Forsaken Immortals Chapter 196 - Befriending The Geniuses

Chapter 196 - Befriending The Geniuses

The youngsters were somewhat surprised by Yun Haochen's direct speech. They knew that this was their purpose, but to say it in such a straightforward way, it required a lot of guts, and it was also quite a gamble.

However, it seemed that he had succeeded, and the gentle and refined young man suddenly looked somewhat thoughtful.

They were all not only talented in cultivation, but their intelligence was also above average, and they could instantly guess the reason why their comrade had made this decision.

If Bai Rouyun was an ordinary mortal, there might be a way to either hoodwink her or even threaten her, but this woman had an aura and bearing that could dominate even in the cultivation world, so belittling her, or trying to cheat her, would naturally end in failure, and their mission might fail before it even began.

They had not expected that she would be so accepting, and even approve of their direct approach, so they felt quite refreshed.

"Good day, Miss Bai." The second person to introduce himself was the gentle-looking young man. "My name is Dongfang Yu."

The other two young men noticed that it was time for introduction, so they quickly mentioned their names, Qiao Junyue and Mo Beichen.

The first of the women to introduce herself was the one who did not reveal any jealousy or disdain towards Bai Rouyun. Her name was Mei Jiaren.

It was not before all of the others had been introduced that the final two women felt the pressure, and unwillingly introduced themselves.

Their names were Xiao Bingqing and Li Xiayu. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they were not very friendly towards one another, but now that they found that they held a common dislike towards Bai Rouyun, they did not dislike one another as much as before.

The others did not seem to care about the lack of enthusiasm from the two women, instead, they were curiously looking at Bai Rouyun.

"So, can we enter Miss Bai's cla.s.s?" The one who asked was Qiao Junyue. He did not know why, but he felt that this woman was rather friendly, and he genuinely hoped that they could become friendly with her. Not for the sake of the benefits, but because he genuinely found her interesting.

Others seemed to agree, but the two women, Xiao Bingqing and Li Xiayu were very unhappy. They were convinced that all she had was a pretty face.

Bai Rouyun could easily see the jealousy and hostility in the eyes of those two women, but the others seemed genuine and friendly, so she was willing to become friends with them.

She had many things she wished to experience. She had recently understood many things, but even so, she also knew that she had many things, especially about sects, she did not understand yet.

She did not mind befriending these experts; although she knew that they wanted to get something from her, she also accepted them with an ulterior motive. As long as they had no intention of harming her, she did not mind starting their relations.h.i.+p based on mutual benefits.

The Headmaster was somewhat embarra.s.sed as he looked at Bai Rouyun. He knew that she was in the lowest-ranked cla.s.s within the inst.i.tute, but these students were not suited to enter such a cla.s.s.

While they were not here for the sake of learning, their rank was simply too high, and they would truly cause a complete mess if they were to enter her cla.s.s.

Initially, he had not been tempted to move Bai Rouyun to a higher cla.s.s, but looking at her now, he felt that he might not have another option.

"Miss Bai." The Headmaster called out, as he looked at Bai Rouyun with some hope.

"You have been at the inst.i.tute for some time; what is your current level of strength?"

"It should be around the Innate Realm, Orange Tier." Bai Rouyun showed no intention of hiding her cultivation base, as it would be announced one day or another.

"Who are you trying to trick?!" Just as she had spoken, and before the headmaster even had the chance to speak, Xiao Bingqing shrieked in disbelief.

One has to know that she was merely at the Innate Realm, Yellow Rank. She had been training for many years to reach this rank, and she was considered a genius, but she also knew that Bai Rouyun had not cultivated for long, but she was already so strong.

"She might have just consumed numerous pills, making her cultivation base unstable." Li Xiayu was also very upset, knowing that her strength was not much different from theirs. Her voice contained jealousy and anger as she continued to speak.

"She is married to the Eternal Shadow Lord; he has access to many resources, so I would imagine that she has been consuming these resources wantonly, without knowing what difference it will make in the long run."

Xiao Bingqing and Li Xiayu were full of jealousy as they spoke. They glared at Bai Rouyun, completely forgetting their purpose of befriending her.

The others were frowning as they saw their att.i.tude, and they felt rather uncomfortable. They wanted to befriend Bai Rouyun, but their comrades were indeed pig teammates. They did nothing right, only managing to destroy the others' hard work.

Bai Rouyun did not comment on their thoughts. She had already guessed that they were unhappy with her, so she was not so stupid as to seek torture.

The headmaster also understood that she did not care about them, and he cleared his throat. "Since you have advanced to the Innate Realm, Orange Tier, then you might as well join the first cla.s.s. This is a talent that is hard to defeat, and you deserve your position in the cla.s.s. The rest of you can follow her."
