The Legend of Futian

Chapter 9: The Written Examinations

Hua Jieyu sat down beside Ye Futian. This was the same Ye Futian who had opted out of exams for three years, gotten rejected by Feng Qingxue, and was about to be kicked out of Qingzhou Academy.

"What a lucky dog." Many people were very jealous. How come he got to sit next to Hua Jieyu his first time joining the Fall Quarter Examinations?

Furthermore, Hua Jieyu was sitting in an aisle seat, which meant that only one person had the privilege of sitting next to her. Seeing this opportunity given to Ye Futian, one could only imagine how the others felt about this.

Ye Futian could feel the hateful stares directed at him. He took a glance at the girl sitting beside him; she was sitting there silently, elegant and natural. It was as if she had no idea who he was.

This fox, she definitely did this on purpose, Ye Futian thought to himself. He had originally planned to participate in the exams quietly, but now he had become the center of attention for all the wrong reasons.

As more and more people gathered around, the area surrounding Hua Jieyu became the most sought-after seats. People glared at Ye Futian as they passed by. Then, a delicate-looking youth approached him and asked, "Can we switch seats?"

Ye Futian looked up, his eyes meeting with a boy about the same age as himself. His delicate face glowed with pride, his voice natural.

"It's Yang Xiu." Many people's attention was still on where Ye Futian's was. Yang Xiu had placed second in the written examinations for the past three years. He had always wanted to surpass Hua Jieyu and a lot of people knew he had a crush on her.

Yang Xiu had not only done extremely well in the written examinations; he was also extremely gifted. He was already on the seventh Awakening Plane, the Mystery Plane, his ability to perceive Fire Spiritual Qi was also at the highest level. He truly was a genius. Losing to Hua Jieyu only in the slightest bit, he was still one of the best outer sect disciples.

Ye Futian looked at Yang Xiu and thought, Wow, now that's rude.

"Of course..." said Ye Futian. The people around him were stunned. Was he really just going to give up that easily?

"...not," he finished. Hearing these three words, the smile on Yang Xiu's face was now frozen. He saw Ye Futian's smile; it looked like he was mocking him.

"I know you. You gave up on participating in any examinations for three years and are about to get kicked out of the academy. A person like you shouldn't be wasting time here." Yang Xiu was not mad; he was simply trying to mock Ye Futian back.

"But I want to." Ye Futian was still smiling.

"Then I hope that it won't be too embarrassing for you after the written exam," Yang Xiu laughed lightly. "But then again, it wouldn't be the first time."

After mocking Ye Futian, Yang Xiu gave Hua Jieyu a look before he headed back to his seat. He sat back down and got extremely serious, like a warrior before a battle.

"What a sad life." Ye Futian looked at Yang Xiu's silhouette with great pity.

Ye Futian's rejection did not shock anyone. This was what he really was: a legendary, arrogant loser. However, his legend would come to an end after this year's Fall Quarter Exam. Ye Futian was going to be expelled.

As the outer sect disciples entered, the official disciples surrounded the entire gymnasium.

There were three thousand tables, but only a little over one thousand people were participating in the Fall Quarter Examinations. After all, a lot of the first-year outer sect students lacked the confidence to get a decent grade. They knew it was difficult to do well, so they chose to opt out of the examination and keep a clean slate than to have a bad grade on their permanent record. However, to give up participating in the examination for three years like Ye Futian had done was simply unheard of. This was why he was a legend. Even the academy had had enough of him.
