Chapter 65: Disciple
“Old man, so you finally came back?” The director of the Plant Cultivation Institute, Situ Xiu, looked at the man in front of him with a teasing look in his eyes.
“Why? can’t I take a break?” Chen Bai smiled helplessly. It was impossible to tell that he was almost 150 years old just by looking at his handsome face. However, one could tell that he had a calm temperament.
“Come on, I what you’re like.” Situ Xiu raised his eyebrows and teased, “Were you playing in the Magical Region again?”
Chen Bai could be considered the number one person in the current plant cultivation world. He had a unique and incisive view of plant cultivation. In fact, the first normal plant in the Federation was personally cultivated by him. Although this normal plant only had a short lifespan of one year, just this alone was enough to elevate Chen Bai to the altar.
However, this fellow did not seek fame and fortune. He frequently traveled between the various demon regions, hoping to observe the growth of the demonic plant at close range. Therefore, other than a few top-notch bigwigs in the cultivation world, they knew his true appearance, the others had only heard of his name and had never seen him before.!!
“Since you’re already here, why don’t you stay here for a few months and teach some students?” Situ Xiu had always wanted to bring Chen Bai to school, but he had not succeeded. Now, he did not forget to bring up the past again.
“Don’t!” Hearing this, Chen Bai quickly shook his head. “You know that I’m not interested in this.”
The two of them chatted happily, and suddenly, there were knocks on the door.
Situ Xiu frowned slightly. He had already said that he was going to meet his close friend. Usually, no one would come to disturb him. “Come in, what’s the matter?”
“Dean, I’m sorry to disturb you.” The person who came was a teacher in charge of the selection. There was a hint of embarrassment and anxiety on his face. “The- the selection of the Plant Cultivation Institute has been forced to stop!”
“What?” Situ Xieyebrows shot up. “What’s going on?”
“There’s a contestant who got a full score on the practical test! Everyone…” Before the person could finish his sentence, Chen Bai stood up with a bang. His eyes were filled with astonishment. “Someone got a full score in practical?!”
Chen Bai was the person who came up with the content of the practical test. Therefore, he knew the difficulty of the test very clearly. Even he might not be able to make a correct judgment, let alone get a full score!
For a moment, Chen Bai’s eyes could not help but be filled with curiosity. He looked at Situ Xiu and said, “Let’s go and take a look!”
At this moment, the Plant Cultivation Institute was in a mess. Wave after wave of protests resounded through the sky.
On the other hand, Mo Chu, who was at the side, acted as if she did not hear anything. She was playing happily with the pet in her arms. Mo Yang’s tall body stood at the side like a guardian.
“What’s going on?” Situ Xiu frowned when he saw this scene. He shouted and the scene instantly quieted down.
“Alright.” Situ Xiu’s expression relaxed when he saw this. He turned to look at the man in the lead. “Tell me, what’s going on?”
The man was a little excited when the dean of the Plant Cultivation Institute personally called out his name. His face was flushed red, but he also explained the whole incident clearly.
“So, you now suspect that Mo Chu cheated in the practical test?”
Chen Bai, who was behind Situ Xiu, used the angle to cover himself up and stared at Mo Chu curiously.
After all, he had lived for a few more years, so Chen Bai was quite good at judging people.
The little girl just stood there quietly. Her eyes were clear, but her slender back was straight. No matter how you looked at it, she did not look like a person who would cheat.
“Yes.” The man nodded. “We hope to release the video of the practical test.”
The exam room was equipped with surveillance cameras that recorded videos and videos for archiving.
“This…” Situ Xiu frowned slightly. To be honest, when he first saw Mo Chu, he could not help but be surprised. This girl was only 16 or 17 years old. Could she even recognize all the thousands of magic plants, let alone get a perfect score? Even so, he could not casually release Mo Chu’s video. After all, this was related to her reputation.
“It’s okay, just release it.” At this moment, Mo Chu suddenly raised her head and said casually.
This fearless look made others a little puzzled. Could it be that she really got a perfect score based on her ability?
Very soon, Mo Chu’s practical video was made public. Just as Chen Bai had expected, there was no problem at all. Everything was normal.
It was only at this moment that the doubts of the crowd completely subsided. The eyes that looked at Mo Chu were filled with shock. She was too amazing!
Picking one or two magical plants might be luck, but picking a whole ten plants was definitely her skill!
“Little girl, can you tell me why you picked these magical plants?” Chen Bai had walked to Mo Chu’s side, his tone was curios yet sincere.
“Hmm…” Mo Chu naturally could not tell the truth, and could only mumble, “It’s just a feeling.”
“Feeling… ?” Looking at Mo Chu’s clear eyes, Chen Bai could not help but mutter something, as though he was deep in thought.
The Federation had been researching magical plants for a very long time, but relatively speaking, they did not produce many results. Even so, tens of billions of Federation Coins were still invested into them every year. It was all in the hope that one day, they would be able to return to normal plants.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Chen Bai’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Are you willing to learn from me?”
At this moment, the thought of taking in a disciple suddenly arose in his mind, and he blurted out these words.
“Oh…” Mo Chu was slightly stunned. “You’re a teacher from the Federation Military Academy?”
“Umm…” Chen Bai’s face froze. Sensing Situ Xiu’s amused gaze behind him, he finally nodded. “Yes.”
The examinees at the side frowned slightly. Understanding the situation of the teachers in the plant cultivation academy was already homework they had to do before the examination. It was just that this person… They did not recognize him. Could he be a newbie professor they had just hired?
Everyone did not think highly of him. However, Mo Chu suddenly nodded and agreed with a smile, “Sure!”
Even Situ Xiu was shocked. He thought that Mo Chu already knew Chen Bai’s identity. However, from her actions, it did not seem like it.
“Alright, then you can be considered my disciple!”
Just as he finished speaking, an excited female voice sounded, “You are Chen Bai’s disciple, right? Can you consider accepting me too?”
In an instant, these words caused a large commotion!
