0637: A slap in the face

The teacher said that the school fees are exempted, therefore, I don’t need to pay anything. It really saves a lot of money!” She tossed the jade card in her hand and walked past the old man while muttering at the same time. Her voice was neither loud nor low, but it was enough for the old man to hear clearly.

The old man gazed at the young man in red passing in front of him with his mouth wide open. He looked at him tossing the jade card while whispering. His heart thumped and his eyes darkened.

Did the young man really pass the exam? An elite student student? School fees were exempted? Was this true?

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he ran quickly to the examination room and came inside. When he saw the two teachers smiling with joy, he could only adjust his mood and saluted them respectfully.

“Sirs, the young man in red just now…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the two teachers came over, smiling and patting him on the shoulder. “Old Sun, you did a really good job today.”

Upon hearing this, the old man felt his forehead oozing cold sweats. He smiled lamely, “That… ”

“Excellent. Luckily, today you were outside recruiting students. If it were someone else, maybe he would not give any opportunities, seeing Feng Jiu from a ninth grade academy. But who knew, this child is very good! Not only is he remarkably talented, but he is also a clever, kind and honest. A genuine lovable child.”

The old man raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then he asked with a smile, “I seemed to hear him saying that he’s an elite student. Is it true?”

“Of course. It’s been a long time since our Alchemy Division met such a good seedling. Giving him an elite student school fee exemption to him, what’s the big deal? The more I look at the child, the more I like him. You have no idea. He is really familiar with the Grand Spirit Herbs Collection. He even understands drug properties and their effects as well as the mutual enhancement and inhibition between the five elements. He’s not simple, truly not simple, ah!”

“Mm, you’ve seen Feng Jiu. Follow up on his affairs more. As soon as all the enrollment matters today are concluded, take him personally to the Alchemist Division and find him a larger dwelling.”

“Yes, yes.” The old man wiped his sweat, assented, and then retreated.

When he came outside, he exhaled lightly. His heart was palpitating wildly. If he let the two teachers know that he had mocked the young man before…

He shivered just from the thought of it. Immediately, he took out a jade slip, called for another person as his replacement and went personally to look for the young man in red.

At this time, Feng Jiu went out of the academy’s gate after the examination. She led Old White into the academy. As she passed by the tree, she paused and looked in that direction. The man in white was no longer there.

She shook her head and wondered why she would stop and take another look. Maybe it was because the man had a truly pure aura!

When she arrived at the academy’s gate and was about to enter, the people guarding the gate stopped her.

“Students coming for the exam’s registration are not allowed to enter riding on a horse.”

Feng Jiu took out the jade card and raised it. “I’ve passed the exam, so I can take my horse inside.”

When the gatekeeper saw the jade card in her hand, he was surprised and looked at him strangely. Then he let her go.

“Feng Jiu, Feng Jiu, hey! I finally found you.” The old man came trotting breathlessly while calling out for Feng Jiu.

Seeing the old man, she lifted her eyebrows. “What’s the matter?” She really didn’t like this kind of a snobbish man.
