Reported martial arts

The lively girls who had been engrossed in gossip suddenly blushed, their gaze shyly fixed on Nangong Lie's handsome face, and they whispered, "Does Gongzi know? That woman is extremely clingy to Murong Shizi. She hovers around him every day, despite him breaking off the marriage contract due to her annoying behavior. But shamelessly, she still follows him to Taibai Academy. Now she must have heard that Murong Shizi intends to pursue martial arts, so she fearlessly signs up for it."

"Is that so?" Nangong Lie's thin lips curled into a smug smile as he glanced at the man beside him. There was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone as he remarked, "It seems their affection is genuine." Baili Jiajia's hand trembled slightly as she held the cup, causing ripples to form on the water's surface.

In the distance, Murong Changfeng, the subject of their discussion, was introducing Helian Jiao'er to several masters. Observing their thoughtful gazes, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Witnessing this, Helian Jiao'er rolled her eyes, her beautiful eyes shimmering. She said, "Shizi, don't blame my sister. She lacks martial skills and is anxious in her heart. She thought of this countermeasure. I'm afraid she wishes to bask in your glory."

"Waste is waste, after all," Murong Changfeng commented casually, as if stating a fact. Unbeknownst to him, the Supreme Master sitting at the top frowned deeply, attempting to suppress his anger.

Rubbish? These clueless, insignificant fools dared to call his esteemed disciples waste! If she is waste, then they are nothing more than dirt and don't even deserve to be acknowledged.

"Supreme, this is the junior disciple I mentioned to you earlier. Come, Shaofeng, quickly greet the master," Murong Shaofeng exclaimed joyfully, preparing to step forward for a bow.

However, the Supreme Master coldly interrupted him, saying, "The old man can't handle the flattery of the son of the world. Wasn't the Helian family so subservient in the past? The old man will let it slide this time."

Everyone was taken aback, unable to understand how the Supreme Master had suddenly become so irritable. Moreover, the mention of the Helian family puzzled them. Murong Shaofeng's smile froze on his face, realizing that despite being the son of the royal mansion, he was not receiving the expected treatment. The person in front of him was none other than the renowned Supreme Master of the nation, whose temperament was even more unpredictable than his own master's and difficult to please.

Helian Jiao'er was determined to ease the tension for Murong Shaofeng. Speaking in a crisp voice, she said, "Master, you mentioned the Helian family. Have you met my father?"

"Naturally, the old man is aware," the Supreme Master replied, stroking his white whiskers.

Helian Jiao'er chuckled, intending to make use of this information.

However, the Supreme Master continued in a cold tone, "After living a life of luxury and ease, marrying into the family through improper means and pretending to be virtuous and righteous, how could the old man not know?!"

Saying so, the Supreme Master stood up abruptly, flicking his sleeves. Though his apprentice remained silent, the Supreme Master was not oblivious.

It was clear that one daughter lived a pampered and comfortable life, while the other had to earn her own money to pay for admission fees. The Supreme Master could discern the difference in character between Helian Guangyao and the others.

"However, I must thank them for their ruthlessness. Otherwise, I wouldn't have encountered my excellent apprentice so soon. As for Murong Changfeng, I believe my apprentice has seen his true nature by now and understands that he is not a desirable man!"

With that thought, the Supreme Master felt slightly relieved. His apprentice was a natural genius, and the man who could match her had to be extraordinary.

"That's right! Didn't Emperor Taishang mention choosing a concubine for that lazy boy who spends all his time in the ghost hall? Perhaps my apprentice could give it a try..." The Supreme Master mused to himself, thinking that the apprentice might have a chance. However, he couldn't help but wonder why the "lazy boy" hadn't appeared in the courtyard for two days. Was he not admitted to the hospital?

No, that lazy boy always obeyed the emperor's orders. Besides, he had nonchalantly accepted being admitted to the hospital, displaying an attitude of "it doesn't matter, it's just a change of location." He should have already arrived.

So where was he now?

"No test results?" the master asked, holding the ancient scroll in his hand, only to find that the entire page was blank. He looked up at the tall figure before him, brows furrowing. "You haven't taken the test before?"

"Hmm," Baili Jiajie replied indifferently, his face adorned with shards of light and shadow through the branches. His smooth chin appeared even prouder and more handsome in the morning sunlight.

The master found it difficult to comprehend the behavior of these freshmen from the missionary academy and waved his hand dismissively. "In that case, go to the crystal ball for testing and then decide your major."

"There's no need," Baili Jiajie's voice turned cold, devoid of any emotion. "I choose martial arts."

Another person from the poor academy determined to major in martial arts!

To some extent, the master had already developed a prejudice against them. He held the brush in his hand, his face turning blue as he bellowed, "Next!"

The next one was Nangong Lie.

"I don't even need to ask, you'll choose martial arts too, right?"

Nangong Lie smirked mischievously.

The master thought that he finally had some self-awareness and was about to tick the appropriate box on the form.

However, Nangong Lie's smile widened as he said, "I want to major in divination. They say there are many girls there."

The master's expression froze in disgust. Was he here to learn or to pick up girls?

In any case, in a courtyard filled with the least qualified students, there were two individuals who whimsically chose martial arts, while another opted for divination, which seemed even more peculiar.

It was important to note that in the Battle Dragon Empire, both diviners and martial cultivators possessed exceptional talent, which not everyone could harness. Was this person certain they could handle it? Or did they simply choose divination to appear stylish? These students from the missionary academy were truly something!

"This year's freshmen are quite a mixed bunch," the master shook his head while recording. He couldn't help but contemplate the stark contrast between the poor academy and the elite one. "Some people just don't know their place and are too arrogant. The elite academy is different. My, oh my, you have no idea how remarkable Helian Jiao'er's martial spirit is. It's truly astonishing, and that's why the dean has been so pleased lately."
