"I see. It seems that only the core disciples can go to the baptism." Xu You said with a smile, "Why did you tell me such important news?"
"I just want to make you happy." Lei Qinglan smiled, "You will be a core disciple soon anyway, so it doesn't matter if I tell you in advance, as long as you don't tell others."
"I will definitely keep my mouth shut." Xu You nodded solemnly.
Lei Qinglan can take the initiative to tell him this great good thing, which shows her trust and friendship in him. How can he live up to it?
And this news came very timely. Before this, Xu You had already had the idea of leaving the Lei family. Now that there is such a good thing, he should not be in a hurry to leave.
He didn't notice that Lei Qinglan was willing to tell him, not just because of friendship.
As for the reason, even Lei Qinglan herself didn't know. The girl just subconsciously wanted to make Xu You happy.
After a long time, until Xu You's spiritual power was fully restored and his injuries were almost healed, Lei Zhenshan, Lei Dongfang and Lei Wancheng returned to the training ground.
Lei Fengxing did not come back with them.
Lei Zhenshan's face was very calm, but Lei Dongfang and Lei Wancheng's expressions were a little gloomy, their brows furrowed, and they looked quite unhappy.
Lei Zhenshan nodded to Zhou Jinjun and Yue Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, and expressed his apology. Then he turned around and said majestically: "I was delayed for a while because of some things and kept everyone waiting. Now I will announce the results of the assessment immediately."
He paused for a moment, saw everyone's eyes focused on him, and said loudly: "After joint review and decision, the Lei family's year-end assessment results, the first place... Fang Hui!"
The expressions of all the disciples froze instantly, they couldn't believe that the name they heard was true.
Didn't Fang Hui lose to Xu You in the assessment? How could he be the first? Could it be that the head of the family was distracted and said the wrong name?
Lei Zhenshan looked at everyone's dumbfounded expressions, smiled lightly, and said in a more serious tone: "You heard me right, the first place in the end-of-year assessment is Fang Hui. Although he lost in the finals, because of his great contribution to the Lei family
, so in the comprehensive evaluation, it still ranks first! Congratulations!"
The whole place was silent, and no one responded to the master's words.
Although the end-of-year assessment also includes contribution, the contribution is only used to measure whether a student is eliminated, and the assessment ranking is determined based on the results of the competition.
Cultivation is the foundation for the children of aristocratic families and is more important than anything else.
But now, Fang Hui was defeated miserably at the hands of Xu You, but because of his contribution, he beat Xu You and won the first place. This is simply ridiculous.
Xu You's face also froze, as if he had been hit in the head, he couldn't believe it.
He spent a huge price to defeat Fang Hui, just to get the first place in the assessment, and he was about to get the Thunder Light Technique, but now he was given up by Lei Zhenshan with a simple word of contribution.
In an instant, Xu You's heart seemed to be stabbed so hard that it was about to bleed.
"Xu You..."
Lei Qinglan was also extremely shocked. She immediately turned to look at Xu You. When she saw Xu You's stiff look, her heart suddenly felt unspeakable pain.
Lei Ming and others' faces were pale and their whole bodies were stiff. This decision was really unexpected.
Lei Dongfang and Lei Wancheng looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
The reason why both of them looked unhappy was because of this matter.
Originally Lei Fengxing left after talking about the spiritual pool, but Lei Zhenshan then brought up the assessment and said that he decided to award the first place to Fang Hui. The reason was that Xu Youcai had only been in the Lei family for a few months and had not made any contributions. If
If he were to be number one, I'm afraid the other disciples would be dissatisfied.
He was the head of the family, so Lei Dongfang and Lei Wanshan were unable to argue with him and had no choice but to give in.
Seeing no one responded, Lei Zhenshan frowned, but then he relaxed and said with a smile: "Fang Hui, come up and receive the reward. Don't be complacent if you get the first place in the assessment. You must keep up your efforts in the future.
.”
"Yes, Master of the House." Fang Hui said loudly, with unconcealable surprise in his tone.
When Lei Zhenshan announced his name, he raised his head suddenly. He couldn't believe that he was actually the first. But as Lei Zhenshan confirmed it again, the joy in his heart was simply indescribable. For a moment, he couldn't even believe that he was the first.
The pain and shame of being defeated by Xu You have faded a lot.
He suppressed his excitement forcibly and wanted to appear calm and calm. But every disciple could see the surprise on his face that he tried hard to hide, and they couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.
Originally I felt it was a pity that Fang Hui lost, but now I no longer feel even a trace of it.
Lei Zhenshan waved his hand, and a servant came over carrying a tray with six jade slips on it.
"The rewards for the first place are ten spiritual stones, fifty Yuan-Building Pills, a Thunder Light Technique, a low-grade medium spiritual technique, and five low-grade elementary spiritual techniques." Lei Zhenshan said, "The rewards for spiritual stones and pills are:
Go to the Alchemy Academy to get it yourself, this is a martial art and a spiritual technique."
Fang Hui took the jade slip from the tray and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master, for your cultivation. I will definitely do my best to serve the Lei family until my death."
Lei Zhenshan smiled and said: "Fang Hui, you have a bright future. If you work hard, you may become an elder of my Lei family with a foreign surname in the future!"
Everyone was immediately moved. What an honor it was for an elder with a foreign surname. In the history of the Lei family, elders with a foreign surname could hardly exceed the number of one palm. Lei Zhenshan said this, obviously he valued Fang Hui very much.
At this time, everyone could see that Lei Zhenshan was clearly trying to support Fang Hui and suppress Xu You. It was so obvious that they recalled the house arrest incident more than a month ago, and they vaguely understood.
Fang Hui burst into tears a few more times, then stepped back. He glanced at Xu You, who was pale, and felt indescribably happy.
"So what if you defeat me, Xu You, you have offended Lei Zhenshan, but in the end you have to submit to me. After the assessment is over, I will humiliate you again." He thought viciously in his heart.
At this time, Lei Zhenshan said loudly again: "I announce that the second place in the year-end assessment... Lei Fang!"
What... everyone was so surprised again that they almost screamed.
Even Lei Dongfang and Lei Wancheng's expressions became stiff. Lei Zhenshan only told them that the first place would go to Fang Hui, and Xu You would have to settle for second place. Unexpectedly, the second place was not Xu You either.
If Fang Hui ranks above Xu You and it can be explained by his contribution, then what explanation does Lei Fang use?
Lei Fang's face was also extremely surprised, but he quickly reacted, stepped forward and saluted: "Master, my subordinate's cultivation is not enough, and this second place deserves it. I ask the master to take back his life."
Lei Zhenshan's face darkened: "What are you taking back? The reason why this second place is given to you is not just based on your cultivation, but also considering that you have been in the Lei family for many years, with deep qualifications and hard work. You deserve it. Come and collect the reward."
Lei Fang sighed, a look of determination suddenly appeared on his face, and shook his head: "Master, I am a spiritual practitioner, and the only thing I care about is my cultivation. Moreover, the assessments over the years are all based on the results of the competition. I lost to Fang Hui
, Fang Hui lost to Xu You again, this is a fact. My fighting ability is not as good, and I will catch up through hard training in the future, but if I am ranked above Xu You due to other factors, I feel dissatisfied with such a reward.
It’s a pleasure, it’s better not to do it!”
He spoke loudly, glanced at Fang Hui lightly, turned his head without hesitation, and strode away.
Everyone looked at his back, and for a moment, they suddenly felt that this usually gentle brother was so tall.
Fang Hui had already calmed down, but when he heard these words, his face suddenly turned red. Especially Lei Fang's indifferent eyes, which did not contain any contempt or disdain, made his heart filled with shame again.
Lei Zhenshan looked ugly. He did not expect that Lei Fang would refuse the ranking. This was something that had never happened before in the assessment.
However, Lei Fang is a pure bloodline of the Lei family and one of the most outstanding core disciples. Even the head of the family cannot forcefully reprimand him in public.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
After a long time, Lei Zhenshan said calmly: "Okay, the second place reward will be temporarily stored, and we will continue to issue rewards."
He paused and his voice became colder: "Third place in the assessment, Xu You."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that if you don't give Xu You the third place, this assessment will become a joke.
Xu You was silent and stood motionless. Apart from being a little pale, his face had calmed down, but the anger in his heart was still overwhelming.
He wanted to knock Lei Zhenshan to the ground with one punch, point his nose at him and curse him, then take away everything that belonged to him, turn around and leave.
But reason told him that without strength, all this was just an illusion.
Therefore, other than patience, there is no other option than tolerance.
Lei Zhenshan glanced at him coldly and said solemnly: "Why, you don't want the third place reward? Okay, you don't want it, there are many people who want it."
"Xu You, go up, don't push the cow..." Lei Qinglan's subtle spiritual voice sounded in his heart.
Xu You clenched his fists and walked up slowly.
Lei Zhenshan waved slightly, and another servant came up holding a tray with three jade slips inside.
"The reward for third place is five spiritual stones, thirty Yuan-Building Pills, and three low-level spiritual arts." Lei Zhenshankou said in a formulaic manner, "You can go to the Alchemy Academy to collect the spiritual stones and pill rewards yourself.
This is spiritual magic."
Xu You silently took the jade slip and turned around to retreat.
"Don't you even know how to say a word of thanks?" Lei Zhenshan said coldly, "How come our Lei family has such an uneducated child like you?"
"Thank you, Master." Xu You trembled and said in a low voice.
"It is not easy for you to get this ranking." Lei Zhenshan said calmly, "In the future, we must work hard and ask more advice from old disciples like Fang Hui, and strive to enter the ranks of core disciples as soon as possible."
Xu You's expression changed drastically.
Will he enter the ranks of core disciples soon? What does this mean? Could it be that with his cultivation and combat power, he still cannot enter the core?
"Master, what do you mean by this?" He couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly.
"Don't you understand?" Lei Zhenshan said expressionlessly, "You are just not qualified yet, so you can't enter the core. Do you understand?"
