Chapter 158 -Task Completed - Binge-Watching in This World
The Emperor said, “She’s the descendant of General Xu! Excellent! How was this new artifact made?”
Vice Academy Master Xu asked, “Where did you learn the sword control technique? How come I’ve never seen it before?!”
The two Vice Academy Masters from the other two academies offered, “It seems like you aren’t being treated fairly in Lingyun Academy. You guys are welcome to join my academy.”
“Get out of here! After I return, I’ll remove that old Qin Bing from his current position!” Vice Academy Master Xu was furious when he heard that Lingyun Academy had suppressed its disciples and prevented many good disciples from entering the national examination.
Due to Qin Bing’s misconduct, he almost disgraced himself by walking out on the Emperor since a lot of good disciples didn’t come!
The Lingyun Academy disciples with excellent performances were bombarded with all kinds of questions.
…
“Mr. Fang! I didn’t know that you could use the sword control technique like this!” Mu Donglai’s expression had turned from alarm to astonishment and then to pleasant surprise as he stood up slowly on the sword.
“This is the advanced version of the sword control technique,” Fang Qi said, “But it’s hard to master this technique of flying on swords. It took me a lot of time to master!”
“It’s so fast! So convenient!” Mu Donglai said in amazement, “If one can master this technique, it would be so much more convenient than driving a spiritual boat!”
“Of course.”
…
At this moment, Qin Bing took out his communication jade. He was left with one way to maintain his current position, and that was to ask all the instructors of the academy to plead for his case.
Then, he suddenly received a message, [Director Qin, most of the instructors at Lingyun Academy have gone to Origins Internet Club to watch the so-called national examination livestream. Now, they all know what happened during the national examination!]
“What?!” Qin Bing went limp!
By now, all the forces following Qin Bing had collapsed!
…
In the grand hall of the Royal Palace of Dajin.
Sitting in the throne, Emperor Ji Wu of Dajin thought things over about what had happened during the national examination.
“The failures of Shengjing and Xiyi and the rise of Lingyun are all due to that little shop named Origins in Jiuhua City?”
“The special spiritual artifact used by the girl from the Xu Family can be activated with little strength, and it also came from that shop?”
“How did this shop appear in the Jiangnan Region? Is it a blessing or a threat to Dajin?”
“For now, it caused some disturbance, but what the shop has done is beneficial to Dajin.”
“Premier Zhang, what do you think?” There were many masters in Dajin, but the man who talked with the Emperor about the national affairs was a civil official without any cultivation strength!
Premier Zhang was an old man about 70 years old who had white hair and a white beard. He bowed to the Emperor and said, “In my opinion, we can’t punish people who bring benefits to our country. Even if Your Majesty is suspicious, please don’t make decisions until further investigation is done.”
“I’m busy and can’t do the investigation,” Ji Wu said, “Premier, can you do it for me?”
“I will do my best.”
Ji Wu nodded. “Thank you, Premier.”
…
– Shengjing Academy –
“Lingyun Academy gained the victory all because of a small shop in Jiuhua City?!”
“The sword control technique came from that small shop?”
At this moment, all the disciples were talking about the many kinds of techniques used by the Lingyun Academy disciples in the national examination.
Everyone was impressed by the sword control technique, the close-range combat skill, and the guns as well as that young man who left the national examination while flying on a sword.
They found that they were not truly inferior to their opponents. At this realization, they came out from their depression!
“Okay! Okay!” Liang Heihu shouted, “Tomorrow, I’ll take all the disciples who did well in this national examination to visit that shop and see what special stuff it has!”
“Lengyu, come with us tomorrow!”
“Okay! Master!”
…
– Xiyi Academy –
At this moment, the disciples of Xiyi Academy were still staying in Shengjing Academy Hotel.
They had claimed to take the first place in the national examination, but they got the last place in the end!
All their hard work had come to nothing! It was a huge blow for them.
Ying Zongxuan clenched his fists, angry at himself for losing to a warrior who had a civilian background.
Luo Yun also gritted her teeth. She had spent lots of time tempering herself by battling with demonic beasts, but she was later told that all the disciples of Lingyun Academy had killed immortals and real demon.
She now understood how big the gap was between them!
Therefore, the academy had decided to rent a huge spiritual boat to transport groups of elite disciples to Jiangnan to play games in the Origins Internet Club!
I’ll do my best to play each game well! Luo Yun thought, One day, I shall surpass you!
Besides these two academies, even the Royal Princess and the Second Prince were also discussing if they should go to Jiangnan to visit the shop.
As to those people who had sat near Fang Qi such as that black-robed old man and the Black Cloud Daoist, they were also contemplating. “Maybe, we should pay a visit to Jiangnan?”
…
Considering the situation, Song Qingfeng, Nalan Mingxue, and the others wanted to skip the celebration banquet and return to Jiuhua as soon as possible. Otherwise, they probably would have no seats left in the internet cafe.
However, they had to follow the basic procedures and observe the necessary etiquette, which meant that they couldn’t return to Jiangnan until the next day.
Meanwhile, Fang Qi’s small shop was crowded with disciples and instructors from Lingyun Academy due to the abolishment of the Lingyun Academy’s prohibition.
In the cool and breezy evening, the suppressed disciples had gone to the Wind and Moon Pavilion to celebrate their victory.
At this moment, Fang Qi returned to the internet cafe.
“There are so many new games?” With the main customers, the Lingyun Academy disciples, gone, the internet cafe wasn’t too crowded, and Mu Donglai didn’t have to wait in line.
“Diablo? The Legend of the Sword and Fairy? Counter Strike?” Mu Donglai read the names one by one. “It’s a hard decision.”
“Well… Activate them all for me!”
[Beep! Binge-Watching TV Dramas in this World is completed!] At this moment, the System suddenly notified Fang Qi.
