Chapter 136 I don't think I did anything, so why is everyone so silent?
"Hey, Jun Yi, are you here to show us around, or just Skywater Academy? Anyone who didn't know better would think you're a student from the Skywater Academy!"
Huo Wu became extremely dissatisfied and spoke sarcastically. Jun Yi's attitude towards the Blazing Fire Academy was far worse than that towards the Skywater Academy. He ignored Blazing Fire Academy but greeted Heavenly Water Academy with a smile. Wasn't this clearly a prejudice against the Blazing Fire Academy?
"Hey, Huo Wu, you know what, when Brother Xue asked me which academy I wanted to join, my first choice was Skywater Academy. If it weren't for the Skywater Academy's rule of not accepting male students, the person you're meeting now would really be Jun Yi from the Skywater Academy."
Jun Yi turned around and retorted without any politeness, saying that he was having a good time chatting and getting along with the students from the Skywater Academy, so why were you interrupting? Even the students from the Plant Academy hadn't said anything.
"Really, Jun Yi? You really wanted to join our Skywater Academy back then? Why?"
Shui Yue'er was very curious when she heard that Jun Yi had wanted to join their academy and wanted to ask him why.
"It really is Senior Sister Yue'er. If you don't believe me, go ask Brother Xue, or Uncle Ning, Grandpa Sword, or Grandpa Bone. They were all there and can testify that I chose Skywater Academy without hesitation."
After Jun Yi finished speaking, all the students present had strange expressions on their faces, because the characters mentioned in Jun Yi's words— Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo —were all well-known figures in the Douluo Continent, and they were not people they could easily meet.
This made them realize just how outrageous the power behind Jun Yi truly was. The most talented prince of the current Heaven Dou Empire was his sworn brother, and the most favored daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was his childhood sweetheart. He even directly addressed the two Titled Douluo as "Grandpa."
The students present then realized that even if Jun Yi wasn't that talented, he would probably still have a very successful future thanks to these connections.
Jun Yi's words silenced everyone present. They instantly felt the difference in their social status, and even Huo Wu didn't dare to say anything more for a moment.
Normally, she takes advantage of being the daughter of the dean of the Blazing Fire Academy to have the final say in the academy, and everyone will obey her. In addition, she does have some talent, which has fostered her straightforward and proud personality.
But after meeting Jun Yi today, she realized that the gap between her status and Jun Yi's was far too great. This made her realize that she had indeed acted rashly. If she really provoked Jun Yi, not only herself, but also the Blazing Fire Academy would probably suffer his revenge in the future.
"Oh, Little Brother Jun, so you're saying you look down on our Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Seeing that the atmosphere around them had become somewhat oppressive, Dugu Yan pretended to be angry and questioned Jun Yi.
Jun Yi quickly put on a fawning smile and said:
" Sister Yanyan, that's not true at all. I'm a member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy now! When I was a temporary student at the Spirit Hall Academy, the Pope invited me to join as a Spirit Hall Academy student, but I refused, all for the sake of our academy."
At this point, Jun Yi pretended to wipe away non-existent tears from the corner of his eye and said, "I even abandoned Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, leaving those two girls at the Spirit Hall Academy. Isn't that enough to show my love for our academy!"
Jun Yi's words shocked all the students present once again. They hadn't expected that Jun Yi had actually met the Pope? And that the Pope had personally invited him to join the Spirit Hall Academy? More importantly, he had refused?
In an instant, everyone's worldview seemed to be shaken, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange again.
Dugu Yan covered his face with his hands in a helpless manner. He had originally wanted Jun Yi to do something silly to liven up the atmosphere, but now, he did do something silly, but it didn't work. He just made the other person even more silent.
Dugu Yan simply stopped talking and walked ahead, taking Ye Lingling's arm to lead the way.
"Hey, why is everyone so quiet?"
Jun Yi asked his classmates curiously, but their faces were full of strange expressions. He Jun Yi, didn't seem to have done anything wrong, so why was everyone silent?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Shui Yue'er broke the silence by speaking up and expressing her doubts.
"Junior, what is a 'transfer student'?"
None of the academies in the Heaven Dou Empire had the concept of "temporary students," so Shui Yue'er had no idea about it.
"Simply put, I want to study at the Spirit Hall Academy, but I don't want to quit the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. So the Spirit Hall Academy came up with a compromise: temporary students. Ordinary temporary students need to pay a large amount of Gold Soul Coin to enroll. If a student has good talent, they can also have their tuition reduced by passing their exams," Jun Yi explained to Shui Yue'er.
"Then Junior Brother must have passed the assessment, right?"
"Yeah, but I still paid 2000 Gold Soul Coin. It really hurts," Jun Yi replied with a smile.
"Only 2000 Gold Soul Coin? Isn't the Spirit Hall Academy training talent for other academies by doing this?" Shui Yue'er, somewhat puzzled.
Shui Bing'er, standing to the side, explained, "The reason Spirit Hall Academy dares to do this is because it's the number one academy on the continent. They have great confidence in their students and aren't afraid at all. Most importantly, Spirit Hall Academy Spirit Hall Academy a crucial rule: if an outstanding transfer student wants to join, they only need to say so, and the Spirit Hall Academy will arrange it for them and even refund their exorbitant tuition fees."
"It's a pity that most of the students who transfer to the Spirit Hall Academy are just students with average talent who want to enhance their resumes," Shui Bing'er said slowly.
"Yes, I didn't expect Bing'er to know so much about students on exchange programs," Jun Yi praised.
"Oh, I see." Shui Yue'er nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
Afterwards, Dugu Yan led everyone to a garden for a rest. Seeing that the beautiful senior students from the Skywater Academy were all silent, Jun Yi, in order to liven up the atmosphere, started talking to them about his experiences at the Papal Palace, which immediately attracted their attention.
After all, the Papal Palace is a sacred place in the hearts of all Soul Master. Some Soul Master are not even qualified to enter the Papal Palace in their entire lives. Therefore, all the students present, including Dugu Yan Ye Lingling, pricked up their ears to listen to Jun Yi's story about the Papal Palace.
After listening to Jun Yi recount how, through a series of coincidences, he and Ning Rongrong ended up running around aimlessly, joining the Spirit Hall Academy, and finally, by chance, entering the Papal Palace to meet the Pope.
Everyone felt it was a bit like a dream. "I never expected that Junior Brother Jun would meet the Pope like this. It's really amazing." Shui Yue'er nodded slightly, feeling that Ning Rongrong and Jun Yi were really too bold.
However, she didn't care about that. Shui Yue'er leaned closer to Jun Yi and whispered, " Big Brother Jun, is the Pope handsome?"
