44.Chapter 44 Eldest Young Master Miss Xia is gone!
The night is hazy and everything is silent...
At the gate of Yecheng, on the battlefield that had just experienced a battle and had not yet had time to clean up, a dark shadow flashed furtively.
Through the cool moonlight, you can vaguely see the outline of the petite body, rummaging for something on the bodies of the dead.
"That's it."
Weighing the things in his hands, he muttered with some dissatisfaction.
Then he raised his head and looked at the slightly white fish belly in the sky, and without much pause, he immediately ran straight out of the city.
early morning.
Takiyue sat elegantly in front of the dining table, resting his chin on his hands, his green eyes slightly drooped, not knowing what he was thinking.
Upstairs, Qin Zheng ran downstairs in a panic, panting and said hurriedly: "The eldest young master is not good, Miss Xia...she is missing!"
"Yes." As if it was something expected, the lowered eyes were raised slightly, without any expression of surprise.
"Does the eldest young master know?"
"I guessed it." Takiyue pointed to the seat opposite, "Unfortunately, the kitchen made her favorite Linglong Bao today. You can sit down and eat with me."
Qin Zheng couldn't figure out what his eldest young master was thinking for a moment, and he felt a little uneasy, but he still sat down, picked up an exquisite bag and took a bite.
There was no bickering between Xia Chuyi and Long Yue in the early morning, and the rare quietness made Qin Zheng a little unaccustomed to it.
He secretly raised his head and looked at Longyue, and cautiously asked: "Young Master, do you want me to send someone..."
"No need." Taki Yue wiped the corners of his mouth, his expression as calm as usual.
He stood up gracefully, wearing a fiery red robe, as gorgeous as fire.
"Didn't you get a letter from home? Get ready and go back to Yancheng."
"Ah? Yes." Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment. After regaining consciousness, he directly stuffed the remaining half of the bun in his hand into his mouth.
The eldest young master of his family is really becoming more and more stylish in his speech.
"Boss, thirty thousand spring noodles!"
Sitting down at a small stall, Xia Chu wiped the sweat off his forehead one by one, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and quickly made a ball with Yang Chun noodles.
She packed her luggage overnight and sneaked out of Yecheng without telling anyone.
Originally there was no need to be in such an embarrassing situation, but when she thought of the way Long Yue looked at her, she always felt like she was going to be sold into slavery... Her intuition told her that that evil man was very dangerous, very dangerous.
!
The wind was blowing and the clouds were gone, and the three bowls of Yangchun noodles were gone in a blink of an eye.
Xia Chuyi took out a few taels of silver that he had picked up while passing by the city gate, paid the dough, and stood up to leave.
However, just after taking two steps, she stopped. Then when the noodle stall owner's mouth twitched slightly, she turned back and said with some embarrassment: "Boss, you'd better cook me another bowl.
"
When I sat down again, another group of people came to the noodle stall.
There were seven or eight men in their twenties, all dressed similarly. They looked like spiritual cultivators from a small family, or some casual cultivators.
After they called each other, they sat together and talked, with excitement on everyone's face.
"You have all heard, right? The Emperor's Master Academy has begun to recruit external students for the first time this year, which means that we all have a chance!"
"You're just dreaming. There are only ten spots in total. I'm afraid that the entire Wuji Continent will squeeze their heads to get in. The one who will be chosen in the end will definitely be someone with extremely high talent and strength. Just you? Level 5 of the Soul Gathering Stage.
?You’re not worthy enough to carry someone’s shoes!”
"Why do you talk like this!"
"What did I say? I told the truth. The Imperial Master Academy has always only admitted children of the royal family and children of big families. Is that something we can reach? Not to mention the princes and daughters of the Xuanyuan Dynasty and the young masters of the seven big families.
Ladies, do you know how many small countries are affiliated with Xuanyuan and small families affiliated with the seven major families? Hundreds and thousands! If you choose ten among so many people, you will never have a chance to return to your mother's womb and come out again!"
"If you don't have a chance, you don't have a chance. Can't you just let me think about it for a while? Eat noodles, eat noodles, hurry up!"
Next to him, Xia Chuyi had already finished the fourth bowl of noodles, gave the money, stood up and left, already having an idea in his mind.
Imperial Master Academy sounds quite advanced.
Go try it.
Action was better than excitement, and he inquired all the way. Within a few days, Xia Chuyi found the registration point of the Imperial Master Academy in a larger town.
but--
Under the scorching sun, the queue in front looked like a long queue, and it looked particularly scary.
Xia Chuyi reached out and touched the man in line in front of him, and casually said, "Brother, are you here to sign up too?"
The man in front turned around and rolled his eyes at Xia Chuyi: "Do I look like I'm here to buy groceries?"
Xia Chuyi shrugged.
They don't look like they're buying groceries, but more like they're making soy sauce.
"Brother, with so many people signing up, how many places are there?"
"one."
"So few!" Xia Chuyi looked at the number of registration teams in front of him, which ranged from a thousand to a few hundred, and for a moment he felt that this world was so exaggerated.
When the man heard Xia Chuyi's voice, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at her: "At first glance, he is from a small place. He just came to join in the fun without knowing anything."
Xia Chuyi was not annoyed and asked with a smile, "Then please tell me, brother."
"You think it's just a matter of choosing one here? It's still too early. The higher-ups stipulate that each city can nominate one person, and then the top ten will be determined through a comprehensive assessment in Yancheng, and that will be the final quota to enter the Imperial Master Academy. Like
For a little guy like you who doesn't even have all your hair, you'd better go home and eat more meat to grow your body."
Xia Chu listened as soon as he heard it and just smiled without commenting.
It was almost time for the sun to set before it was their turn. The eldest brother in front was so smooth when scolding her, but when they just asked her his name, he immediately became so scared that he couldn't even speak.
The person who registered was a handsome man. He shook his head and waved to tell him not to come.
Then, it was the turn of the first day of summer.
"name."
"The first day of summer."
"age."
"Fourteen, maybe fifteen, maybe sixteen."
The man raised his head and glared at Xia Chuyi. Seeing her small body, he directly filled in the number thirteen on the registration book.
Xia Chuyi raised her hand to rest her forehead. Thank God, the man didn't fill her in as ten years old.
"Put your hands on the crystal table." The man said in a matter-of-fact tone without raising his head.
There is a crystal block the size of a washbasin on the table, with a recessed palm groove on it, which is a simple crystal testing platform.
Xia Chuyi didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand and pressed it directly. While doing as he was told, he asked: "Brother, are the food and accommodation at the Imperial Master Academy free?"
For a poor person like her, this was actually a more important issue than entering the Imperial Master Academy.
The man who was registering carefully raised his head and glared at her, obviously thinking that she was here to cause trouble: "You idiot!"
Just as he was about to wave people away, he saw a faint silver-white flame steaming up on the testing platform. On the crystal platform, a few words gradually appeared from blur to clarity - Spiritual Person Level 1.
