Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 84: Nature Zhen The Open
Three weeks passed. Today was the day where the door to the Zhen Yang Realm opened. Some people are very excited to wait for this day to come. About three hundred inner and outer disciples gathered in the forest behind the Imperial Academy.
Zhang Yu was also already present there with Wu Zetian, Tang Yue and He Jiao. They looked impatiently waiting for the appearance of the door to the Zhen Yang Realm, especially Wu Zetian.
"Tang Yue, when will the door to the Zhen Yang Realm appear?"
She asked Tang Yue for being more experienced. But Tang Yue did not know for sure.
"Two years ago the door appeared by noon. But listen, two years earlier, that door came up in the afternoon. So no one knows for sure when it will appear. Therefore we are placed here just in case."
Wu Zetian clucked then said with a sneer. "I thought you'd know. It's the same."
Tang Yue's forehead frowned upon hearing the wit. His eyes looked at Wu Zetian sharply and undeniably showed his fist. "Basic fat! If you don't like to talk directly in front of me. Don't just mumble like a woman."
The fat word made Wu Zetian very angry. He wanted to avenge her but it was already preceded by the arrival of the seven princes that attracted the attention of all the disciples there.
"See look! Will the seven princes enter Zhen Yang Realm?"
"Two years ago only four princes entered. Looks like now the seven of them will be coming."
As the seven princes walked, all eyes centered on them. Some even try to curry favor in search of attention.
"First Prince, Seventh Prince ...." No one escapes their sweet words. But none of them ended up being pushed.
Wen Bailou laughed laughingly at the stupidity of all the selfless disciples.
The esteemed and talented princes how could possibly be willing to deal with the trash. Wanting to be considerate of course must have qualifications, and he clearly has those qualifications.
With high confidence he advanced step by step. When he was in front of the seven princes he took the initiative to greet as if he knew them.
"First Prince, Second Prince ...." He called one by one without missing.
The few disciples who saw Wen Bailou's demeanor felt that he was very lucky to have known the seven princes.
But a few seconds after, the praise about Wen Bailou instantly disappeared after seeing the seven princes pass him by just like that. Not even returning a familiar greeting from him.
The sound of laughter echoed from the crowd of disciples. This spontaneously made Wen Bailou's face flushed in embarrassment.
"Silence!" snapped it. Wen Bailou really wanted to leave there right then and there to hide his face. But in the end he just shook his head while staring at the backs of the seven princes.
Xuan Wu, while walking a quick glance behind looked at Wen Bailou. He sneered at the manner of asking his first brother. "First Brother, do you know that disciple?"
"No,"
Hearing the indifferent reply, Xuan Wu turned to Xuan Yin. "What about you, Seventh Brother?"
Xuan Yin did not respond. Even asking a few times still does not respond.
Xuan Wu frowned and gradually followed where his gaze was headed. The look on his face became complicated when he saw the four-man group consisting of two men and two women.
"Seventh Brother, are you finally able to like women? Which one's your type? Right or left?" Xuan Wu suddenly became excited. The youngest brother who is famous for being cold and disliking women finally got enlightenment.
Xuan Yin instantly halted the steps of hearing Xuan Wu's question. His face became gloomy.
She's she? Likes women? Really ridiculous.
"Fifth Brother, rather than you talking you should prepare yourself before entering the Zhen Yang Realm."
Tsk...
Xuan Wu clucked while turning his face away. When he saw this group of four, he could not turn his attention to the familiar-looking figure of the man.
"Ghang ... Why is he here?" Xuan Wu recognized Zhang Yu. He patted Xuan Yin's shoulder and told her.
"Seventh brother, it seems like my speech at that time was correct. Zhang Yu is in this academy."
Xuan Yin's eyes were rounded hearing Xuan Wu's words. Before he said anything, Xuan Wu had already walked over to where Zhang Yu was.
They were wondering how could Zhang Yu know the fifth prince?
Zhang Yu was very calm. Reply to the greeting with a relaxed answer. "Of course remember it. How could you forget an important person like the fifth prince."
Xuan Wu laughed, then said, "You're still as attractive as before."
Their familiarity made the disciples praise Zhang Yu.
"Who was that disciple until Fifth Brother was so enthusiastic about talking to him?" ask the Third Prince, Xuan San.
"I don't know. And although Fifth Brother has an open attitude, but he will not carelessly invite people to talk. That's a sign this student is a little special."
As his brother continued to wonder about Zhang Yu, Xuan Yin opened his mouth to tell. "He is Zhang Yu."
"Zhang Yu?"
The five princes fused eyebrows together compactly when they heard his name. They kept repeating and trying to remember this familiar name.
"G ... Is it possible that she was the one that Father Emperor and Empress Dowager meant?"
"Really! His name was Zhang Yu. He's probably the one."
Xuan Yang, the first prince showed a serious face. His eyes carefully looked at Zhang Yu. "If it's really him who's been helping out at the palace, maybe later we should look for him to thank."
"Oh yes, Seventh Brother, it seems that you know him very well. Are you guys ...."
Before Xuan Yang finished his sentence Xuan Yin directly charged over. "Unacquainted. Just so happen to know."
Ow...
Xuan Yang no longer asked. He turned his attention to a group of aged men and women who were walking authoritatively.
"The elder has arrived! The elder has arrived!"
Some disciples exclaimed with excitement. Other than the outer court elders and inner court elders, the five master teachers and Wang Chen as the head of the academy were also not left present in the back forest.
"Ahead of the academy, when will the door to the Zhen Yang Realm open?" ask a student in the crowd.
Wang Chen took a deep breath before stroking his dense beard. "It won't be long. It'll be open soon."
Either coincidentally or indeed knew the timing of the appearance of the door to the Zhen Yang Realm, not long after his sentence, a space crack appeared between them.
Not so big and shaped like a piece of paper.
Wang Chen led the elders together to unify the power to open the crack forming a larger door.
With their effort and persistence, eventually the space crack that was like a tear of a straight line became a large door-shaped.
In that short time the entire disciple watched in astonishment. But a moment later they cheered with excitement because they could not wait to start the journey.
Wang Chen raised his hand asking all to prepare. Giving a few sentences as advice then allowing them to enter the portal to Zhen Yang Realm.
One by one they enter in alternately. In some time the bustling back forest only remained the elders and master teachers.
"Academy Chief, is something wrong?" tanya Ouyang Jun, one of the five master teachers and was the first prince teacher.
"Come, I just feel like something is wrong with the portal this year," Wang Chen replied as he stroked his beard.
The other elder who heard could not help but frown upon hearing Wang Chen's sentence. They took turns asking him.
"What kind of irregularity does the Head of the Academy feel? Why don't we feel it too?"
Facing this question Wang Chen could not give an answer. He remained silent for quite a while before finally shaking his head in a fit of resignation. "Maybe this is just my concern. No need to think about it anymore."
