Chapter 756
"How could they go?" Ruan Yulong was unable to believe it. "Won't they partic.i.p.ate in the College Tournament?"
According to what he had thought, they would not leave.
Duan Yingwu and Mo Xinghai were also shocked at this point. They had made the college tournament earlier for the sake of dealing with the Canglan College.
As long as the Canglan College failed this time again, the college would never be able to lift its head in the future.
Now that the team from Canglan College had left, if they didn't partic.i.p.ate in the college tournament, then hadn't they lost greatly this time?
The most important thing was that it was all caused by Lingyin College who blocked their entry.
So even if they choose to drop out from the tournament, then it was not their fault. This could be very troublesome.
"Hongzhuang, we left just like this, do we not partic.i.p.ate in the tournament?" Xia Zhiqing could not help but ask the things that worried her.
Baili Hongzhuang waved her hand, "of course we will partic.i.p.ate in the tournament."
"So what do we do now?" Xia Zhiqing asked in a confused way.
"We just need to find an inn here in the Imperial Capital. Everything was arranged by the Lingyin College and they will definitely not be willing to see us leave like this."
Baili Hongzhuang's lips curled into a confident smile. In her opinion, the trick used by Lingyin College is simply too stupid.
Rejecting them for the sake of ridiculing them, but when they left, their princ.i.p.al would have to come back and apologize to them.
Which college would lose the most face by this?
Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo completely understood after listening to the words of Baili Hongzhuang, and their hearts were filled with admiration towards her. Baili Hongzhuang was really smart.
"Since they will not let us leave, they will come and ask us to come back. We will just find an inn and live in, while experiencing Qing Dynasty's Imperial Capital the next two days." Lu Huaiyan smiled.
This method of Baili Hongzhuang, not only did it save their face and save them from humiliation, it also made the Lingyin College lose face. It was definitely the best solution.
Listening to the two mentors, Bai Junyu and the others understood what was happening and their faces showed a smile.
"Haha, after we said we were leaving, the guard's face instantly turned into the color of a pig's liver." Xia Zhiqing smiled happily.
At this moment, since she had understood all the ins and outs of the mater, she did not have the same tension as she had in the beginning. Now that she thought of the appearance of the guard, she could only feel that it was all ridiculous.
"The guy was annoying, and we left. He must be very unhappy now."
As pract.i.tioners of Canglan College they have always been respected, but here they were being humiliated.
Dongfang Yu chuckled. "Even if the guard was ordered to do this, when this is informed to the Lingyin Colllege's princ.i.p.al, he will not have a good time."
As Dongfang Yu said this, the others gave him a thumbs up.
This was simply the best!
Baili Hongzhuang and the others randomly found an inn in the Imperial Capital. Even though they had traveled for a long time, they were only a little tired, instead they were interested in the Imperial Capital of the Qing Dynasty.
"The two mentors have already gone to meet the vice-president. Why don't we go out and experience the Imperial Capital at night?"
Cui Haoyan's face was full of smiles that resembled the spring breeze, although the results of the college tournament was not optimistic, at least he was in a good mood.
Hearing the question, the faces of the others were also showing a color of interest. When they first came to Qing Dynasty they should enjoy themselves.
"Since we are already here, let's go shopping, isn't it a waste if we don't?" Dongfang Yu grinned, "Let's set out!"
After leaving the inn, everyone went to a restaurant to eat. After asking around, they knew a bit about the Qing Dynasty. The First Tower had the most delicious meals.
The group did not hesitate to head towards the First Tower. Every region had different kinds of specialties. They had finally arrived at the Qing Dynasty and their hearts were filled with curiosity. They naturally had to try out the most delicious food from this area.
Standing in front of the door to the First Tower, everyone had a bit of surprise in their eyes.
On the golden name plate, the three characters* of the First Tower was written as if the calligraphy was dragons and phoenixes dancing together. The First Tower was like it's name, the best restaurant in the Qing Dynasty.
Baili Hongzhuang had just entered the restaurant when she saw a smiling waiter come towards her. "Several guests, there is no s.p.a.ce on the second floor, all rooms are rented out. I do not know whether or not you wish to eat in the lobby?"
Everyone nodded their heads, sitting in the lobby was also a good decision, because people were usually talking well and they could listen in on important conversations.
When they arrived they knew nothing of the Qing Dynasty, maybe they could hear some favorable news.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Bali Hongzhuang and the others were seated in the center of the lobby.
They had to admit that the business in the First Tower was extremely busy. Baili Hongzhuang and the others intentionally entered the most popular restaurant. Even so, they had not expected it to be this filled.
"Dear guests, I a.s.sume this is your first time coming to the First Tower. Do you need me to recommend our signature dishes for you?"
The waiter was obviously very friendly, an he took the lead in introducing them after seeing the approving appearance of Baili Hongzhuang.
Seeing the waiter's enthusiasm, Baili Hongzhuang and the others also let much more comfortable with this waiter.
"Then we will trouble you with finding some dishes for us from the First Tower. We are eight people, please decide for us." Baili Hongzhuang smiled.
"With pleasure," the waiter nodded, "Please wait for a moment, and the wine will be delivered."
After the waiter left, Zhan Yunfeng smiled and said, "Although I don't know much about this First Tower, the waiter is very clever and friendly."
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly. "In my opinion, the owner must have spent a lot of time on training the waiter."
"I also think that this restaurant is elegantly furnished, there is no lack of luxury and everything you could ever want from a restaurant can be found here." Dongfang
However, while they were looking at the layout of the First Tower, they did not know that someone on the second floor were looking at them.
"Second brother, do you see those two great beauties in the lobby?"
In the middle a teenager around the age of seventeen was saying with excitement as his eyes fell on Baili Hongzhuang and the others.
"Third brother, although the beauties of the Qing Dynasty are quite a few, can they really be considered great beauties?"
Opposite the teenager, a man around nineteen, wearing a green robe was looking at him with a bored expression.
*第一楼 - Diyi = First, Lou = house with more than one story.
Nangong Yujin's face had an expression of excitement, "Second Brother, I am telling the truth, if you don't believe me then take a look!"
Seeing that Nangong Yujin was so serious, Nangong Xiujie looked towards the lobby of the First Tower. Just with this one look he could no longer believe his eyes.
"When did two such beautiful woman come to our Imperial Capital? I did not get any news about this."
Nangon Xiujie's eyes sparkled with a dazzling light as he coveted the woman below. So beautiful it was simply otherworldly.
"Second brother, that woman with the hibiscus colored dress is so warm and affectionate, the tenderness is like water, it is truly the best among the best."
Nangong Yujin's word revealed a strong interest, this woman was so delicate and beautiful she was out of this realm. It was really the first time they saw a woman like this.
Nangong Xiujie looked at the hibiscus-dressed woman, but then his eyes fell on the white-dressed woman.
He could not help but think that she was the real beauty of the two.
Both appearance and temperament were one of a kind, especially since the smile had completely caught his heart.
This kind of rare beauty, he would never let her go, that was not the style of Nangong Xiujie.
"I think the white-dressed woman is more moving," Nangong Xiujie rubbed his chin as he said, his eyes sparkled with excitement. He had not been this excited for a long time already.
Listening to the words of Nangong Xiujie, Nangong Yujn also smiled. It seemed as if his second brother understood his thoughts.
"In this case, isn't that great for the two of us?"
Nangong Xiujie nodded, "It is indeed good."
After waiting for some time, the wine they had ordered arrived.
Looking at the delicious wine in front of them, everyone were eager to get their dishes.
"This wine has a pretty color, the color and the fragrance is both superior, I just don't know how it tastes. Let's try it!" Xia Zhiqing smiled.
Everyone also tasted a bit. After tasting it they could not help but sigh, sure enough this was the Fist Tower, the taste was really amazing.
"This taste is really good," Bai Junyu smiled, the wine from this big dynasty was truly special.
At the same time, the conversation from all the others entered their ears.
"I hear that one of the three colleges were deliberately made fun of at the entrance of Lingyin College. Later the team left Lingyin College directly, did you know of this?"
"Left? I didn't hear about this, but if they really left, can the college tournament continue? I don't understand why Lingyin College would do this, it's a bit too much,"
The man shook his head. Lingyin College was always very important in their minds, the status was very high, but this kind of move was simply shooting themselves in the foot.
"I don't know, but the college has lost twice in succession. It is normal to be ridiculed. The strength of Lingyin College is the highest."
Bai Junyu changed his mind. "Originally I wanted to see the strength of Lingyin college, but now I have no interest in them at all."
He had also respected the achievements of Lingyin College over the years, and was humble to learn from them.
Although Lingyin College couldn't judge right from wrong and relied on the Qing Dynasty, at least Lingyin College had some very good cultivators.
However, when they showed this kind of att.i.tude today, it proved that they had already fallen.
"Lingyin College has been attached to the Royal Family of the Qing Dynasty for quite some years now. It is normal that it is filled with high-ranked people."
Gong Shaoqing slowly said, an there was a bit of disdain in his eyes. A talented gentleman was obviously well liked, but a person with strength but a narrow mind was simply just a villain.
It was impossible for them to admire the strength of Lingyin College now.
While they were eating they listened to the laughter and talks of the people around them, all kinds of news were being discussed but most of it was useless for them.
At the same time, Nangong Xiujie an Nangong Yujin slowly descended from the second floor. Their heads were held high and they walked with elegance. A folding fan was held in the hands, showing that they were graceful.
"Hey isn't that the second prince Nangong Xiujie and the third prince Nangong Yujin?"
"This First Tower restaurant is really excellent. I heard that the royal family wanted to recruit their chef. They came to the First Tower to recruit the chef, but why would the chef not go with them? Instead the princes often come here to eat instead, especially the second and third prince are regular customers."
"Where are the two princes going? They are heading towards the lobby? Do they know someone who is sitting in the lobby today?"
The eyes of everyone turned somewhat strange. If it was someone that knew the two princes, then their ident.i.ties could not be normal, how could they eat in the lobby?
Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujin had a smug and confident smile on their faces, as princes they were the center of attention no matter where they went.
With the words of these people things were likely to go their way now.
Listening to the conversation of the other customers, Baili Hongzhuang and the others could not help but look at Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujin.
Not for any other reason but because Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujin were both students of Lingyin College. The strength is outstanding and they would likely be their opponents in the tournament.
After a slight glance, Baili Hongzhuang and the others returned to eating their food. After all they would not be able to really understand these people from just a glance. After all they just wanted to be able to recognize them. As for the college tournament, it was impossible to do anything to them as they were from Canglan College, the president would not allow it since they still needed the college to accept the tournament.
However when they turned around Nangong Xiujie an Nangong Yujin had stopped at their table.
Seeing this, Baili Hongzhuang and the others looked at one another. It was quite difficult to guess what was going on, the news about their departure earlier, could it be that they already knew of their ident.i.ties?
However, the words that Nangong Xiujie said mae them understand that it was purely them who thought that they knew their ident.i.ty.
"Pretty girls, why not come with us to the palace to have a deep conversation?"
Nangong Xiujie's voice was warm and his lips were curled into a faint smile, the expression was one of a polite young master.
However when his voice fell his eyes fell on Baili Hongzhuang and it was as if Gong Shaoqing and the other men were not present at all.
This made all of them understand, Nangong Xiujie was not polite, he was being arrogant.
"What if we don't want to?" Xia Zhiqing's voice was cold. The att.i.tude of Nangong Xiujie was very unpleasant.
Gong Shaoqing and the other three men looked at one another, they instantly understood that they were looking for Baili Hongzhuang and Liu Qinyue.
Thinking about it, Gong Shaoqing an the others were somewhat helpless.
They belonged to the special enrollment cla.s.s of the Canglan College, but these two women were the most attractive ones they had ever seen.
At first, Liu Qinyue was hailed as the number one beauty of the academy, attracting all male cultivators to pursue her, many even joined the academy for the sake of seeing her.
Since Baili Hongzhuang arrived, the situation had not become better, in fact, it had just become more intense.
Because now half the cultivators were after Liu Qinyue and the other half were after Baili Hongzhuang.
Even though these guys had been with Baili Hongzhuang and Liu Qinyue for a long time, they still found them pleasing to the eye.
The two of them were naturally the most eye catching and now the two princes had obviously come for the sake of them.
Nangong Xiujie heard the coldness in Xia Zhiqing's words and his eyes changed slightly.
He had lived for many years and had found many girls throughout the years, but he had never been treated like this by a woman before.
On the contrary, many women wanted to marry him, however he wasn't interested.
The smile on Nangong Xiujie's face did not change because of Xia Zhiqing's words, instead he said, "I am Nangong Xiujie, the second prince of the Qing Dynasty. I am very happy to have met you."
At the same time Nangong Yujin also went to the side of Liu Qinyue. "I have seen many beautiful, peerless and independent people in my life, both in this city but also the rest of the country, but there are no woman as beautiful as you,"
Nangong Yujin did not hide his praise, a woman such as this one, it was really the first time he ever saw one.
Liu Qinyue was unaccustomed to such a scene. Although many admired her, no one had ever been so direct before.
She was unsure of how to respond for quite a while.
Looking at the fl.u.s.tered face of Liu Qinyue, Nangong Yujin was even happier. This beautiful woman was so pure, just a few sentences and she was already shy.
Nangong Xiujie looked at his younger brother, the eloquence of his third brother was truly magnificent, just a few words and he had already grasped the heart of the lady.
The people in the restaurant instantly understood what was going on, and thy could not help but look curiously at them.
"I just knew the two princes wouldn't have known someone from the lobby, it turned out that it was just a drunkard who was guessing before."
"I noticed that the two girls looks stunning, but with their temperament they cannot be ordinary people."
"it doesn't matter who they are, now the two princes has come out they are going to be taken away." The people shook their heads. They felt that these women would definitely follow the princes. Who wouldn't want to marry a prince?
However, although the strength of these two princes was very outstanding, they were l.u.s.tful people. Almost every outstanding woman within the capital had been picked up by them,
These two women were truly pitiful.
"Girl, I don't know what to call you?"
Nangong Xiujie's eyes landed on the body of Baili Hongzhuang. Before looking from far away he had felt that she was very outstanding, now that he was next to her he found her bright and moving.
The exquisite and beautiful face had not the slightest imperfection, especially the temperament and style the faint scent she carried. She was not comparable to any other woman.
