Chapter 203
Being Shameless Seems to be the Trend Nowadays
“I reckon Xu Ziye or Bie Wenxuan will take the slots if not Xiao Hua.”
“Not Mu Yu?”
“He handed in his papers in less than fifteen minutes. I bet he just scribbled gibberish. Bie Wenxuan and Xu Ziye spent two hours. If he could legitimately finish in fifteen minutes, you can kick my head around.”
“You said the same thing when we betted on Mu Yu finishing the pill.”
“That one was a fluke, so it’s not counted.”
“Pfft.”
A group of disciples around Xu Ziye showered him with praise. Of course, he relished it. He had no doubt he won.
“Senior Brother, I heard Mu Yu is competing for one of the slots. What do you think?”
Xu Ziye glanced at his fellow martial brother out of the corner of his eyes and sneered, “He might win... in his dreams.”
“He finished the incomplete pill, though. I heard you had a bet with him. Should you not uphold your end of the deal?” someone in the crowd asked.
Xu Ziye grouchily looked left and right.
“Senior Brother Xu? Can you give us an answer? Where is Shi Minghui? Time to make good on your word. Don’t be a coward. You have no balls?” taunted Mu Yu, revealing himself conspicuously.
“Shi Minghui already qualified to travel. He’s training in seclusion. Why would he waste his time on someone who handed in a blank paper?”
“Coincidental much? Or is that just his excuse to hide?” jibed Cai Lie.New n0vel chapters are published on
“You expect us to believe you completed the pill just because you claim so? We never saw it. Elder Ku Mu might’ve been the one who finished it for all we know, right, loser?”
“Wow, you have shameless, and then you have Xu Ziye.”
Xiaohua identified eighty-one formulas.
Zhang Yuyu identified seventy-eight formulas.
Liu Yu identified seventy-seven formulas.
Wang Sheng identified seventy-seven formulas.
“Why aren’t you on the list? There must be a mistake,” inquired Cai Lie.
Tian Ran: “Oh, no.”
“Hahaha, what did I tell you?” dug Xu Ziye. “Anything else to say, delusional joke?”
Mu Yu fused his fingers into steely clamps, while the others congratulated Xu Ziye. Mu Yu trained his interrogative glare on Elder Leng, suspecting the elder pulled some strinks.
“Quiet!” demanded the examiner. “Elder Leng has something to say.”
Elder Leng, voice clear, announced, “Besides those ten, we have decided one more examinee will receive a free pass straight to the third round. Mu Yu identified ninety-eight formulas, which is every single one, thereby ranking him in first place.”
“Bie Wenxuan only identified eighty-five. Ninety-eight?”
“In fifteen minutes? He must’ve cheated.”
“Are you questioning Patriarch and our elders?” scolded the examiner, ending the gossping.
“Where’s Xu Ziye?” asked Cai Lie.
Tian Ran: “Don’t tell me he ran off.”
Xu Ziye’s loyal fanboys cried, “He just had a stomach ache and had to leave. Don’t let it get to your head!”
Perhaps being shameless was a trendy thing at the time.
