Chaotic Sword Emperor

Chapter 48 – The older students excited!

"Su Mu, bring the Purple Orchids, we're heading back to the Fifth Division!" Hua Lingfeng flicked his robe and left gracefully.

Su Mu shouldered his pack and followed. Huang Yiyun snorted at the first four divisions and skipped along behind Su Mu.

"That old fellow finally did something right," Guan Yifei and the other two women were very pleased with Hua Lingfeng's actions, their steps becoming lighter as they headed back.

Wei Zhuo stood there for a moment, staring at the Purple Orchids in his hand, his eyes gradually lighting up. He only needed three, which meant he could sell ten and earn six thousand silver coins and five credits!

Instantly, his bad mood from losing to Su Mu improved significantly. He quickly packed away the Purple Orchids and hurried to catch up with the others.

"Damn it!"

"Hua Lingfeng, this isn't over between us!"

The four deans' faces turned from green to purple with rage as they stormed off.

The older students watched Hua Lingfeng and Su Mu's departing figures with twisted expressions. If they couldn't buy the Purple Orchids this time, they'd never get to use them!

They couldn't wait another two years. The Purple Orchids were most effective in the Fate Palace Realm, and after surpassing the third level of the Transcendence Realm, their effect was negligible. In two years, they wouldn't need them anymore!

"Fifth Division, if you have it easy from now on, I'll take your surname!"

The older students left in anger, leaving only the new students and instructors from the first four divisions.

"Instructor, we don't have a single Purple Orchid. What do we do?"

"Instructor, the Fifth Division is really going to surpass us now!"

The severely injured new students wailed in despair. They were truly out of Purple Orchids.

"Shut up!" The instructors snapped, their faces dark with anger.

"Carry them to the dormitory!"

***

The Martial House had arranged separate dormitories for the five divisions. When Su Mu and the others arrived at their dormitory, they were stunned by the tall and spacious courtyard, complete with rock gardens and spring water.

"This is the dormitory? It's much bigger than I imagined!"

"The environment is amazing, it's like a dream come true!"

Hua Lingfeng couldn't help but smile at the new students' exclamations. He enjoyed seeing their astonished expressions.

Just as he was about to enter the dormitory, three shadows flashed before his eyes. He looked closely and saw Guan Yifei and the other two women rushing into the courtyard.

Hua Lingfeng was taken aback, then his face changed dramatically!

"No, those three girls are going to ruin everything!"

He hurried to stop them, but it was too late.

"All students below the mid-stage of the Transcendence Realm, come out! The dean is giving out Purple Orchids for free!"

Guan Yifei and the other two cupped their hands around their mouths and shouted into the courtyard. Hua Lingfeng rushed in, only to skid to a halt, nearly stumbling.

"What? The dean is giving out Purple Orchids?"

"No way, did I hear that right?"

"Oh my god, is this for real?"

"Has the dean finally grown a conscience?"

Lights flickered on in the surrounding dormitories, and students rushed out, some even in their underwear, leaning over the railings in disbelief.

"It's over... it's all over..." Hua Lingfeng watched the students, energized as if on steroids, and rolled his eyes in despair. His wallet was truly doomed.

Guan Yifei and the other two women saw his desperate look and smirked. They knew the dean's stingy nature well. For him to buy all of Su Mu's Purple Orchids was definitely suspicious.

"Old fellow, whatever scheme you had, it's useless now!" Guan Yifei looked at Hua Lingfeng triumphantly. The ten thousand silver coins and over a hundred credits were as good as gone!

"Mentor Guan, did you just say the dean is really giving us Purple Orchids for free?"

"Mentor Yuyue, did we hear that right?"

The older students rushed to Guan Yifei and the other two women, their faces full of disbelief.

"Of course, we won first place in the new student benefits, making the dean very happy. Naturally, he wants to reward everyone!"

"Isn't that right, Dean?" Guan Yifei smiled and looked at Hua Lingfeng. Hua Lingfeng could only pinch his nose and admit it, having been outsmarted by these three girls.

"What? We got first place?"

"Mentors, how is that possible?"

"It's the middle of the night, don't joke with us."

Hearing that the Fifth Division had won first place in new student benefits, the older students were even more shocked. They couldn't remember the Fifth Division ever winning first place.

"Would I lie to you? We owe it all to him!" Guan Yifei proudly announced, pointing to Su Mu.

"His name is Su Mu, the top new student this year. He comprehended Sword Intent at a young age and even killed a Transcendence Realm expert before coming here!"

"Hiss!"

The older students looked at Su Mu, gasping in shock.

"So young!"

"He's so powerful at such a young age, a true prodigy!"

"This time, our Fifth Division is going to rise!"

After their initial shock, the older students were filled with excitement and rushed towards Su Mu.

"Hello, junior, I'm Wang Renjie. You can call me Brother Jie."

"Junior, you're so powerful at such a young age. How do you train?"

"Junior, you're so handsome. Do you have a partner? How about your senior sister?"

Uh... Su Mu's expression stiffened at the enthusiastic seniors, especially as their questions grew more outrageous, even asking about his personal life.

Standing aside, Huang Yiyun's face darkened visibly.

"Alright, alright, save your enthusiasm for later. The Purple Orchids are all with Su Mu." Guan Yifei stepped in to help Su Mu out.

The older students backed off, looking at Su Mu with curiosity and awe, especially the female students, whose eyes burned with intensity, making Su Mu lower his head.

"Su Mu, take out the Purple Orchids and distribute them," Guan Yifei said with a smile. Su Mu untied his pack, kept three for himself, and handed the rest to Guan Yifei.

"Hiss, so many!" The older students gasped again at the sight of the full pack of Purple Orchids, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Quick!" Guan Yifei exchanged a glance with Tian Yuyue, and the three women swiftly divided the Purple Orchids into three parts and distributed them to the older students in need.

"Hey, hey!"

Hua Lingfeng watched in shock, his heart aching as if bleeding. That was eleven thousand silver coins, plus ten credits awarded to Su Mu, totaling 101.5 credits!

Just like that, they were gone.

"Thank you, mentors, thank you!"

The older students were ecstatic, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.

"Don't thank us, thank Su Mu and the dean!" Guan Yifei said cheerfully, not taking any credit.

"Thank you, junior, thank you, dean!"

The older students' grateful voices echoed, but Hua Lingfeng's heart ached more with each word.

"Mentor Guan, I have ten extra Purple Orchids," Wei Zhuo said with a bright smile, holding out the ten Purple Orchids. He could already see the six thousand silver coins and five credits beckoning him.

"Mentors, I have three extra Purple Orchids," Huang Yiyun also stepped forward with three Purple Orchids.

"Hmph!" Hua Lingfeng looked at the additional thirteen Purple Orchids, clutching his chest, nearly spitting out blood!
