Forsaken Immortals
Chapter 259 - The Childish Headmaster
Canglan City was bustling with life, and while everything seemed ordinary on the surface, undercurrents had begun to turn chaotic beneath the idyllic front.
Many of the students that attended the Blue Water Institute were looking at this institute as a way to advance in life.
Their own ability, be it background or talent, was not enough to propel them into the upper classes in the cultivation world, and thus they had to work much harder to gain a foothold in the immortal world.
The tournament had been the most suitable way to show off one's might, but now two of these reserved spots had been taken by Dongfang Yu and Bai Rouyun.
Dongfang Yu was already famous throughout the Blue Water Institute as he had come from a higher ranked academy, but due to him losing his mind to beauty, he had decided to stay behind and keep Bai Rouyun company.
The fact that he had been given one of these quotas was not a problem as everyone accepted his strength and ability, but they were not as understanding when it came to Bai Rouyun.
Bai Rouyun had been placed in the lowest ranking class upon arrival, and her performance had always been questionable, as no one had seen her fighting with all her might.
As such, they all felt that she was not suitable to attend the tournament on their behalf, they felt that she would make them humiliated and embarrassed.
Even so, none of them dared to say anything to the institute leaders or to Bai Rouyun herself, because even if her strength was questionable, her background was extremely powerful.
Bai Rouyun was well aware of these unhappy rumors that were spreading wildly throughout Canglan City, but she had no intention of caring.
She understood their worries, but since the Blue Water Institute had decided on using her as a candidate, they had to handle the negative impression it would bring upon themselves.
As for her reputation, she did not care much. She had been known as a mentally disabled child for many years, and while she had managed to regain her sanity due to her marriage with Li Moyun, she still understood that most of these people still looked down upon her in secret.
As such, why should she bother with trying to convince them otherwise when their real thoughts could not be influenced?
"Should we make a statement to explain why we have decided upon using Miss Bai? I understand that you are able to see her hidden strength, but the other students are not, and the public opinion is getting worse and worse."
The one who spoke was one of the older teachers that had been at the Blue Water Institute for many years. He had never before seen the students have such a poor impression of how the Headmaster handled such important matters, and he feared that these matters would leave a lasting influence on the institute's future.
The Headmaster shook his head.
"Even if I were to make a statement, others would not believe it, and they would feel that I am merely making up a reason to justify my decision. I feel that it would be more suitable for us to simply let it go. After she will have attended the tournament and her results will be returned to us, we can easily slap these unhappy students with reality."
The older teacher was shocked and could not help but swallow the words that tried to flow out of his mouth.
In fact, he was also rather unhappy with the decision of picking Bai Rouyun as their candidate, but he also knew the mentality of this headmaster.
Although he was an elderly man, he had the mindset of a young boy. The more someone wanted to tell him that something was impossible or wanted to protest, the more eager he was to show them that it was indeed possible, and maintain the troublesome situation going.
The Headmaster of the Blue Water Institute was not originally from this area having come from the center of the continent, but he had been too good at frustrating the geniuses and thus had been deported to this godforsaken place.
The tournament was the most likely chance for him to stand tall and prove to his peers that he was no longer just a troublesome person who could not guide talents into becoming geniuses.
Although the headmaster had a childish personality, he was still able to understand the importance of this competition.
The reason he had picked Bai Rouyun was because he saw a light in her eyes which made him convinced that she would be able to bring him honor.
Although he did not care about his banishment to this area, he still wished to show those old guys that he should not be forgotten, and he was already giggling when thinking about their stinking faces as Bai Rouyun trashed their students.
As for whether or not she was capable of winning over these other geniuses, the headmaster did not care, nor did he have any confidence.
However, his institute was already expected to be defeated in the first round, so even if it failed, he would not be the one that would be on the losing end.
For each extra expert beaten, he would feel happier, and thus he was already looking forward to the chaos that Bai Rouyun might bring to the center of the continent.
In fact, he was not really bothered with the tournament at all. This tournament was not a place where their Blue Water Institute could succeed in getting first place, so instead he hoped that Bai Rouyun would cause a great amount of chaos, and mischief. The more chaos she caused, the more entertaining this tournament would become.
