Under normal circumstances, being able to see this female lecturer’s Saintly Radiance of healing, would cause the examinees to give nonstop praise in admiration, but at this time, their concentration was solely focused upon the result of the duel.
The disciple from the Precipice of Violet Qi did not come out.
Qi Jian went up to the Li Palace clergyman and asked: “Sir, our junior disciple is…?”
The bluffs of the Longevity Sect are of one voice, branches of the same sect.
Qi Jian is a disciple of Li Shan Sword Sect, enquiring about the status of a disciple from the Precipice of Violet Qi was something considered logical by many people. Only Chen Chang Sheng found this scene slightly puzzling, not understanding why it was the younger Qi Jian, who was evidently unused to handling these affairs, who had made the enquiry and not Gou Han Shi.
His seniors had yet to say anything, why had the junior brother been the first to voice his concern?
Chen Chang Sheng noticed that Gou Han Shi’s expression was calm as usual, Guan Fei Bai and Liang Ban Hu did not have any sort of response, seemingly finding Qi Jian’s action to be normal.
The Li Palace clergyman answered: “The loser cannot remain here, the person you are asking for has already been escorted out of the Education Palace, at this moment they should be at the Hall of Resplendent Bravery getting their injuries treated, there’s no need to worry.”
Qi Jian turned his head to glance at Gou Han Shi, seeing that his senior didn’t have any response, he returned.
The Li Palace clergyman glanced at the list in his hand, then turned his gaze towards the examinees and said: “Where is examinee number 17, Huo Guang?”
The moment he finished, a young scholar slowly walked out from the crowd.
That scholar wore an ochre coloured cheongsam, the stare between his eyes seemed to convey a cover of frost, his expression aloof and proud to the extreme.
He had the qualifications to back that pride.
Upon seeing him walk out, the bottom-half examinees had a turn in expression; the tension was higher than when the student from Star Seeker Academy was choosing their opponent.
That was because this scholar came from Cassia Mansion.
That scholar was the one who had previously gotten into a quarrel with Tang Thirty-Six in the Dallying Forest.
The atmosphere at the match grounds grew ever more tense, very few examinees dared to meet his gaze, many secretly prayed that he wouldn’t choose them.
The clergy had arranged for the bottom-half examinees to stand in the Western section before the Tower of Purging Dust.
That scholar’s gaze swept across the match grounds, turning towards a certain direction.
It turned towards the woodlands; covered densely in evergreen trees that could blot out the sun, it was a fair distance from the Tower of Purging Dust and thus, none of the examinees were standing there.
Luo Luo didn’t like basking in the sun, even if it was an artificial one inside the Pope’s Green Leaf World.
Therefore, Chen Chang Sheng had taken everyone to stand in that location.
The group from Orthodox Academy, were standing by the woodlands.
That scholar from Cassia Mansion’s gaze had fallen upon the woodlands, upon the group from Orthodox Academy.
Chen Chang Sheng’s expression was calm.
Xuan Yuan Po did not have any reaction; he was staring at an ant near his feet vacuously.
Luo Luo held a silk handkerchief and was using it to fan Chen Chang Sheng.
Only Tang Thirty-Six had some sort of reaction.
His brow twitching, head raised, staring at the scholar from Cassia Mansion.
His expression, indescribably proud, akin to saying: choose me, come choose me.
