Chapter 397.2: Great Liang's Chen Chao - Part 2

Upon entering the academy, as expected, a group of students stopped in their tracks upon seeing Chen Chao and Xie Nandu.

Many people looked over with ugly expressions. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.come who had not seen Chen Chao and Xie Nandu before looked puzzled, but soon, their fellow students who knew the truth whispered softly, "It's that young martial artist and the Dean's final disciple, Xie Nandu!"

Upon hearing this, a low murmur quickly spread through the crowd. There was naturally no need to bring up who Chen Chao was. From the verbal altercation at South Lake to becoming the champion in the Myriad Willow Convention's martial examination, then becoming the deputy commander of the Left Guard, and even briefly serving as the commander. In the spy-catching incident last winter, he gained quite a bit of infamy. Now, being granted the right to bear arms by His Majesty the Emperor, he was indeed a prominent figure in the Divine Capital. As for Xie Nandu, just being the Dean's final disciple was enough for everyone to remember her. From being the champion in the literary examination at Myriad Willow Convention to now being known as a sword cultivator, it could be said that among the younger generation of the Great Liang Dynasty, there was no one comparable to Chen Chao, and among the women, none could match even a tenth of Xie Nandu's brilliance.

Now that the two appeared in front of everyone like this, it was obvious what it meant.

"Have these two confirmed their relationship?"

A student from the academy whispered under his breath in disbelief. Apart from jealousy, there was only envy left.

After all, Xie Nandu had always been the most admired figure among the current generation of students in the academy. Whether it was her family background or her own qualities, there was nothing to pick on.

Xie Nandu was the fairy in the hearts of countless people.

It was just that the foreign cultivation world's so-called fairies did not include the Great Liang Dynasty's cultivators. Otherwise, Xie Nandu would be a part of them too.

Strolling along the lakeside, Chen Chao muttered softly, "If looks could kill, I'd have died countless times already."

Xie Nandu whispered back, "It's okay, you have thick skin."

Chen Chao was speechless, but after he looked up, he felt even more distressed. At this moment, before he even reached the courtyard, more and more students were gathering by the lake. Presumably, the news of their arrival had spread among the students when they entered the academy. Now, the entire academy knew about it.

Chen Chao felt his hair standing on end being stared at by these people.

However, he was currently seriously injured. It was impossible to go any faster.

Outside the crowd, in the small pavilion at the center of the lake, the Dean held a handful of fish food and gently tossed it into the lake. Then, he glanced over in this direction and muttered discontentedly, "This kid is so scheming. What does your little junior sister see in him?"

The scholar standing beside him smiled and said, "Chen Chao is not without his merits. Among the youngsters in the Great Liang Dynasty, there are few who can match him."

The Dean frowned and said, "Well, I still don't like him."

Listening to his teacher's childish words, Wei Xu just smiled and then said, "Perhaps every father in the world thinks that every young man interested in his daughter is a heinous criminal. Is Teacher having similar thoughts now?"

The Dean remained silent. He had no Dao companion. Although he had a relationship in his youth, in the end, he failed to become Dao companions with the woman due to various reasons. So it was naturally impossible for him to have any children. Without descendants, he saw his students as his children.

As the Dean's only female disciple, he thought differently about Xie Nandu.

The Dean said softly, "Nandu will surely achieve great success in the future. Perhaps she'll be the most remarkable woman in the history of the Great Liang Dynasty... No, she'll be the most extraordinary woman in the past thousand years!" The Dean's words were the highest praise for Xie Nandu.

Perhaps any praise for Xie Nandu in the world could not compare to the Dean's words now.

"It's Mr. Wei!"

The Divine Capital boasted the most famous scholars in the world, and that scholar was in the academy, currently under the pavilion in the center of the lake..

Since that person was Mr. Wei, then who was the figure whose face was not very clear?

An answer quickly came to mind.

Countless gazes became fervent, filled with respect as they looked toward the pavilion in the heart of the lake..

Before long, someone exclaimed loudly, "Greetings, Lord Dean!"

Then a series of voices sounded out, one after another.

Towards the Dean of the academy, they only held respect, and nothing else.

As the voices subsided, under the scrutiny of countless eyes, Wei Xu slowly unfurled the list, appearing somewhat absent-minded.

After a moment, he came back to his senses looked at the students by the lake, saying softly, "In this Latent Dragon List update, one of our academy's students made it onto the list."

The students immediately widened their eyes. After so many years, had someone from the academy finally made it onto the Latent Dragon List again?

Many already had an answer in mind.

Wei Xu did not leave them hanging, announcing loudly, "Tenth on the Latent Dragon List, from our academy, Xie Nandu!"

Tenth?!

The lakeside erupted into exclamations. Everyone could have guessed that Xie Nandu would make it onto the list this time, but absolutely no one could have expected that Xie Nandu would enter the top ten as soon as she got on the list. Even though she was only tenth, one had to know that her cultivation time was much shorter compared to the other young geniuses of the current era.

Being able to rank tenth already spoke volumes.

The Dean grumbled with dissatisfaction, "Just tenth."

Wei Xu did not explain, he just looked at the students of the academy and said, "Take this as an example, everyone. Study and cultivate diligently to bring glory to our Great Liang!"

The students responded with a resounding roar, their voices echoing like thunder.

However, after saying this, Wei Xu did not put away the list. Instead, he looked at the students by the lake and said, "In this Latent Dragon List update, only one person from our academy made it onto the list, but our Great Liang has more than one."

This immediately caused an uproar among the students, and discussions erupted all around.

But it was the next sentence from Wei Xu that was like dropping a huge boulder into the South Lake, causing countless ripples.

"Third on the Latent Dragon List, Great Liang's Chen Chao!"
