1211 Sheng Xiao: I’m a married man
“Silence!” After Director Murong shouted loudly, all the participants instantly fell silent. Jing Jiaren nodded at Yu Huang and turned around. She stood quietly at the head of the table as she raised her head slightly to look at the high platform.
As Yu Huang stared at Jing Jiaren’s back, her gaze swept past the golden hairpin on her head a few times, but in the end, she restrained the urge to take the golden hairpin for herself.
Director Murong was wearing a dark green dress and a thick fur coat on her shoulders. After she walked to the high platform confidently and stood behind the speech table, she said in a low voice, “Everyone, after 20 days, the intercontinental finals have been successfully concluded!”
When she said the word ‘successfully’, she glanced at Yu Huang, Sheng Xiao, and Ye Qingyang meaningfully.
It was no exaggeration to say that her eyes were burning with anger.
She wished she could burn them to death.
After Director Murong suppressed all her dissatisfaction, the corners of her lips curled up into a dignified smile as she said, “The school selection ceremony is both your choice of academy and the academy’s recognition of you. Next, let me invite the administrators of the ten academies to stand in front of the stage and accept the selection of the elite participants!”
Hearing this, the ten high school administrators quickly walked to the stage. Everyone was holding an empty tray.
As Yu Huang stared at the tray in their hands, she wondered what it was.
Director Murong suddenly shouted, “Jing Jiaren, step out!”
When she heard this, the number one expert of this year’s participants, Jing Jiaren, walked up the stairs gracefully and arrived at an independent platform in front of the high platform. At this moment, she became the center of attention.
After her beautiful eyes swept across the high school administrators in front of the high platform, Jing Jiaren’s gaze landed on a short old man. The old man was wearing a black suit and the identity card on his chest read “Cang Lang Academy – Professor Cheng.”
Jing Jiaren bowed to the old woman and said, “I want to enter Cang Lang Academy!”
Hearing this, the short old man revealed a gratified smile, while the administrators of the other high schools couldn’t hide their disappointment. The old man said to Jing Jiaren, “I hope you can be like your aunt and bring honor to our school.”
With that, the old man reached out and grabbed the empty tray. Then, a simple pass appeared in his hand.
It was the pass for Beast Tamers to enter Cang Lang Academy, just like the academy badge of the Divine Realm Academy.
The old man teleported the pass to Jing Jiaren, who reached out her hands respectfully and caught the pass. Then, she cupped her fists at the old man and disappeared from the spot.
As a peak late-stage Grand Master, Jing Jiaren naturally comprehended teleportation, so it wasn’t strange for her to disappear directly.
After Jing Jiaren left, Director Murong shouted coldly, “Yu Huang, step out!”
As her combat boots stepped on the cold and hard stone stairs, Yu Huang strode onto the independent platform and turned to face the administrators of the 10 academies.
Her tall and graceful figure was deeply engraved in the minds of every participant. From today onwards, the name Yu Huang would spread throughout the cultivation world of the Cang Lang Continent and she would become a celebrity among the young Beast Tamers.
After Yu Huang bowed to all the high school administrators respectfully, she stood up straight. Her gaze was calm as she looked at the short Professor Cheng from Cang Lang Academy with respect and said, “I, Yu Huang, also want to enter Cang Lang Academy.”
The old man stared into Yu Huang’s eyes for a long time, as if he was recalling an old friend through her eyes. Then, the old man suddenly asked her, “Do you mind sharing with us the reason why you chose Cang Lang Academy?”
Cang Lang Academy was indeed the number one academy in the Cang Lang Continent, but the other academies weren’t bad either.
Yu Huang didn’t know what answer the old man wanted to hear, and she couldn’t be bothered to figure out the old man’s intentions, so she said truthfully, “I have a wish.”
The old man nodded at her. “What is it?”
Yu Huang’s expression was calm, but her words were filled with arrogance. She said, “I want to write the name Yu Huang under the Inner Academy’s wall of honor, after Yin Mingjue’s name.”
The old man was stunned.
He gazed at Yu Huang deeply as he marveled, the lonely name under the Holy Spirit Academy’s section might really become two or three names…
“You’re quite ambitious!” The old man seemed to admire Yu Huang’s arrogance very much.
It was a good thing to be low-key and reserved, but it was also a good thing to be a little arrogant.
The old man grabbed an empty tray with his fingers and took out a pass. Then, he threw the pass to Yu Huang as he reminded her earnestly, “Cang Lang Academy’s buildings are dilapidated and can’t withstand the Star Arrow. You have to use it carefully.”
Yu Huang was a little embarrassed. After she grabbed the pass, she lowered her eyes to reply, “Don’t worry. I definitely won’t use the Star Arrow in Cang Lang Academy.” She would use it elsewhere.
The old man was speechless.
He watched as Yu Huang turned around and left. Suddenly, he chuckled. “Little demoness!”
Seeing Yu Huang reminded him of an outstanding student called Jing Rujiu.
It was strange that he didn’t see Jing Rujiu’s resemblance in Jing Jiaren, who was also a member of the Jing Clan. Instead, he saw Jing Rujiu’s resemblance in this little girl.
After Yu Huang left the stage, it was Murong Jiangcheng’s turn.
Murong Jiangcheng also chose Cang Lang Academy.
In other words, the top three participants unanimously chose Cang Lang Academy. Fortunately, the last few participants chose other academies. Only then did the academy administrators feel less displeased.
…
“Sheng Xiao, step forward!”
Finally, it was Sheng Xiao’s turn.
As Sheng Xiao walked up the independent platform with his head held high, he received everyone’s attention again.
Even Director Murong’s gaze stopped on him.
Before Sheng Xiao could speak, he heard the administrator of the Special Academy say with a smile, “Sheng Xiao, come to our Special Academy. Cang Lang Academy is boring. There are many beauties in our school, so things will be more interesting.”
Professor Cheng of Cang Lang Academy snorted and exposed, “Yes, their academy is indeed filled with beauties. The number one beauty of the Four-Armed Clan is in their academy. She was born with four arms. She’s also tall and strong, so she can easily carry Sheng Xiao and raise him high.”
Then, Professor Cheng hooked his chin at Sheng Xiao and asked, “Do you like girls like that?”
Sheng Xiao’s expression didn’t change when he heard Professor Cheng’s words. He even felt that it was disrespectful for Professor Cheng to criticize a woman’s appearance in public.
Sheng Xiao shook his head slightly, but didn’t answer Professor Cheng’s question. He smiled at the administrator of the Special Academy apologetically and said, “Thank you for your appreciation, Professor Su. There are beauties in your school, so naturally, there are talented people. However, I’m a married man, so I should stay loyal to my wife.”
Everyone was stunned.
