Chapter 148: The Legendary Making Things Difficult for Someone” (1/2)

After dealing with all the bosses, Bai Xiaofei’s busy life of profiteering finally came to a hiatus. Since the number of Blossom Tickets they had released wasn’t enough to bring trouble to their doorstep, Bai Xiaofei could afford to rest for a while.

Bai Xiaofei left Yun Jingshuang and Lu Linyun the responsibility to transform the Thousand Aroma Restaurant. His excuse for not helping out was that he was busy preparing for the New Student Tournament. Although they knew that this was only an excuse, they did not say anything.If they were to disregard everything else about Bai Xiaofei, he was still just a sixteen-year-old kid. He hadn’t even gone through his coming of age ceremony yet and was different from old foxes like them.

What they didn't know was that Bai Xiaofei was not like other teenagers his age. After a break of several days, the completion of the elimination rounds was announced. Sadly though, nobody was paying attention to it anymore. One hundred classes had been qualified from the elimination rounds. According to the academy’s announcement, the principal was going to give a speech, making it compulsory for everyone to attend. After being roused repeatedly from bed by his three roommates, Bai Xiaofei was pulled to the place where the speech was to be held while still half-asleep.

Land was expensive in the Starnet Academy. Only academy infrastructure such as the conference hall would occupy a wide space. The conference hall could easily accommodate more than ten thousand people. Moreover any facilities one could wish for could be found here, making this an incomparably luxurious conference hall.

Currently, the total number of people present was less than two thousand even after including the teachers. Therefore, everyone had a good seat.

“Why are you guys this late? Are you tired of living?”

Xue Ying had never dressed this formally before. Beneath her teacher’s overcoat, she was wearing a cultivation shirt and trousers. Of course, even clothes this formal would emanate a seductive charm when worn by Xue Ying…

“I had a meeting with Yun Jingshuang and the others last night so I overslept a little. Anyhow, we still made it in time, right?”

Bai Xiaofei explained himself with a pitiful look on his face. His three roommates next to him did not even dare to lift their heads. They had obviously been talking nonsense until late last night. They had no doubts about Bai Xiaofei's lying abilities now.

“Go sit down now. Even the gods won't be able to save you if you're any later than this.”

The four promptly slipped into their respective seats as Xue Ying admonished them. Right after they sat down, Lei Shan walked up the stage. He appeared to be in good spirits today.

“Big Brother Fei, you have my heartfelt respect for daring to oversleep even on a day like this.”

Xing Nan turned around and expressed his admiration before promptly turning to face the front again. He sat obediently like a child on his best behavior.

“Firstly, my congratulations to everyone present. The fact that you have been able to distinguish yourself from eight thousand others proved that all of you are outstanding students. Therefore, on behalf of all the teachers, I welcome all of you.”

The moment Lei Shan spoke, a thunderous applause sounded in the hall. Unlike Bai Xiaofei, the majority of the people in the room were seeing Lei Shan for the first time.

“At the same time, I would like to congratulate the head teachers of the one hundred selected classes. The academy is aware of all your hard work. Therefore, all of you will be officially hired as teachers of the academy after the New Student Tournament is over.”

The moment Lei Shan stepped onto the stage, he made two explosive announcements. One could say that this was a successful opening speech on Lei Shan’s part. Yet, despite this sensational speech, Bai Xiaofei still fell asleep. There was no helping it, he was too tired! When Mo Ka and Shu Kui noticed Bai Xiaofei was no longer awake, they broke out in cold sweat as they continued listening to the principal's speech.

Should we wake him up? If we don’t, we would be held as accomplices if caught. But even if we do, based on Bai Xiaofei's personality, he'd just go right back to sleep. Besides, he would even seek revenge on us later…

The two of them finished listening to Lei Shan’s speech while suffering from this dilemma. Of course, none of them had any idea of what Lei Shan’s speech had been about. The only thing occupying their minds was whether Bai Xiaofei would be caught dozing off.

Fortunately, Heaven was fair. Even though old man Lei Shan was in a good mood today, someone else wasn’t! After Lei Shan’s speech, Vice Principal Luo Xi took the stage. She was supposed to be making a speech on behalf of all the teachers, yet the first thing she saw when she arrived on stage was the one student who behaved differently amid the crowd of students – Bai Xiaofei.
