Chapter 2439
Zhu Yanyi watched the scene with a grin. As long as they helped with the work, a few words of teasing didn’t matter.
“This helps you connect with the ground,” Yan Aohan said. “You are the Black Emperor. If you stay high above everyone, people can’t understand you. What’s the point? It’s better to do things like this and feel the earth.”
“Who says I have nothing to do? I can take my wife to film dramas across the three thousand worlds,” the Black Emperor said with a smile.
The Empress added, “Filming all the time is boring. It’s better to occasionally try being a teacher or a dean.”
She raised her eyebrows slightly. The Black Emperor quickly agreed, “My wife is so right. We should do more of this.”
“Flattery,” the Immortal Emperor said directly from the side.
“I think it’s good,” the Immortal Empress said. “It shows the Black Emperor is connecting with the ground. You should learn from him too. Being a lonely Immortal Emperor is no fun.”
The Immortal Emperor nodded quickly. “My wife is right. No matter what, we must connect with the ground. Living high above is not for humans.”
“Anyway, you are not humans,” Zhu Yanyi said calmly from the side.
The Black Emperor, Immortal Emperor, Empress, and Immortal Empress: (⊙o⊙)…
Yan Aohan smiled and organized some papers. “There are seven thousand test papers here. Everyone, please start grading them.”
The Black Emperor glanced at Yan Aohan and saw his purpose immediately. “You just favor your wife.”
“Nonsense. She is my wife. If I don’t favor her, should I favor you?” Yan Aohan looked at the Black Emperor with disdain. He truly looked down on her.
The Black Emperor was speechless. Well, he deserved it. He shouldn’t have asked such questions. Now he was just looking for trouble.
Zhu Yanyi giggled. Days like this, with occasional bickering, were actually quite nice.
Seven thousand test papers didn’t take six people three days to grade. They finished in about two days. On the last day, they checked the totals.
The Immortal Empress said, “It took us six people three days to finish the total scores for these seven thousand papers. I wonder how busy the others will be with the remaining thirteen thousand.”
Although Zhuge Hongwen had two more helpers, the number of papers had nearly doubled.
Zhu Yanyi said, “We should have announced the results five days later. Now we know, we need more time. Three days is too tight.”
Doing anything requires accumulating experience. Zhu Yanyi complained but accepted it quickly.
Yan Aohan seemed to remember something. He took out a solar-powered laptop. “I think we are really stupid. I forgot I had a laptop.”
Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. The Black Emperor and the other four also looked at her.
Yan Aohan raised his eyebrows, feeling no guilt. “I really forgot. I just remembered.”
“You remembered at the perfect time. Only after we finished everything. You might as well not have remembered,” the Empress said coldly.
Yan Aohan smiled lightly. “It was a mistake. I mainly use this computer for Underworld matters. Since there wasn’t much work, I didn’t think of it. To be precise, I forgot. I just remembered.”
Yan Aohan’s casual attitude angered everyone. Zhu Yanyi stepped back three paces. She decided not to get involved this time.
The Black Emperor and the Immortal Emperor chased Yan Aohan around. No one knew the result, but when they returned, the three were chatting and laughing happily.
After three days, the liberal arts competition results were out. Zhu Yanyi paid attention to the child named Cui Wan. Her score wasn’t excellent, but it was good. She ranked eleventh. Now it depended on the practical scores.
The practical scores were divided into martial combat and other subjects. Martial combat came first.
The servant disciples started first.
Currently, there were eight thousand servant disciples, eight thousand outer sect disciples, and seven thousand inner sect disciples. The Azure Sovereign Sect had a total of twenty-three thousand disciples.
The servant disciples’ combat was to help them understand their current self-defense level. Although they were servants, they were still disciples in the Azure Sovereign Sect. They just hadn’t reached the cultivation level to become outer sect disciples yet. But everyone worked hard.
Most importantly, servant disciples could still attend classes. Since they were new, most classes were basic.
The servant disciples’ martial combat wouldn’t be too slow, but they still needed to be careful.
The initial combat was easy. They drew lots to pair up.
White numbers were one group, red numbers another. Same numbers fought each other. Because there were so many people, the first round of servant disciple combat took ten full days.
Zhu Yanyi watched later and felt she didn’t need to supervise the preliminary rounds. Except for the first day, she let Zhuge Hongwen represent her.
Zhuge Hongwen was now the Vice Sect Master.
Zhuge Hongwen realized Zhu Yanyi was very happy being a hands-off boss. But what could she do? She could only watch. She could never be a hands-off boss herself.
After ten days, the four thousand losers received a score of fifty.
Then the remaining four thousand continued fighting.
Half of these losers received fifty-five points. The remaining two thousand continued. One thousand were eliminated, scoring sixty.
Then one thousand eliminated five hundred, scoring sixty-five. Five hundred eliminated two hundred fifty, scoring seventy. Two hundred fifty eliminated one hundred twenty-five, scoring seventy-five.
One hundred twenty-five eliminated sixty-three, scoring eighty.
Next, sixty-two eliminated thirty-one, scoring eighty-five.
Thirty-one eliminated fifteen, scoring eighty-seven.
Sixteen eliminated six, scoring ninety.
The remaining ten entered the final ranking. From first to tenth, scores ranged from one hundred to ninety-one.
After this batch, the servant disciples’ martial combat scores and rankings were out. After twenty days of assessment, they rested and waited for the outer and inner sect disciples’ assessments.
The outer and inner sect disciples were eliminated in the same way. Although simple and rough, it was very effective, so no one was dissatisfied.
