1525 Cloudy Brook Academy 2 (1/2)
Enlightened by the little old man, it immediately dawned upon the man the subtlety involved. ”But based on what you have said….. The kid had chosen the Spirit Jade Palace because he wanted to avoid the Twelve Palaces? But if that's the case, why had he even come to take part in the Battle of Deities Grand Meet?”
The man understood some of it, but he was still feeling rather confused in some parts of it.
Jun Wu Xie's choice, based on the little old man's analysis, showed that Jun Wu Xie did not want to have anything to do with the Twelve Palaces at all. But she had still gone ahead to the part in the Battle of Deities Grand Meet organized by the Twelve Palaces, wasn't that a contradiction in itself?
The little old man then harrumphed indignantly. ”How am I supposed to know that? Who knows what is really going through that little brat's mind? He might very well be eyeing the tranquil mountain air and calm water we have here at the Cloudy Brook Academy and just wants to enjoy some days of peace here. You'll never know.”
The little old man's voice suddenly filled up with strong pride.
The man stared at the little old man who was shamelessly heaping self praise upon himself and he froze in his spot with his mouth open, unable to say a word.
”That's right. After so long, I still don't know that kid's name. What's he called?” The little old man asked.
”Jun Wu.”
”Jun Wu?” The little old man repeated as his eyebrow arched and he stroked at his white streaked beard.
”Anyway, when Jun Wu is admitted into the Cloudy Brook Academy, he would be a member of our Cloudy Brook Academy. Have someone look out for him a little in the future.”
The man nodded without a word, but he could not help grumbling in his heart.
[The Lord has always said he didn't want to interfere with the affairs of the Twelve Palaces and could not be bothered about the running of the academy. But this person had not even been admitted into the Cloudy Brook Academy and you're already making arrangements to start building a little stove. Is this still being impartial?]
