75: Chapter 75 The Woman in White
The woman who suddenly spoke up had been sitting on the third floor of the tea house all along.
Dressed in white, with a veil covering her face, her every move exuded noble elegance, suggesting a high-born status.
When Chu Fengmian returned to the third floor of the tea house, the woman suddenly said,
“Oh?
What trouble?”
Chu Fengmian asked.
It seed that this woman not only knew who Cheng Qin was but also understood sothing about the Martial Artist Academy’s examination.
Since she was willing to speak, Chu Fengmian naturally listened.
“The examination at the Martial Artist Academy tomorrow, among the three examiners, one is from the Cheng family.”
The woman spoke calmly.
“After what happened today, the Cheng family will surely retaliate.
During tomorrow’s exam, they will certainly sche.
If you wish to pass, it’s almost an impossible task.”
The examination of the Martial Artist Academy had always been supervised by three examiners.
Now, one of the examiners was from the Cheng family, and after today’s event, would undoubtedly target Chu Fengmian.
The other two examiners, also from the Martial Artist Academy, certainly wouldn’t want to offend the Cheng family either.
Thus, it seed nearly impossible for Chu Fengmian to pass the examination.
“If you are willing, you can co with
to attend the examination tomorrow.
I can assure you, those people from the Cheng family would not dare to play dirty tricks on you, how about it?”
The woman said indifferently, with a hint of an offer to help in her words.
“Oh?
Many thanks for your kind words, Miss.”
Chu Fengmian glanced at the woman, his lips curving into a self-assured smile as he spoke.
“However, I, Chu, have never been one to accept help from strangers, let alone from a woman.”
“For tomorrow’s exam, I have my own ways to deal with it, so you needn’t trouble yourself, Miss.”
Chu Fengmian laughed as he spoke.
He was well aware of the woman’s intent to help, but Chu Fengmian certainly wasn’t so down on his luck that he needed assistance from a woman.
“Young man!
Do you know who my Miss is?
She offers her help kindly, and yet you dare to refuse?”
A servant behind the woman shouted angrily.
The identity of this woman was highly prestigious.
There were few in Jijing City who would dare to refuse her.
Now, kindly offering to help Chu Fengmian, she had been outright rejected by him.
“Qing’er, do not talk too much.”
The woman spoke, silencing the servant.
She looked at Chu Fengmian, her eyes revealing a hint of an unusual expression.
It seed that even she did not expect her offer to be refused.
In Jijing City, the young masters of the major families were always submissive to her.
Now, soone was unappreciative of her proactive aid, which was indeed quite peculiar.
“If you encounter any troubles, you can find
through the Jade Talisman.”
The woman spoke softly and then left a Jade Talisman on Chu Fengmian’s table before leaving with her servant.
“What an odd woman, though she ant well offering her help.”
Chu Fengmian watched the woman leave and chuckled to himself.
The Martial Artist Academy’s exam being rigged?
Chu Fengmian was eager to see just what sort of tricks they had up their sleeves.
“Let’s go, I should get so rest.
We’ll see what this Martial Artist Academy’s exam is all about tomorrow.”
Chu Fengmian stood up, muttering to himself, and prepared to leave.
He had just walked two steps out when he suddenly turned around, picked up the Jade Talisman from the table, put it in his storage bag, and then finally departed.
anwhile, the woman and her servant had already walked quite a distance away.
“Your Highness, why would you want to help that kid?
He cos across as an arrogant and proud sort.
It would be better to let the Cheng family teach him a lesson.”
The servant nad Qing’er complained dissatisfiedly on the side.
She was still bothered by the fact that Chu Fengmian had rejected the woman’s help.
For soone of the woman’s status to be refused, it would be a huge joke if word got out.
“Qing’er, don’t say anymore.
That gentleman has offended Cheng Qin; without our help, I fear it would be difficult for him to join the ranks of the Martial Artist Academy.”
“I can’t bear to see a talent ruined by the hands of the Cheng family.”
The woman sighed.
Having offended the Cheng family nearly ant Chu Fengmian’s certain failure in the examination.
The Cheng family would never allow Chu Fengmian to enter the Martial Artist Academy.
After today’s incident, which happened in front of everyone, letting Chu Fengmian into the Martial Artist Academy would be a loss of face for them.
“Hmph, let the kid be ruined.
Your Highness already gave him a chance.
It’s his own fault for not valuing it; you can’t bla yourself.”
Qing’er spoke up.
“When that kid suffers tomorrow, he will naturally understand Your Highness’s kindness.”
“Yes, if there’s a chance tomorrow, we should still help him a bit.”
A trace of worry showed in the woman’s eyes.
“After all, if such a talent could be won over, it would be a good thing for .”
As they conversed, the two disappeared into the crowd.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Chu Feng rose early.
He did not ride the Black Scale Horse King but left it at the tea house and went alone to the designated eting point.
In front of the stone platform, thousands of young Martial Artists had already gathered.
These were the Martial Artists who ca to take part in today’s Martial Artist Academy examination.
The Martial Artist Academy’s exam was open to Martial Artists under the age of thirty.
Naturally, every year tens of thousands of Martial Artists ca to try their luck.
The white-dressed woman whom Chu Fengmian t yesterday was also among the crowd.
To his surprise, the servant nad Qing’er was now standing in the line of Martial Artists taking the exam as well.
She, too, had co to participate in the Martial Artist Academy exam.
Besides that, Chu Fengmian scanned the assembled Martial Artists.
Most of them were above the seventh layer of the Bone Condensation Realm, as, without reaching the seventh layer of the Bone Condensation Realm, there was virtually no chance of passing the exam.
Those who had reached the Body Forging Realm were even rarer.
Chu Fengmian looked over and saw no more than a dozen or so.
The strength of the white-dressed woman he had encountered yesterday also reached the Body Forging Realm, although she seed to be hiding her true strength.
Chu Fengmian could only tell that she had reached the Body Forging Realm, but her exact abilities were still unknown.
While people conversed and waited, an hour later, after ten thousand Martial Artists had gathered around the stone platform, several people in blue robes finally descended slowly onto the platform.
“This year’s Martial Artist Academy examination, like in previous years, is open to anyone under thirty.
Please board the square boat, and you will be led to the examination site by the boat.”
