Fictional Transcension System - Chapter 23 Enlightenment Will Trial 1

“It seems that you have earned the favour of my younger sister…”

Lu Fengyi turned to Wang Tao before replying, “Indeed! I look forward to meeting with brother Wang Tao more in the future.”

“Hmph! Just because you’ve gotten lucky once doesn’t mean that everyone will approve of you.” Wang Tao snorted in derision. Not only was this child a student of that trash teacher, Zhang Xuan, he had only met Wang Ying the day before. This boy simply had to be a playboy with skills in seducing others. Completely forgetting that Lu Fengyi was still a child, just like his younger sister, Wang Tao subconsciously defended Wang Ying out of brotherly love.

“Wang Tao shaoye, you shouldn’t treat Lu Fengyi as such. We know that you weren’t at the clan yesterday, so you don’t know anything of Lu Fengyi, however you should still keep an open mind. Just remember that even the grand elder who dotes upon the young mistress so much has approved of Lu Fengyi.”

One of the elders patted Wang Tao’s shoulder before riding ahead to converse with one of the other elders. Wang Tao looked slightly shocked at the words, however he kept his composure before continuing, “I’ll listen to the elders for now, however remember that I will be judging you!”

Realising that he might have said too much earlier, Wang Tao clasped his ankles into the ribs of his horse, urging it to greater speeds to catch up to the elders in front.

Seeing Wang Tao ride away, Lu Fengyi grinned widely before lightly calling to Wang Ying, who was still clutching to his waist, “I’ll convince your brother eventually.”

Although he was unable to see Wang Ying, he almost knew that her face would be burning red right now, hiding herself behind him. Chuckling to himself, Lu Fengyi watched as the academy began to enter into view. One must know that the horses that the Wang clan had brought out were only the most powerful the village could offer, allowing travelling speeds of almost a eighty miles in a single hour. In order to protect riders with lower cultivation levels, the horses would keep their heads high, effectively breaking the intense wind during the ride.

Upon arriving at the academy, the group dismounted from their horses and walked towards the entrance. Lu Fengyi followed suit, leaping off the horse before stretching out a hand towards Wang Ying. Too embarrassed to speak, Wang Ying took the hand and similarly dismounted the horse.

Feeling that Wang Ying wanted to disengage from the hand-holding, Lu Fengyi suddenly felt extremely devious, gripping her hand tighter.

“Eh…” Knowing that Lu Fengyi was doing it on purpose, Wang Ying blushed, however did not object to the intimate actions.

Laughing heartily to himself, Lu Fengyi lead Wang Ying into the academy, following the elders to the trial room in which Zhang Xuan should be in. As the group arrived before the door to the trial room, Lu Fengyi was able to make out some of the voices inside.

“Alright, let’s just end the matter like that! We will talk about it when you are able to cultivate a student to Fighter 2-dan intermediate stage and when more students are willing to acknowledge you as their teachers!”

“Elder Shang”

“Shen laoshi, my grandfather is right. No matter what, Cao Xiong is a respectable teacher of our academy. It is making a big fuss to have him expelled over such a minute affair! Besides, firing such a talent is a loss to our academy”

“You You are being unreasonable! Just like what Zhang Xuan said, if he had lost, will you all let him off just like that?”

“What does he count as? Can he be compared with Cao Xiong laoshi? Can he nurture a Fighter 2-dan student? Can he attract countless students to the academy through his reputation”

The teacher on duty nodded to Wang Hong before knocking lightly on the door.

“Is there anything?” came a voice from the room once more.

“Elder Shang, there are people outside seeking an audience. They claim to be Clan Head Wang Hong and elders of the Wang Clan of Tianxuan Royal City!”

The group heard a shuffle of movements before the voice answered, “Clan Head Wang Hong? Hurry up and invite him in!”

Following the Wang clan members in, Lu Fengyi glanced around the entire room, noticing the capsule like machine he knew to contain the orb for the Enlightenment Will Trial.

A calm, composed voice welcomed them in, “I am flattered by the personal visit of Clan Head Wang. If there is any matter, you can always just pass a message to me. Coming over like this, I am very honoured!”

“Indeed, I do have a matter that I will be troubling Elder Shang with.” Wang Hong strode up to one of the elders, reaching out for a hand shake.

The elder took his hand with glee, “Of course! Clan Head Wang Hong, please speak up!”

“Ahh, you see… my youngest daughter’s teacher has been accused of coercion and I came to see if Elder Shang could help me out with this matter.”

Eyes sparkling, Elder Shang nodded, “I too know of this matter. In fact, we are currently judging that very teacher right now.”

Waving his arm to indicate Zhang Xuan, Shang Chen continued, “This is the teacher that you speak of. Cao Xiong laoshi over here was the one that reported him and is vying to get his student back.”

Lu Fengyi glanced over to where Zhang Xuan was standing, noticing the number that lay upon the display panel of the crystal orb.

-69-

‘Pfff, what the hell is this. I clearly remember the number to be 64, yet now it is 69. System, did you do this?’

[ I thought people of your time would enjoy jokes like this. I did in depth research just for you alright? ]

Lu Fengyi shock his head in mock horror. These were the jokes for those in junior high school, not post graduate authors like him.

As the one referred to as Elder Shang continued to ramble on, Wang Hong began to discuss and praise the elder, “You’ve had Wang Tao under your guidance for quite a while already. I am extremely grateful to you for teaching my child well.”

As the two figures continued to commend and praise each other’s achievements, Lu Fengyi thought subtly to the system, ‘For the public face slapping quest, does this current situation count?’

[ Based on the variety of people present and also the number of high authority figures, the current situation will count towards the quest ]

Lu Fengyi smiled to himself before muttering below his breath, ‘Perfect.’
