Chapter 62

~8 min read 1,434 words

Bai Xiaosheng, whose real name is Bai Xiaosheng, was born into a merchant family and loves gossip news.

"I, Bai Xiaosheng, am determined to become the number one person in the gossip news industry," Bai Xiaosheng said so.

After chatting with Bai Xiaosheng for a while, the three of them, Zhang Xingyu, had become very familiar with him.

"Information is the primary productive force in any era. Bai Xiaosheng, you know how to use the academy's information to make money; you are truly remarkable," Zhang Xingyu praised.

Hearing Zhang Xingyu's praise, Bai Xiaosheng immediately found a soulmate: "Buddy, you're the only one who understands me."

His eyes became misty, and his father's words echoed in his ears: "Bai Xiaosheng, just honestly inherit my family business. Don't spend all day thinking about this and that, thinking about strange things. Which dynasty or which place have you ever seen someone get rich by selling gossip news?"

Bai Xiaosheng tearfully recounted his tragic experience to Zhang Xingyu: "Buddy, my purpose for entering Nanhua Cheng Immortal Academy was to avoid my father and pursue my gossip career."

Zhang Xingyu patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Buddy, this is truly a great ideal. It's just that you came to the wrong place. You shouldn't have applied to the Immortal Academy; you should have applied to a media academy."

"Media academy? What do they do? Where is it?" Bai Xiaosheng asked curiously.

Oh no, he let it slip.

Zhang Xingyu changed the subject: "Any place with matchmakers is one."

"Pfft. Do you take me for an idiot?" Bai Xiaosheng glared at Zhang Xingyu with dissatisfaction.

Zhang Xingyu was very curious about Bai Xiaosheng's gossip methods, so he asked again: "Bai Xiaosheng, you are a new student, how did you get the content in that booklet?"

"Exclusive method, ten gold coins," Bai Xiaosheng held up a finger.

"Money-grubber."

Zhang Xingyu casually tossed him a gold coin: "Just one, no more, hurry up and tell me."

Bai Xiaosheng quickly put away the gold coin: "Lean in. Yesterday, I grabbed a senior student at the academy gate, spent a few copper coins to treat him to a bowl of hot dry noodles, and he told me everything about the academy one by one. I then used ten copper coins to buy the student handbook in his hand. Then, I spent the whole night organizing it and copied dozens of copies of the academy secret manual..."

After chatting with Bai Xiaosheng for half an hour, the academy auditorium was basically full of people.

In the center of the auditorium, on the podium, several academy leaders sat upright.

At this time, a well-dressed academy leader walked to the center of the podium and said loudly into the sound-transmitting stone: "Hello, hello, students, please be quiet. Now, I announce that the 31,868th Welcome Ceremony of Nanhua Cheng Immortal Academy officially begins. Today, the academy leaders attending the welcome ceremony are Dean Xu Yun, Vice Dean Long Gang, Proctor Liu Cheng..."

After he finished rambling through the introduction of a bunch of leaders and guests, he announced the second item on the agenda: "Next, we invite Dean Xu Yun to give the welcome speech. Everyone, please applaud."

After he finished speaking, Xu Yun straightened his Daoist robe and walked to the sound-transmitting stone with a vigorous stride.

"Students, leaders, teachers: Good morning! September is the season of harvest, September is the season of joy. Today, the academy welcomes a new batch of students! Welcome to you, students from all over the country!... Here, as long as you are diligent, innovative, self-respecting, self-loving, self-strengthening, and independent, you will definitely be able to realize more brilliant dreams and will definitely become a useful talent for the Cultivation Realm! Here, I wish the students academic progress, good health, and a happy life!"

Xu Yun rattled on for a long time, then returned to his seat.

Next, the host announced loudly: "Thanks to Dean Xu Yun for his teachings. Now, the meeting proceeds to the third item: student Tang Yunxi will represent the senior students to give the welcome speech."

As soon as his voice fell, cheers erupted from the audience: "Fairy Yunxi, Fairy Yunxi..."

Zhu Dafu jumped up and waved his hands vigorously: "Sister-in-law Xing, Sister-in-law Xing..."

The people around him stopped shouting in unison and glared at him with fire in their eyes.

Zhang Xingyu pulled him back to his seat: "Little Fatty Zhu, don't cause trouble."

Zhu Dafu looked aggrieved: "Brother Xingyu, that is a sister-in-law."

Zhang Xingyu was speechless: "Nothing is set in stone between her and me yet; it's inappropriate to call her that now. Wait until I win her over, then it won't be too late for you to call her sister-in-law."

"Shameless!" As soon as his voice fell, the people around him glared at him in unison.

On the podium, Tang Yunxi walked to the sound-transmitting stone with poise and gently unfolded a piece of white paper.

A voice like heavenly music sounded.

"Dear junior students: Hello! Welcome to Nanhua Cheng Immortal Academy to start a wonderful learning journey..."

Every time Tang Yunxi spoke a sentence, there were cheers below.

Tang Yunxi actually read the short page of manuscript for half an hour.

Zhu Dafu shouted the most enthusiastically.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu not saying a word, he asked loudly: "Brother Xingyu, why aren't you cheering for sister-in-law?"

Zhang Xingyu patted his head: "Your sister-in-law doesn't need these two sentences from me."

"Pfft, you're just afraid to shout, right."

Speaking of this, Zhu Dafu's eyes rolled, he stood up, and shouted loudly at Tang Yunxi: "Sister-in-law Yunxi, Brother Xingyu says he loves you."

"Sister-in-law Yunxi, Brother Xingyu says he loves you." Zhu Dafu's shout was like a magic sound, instantly spreading to every corner of the hall.

In an instant, the auditorium was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked at the gesticulating Zhu Dafu in unison.

Everyone was speculating who Brother Xingyu was.

Zhang Xingyu had black lines all over his forehead.

On the podium, Tang Yunxi's beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Zhang Xingyu, as if a knife was about to fly out of her gaze.

Following Tang Yunxi's gaze, everyone looked at Zhang Xingyu again in unison.

Zhang Xingyu's old face turned red.

He stood up, thick-skinned, and wanted to explain to Tang Yunxi: "Fairy Yunxi, we meet again. This time, I didn't intend to appear before you. I am a new student of the academy; I came to attend the welcome party."

Tang Yunxi bit her red lips and remained silent.

There's an affair!

Everyone was speculating.

The crowd whispered, and the hall buzzed again.

Tang Yunxi's face was so gloomy it seemed like it was about to drip water.

Seeing this situation, the host hurriedly ran to the sound-transmitting stone and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet. Student Tang Yunxi, please continue."

Tang Yunxi came back to her senses, parted her red lips, quickly finished reading the manuscript in her hand, and ran off the podium in a hurry.

Beside Zhang Xingyu.

Zhu Dafu sat down triumphantly, then stood up triumphantly again.

Next, it was his turn to go on stage to speak as the new student representative.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Dafu puffed out his big belly and ran quickly to the podium.

"Respected teachers, dear students, hello! Stepping on the cool autumn breeze, kissing the intoxicating chrysanthemum fragrance, we stepped into the gate of the Nanhua Cheng Immortal Academy we have dreamed of. When I stepped into the academy gate, seeing the enthusiastic arms and warm smiles of the senior sisters, and hearing the songs and laughter of the new students, my blood began to boil and my heartbeat began to accelerate... Students, let us cherish the good times, sow love, let our dreams fly, embark on the journey, and forge new brilliance together!"

Zhu Dafu spoke with passion on stage, but no one in the audience applauded for him, and no one cheered for him.

Can't dampen a child's enthusiasm.

Zhang Xingyu thought for a moment, then took the lead and clapped his hands.

On this day, the news that Fairy Yunxi and Zhang Xingyu had an affair spread like wildfire, quickly spreading throughout the entire campus.

"Have you heard? Fairy Yunxi is involved with a first-year freshman?"

"How is that possible? That is the goddess in my heart; who could be worthy of her?"

"A freshman, named Zhang Xingyu, I heard he is also a waste spiritual root who cannot cultivate."

"Oh heavens, oh earth, strike him down with a thunderbolt!"
