Chapter Thirty: Dare to negotiate conditions with a saint?
Chapter 30: Dare to negotiate terms with the saint?
"Your Majesty!" Qin Keqing slightly opened her delicate red lips, looked at Li Xingyun with a pair of frightened peach blossom eyes, and called out in a low voice.
Li Hongying was also incomprehensible. She frowned and asked, "Li Xingyun, that's a saint from the Holy Court. You don't want a future. How dare you make conditions with the saint?"
To be personally invited by a saint to enter the holy courtyard is the highest honor for scholars.
You are not even grateful enough, but you still dare to make conditions to the saint?
Everyone present, except for everyone in the Ye Mansion who was pinned to the ground by the saint's pressure and unable to move at all, everyone else looked at Li Xingyun in horror.
This is not a scholar, he is simply more vulgar and direct than a martial artist.
"Is it possible that this guy thinks that he is proud of his talents and wants to take advantage of the saint by writing a war poem that will be spread all over the world?"
"It's so presumptuous! Even a great Confucian would not dare to ask for conditions from a saint. He just wrote war poems that would be passed down to the world. He might have the opportunity to become a great Confucian in the future. But after all, he is not a great Confucian, and he has just stepped into the realm of child life. How dare he
So rude and presumptuous!”
"This Li Xingyun does things without careful consideration and makes unexpected moves again and again. He is really too arrogant and arrogant."
"What kind of status is a saint? You can't agree to him, right?"
Everyone's eyes wandered back and forth between the phantom of the saint in the sky and the bowing figure of Li Xingyun on the ground, wanting to know the result.
After a while, the phantom of the saint stood in the air and said slowly: "What is your request? Please tell me and listen."
Li Xingyun looked a little embarrassed and said with great embarrassment: "Well, after I join the Holy Academy, I want to take a year off."
boom!!!
Li Xingyun's words, at this moment, are comparable to Juren's tongue-splitting spring thunder ability, like thunderbolts filled with the aura of destruction, penetrating back and forth between everyone's eardrums.
They were stunned, as if they were possessed by evil spirits, and their expressions were frozen in thought.
The whole place was silent, and one after another, one after another, stared at the young man standing in the middle with an awkward smile.
Take a year off!
Not to mention it is a holy academy, it is a Confucian holy place that scholars all over the world dream of staying in every day. Even if it is an ordinary academy, it is impossible to ask for leave for a year, right?
"If he takes a year's leave, what does he think of the Holy Court? Can he come and go as he pleases?"
"In one year, he really dared to speak like this. Did this war poem spread all over the world really arouse his courage without thinking about what he was saying?"
The first request was incomprehensible to everyone.
In fact, not to mention people who have little relationship with Li Xingyun don't understand, even people who are close to him and even know him don't understand.
"Your eldest son is too bold. How can you ask for leave for a year?" Li Hongying walked lightly to Qin Keqing's side, stared at Li Xingyun's back with him, and murmured in a low voice.
Qin Keqing also had a look of astonishment on her face, and she responded with a wry smile: "The prince is indeed different and very bold recently."
"No matter how bold you are, you can't tell the saint to take a year's leave. The saint personally invited him to join the Holy Court. It's better for him. He wants to enter the Holy Court but also wants to take a year's leave." Li Hongying looked angry and resentful. Although she didn't
They are willing to study, but they are also well aware of the mystery and majesty of the Holy Court. It is much more powerful than the Tiance Mansion, and it is also the place that is truly the leader in the world's cultivation system. Who among the scholars can refuse a place to enter the Holy Court?
She lightly rubbed Qin Keqing's shoulder and muttered: "You have an extraordinary relationship with your eldest son, please advise him."
Qin Keqing naturally felt that only by staying in the Holy Court could Li Xingyun get the best protection and avoid things like the previous incident where the royal lady sent someone to assassinate him.
But she did not try to dissuade her from the first word. Instead, she asked patiently and in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, do you have any concerns? The Holy Court is a holy place for scholars in the world, and there are saints sitting there, who can completely protect you as you grow up.
, now that you have written a war poem that is spread all over the world, even if you stay in the Holy Court all the time, you can step into the realm of Confucianism without any shackles. You can wait until you have completed your studies. Moreover, there are many strong people in the Holy Court. If the prince is defeated again.
If a great Confucian and Taoist man is accepted as his personal successor, he can also ask them to go to the palace to bring back the young lady."
In Qin Keqing's mind, Li Xingyun's life safety is the first priority, so for her, this choice is the best way for Li Xingyun to grow up safely.
Li Xingyun knew that her thoughts were entirely focused on her own safety, but he didn't want to do that.
First, although the Holy Court could protect him and grow into a great scholar safely, it would take too long.
Secondly, if he stays in the ivory tower, even his literary courage will not be tempered in the most effective way, and it will definitely not be as good as the experience outside.
Thirdly, he needs to do the matter of taking his mother back by himself, because there is still an unresolved grudge between himself and the eldest lady in the palace. It would be great if the Holy Academy scholar can help, but he wants to take revenge personally.
Therefore, Li Xingyun looked seriously at the phantom of the saint who became slightly silent in mid-air because he asked for a year's leave.
The saint remained silent for a while before asking again: "Why do you want to take a year's leave? If you just want to go out to practice, the secret realms of experience in the holy courtyard are not much less than those outside. If you want to encounter adventures, the world's most precious treasure of Confucianism and Taoism
, it occupies nearly half of the Holy Courtyard."
"With your talent of writing two poems and articles of state-level and one world-level poetry in succession, it will be even more beneficial to practice in the holy courtyard."
That's for me under normal circumstances... Li Xingyun complained in his heart. The saint's vision is naturally not bad, but his poems and articles are destined to require him to travel all over the world and leave his footprints on every city in the mainland.
Only by feeling the countless prosperity within an inch of the mountains, rivers and land can the thousands of years of foundation in your mind be completely digested.
Otherwise, after entering the Holy Academy, he would just be like other Confucian scholars in the Holy Academy, accidentally getting a famous piece, and then meditating again and again.
Now, I have to take this leave.
"The students just had feelings about the battle poem and wanted to go into the sea and experience the transformation of the Kun fish into a Peng!"
For Li Xingyun, no matter what the reason is, as long as he can ask for leave, he can come up with any excuses he wants.
After the saint's shadow pondered for a moment, he finally gave the result: "If you insist on setting foot in the world, you will inevitably bear the corresponding dangers. The path is your own choice, and I can't interfere. I agree to this year's holiday."
"Thank you saint!"
"Tell me about your second request."
Everyone did not expect that the saint actually agreed to the first seemingly outrageous request, and also took the initiative to ask Li Xingyun to make the second request. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
Is it true that the original author of the world-famous war poem has such a great privilege?
But what is this second request? It can't be more outrageous, right? The way everyone looked at Li Xingyun was a little outrageous.
"I will leave Chang'an soon, and it will be dangerous all the way, but I still have worries in my heart."
Li Xingyun raised his head, looked up at the phantom of the saint, and said in a sonorous voice: "This disciple would like to ask the saint to allow Sister Keqing to enter the holy courtyard and find a quiet place for a temporary residence!"
After hearing these words, Qin Keqing hurriedly went to the saint's shadow and explained: "Sage, don't blame me, my heir apparent didn't mean this."
As she spoke, her eyes burst into tears, and she stared at Li Xingyun with her big, watery eyes. She bit her red lips and said, "You want to travel around the world, and I have no objection. I also know that you want me to have a place to settle down, so there's no need."
Always be on tenterhooks. But if you miss the opportunity to enter the Holy Court because of me, it will be my sin!"
She has brought Li Xingyun to Chang'an since she was a teenager. Although they are the heir and maid, they are like siblings even though they are far away from the palace.
Before, Li Xingyun was still young and focused on studying. Qin Keqing had prepared everything well, and there were few people who could protect her from the wind and rain.
Now, she sees with her own eyes that the child who was as small as a bean has become an unruly boy, shielding her from the wind and rain many times, and the softest string in her heart has completely loosened.
"The incident started because of me, and the danger is also coming towards me, but Sister Qing was originally implicated by me and is in jail. If I can't arrange this matter properly, how can I feel at ease."
If Li Xingyun's first request sounded a little outrageous to others, then this second request was completely outrageous.
Asking a saint for something, not for yourself, but for a woman?
Previously, there were rumors in Chang'an that the original author of the Mingzhou poem used the divinity of the poem to imbue his maids, but now he spoke to the saint on behalf of a woman.
Such behavior is disrespectful to scholars!
The aloof saint was quite surprised by this request, and was slightly surprised for a while.
But then he still said: "There is a place for the disciples and their families to live in the Holy Courtyard. It is okay to stay temporarily, but the disciples need to be admitted to the hospital."
"I need you to do something. If you complete it, I will exempt you from this restriction."
Li Xingyun asked without hesitation: "Please enlighten me!"
"In one month's time, it will be the day of the Hidden Sword Villa's Famous Sword Conference. Hidden Sword Villa invites cultivators from all walks of life to participate, and sword stickers are sent to all major forces. The Holy Academy has no intention of participating in the battle of famous swords, but cultivators from all over the world
, the bustling competition for killing is actually internal friction. I want you to win the famous sword of Hidden Sword Villa this year! If you succeed, this request will continue."
What if it doesn’t work?
The sage didn’t say it, but everyone should know it well.
This forced Li Xingyun to rush back to the Holy Academy to practice in advance after failing to win the famous sword.
"Disciple agrees!"
Li Xingyun agreed first. As for what happened to the sword competition, we will talk about it at that time.
Li Hongying, who was standing aside, saw that Li Xingyun agreed so quickly, and she raised her head in pain and said: "Li Xingyun, do you know how difficult it is to win the famous sword in that famous sword tournament? My father's cultivation as a fifth-grade martial artist back then
Everyone who participated lost."
"..." Li Xingyun was silent for a second, looking at the saint in mid-air.
Saints are not thin-skinned either.
He likes to set up routines and wants him to quit when faced with difficulties and return to the Holy Academy to practice after a month? This not only satisfies his curiosity to travel around the world, but also leaves time for the Holy Academy to cultivate a good seedling.
