Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 84: Assessment 1

"Brother Yuan..."

"Mmmh." Zhen Yuan nodded, and Shen Xu shuddered.

’It turns out I am not seeing things.’ He thought.

Dongfeng Jing was a big man.

He was almost one hundred ninety centimetres tall, was lean and had a handsome face.

However, the man was oddly...put together!

At a glance, he wore a pink robe and white boots.

Most conspicuous, his hair was tied in an elaborate princess braid, his face was heavily made up, and his lips were painted a brilliant red.

Looking at the person, Shen Xu was reminded of modern-day drag queens.

’I didn’t expect the academy dean to be a queen.’ The double thought.

"Shen Xu..." Song Wancheng called.

"What’s the matter?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"You should be careful of the academy Dean." Song Wancheng warned.

"Why?" Shen Xu couldn’t help but be confused.

"Rumour has it that senior Dongfeng doesn’t like beautiful doubles." Song Wanqing said.

"How come?"

"You can’t tell but in fact, senior Dongfeng is a double." Song Wancheng started.

Hearing this, Shen Xu was shocked.

Generally, there were fewer doubles than men and women.

Nevertheless, Shen Xu had met a few since he arrived on the Canglan continent.

However, including himself, all the doubles he had met were petite and leaned towards beautiful than handsome.

For that reason, he was surprised to learn Dongfang Jing was a double and not a man.

"Doesn’t he have a pregnancy mole?" Shen Xu asked, subconsciously touching the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows.

"His mole is dull and almost invisible." Song Wancheng sighed.

"Is that why he hates ordinary doubles?"

"It’s not just that." Song Wanqing began.

"As we mentioned, he comes from a big family in the Tianxuan continent. Consequently, he was betrothed at birth."

"However, the older he grew, the more handsome he became. Eventually, his fiancée broke the engagement and married Dongfang Jing’s younger brother."

"Let me guess, the younger brother is a beautiful double?" Shen Xu asked.

"You guessed it." Song Wancheng said and continued.

"If you are not careful, you will soon be hated by a powerful peak-stage golden core realm cultivator."

"His dark past has nothing to do with my XiaoXu. If he dares to do anything to my wife, I will ensure he can never return to the Tianxuan continent." Zhen Yuan said, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

When Song Wancheng heard this, his lips twitched, and a knowing light flashed in his eyes.

’It seems I guessed right. Zhen Yuan is a golden core realm cultivator.’ He thought.

At the same time, Song Wanqing narrowed her eyes and lowered her head.

A moment later, a girlish voice resounded in the academy square.

"The assessment will now begin." Dongfang Jing said.

After that, he flew to a raised platform and took his seat.

Similarly, several elders flew over and sat around the academy dean.

When the leaders were seated, the Deputy Dean of the school of martial arts flew onto the main competition stage.

"Qi refining realm students of the martial arts school, come to the stage." Song Shan said.

Following that, thousands of students rushed onto the stage.

"The rules are the same as previous years." Song Shan started.

"Each of you will take part in five fights. Those who win three out of the five fights will pass the assessment. Those who don’t will fail. Depending on the circumstances, the losers will be held back for another year or demoted to a lower year."

"Sounds fair." Zhen Yuan said.

"If a martial artist can’t win three out of five fights against opponents of the same realm, he shouldn’t be a martial artist." Song Wancheng said.

"Senior brother Ruan Ning is among the martial artists. I don’t know if he will be okay?" Shen Xu wondered.

However, Ruan Ning was more capable than Shen Xu expected.

Although his performance wasn’t excellent, he passed the assessment with four wins and one loss.

On the fourth day, the foundation establishment realm cultivators finally came onto the stage.

’There is no suspense here.’ Shen Xu thought, and things turned out exactly as he expected.

In the next two days, Xiao Weimin overwhelmed everyone and easily ranked first in the martial arts assessment.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan narrowed his eyes and clenched his hands.

’I must perform better than Xiao Weimin.’ He thought and subtly glanced at his wife.

’XiaoXu must admire me the most.’ He decided.

After the martial arts assessment, it was time for the alchemy assessment.

In the school of alchemy, Shen Xu knew Bai Guo and several Shi children.

Looking at the people, Shen Xu sighed.

It was more than nine months since Shi Qiao died.

Since the Shi cousins were still alive, Shi Qiao’s parents had failed to avenge their daughter.

’It doesn’t matter.’ Shen Xu thought.

’When the time comes, I will send them to reunite with Shi Qiao.’

"Shen Xu, what level alchemist are you?" Song Wancheng asked, but the double didn’t answer.

Instead, he showed a mysterious smile and looked at Song Wancheng.

"Guess." He said.

Although Shen Xu was a level three alchemist, he had only refined some common pills and the soul-replenishing pill.

However, this was not due to a lack of trying.

Rather, it was because he lacked enough spirit grasses to practice.

Even with Manager Zhang’s help, Zhen Yuan only bought a few stalks of level-three herbs.

After using them, Shen Xu was all out and could only wait for manager Zhang to find more or the ones in the space to mature.

’What a hard life.’ Shen Xu thought.

"Level three." Song Wancheng guessed, and Shen Xu couldn’t help but stare in surprise.

"How did you know?"

"Are you really a level three alchemist?"

This time, Song Wancheng was the one in shock.

"Didn’t you guess it?"

"I was speaking randomly."

When he heard this, Shen Xu rolled his eyes.

’This guy really looks down on me. I will show him.’ He thought, and a creepy expression appeared on his face.

Seeing the expression, Song Wancheng shuddered.

’Why does Shen Xu keep showing that expression? It’s scary.’ He silently complained.
