6 Old pervert 1 (1/2)

Ed looked at the person who spoke and frowned.

”Why? Why can't brother Ed go with us?” Lady Jian fumed. She did not like the look on that boy's face.

”You are too old to be entering the academy. No matter how powerful you may be, you are still not in our generation and you will never meet up no matter how you try.” Jia Lin said coldly.

”Fine.” Ed said stepping off the platform. Even though he could not leave the valley now, he did not believe he would not leave one day. He just had to be strong enough. He could feel the smirk of those who hated him. He knew he had a lot of enemies, so this was expected. Lady Jian harrumphed and stepped off the stage too, not forgetting to send Jia Lin a glare.

”Lady Jian, I presume. You need not follow him. You are admitted.” Jia Lin had not intention of letting such a beauty out of his sight. As far as he was concerned, no matter her identity, she grew up not seeing the word. As long as she joins the academy, she would be able to see how powerful he is, how any girls wished to walk beside him.

”That small thing you call an academy? Is that place worthy? I only joined the admissions because I wanted to go with brother Ed.” she snorted and continued after Ed.

Her words caused those from the emperor sage academy to frown. They held their heads high were ever they went, knowing well that they were from the emperor sage academy. Yet this girl looked down on it?

Ed did not bother to answer them nor Lady Jian, as he continued walking away. The tension in the air was indescribable. The disciples from the academy wanted nothing but to teach Ed a lesson. But, they had a righteous reputation to uphold so they could only clench their teeth and watch as he walked away.

Jia Lin saw the most beautiful woman he had ever seen walking away from his sight. It did not help that she looked at him as though he was the smallest thing she had ever seen. Anger engulfed him as he stared at Ed's leaving back.

”I know you think you are great, but don't hold someone back with your selfishness. I can see that Lady Jian is a rare talent. Walking with you will only hold her back and derail her improvement. Don't be without shame.” Jia Lin scolded Ed righteously, but the person in question did not look back. Lady Jain threw him a dirty look but did not waste her breath.

Jia Lin could feel people give him complicated looks and frowned in confusion. He looked to the new recruits for an explanation. One of them coughed and hesitated.

”Say it. Do you think I am wrong?” he asked. The boy did not know what to say.

”Lady Jian... She follows Valley Master Ed around, but... She does not leave his side no matter what he says.” the boy said. Jia Lin frowned and looked around at those watching. They all thought he was making a fool of him self. It was clear, this Ed did not even care for her attention. It was her that insists to stay beside him. If the tension was not bad enough, silence could be heard vibrating through the arena, except Ed's steps slowly walking away. The sound of his feet as he moved slowly out of the arena was like a slp to his face. Suddenly all the emperor sage academy disciples stared glaring at Ed's feet. Couldn't he walk away faster? Did he have to move so slowly as though rubbing their embarrassment on their face?

Why were they the once embarrassed? He was clearly the one that got rejected by the academy.

The silence was broken by someone clearing his throat.

”Well, this was uneventful. Hey, boy! How about you come with me?” the old man from before said. His words caused Ed to pause. This man looked like a beggar yet he had the mind to speak at such a time? Everyone looked completely amused. As if the Valley master was not embarrassed enough, an old beggar wants to take him in as a disciple? They were all clearly holding back their laughter.

”Ya! Old pervert. What makes you think you can talk to my brother Ed like that?” Lady Jian said and the man gave her a wronged look.

”How did I become a pervert?” the man asked.

”Speak fast, why are you sprouting rubbish?” Lady Jian asked impatiently. In a blink he was standing before her. Everyone was startled. Blink! That was surely the blink technique! Those well taught inner disciples saw through this. No one under the soul awakening stage could do this. Who was this man?

Lady Jian did not seem to care about this though, nor did the man care about her unsurprised nature.

”Little girl, I am a respectable man. What about me looks like a pervert?” he smile widely make her frown more.
