Chapter 90: Chapter 90 The Legendary Chosen One

The visitor was Alicia Sharp, given that the Sharp Family itself had plenty of gossip.

The year Alicia’s mother passed away, her father married his current wife within just half a year, and along came a stepsister.

With a stepmother comes a stepfather, but fortunately, Alicia knew how to handle things clearly. She held tight to the property her mother left for her, with no illusions about so-called paternal love and affection.

The younger generation within the circle all thought she was both sharp and worldly-wise, and almost everyone knew of Alicia Sharp.

Hearing her speak, Lucas Jennings and a few other young guys immediately whipped out their phones,

"Is there any news online?"

"Did that Taoism Academy get exposed?"

During the day, netizens were searching everywhere for information about the Taoism Academy, yet no one could provide any answers, driving netizens crazy.

In such a setting, checking phones wasn’t proper etiquette, but Lucas and a few of the boys were young, naturally caring little about such rules.

As soon as they searched on their phones, their eyes widened with surprise.

Netizens dug deep, tracing from the account that initially posted the Taoist admission "Cloud-piercing Talisman," although they found nothing at first.

But by investigating mutual follows, they genuinely discovered a student suspected to attend Sea City Taoist Academy, and from there, unearthed a few other schoolmates.

Through analyzed snippets from their daily activities, they finally pieced together what this mysterious and bizarre Taoism Academy was all about.

Firstly, this school, whose name sounded steeped in superstition, was not some shady college. Rather, it had a top domestic certification and special state recognition.

Secondly, as previously described by the admissions teacher, the school’s annual tuition was incredibly cheap. Room and board costs were almost nonexistent, and they even issued students a monthly allowance of Talisman Paper and Vermillion.

Thirdly, the academy was one of only three in the nation that did not accept self-enrolling students, allowing entry only by invitation, and admitted no more than thirty students per year.

Fourthly, based on various mountain-top cloud photos and captions posted by an alumnus, the school was located in the mountains, potentially spanning an entire mountain.

Fifthly, the school was not governed by the education bureau, with classes focused on mysticism and geomancy, and daily lessons on drawing talismans and geomantic calculations.

Reading through the online summary point by point, Lucas and the boys were stunned.

What kind of immortal cultivation school was this??

Further reading online comments showed they were in complete uproar.

[Capital University’s Sweetheart: Is this the legendary immortal school?! My soul for The Legend of Sword and Fairy is already eager!]

[South of the South: I’m just asking, is there still time for me to restudy and apply again?]

[Don’t Fall For Sis: To the one above, please see the third line. They don’t admit students through self-enrollment. Only those invited can attend.]

[My Apollo Milk Tea: Isn’t this the legendary school that only the Chosen Ones can attend? Surely mysticism exists in the world!]

[Rhino Girl: This is literally my dream school! Can I cling to Top Scorer Jennings’ leg and go to school with her? I’ll pay my own way!]

[Don’t Hit Me: Let me hitch a ride with the one above. Does Boss Jennings need an auxiliary leg? I’m fat and can eat.]

[Whatever: I used to wonder what kind of unthinking person would attend such a school, but now I see, oh, it’s not them not thinking, it’s me not being worthy.]

It must have been that Lucas and the boys’ reactions were too dramatic, prompting other younger guests to sneak peeks at their phones.

Afterward, everyone’s eyes gradually widened, then various looks of envy and complexity turned toward Scarlett Jennings.

It wasn’t that they envied the school’s environment or the appealing costs, but the fact that common people couldn’t get in, only the Chosen Ones could. That intrigued them.

After all, in their social circles, whatever it was, it all had to be exceptional.

Otherwise, those exclusive clubs that charged millions for memberships wouldn’t exist.

Were those clubs truly unique?

No, it was because ordinary people couldn’t get in.

Moreover, although many claimed not to believe in geomancy and mysticism, in reality, they hoped such things existed.

Especially among the big names present, who firmly believed in geomancy and mysticism, subconsciously holding those with real skills in higher regard.

And now, Scarlett Jennings clearly commanded that higher regard.

Old Sir Jennings never expected that one day, a Jennings family child would be looked up to by others for something like this.

Not because she was a Jennings, but because of her own ability.

Old Sir Jennings bore a very peculiar expression.

Seeing that the guests at the banquet all focused on Scarlett Jennings, Azura Loomis, and Adam Jennings, even Anthony Anson, the main characters almost became mere background.

Azura’s hand clenched subtly on her knee.

She couldn’t understand how a Taoism Academy, once scorned by everyone, suddenly became so coveted.

Even their glances began to change.

It’s just geomancy and mysticism; is it really that impressive?

She earned direct admission, yet no one expressed envy. Adam and Anthony, who gained entry to top universities on their merit, were also ignored.

One might mistakenly think Scarlett was the sole main character at today’s Teacher Appreciation Banquet.

What she didn’t know was that at first, everyone despised it, thinking it was a superstitious scam school.

But when the Internet confirmed that the school wasn’t a scam and might even be state-certified for real geomancy and mysticism, everyone naturally regarded it differently.

After all, no one could guarantee they would never need such skills in the future.

No one could refuse forming an early connection with someone who could potentially become a skilled master.

Azura suppressed the resentment in her heart, glancing at Adam with feigned ease,

"Earlier, when we thought Scarlett’s choice of the Taoism Academy was frivolous, now it seems, that academy might even surpass the schools we chose."

Adam had been irked ever since the scores came out, putting Scarlett ahead of him, and even though he was a main character at today’s Teacher Appreciation Banquet, he felt publicly shamed.

After all, he was a proper Jennings family member, someone everyone held in high regard.

Yet he lost the exam to someone obsessed with talismans.

Regardless of the fact she dealt in talismans, choosing such a school seemed to trample on those who saw top domestic universities as their initial goals.

So, even if that Taoism Academy turned out not to be the illegitimate school they thought it was, Adam wouldn’t truly find it impressive.

"A school promoting mysticism and superstition, how can it compare to top domestic universities? The current hype is just a gimmick."

The higher they are raised now, the harder they’ll fall in the future.

All he had to do was wait for the day she’d fall.
