Five or six meters away, a young man looked at him with his arms crossed and a smile on his face. Hearing this, he smiled and said, “It has nothing to do with me, but… I like to watch the show!”
“Shut up if there is nothing to do with you!”
Bai Feng couldn’t be bothered with him and turned to look at the girl. “Have you registered?”
‘All right, Assistant Bai.’
“Bai Feng!”
Seeing that Bai Feng was ignoring him, Liu Hong asked again, “Are you really taking in new students?”
“None of your business!”
Bai Feng was about to leave when Liu Hong frowned and said, “It has nothing to do with me, but Bai Feng, have you thought about how many people will be dissatisfied with you accepting this new student this year?”
Bai Feng frowned at him.
“Last year, my brother wanted to enter your tutelage, but you weren’t willing to accept him. Fine. You’ve never accepted him. Or accepted a few geniuses with superior evaluations. I have no objections. That’s my brother trash.”
“But this year, you accepted someone with a lower-middle score. Bai Feng, tell me yourself, how did my brother react when he found out? How did my family react when they found out?”
Bai Feng sneered and said disdainfully, “None of my business!”
“Bai Feng, you’re right. It has nothing to do with you.” Liu Hong said seriously, “I don’t care. As for my family, it doesn’t matter whether I care or not. But my brother wasn’t the only one who wanted to become your disciple. There were many others.”
“You’re not even willing to accept top-notch genius students.”
“What do you expect them to think when you suddenly accept a lower-middle student this year?”
“It has nothing to do with you, but have you considered that you’re attracting hatred for this new student? Others will think, why didn’t you accept them, but instead accepted a mediocre student? Are they inferior to him? Or what?”
Bai Feng said coldly, “So what?”
“Not much. You’ll have no problem taking him in. You’ve still got one slot. One person would draw too much attention. How about you take another?”
“Your brother?”
“Not really. He’s already under Researcher Hu’s tutelage. She’s Wu Qi’s younger sister. She’s quite good on the mark. You weren’t in the mood to take in students before, so Wu Qi and I didn’t ask you for one. Since you’re in the mood this year, it’s fine if you bring one or two. What do you think?”
“I think … f*ck off!”
Bai Feng looked impatient. “So what if she’s high school! So what if she’s Wu Qi? So what if she’s his sister? I’ll take in whoever I want!”
“As for the trouble… look for it if you want!”
“As long as you don’t kill or cripple them, you can suppress them however you want!”
Bai Feng didn’t mind and looked down on him. Suppress?
If you have the ability, go and suppress them!
“It’s none of your business that I’m taking in students! Hurry up and get lost. Liu Hong, don’t try to get close to me. Don’t do this to me! These words aren’t only for you. There’s also Wu Qi and the others. Take whoever you want. If you think about me again, I won’t be polite to you!”
Bai Feng’s voice was not soft. He originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now that Liu Hong was causing trouble, many people noticed him.
Bai Feng did not hesitate and said loudly, “It’s my freedom to take in whoever I want as a student! I just want to take in a cripple as a student. If he can get in, I’ll dare to take him in! Why? Do you still want to dominate me, Bai Feng?”
“Don’t play those useless games with me!”
After saying that, Bai Feng left. The hall was silent for a moment before someone started discussing softly.
“Bai Feng is recruiting students?”
“What’s this guy thinking? Many people approached him two years ago, but he turned them all down. Why is he suddenly thinking about it this year?”
“I heard that Liu Wenyan recommended him…”
“Liu Wenyan has recommended it a lot before, but I don’t see him accepting it.”
“I’m not sure, but… if word gets out about Bai Feng today, there will definitely be some trouble waiting for him. There are many people watching Elder Hong.”
“Not only Elder Hong, but those little fellows are also eyeing Bai Feng. In the battle for the spot in three years… Bai Feng will definitely fight for it. There’s also the matter of the researcher becoming an official position. The spot is limited, so he will also fight for it.”
An old man smiled and said, “What has this kid been up to recently? There are so many people who are interested in him. Tell me, how can they not be concerned about him suddenly recruiting students? Besides, Elder Hong has a lot of trump cards. Who wouldn’t be jealous?”
“That’s true.”
Someone chuckled and said, “But that’s good too. It’s not good to watch the show. The academy is too quiet. The competition for the spots seven years ago caused a lot of trouble. I thought it would take at least a year or two before we could watch the show. Now it seems that we can watch the show in advance.”
“The Great Xia Prefecture only has a total of 20 spots. Our academy doesn’t have many. There are about five or six. Bai Feng is quite competitive. It depends on whether he can hold on.”
“He’s at the seventh level of the Soaring Realm. No big problem.”
“It’s hard to say. Who can be sure about this thing? Besides, those little guys are not to be trifled with now. I think this batch might be even more intense.”
“…”
Bai Feng had already left the hall as everyone discussed on.
In the hall, Liu Hong watched him leave without saying anything. After pondering for a moment, he went to the window to ask for Su Yu’s information.
…
A moment later, Liu Hong entered a small villa in the residential area.
“Wu Qi, Bai Feng is recruiting students this year.”
In the living room, a young woman was outlining a divine rune with a pen. “So what if he recruits? It has nothing to do with me.” She said without looking up.
“It’s a student with a lower-middle score. I recommended your sister. Bai Feng told me to… f*ck off.”
Liu Hong said softly, “This guy is much more arrogant now that he has reached the Seventh Level.”
