Ji Dong floated down from the sky, arriving at Chen Sixuan's side. He glanced at her, as if his own breakthrough didn't count for anything, his expression extraordinarily calm: "We should return to the Academy. You're the princess of Eastern Wood Empire, if you don't return, I'm afraid the Academy will be in trouble."
Chen Sixuan pouted a bit discontentedly. Couldn't he change his attitude? She'd done so much, but this guy was still like a lump of wood. But the more he was like this, the more contradictory her feelings towards Ji Dong became. He'd also become like this because of her! How could she be angry because of Ji Dong's refusal? This kind of contradictory mentality constantly wreaked havoc in Chen Sixuan's heart, making her feel a kind of almost insane pain. However, she still suppressed this pain. No matter what, at least right now she was still together with him, she was at his side. With this, everything else didn't seem so important. As long as she could accompany him, even if he still wasn't willing to accept her, Chen Sixuan felt very satisfied.
Chen Sixuan's discontentment immediately disappeared because of Ji Dong's words.
"We have to hurry back as soon as possible, I'll carry you." While speaking, Ji Dong turned around, his upper body slightly lowering.
Chen Sixuan cheered and pounced on him fiercely. Their white matching outfits shimmered under the light of the rising sun, which was gradually returning to normal. When their figures overlapped, it was as if they had become one.
Ji Dong sighed a bit helplessly. Shooting up, he spread his wings and flew in the direction of Blazing Fire City. The reason he was willing to carry Chen Sixuan and fly was of course not because he accepted her feelings, but because he wanted to hurry back as soon as possible. Carrying this incomparably seductive beauty was absolutely not a wonderful thing for him. The nervousness in his heart wasn't any less than when he faced the Three-legged Golden Bird.
… …
Blazing Academy, first year auditorium.
There were a total of ninety-nine students from the ten classes, as well as the nine teachers-in-charge apart from Class One, had already arrived. Today was the commendation assembly for the Almans Mountain trial.
Excluding the possibility that Princess Xuan might have been trapped in the volcanic eruption, this trial was very successful from the academy's point of view. Not to mention the entire trial process, just being able to bring out ninety-nine percent of the students after the volcanic eruption was already pretty good. The teachers' reaction speed and grasp of the timing of their retreat were all very good. As for that teachers-in-charge of Class One, teacher Ji Dong, apart from the students of Class One, he had already been ignored by everyone else. The only impression they had left of Ji Dong was only dissatisfaction. If you die, then die, why drag Princess Xuan down with you?
These past few days, Xuanyuan Xin's heart had gradually calmed down. At least the people from the Eastern Wood Empire hadn't come looking for trouble. After that volcanic eruption, they had retreated. On the way back, they had encountered the Eastern Wood Empire's War God of Annihilation, Chen Longao. As soon as Chen Longao heard that Princess Xuan hadn't left Almans Mountain, he immediately went to look for her. After that, he never appeared again. With Principal Zhurong's guarantee, Xuanyuan Xin didn't think too much about it. Even if there were any problems, the academy would take care of it. Just like Zhurong said, this was the Southern Fire Empire, not the Eastern Wood Empire. Even if Princess Xuan died, it would only be an accident.
This time's commendation assembly was presided over by Xuanyuan Xin. There were eleven banquets in the auditorium. The teachers sat at one table, and the students of the ten classes sat at another.
Xuanyuan Xin stood up and said with a smile: "Today we are holding the commendation assembly for the Almans Mountain trial. In this trial, apart from a few classes that had problems, the vast majority of the classes performed extremely well. The academy's promise is absolutely true. Now, I will announce the ten students with the best results after the comprehensive evaluation of the teachers of each class.
"Tenth place, fifth class Geng Metal Department student Ye Tian."
"Ninth place, sixth class Sixth class Earth Department student Yuan Feishuang."
…
"First place, second class Geng Metal Department student Ma Qun."
Every time Xuanyuan Xin announced a name, the class would let out a cheer. In the evaluation of the top ten, it could be said that every class other than Class 1 had been taken into consideration. Among them, Class 2, including the first ranked Ma Qun, had two people on the list. The other eight spots belonged to Class 3 to Class 10. It could be said that they were evenly distributed, and only Class 1 was missing.
Under normal circumstances, Class One's students should be sitting at the table closest to the teacher's table, but right now, in the hall, the students of Class One, with Zi Chenxing in the lead, were sitting at the table closest to the door.
Hearing Xuanyuan Xin announce the top ten results of the trial, all the students of Class 1 clenched their fists tightly.
Zi Chenxing had represented the students of Class 1 to report the results of the trial to Xuanyuan Xin. However, Xuanyuan Xin did not even listen to a word of it. He only replied coldly that the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Ji Dong, had acted on his own and did not cooperate with Class 3, so the results were invalid. There was no need for him to report anything.
What was even more intolerable for the students of Class 1 was that ever since they returned from Almans Mountain, they had been treated coldly like never before. They had even become the laughingstock of all the classes of the first year. Even the teachers had purposely made things difficult for them in class. When they tried to explain that they had killed Class 6 Magical Beasts, they were snorted at.
"Chenxing, I can't take it anymore. This bullshit department head, Xuanyuan Xin, is clearly trying to disgust us. While teacher Ji Dong isn't here, he's suppressing our Class 1 like this." The one who spoke was Luo Rong from the Sixth Earth major. She was so angry that her face had turned red.
Hou Xin said angrily, "Isn't it because teacher Ji Dong stole his position as homeroom teacher of Class 1? That teacher Tang Yilian is his wife, so of course she's on his side. If we're talking about breaking the rules, why can their class obtain results when the student from Class 3 is even ranked second? That's bullshit. Compared to us, what are they?"
"All of you, shut up." Zi Chenxing growled. He knocked his finger on the table, and an extremely cold light shone from his eyes.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Xin continued, "In order to commend the success of this trial, with the approval of Principal Zhu Rong, we've specially held today's commendation ceremony. The students who have obtained rankings can come to me tomorrow to receive their awards. Today, the academy will temporarily lift the ban for you all, so you can play to your heart's content for the day. But all of you, remember, no one is allowed to drink too much. Don't be like that drunkard from Class 1, who even lost his life on Mt. Almans."
Xuanyuan Xin's last sentence, which carried a hint of mockery, immediately caused the other classes to roar with laughter. The faces of the students from Class 1 instantly became even uglier.
"All of you, sit down and don't move." Zi Chenxing growled and abruptly stood up. He grabbed a bottle of wine from the table, opened the bottle cap, and filled up the cup in front of him. This was a bottle of strong wine with an extremely high alcohol content. The cup Zi Chenxing was holding was even a cup used to hold drinks. This cup was half full, and this was not all. He took Hou Xin's drink cup, which was sitting beside him, and poured another large cup of strong wine. With a dark expression, he picked up two cups of wine and strode towards the teacher's table.
The students of Class 1 all stood up subconsciously. They all understood what Zi Chenxing wanted to do. If it was said that the ten students of Class 1 were like scattered sand at the start of the semester, then after the trial on Mt. Almans, as well as the pressure they had withstood from various parts of the academy, they had already truly become one. Xuanyuan Xin's pressure finally caused these young and energetic students of Class 1 to be unable to endure it any longer. Zi Chenxing could still barely maintain his calm, and told the others not to move. However, under the common enemy, how could the others just sit and watch!
The banquet had just begun, and Zi Chenxing's actions instantly attracted everyone's gazes. In the hall, every student looked at him in shock, not understanding what he wanted to do.
Very quickly, Zi Chenxing had already walked to the main table where the teachers were seated with his head held high. Tang Yilian, who was sitting beside Xuanyuan Xin, glared at him and said: "Zi Chenxing, what are you doing?"
Zi Chenxing didn't even pay attention to Tang Yilian, and looked at Xuanyuan Xin with a burning gaze. He passed the cup of wine in his hand in front of him, and said coldly: "Teacher Xuanyuan, thank you for taking care of our Class 1 students in this trial. I've specially come to toast you with a cup of wine." When he said the word 'taking care', he intentionally emphasized his tone.
Xuanyuan Xin glanced at him, and said indifferently: "You're not qualified to toast me. Return to your seat." His voice was very loud, and everyone in the hall could hear him.
Roars of laughter immediately rang out, and there were even students from other classes who whistled and said: "Not qualified, scram …"
Xuanyuan Xin's face instantly flushed red. Suddenly, the wine cup in his right hand shook, and a full cup of strong wine was already splashed towards Xuanyuan Xin.
As the head of the Geng Metal Department, Xuanyuan Xin never thought that a first year student would actually dare to splash wine on him. He was instantly splashed all over his head and face, and the laughter in the hall also abruptly stopped.
"You're courting death." Xuanyuan Xin slammed the table and stood up. A piercing white light had already burst forth from his body. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Zi Chenxing glared at him without fear. The students of Class 1 all rushed forward, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly seemed to freeze.
Xuanyuan Xin's words, "You're not qualified," made the other teachers at his table frown, but Zi Chenxing's actions made them even more shocked.
Just at this moment, a cold voice rang out from the entrance of the hall: "Stop."
More than a hundred people looked towards the entrance of the hall and saw a man and a woman walk in at the same time. They both wore white clothes, and the silver embroidered lovers' dresses made them seem so compatible. That woman, wasn't she the tenth most beautiful woman in the world, Toumu Saintess, Chen Sixuan? Beside her, the one who shouted the two words "stop", was Ji Dong.
Seeing them appear, Xuanyuan Xin's furious gaze instantly became even more intense, and the gazes of the students in Class 1 also became heated.
They didn't die. They actually came back alive. The teachers and students in the hall couldn't help but be a bit stunned.
Ji Dong strode forward and arrived at the teachers' table. He stood next to Zi Chenxing, and after calmly sweeping his gaze over Xuanyuan Xin, he suddenly turned around and slapped Zi Chenxing across the face, causing him to stumble.
"Teacher Ji Dong, you …" The students in Class 1 were instantly shocked, and Zi Chenxing stared at Ji Dong in confusion. He never would have thought that Teacher Ji Dong, whom they had been looking forward to returning, would actually do such a thing as soon as he came back.
The other teachers couldn't help but be stunned, and a hint of a cold smile appeared at the corner of Xuanyuan Xin's mouth.
Ji Dong said calmly: "Zi Chenxing, apologize to Teacher Xuanyuan. You are a student of the academy, don't you know what it means to respect teachers?"
"I don't, I didn't do anything wrong. He doesn't deserve to be a teacher at all. Teacher Ji Dong, you and Sixuan weren't here, do you know how much we suffered? All the places in the Commendation Selection should belong to our Class 1. Do you know what he said about you? " Zi Chenxing's eyes were already a bit red, and tears welled up in his eyes. The gazes of the other students in Class 1 when they looked at Ji Dong also began to change. The teacher in their hearts, who was a hero in their hearts, actually scolded Zi Chenxing in front of all the first years. Their hearts gradually turned cold.
"Enough, I told you to apologize. Don't you understand?" As he spoke, Ji Dong snatched the wine cup from Zi Chenxing's other hand, and a powerful soul suppression suddenly burrowed into Zi Chenxing's mind.
Zi Chenxing subconsciously took a step back. No matter how unwilling he was, in the end, he still could not win against Ji Dong's powerful soul power. He slowly lowered his head and said: "Teacher Xuanyuan, I apologize to you." It was just a few simple words, but he seemed to have used up all the strength in his body. He had even bitten through his own lip, and drops of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
"Chen Sixuan, take them back to their seats," Ji Dong said coldly as if he did not see Zi Chenxing's pain.
Chen Sixuan took the initiative to pull Zi Chenxing's arm, nodded at the others, and said: "All of you, return to your seats with me. Teacher Ji Dong will take care of this."
If it was said that the students in Class 1 were only angry before, then now they were already a bit despairing. The teacher they respected in their hearts had actually done such a thing. How could their hearts not turn cold?
Under Chen Sixuan's lead, the students of Class 1 were like walking corpses as they returned to their seats.
Xuanyuan Xin snorted coldly, and said: "Teacher Ji Dong, you've taught a good disciple. I will definitely report this matter to the academy and punish Zi Chenxing severely."
Ji Dong swept a cold glance at him, and said: "How my students are punished is not up to you. Just now, I heard Teacher Xuanyuan say to Zi Chenxing that he does not have the right to toast you?"
"That's right." Xuanyuan Xin puffed out his chest proudly.
Ji Dong nodded, and said: "Then, do I have the right?"
He suddenly flung the wine cup he had snatched from Zi Chenxing, smashing it against Xuanyuan Xin's forehead with lightning speed. With a loud bang, Xuanyuan Xin's strong body was sent flying by this slap, and he fell heavily to the side. Wine and blood instantly dyed his face red.
