"Your Highness, as you see, my invitation was to no avail!"
Ye Fan’s face was full of bitterness.
Biluo said coldly, "Ye Fan, whether to invite them is your responsibility, whether they accept or not is their choice. Their refusal is not a reason for your non-invitation! I thought you would understand this better than I do!"
"Enough, Ye Fan, no need to explain."
Biluo’s face was full of disappointnt.
"If I hadn’t witnessed it myself, I wouldn’t dare imagine that our academy’s recruitnt officer would neglect his duties to such an extent!"
"No wonder the king had to co in person! Has the upper echelon of our academy decayed to such a state?"
"Regarding today’s matter, I will report truthfully to the king and the Palace Master!"
"Ye Fan, you are currently guilty of neglecting duties, killing potential talent, and suspected treason! Consider carefully how you will explain this to my father."
"Hmph!"
Biluo huffed coldly, his cloak billowing as he soared into the sky, quickly disappearing from everyone’s view.
Seeing such a scene, as the Crown Prince, I couldn’t bear to stay any longer!
"Your Highness, please hear out..."
Watching Biluo’s disappearing figure, Ye Fan’s face was imnsely bitter, his words halting halfway.
Having fought hard for the task of recruiting students, he thought he could demonstrate his talent recognition ability.
Yet unexpectedly, he was accused by the Crown Prince of three charges.
Any one of these charges would be harsh enough.
He looked towards Chi Shen, who at this mont was vibrant and triumphant!
While he was utterly disheveled.
Chi Shen recruited six talented students for his academy, while he only managed to recruit two.
This was the first ti his academy got outperford in talent recruitnt!
He knew that upon returning, regardless of those three charges, just bringing back two talented students alone would likely result in punishnt from the Palace Master.
As for rewards, he couldn’t even think about that.
Biluo left with a sweep of his sleeve, and Ye Fan was utterly distraught, while Chi Shen unhesitatingly took over the task of hosting.
"All participants accepted by our academies, if you have decided, please recognize the Jade Token with your blood?"
Chi Shen smiled.
"Yes."
Ling Chen and the others imdiately responded.
Soon, everyone recognized their Jade Tokens and finally beca students of either academy.
"Alright."
Chi Shen was quite satisfied, smiling upon their faces, "Rember, try to report to the Academic Palace in the Royal Capital within a month."
"Understood."
Ling Chen and others hastily replied.
"Congratulations to you all!"
Chi Shen smiled.
Then, Ling Chen and others returned to the observation platforms of their respective academies.
Chi Shen looked towards the students of the academies and said with a smile, "To those who were not selected, do not be discouraged, there will be another recruitnt examination in the Royal Capital in two months. As long as you pass, you can also join either academy!"
"Thank you, Lord Chi, for the guidance!"
The students bowed respectfully.
"No need to be so formal, everyone be sure not to miss the ti for the examination, you must arrive in the Royal Capital within two months. As the Elder here, I congratulate you in advance on your success!"
Chi Shen laughed loudly.
"Thank you for your auspicious words."
Many students responded with a smile.
Chi Shen nodded, looking at Xu Qing, "Palace Master Xu, do you have any further instructions? If not, please announce the conclusion of the Eight Palaces Tournant?"
"Alright!"
Xu Qing nodded.
Then, with a jump, he soared into the heavens, his voice resonating throughout the area, "I declare, this session of the Eight Palaces Tournant has successfully concluded, thank you all for attending!"
Along with his voice, the Eight Palaces Tournant finally ca to an end!
People reluctantly began to leave.
"Qin Shi, organize a gathering tonight for our academy’s students."
Chi Shen instructed Qin Shi.
He was more familiar with Qin Shi, so he tasked him with organizing the gathering.
It was a tradition of his academy.
After all, these individuals, having competed in the Eight Palaces Tournant, needed to get to know each other a bit, to better assist each other upon entering the academy later on.
Though both academies are the dream for countless people, once you enter, you realize.
Sotis, the gap between dreams and reality is quite substantial.
The most outstanding talents from Great Xia gathered there, and the level of competition can be imagined.
"Don’t worry, Elder."
Qin Shi imdiately replied.
"Okay, set the ti and place, and let everyone know!"
Chi Shen smiled.
Having said that, he returned to the main observation platform.
At this mont.
"Palace Master Mo, congratulations! Your academy had three students selected for the Star Command Academy, setting a new record!"
Li Xuan said with a smile.
"Palace Master Li, you’re joking."
Mo Han responded, "Your academy also had two students selected, didn’t it?"
"Where can my Xuantian Academy compare to your True Martial Academy? In the future, we must exchange more!"
Li Xuan said.
"Nothing would please more!"
Mo Han laughed.
"Alright, you two don’t be modest!"
It was only Palace Master Xu of the Taiyi Academy who could chi in as well, as Lin Fuyao of their academy joined the Wangxing Academy.
"Everyone, let’s gather tonight. True Martial Academy has won the championship, how can we let Palace Master Mo off the hook?"
Xu Qing said.
Mo Han responded, "Palace Master Xu, what are you saying? You are the host, do you expect , a guest, to spend money on this gathering?"
Several palace masters laughed.
Just then, Chi Shen walked over.
"Lord Chi!"
All eight palace masters imdiately greeted him with respect.
"No need for formalities!"
Chi Shen smiled, "Palace Masters, stay here for a few days. Once we have finalized the rewards, soone will deliver them to you."
They were having a rry conversation, but Ye Fan appeared very desolate and quickly returned to the inn where he was staying.
"Alright, continue chatting, I have so business to attend to and will take my leave first!"
Chi Shen said to everyone.
"Lord Chi, take care."
The palace masters spoke one after another.
"Mm."
Chi Shen nodded and then headed towards Taiyi Mansion.
However, he returned shortly after.
"Palace Master Cheng, please co with ."
Chi Shen spoke to the palace master of Netherworld Academy.
"Yes, Sir!"
Cheng Yuan replied respectfully.
He then left with Chi Shen.
Soon, Cheng Yuan returned with a sowhat uneasy expression and looked at Mo Han strangely.
Mo Han felt it too, but didn’t make much of it.
During this ti, the looks from various palace masters were sowhat weird, and he had already gotten used to it.
...
Night fell.
Feixian Restaurant was one of the most famous restaurants in Taiyi City.
Inside a luxurious private room on the third floor.
Seven cultivators were seated.
They were Chi Shen and his party.
"First of all, welco to joining the Star Command Academy!"
Chi Shen looked at Ling Chen and his group.
"Thank you, Elder Chi!"
Ling Chen and his group hurriedly expressed their thanks.
"Don’t ntion it. Everyone feel free to order. Eat and drink freely; don’t save money on my behalf; let’s eat while we talk."
Chi Shen was quite generous.
He was genuinely happy.
It was his first ti in charge of recruitnt, and yet six students had joined the Star Command Academy, even breaking the historical record.
"Great! Since the elder has spoken, if we don’t order more, we might not do justice to Elder Chi’s status."
Qin Shi said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Ling Chen nodded, "Then I’ll take the liberty."
"Young Master Ling, here’s the nu!"
Qin Shi passed it over.
Ling Chen waved his hand grandly, "No need."
"Brother, have you been here before?"
Ling Wu asked curiously.
"No!"
Ling Chen shook his head.
Ling Wu was even more curious, "Then how will you order without the nu?"
Ling Chen smiled proudly, "Since we are not spending our own money, what’s there to worry about? Co on, order one of each dish from the nu."
