After Yuelun said the Holy Orison, wanting to take in Fang Xingjian as his disciple, he looked at the hall which had erupted into an uproar, smiled and said, "I heard that Madam Hathaway is holding the Hundred Blossom Banquet, inviting all the genius students from the twelve academies in the Great Western Region. "Fang Xingjian has transitioned into a Windstorm Sword Hero and should be considered a genius from Kirst Royal Academy. That's why I'm here to look for him."
From afar, a lady who appeared elegant and mature, but whose face and figure were maintained like that of a young lady in her twenties, smiled and said, "The Hundred Blossom Banquet will naturally invite all the talents from the Great Western Region. It's to allow the elites of the Great Western Region to gather together and have a good exchange, and also to announce the contents of this year's Regional Selection."
Saying that, Hathaway looked toward the crowd and asked, "I wonder where Fang Xingjian is?" As she spoke, her lungs trembled, as if there were waves of vigorous energy vibrating the air, easily transmitting each of her words into everyone's ears.
Everyone quietened down, as if they wanted to see how a genius who could transition into a Windstorm Sword Hero and be highly regarded by a Divine level expert would look like.
Lilia was also agitated, her eyes darting around. She was excited that Fang Xingjian had been taken in as a disciple by a Divine level expert, but she was also looking forward to whether Fang Xingjian would come to this banquet.
This was her true motive for coming to the Hundred Blossom Banquet.
However, amidst the silence, no one stepped out. Hathaway called out again, but seeing that no one stepped out, she immediately frowned and asked directly, "Are there any people from Kirst Academy here today? Which one of you is from Kirst Academy? Please raise your hand. "
This time around, Edger could no longer pretend that he had not heard. He slowly raised his hand helplessly, and immediately saw countless fiery gazes looking toward him.
Hathaway looked at him and asked directly, "Who are you? Where's Headmaster Jackson? Is Fang Xingjian not here? "
Edger gulped. When had he ever been the center of attention of so many influential people in the Great Western City? He felt that under the countless gazes, his entire body felt a little weak.
Especially Hathaway's gaze. That was the Governor's wife! He replied nervously, "Headmaster Jackson has fallen ill and is recuperating in Kirst. I'm the Deputy Headmaster Edger, and I'm here to attend the banquet on behalf of Headmaster Jackson."
"That … Fang Xingjian …" At the mention of Fang Xingjian, his face flushed red, and he felt extremely awkward, unable to advance or retreat. He did not know what to say at all.
Was he supposed to say that Fang Xingjian was missing? Pushed away?
In front of all the aristocrats in the entire Great Western City, Kirst Royal Academy was labeled as incompetent, lacking in control, and lacking in teaching capabilities.
Hathaway asked impatiently, "What's going on? Don't you even know how to speak? "
Edgar hemmed and hawed, but he couldn't say a word.
Just as Edger was in a dilemma and Hathaway's gaze was getting colder and colder … Setques finally brought Fang Xingjian to the main hall. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Madam. There's been a misunderstanding, and that's why Young Master Fang Xingjian has come in."
In that instant, Setques attracted everyone's gazes. Everyone's gazes went past this steward and landed on Fatso, Valen, and Fang Xingjian, who were behind him.
Fatso and Valen did not seem to be related to the Windstorm Sword Hero. Moreover, as an official of the Great Western City, he was naturally recognized by many people present.
Hathaway smiled, looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "You're Fang Xingjian, Kirst City's Windstorm Sword Hero?"
Therefore, everyone's gazes gradually gathered on Fang Xingjian. Looking at this young man with disheveled hair and a dirty face, dressed in rags, and looking like a beggar, the aristocrats could not help but have expressions of ridicule, mockery, envy, or admiration. All sorts of emotions, along with jealousy, were directed towards Fang Xingjian.
"This is Fang Xingjian? Haha, I can't tell what's so special about him. "
"Where did this guy come from? He looks like a savage. He's not even comparable to me. What right does he have to become the disciple of a Divine level expert? "
"What do you know? It's obvious that he's just returned from tough training. It's true that behind every successful person, there are countless hardships and hard work."
If it was said that the others were only feeling jealous and envious, then David and Shadow Death God Andre's gazes were filled with jealousy and killing intent as they looked at Fang Xingjian. Becoming the disciple of a Divine level expert was something that would attract too much hatred.
However, what kind of person was Fang Xingjian? He was blind. Therefore, he acted as if he did not feel anything and looked straight in the direction of the lady who had spoken earlier, Hathaway.
Although he was unable to see beyond ten meters, he could still hear where the voice had come from.
He closed his eyes and looked at Hathaway, saying, "I'm Fang Xingjian."
Looking at Fang Xingjian's closed eyes, Hathaway said, "I heard that you were poisoned in the battle with Garcia's Destined Warrior. Have your eyes recovered yet?"
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "No."
Hathaway smiled and said, "But that's fine. You should remember this day. It's your lucky day."
Hearing that Fang Xingjian was blind, the jealousy and envy in everyone's eyes grew even stronger. Everyone knew that the Holy Orison was the only one among the ten Divine level experts in the Empire who specialized in healing.
Not only was he able to be taken in as his disciple, but he could also treat his eyes. How great of an honor was this?
Everyone looked at Fang Xingjian, wishing that they could replace him.
Edger's body trembled incessantly, as if he had been knocked out by waves of bombs. He was also excited and astonished that Fang Xingjian was about to be taken in as a disciple by a Divine level expert.
However, he also felt uneasy and afraid because he had not valued Fang Xingjian and had ostracized Fang Xingjian in the past.
These two emotions filled up his body at the same time, making him feel as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
When Fang Xingjian heard Hathaway's question, he felt a little puzzled. He was really puzzled because he did not know that the Divine level expert, the Holy Orison, was already planning to take him in as a disciple.
Seeing Fang Xingjian's puzzled expression, Hathaway turned and looked at Master Yuelun. However, she frowned slightly. It was because Master Yuelun's gaze was fixed on Fang Xingjian, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
It was only when Hathaway coughed softly that Master Yuelun regained his senses. However, his gaze when looking at Fang Xingjian was still a little strange.
'How is this possible … How is it possible that they are so alike?
'Is this a coincidence … or …'
At this moment, he suddenly had a terrifying conjecture about why his teacher had asked him to take in Fang Xingjian as his disciple.
However, he was a level 29 great expert after all. Therefore, there were no changes in his expression. He looked at Fang Xingjian with a benevolent expression and said, "Fang Xingjian, my teacher is the Holy Orison. After seeing your information, Teacher is very interested in your situation. I wonder if you're willing to follow Teacher and learn and cultivate on the Sacred Mountain?"
In that instant, everyone's gazes were focused on Fang Xingjian, waiting for his reply and waiting for this historic moment.
