Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 63: Inscription Ceremony
The autumn leaves are bleak by the Emerald Lake.
A man and a woman who were responsible for the defense of this small area in the Purple Gold City sat in a pavilion by the lake, looking into the distance.
They are a couple, the man is called Chi Bao and the woman is called Ye Qianhan. Like many couples who have been in charge of the world's famous houses in Zijin City from generation to generation, they accepted the special gift from Zijin City and became the guardians of the world's famous houses.
They want to protect the scenery, the houses, and the people here.
The stunning scenery gradually made their lives quiet and ordinary, until the guy who knocked on every door to buy a house moved in a few days ago...
Chi Bao and Ye Qianhan only knew that his name was Tang Zheng and that he was about to become a formal student of Yisuli Academy.
"He has caused a lot of trouble in Feishi City recently. It seems that we will be busy soon." Chi Bao smiled and poured Ye Qianhan a cup of warm tea.
"Be careful, the little beauty left in Emerald Lake will be distorted if it is stained with blood." Ye Qianhan sighed.
If they could choose their guests, they would definitely turn Tang Zheng away.
The problem is, they can't.
In fact, there are only about seven or eight owners of the houses by the Emerald Lake whose names they know. Among the seven or eight, they only know the identities and origins of five of them. As for the others... they don't even know who they are.
Every owner of a famous house in the world is either rich or noble, and mysterious. They usually don't ask about things that the owner doesn't say.
A pot of tea, still warm, the topic hadn't left Tang Zheng yet, Ye Qianhan stopped holding the cup in his hand: "He's here..."
"Who's coming?" Chi Bao turned around and saw Tang Zheng walking towards them with a mixed-race fox girl.
Tang Zheng still looked like a romantic scholar, but the fox girl behind him was dressed rather strangely.
She was wearing a strange black and white dress. The flower on her head didn't look like a flower, and the hat didn't look like a hat. She looked quite unique.
"You rich people really know how to have fun." Chi Bao silently complained in his heart, but he still stood up immediately, "Hello, Mr. Tang, what can we do for you?"
"Yes, I have!" Tang Zheng nodded with a smile, "I want to buy a house."
"..." Chi Bao and Ye Qianhan were speechless.
Fortunately, both of them were "service personnel" who had been carefully trained in the Purple Gold City for ten years, so they did not subconsciously ask rude questions.
But they really didn't know what to say in their hearts, because, hadn't Tang Zheng bought one not long ago? Why did he need to buy another house?
However, they have been in Tianxia Minglu for so many years, and they have also seen people who spend money even more like water.
After being slightly surprised, they didn't ask any more questions and just said, "Are you going to buy another house in Emerald Lake?"
"Yes, it's the one over there." Tang Zheng pointed to a bamboo forest in the distance and a two-story building in the forest.
The last time Tang Zheng bought a house, he simply knocked on every door.
And this time , he actually had a fixed target!
Chi Bao and Ye Qianhan looked in the direction Tang Zheng pointed, and their expressions really changed.
"Although I shouldn't ask this question, but..." Chi Bao's face turned a little green, "Why did you buy that small building?"
"If you shouldn't ask, why are you asking?" Tang Zheng was a little surprised.
Judging from my communication with Chi Bao these days, they are quite professional.
They shouldn't care too much about asking the reason for buying a house.
"Well... this is what happened..." Chi Bao knew he had to explain, "Many of these houses in Emerald Lake have been vacant for more than ten years, or even decades... We don't necessarily know who their owners are or where they are now."
"Don't you know who the owner of that small building is?" Tang Zheng asked.
"No, just the opposite. We know very well the owner of that small building..." Ye Qianhan replied.
"Then what's the problem? I can pay a little more money, and it's no problem if the market price doubles." Tang Zheng asked.
"No, no, no, it's not about money... There's no special reason. I'm afraid the owner won't sell the building." Chi Bao said.
"You also know..." Ye Qianhan smiled helplessly, "Who would be short of money if they live in Tianxia Minglu?"
"That's right." Tang Zheng could also understand that people who own famous houses in the world should not be impressed by money.
"So, can you tell us why you want to buy that small building? The owner is quite strange. Maybe he is willing to sell it to you because you appreciate the bamboo in his yard..." Ye Qianhan tried his best to help Tang Zheng find a solution.
"Yes." Chi Bao nodded. "At least tell us the reason, then we can help you contact them."
Tang Zheng scratched his head and looked at the small building in the distance again.
He pursed his lips, pulled back his gaze and said, "I bought that small building because... I want to tear it down."
Even though Chi Bao and Ye Qianhan were well-trained, they felt like they had fallen to the ground at this moment.
Rich people really know how to have fun!
"Well, okay." Chi Bao nodded quickly, "We will pass your request to the young master right away. We will let you know the result of the contact in at least five days and at most one month!"
"Then thank you both for your help." Tang Zheng had no sense of scaring anyone. He waved his hand to the fox girl, took her with him, and went back to his room.
…
Tang Zheng was not idle during the few days he waited for a reply from the owner of Zizhu Building.
As the first newcomer selected by Yisu Academy this year, he will speak on behalf of all the newcomers at the inscription ceremony.
Ouyang Luoluo had sent people to nag him several times that this was a big event and that he must prepare well.
"The freshman representative's speech at the opening ceremony?" Tang Zheng had never experienced such a glorious moment. In his previous life, he was not a top student, nor was he the child of an important person. Of course, the title of freshman representative would not fall on him.
The glory on the stage has never belonged to him.
Whether they are freshman representatives or arena masters, they can only be “other people’s children”.
No one knows who he is.
The main thing is that no one cares who he is.
"Well, hello everyone, I'm Tang Zheng, I'm Tang Zheng, I'm Tang Zheng...Important things must be repeated three times!" Tang Zheng was very "seriously" preparing his speech for the inscription ceremony. As he was preparing, he even laughed out loud.
What is the funniest thing in the world?
Let a funny guy give a speech!
Tang Zheng felt that he had the motivation to stop being funny again.
However, this time he had the motivation but not enough time. A few days later, the inscription ceremony of Yisu Academy was officially launched!
The square of Yisu Academy was crowded with people.
Every year's inscription ceremony at the academy is a huge event, and almost all the members are present. Even some old deacons who have not been in charge for a long time will make a special trip to be there.
This year, except for Leng Zhan and a few people in the team who had no time to return to the academy due to some unexpected events during their training trip, all the deacons, instructors and students arrived at Yisu Square.
Not only that, the failed warriors who were about to leave Yisu Academy this year, holding temporary nameplates, and their families, all crowded in to watch.
When there are a lot of people and the scene is big, people will feel particularly nervous.
"Brother Tang Zheng, are you going to give a speech today?" Little Lingling looked even smaller in the crowd, and her little face was already red.
"Yes." Tang Zheng nodded with a smile.
Tang Xiaotang and the others just thought of this, and couldn't help but look at Tang Zhengdao: "There are so many people... and many seniors, and seniors who graduated from the academy... Are you a little nervous?"
Tang Zheng glanced around and said, "No."
"How can I not be nervous? I'm already so nervous even without having to go up to speak." Tang Xuan's fingers were indeed trembling.
"Let me tell you something..." Tang Zheng said.
"Okay, okay." Little Bell jumped up.
"In the past, there were schools in my hometown, but not this kind. They were the kind that only taught people to read and write, just like when I was in the Tangjiabao Lecture Hall..." Tang Zheng continued as he recalled, "I was always one of those students with poor grades. One day, I got into trouble and was punished... It wasn't any other punishment, but I was punished to read a letter of apology in front of all the students in the school."
"And then what..." Tang Xiaotang had never heard Tang Zheng talk about his past.
"Then, I recited it. Since then, I felt that something had broken out of its shell...well, that was faith!" Tang Zheng said with a beaming smile.
However, Tang Xiaotang and the others all rolled their eyes one after another...
"I finally understand... Master, that broken shell must be called moral integrity."
"Well, the thing that came out of the shell was cheeky!"
The experience of reading a self-criticism in front of the whole school is indeed more effective than any speech. Moreover, Tang Zheng is different from Tang Xiaotang and others. Although he has never participated in the inscription ceremony, he used to attend the opening ceremony every year. Therefore, he did not feel that the scene was too big, and he did not feel nervous at all.
If a professional player does not even have this level of psychological quality, then if an emergency occurs in the dungeon, he will have to take his sponsor with him to the destruction of the team.
Just when Yisu Square was already crowded, Leng Buchen's figure finally appeared on the high platform...
When he opened his mouth, he only said eight words: "Welcome to Yisu Academy!"
These eight words caused cheers from the audience. Every warrior who had entered the Yisu Academy had a proud smile on his face, while those who failed to be selected looked at the , hoping that they would be the ones to receive the official nameplate next year!
The inscription ceremony of Yisu Academy has officially begun with cheers and applause!
