Chapter 671 – Rejected Entry
Along with the words of Lu Huaiyan the people looked at each other and seemed to understand that this was truly a feast of Hongmen.
They could easily imagine that now they had arrived at the Lingyin College, they would become the subject of provocation and ridicule.
The royal family had already been unrelenting, not to mention their college had already lost twice in a row, almost no one were optimistic about their college this time.
Under the leadership of Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo, Baili Hongzhuang and the others finally arrived at Lingyin College.The white gate was big and magnificent, the gold-plated four characters* shimmered in the sunlight. From this alone one could see the strong financial backing that the college had.
“This Lingyin College is really different. After being sponsored by the Qing Dynasty, even the door is made so special, much more refined.” Cui Haoyan smiled and said with emotion.
By just looking at the gate, he could guess that everything within Lingyin College had been made with a mountain of money.
In contrast, Canglan College was indeed much simpler.
Everyone had different feelings as they observed Lingyin College.
However, just as they were about to enter the gate, a small guard stepped forward. “Who are you? Only students of this college is allowed to enter.”
“We are from Canglan College and has come to participate in the College Tournament,” Fu Hongbo explained.When the words fell, Fu Hongbo was ready to enter the college, but the guard was still blocking the entrance with his body.
“How do I know if you are from Canglan College?” The guard looked at them with ridicule and sneered.
Fu Hongbo frowned slightly. “So how do we prove it?”
“Take out your identity token,” the guard said, “we will not let every cat and dog enter our Lingyin College just because they want. They have to see if they are worthy!”
Hearing the words of the guard, the expressions of everyone’s faces turned ugly. The guard was clearly saying that they were not worth enough to enter Lingyin College.
Fu Hongbo and Lu Huaiyan looked at one another, and although they saw the anger in the other’s eyes, they did not flare up.
“Identity token? What kind of identity token?”
Lu Huaiyan’s eyes flashed with doubt. Before no one had said anything about needing identity tokens to enter the college.
Last time they came to the college there was not anything like this either, did the Lingyin College change these past three years?
“Proof that can determine that you are from Canglan College,” the guard smirked as he had no intention of giving Lu Huaiyan an answer.
“Then inform your principal, he knows us and will be able to prove our identity.” Fu Hongbo endured the anger as he said.
The guard wanted to mock them futher and looked at Fu Hongbo. “Just by you? What makes you think you have the right to see our principal? He is always very busy, if everyone asked to see him he would have no time for anything else. Get out if you can’t find a proof of identity, don’t stand here and block the door, it will damage the reputation of the Lingyin College!”
Seeing his mocking expression he successfully ignited Dongfang Yu and the other’s anger. “Even a guard is so arrogant, it is simply unbearable”
Fu Hongbo also felt anger and wanted to end it right away.
*Lingyin College is 4 characters in Chinese – 灵隐学院
