Chapter 142: Interest in Inquiring
As soon as the elderly man in black finished speaking, a lean elderly man with silver hair walked out of the rockery.
“You two old men sure have the mood to drink wine and admire the moon.” The lean elderly man walked to the stone chair and sat down. He picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass without being polite.
The elderly man in white glared at him, his gaze more guarded, “What’re you doing here?”
This old thing wasn’t a good thing. Several geniuses that were finally born in their Royal Academy were poached by this old thing in advance.
The lean elderly man took a sip of the wine from the cup, then furrowed his brows, “The quality of this wine is really bad, to think you can even drink it.”
The elderly man in white snatched the wine cup from him and said, “Don’t drink it if it’s not of good quality! Our temple here is small and can’t accommodate a big Buddha like you, so please leave.”
“What’re you nervous about?” The lean elderly man half-smiled and looked along the road outside the courtyard where Yu Qing Qian had disappeared, “What’s so special about that little girl? You two are rarely so amicable to someone.”
The elderly man in white immediately exploded, “I’m warning you, damned old man, don’t you target her.”
He had finally discovered such a talented and hard-working girl, she better not be kidnapped just like this.
The elderly man in black had a look of helplessness on his cold face. His younger brother was just too impatient—wasn’t he precisely acting ‘as if there were no three hundred taels of silver right here1’?
“Haha, to have you old thing pay attention to this precious student, this old man must properly pay attention to her.” There was a glint in the lean elderly man’s slightly cloudy eyes.
The two old things from the Plant Inscription Department of the Southern Royal Academy were best at finding students with potential, and that girl made him a little more interested in inquiring about.
“Stuff your paying attention, get out of here.” The elderly man in white snorted coldly, looking like he wanted him to just get lost.
The elderly man in black said faintly: “You don’t come for no reason, why are you here this time?”
The lean elderly man snatched the wine cup from the elderly man in white with a smile and continued to pour wine, “Of course I came here for Feng Chen.”
“Didn’t you dislike the poor quality of this wine? What’re you still drinking it for.” The elderly man in white would become angry whenever he saw this old thing.
“‘Observe the customs of the place’, I can only make do with it.” The lean elderly man didn’t care about the bad attitude of the elderly man in white.
“You just said you came here for Feng Chen, what do you want to do?” The elderly man in white looked wary.
The lean elderly man said calmly: “That kid’s been admitted to our Holy Academy under a special exemption already. He didn’t rush to go report and join the academy to cultivate and is still lingering here at the Royal Academy, I came here this time to see just what’s going on.”
“That’s because that stinky boy Feng Chen has vision. He wants to stay for two more years, what’s it got to do with you.” The elderly man in white glared at him fiercely again, “The Holy Academy has made a special exception for early admission, but it doesn’t stipulate that they must go there to cultivate before you’re eighteen years old.”
“You should both know that for someone as monstrously talented as Feng Chen, only the Holy Academy is the most suitable place for him.” The lean elderly man glanced at the elderly man in white, “The Royal Academy will only waste his potential and time.”
“You decrepit old thing, are you looking down on our Royal Academy? Just watch how lao’zi beats you to death today.” The elderly man in white rolled up his sleeves, wanting to fight. He had long found this old thing unpleasant to look at.
The lean elderly man chuckled: “I’m not bothered to waste time with you.”
A faint pressure spread from his body, and time and space around him felt as if it had frozen.
The expression of the elderly man in white changed, “You broke through again?”
