Chapter 440: Chapter 109 Karen’s Genealogy, Derailed Tang Dun_1

By the time Zheng Qing had adjusted the focus of the telescope and found Old Yao, nearly a minute had passed.

The professor’s face was as composed as ever, showing no trace of impatience or annoyance.

This left the young scholarship student somewhat disappointed.

"I wonder what trouble the student council has caused," he muttered, twisting the telescope towards the stage, hoping to see something different.

As the school’s Hunting Committee opening ceremony was drawing to a close, the atmosphere on the stage began to liven up. Many guests took off their hats and were whispering to each other, discussing something.

The brass telescope slowly scanned over the seats on the stage, one by one.

Then it turned back and scanned them again.

"Does anyone know where Su Shijun is sitting, and in which row?" After searching unsuccessfully, Zheng Qing couldn’t help but shouted.

His question was greeted with laughter from the boys.

Several of the girls in the front row turned around and looked at him curiously.

"I was just curious!" Zheng Qing insisted, his face growing hot. He decided to continue looking through the telescope, avoiding the teasing gazes of others.

"I also want to know where she is sitting," Xin Fat Man said, standing up with difficulty, stretching, and sighing, "However, the Hunting Committee refuses to notify the Campus Newspaper editorial team... They say, if one person in the editorial team knows, then the whole school will know... which will hinder the Hunting Committee’s subsequent arrangements."

"Spot on," Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses.

"Absolutely," agreed Zhang Ji Xin, nodding repeatedly.

This made Fat Man’s face darken somewhat.

"I heard from my family that the beauty Su was delayed coming to school because of an incident," said Li Meng, leaning on the back of the seat in front of her, excitedly interjecting into the conversation of the boys, "It seems the Duke of Karen and Prince Tabbot were fighting over her pregnancy again, so she went to mediate!"

"She went to mediate?" Xin the Fat Man asked in a strange tone, "The two men were fighting over her... and then she went to mediate? This whole process seems, um, a bit absurd."

"The term ’quell’ would be more fitting here," Li Meng corrected him, "Our lovely Su has just formally passed the evaluation of the Great Wizard Council and became the youngest senior council member of Under the Moon. As for the useless nobles from Karen and Tabbot families, they are not even close to becoming a great wizard. So, once Su gets there, she can suppress each of them with just a slap!"

As she said this, Li Meng swung her short arms with dominance, her face full of longing, as if she were the queen suppressing two advanced pure-blood creatures with a wave of her hand.

"The Duke of Karen?" Zhang Ji Xin questioned loudly, "Which Duke of Karen? There should be five or six members from the Karen family who hold the title of Duke."

"It should be the youngest of the three Karen brothers, Matthew’s uncle, Duke Milton Karen." Xiao Xiao analyzed with interest, "The legendary head of the Karen family, John Hugh Karen, has three sons. The eldest followed his father’s rebellious path and married the daughter of the Black family, their arch-enemies. They are the parents of Sir Friedman."

"John’s second son, Angley, followed his father’s wishes and married Princess Lindsay from the O’Brien family, inheriting John’s position as the head of this generation’s Karen family."

"Duke Milton is John’s third son and was born quite late... He neither has the courage to rebel like his older brother nor the rigorous style of the second brother. By the general consensus, he inherited John’s flirtatious nature."

"So, this is why that old vampire dares to pursue our beautiful Su?" Li Meng had been listening with interest, but when Xiao Xiao got to this part, she flared up all of a sudden, widened her eyes, and growled angrily, "How dare that dead thing defile my goddess!"

""Meng Meng!" Unable to restrain herself any longer after hearing the young witch carelessly rattling off, Jiang Yu reached out and pulled her back, scolding, "Don’t say things without basis! You’re a college student now; what you say out there represents more than just yourself!"

Zheng Qing quietly looked at the little witch.

The other male witches also silently looked at the little witch.

Everyone watched her with a bizarre gaze.

After all, a young girl proclaiming a mature beauty to be her goddess was somewhat of an unusual sight to behold.

However, since Jiang Yu was sitting by, everyone naturally refrained from making any inappropriate comments.

The atmosphere then lapsed into an unexpected, bizarre silence.

Fortunately, the speaker flowers constantly played music and the guide’s commentary, which to some extent alleviated this awkwardness.

After some time of commentary, Tang Dun’s voice had lost its initial nervousness and stiffness, becoming more enthusiastic and sonorous.

"He’s really cut out to be a guide," Zheng Qing thought, with a touch of envy.

Then, his attention was drawn by Tang Dun’s slightly emphasized words from the speaker flowers:

"... We now move to the swearing-in of the hunting teams... Each team needs to recite the ’Hunter Oath’ in front of this year’s Hunting Party organizer, President Yao of Jiuyou Academy..."

Old Yao went down?

Zheng Qing quickly turned his telescope, refocusing on the hunters at the end of the hunting ground under the row of flags.

"We can see the first one to come forward to swear the oath, the team leader of the First University Hunting Team -- Lei Zhe."

"The First University Hunting Team is a team with a long history and brilliant record! They once set a record in a university hunt by surrounding and killing seventeen groups of wild demons. They had also recorded the shortest time to catch the Hunting Committee’s appointed prey... The Hunting team of the university still holds the highest cumulative points for the ’Academy Cup’..."

"As a distinguished student of the First University, the student council president of Jiuyou Academy, the head of the First Will, Lei Zhe shouldn’t be a stranger to everyone here..."

"Under Lei Zhe’s command, there’s another remarkable hunting team, the ’Judgement Hunting Team’ of the First Will... Today, the Judgement Hunting Team also stands in the hunting ground... According to the arrangement of Hunting Committee, they will swear the oath at sixth place, right behind Atlas Academy..."

Perhaps because Lei Zhe comes from Jiuyou Academy and this year’s college hunting party is also hosted by Jiuyou Academy, the commentator arranged by the Hunting Committee also happens to be from Jiuyou Academy -- this has led Tang Dun to lavishly praise Lei Zhe over the speakers: from Lei Zhe’s vibrant expression, to his well-dressed appearance, to his two capable and battle-ready hunting teams under his command.

For more than ten minutes, the guide continued to praise this big shot from Jiuyou Academy in a variety of ways.

It wasn’t until someone next to him started coughing loudly to remind him that Tang Dun seemed to register, and he briefly introduced the teams following Lei Zhe.

His performance won a round of applause from the Jiuyou Academy stand, completely ignoring the protests of the other academies and the angry faces of the other team leaders.

The young wizards of Astronomy Class 08-1 were in stitches.

No one expected that the usually serious and strict classmate Tang Dun would have such a freewheeling moment.
