Upon hearing Qi He's words, Zhu Qing's face imdiately darkened.
Seeing this, Zhong Rong and Zheng Yu felt a surge of satisfaction, never expecting their master to make such a decision. It seed he was truly enraged!
Even Wu Rao was sowhat surprised; although Zhu Qing was not well-liked, his strength was undeniable.
If their master could recruit him, this year's admission would surely not be at the bottom.
There would be no need to advance to beco Elder Yiyang, but instead, the master risked being at the bottom by giving up on such a talent!
The onlookers from Binzhou University and others, after their initial shock, felt imnsely gratified.
"Damn it, I let you show off, and now look, your evaluation has been directly cancelled!" soone in the crowd muttered.
"Damn, that's so satisfying, absolutely thrilling, it's even better than a soul-stirring experience, haha! Cancelling the assessnt, that's badass!" another person exclaid gleefully.
"Fuck, let's see you acting tough now. You think you're so amazing you can reach the skies, but the instructor just nipped you in the bud, damn fantastic, the instructor is mighty!" yet another person laughed mockingly.
The crowd buzzed with low voices, with clapping and cheering all around!
At that mont, Zhong Rong and Zheng Yu also returned to Qi He's side, feeling extrely vindicated. Zhongnan's recruitnt happened once every three years; missing it once ant waiting for the next.

The academy would never make an exception to take you in mid-way, no matter how talented you were; Zhongnan Academy had never set such a precedent!
Qi Xiumin and the others stood to the side, unable to interject, just dumbly watching how the situation unfolded, as they had hoped to rely on Young Master Zhu and did not dare to mock him.
Chang Jun and the other two guys' faces were contorted with fury, extrely annoyed, staring hatefully at Qi He, not expecting this old man to pull such a move at the critical mont.
Zhu Qing, listening to the whispering and mocking from the people around him, felt a surge of anger in his heart.
His eyes swept over coldly, "Old man, I dare you to say that again!"
Zhu Qing, driven by rage, was genuinely furious, cornered, and he didn't mind teaching this old man a lesson, to let him know his strength!
Qi He's face turned icy at being called an old man; he was anything but pleased.
"How dare you! Apologize to my master imdiately!" Wu Rao shouted angrily.
Zhu Qing completely ignored Wu Rao's scolding and looked at Qi He with a cold huff, "As far as I'm aware, you've been first in enrollnt for several terms, known as the Elder of September, don't you wish to turn things around and beco Elder Yiyang this year?"
His family had done extensive research and understanding of Zhongnan Academy for this assessnt; they weren't unaware of Qi He's affairs, or else he wouldn't disrespect the recruitnt instructor rashly.
Really, Qi He didn't seem dignified in his eyes at all, refraining from teaching this old man a lesson was already giving him face.
Qi He, with his scars exposed, was imdiately furious; these were thorns in his heart and taboo, if it had been a joke in the academy, it might have been okay.
But today, to be humiliated by a candidate like this—how could he get over this hurdle in his heart!
Even Zhong Rong and Zheng Yu, who stood up, felt their faces burning hotly; they would have preferred not to have co out with their master, as today, they and their fellow disciples had made a spectacle of themselves.
The onlookers were confused, not understanding what Zhu Qing ant by "September" or "Elder Yiyang," but it was surely nothing honorable.
"So, will we let this guy be arrogant here today without anyone to deal with him?" The frustration and rage in the hearts of the people had reached a boiling point, their angry cosmos about to explode.
"Heh, what a coward, getting so worked up, and not having the guts to challenge . And yet you're a recruitnt instructor, you're nothing, you're even threatening , the Young Master!"
"I warn you, besides my own people, no trash from this school is allowed to enter Zhongnan. I have three under my command, making four with !"
"Additionally, that Zi Qiong, right? The one claid to be one of the four great beauties, bring her too. That makes eight spots in total. If you dare say 'no,' I will show you what for right now!" Zhu Qing huffed, taking an aggressive step forward, his eyes locking in a fierce confrontation with Qi He.
Qi He was so angry that his beard bristled and his fists cracked, but his reason told him that acting recklessly would only bring greater humiliation.
Just then, a coquettish voice ca from the silent crowd, "Young Master Zhu, I... I am also one of Young Master Wu's... people..."
Wu Cai heard this and imdiately shuddered. The young master was on the edge, and this probably wasn't good!
This woman had indeed promised him before, and considering the experience of the past few days, with her top-notch skills, it would be a sha not to bring her!
Seeing Zhu Qing look over, Wu Cai gave a sheepish laugh, "Young Master, I was only speaking off-the-cuff before, there was no certainty..."
"Fine, bring her along. We have enough quotas anyway," Zhu Qing said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiumin was extrely excited and thanked him repeatedly!
Not far away, Lei Ming, Zhao Yin, and Shen Li were green with envy and began to stir.
If they could serve under this person and enter Zhongnan Academy with him, it would be a fortuitous opportunity!
Lei Ming bit the bullet, thinking fortune favors the bold. Without trying, how would he know it's impossible?
He stepped out from the crowd, bowed down before Zhu Qing, "Young Master Zhu, would you consider taking in? My na is Lei Ming, and I am willing to follow and serve you!"
Lei Ming's actions suddenly stunned everyone, and they hadn't expected him to act so sycophantically at a critical mont.
Zhu Qing frowned. Did these lowlives of the Secular World think he was a garbage collector, wanting anything and everything? Damn it, he's not into n!
"Young Master Zhu, Xiumin and I know each other. We were in the sa Martial Arts Pavilion before. Xiumin, for the sake of our past acquaintanceship in the pavilion, please plead on my behalf..." Lei Ming lost face and brazenly said.
Qi Xiumin's expression changed slightly. She did want to bring a few people since everyone was acquainted, and who knew what the situation in Zhongnan would be like. It would be good to have so familiar faces to look after each other, wouldn't it?
However, Young Master Zhu's decisions were not hers to make, and even her own quota had been hard-earned through toil and... trading.
She had explained Lei Ming's situation to Wu Cai before, after all, given the incident with Zi Qiong, Wu Cai had naturally been curious and had asked about it.
"Boss, I understand this matter..." Wu Cai pondered for a mont and then gave Zhu Qing a brief explanation.
Zhu Qing nodded upon hearing this, "I see, no need for weaklings. How many decent followers do you still have?"
Shen Li and Zhao Yin, who were standing nearby, beca excited and just managed to hold back from speaking out, "There are two of us too!"
Zhu Qing looked at Lei Ming, "Are they any good?"
"They're competent, not bad at all!" Lei Ming nodded.
"Alright then, let's add a few more spots. Hey old man, include them in the count too!" Zhu Qing didn't even ask Qi He, but instead gave a direct order.
"We are grateful, Young Master Zhu. We will serve you diligently, ready to obey any command!" Lei Ming and the others bowed again, their excitent indescribable.
The onlookers watched in silent speechlessness. The tables had turned, Lei Ming and his group had risen to prominence!
