As for Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao, when they saw Lin Yi again, their eyes became extremely passionate. If there weren't so many people watching, the two of them would have already flown into Lin Yi's arms. Unfortunately, they couldn't do it now. They couldn't even speak and could only stand at the side and watch.
As for Wei Zhaotong and Cheng Ketian, they were laughing coldly and complacently without end at this moment. As far as they were concerned, since the matter had developed to this point, Lin Yi had no room to refuse at all, and he could only obediently jump into the trap they'd dug for him. Otherwise, if he dared make the three heads lose face in public, then he would immediately die a miserable death.
Lin Yi glanced at the crowd in surprise. Before he could speak, Qin Deli had already taken a step forward and announced in front of everyone, "Ling Yi, because you can challenge Nascent Soul Stage experts and have amazing potential, you have received the appreciation of the three deans of our Morning Star Academy. We have decided to make an exception and accept you as a disciple. From today onwards, you will join our Morning Star Academy. This is a rare opportunity given by the heavens. You must grasp it well."
Lin Yi was even more stunned after hearing this. After glancing at the three magnates, he looked at Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao. Seeing that the two of them shook their heads without batting an eyelid, he immediately knew that this wasn't their idea.
But if it wasn't Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao, but someone else, why would they inexplicably recommend him to the three magnates of the Mountain Opening Period? What was their intention?
How sharp was Lin Yi? He immediately caught the slight exchange of glances between Qin Deli, Wei Zhaotong, and Cheng Ketian. As expected, those who were unaccountably solicitous were hiding evil intentions. Since this person was in cahoots with Wei Zhaotong, it definitely wasn't a good thing. Who knew, there might be some conspiracy waiting for him behind the scenes!
This kind of thing, Lin Yi naturally couldn't agree. If he really had this intention, he wouldn't have been put in a difficult position in Zhenduan City. Why would he wait until now?
"Three seniors. My aptitude is poor. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the three seniors. "Lin Yi immediately cupped his hands and rejected.
"Poor aptitude? This Young Hero Ling is too humble, isn't he? The matter of you crippling a peak early Nascent Soul Realm expert at the docks is something that everyone can see. Now that the three of us Academy Heads have personally come to invite you, you're still purposely avoiding us like this. Isn't this a little unreasonable? Don't tell me you don't put our Morning Star Academy in your eyes? "Qin Deli immediately seized the opportunity to provoke.
Ling Yuan Qing and the other two also frowned slightly. No matter what, this Ling Yi's rejection was too hasty and straightforward. He didn't even consider the most basic of things. It was indeed a little embarrassing.
The expressions of the three heavyweights turned cold, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense and oppressive. Even Qi Wenhan was sweating on behalf of Lin Yi. This was different from Wei Zhaotong and Cheng Ketian. If he really offended the big shots of the Morning Star Academy, his small Heaven's Equal Escort Agency would not be able to protect Lin Yi.
Everyone's gazes fell on him, but Lin Yi smiled faintly, not minding it. He pointed at Huang Xiaotao who stood beside the Divine Nun of the East Sea and replied calmly, "Don't tell me you've all forgotten. Back in Zhenduan City, junior Huang and I participated in the selection together. However, my aptitude was just too poor, so I was eliminated in the first round … "
Ling Yuanqing and the others already had a slight impression of him. Now that Lin Yi mentioned it, they immediately came to a realisation. So it was him!
If it were only Lin Yi, the three heavyweights of the Mountain Establishment period might not have paid attention to him, but back then. When they were stunned by Huang Xiaotao's exceptional aptitude, Huang Xiaotao had specially discussed it with her senior brother, so they obviously paid attention to him.
Ling Yuanqing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. From what he remembered, Ling Yi's Spiritual Root only had a single attribute of fire, so he was directly eliminated. Furthermore, he didn't have any outstanding performance during the selection. If he was really that powerful and could fight against an opponent of a higher realm, he would definitely have mentioned it on the spot and participated in the formation attack test!
After all, the selection rules of the Morning Star Academy clearly stated that if he really had the strength to take on opponents of higher cultivation levels, he would still have a chance of entering the academy as long as he performed outstandingly in the formation attack test, even if his spiritual root was average. Ling Yuanqing remembered very clearly that Ling Yi had not requested to participate back then.
Ling Yuanqing did not feel like Ling Yi was hiding anything at such an important event. Logically speaking, since he had come to participate in the selection, he definitely hoped to enter the academy. Moreover, he was with Huang Xiaotao, so he definitely did not want to be separated from her. If he could enter the academy, why would he have given up in the first place?
"What's going on?" Ling Yuanqing turned his head to look at Qin Deli with a look of reproach in his eyes. The three heavyweights of the Mountain Establishment period had come here full of hope, but this was the result. This was too disappointing.
Qin Deli immediately panicked. Originally, it was an impeccable situation, but he never thought that with just a few simple words, it would suddenly turn out like this. The dean Ling Yuanqing's reproach was not something a small purchasing deacon like him could bear!
"I …" Qin Deli was speechless, and could only turn his head to look at Wei Zhaotong and Cheng Jutian. His eyes were filled with anger and reproach. He originally thought that it would be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, but he did not expect it to turn out like this. This time, he was really screwed over by these two fellows.
Wei Zhaotong was also dumbfounded. He only wanted to deal with Lin Yi after listening to Cheng Jutian's words. He did not understand it at all, and it was even more impossible for him to know that there was such an inside story. For a moment, he was also at a loss. He pushed Cheng Jutian who was beside him. This was his fault, so of course he had to clean it up.
"Impossible! When this fellow first came to the Wei Arc City, he clearly injured our Poison Eye Mercenary Group's Old Kong with the strength of the early Golden Core Stage. He is a peak early Nascent Soul Stage expert! "Cheng Jutian was also anxious and quickly jumped out to say.
When Ling Yuanqing and the others heard this, their gazes then fell onto Lin Yi. They couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Although they did not know Cheng Jutian, at least they could be sure that this person would not dare to lie in front of the three heavyweights of the Mountain Establishment period. Moreover, this kind of thing could definitely be found with other witnesses. In other words, this Ling Yi really had some reservations?
For a moment, everyone's gazes were a little more scrutinizing. If this was really the case, then what Ling Yi's intentions were a little bit interesting.
"What he said is right." Lin Yi did not deny it, but immediately said, "It's just that at that time, I was working together with Junior Huang. With Junior Huang's heaven defying talent, it is not strange for us to work together to defeat a peak early Nascent Soul Stage expert …"
