476 The Storm of Enrolling Students IV

Bie Tianxin was rather surprised. He hadn't imagined Tang Thirty-Six wouldadmit the matter straight away. He mocked, "Although your way of doing thingsis extremely unpleasant, you're actually quite open about it." Then he turned to the students with a smirk and declared, "All of you heardit." The young students instantly fell into a panic. Some students who werepreparing to apply but hadn't yet filled out the forms took advantage of themoment when no one was looking to move towards the edge of the crowd. Thosestudents who had already handed over their forms suddenly paled and becamefilled with regret. One student rather nervously looked at Chen Changsheng andstuttered, "Sir…you see Sir…the form that I just filled out…can I take it back?" "Of course you can take it back," Tang Thirty-Six heard that youth's voice andreplied without looking back. With his eye still fixed on Bie Tianxin, hewarned, "However, the people who withdraw now will never again have theopportunity to enter the Orthodox Academy." And then the tips of his brows leapt upwards as he laughed, saying, "And toevery student of the Orthodox Academy, I swear on His Holiness's character thatthey will not be disturbed in the slightest when confronting the challenges ofthe schools." Upon hearing those words, the hands of those students reaching to take backtheir forms paused on the table. The Orthodox Academy would actually swear anoath on His Holiness's name? And this person appears so relaxed, could it bethat it's not as bad as that person said? Bie Tianxin sneered, "Blades and swords have no eyes, so how can you guaranteethis? Or are you planning on playing another of your petty little tricks?" Tang Thirty-Six mockingly replied, "To a person as lacking in wisdom as you,it's naturally easy to mistake everything that you see for a petty trick." If Tang Thirty-Six really had been planning on playing a petty trick, thenwhen Bie Tianxin had declared to the crowd that the Orthodox Academy'senrollment concealed evil intentions, it was completely possible for him toresolutely and decisively deny it. As for what would happen after he hadtricked these students into entering the Orthodox Academy, it was completelypossible for him to discuss it when the time came. But he did not. Instead, headmitted that the new students admitted into the Orthodox Academy wouldrepresent the Orthodox Academy in the All-School Martial Exhibition as wasright and proper. When confronting these condemning and difficult-to-explain attacks, to be openwas often the most powerful weapon. This was a part of the great wisdom of anobleman. The facts were proof that many people were willing to accept thisopen-mindedness. Some students, after thinking it through a few times, stilltook back their application forms from Chen Changsheng. However, many studentsbelieved in Tang Thirty-Six's promise, or perhaps they did not dare to doubtthe Pope's character. Although some of them were uneasy, they still continuedthe application process until its completion. Soon after, more youths began tocome up and place themselves in the line to apply to the Orthodox Academy. Seeing that his words had not achieved too much, Bie Tianxin put on an uglyface. Turning to Chen Changsheng, he said with disdain, "In the future, if theyare not cheated, then they should be giving thanks to me for what I said justnow. And now that I think of it, you lot should be quite angry right now,seeing that your sinister motives were exposed by me. In the future, if youplan to use these students again, I'm afraid that I'll have to bring you moretrouble." Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-Six looked into each other's eyes, both ofthem truly furious now. The Orthodox Academy's enrollment of new students was naturally related to thepressure placed upon it by the Tianhai clan, but they had absolutely neverharbored any intention of using these students from the counties and thecountryside. They had clearly not harbored such evil intentions, but this hat had beenplaced on them against their will; this was a condemnation. And this sort of thing never required facts. It only required a few words toplant suspicion in the minds of other. It was the most difficult to refute andalso the easiest to be angered by. "I know that you must be very angry now, but…you can only bear with it,because none of you is my opponent. Even that wolf cub lying within theOrthodox Academy also lost to me in the past." Bie Tianxin looked at ChenChangsheng with an indifferent expression, asking, "And you? When are youprepared to lose to me?" "Truly worthy of being Bie Tianxin who can completely calculate the minds ofmen." Tang Thirty-Six walked in front of Chen Changsheng and asked Bie Tianxin, "Ireally want to know if you can calculate just what I plan to do next?" Bie Tianxin perked his eyebrows. His curiosity piqued, he ventured, "You wantto fight me in a match?" "I can't beat you," Tang Thirty-Six very honestly admitted. Bie Tianxin was in a very pleasant mood. Chuckling, he said, "Then I assumethat you can only taunt me with a few sentences, saying a few sour words to me." Tang Thirty-Six shook his head. "I've never done that sort of thing." Bie Tianxin's brows rose even higher. He really was very curious, wanting toknow just what sort of response this youth could come up with in this sort ofsituation. Tang Thirty-Six got up close and gave him a serious look as he said "." His voice was very soft and the surroundings were quite noisy, so besides himand Chen Changsheng, only Bie Tianxin could hear it clearly. Bie Tianxin thought he had not heard it clearly. His eyebrows reached evenhigher as he asked in confusion, "What did you say?" "I said……" This time, his voice was a little louder, so there were even more people whoheard those four words. The noise and discussion instantly ceased. As the area around the OrthodoxAcademy fell into complete silence, all eyes were fixed on Tang Thirty-Six. Especially those stewards and the experts of the Tianhai clan. They knew ofBie Tianxin's identity and origins, so the gazes they shot at Tang Thirty-Sixwere even more shocked to the extreme. Bie Tianxin's face was extraordinarily unsightly and his eyes flashed withbrutality, almost like he wanted to devour the person before him. Tang Thirty-Six stared at him and seriously asked, "Aren't you the one whocompletely calculates the hearts of men? Then did you or did you not calculatewhat I would say to you?" Bie Tianxin narrowed his eyes and a killing aura gradually began to emanatefrom his body. The voice that oozed out from the gaps between his teeth wasincomparably cold. "Say it again?" "Are your ears no good?" Tang Thirty-Six seemed rather surprised, then said,"Then you have to listen clearly this time: F**k. Your. Mother. C**t." The area in front of the Orthodox Academy was dead silent. Bie Tianxin was wrathful, but he smiled, the derision at the corner of hislips having been completely transformed into ice. "So it turns out that youwere looking to die." Chen Changsheng walked in front of Tang Thirty-Six, blocking Bie Tianxin'sgaze. He did not like Tang Thirty-Six's foul words, but when he thought of thoseloathsome and condemning words uttered by this person, he was forced to admitthat only Tang Thirty-Six's type of response was useful. This was what wasmeant by the saying, 'Tactics are useless before absolute strength, foul wordsdefeat wisdom'. Moreover, Tang Thirty-Six was putting himself out there forboth him and the Orthodox Academy. So no matter how inappropriate the wordswere, even if they were incorrect or would bring great troubles to the OrthodoxAcademy, he still had to stand together with Tang Thirty-Six. It was just thathe could never have said such foul words, and only calmly declared, "His wordsalso express my position." Then it was also the Orthodox Academy's position. Bie Tianxin cooled down, which actually made him even more dangerous. Itseemed like a frigid sword intent was about to break through his clothes. Chen Changsheng felt like he was seeing Guan Bai on the street again, swordintent flashing across the eyes and a threatening sharpness about the person. "So it turns out that the both of you were looking to die." "I don't want to die," Chen Changsheng declared, "but if you had not provokedus, the situation would not have gotten so ugly." Bie Tianxin turned to Tang Thirty-Six, a smirk on his face, asking, "When yousaid those four words, could it be that you never inquired about who my motherwas?" If it was an ordinary person who had not known of Bie Tianxin's origins, theywould assuredly inquire on his background after hearing these words. If theydid know of his origins, who would dare say foul words referring to his parents?
