The Class Tournament

That day, Tang Wulin didn't return to the Academy. Xie Xie said Tang Wulin got some work to do that he got suddenly, and needed to stay back.

"Boss is really busy with Tang Sect these days. Does he plan on becoming an inner court disciple already?", Xu Xiaoyan wondered.

Gu Yue didn't speak much as usual. Her head was filled with thoughts. She was still wondering if Wulin was avoiding her because of the recent incident.

The next day, early morning, Tang Wulin didn't return. The group of five went to class without him.

Shen Yi did the role call, and was surprised that Wulin wasn't present. She looked at Wu Zhangkong, who did not speak, and just wore a cold expression as usual. She proceeded with class as usual. This again left a bad impression on the class.

"Boss is ruining his image", Xie Xie said.

"His image in class was already not that good. He never bothered interacting with anyone, so those list guys are taking up all the popularity ", Ye Xinglan deduced.

By the end of the class, Shen Yi was about to make an announcement, but then a knock was heard, attracting everyone's attention.

By the door, with a bun in his mouth, a panting Tang Wulin was seen. His uniform wasn't too disheveled but he was sweating a lot.

"Class President, you are late for class again. Do you have an explanation? ", Shen Yi asked, in a strict tone, her arms folded.

Tang Wulin gulped down the whole bun in one go, and raised his hand in apology, "I am sorry Ms Shen. I had some urgent work to attent to. I already notified Elder Cai ".

'How are you still alive?!', was the question that Shen Yi, Wu Zhangkong and his friends wanted to ask, but didn't voice it. They all knew how bad the relationship between Tang Wulin and Elder Cai was.

But that wasn't the thought of rest of the class. They thought the school and Elder Cai were showing favoritism towards Tang Wulin.

How wrong they were...

Tang Wulin returned to his seat, greeting his friends, and sat next to Gu Yue as usual. Gu Yue passed him a bottle of water, which he gulped down half the bottle, without bothering it was Gu Yue's own water bottle, and returned it. Gu Yue didn't seem bothered, but the rest of the group wore complicated expressions.

"Now, there will be a Class tournament for First grade. The winning team will get a chance to compete against second grade in an interclass competition, which will evaluate tram match and the second profession ", Shen Yi said.

"Luo Guixing, Tang Wulin, your request for forming separate teams have been approved. But Ye Xinglan is not allowed to participate in the class match ", Shen Yi announced, and the last part surprised everyone.

She and Wu Zhangkong walked out. Tang Wulin's group wanted to protest, but Tang Wulin dismissed it, stating it wouldn't be fair, considering Ye Xinglan was a former inner court student.

"Oh, are you saying you could beat us easily if she participated?", a cocky sounded behind Tang Wulin. It was Zheng Yiran.

"You're not as dumb as I thought ", Tang Wulin replied calmly, not bothering to turn around.

"You you...", Zheng Yiran's face was red in anger, while rest of Tang Wulin's group couldn't help but break into laughter.

"Is the class president that confident? They how about we do this? Would you like bet on your role as class president?", Luo Guixing said, in a loud enough voice for whole class to hear, still wearing his schematic smile.
