Chapter 285 - 285: Final Exam (Part 3) (1/2)

”Master, if you don't mind me asking, why are there enrollees lining up for the gondola?” One of the enrollees that were about to set their journey towards the thick forest, asked in pure curiosity. Her eyes landed on Lillie's group.

She wasn't being a busybody, she was simply curious because they don't look like students with their casual clothes.

The other assumption that they might be special visitors didn't occurred to her for reasons that she wasn't aware that the Academy let in outsiders as such.

And it seems she wasn't the only one. But, the difference is that the others weren't as polite with their remarks.

”Now that she mentions it, I'm wondering about it too.”

”Is it because they made friends with those students in yellow uniform?”

”I thought the Academy doesn't allow us using personal relationsh.i.p.s to have an advantage?”

”Maybe it doesn't count it they were students?”

”But that guy from before had his points rejected for buying them from students.”

”And I thought the Academy was all about fairness. I guess it's just a trumped-up story to attract more people to enroll.”

These naive ones were far behind the line when Lillie and Death was talking with Master Qi. Their ears weren't sharpened yet so they aren't apprised of their identities.

Few of them were aware of the crucial fact. Some choose to warn those they befriended, while some stay quiet to let the Master in charge handle it.

”Silence!” Like a loud thunder striking the heavens, the Master's voice boomed in the clearing and successfully made everyone shut up in fright.

Hearing the unpleasant comments, the Master in charge was appalled. How could an innocent question bred such odious remarks?

This ignorance might as well be their downfall if ever the subjects of their poisonous tongue retaliates.

”To answer this young lady's question, and correct those of you who cannot keep their brash disparages to themselves,” His piercing eyes scanned the crowd and glared at the insolent enrollees.

”Those three are, most certainly, not enrollees. Two of them are Grand Disciples, while the other is a special visitor that was granted permission to enter by a Grandmaster.” He assumed that Ethan was allowed to enter due to his connection with Grandmaster Wei's second direct disciple, Shengming.

He has yet to find out that he's actually her husband. Eventually, because gossips spread like wild fire, it will not take long before everyone in the Academy knows Grand Disciple Life had a husband.

And that said husband was brought along with her to meet Grandmaster Wei; who dotes on his second direct disciple as if she was his own granddaughter.

The Master prayed in his might that Lillie and Death didn't heard any of the offensive rattles.
