In the main hall, there is a thick and colorful exquisite carpet, with pleasing flowers, birds, insects and fish on it. It is soft and comfortable to step on.
"Sure enough, the treatment of 'Senior Sister' is much higher than what I get there."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
The tables and chairs in Yang Ji's residence are all sandalwood, and the tables and chairs and screens in Lin Qingyan's place are made of a higher-grade "red sandalwood". They look beautiful, elegant, solemn, and very exquisitely made.
Obviously, the Iron Crown Sect has strict differentiated treatment for disciples of different levels.
"sit down."
Lin Qingyan pointed at the ground and said.
Probably because of personal habits, there are very few chairs in Lin Qingyan's place. Instead, there are more than a dozen purple futons placed on the floor of the living room, which are very beautiful.
Yang Ji did as he was told, and soon a beautiful female disciple offered him Longjing tea brewed in a purple clay pot, and a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils.
Seeing the young and beautiful female disciples around him skillfully picking up the tea and sipping it with squinted eyes, Yang Ji sighed in his heart. In terms of enjoyment, this senior sister Lin was indeed much better than him.
Just when I was feeling emotional, I heard a familiar and elegant voice:
"Junior Brother Yang, I heard from Xiaohong that you are the leader of Wu Tongsheng in Pingchuan County, right?"
"Well, it's Pingchuan County."
Yang Ji nodded and came back to his senses.
"That's right. I have seen many talented martial arts students in the mountains over the years. Junior Brother's talent is indeed astonishing."
Lin Qingyan held the small white porcelain tea cup, a glimmer of light flashed in her wonderful eyes.
The hall suddenly became quite quiet.
The girls have been following Lin Qingyan for a long time, and they all know that Lin Qingyan doesn't like to praise others. The highest evaluation she gets from Lin Qingyan on weekdays is just "not bad."
"Amazing" is an exception. It is enough to show that the senior sister really has a special regard for this "newcomer" on Tieguan Mountain.
"Senior Sister Lin praised me."
Yang Ji said calmly, not thinking much about it.
Lin Qing smiled brightly and didn't say much.
"correct."
Lin Qingyan seemed to remember something unintentionally and said: "In fact, there are many disciples from Pingchuan County in the Tieguan Sect. Although the number is not as large as Qingchuan County, there are still some. If junior brother is free, you might as well try to contact them more
connect."
"Um."
Yang Ji said yes, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
As Lin Qingyan said, he had actually considered it. But in the end, he gave up the idea. Let alone whether he was hot-headed or not, whether others were willing.
His experience in Pingchuan County alone made him give up the idea.
Most of the "Wu Tongsheng" who can enter the sect are the children of the clan. Otherwise, they have a background like "Wang Xian".
He is not a "kid of a rich family" with a wide circle of friends, but on the contrary, he is an ordinary "kid of a clan" who has broken away and is not welcomed.
As the saying goes, "People with different paths cannot conspire against each other." It is difficult for people with different identities and backgrounds to come together. In fact, if it were not for the special experience created by the "Bloodshed in the Martial Palace", he would not even leave with Wang Xian and Duan Gang.
Come together.
Rather than rushing in and humiliating yourself, it is better to be realistic and down to earth.
This was also the main reason why Yang Ji gave up the idea.
"correct."
Yang Ji didn't want to get entangled in this issue. He immediately changed the subject and said:
"There is a question that I have always found strange. The imperial court should not allow women to participate in the martial arts examinations, but Senior Sister Lin seems to be a martial arts scholar. I don't know what is going on?"
This question was very important. Yang Ji originally thought that Lin Qingyan would pass it by, but Lin Qingyan's reaction was completely beyond his expectation.
"Haha, what's so strange about this."
Lin Qing smiled brightly, and in front of Yang Ji, she smoothed up her cloud-like hair with her white jade-like fingers and tied it back on her head, saying:
"Look now, do I look like a man?"
"ah!"
Yang Ji's eyes widened, his face full of shock. He didn't expect Lin Qingyan to reveal her secret in front of him:
"You, you...disguise yourself as a man?!"
Yang Ji really didn't expect that "women disguising themselves as men" has always been a taboo in the imperial court. Lin Qingyan actually had no intention of hiding it?
All the girls around laughed. It was obvious that they had expected Yang Ji's reaction.
"Okay. Stop making such a fuss. The court does not allow women to take part in the martial arts examinations. What can we do?"
Su Hong pouted and said disapprovingly.
"Haha, this is actually not a secret among the major sects."
Lin Qingyan said lightly with a smile on her lips. She loosened her hair like clouds with her fingers and let it fall down on her temples:
"Although sects are controlled by the imperial court, they are not official offices of the imperial court after all. During the martial arts examination every year, there are actually female disciples from various sects pretending to participate. However, some are lucky and some are unlucky.
"If the imperial proctor finds out, then it can only be blamed on my own poor performance. I can only come back next time."
"ah!"
Yang Ji couldn't hide his surprise. He thought that after being found out, he would naturally stop participating, but he didn't expect that he would come back next time!
Seeing Yang Ji's shocked look, Lin Qingyan couldn't help but laugh. In fact, it was quite fun to occasionally tease these "newcomers" who didn't know much about the sect with these interesting things at the foot of the mountain.
"In fact, this is also what the sect means. As long as you have this intention, the sect will help you prepare the real household registration and road information in advance. You can change it back and forth if you want."
"But once admitted to Wu Tongsheng, Wu Xiucai can no longer change. If his identity is revealed at this time, he will really burst into tears. So, don't look at me telling you everything. But when it comes to what we are doing
No one will tell you Yamashita’s true identity.”
Lin Qingyan put the tea cup back on the ground and smiled slightly.
Yang Ji nodded and felt relieved. Indeed, as long as Lin Qingyan didn't tell her name when she was participating in the martial arts examination, it wouldn't have much impact whether Lin Qingyan said it or not.
And Yang Ji is also a little curious, what would Lin Qingyan look like if she were a woman disguising herself as a man? It seems that it is not just as simple as tying her hair.
"I really can't imagine it."
Yang Ji shook his head in his heart and said.
Knowing that this beautiful and saintly senior sister in front of me would disguise herself as a man and go down the mountain at certain times every few years to compete with other men in the martial arts examination. This feeling is really weird.
"Haha, don't think it's strange. The imperial court actually knows all these things. I heard that there is a secret government office that records information about us people. I heard that every martial arts examination is nothing.
Some demonic and evil sect disciples are mixed in."
Lin Qingyan smiled.
"Devil? Evil sect?"
Yang Ji couldn't hide his surprise.
"Um."
Lin Qingyan nodded. Her expression became more serious:
"You have just gone up the mountain now, so you don't understand these things. After taking on the sect's mission and walking down the mountain more, you will understand."
"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore."
Lin Qingyan waved her hand and said a few words, not wanting to mention more:
"Actually, we female disciples are subject to quite a lot of restrictions. Among other things, the number of 'senior sisters' in the sect is far less than that of 'senior brothers', which is enough to illustrate the problem."
Yang Ji nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Yang Ji. I just saw those registered disciples you pointed out, and they are all very powerful. I wonder if you can help me point out these girls?"
Lin Qingyan glanced at Yang Ji and said unconsciously.
With one word, the girls suddenly became quiet, and all their eyes were fixed on Yang Ji.
"Isn't this... a little bad?"
Yang Ji felt a little confused.
"What's the matter? I don't mind. Do you, a man, still mind?"
At this moment, there was a gust of wind, and in Yang Ji's surprised eyes, a female disciple with a slim figure and bright eyes suddenly stood up to the left of Lin Qingyan.
"Senior sister?"
Su Hong looked surprised when she saw it.
The female disciple who stood up did not speak. She just glared at her.
Yang Ji was thoughtful and vaguely understood something.
"Junior Brother Yang, these girls around me are all elm-headed, and they are all rotten wood that cannot be carved. They can't learn a set of lightning sword techniques even after teaching them for a long time. Junior Brother Yang is extremely talented, let's see if I can help them.
"
Lin Qingyan said with a smile on her lips.
"Heh. Then let me try."
Yang Ji took a sip of Longjing tea and said indifferently.
"Junior Brother Yang, thank you."
The female disciple who stood up immediately turned from anger to joy. She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, older than Yang Ji, so it was not wrong to call her junior brother.
"Qiang!"
There was a flash of cold light. The female disciple pulled out a women's narrow sword, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to Yang Ji:
"Junior brother, please give me some advice."
Yang Ji nodded, indicating that she could start.
"Whoosh!"
There was a ripple of light, and under the attention of everyone, the female disciple shook the long sword in her hand, flicking away a ball of sword flowers, and then launched a set of sword techniques in front of Yang Ji.
Her sword moves were very slow and she used almost no force on the sword, as if she was afraid that Yang Ji could not see her moves clearly. One move after another, the female disciple slowly performed the entire set of sword techniques in front of Yang Ji.
come out.
At this moment, except for Yang Ji and Su Hong, almost no one paid attention to this set of swordsmanship. The hall was quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Yang Ji, looking forward to his "guidance".
"As expected."
Yang Ji's eyes flashed, and it took only a moment to see the trick.
This female disciple's swordsmanship is fast, ruthless, and accurate, capturing the essence of Gaoming Shenfa. But Yang Ji only noticed after watching it for a while that some of her moves were jerky, stiff, not smooth enough, and not skillful at all.
It looks like a temporary imitation, the result of learning something else, just practicing a few more times.
Moreover, some of her clever skills are obviously not something that a person of her level can perform. The result of using them forcefully is that a tiger cannot be compared to a dog, which makes people feel very low-level and even a little childish.
"The level of this set of swordsmanship is far beyond her realm. People who really practice this set of swordsmanship will definitely have better swordsmanship than her."
Yang Ji secretly said.
His eyes quickly glanced at Lin Qingyan, and paused for a moment.
"Strange, why does Senior Sister Lan's swordsmanship look so similar to Senior Sister's?"
A voice came from beside her. Su Hong frowned and muttered to herself as if she had encountered some problem. (To be continued...)
