Without a doubt, Hou Xin was a smart man. Apart from Chen Sixuan, he was the first among the group of students to acknowledge Ji Dong as a valid teacher. However, this led to collective scorn from the other four male students, led by Purple Morning Star. Of course, they weren't fools, no one, including Purple Morning Star, dared to suggest dueling Ji Dong again.
Including the teachers, the majority of hundred-plus teachers and students were intensely curious about Ji Dong's abilities. They had never seen Ji Dong display the Yin Yang Crown.
Chen Sixuan didn't let Ji Dong's rough and cold demeanor deter her. She continued to bring him food and wine during every rest period, and no longer spoke to him to avoid disturbing him. Ji Dong never refused the wine and accepted it without ceremony, but never touched the food.
