Chapter 252 - Offering A Position


The teacher looked at Bai Rouyun with eyes ablaze with fury. It was clear that he wished to rip her apart and drink her blood, but he still tried to hold back his urges.


He understood better than anyone that although Bai Rouyun merely held the identity of the Eternal Shadow Lord's wife, he could not attack her in public.


Even so, he felt that she was very unlikeable, and her behavior made it seem as if he had lost his prestige as a teacher, hence he was thinking of the most suitable way to punish her without taking the risk of offending the Eternal Shadow Palace.


"Student Bai, your attitude towards your teacher is wrong. Although your identity might be more noble than mine, you are still my student, and thus you have to give me the required respect.


"I understand that you might be unwilling to let a normal citizen like myself teach you, but your moral character is truly lacking. You have to reconsider your attitude towards others, or many will begin to doubt whether or not the Eternal Shadow Palace is worthy of their reputation."


The teacher seemed to be awe inspiring and righteous. He resembled a scholar who did not care for his own life, as he tried to teach a young woman the right path of life.


Many of the students in the class looked upon this teacher with respect and reverence, but a few of the more intelligent ones could not help but curl their lips in a mocking smile as they lowered their heads.


Some of these experts were talented by birth. Their ability was no less than that of the descendants of the more famous families, but their achievements would never be able to rival the noble born children, as their background could not sustain the amount of resources needed to cultivate.


Bai Rouyun noticed the self-mocking gazes of these students as they lowered their heads, and instantly understood their mind. She completely ignored the teacher, as she rubbed her chin, deep in thought.


"Xu Liangwei, Wang Qinghai, Chen Qiang, are the three of you willing to join the Eternal Shadow Palace?"


Bai Rouyun made a decision on the spot, as she looked at three of these students who had great talent, but lacked the resources to progress.


Although the Eternal Shadow Palace had never previously recruited members with families, Bai Rouyun was no longer that stuck on one's external conditions, nor did she feel a need to group people in boxes depending on certain aspects.


She looked at the three of them, and noticed that during the time she had been at the Blue Water Institute, they had been working harder than most others, and they had never participated in bullying other students. To them, the most important thing was to increase their strength.


Such experts were exactly what the Eternal Shadow Palace needed. The reason that Li Moyun had focused on orphans before was simply because of their tenacity and desperation to live and improve, but it was not only orphans who had this type of mind.


The three boys mentioned by Bai Rouyun were shocked upon hearing her calling out their names, and all of them raised their heads and looked at her with hesitation.


None of them were dumb, in fact, they were among the most intelligent students in class, so they did not rush to answer. They had long since understood that when things sounded too good to be true, then it was likely the case.


Although they had no animosity towards Bai Rouyun, they also did not have much goodwill either. To them, she was merely a classmate with an outstanding identity, but not anyone they would have much contact with.


How could she suddenly decide to ask them to join her faction? And a faction that was basically impossible for others to join at that.


Although they did not speak, Bai Rouyun understood their worries. She knew that they did not fully trust the offer she had put forth, but she did not blame them, instead she nodded her head approvingly. It was indeed three very good seedlings.


"Do not worry, I have no ulterior motives." Bai Rouyun could not help but tap her chin, a little embarrassed as she spoke. She felt as if she was an old woman giving candy to children in an attempt at kidnapping them, and then saying that she was not a bad person.


"Li Moyun asked me to try and take over some of the responsibility of the Eternal Shadow Palace. I have the ability to invite experts to join the faction, and while he prefers to accept orphans due to their tenacity and strong will to improve, I do not feel that only those without parents have the ability to shine.


"The reason that I am mentioning the three of you now, is that I have been observing you all during the time I have been here, and you have truly made me admire your ability and thirst for progress.


"I believe that if I am to accept the three of you, you will be able to stand out and become true powerhouses in the future.


"Even without the Eternal Shadow Palace behind you, your future might not be bad, but with our resources, I believe that the three of you can become more than just ordinary strong experts.


"There is naturally a price for this. I need you to swear a heavenly oath that you will never betray the Eternal Shadow Palace. At the same time, your families will also be protected, and if you fear for their lives, we will also be able to take them to live in our headquarters."
