Chapter 342: Chapter 273: Showing No Mercy_3

“For now, let’s leave it at that. I do like holding an office, but I’m not fond of managing things. Let’s operate the student council as per his previous rules.”

Chen Mobai’s words were very straightforward. Hua Zijing and the other two nodded their heads. This is what was agreed upon before Zuo Qiushi left.

“By the way, Chairman, here is the big list and schedule for attending the exchange meeting. Please check it.”

Hua Zijing handed over a document, originally intended for Zuo Qiushi’s approval. However, the latter had made a run for it and left the decision to Chen Mobai.

He glanced at it and noticed that some names were highlighted in red.

“These are the candidates that the Daoist Academy decided on. They must be included.”

Hua Zijing’s words were very tactful, and Chen Mobai spotted both his and Meng Huang’s names in the document.

In other words, these were people with connections, and the student council couldn’t do anything about it.

Initially, Chen Mobai, who had little interest in the matter, perked up at the sight of the page with the performance schedule.

“Is this the program list for the millennial celebration? How did you guys get it?”

“The overall director of the program is our academy’s team leader, Teacher Bian. He asked us to help maintain order during the performance. At that time, the majority of our student council will be deployed.”

Chen Mobai didn’t care about that. He wouldn’t object to the entire student council being deployed.

What piqued his interest was seeing that the start of the millennial celebration program featured Meng Huang’s solo performance of “Like a Dream Order.”

“Is rehearsals happening every day?”

He asked.

“Recently, it’s every day, but as we approach the millennium celebration of Crimson City, the frequency may gradually decrease to prevent accidents.”

“As the newly appointed student council president, this is the first order of business. The millennium celebration involves the upper echelons of the immortal gates and student groups from the other three Daoist Academies. It concerns the overall image of the Daoist Academy. I believe it’s necessary to do this as well as we can.”

After Chen Mobai finished reading, he closed the document in his hand and spoke with gravity.

“What… does the president mean?”

Hua Zijing seemed uncertain and asked, frowning.

“During the program rehearsal, I will personally lead the team to maintain order.”

Chen Mobai disclosed his plan. With a few more listens to Meng Huang’s song during his “Merge Spirit Into One” practice, he should be able to master it.

Hua Zijing and the others didn’t overthink it. They felt that their new leader was setting an example, first showing himself in the most challenging and tiring positions to win their favor.

“I was originally in charge of this, but since the president is interested, I can take a rest.”

Shen Renyou nodded and immediately handed over his position.

When Chen Mobai returned to his wooden house, it still dazzled with rainbow lights.

By that time, Meng Huang had completely let go of her reserve and had immediately sent a message over.

[You said you were going to have a magic duel with Zuo Qiushi. How did you end up being the student council president?]

[He lost to me in a magic duel and was defeated by my demeanor. He believes that among Daoist Academy students, only I am eligible to succeed him. I was initially not planning on taking over, but his constant persuasion made me change my mind. He said that without me, no one in the Daoist Academy could compete against the chiefs of the other Daoist Academies. Alas! With the reputation of the academy resting on me, how could I ignore such a heavy burden? Wouldn’t that betray the kind teachings of our esteemed teachers? I had to step up. ]

Chen Mobai spoke based on facts, slightly exaggerating his own achievements.

However, Meng Huang’s response made him feel cheated, as if he was stuck in a scheme by Zuo Qiushi.

[Certainly, the previous years Zuo Qiushi managed to suppress Zong Zi from Jumang Daoist Academy, Ling Dao teacher from Repairing Heaven Institute, and Taishi Shu from Kunpeng Daoist Institute using his higher realm. However, this year, it is said that all three have broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment while he has shown no progress. He would definitely not win. Seeing you as a magic duel prodigy, he made a strategic retreat and removed himself from the situation.]
