Chapter 282 - 282: Bros Before Ho— (1/2)
Inside Soaring Dragon Academy, students in different colored tunics littered around the hall. The wall was painted red with gold details, beautiful paintings of mountains and calligraphy were hung in silver frames, and porcelain vases sitting on oakwood stands lined up along the corridors.
Today's lessons has ended, thus the students were granted to do whatever recreational activities they wished as soon as they were of no disruption to the academy's tranquility.
”Hey, did Master Yang died?”
”What nonsense are you spewing? Do you want to receive retaliation if Master Yang or one of his disciples heard you?”
”You can't blame me for assuming that. I saw Grandmaster Wei in the hallway just now, he was humming and smiling! You can't blame me for assuming that his greatest rival finally crocked.”
”Are you certain you're not going blind? Grandmaster Wei, smiling? You could've just told me he was about to plot someone's murder.”
”If you don't believe me then don't! And you must be living under a rock if you haven't heard the rumors going around for quite a while.”
”What rumors?”
”Tsk, you just made my point—”
”Hey!”
”—let me enlighten you, my friend. Many weeks ago, some students personally witnessed the Grandmaster smiling while he was talking with someone over the telephone. They mentioned that the person on the other line might be someone very important to the Grandmaster because he was talking so fondly at them.”
”You don't possibly mean...”
”What? You have an idea who?”
”And you tell me that I live under a rock. Of course I do, you fool! Who else would the Grandmaster speak so fondly of if not his second disciple?”
”Second disciple?”
”You must have hit your head pretty hard, it's the Grand Disciple Life he was probably talking to that day.”
”Ahh...so that's why.”
”That's why, what? What happened?”
”Eh, I saw a weird group who probably came back from their missions. They were drenching wet as if they came out of a marathon.”
”Ah, yes. I saw them too. They made quite the scene that the teachers had to chase them and bring them to the disciplinary room.”
”Hey, guys! Have you heard?” Two heads snapped towards the voice.
”What is it now?”
”Those weird group from before, they said that Grand Disciple Life and Death came back together!”
”Now I see the reason why Grandmaster Wei was in cloud nine earlier!”
”Huh, so you weren't being delusional after all—”
”You—!”
”But that's not all, I heard that Grand Disciple Life brought her husband with her!”
Choking sound resounded.

”We're finally here!” Han Taiyi excited said, climbing up on the ship's railings and leaning her upper body forward to look at the approaching island.
Chu Lizheng didn't bother to scold her overly enthusiastic behavior, instead said, ”What's there to be excited about? It's not as if you were gone for many years.”
