1573 Not Interested

"Way back then, when our Apex Academy rose to prominence, who knows where those four great sun, moon, star, and celestial academies you are speaking of were!"

The short mentor exclaimed in a huff, "I'm telling you all now. Don't you be unconvinced!"

"Our Apex Academy has a great reputation throughout the entire Six Prefectures Continent! Not only Shuntian Prefecture, but the neighboring Anyi Prefecture and Polan Prefecture, etc., also admire our Apex Academy very much."

"Like you children who have just entered Shuntian Prefecture, and I am not exaggerating, you had best come study at our Apex Academy for half a year. Those lousy sun, moon, star, and celestial academies only have a good reputation! In reality, they are unable to teach anything practical at all! They are just a bunch of d*mn sissies with showy moves. What can they do?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Aiyo, especially you girls who are young and also have quite good talent. You're best suited to come to our Apex Academy." The short mentor suddenly targeted Qiao Mu and the round-faced foodie girl beside her.

"Do you want to try applying for our academy? Our academy enrolls students in late July every year and starts classes in early August! We have all five spirit specialties. No matter what you want to learn, there will be excellent mentors like myself personally teaching you one on one! Counting the time, there are only around ten days left for you to prepare. How about it? Do you have the confidence to join our Apex Academy?"

The round-faced girl looked bewilderedly at the short mentor before shaking her head. "Never thought about it."

"Come now, how could you have not thought about it before. Like this little stoic miss next to you is quite good! I see from a glance that she is gifted and intelligent as well as a person of few words. People like her are best suited for studying at our academy."

While he was speaking, the short mentor pulled out a wrinkled piece of paper from his pocket and stuffed it into the little stoic's hand without any room for objection. Afterwards, his sooty black face blossomed widely like a chrysanthemum flower.

"There will be an examination on the 28th of July. As long as you pass our academy's exam, you will be able to successfully join and become a member of our Apex Academy! Little Miss, I'm optimistic about you. You can do it!"

Bai Xia was flabbergasted at the entire conversation. She didn't understand how the situation progressed from Liu Tiantian wanting to settle accounts with the short mentor to the short mentor wanting to take Miss Qiao as a student in his whatever Apex Academy?

Wasn't this change in topic too great of a leap?

Qiao Mu expressionlessly looked down at the wrinkled paper in her hand and then directly slapped it in the short mentor's face.

"Not interested."

Everyone: "…"

The short mentor gazed at her in heartache as he persuaded, "Little fellow, think it over some more! I am Apex Academy's water spirit specialty mentor Zhou Danjin…"

The chap was going to keep prattling on but an excited shout of "Fairy Liren is coming" came from the city gate.

Surging cheers immediately interrupted the short mentor's words, and everyone jostled each other as they pressed curiously forward to see what exactly this Fairy Liren from the Passionless Palace looked like.

They saw long-haired oxen with snow-white hooves rapidly pulling a carriage forged from crow gold toward Julu City's main gate.

The city gate was wide open, and City Lord Hua Qingyu personally came out in welcome. His snow-white robe complemented his noble aura like orchids and jade trees.
