Chapter 97: Do you think I'm your lapdog?
The vice-teacher and the first, second, and seventh elders of the Fengtian Star Academy blushed and then turned pale with embarrassment at his words. They couldn't openly tell Si Jichuan to shut up, so subconsciously they wanted to use the coercion of the powerful to restrain him first and then persuade him properly. However, they weren't the only ones present. As soon as a trace of star power fluctuation appeared on them, the headmaster of the Pinglan Star Academy and the city lord of the Pinglan City quietly used their star power to block the coercion that was about to encroach on Si Jichuan from the two of them. Si Jichuan also didn't disappoint the two. His words directly hit the Tianyi family and the Fengtian Star Academy in the face: "Don't you think that I'm your lapdog just because I'm in the Fengtian Star Academy? What a beautiful thought. Even if you expel me, I don't want to stay in the Fengtian Star Academy anymore. Whoever wants to stay there in the future can stay." After saying that, regardless of what expressions they had on their faces, he turned around with his sword on his shoulder and left. The audience from poor families were still applauding and jeering, while the audience from families were all dumbfounded. Had Si Jichuan broken with the Fengtian Star Academy? Did this mean that the Si Yang family, which ranked third on the Star Spirit Continent, had broken with the Fengtian Star Academy? Which star academy would Si Jichuan go to after leaving the Fengtian Star Academy? Quite a number of instructors from family star academies were present. Seeing this situation, they were all eager to try and see if they could recruit Si Jichuan to their own star academies. However, these matters had nothing to do with the Pinglan Star Academy, nor with Lan Zhi. Lan Zhi stood among the examinees with her eyes lowered meekly, but in fact, she was pricking up her ears to listen to the whispers of the audience from families - their casual words often carried a lot of information related to the families. While listening, suddenly someone shouted towards Si Jichuan's back, "Si Jichuan, the eldest miss of the Tianyi family will arrive at the Fengtian Star Academy in three days. Isn't it a pity that you're leaving now?" Si Jichuan suddenly stopped in his tracks. That person thought there was a chance and shouted again, "Can't you just sit down and talk things through when the time comes?" Si Jichuan gave that person a disdainful look and said coldly, "What does the eldest miss of the Tianyi family have to do with me?" After saying that, he looked around and asked, "Which way is it to go down the mountain?" Chang Lize had applied to be the steward of this assessment in order to watch the scene. Si Jichuan's outburst made him feel really good. He happily stepped forward to lead the way: "Hello, please go this way to go down the mountain." And so Si Jichuan swaggered off. No one noticed that Lan Zhi quietly clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves. Tianyi Fengyi was actually going to the Fengtian Star Academy? But on second thought, it was normal. In the past many years, she had only sent her soul out, and Tianyi Fengyi could still imitate someone's body. Now that she had left with both her soul and body, Tianyi Fengyi had lost the object to imitate and would show her true colors sooner or later. If she wanted to hide the abnormalities on her body, she had to leave the Tianyi family. The Fengtian Star Academy might not be a good choice, but obviously it was the only choice she had at present. Lan Zhi curved her lips and smiled slightly. She was looking forward to Tianyi Fengyi's future days. Dang— The bell interrupted the noisy discussions of the audience and also interrupted Lan Zhi's thoughts. Chang Youfang cleared his throat slightly and spoke to break the extremely awkward atmosphere among the notaries: "For the third special assessment, Si Jichuan, forfeits." Then he looked at the remaining five people and asked, "Does anyone else want to forfeit?" There wasn't anyone. Thus, the last special assessment officially began. In the stone chambers that could block spiritual power and divine consciousness, desks, chairs, jade slips, paper, and writing brushes were placed. Lan Zhi sat down in front of the desk, opened the medicine box, took out the pills inside, and after slightly distinguishing and confirming that they weren't poison, she broke off a bit and put it into her mouth.
