Time doesn’t bend to the will of a human, or else the time around Chen Chang Sheng would be unmovable as a giant boulder.
A few days later, the second night of the Ivy Festival arrived as expected.
Looking at the invitation letter on the floor, he was surprised. No matter the words of Xu Shi Ji that night or the warning from Officer Xin previously, speaking logically this year’s Ivy Festival are different from the previous year’s. Besides, after the first night’s bloody battle he thought the second night would be delayed.
Luo Luo asked, “Master, are we really not participating?”
Chen Chang Sheng shook his head and said, “We are not going.”
Ivy Festival is an event created by the academies of the capital, it wouldn’t affect them to participate in the Great Trial next year. The reason Chen Chang Sheng joined the first night was to understand the rules of the Great Trial and as well as knowing what kind of person was Xu Shi Ji. Now he has reached both of his goals, why else should he go?
Plus in the second night of the Ivy Festival, countless people would pay attention to the Tradition Academy and stare at him and Luo Luo. He’s not used to such attention.
Luo Luo never thought that he wouldn’t go just like he said. She was confused and sad, “If we went, perhaps we could actually obtain a high ranking.”
The rest of Ivy Festival consisted of intellectual exam and arena. They are similar to the Great Trial in that they would announce the result in ranking. In addition, they wouldn’t end so hastily like the first night. If Luo Luo participated in the arena and Chen Chang Sheng in the intellectual exam, perhaps the Tradition Academy could actually regain a small portion of its former glory.
Chen Chang Sheng said, “It’s meaningless.”
Luo Luo looked at him and said praisingly, “Master is treating fame and glory as dirt. I respect you so much.”
Chen Chang Sheng said honestly, “I’m mainly avoiding troubles.”
