Chapter 195 - New Students
The Blue Water Institute headmaster raised his head as he looked at the group of youngsters in front of him. His heart was slightly unsettled, and he did not feel any comfort from having to accept such talented geniuses.
He knew of the Blue Water Institute's position as a bridge between the mortal and the cultivation world.
These experts were naturally not from the mortal world, their aura and garments were showing luxury and power, and he dared not go against them. Still, he also felt somewhat uncomfortable having these young masters and misses cause havoc in his institute.
While he was aware that it was ranked as a low-grade institute in the cultivation world, he still took pride in the students he taught, and he was not very happy having to accept these playful geniuses.
"We wish to be sent to the same class as student Bai Rouyun." The one who spoke was the arrogant young woman. Her eyes showed that she held no respect for this headmaster and that her request was actually an order.
While the others were not voicing their opinion, they did not stop her either, clearly indicating that they truly wished to enter the same grade as Bai Rouyun.
The Headmaster was aware of the delicate identity of Bai Rouyun, and he had a headache knowing that they had come to sound her out. He did not know if they meant well or had plans to harm her.
While he was not very happy with Bai Rouyun, she was a student in his institute, and he was not willing to endanger her. This was his responsibility as her teacher.
The stoic-looking man had a flash of respect in his eyes as he noticed the headmaster's struggles. These youngsters were stronger than this man, but he was still standing firm in front of them, not willing to put his students in danger, even if he had to face off against the cultivation world.
Such a figure deserved respect.
"Do not worry." When he began speaking, the other youngsters turned silent and respectful. "We mean no harm. Miss Bai is new to the cultivation world, and we wish to help her to adjust."
The words were polite, and he gave a good reason. The headmaster could not help but nod his head and consider the words. It was indeed a benefit for Bai Rouyun to become acquainted with these youngsters, so in the end, the headmaster asked for someone to call Bai Rouyun over.
Many of the youngsters felt rather curious about the identity of Bai Rouyun. They could not help but wonder if she had three heads and six arms, or if she looked like a fallen fairy which could seduce any man in the world.
Two of the women sneered, and the disdain in their eyes was getting more and more evident as time went by.
After some time, they heard soft steps outside the office. The steps were soft, but they caused a tremor to run through the hearts of a few of the people inside.
The door slowly opened, and the person who was revealed caused shock to appear in the eyes of all present.
The woman was extremely attractive, and they quickly recognized her as the woman they had seen when they first entered the premises.
The white dress that was wrapped around her body flowed like a cloud; the slim waist was wrapped with a jade belt, giving one the urge to hold her in a tight embrace. The red lips tempted one to take a bite, and the watery eyes were sparkling with happiness and innocence.
Bai Rouyun had already been extremely beautiful, but the advance in her cultivation had made her look even more refined, and the enhancement of her body was also giving her a beauty that could not be rivaled.
The two women who had disdain in their eyes suddenly felt stunned as well, and their eyes were full of surprise.
However, this surprise was not pleasant, but full of jealousy. They knew that this woman was not simple, and her aura did not seem like that of a low-level cultivator, such as the rumors stated. The more outstanding that this woman was, the more they hated her.
The young men however, and the final woman, were all full of excitement. They had been focused on her earlier, but they had never thought that this young woman would be Bai Rouyun.
Facing such strange gazes, Bai Rouyun was feeling somewhat perplexed. She noticed the excitement within some of their eyes, and jealousy in others, but she was not entirely sure what their aim was.
Since they had arrived in the Blue Water Institute, they should be looking for her, but she was not sure what exactly their purpose was.
Noticing her confusion, the stoic-looking man took the lead to speak again.
"Good day, Miss Bai. I am Yun Haochen, and I am the leader of this little group of youths who come from the cultivation world. We came from the faction of the Saintly Cloud Sect, and our purpose here is to get to know you. Miss Bai has already become a famous figure within the Cultivation World, as you have managed to marry such a legendary figure as the Eternal Shadow Lord. We hope that you will give us the permission to stay within the Blue Water Institute and get more familiar with you."
Bai Rouyun was shocked when she noticed how honest this Yun Haochen was, and she saw complete sincerity in his eyes. It was obvious that he disdained to lie, and his honesty moved her.
"I am not sure whether or not you will gain anything from staying within the Blue Water Institute, but I do welcome your stay."
Initially, Bai Rouyun had not intended to welcome them. Still, the honesty had truly moved her, and she was going to enter the cultivation world at some point anyway, so she might as well get in touch with them already.
