BXBX NOVEL Chapter 61 - A Reminder From Bai He
Chapter 61: A Reminder From Bai He
After Lin Bai packed his things, he rushed over to meet up with the main force. The dean of education had been waiting for a long time.
Initially, the academy did not plan to send anyone along with him. However, considering Lin Bai’s outstanding performance, if something unexpected happened along the way, they would lose a good seedling.
What they were most afraid of was what would happen if some of the academies were secretly jealous and wanted to make a move against Lin Bai. That would be impossible to guard against. After all, the grudge between Lin Bai and Bai He in the mystic realm was known by some of the higher-ups of the academy.
Therefore, if the academy were to come out and interact with Dean Zhou, who was in charge of the manpower arrangements, Dean Zhou would be easier to talk to. In addition, the Dean of education had a good relationship with him in private, so he agreed to it.
The people from the four major academies were still led by the teachers of their academies. This was except for a few more students who were arranged by their own academies. As for the rest of the people, they were arranged by Dean Zhou.
The group of people set off in such a grand way. Most of them were surprised to see Lin Bai and the others. They didn’t expect that the people from No. 5 middle school would also come.
“Why are they here?”
“After all, they have also entered the mystic realm. They definitely have the qualifications.”
The people from the other academies whispered among themselves. Unexpectedly, the people from the four great academies, who had mocked them the most fiercely outside the mystic realm, were exceptionally silent. Some of them didn’t even dare to look at Lin Bai in the eye, causing people to be a little confused.
Originally, no one had noticed anything strange. However, they were in the same group. Their attitude was intriguing.
“I remember that those people from the four great academies looked down on this kid. Why aren’t they saying anything now?”
Previously, they had mocked him a lot. However, looking at their current attitude, everyone felt that it was strange.
“I know. I heard that it was this Lin Bai who beat them up.”
Someone who was well-informed lowered his voice and said, “This is what my uncle’s brother-in-law’s mother-in-law’s nephew told me.”
Everyone was speechless.
“Are you kidding me? He alone can beat everyone in the four great academies. Even an author wouldn’t dare to write this in a novel. Why don’t you say that he even defeated Bai He?”
“Lin Bai really defeated Bai He. If you don’t believe me, go ask him yourself.”
“Isn’t that offending someone? A lower ranked academy student is able to defeat the people from the four great academies. Aren’t you just putting on an act?”
Just as everyone was whispering, someone suddenly exclaimed, “Look, Bai He is actually walking towards them.”
“Could it be that he is looking for trouble?”
“It’s very possible. Look, Bai He has a cold expression on his face. If he isn’t going to fight, what else can he do?”
Bai He walked in front of Lin Bai and said calmly, “I have something to discuss with you.”
After saying that, Bai He glanced at the dean. The meaning behind his words was self-evident.
The dean rubbed his nose and walked to the side with great tacit understanding, leaving the space for the two of them.
“Do you know why we can go to the capital city to exchange and study?”
Lin Bai really did not know. Seeing that he did not answer, Bai He continued to say,
“Actually, it’s not that our four great academies don’t have exchanges with the capital. It’s just that we don’t have much contact with the Shao family. This time, they suddenly invited us, and it was after the incident at the Sword Tomb –”
Bai He paused. “Don’t you think there’s a problem?”
Could it be that the four great academies thought that the incident at the sword tomb was the work of the Shao Family? Lin Bai’s expression did not change, but he kept feeling as if he had heard this surname somewhere before.
Bai He recalled what his master had said before he left. His Master was Dean Zhao of the Sword Cultivation Academy, and because of that, he knew more than these ordinary students.
“You’re not thinking of saying that they have some sort of conspiracy, are you?”
Bai He shook his head. “I wouldn’t go so far as to say that they have some sort of conspiracy, but no matter how I look at it, I find it a little strange.”
After saying these words, he left. He didn’t care about Lin Bai’s reaction. Lin Bai rubbed his chin. Although Bai He looked cold and aloof, and seemed very arrogant and difficult to get along with, in fact, he was not a bad person.
He had specially come over to say these words, but in fact, it was a subtle reminder. He didn’t have to do this. However, he still did it, which made Lin Bai a little surprised.
“The Shao family… where have I heard of them?”
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He remembered that the group of people he had killed in the mystic realm earlier. The leader wearing brocade-robes. People seemed to address him as “Senior brother Shao!”
Lin Bai was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not even notice the dean when he walked to his side.
“What are you thinking about? I called you a few times, but you didn’t respond.”
Lin Bai shook his head. “It’s nothing. I’m just thinking that I don’t have much contact with the capital city.”
The dean was also full of emotion. “Exactly. Now that they’ve suddenly invited us to exchange and learn, I’m also surprised. However, you have to take advantage of this rare opportunity…”
He said things, but Lin Bai didn’t listen carefully.
On the contrary, the others were just watching the show. They thought that the two of them could get into a fight, but they didn’t expect that Bai He would leave after they got together and discussed something.
Just like that?
Everyone was greatly disappointed. Not to mention them, even the people from the Sword Cultivation Academy thought that Bai He was here to settle the score with Lin Bai. They couldn’t help but ask, “Senior brother Bai, why did you come back just like that?”
Bai He said expressionlessly, “What else could I have done?”
“Senior brother, I think you should have fought with Lin Bai again. You only lost slightly in the mystic realm, and this time…”
Bai He cast a sidelong glance at him. His eyes were like a thousand-year-old iceberg that couldn’t be melted. People couldn’t help but shiver, so his voice became softer and softer.
“Since you’re so worried, why don’t you go and fight for me?”
After saying this, Bai He turned around and left. The others might not be clear, but only those who were inside knew how terrifying Lin Bai’s sword intent was. In the few days after coming out of the mystic realm, he did not even take his sword.
Once he took it, it was as if he had returned to the scene of that day. At that moment, he really felt as if he had walked out of the gates of Hell. However, this was not the most terrifying part.
The most terrifying part was that he started to doubt himself. Was there really anyone who take such a strike? Or was it that he was not strong enough.
Bai He did not know why he would say such words to Lin Bai. He had always believed that wherever he fell, he would rise from it. Lin Bai was a respectable opponent. If it was in the past, he would definitely challenge him again and again, but now, he was a little hesitant.
