Chapter 202 Rewards

The rewards are very generous.

Besides treasures and elixirs, there are other cultivation resources.

For example, cultivation techniques, superior training grounds, and so on.

Most importantly, they also gained the attention of the main academy and had the opportunity to participate in some training programs that only special disciples could participate in.

Of course, this is just a reward from the main hospital.

Both the South Campus and the North Campus offer their own rewards, and the rewards are even more generous.

After Elder Mei announced the rewards for the top ten, several elders from the main academy went on stage to distribute the rewards to the winning disciples one by one.

After the top ten disciples stepped down from the stage, the higher-ups from the South and North Courtyards distributed some encouragement awards to the disciples who ranked lower.

After all the awards have been distributed, the top five disciples will go on stage to give a speech.

It was nothing more than polite words of thanks for the training provided by the institute.

After the entire process was completed, the sun had already set in the west.

Elder Mei then adjourned the meeting.

The disciples of the North Academy excitedly surrounded Luo Qingfeng and his companions as they left the South Academy.

The disciples of the Southern Academy were all dejected, and some were blaming the disciples in this year's competition for being useless.

Some people also whispered complaints about the steward who recruited new disciples.

Someone mentioned, "You've all heard, right? The kid who won first place in the new disciple competition was originally going to come to our South Courtyard, but he was rejected, insulted, mocked, and kicked out. He just happened to be picked up by the people recruiting new disciples from the North Courtyard..."

"Really? Where did you hear that?"

"Many disciples know that that kid's lover is in our South Courtyard..."

These words immediately stirred up a hornet's nest.

"Yes, yes, I heard about it too..."

"Let me tell you, I personally saw that kid being led into our South Courtyard by his lover..."

"That kid's girlfriend is Nightingale, the most beautiful girl in our South Courtyard's Human Rank Department. Don't you guys know? I've seen them meeting at the main gate several times..."

"I heard that the two of them have been living together for a while now."

"If that's the case, then this kid should have come to our South Campus first. Who rejected him and even insulted and mocked him?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard it was the Yuan family who did this. Teacher Cao even went to complain. The person in charge of recruiting new disciples was Steward Shangguan Ming, and that old guy Sun Changshan..."

"Sun Changshan? No wonder! That old guy is in cahoots with the Yuan family..."

In the vast square, the disciples of the Southern Academy, who were about to disperse, were all drawn to this topic and began to inquire about it everywhere.

Before long, everyone knew about it.

The disciples of the Human Rank dared not discuss it too much, but the disciples of the Earth Rank and Heaven Rank were not afraid and began to inquire and discuss it everywhere.

"Damn it! If this is true, then Shangguan Ming, Sun Changshan, and those bastards Yuan Tong are the sinners of our Southern Academy!"

"Our South Campus could have won first place in the new disciple competition for five consecutive years!"

"That boy is so talented, yet he was rejected and insulted by those snobbish bastards! I'm furious!"

"If that boy hadn't been kicked out, he would have been a member of our genius team. What a pity."

The disciples' discussion grew increasingly heated and indignant, their gazes turning towards Yuan Tong and Sun Changshan on the stands.

Meanwhile, the other high-ranking officials from the South Campus in the stands also looked at them with grim expressions.

Sun Changshan and the others turned pale. They wanted to leave quickly, but they didn't dare, since the Prince of Zhenbei, the vice president, and the people from the main hospital were still sitting there.

As the noise below grew louder, Cui Mang's expression became increasingly grim.

Seeing this, the Prince of Zhenbei and the people from the main hospital, fearing he would be embarrassed, offered a few words of comfort before getting up and leaving.

Before leaving, Elder Mei of the main academy solemnly warned him: "Brother Cui, the reason why our Demon Suppression Academy has been able to stand strong until now is because of its talent and its fairness. Some people form cliques for personal gain, are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and suppress talent. This is undermining the foundation of our Demon Suppression Academy. You had better examine yourselves carefully and nip this in the bud."

Cui Mang lowered his head and remained silent.

After the people from the main hospital, the Prince of Zhenbei, and the people from the North Hospital left, Cui Mang sat on the chair for a long time before standing up. He looked at Sun Changshan and the others with sharp eyes and said in a calm tone, "Elder Sun, Steward Shangguan, Steward Yuan, you will come with me to the Enforcement Hall later."

Upon hearing this, the three of them trembled and turned deathly pale.

Surrounded by the crowd, Luo Qingfeng returned to the North Campus, and then, led by Liang Lizhi, went to meet Vice Dean Xu Liao and other high-ranking officials of the North Campus.

Xu Liao first praised them with a big smile, and then talked about the rewards from the courtyard.

Luo Qingfeng didn't care about cultivation resources; he only cared about the promise the academy had made.

After Xu Liao finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "Dean Xu, the academy said that anyone who gets into the top three in this new disciple competition can make three requests to the academy, any request will do. Does that still stand?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else laughed.

Xu Liao laughed and said, "Of course it counts. If the academy's promises don't stand up, that would be terrible. What kind of request do you want? But let me make it clear beforehand that requests that violate regulations and laws are definitely not allowed."

Luo Qingfeng stated his request directly: "This disciple would like to ask the seniors for help in transferring Nightingale from the South Courtyard to our North Courtyard."

"Oh?"

This request surprised all the senior executives of the North Campus.

Luo Qingfeng explained, "Nightingale has already voluntarily requested to withdraw from the Southern Academy, and the Southern Academy initially agreed, saying they would approve it after completing one mission. However, they went back on their word and kept delaying it..."

He recounted in detail what the South Courtyard had agreed to on the spot, and how they later went back on their word.

Upon hearing this, Xu Liao frowned and sneered, "It's the Yuan family's doing again! Has the Yuan family taken over the South Courtyard?"

He then comforted her, saying, "Qingfeng, don't worry. If what you said is true, this matter will definitely be fine. Tonight I will first speak with the elders of the main academy, and then I will personally go to the South Academy to ask for her tomorrow morning. I can agree to this now and I will definitely help you get it done. According to the rules, as long as that female disciple makes this request and stays in the South Academy for the required time, the South Academy has no right to prevent her from leaving."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng immediately felt relieved and quickly thanked him.

Xu Liao laughed and said, "That's a small matter. What are two more requests?"

Luo Qingfeng thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I haven't thought of any other requests yet."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone came in to report, "Huo Man has arrived."

Luo Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly cupped his hands again, saying, "Dean, I've thought of a second request. My second request is that I not be allowed to marry Junior Sister Huo!"

Xu Liao: "..."

The other senior executives of the North Campus were also stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

After a while.

As Luo Qingfeng left, he saw Huo Man standing imposingly outside the door, dressed in a fiery red dress.

"Congratulations on winning first place! But don't get too cocky, I'll be advancing soon!"

Upon seeing him, Huo Man remained undeterred, first offering a haughty congratulation, then asking, "What did Dean Xu say to you? Did he mention our matter?"

Luo Qingfeng asked knowingly, "What could possibly be between us?"

Huo Man snorted coldly and said, "Of course it's your business of marrying me! Dean Xu and the others promised me that as long as I can get into the top three, they'll let you marry me!"

"oh."

Luo Qingfeng gave a nonchalant "Oh," and said, "Go ask him yourself."

Having said that, he ignored her and quickly left.

Huo Man suddenly added, "Oh, by the way, I helped you advance. Your first-place finish this time is partly thanks to me. How about you treat me to dinner tomorrow?"

Luo Qingfeng didn't stop walking and said directly, "I have no money."

Huo Man immediately declared domineeringly, "It's alright, I have money. If you marry me, I guarantee you'll have more money than you can spend in your entire life!"

Luo Qingfeng ignored her and walked away quickly.

Under the big tree by the roadside, the setting sun cast its rays, and three figures were waiting for him.

"I need to go to the library first."

Upon approaching them, he addressed them.

Although he had seen Senior Bai in the North Campus, he still wanted to go and say hello.

The nightingale hummed in agreement and said nothing more.

Dong Miaomiao pouted, somewhat displeased, and said, "Going off to fool around again, hmph!"

Luo Qingfeng pretended not to hear and quickly left.

When he arrived at the library, Granny Ning was not there again; the first floor was empty, but the main door was open.

Luo Qingfeng found it strange and went straight upstairs.

On the sixth floor, a cool and aloof beauty in a plain white dress sat quietly reading a book at the window. Her ample bosom remained proudly displayed on the table in front of her, beautiful and alluring in the sunset.

Behind her was a flowing, jet-black hair, thick and smooth, as lustrous and beautiful as black silk.

Beneath her flowing hair were a slender waist and rounded hips, their curves alluring.

Under the table, a pair of small feet clad in snow-white stockings were faintly visible beneath the soft, snow-white gauze skirt.

Yes, it's still as wonderful as ever.

After advancing to the tenth star of the Heavenly Realm, Luo Qingfeng's vision became even more powerful. If this were combined with his supernatural ability [Clairvoyance]...

Of course, he is a gentleman and would not do anything despicable.

"Cough cough..."

He glanced at it a few more times, then walked over and said directly, "Senior Bai, I just saw you in the North Courtyard. Did you just get back?"

Bai Ruofei lowered her head and flipped through the book, saying calmly, "You've mistaken me for someone else. That's not me."

Luo Qingfeng did not argue, but cupped his hands and said, "This junior has lived up to your expectations, senior, and has won first place in the new disciple competition this time."

Bai Ruofei's expression remained unchanged as she calmly replied, "Oh, congratulations."

Luo Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, glanced at her again, and asked, "Why haven't I seen Granny Ning these past two days? Is...you preparing to leave?"

Bai Ruofei turned another page of the book and said, "Yes."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then asked, "When do you plan to leave, Senior?"

Bai Ruofei did not answer.

Looking at her beautiful and aloof profile, Luo Qingfeng couldn't help but say, "At least, this junior should know the specific date, so that I can see you off, senior."

Bai Ruofei said coldly, "No need."

Before Luo Qingfeng could say anything more, he saw her indifferent expression and thought to himself: Senior Bai wants to go to the Snow God Palace, but perhaps she doesn't want others to know for the time being. If outsiders or her family find out, there will probably be all sorts of gossip and rumors.

Having thought this through, he didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that it was getting late and that Nightingale and the others were still waiting downstairs, he had no choice but to bow and say goodbye, "Then this junior will take his leave."

As he reached the top of the stairs, Bai Ruofei suddenly spoke up, "Have you forgotten something?"

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and said, "What?"

Forgot what?

He thought about it carefully, but it seemed he couldn't quite remember.

Bai Ruofei remained silent for a while, then said, "If you don't remember, that's fine. You can leave now."

Luo Qingfeng said, "Senior, could you please give me a hint?"

Bai Ruofei lowered her head to read her book and ignored him.

Luo Qingfeng looked puzzled. After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up and went downstairs while thinking about it.

Upon exiting the library, he saw Zhang Cuicui and Liang Feng standing under a large tree opposite him, seemingly waiting for him.

Seeing him come out, Zhang Cuicui quickly waved and said, "Senior Brother Luo, over here!"

Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to walk over.

Liang Feng smiled and said, "Senior Brother Luo, tonight our group of new disciples is having a gathering at Yunxian Tower outside to celebrate for you and Senior Brother Lin. Do you have time, Senior Brother Luo?"

Zhang Cuicui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Luo. We ran into Senior Sister Ye and the others when we came over, and we've already spoken to them. Senior Sister Ye agreed, and they're already waiting at the main gate."

Luo Qingfeng did not refuse and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's go together then."

Although he didn't really like those kinds of occasions, they were all teammates after all, and he would see them in the hospital in the future. Moreover, they might even go out on missions together in the future, so it was necessary to get together occasionally to cultivate their relationship.

If you are too aloof, people will probably gossip about you behind your back.

He wasn't afraid of gossip, but Nightingale might come to the North Campus too. Girls need to make friends; they can't always be alone like him.

Since Nightingale has agreed, let's go.

The group left the North Courtyard together and arrived at the main gate.

Lin Yun and his group were already waiting at the main gate.

Dong Miaomiao was standing on the other side with Aya, talking in hushed tones. When she saw Luo Qingfeng, she quickly said, "Sir, your master's wife went home to cook for your grandmother first. She will be here soon. We were going back too, but your master's wife told us to wait for you here."

Zhang Cuicui quickly said, "Senior Brother Luo, you can let Grandma come over for dinner too."

Luo Qingfeng said, "No need, we'll go."

After exchanging a few more words, the group headed together toward Yunxian Tower in the south of the city.

at the same time.

On the sixth floor of the library, shortly after Luo Qingfeng left, a girl in a white dress came down from upstairs.

She went to the window, looked at the beautiful woman who was staring blankly at the table, and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "To be honest, I find it a bit unbelievable. I thought that guy was fighting so hard because of the three requests you promised him, but who knew he actually forgot..."

"Sister, you must be very disappointed, right? I bet you've already decided in your heart that you're prepared to agree to any of his requests, including... cough cough, some unreasonable requests, right?"

Bai Ruofei remained silent, her gaze slowly drifting towards the window.

The setting sun lingered on the horizon for a long time before finally sinking below the horizon, and the boundless night instantly enveloped the entire city.

Nightingale bought the vegetables and returned to Pear Blossom Lane, only to find a large crowd gathered there.

The house at the very end of the alley was engulfed in flames and billowing thick smoke.
