"Um, well..."
Even Cao Rui, quick-witted as he was, was at a loss for words after Jiang Yu's remark.
Their goal in coming here this time had been Lu Lin.
If Lu Lin had been of ordinary strength, that would have been one thing. But he was so powerful that he had fought his way through more than a hundred upperclassmen from the previous class without stopping once. To claim they hadn't noticed his strength would have been like slapping themselves in the face.
But Lu Lin was so powerful, and Jiang Yu was clearly standing up for him. For a moment, Cao Rui couldn't think of anything to say.
"Teacher Jiang."
Just then, Wen Qi spoke up.
When she saw Jiang Yu turn her gaze toward her, Wen Qi's heart gave a small lurch, but she quickly steadied herself.
She smiled and said, "Teacher Jiang, Lu Lin's strength is plain for all to see, and he's highly ambitious. He should focus his energy on cultivation and combat. Our Discipline Department is usually very busy, so if we invite Lu Lin without thinking it through, wouldn't we be wasting his cultivation time?"
"Besides, our Discipline Department isn't the academy's top department. I personally feel that the Martial Fighting Department would be a much better fit for Lu Lin."
After sharing her thoughts, Wen Qi watched Jiang Yu cautiously.
Jiang Yu nodded slowly.
"That's right. The Martial Fighting Department is the right place for Lu Lin. You're all quite good, too."
With that, Jiang Yu turned and left, taking the eleven students with her as they whispered among themselves.
Seeing that they were no longer needed here, Cao Rui and Wen Qi bowed to Handawi, then hurried away.
They had to report everything they had seen today to Li Erkang in
