You've got some nerve saying that!
The moment Fu Qian spoke, even Lanaia stared at him in stunned disbelief.
Had this guy maxed out his talent for provoking people?
He'd beaten up an instructor, killed a student, and now he was trying to poach their star pupil?
Was he really determined to make an enemy of the Sword Participation Institute for good?
As one of the most outstanding students of her year, Ji Liushuang's reputation extended well beyond the Sword Participation Institute. Quite a few people knew of her.
She still hadn't grasped Sword Intent, but most people thought it was only a matter of time.
And you went straight for someone like her!
"We have no authority to decide an individual student's development plan. You'll have to coordinate with the Sword Participation Institute about that."
The woman chairing the meeting was speechless for a long moment.
"Is that so?"
Fu Qian glanced at Jian Jingzheng. His face had turned ashen, his eyes bloodshot, and he looked on the verge of going berserk.
"You just said that Ji Liushuang would be wasting her talent if she stayed at the Sword Participation Institute?"
Jian Jingzheng stared fixedly at Fu Qian as he asked.
"I did."
Fu Qian clicked his tongue, unfazed.
"To be honest, my initial reasons for coming to the academy were, first, my admiration for this sanctuary devoted to studying Supernatural Power, and second, my desire to find a talented young person to inherit my legacy."
"After searching high and low these past few days, I finally found Ji Liushuang, an uncut gem. It's just a shame she's on the wrong path—a pearl hidden in the dust."
"A... pearl... hidden... in... the... dust!"
Jian Jingzheng repeated the words one by one, his face twisted in a cold sneer.
