1800 Reject
The entire courtyard fell silent for a moment.
Chu Liuyue was dazed for quite a while before she understood what Thirteen said. He said… he doesn’t want to go to Ling Xiao Academy?
Nan Suhuai was also a little confused. He had never met such a situation before.
Inside the God Residence Realm, many talents bitterly cultivate in hopes of entering Ling Xiao Academy to train. Many even think of this as a glory for their entire family clan and life.
Without exaggeration, Ling Xiao Academy is indeed the top academy that many geniuses pursue diligently. We have always been the one picking others and have never been rejected in this way before.
“Thirteen, you came to the God Residence Realm not long ago, and I don’t think you know what Ling Xiao Academy means.” Chu Liuyue tidied her thoughts and felt that Thirteen was still young and hadn’t considered things thoroughly, which is why he said such words.
She looked at Thirteen and seriously said, “Thirteen, this is an extremely rare chance. Many people want to enter the academy, but they don’t have the right.”
She really didn’t want Thirteen to miss such a great opportunity.
Yet, Thirteen shook his head. “Master, I know all of this.”
Before we came, Big Brother already told me many things about the God Residence Realm. Ling Xiao Academy is the school that Master is in, so we naturally have to understand it. However, I really don’t want to go.
“I know that it’s my honor to be able to receive the director’s praise, but… I’m used to following Big Brother and the rest, and I feel that this is good.” Thirteen paused and took a deep breath in as if mustering his courage. “I don’t want to leave Big Brother and the rest, and I don’t want to leave you.”
…
In another courtyard on Changyi Mountain.
Wu Yao was practicing his punches.
Xiao Ba was practicing her pill refining.
Yu Jiu was waving his wooden sword.
Shi Fang was… digging the ground.
When he came a few days ago, he directly started gardening. Now, fresh sprouts had grown all over the ground.
“I still feel the most assured when eating the vegetables I plant myself!” Shi Fang straightened his back and said emotionally.
He had a habit where he only ate the vegetables he planted himself. During this period of time, he had been busy running around, so he didn’t have the time to do it.
He had already finished the ones he brought from home. He still had to wait a month or so for these newly-planted ones to grow fully.
Shi Fang could only spend his days grudgingly. However, he still felt much better when he saw these fresh sprouts.
“You’re really pickier than me.” Xiao Ba glanced at him. According to Shi Fang’s current cultivation level, it’s fine even if he eats once a month. Yet, this person is so stubborn and has to eat every day! Besides, if it isn’t something he planted himself, he would rather die than eat it. He is spoiled!
Shi Fang did not mind it either. Wiping his forehead sweat, he smiled and said, “Eighth Sister, every time I cook, you eat as well.”
Xiao Ba glanced at him. “If you speak less, nobody will think that you’re a mute!”
Just as Wu Yao finished his practice, he couldn’t help but ask, “When you’re together, can’t you just stop for even a day? You fight every day. Even if you’re not annoyed, my ears are going to rot!”
The two of them ignored him.
Yu Jiu interrupted, “Fifth Brother, since you can’t convince anyone, why must you do this every time?”
Wu Yao’s brows twitched. “Practice your sword!”
Yu Jiu didn’t mind it as he directly put away his sword and chuckled. “What a coincidence—I’m done!”
Wu Yao was too lazy to bother with him.
Yu Jiu walked to the chair at the side and immersed himself in it. “Not to mention other aspects, the Heaven and Earth Force here is rich, and it’s suitable for cultivating… Oh, right!”
He suddenly recalled something and straightened his body. “Why did Master call Thirteen over just now?”
At that time, he was focused on practicing his sword and didn’t pay much attention to it.
Xiao Ba changed her nails. “Oh, I think he caught the eye of Master’s mentor. This kid has only cared about being happy these few days and kept jumping around, not restraining himself at all. See, someone saw him.”
Yu Jiu nodded and was rather worried. “Does that mean… Could it be that he wants to take Thirteen as his disciple? But he’s Master’s mentor. That’s not very appropriate, right?”
“Not really. However, he will most likely get Thirteen to go to Ling Xiao Academy.” Wu Yao walked over as well. “Let’s see what that kid says.”
Xiao Ba snorted. “What’s there to worry about? Thirteen is very smart. How can he agree to go to Ling Xiao Academy?”
“That’s true.” Shi Fang agreed with Xiao Ba for once and nodded. “If he agrees, then we have taught a fool.”
At this point, Cen Yi walked out from the room.
The few of them instantly became disciplined. “Big Brother.”
Cen Yi stood with his hands behind his back and nonchalantly looked at the few of them. He said lightly, “Thirteen has his own views, and he can decide what he wants to do. As for you guys, don’t forget what place this is. You need to be alert about what you can say and cannot say.”
Their expressions became stern. “Yes!”
Cen Yi then nodded.
Actually, he wasn’t worried about the few of them. Ever since that happened to the Master, they were much more alert in every aspect.
“Also, if you hear unfavorable words these few days, ignore all of them. We can talk about it after Master’s wedding.” When Cen Yi spoke of this, he meaningfully stared at Xiao Ba.
Xiao Ba could only raise her hand helplessly. “Got it. Haven’t you seen that I didn’t go out for the past few days?”
There were a few times she almost directly took action when she heard some people whispering. Later on, she decided to just stay on Changyi Mountain. What she did not see could not hurt her!
Cen Yi then nodded in satisfaction. “You can carry on with your matters.”
Then, Cen Yi glanced afar and retracted his gaze before turning into the house.
…
After Thirteen said that sentence, the entire courtyard fell silent again.
Chu Liuyue didn’t know what to say at all. She could tell that Thirteen genuinely meant it.
To others, Ling Xiao Academy might be filled with temptations and was a holy ground that they wanted to go to. However, it was clearly not the case for Thirteen.
She paused and wanted to convince him further. “Thirteen, have you made up your mind? You going to Ling Xiao Academy is just for cultivation, and it doesn’t mean that you will be drifting away from us from now on. After all, I’m also a student of the academy, right?”
Once one missed such a chance, they wouldn’t have it again.
However, Thirteen’s expression slowly became determined. He calmly gazed at Chu Liuyue and shook his head.
Chu Liuyue instantly felt her head ache. If it were Xiao Ba and the rest, I could directly command them. However, Thirteen is still a child.
Nan Suhuai sighed and smiled in relief. “Forget it. It seems like this child has no fate with Ling Xiao Academy, and there’s no point in forcing it. Besides… his talent doesn’t seem to be wasted, and his cultivation progress is decent. He should have quite a good mentor.”
Chu Liuyue knocked her fingers against the stone table lightly.
Thirteen naturally did not have a mentor. He was always brought up by Cen Yi and the rest.
