Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 920 921: The Emperor’s Gift

Is it really a broken... what? Imperial... imperial jade amulet? Th-this... thud... the Sect Leader's knees went weak, nearly kneeling on the ground. Oh my dear, how... how does he have an imperial jade amulet?

This... this joke, damn, has gone too far.

Young Master Xiao, just now... just now I was only kidding, can you not take it seriously?

Xiao Tianyu put away the jade amulet and said blandly, "I think it's better for me to leave the Outer Sect!"

Thud~

Hearing this, the Sect Leader staggered and fell to his knees, clutching Xiao Tianyu's leg: "Young Master Xiao, I-I was just speaking out of turn, please don't take it to heart, and... could you, as a noble, overlook the faults of us lesser people? Please don't tell the Celestial Emperor about this, otherwise... otherwise..."

"Sect Leader, those words don't sound like you were a moment ago!" Xiao Tianyu said with interest, "I am someone who doesn't even know to knock on the door, an unruly person!"

Gulp~

Hearing this, the Sect Leader swallowed, his body trembling, with regret gnawing at his insides—he regretted to his very core. What puzzled him further was why, with his connections, this guy possessing the jade amulet would come to the Outer Sect.

Thus, the Sect Leader grinned and said, "Young Master Xiao, saying that is too much, who says Young Master Xiao is unruly? I'll damn well find him to settle that..."

"Wasn't it you who said it?" Xiao Tianyu said calmly, and the calmer he was, the more fearful the Sect Leader became. If Xiao Tianyu were to punish him directly, it would be better, but this ambiguous attitude made him panic.

"Young Master Xiao, it's a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding!"

"Is that so?" Xiao Tianyu said blandly.

"..." Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader opened his mouth but was speechless. You could say that he no longer had the prestige he once did, reduced to waiting for Xiao Tianyu's punishment. After all, Xiao Tianyu possessed an item gifted by the Celestial Emperor.

"As long as you turn a blind eye in the future, let's consider this matter settled!" Xiao Tianyu said, not wanting to actually make things difficult for the Sect Leader.

"Yes, yes, yes..." The Sect Leader nodded repeatedly, "Even if Young Master Xiao dismantles the Outer Sect, I won't interfere!"

Who the hell am I to interfere? I'd even clap and commend the dismantling... commend the dismantling.

However, when the Sect Leader lifted his head, there was no trace of Xiao Tianyu left in the office.

Oh my dear, thank goodness I've sent this little ancestor away. Otherwise, I'd really be finished, and given he has an amulet gifted by the Celestial Emperor, why didn't he go to the core section and instead insists on pretending in the Outer Sect?

The minds of expert people are beyond our speculation.

Classroom of Class A.

While everyone was discussing Xiao Tianyu's expulsion, Xiao Tianyu suddenly opened the classroom door and walked in.

Whoosh whoosh~

Everyone's eyes turned, seeing Xiao Tianyu deep in thought, and they secretly wondered if this guy had come back to pack his things?

"Expelled too, how unlucky!" Fang Xinyu's beautiful eyes coldly regarded Xiao Tianyu. Not only was he ignorant, but he dared to compete for women with the two Princes, thinking he could live pleasantly?

"Xiao Tianyu!" At this moment, Liu Yan stepped forward and said, "What did the Sect Leader say?"

Apparently, Liu Yan was afraid Xiao Tianyu would be expelled. Although the Sect Leader promised her he wouldn't expel Xiao Tianyu, the Sect Leader was known to be quite unpredictable.

"Didn't say much!" Xiao Tianyu replied.

"Really?" Liu Yan was doubtful.

"He was just clinging to my leg, begging me not to leave, apologizing profusely, even said if I dismantled the Outer Sect, he'd applaud!" Xiao Tianyu said seriously, "Isn't this Sect Leader a lunatic?"

"..."

The whole classroom of disciples looked at Xiao Tianyu with disdain. Clinging to his leg, begging him not to leave, and profusely apologizing? Is this guy nuts?

And are you sure the Sect Leader said that?

Stubborn as a mule.

Even Liu Yan showed a peculiar expression: "Alright, return to your seat!"

"Alright!" Xiao Tianyu nodded.

As Xiao Tianyu just sat down, Long Haochen poked his back with a finger, whispering, "Boss, did the Sect Leader really hold your leg and admit fault?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Tianyu whispered back.

"You're not just bragging in front of the goddess instructor, are you? It's useless; the goddess instructor doesn't buy it," Long Haochen said.

"But she seems happy!" Xiao Tianyu replied.

"..." Long Haochen chose to stay silent; perhaps it really is so.

"Humph~ just a worthless piece!" Their deskmate, Fang Xinyu, snorted coldly, "Not being expelled is just luck!"

"What does it have to do with you?" Xiao Tianyu responded, "Someone like you, I wouldn't want even if given to me!"

Xiao Tianyu's voice was loud and clear, making the entire classroom fall into silence, each gaze shocked as they looked at Xiao Tianyu.

"He dares insult our goddess, don't hold me back, I'm going to challenge him!"

"Brother, are you insane? Even Lin Nan and Feng Hao aren't his match, and you still dare to challenge him? Are you courting death?"

Hearing this, that disciple fell silent.

At this moment, Fang Xinyu's expression was dark and uncertain: "Say that again, I dare you!"

"Even if I say it again, it's the same. Just because you fancy yourself a few notches prettier, does that make you superior? Women like you, apart from becoming prostitutes, are useless!" Xiao Tianyu's words were vicious.

It's hard to blame him; he has always hated the term 'worthless,' because back in the Xiao Family, he was branded as such and subsequently expelled from the family.

"You..."

"Silence!" Liu Yan tapped the table lightly, "The spring exam is in half a month. I hope you take it seriously, devote your time to cultivation. I hope each of you ranks in the top three to enter the Inner Sect for cultivation, which will also allow me to answer for you. Understood?"

Liu Yan continued, "Fang Xinyu, Yun Moran, Feng Hao, Lin Nan, in this class, your performances are the best, and you should work even harder!"

"Yes!" The four nodded slightly.

They are the top students of Class A and the most hopeful candidates for this year's spring exam. Liu Yan did not want them to fail.

Liu Yan went on, "This year's spring exam is different from previous years; members of the Inner Sect will personally oversee it. Plus, there are outstanding individuals in both B and C Classes, and there are only a few spots available. If these spots are taken by the other classes, then your years of hard work would be wasted, understood?"

Liu Yan's voice resonated, and no one in the classroom dared to speak up.

After a while, Fang Xinyu said, "Instructor, rest assured, Class A will always be the best!"

"Good!" Liu Yan nodded, "We won't have class today; study on your own!"

With that, Liu Yan's eyes landed on Xiao Tianyu, "Xiao Tianyu, come with me!"
