Rebirth of the Strongest Empress

Chapter 2299: Selection Trials (2)

“Heaven knows where he has been recently. I dont think Ive seen him in three months. Since he had that new teacher, hes been absent for entire days. Did you know that when I went to find him a few months ago, he told me not to disturb his cultivation… I nearly died laughing.” One of the Leiting family youths grinned.

“I think this is a good thing. Now that hes absorbed in his own world, he seldom stirs trouble in the academy. Otherwise, we would have to keep cleaning up his mess.”

“Youre right. If not for the Clan Masters instructions, with his lousy skills and antagonistic character, he would have been beaten to death already.”

The Leiting family youths couldnt help smirking as they talked about Lei Yan.

Although they came from the same clan, they looked down on Lei Yans mediocre talents and bullying manner. The only reason they protected him was because they were instructed to do so by the Clan Master and because of Lei Yans status as the clans young master.

“I heard that the elders are questioning the Clan Masters favoritism toward Lei Yan. If Lei Yan is kicked out of the Netherworld Academy, the Clan Master will no longer have any excuses…”

“Thats right. Its fine that the Clan Master favors Lei Yan and invests so much of the family resources to groom that useless boy… Its fine if Lei Yan tries his best and shows some results, but we all know what kind of guy he is. If the Leiting family lands in his hands, we will only be following in the footsteps of the Qin family…”

“Oh yes, didnt we hear that the academy was supposed to kick him out? Why hasnt there been any news since?”

“Who knows? Perhaps the Inter-Academy Competition selection trials are taking precedence and this matter has been pushed to the side for the time being.”

“I think the academy might be having second thoughts about kicking him out.”

The youths chatted when a voice suddenly rang out beside them.
