"Damn it! What trick does Ye Mo, a pariah, have that makes his men so desperate that they can't even dig out a single one of them?"
Zheng Yiqing held a list of assistant students in his hand and cursed angrily.
This is the list he plans to dig up using Wu Yunfei's name.
But the plan he used to drain Ye Mo's salary from under the cauldron failed. Not one of Ye Mo's people was poached.
Zheng Yiqing couldn't help but look at the people around him, including Butler Cao, He An, Master Hou, and three or four warrior guards who had followed him here from Zheng.
He glanced at the stooped Butler Cao, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. On his side, the only one who was truly devoted to him was this sixty-year-old old steward.
Although He An has been his most capable helper for a long time, he is free. He only stayed with him to repay the kindness of the old marquis, and he can leave at any time.
As for Master Hou, he is full of conspiracies and intrigues, but when it comes to loyalty, this Master is probably the least loyal. If a monk with a higher status recruits him, I am afraid that Master Hou will be the first to leave and find another job.
Zheng Yiqing was also helpless. He only had Master Hou as his adviser and could not do without him. Without Master Hou, many things would not go smoothly.
"Young Master, the villain's plan failed, please punish me!"
Master Hou bowed to apologize.
It was his strategy to encourage Zheng Yiqing to contact Wu Yunfei from the Immortal Academy and use his strength to dismantle Ye Mo's group.
I just didn't expect that this plan that should have succeeded failed miserably.
"This is not Master's fault! It's all because of that untouchable Ye Mo. I don't know what tricks he used, what kind of ecstasy soup he drank. Wu Yunfei, who is ranked seventh in the Immortal Academy, can't even poach the people around him!"
Zheng Yiqing waved his hand and cursed bitterly.
Master Hou lowered his head, but he was slandering Zheng Yiqing in his heart.
If Zheng Yiqing hadn't been born in the House of the Marquis of Zheng, and if he hadn't had the support of several monks of the Zheng clan, Zheng Yiqing would have been a worthless waste, worse than Ye Mo, a civilian casual cultivator.
Following Zheng Yiqing, I really don’t see much future.
However, Master Hou had no better way out for a while and could only follow Zheng Yiqing temporarily. He also wanted to see if Zheng Yiqing could build his own fairy village and have a better future.
Master Hou wisely shut up and stepped aside without interrupting.
Recently, Zheng Yiqing has been a bit irritable, anxious and moody.
Zheng Yiqing's situation in Qingyun Xianyuan is very bad.
Although he received financial support from several monks from the Zheng family, he entered Qingyun Immortal Academy and became a city lord student. However, this financial support was not enough. Qingyun Immortal Academy was full of children from aristocratic families, who were many times stronger than him.
The high spirits and ambitions I had when I left Donglaixian Village have long been worn away in Qingyun Immortal Academy.
If Master Hou hadn't been on hand to make suggestions, Zheng Yiqing wouldn't even know how to proceed.
"Master Hou, is there any way to deal with Ye Mo now?"
Zheng Yiqing vented his anger with insults and named Master Hou again.
"Young Master! The villain thinks that taking care of Ye Mo is just a casual thing. The Zheng family's ultimate goal is to build their own fairy village. Everything should be focused on this! Make friends with students, make more connections, and prepare for the graduation exam as soon as possible.
Even if there is only one tenth chance of getting one of the ten spots, it may not mean that there is no hope!"
Master Hou thought for a moment and reluctantly advised.
"Build your own fairy village?"
These words made Zheng Yiqing feel very harsh.
He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he thought about how much effort Zheng Hongjun had gone through to raise the thousand spiritual stones so that the Zheng family could have their own fairy village.
It's just that it's not that easy to build your own fairy village.
Among the hundreds of city lord students in Qingyun Immortal Academy, there is no one with a richer family than him. He is directly ranked below ninety, so he can only look forward to it and sigh.
"Compared with Jianxian Village, it is easier to deal with Ye Mo!"
Zheng Yiqing had just finished listening to Master Hou's advice, but his mind went nowhere again.
...
More than ten days passed in a flash, and at the end of the month, the City Lord students had to take the required classes. The City Lord students only had two classes per month, but each class was extremely important.
Inside the Bluestone Hall.
Kuang Zhen sat cross-legged on the podium and read the "Design Drawings of Fairy Village" submitted by the City Lord students with his spiritual consciousness. This time, most of the students had learned their lesson and submitted a copy of the drawings in order to win
Get good ratings.
The city masters and students below also looked at Kuang Zhen nervously.
Every time Kuang Zhen evaluates them, they will rise and fall in the city master's student potential rankings. Even for the sake of face, they don't want their rankings to fall too far behind and be at the bottom among the students.
Kuang Zhen frowned.
Fairy Village design is an extremely difficult task, involving almost all details including "topography, materials, fairy village functions, city wall defenses, towers, fairy guards, functional buildings, business and trade, etc." Every detail is complex and vast.
project.
The situation was not optimistic. In just fifteen days, most students were unable to handle such a complicated fairy village design and only came up with a very rough sketch of the fairy village.
The sketch is naturally very different from the actual usable "Fairy City Design Drawings".
The real fairy city design drawings need to be so detailed that every place, city wall materials, various arrow towers, turret power, and prohibitions will be marked. It will even include detailed structural drawings of various important equipment.
To put it simply, as long as you have a fairy city design drawing, all that is left is to find the corresponding materials and craftsmen, and you can directly build such a fairy city.
The sketch is only for analysis, it is just a thumbnail without many details. You cannot build a fairy city with a sketch.
However, from this kind of sketch, Kuang Zhen can also see the overall perspective and analytical ability of the Xianyuan City Master students.
What the Immortal Academy is currently cultivating is the strategic level of City Lord students, which belongs to the overall situation. Only with the continuous deepening of their studies can they gradually come into contact with the subtleties.
"Forty-seven were unqualified, twenty were qualified, four were good, and three were excellent."
Kuang Zhen shook his head and announced the results of the assessment.
Perhaps because the difficulty of the questions this time was too high, a large number of students failed, and very few were good or outstanding.
"Sixth place, Zhang Zhigao..."
"Fifth place, Ren Haiping..."
"Fourth place, Wu Yunfei, good! His draft of the Fairy Village has an appropriate location and a rigorous structure. However, there are still shortcomings. The defense of the Fairy Village is not rigorous enough, leaving a blind spot."
The jade slip Kuang Zhen is evaluating belongs to Wu Yunfei. He ranked seventh, and now he is ranked fourth, which is considered very good.
However, Wu Yunfei's face is not very good. The goal he pursues is to be outstanding and top three. Although good is good, it is one level lower than outstanding.
Kuang Zhen doesn't care what he thinks.
"Next are three outstanding design sketches. They are Bai Xijun, Lou Jiejun, and Ye Mo. Each of the three design sketches has its own advantages and disadvantages!"
Kuang Zhen said.
In the Bluestone Hall, the faces of many students changed. Last time, Ye Mo was outstanding. This time, although Ye Mo was not outstanding, he also entered the top three.
"Third place, Ye Mo's design... is extremely efficient, using the least material consumption, and realizing the various functions of the fairy village to the greatest extent. If a fairy village is designed and built according to Ye Mo's ideas, the fairy village will not be reduced.
The various functions of the village are one-third of the cost of a normal fairy village. His sketch of the fairy village is the cheapest among all!"
"Second place, Bai Xijun's design is delicate and pays attention to details. This design takes almost every aspect into consideration. After a lot of refinement of this drawing, it can even be directly used to build a fairy city."
"First place, Lou Jiejun's design is extremely bold and ambitious. This is something that others cannot catch up with. The site was chosen appropriately, and preventive measures were taken at the beginning of the city's construction in view of the harsh environment and potential threats around it.
Extremely rare.
In order to realize this design, a large amount of high-end materials are required, and the cost is almost three times that of an ordinary fairy village. However, with the Lou family's financial resources, it is not difficult to realize this design."
Kuang Zhen commented on the sketches of the three people one by one.
In the main hall, the students were in an uproar.
"Ye Mo's construction cost is the lowest, so he is rated as outstanding? Is this okay?"
A City Lord student lost his voice.
"Teacher Kuang, I protest! Just because the cost is low, it is rated as outstanding! If I had known, if I had made a lower one, wouldn't I have entered the top three of the best!"
Another person took over the conversation and said loudly.
"Okay! As long as you can use a lower cost to realize the basic functions of the fairy village, I can rank you as the third place in this class. Ye Mo's cost is one-third, and you can use a quarter
?”
Kuang Zhen said calmly.
The student was stunned, thinking for a long time, and then shrank down.
It is quite unbelievable that the fairy village designed by Ye Mo is so cheap. If you want to make it cheaper, it will take more than one or two months, and it may not be possible. It will definitely delay the half-monthly course.
assessment.
The students in the main hall were talking a lot.
The person who cannot accept this fact the most, apart from some arrogant and arrogant children of top aristocratic families, is Zheng Yiqing.
"Impossible, Ye Mo must be cheating! The sketch Hua Lingshi asked someone to make for him is like this, it must be like this! I want to catch him!"
Zheng Yiqing's face was ferocious, and he looked at Ye Mo in the distance unwillingly. The sketch he made was rated as unqualified, ranking in the 80s, which was far behind Ye Mo's.
Wu Yunfei and some students from aristocratic families who were standing next to him looked at Zheng Yiqing with some pity after being stunned for a while, wondering if this guy was crazy for revenge.
If you are looking for someone to cheat, you will definitely need a city lord-level monk. The designs for the fairy city are all made by the city lord himself.
Which city lord would cheat a civilian cultivator like Ye Mo when he is full and has nothing to do?
If Ye Mo had such ability and asked a real city lord to make sketches, then he would not be an ordinary casual cultivator. He would be at the bottom and second to last in the originally announced potential ranking of city lord students.
Qingyun Immortal Academy's incomparable strength makes it impossible not to find out the details of the city master students of this academy.
