

The four of them tidied up a bit before taking the car back to the Martial Arts Academy.

On the way, he ran into a few disciples who were rus.h.i.+ng to the Martial Arts Academy.

When they arrived at the Martial Arts Academy, the yard was already bustling with noise and excitement.

This was a selection within the academy, so there was no need to alert the military. As the dean of the academy, he naturally had the right to do so.

Even though An Xuan and the others had entered the academy, they still didn't know who their instructors were, nor did they know who their instructors were.

A large list was pasted at the door, with the distribution of all the new students in the academy written on it.

An Zeng found his name, but wasn't separated from Du Liuyun and Gu Qianye. Because they were also outstanding grades, they were split up.

And the teacher of this cla.s.s was precisely the reserved disciple, the current Vice Dean of the Martial Arts Academy, Chang Huan.

Dean laughed: ””We are at the wrong end of the road. Now we are in other people's hands.””

An Zhan shrugged his shoulders and followed the crowd into the Martial Arts Academy.

After circling around the lotus pond, An Zhe saw Chang Huan standing there with a serious expression. Some of the students who had been a.s.signed to him were already gathered behind him.

Seeing An Zaihai and the others, Chang Huan's expression also changed, but she didn't say anything.

Coincidentally, An Zhe found Ding Ning Dong and Sang Rou in this cla.s.s.

””Come with me.””

When Chang Huan saw that everyone had arrived, he turned to leave.

The group of people following behind Chang Huan all felt that their luck wasn't good.

Chang Huan was one of the famous cold-faced Yama Kings in the Martial Arts Academy. She always kept a straight face.

It was said that this man was extremely strict. No matter who it was, as long as they didn't satisfy him, he would severely punish them.

It was said that a disciple of the Martial Arts Academy had challenged him because he couldn't bear his harshness.

In the end, Chang Huan ignored the relations.h.i.+p between master and disciple and accepted the challenge, beating that disciple into lying on the bed for a full three months before she could move around.

Some people said that Chang Huan's cultivation base wasn't that high, and her luck wasn't that good either. Thus, her character became even more perverted.

Thus, the more talented a disciple was, the more he would look down on them, and the more he would find trouble with them.

The group followed Chang Huan to a courtyard. The environment here was not bad.

There was a small bamboo forest and a small stream. Not far away, there were fake mountains and gardens.

This was the difference between the excellent disciples and the ordinary disciples. The excellent disciples were divided into the excellent cla.s.ses and the excellent environments.

””Over the next few years, most of your time will be spent here.””

Chang Huan looked at the young men. ””I know the names of each and every one of you. I know their past as well.””

In fact, as the Vice-Princ.i.p.al of the Martial Arts Academy, you are all selected by me from this year's freshmen. That is to say, more than seventy percent of the best students are all under my command.

Do you think it would be unfair to the other teachers if I did that?

””Yes, it is unfair. I am the vice princ.i.p.al, and I have the right to do such unfair things.””

He said in a cold tone, ””The so-called outstanding students are like a good blade.””

I chose you all to be my subordinates, not because I needed you all to help me improve my reputation.

It's because you need a gentleman like me.

Now you may not understand the meaning of my words. You will understand them in the future. ””

””Speaking of which, there is a question that must be asked.

””Seventy percent of the rookies are here. If you can't all enter the third round during the selection later, then scram.””

Someone asked, ””Sir, what is the first round of the exam?””

Chang Huan replied, ””The first round will be for the teachers of each cla.s.s to choose their own students and send them to the compet.i.tion.””

He pointed to himself. ””I choose, so you all go.””

Someone cheered as they thought to themselves that Vice Princ.i.p.al Chang was not as despicable as the rumors had described him to be.

””Don't think that you will win without a doubt, because this time's selection is not only for the freshmen to partic.i.p.ate.
