230: Chapter 223 Unexpectedly 230: Chapter 223 Unexpectedly “Damn it, every Tom, Dick, and Harry is being compared to Young Master Su Chen now, is there even a comparison?” Mu Ziling, Leng Mang, and others seated at the same table cursed under their breath with ugly expressions on their faces.
The others’ faces were also very unsightly.
Even Hou Li, known for his bad temper, felt the urge to take action.
“Hou Li, hold back for now, temporarily, Su Chen hasn’t joined us yet, we must remain low-key, cautious, and patient.
Everything can wait until Su Chen returns!” Mu Ziling whispered.
She was very rational; Chengfeng University’s overall strength indeed paled compared to the students from the various universities in Anwu City.
Take Anwu Finance University, for instance, all ten slots were filled with students at the early, middle stages of the Mysterious Qi Internal Strength Realm, with He Jin even infinitely close to becoming a Half-Step Xuanqi Grandmaster.
In such a situation, should a conflict arise, it would certainly be their side at a disadvantage.
“I know!” Hou Li took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
At the same table, Yun Jinning glanced at Mu Ziling with some admiration.
This girl was not only beautiful but also smart, no wonder she was one of Su Chen’s close female friends.
Suddenly, Yun Jinning felt a hint of envy; after all, Mu Ziling was Su Chen’s woman!
And Su Chen held her in contempt.
Thinking about it, she felt lost and irritated.
At the same second, Huang Guochun, stroking his beard, scornfully laughed and said, “Old Yu, have you now witnessed what a true genius is?
I’m not afraid to tell you, in this year’s New Student Ranking Contest, He Jin is aiming for the top thirty!”
After Huang Guochun finished speaking, all the Martial Cultivation Instructors, except Yu Jianbo, showed a slight change in expression…
Each year, there are one thousand new students.
Out of these thousand, nine hundred forty are from the Martial Arts World and the Hidden Families.
The Secular World accounts for only a few dozen, a small part indeed.
And in each batch, the students from the Secular World typically fill the bottom ranks of the Ranking Contest.
After all, in terms of martial arts cultivation, the Secular World, the Martial Arts World, and the Hidden Families, the difference isn’t just ten grades apart; they’re completely on different levels.
In the past, the best a newcomer from the Secular World could achieve was a rank of about one hundred.
Entering the top thirty?
That was indeed a boastful, extravagant claim…
However, He Jin was indeed outstanding, and since Huang Guochun dared to make such a bold statement, he surely had a certain degree of confidence and assurance, it wasn’t entirely a shot in the dark.
Involuntarily, the other Martial Cultivation Instructors all picked up their wine cups, “Old Huang, congratulations!”
“Hahaha, shared joy!” Huang Guochun laughed heartily, also lifting his cup and draining it in one gulp, his eyes fixated on Yu Jianbo, “Old Yu, why so silent?
In Huang Guochun’s opinion, it would be strange if Yu Jianbo were in a good mood.
“I’m in very good spirits!” Yu Jianbo responded without much expression, feeling somewhat disdainful inside.
A top one hundred ranking for new students?
If Su Chen could join with them in time for the New Student Ranking Contest, placing in the top ten or even top five would be no problem, so what’s the big deal about the top thirty?
“Glad to hear you’re feeling well!” Huang Guochun took Yu Jianbo’s reticence for suppressed anger and frustration, feeling even more joyful.
He cheerfully continued, “He Jin, it will take another two or three days to reach Taixuan Academy.
If you have the time, why not give some guidance to a few young folks from Chengfeng University?
They all come from the Secular World, help them if you can.”
Hearing this, the faces of Leng Mang, Wan Jun, and others nearby had already turned so sour they could drip!
The word “guide” was especially grating to their ears.
Who the hell was He Jin?
What right did he have?
They already had Young Master Su Chen’s guidance, which was more than enough.
However, angry as they were, they could only endure it.
Engaging at this time would surely lead to a disadvantage!
The words Su Chen left them with still rang clear in their ears.
“Old Huang, my time is precious, I don’t want to waste it on some trash!” The next moment, He Jin spoke seriously, his voice neither loud nor soft, but loud enough for everyone present to hear. Googlᴇ search novel·fıre·net
He Jin had refused!!!
“Ah, indeed…” Huang Guochun was taken aback, and then, somewhat awkwardly, nodded his head.
At his side, Yu Jianbo’s face had already darkened as he held his wine cup without uttering a word, smoldering with frustration.
Despite the fact that this year’s new student recruitment at Chengfeng University was the highest in quality, with a Su Chen who was worth more than everything else, the unfortunate part was that Su Chen was currently absent.
He really wanted to say a few words about how amazing Su Chen was, he even wanted to declare that Su Chen was the fiancé of the young mistress of the Wenren household.
But the thing was, even if he said it, it would be useless!
It would just be adding ridicule!
No one would believe it!
It was like when he was at Chengfeng University, before Su Chen had made a move.
Back then, did he believe all the praise President Li Zhengshou laid on Su Chen?
Yu Jianbo simply chose not to speak.
He held his breath, praying for Su Chen’s early return!!!
“Damn it!” Hou Li slammed his cup down on the table, unable to contain his fury.
This was too much to bear.
Wan Jun, Leng Mang, Zheng Bu and others also had flickering eyes, gripping their weapons tightly, almost at the brink of taking action.
Mu Ziling was somewhat anxious, but even more so, she was cold.
Huang Guochun and He Jin echoed each other incessantly.
Even a clay figure has a temper.
They had even spat out these two words!
It was truly despicable.
Old Yu, the students you brought from Chengfeng University, they have weak strength but no shortage of temper!
They even know how to smash cups!” Huang Guochun said coldly, obviously having heard the sound of Hou Li slamming his cup.
He Jin looked disdainfully at Hou Li, his eyes clearly conveying the message: Dare to smash another cup and see what happens?
Hou Li gritted his teeth audibly.
He was close to losing his mind.
In the same second, Yun Jinning’s beautiful eyes revealed a hint of hesitation and impatience, but soon, it turned into determination.
She stood up abruptly, looking at He Jin, “Whether Su Chen is rubbish or not, I don’t know, but at least, he is better than you!”
As Yun Jinning spoke these words.
The entire VIP hall fell into silence, everyone’s heads lifted to look at Yun Jinning.
They were extremely shocked.
Everyone already knew of Yun Jinning’s identity, she was one of the previous session’s senior sisters from Taixuan Academy, a star student, and also one of the most famous beauties from the academy, as well as the direct-line young mistress of the Yun Family, one of the Twelve Great Families of Tianmai.
Logically, she should stand above the fray and not get involved in the affairs of the newcomers.
“Sister Yun, you need to take responsibility for your words.
Are you really sure he is better than me?
Or are you just not informed enough?” He Jin turned his head, looking at Yun Jinning, and asked indifferently, his expression unchanged, but deep in his eyes was fury and jealousy.
When the chosen students from the six universities had met, the moment he saw Yun Jinning, he was dazzled.
Yun Jinning was beautiful!!!
“A fair lady, a gentleman’s good match.”
He naturally took a liking to her.
However, he did not show it, thinking that once he got into Taixuan Academy, he would demonstrate his achievements, and then, he should have a chance to pursue Sister Yun.
But who could have thought…
Sister Yun actually spoke up for that what’s-his-name Su Chen?
He Jin even felt a murderous intent towards Su Chen, whom he had yet to meet.
In He Jin’s view, Su Chen simply didn’t dare to show up and was making excuses to hide.
If Su Chen did appear, he would definitely be defeated within seconds.
“Whether Su Chen is outstanding or not might not depend on my word alone, but I can tell you, I am taken with him, and as for you, I can’t be bothered to spare a glance!” A moment later, Yun Jinning spoke deliberately, and after finishing, she sat down, her face slightly blushing.
