Forsaken Immortals-Chapter 253 - Annoying The Teacher
Chapter 253 - Annoying The Teacher
The three young men, Xu Liangwei, Wang Qinghai, and Chen Qiang, were taken by surprise. All the worries they had after hearing her offer were explained in detail by Bai Rouyun, and they understood that it was likely to be a sincere invitation.
The three of them had some friendship as their mentality and intelligence was quite equal, so when they figured the pros and cons from the offer, they glanced at one another to examine the other's expressions.
If they were equally excited, then it would be even more suitable for them to join. In fact, as long as the oath only contained the requirement of not betraying the Eternal Shadow Palace, they would lose nothing.
If they did not join the faction, they could naturally not betray them, as they would not belong to that faction, but if they did join, they had no doubt that with their tenacity and willpower, they would be able to stand out and show off their prowess.
The three of them had long looked for an opportunity to step towards a greater stage, but they had not been given the chance, as their background and conditions were truly too lacking.
Now that Bai Rouyun gave them such preferential benefits, they would be stupid to decline. If she had not asked for anything in return, they would have declined due to their lack of trust, but since she asked for them to be loyal towards the Eternal Shadow Palace, they felt that she sincerely wished to draw them into her faction.
As for her reasons for doing this, they did not know. It could be to build her own power within the faction and not be bullied easily, but it could also simply be because she wished for the faction to expand and grow.
No matter what the reasons were, the three young men had made their decision.
"I would be honored to join the Eternal Shadow Palace." The first one who spoke was Wang Qinghai. He had quickly grasped the chance, and was not willing to let it pass through his hands.
Xu Liangwei and Chen Qiang were also quick to say their decision, and their eagerness made Bai Rouyun smile. She had not misjudged the three of them.
"Well then, you will follow Dongfang Yu after class, and he will bring you to one of the Elders that control the Eternal Shadow Palace. He will discuss in detail with you what benefits you gain, and what responsibilities you will hold."
Bai Rouyun could naturally not go into details in a public space like this. Although it was now known to others that she was recruiting these young men, she did this with a purpose.
She planned on spreading the word that she was recruiting talents to join their faction, and even those with families could consider joining.
Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun were very different. Li Moyun had not even considered taking in these experts, but Bai Rouyun knew that there were many diamonds in the rough that had been left behind, and that could be polished into true powerhouses.
Although they might have had very ordinary backgrounds and families, this should not stop the Eternal Shadow Palace from recruiting and enhancing their strength.
She was also completely confident that Li Moyun would never blame her for her decision, nor would he be against her choice. Both of them worked for the greater good of the Eternal Shadow Palace and their future.
As the decisions had been made, and the talks had ended, the students within the class could not help but glance at the three young men whom had been offered such a great future.
The jealousy and hatred was overflowing in the eyes of many of these students, but they dared not say anything as they had understood that Bai Rouyun was not easy to control.
While a group of students felt excited and happy, and the other was busy wallowing in hatred and jealousy, the teacher was standing at the podium with a green face full of anger.
He had to admit that this was the most frustrating lecture he had ever given. Not only had he become jealous towards Bai Rouyun and Dongfang Yu due to their luck with joining the tournament, he was also verbally attacked by Bai Rouyun, and now every student within the class completely ignored him due to a decision made by that woman.
If he did not know better, he would have assumed that the woman had something against him, and that she truly hated him.
She had managed to completely destroy his prestige as a teacher, and make him turn into a mere background figure whom the other students also disregarded. How was he supposed to show his face in the future?
Bai Rouyun did not like the teacher that much, but she had not initially planned on causing trouble during his lecture. Her decision had changed when he confronted her without much reason, and she felt annoyed. Hence, she picked this exact time to publicly invite new talents to join the Eternal Shadow Palace.
A small smile played on her lips, as she once more moved her gaze outside the window. She had to admit that while she had no actual hatred for the teacher, she felt quite happy when she looked at his angry and twisted expression at the podium.
The rest of the class was unable to see her smug and somewhat amused expression, but Jiang Wei, who was seated in the tree outside the window noticed the naughty smile on her face.
However, unlike the teacher who found her extremely frustrating, his eyes were full of mirth as he snickered.
