“What was the situation last night? He looked at Tang Thirty Six’s pale cheeks and asked.
Tang Thirty Six answered, “Last night was an arena. The person who obtained the first place was a young officer from the Academy of Li Palace.”
Chen Chang Sheng switched the topic because he didn’t want Tang Thirty Six to continued drowning in the negative atmosphere. Chen Chang Sheng didn’t really care about the outcome of the Ivy Festival.
Tang Thirty Six raised his eyebrows and asked, “You are not going to ask?”
“Ask what?’
“Why the young officer of the Academy of Li Palace could obtain the first place?”
“The Academy of Li Palace……he was a student under the sect of Pope, what’s so out of place about him getting the first place?”
Tang Thirty Six pointed at himself and said, “It’s not outstanding if someone won against me?”
Chen Chang Sheng was speechless that he was still this prideful of himself. Chen Chang Sheng asked reluctantly, “Okay, then….why?”
Tang Thirty Six was satisfied, “Because I didn’t participate.”
This time Chen Chang Sheng was actually a little surprised. He asked confusingly, “Why?”
“The people who entered the Honor Roll of Green Cloud like Zhuang Huan Yu didn’t participate probably because they didn’t want to lower their status and prepare for the third night. But I didn’t participate because the school didn’t allow me to. They told me to stay in the dorm.”
Tang Thirty Six’s expression got darker.
Chen Chang Sheng didn’t understand. If the Heavenly Academy’s disallowing of Tang Thirty Six to fight with Tian Hai Ya Er was a little overboard but out of good concern, then the second night was too much. Was the school not afraid that Tang Thirty Six would grow hatred towards it?
“Why?”
“Because I wanted to challenge Zhuang Huan Yu.”
Nothing but silence filled the library.
Chen Chang Sheng made sure his ear was working and felt that Tang Thirty Six grew weirder and weirder or rather, more interesting.
He wanted to challenge a senior of the same school, the very person that represented the school.
If Chen Chang Sheng was a teacher of the Heavenly Academy, he wouldn’t accept this himself.
Plus there was no such rule in the Ivy Festival.
“Why?”
“Because I don’t like him.”
“This reason…..”
“What about this reason?”
“It’s a good one.”
Chen Chang Sheng was speechless, he knew there was probably a deeper reason for Tang Thirty Six to challenge Zhuang Huan Yu, but since this guy wasn’t willing to tell him, he had no way of forcing him.
“I used half of the night to break through the seal of the school but by the time I arrived at the festival, the event had already ended.”
Tang Thirty Six thought about what happened last night and was silent for a while, “I was kind of disgusted by the smell of the school and didn’t want to stay there for a while. But I’m not familiar with the capital and had no where else to go, so I came to find you.”
Chen Chang Sheng realized that he was wounded from forcefully breaking the seal that the teachers of Heavenly Academy had set up.
The Heavenly Academy was prestigious and serious, but it wasn’t suited for Tang Thirty Six.
Although the capital was vast, he couldn’t even find a single place to go and stay.
He walked around aimlessly in the streets before the sunrise and noticed that he only knew only one person, Chen Chang Sheng.
Chen Chang Sheng walked to him and folded up the sheet of thin blanket. Then he sat down next to him under the window. He didn’t speak.
They didn’t look at each other or converse, but Tang Thirty Six knew what he was thinking.
“Do not sympathize or pity me…..I’m a genius on the Honor Roll of Green Cloud.”
“Being a genius doesn’t mean you don’t need sympathy.”
“But you are in the same situation as me. In the entire capital, you only know me.”
Tang Thirty Six mocked. Upon remembering this fact, he felt a little better about the situation.
Just this moment, Luo Luo and Xuan Yuan Po walked in from the front door of the library.
Xuan Yuan Po held a much bigger lunch box than normal.
Luo Luo walked toward Chen Chang Sheng and said, “Master, it’s time for lunch.”
Chen Chang Sheng looked at Tang Thirty Six and opened his palm to show that this wasn’t intentional.
Tang Thirty Six always though Chen Chang Sheng’s personality problem was worse than his. He didn’t make any friend in the Heavenly Academy but this guy has already made two and one of them was a pretty, young girl. It landed a large impact in his heart.
Then he remembered what the vice principal told him after the first night of the Ivy Festival.
“You are the one who handicapped Tian Hai Ya Er?” Tang Thirty Six looked at Luo Luo and asked.
