1471 Are You Qualified to Do So? (1/2)

SWISH!

Everyone looked over toward where they heard the sound coming from. A disciple of the Academy clad in a white long gown hurriedly flew across the sky with a face full of urgency.

Soon, he'd rushed to the front of the crowd and instantly found Dean Li and the others. He shouted, ”Dean, a major event has happened. There were major occurrences in the battle in Tian Sha City. That boy, Xu Que...ah...”

Without finishing talking, the disciple suddenly saw Xu Que standing next to Dean Li and the others and gave a startled little scream on the spot.

BANG!

The next moment, the Academy disciple lost control of himself and ended up on the ground. His face was drained of blood. He scrambled to his knees.

”Faction Leader Xu...Xu Que!” He looked as if he was in pain and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His eyes were full of fear, and he tried desperately to squeeze out a smile to greet Xu Que.

”Faction Leader? Hey, aren't you that kid?” Xu Que looked at him with a smile and asked.

The disciple immediately hit his head on the ground and shouted, ”Faction Leader Xu Que, ah please spare my life. Forgive me for my transgressions for I must be blind, and I've said the wrong things. Please, Faction Leader Xu, you're mighty and magnanimous.”

The crowd watching this display were struck dumb and had stupefied looks on their faces.

”Isn't...isn't that Zhang Zhangshui, the elite disciple of our Academy?”

”What is he doing? He's actually bent his knee to Xu Que?”

”He's gone crazy, hasn't he?”

Many people were baffled and looked at the white-clad disciple in puzzlement.

”Preposterous!” Almost at the same time, Deputy Dean Li started angrily scolding him. ”Zhang Zhangshui, what are you doing? How dare you shame the Heaven Palace Academy!”

”Deputy Dean Li, your disciple...your disciple misspoke just a moment ago. I spoke disrespectfully to Faction Leader Xu Que, so I should be asking him for forgiveness.” The disciple looked agonized and didn't dare stand up.

Everyone present heard his words, and all of a sudden their faces changed color.

”What was going on?”

Zhang Zhangshui was acting extremely daring to have actually disregarded Deputy Dean Li's words.

”What did that mean?”

”Was Xu Que even more terrifying than Deputy Dean Li in Zhang Zhangshui's eyes?”

”You...you've got some nerve. I now want you to stand up. Otherwise...you'll be expelled from the Academy at once.” Deputy Dean Li felt a big loss of face and angrily bellowed because of the humiliation.

He had already been infuriated by Xu Que. And now, he felt his rage rising even more till he was about to explode.

Holy sh*t!

As soon as the people present saw this scene, they couldn't hold themselves back any longer.

”What the h*ll was going on here?”

”Had Zhang Zhangshui gone crazy?”

”This insult to Deputy Dean Li was a little too much wasn't it?”

Many people couldn't help but look at Deputy Dean Li. At this moment, he was so angry that his body was trembling all over. His murderous aura had become boundless, and his whole face looked extremely malevolent.

”Get up? Of course you can!” At this point, Xu Que grinned and responded.

”Many thanks to Faction Leader Xu Que for your kindness!” Zhang Zhangshui instantly looked as if he'd been relieved from a burden. He breathed a sigh of relief and stood up nervously.

Before he'd had time to beg for forgiveness from Deputy Dean Li and the others, Xu Que languidly added another remark, ”But, unfortunately, if you'd continued to kneel, perhaps I could even have let you join the Exploding Heavens Faction.”

BANG!

In an instant, the sound of a thud could be heard.

Zhang Zhangshui had just stood up a moment ago and now his two knees had suddenly hit the ground again. He excitedly shouted with a determined face, ”Faction Leader Xu, I want to join the Exploding Heavens Faction.”

”Unfortunately, you've been rejected.” Xu Que spread his hands and said with a despicable smile.

”.....” Zhang Zhangshui was upset, but he didn't dare to show the slightest anger.

The entire crowd had now fallen into a dead silence. Everyone was stunned.
