C172 Return to the Outer Court

Liu Zhiruo looked at the three of them and said faintly, "Because you all don't have enough points, you were lucky to be eliminated."

Hearing the result they had guessed earlier, their faces were brimming with a satisfied smile. They bowed towards Liu Zhiruo and said: "Thank you, Instructor."

"According to your potentials, no matter if it's the inner court or the outer court, they will still have some accomplishments. Moreover, it isn't a bad thing to temper yourselves in the outer court first."

"No matter what, this is your decision. The examination is over, and even if you all regret it, it will be too late."

Lan Yun replied enthusiastically from the side: "Instructor, you can be at ease, we will not regret anything."

Liu Zhiruo looked at the three youths in front of him, the emotions in her eyes extremely complicated.

"There is also this time around. I will not mention all of you. If you act recklessly in the Inner Academy's examination one year from now, you will definitely have something to show for it."

Looking at Liu Zhiruo's serious expression and her threatening words, the three of them nodded their heads. They knew that Liu Zhiruo was saying this for their benefit.

After that, Liu Zhiruo flew into the distance and the freshmen of the outer courtyard withdrew themselves from the forest. Zheng Zhenyu hesitated because the wounds on his body were too severe, and he was brought back to the Emperor Xuan Academy to be treated.

After a period of waiting, Yi Qinger came to their side. Looking at the three people who had been eliminated, there was a hint of dejection on their faces.

Long Chenhao saw Yi Qinger walking over, and said with a smile: "Sister Qing'er, you're here."

"You are already eliminated, yet you can still smile." "Sigh, no matter what, it is already over. There is still a chance to return to the Inner Academy if you are more diligent in the Outer Academy."

Seeing the worry on Yi Qinger's face for herself, Long Chenhao couldn't bear to do this, but he had no choice.

"Sister Qing'er, don't worry. I will work hard and try my best to return to the inner courtyard in a year's time."

After hearing what Long Chenhao said, Yi Qinger's mood gradually became better. After that, she brought the three of them out of the forest. As they looked at the scenery around them, many things happened.

Long Chenhao's emotions were extremely complicated. Even when he was walking out of the Outer court freshmen at the very end, he did not see Mu Yu's figure and his heart felt empty. He did not know what he was waiting for.

He was hesitating in his heart. He didn't know what kind of mood he should have when he returned to the Outer Academy, but seeing that Mu Yu was about to face her, the change in expression on Long Chenhao's face didn't escape Yi Qinger's notice.

On the way, Long Chenhao found out from Yi Qinger that this place was their arena for the inner courtyard examination. In other words, a year later, Long Chenhao and the others would come to this place once.

Normally, this would also be the Inner court students's training grounds. As for its specific location, Long Chenhao did not manage to figure it out in the end. All he knew was that it was in a special forest that did not have any demonic beasts.

After returning to their dorm room, Yi Qinger secretly walked together with Lin Mengnuo, but Long Chenhao did not ask them about matters between girls.

"Senior Qing'Er, what business do you have with me?"

"Can't you just find our little beauty if there's nothing to do? And you can just call me Sister Qing'er, just like Little Chen Hao."

Seeing the mysterious smile on Yi Qinger's face, how could she not know that Yi Qinger had something to talk to her about, and also had a very high possibility to be related to Long Chenhao.

The place they were at was a spacious and empty land. There were very few Inner court students s in the surroundings, and a majority of them ran over to take a look at the new junior brothers and sisters.

"Sister Qing'er, you must be joking. If you're talking about beauties, they should be Sister Qing'er."

Yi Qinger did not care about these empty claims. After looking at her surroundings, she said with a smile: "For Long Chenhao's sake, you gave up the chance to enter the Inner Palace, it really moved me.

"Sister Qing'er, you misunderstood that the relationship between him and I is only that of ordinary friends."

Yi Qinger revealed a sweet smile, looked at Lin Mengnuo, and asked in disbelief: "Is it really just that?"

Lin Mengnuo showed hesitation on his face as his face flushed red.

"Actually, I didn't mean anything else. It's just that when he came back today, he saw that the expression on Long Chenhao's face wasn't right. In the future, when he comes to the outer court, I hope that you can take care of him a little more."

"We are good friends. If anything happens to him, he will definitely help them."

Hearing Lin Mengnuo's words, Yi Qinger's face revealed satisfaction.

"Then I'll thank you here. If you have any difficulties in the future, don't forget to come and find me. I'll do my best to help you."

Lin Mengnuo nodded, then returned to her dorm room to pack up. After saying a simple goodbye to her roommates, he, Long Chenhao and the others returned to the Outer Academy with the protection of their instructors.

Because they were eliminated from the Inner Academy, and compared to the other freshmen, they had some special features, so Long Chenhao and Lan Yun were arranged to sleep in a single room. Lin Mengnuo's arrangements were even more special, as she monopolized the entire room by herself.

After they had tidied up their dorms, Yu Dong went back to find them.

"Boss, it's really great to be able to see all of you again. I originally thought all of you were joking. I didn't think that all of you would really be willing to give up your status as the Inner Academy and return to the Outer Academy."

Yu Dong stayed by Long Chenhao's side during the exam. After experiencing many things together, he also felt admiration for Long Chenhao from the bottom of his heart. In front of Long Chenhao, he did not have the slightest bit of arrogance from a noble family's young master.

"Yu Dong! Let me tell you the truth! Actually, we came here to seek refuge, so we still need to rely on you to take care of us in the outer court! "

It was the first time Yu Dong had seen Lan Yun's serious expression, and he could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he said in an extremely loyal voice, "Boss, no matter who it is that's making things difficult for us in the outer courtyard, as long as we join hands, we would definitely teach him a lesson."

Long Chenhao, who was at the side, could not watch any longer. He patted the shoulder of Yu Dong, who was expressing his loyalty, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to him fooling around here. We came here to train properly, not to fight."

"Don't, boss, what's the point if we don't fight? I've already discussed this with the freshmen who were in the assessment earlier, we'll follow behind boss in the future."

Lan Yun patted Yu Dong's shoulders, "Brat, you're very understanding, don't worry. If there's anything you need me to do, I will definitely inform you, and let us roam the outer courtyard for a career!"

Long Chenhao looked at Lan Yun who was pretending to be a saintly person. He felt helpless in his heart, but he did not try to stop him.

Temple of the Crown

Many elders were sitting in a large room with a long table placed in the middle. All around them were all the coaches. If others were to see this, they would definitely be shocked.

There were many influential people in the Gliding Continent among these people, and all of them had reached a terrifying level of strength.

There were no superfluous decorations in the room, and it seemed that there were some empty spaces. The surrounding atmosphere was very solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy.

If Long Chenhao was here, he would definitely recognize the person seated beside the Principal as Zhu Yan.

The person who sat on the main seat was the Principal of the Emperor Xuan Academy, an old man with a head full of flowery hair and a face full of wrinkles. He narrowed his eyes slightly.

The aura it emitted made no one dare to underestimate this unassuming old man.

"Keng Keng." The old man cleared his throat, and then said in a hoarse voice: "The reason why I called everyone here today is for the problems that we, the Emperor Xuan Academy, will face in the future."

Hearing this, the surrounding people's emotions all gathered together. They had obtained some information in the past, but they weren't very sure about it. However, today, it seemed that the rumors before had been proven true.

"During the ancient era, we, the Emperor Xuan Academy, made great efforts for the peace of the Gliding Continent. In the subsequent stages of development, in order to show our openness and tolerance, we allowed the instructors of various forces to train the various geniuses together."

"However, after so many years, for the sake of personal gain, they had exerted all sorts of pressure on the children of commoners, causing all of their cultivation resources to go to the young generation of their family."

"It caused the uneven distribution of resources and the unfair phenomenon, causing the image of our Emperor Xuan Academy to be damaged and had an extremely bad influence."

"Now, I suggest that we dismiss all the instructors from the outer courtyard that have come from all sorts of powers, and let the instructors from our Emperor Xuan Academy take charge of them. If you have any suggestions or good suggestions, just put them forward!"

The originally quiet room became even quieter. They were clear about the problems that the Emperor Xuan Academy was facing, and it was not as simple as they thought.

After a while, an old man slowly asked, "Principal, do you also want to dismiss those teachers with good character?"

"Everyone has different standards for appraising good or bad people. In order to live up to the reputation created by senior, everyone has to resign." A resolute expression appeared on the dean's wrinkled face. This question had already been answered in his mind, and was the reason for this meeting.

"Principal's words will greatly affect the strength of our Emperor Xuan Academy and will affect our future development. Therefore, we should still think about it more." A middle-aged man stood up and said to the old man.

The old man looked at him coldly, then said: "We will lose our strength, don't tell me our Emperor Xuan Academy plans to dominate the continent. After all, can we rely on them to truly lose our strength?"

"And from the Primordial Era to now, so many years have passed. Haven't you guys seen clearly the true quality of our Emperor Xuan Academy?"
