Chapter 142: Grandly Introducing the Disciple
Dean Chen carried Ye Qianning through the crowd and walked to the main seat at the top. The teachers followed him and stood behind the dean.
"It seems that almost everyone has arrived. Please take a seat." Dean Chen said in a bright voice.
Sit down?
Many people below looked around to see if there were any seats.
Before he could react, a group of teenagers in school uniforms appeared, holding cushions. There was a cushion every half meter in front, behind, left and right, and they were placed on the ground in rows.
“…”
Everyone was speechless. Loushan Academy held a banquet and asked people to sit on the ground?
Ye Qianning also found it quite interesting. Most of the people who came were men, and there were not many women. One person was allowed in per post, and family members were not allowed.
There are hundreds of people below, both big and small, who are powerful and influential. Even if the academy sets up tables, there are not so many, and the post needs to be delivered urgently.
It’s not bad to make so many futons in one night.
The courtyard in front of Loushan Academy is comparable to a huge playground that can accommodate thousands of people. Even if a hundred people sit down, it is still very spacious.
Although many powerful people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to speak and sat on the cushions.
Ye Qianning saw that her father was sitting in the front row, closest to her, and her eyes narrowed as she smiled at him.
Old Gu happened to be sitting next to Xiang Minghou. When he saw the little girl looking at him, he couldn't help but lean his head towards Xiang Minghou, smiling and greeting him.
“…”
Ye Qianning withdrew his gaze.
Mr. Gu was a little disappointed when he didn't get a response from the little girl.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the academy's banquet today. Drinking alcohol is prohibited in the academy, so I will serve you tea instead of wine." Dean Chen said and waved to the young students.
Nearly a hundred young students were already waiting with white teapots. When they received the signal, they poured tea for everyone.
Dean Chen put Ye Qianning down and held the cup with both hands: "Everyone, please."
Seeing Dean Chen drink it all in one gulp, everyone also raised their glasses to their lips.
Dean Chen of Loushan Academy is considered to be the most senior. Many powerful people in Kyoto City come from Loushan. Even the emperor has to respect the dean. Many people dare not speak out even if they are dissatisfied.
"When will the dean let us see the legendary Yin and Yang?" After drinking the tea, someone asked.
Everyone looked forward to it upon hearing this.
"Everyone, please be patient. The Yin-Yang Xiangsheng will be brought out after the banquet for everyone to see." Dean Chen put down his cup, looked up at the sun above his head, then lowered his head and said, "It's almost time now. Before the banquet begins, I have something important to tell you."
Everyone was confused about what Dean Chen meant and waited for his next words.
Dean Chen brought Ye Qianning to his side and said, "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is my direct disciple Ye Qianning."
This statement caused an uproar among the crowd. Dean Chen was over eighty years old and only accepted outer disciples, never personal disciples. How could he suddenly accept a little fat kid as his personal disciple?
Could it be that the dean is too old and confused?
Some people had secretly known that Dean Chen had received a personal apprenticeship, but they were still surprised by such a public introduction.
Mr. Gu and his group were also quite shocked. Being so high-profile was not like Dean Chen's usual style.
Ye Qianning glanced at the crowd below. There were surprise, ridicule, confusion, and all kinds of expressions were present among them. He sneered in his heart. It was really a mixed crowd, with all kinds of people having their own thoughts.
If you want to survive in Kyoto, you can't live long if you are weak and fragile.
