Chapter 14 Immortal Glory (asking for a red ticket
Just when Lin Xi asked Mu Shanzi inhumanely what the chosen one was, the girl in green, who had always looked very natural, smiled slightly, and her small nose wrinkled slightly, like the breeze blowing a pool of spring water.
At the same time, the extreme pride on the face of a cold and arrogant black-haired boy suddenly turned into shock and confusion. His eyes were like sharp swords, and they swept across Lin Xi's body.
He is from the Wen family. Even among the thousands of candidates gathered from the entire Yunqin Empire, he stands out from the crowd and achieved an astonishing overall score of 31 points. However, he did not expect that there would be someone with the same score as him.
Scores, and he is also an ordinary border town boy with only level two cultivation talent!
"The natural selection means that professors from various departments can't compete for it, and it's up to God to decide." The "Golden Spoon" boy next to him who was selected answered Lin Xi's question for Mu Shanzi with a look of shock on his face.
At this time, the candidates who had passed the college examination had really finished their registration. Even the middle-aged lecturer in black robe who reported Lin Xi's name couldn't help but glance at Lin Xi, wondering how this young man from a border town could achieve such results.
, and ultimately use the method of natural selection to decide which department to enter.
After glancing at Lin Xi, the middle-aged lecturer in black robes slowly said in his usual serious tone: "The candidates who passed the college examination will stay. Those who failed, please leave first."
As he said these words, the scene suddenly became more chaotic.
Some failed candidates howled and cried, and some candidates had the heroic idea of extinguishing themselves before entering this door, and actually committed suicide on the spot. A group of Qingluan College students wearing black robes from the college walked through this chaotic scene with great experience.
In the process, he stopped the bloodshed and tragedy, and at the same time quickly put away the tents one after another.
"Her name is Gao Yanan, and she has also entered the Tianxuan?"
Through this chaotic scene, Lin Xi, who was standing still, saw the young girl in green walking to a slightly empty place to one side and waiting. What made him stunned was that in such a chaotic and noisy environment, this beautiful girl
The girl in green clothes actually leaned under a willow tree by the lake and dozed off as if there was no one around.
"My name is Liu Yingting, and we will be classmates in the college from now on." The young man with a golden spoon who had previously answered Lin Xi's question about the "Chosen One" for Mu Shanzi extended his hand to Lin Xi and others as a gesture of goodwill.
This young man with a golden spoon is short and stocky, has a kind face, and has a dark complexion. He is wearing a sapphire-colored silk dress and a mutton-fat jade lion hanging on his waist.
Mu Shanzi suddenly became ashamed and angry, and shouted at the golden spoon boy: "You may not be too disrespectful to me by showing kindness to them at this time... Even if you want to make friends with them, at least wait until I leave.
Let’s talk about it after we open it, right?”
Liu Yingting, who had a somewhat dark complexion, raised her brows mercilessly, curled her lips and said: "Your father is the provincial governor, and my father is also the provincial governor. You have been admitted to the college, and I have also been admitted to the college. Why must I have to
Give you face?"
Mu Shanzi opened his mouth, but was speechless, because he was indeed unreasonable in this matter. It was his business to make friends, and it was indeed too arrogant to ask others not to make friends.
Lin Xi smiled slightly and reached out to hold Liu Yingting's hand. He didn't have much prejudice against the "Golden Spoon".
Mu Shanzi opened his mouth again, and his face almost turned purple.
"Actually, there is something I have wanted to say to everyone..." A thunderous voice burst out from his mouth, bringing the chaotic scene by the lake to a halt.
Many of the failed candidates who were crying looked at Murasaki Mu with their eyes wide open, but when everyone was curious to hear what he was going to say, it was this golden spoon who screamed with his eyes closed.
Rarely shouted: "Actually...I am a pig!"
…
The efficiency of Qingluan Academy was astonishing. It didn't take long for the chaotic scene by the lake to be completely controlled. All the candidates who failed the exam were sent out of the camp and all the tents were collected.
Lift it up and fold it neatly.
On the contrary, the area outside where many carriages were parked became busy.
Some carriages and horses began to leave, while some people from other colleges or local officials began to busily recruit candidates who had failed the exam.
"That is?"
Suddenly, many people who were busy beside the carriages and horses froze, especially many elderly people. After a moment of confusion, they all bowed towards the lake and saluted.
Most of these people who bowed down to salute were of high status, but they did so willingly, with shock and awe in their eyes.
All the candidates felt this strangeness. Following their gazes, they saw under the noon sun the one-armed old man with a weathered face and six professors emerging from the last tent that had been dismantled.
He walked out, and those people seemed to be saluting the one-armed old man.
"It's Vice President Xia..."
Someone unconsciously called out the old man's name, followed by a wave of low exclamations.
"Is he Vice President Xia? What's wrong with his arm..."
Almost all the candidates who heard this title, whether they passed or failed, felt as if they were struck by lightning, as if they were seeing the old man's expression for the first time. After coming back to their senses, almost all of them responded with humility.
With a posture like admiring a big mountain, he saluted the old man.
"Vice President Xia? Who is he?" Lin Xi asked in a daze.
Li Kaiyun's legs were trembling, not because of fear, but because of the trembling in his heart. His voice was also trembling, with an unspeakable meaning: "Vice Dean Xia was the one who guarded the battle with Dean Zhang during the battle at Falling Star Lake.
One of the seventeen people from Qingluan Academy in Falling Star Mausoleum, it turns out he is Vice President Xia."
"One of the seventeen students from Qingluan Academy?"
Lin Xi was stunned. Although he was just a traveler to the glory of this empire, the exciting singing made him clearly remember these legendary figures in his mind.
While singing, he thought more than once about what it would be like for the seventeen Qingluan College students and the five thousand border troops to face an army of three hundred thousand.
And now, this old man with a face full of vicissitudes of life and no edge at all is actually one of the seventeen college students that year.
The one-armed old man walked in the forefront of six professors and rows of college students, and nodded slightly in return to everyone. A shocking power continued to emanate from his body.
"Only courage and loyalty can create immortal glory and be remembered by others." He stopped not far away from the candidates who passed the exam, suddenly spoke and said something like this.
His voice was not high, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"It is not only in Qingluan Academy that one can have courage and loyalty and gain glory."
Many failed candidates with tears on their faces were suddenly shocked after hearing this sentence. Many seemed to understand and solemnly saluted the old man again.
After saying those two sentences, the one-armed old man said in a voice that only the candidates in Hupan could hear: "Welcome to join Qingluan College."
There was silence on the banks of Lingxia Lake, and all the students who had passed the exam were at a loss.
The one-armed old man ignored the other people. His wise eyes swept from Lin Xi, Gao Yanan, Wen Xuanyu, and then back to Lin Xi: "Lin Xi, you start the natural selection."
The students in front of Lin Xi separated automatically. Lin Xi felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and he felt very nervous for no reason. But what made him dumbfounded was that after hearing the words of the one-armed old man, the middle-aged lecturer in black robe
He just walked up to Lin Xi, took out six small rolled sheepskin scrolls, and put them in Lin Xi's hands, "You pick one of them."
Lin Xi randomly picked one of them, and the middle-aged lecturer in black robe opened it in front of everyone. There were two words "Zhi Ge" on it. "The result of heaven's selection, Zhi Ge Department!" Then, the middle-aged lecturer in black robe announced seriously and loudly.
.
"After working on it for a long time, I still attributed it to my Zhi Ge department." When the middle-aged lecturer in black robe opened the small parchment scroll and revealed the word "Zhi Ge", the black-haired man whose age was difficult to tell from his face had already revealed his amusement.
A smile. The other professors turned their heads away bitterly at the same time, and snorted heavily with ugly expressions on their faces.
The one-armed old man's eyes fell on the proud and lonely Wen Xuanyu: "Wen Xuanyu, you will start the selection next."
The middle-aged lecturer in black robe put away the "Zhi Ge" scroll that Lin Xi selected, then took out one of the remaining five scrolls, and handed the remaining four sheepskin scrolls to Wen Xuanyu.
This too simple "natural selection" method became very solemn because of the tradition of Qingluan Academy and the atmosphere after the identity of the one-armed old man was revealed. Everyone watched the result intently, but what no one expected was
, Wen Xuanyu did not choose the small sheepskin roll immediately, but raised his head and said loudly: "I protest! This is unfair!"
It was obvious that he was a little nervous, and his lips were trembling, but his eyes did not flinch, and he looked directly at all the people in the college in front of him, including the one-armed old man.
Everyone took a deep breath. Over the years, no one has dared to say that the entrance examination of Qingluan College was unfair. Wen Xuanyu's courage made many people feel cold in their hearts: Isn't he afraid?
So I can't get into Qingluan College?
"Why?" The one-armed old man gave Wen Xuanyu a majestic look and said.
"If it were a fair choice, after he had chosen, I should have chosen from six departments, but the Zhige system was taken out, and another system was taken out, leaving only four systems to choose from. This way
I lost the opportunity to enter two of the departments." Wen Xuanyu still did not flinch, glanced at Lin Xi, and said loudly: "Why can't I enter Zhi Ge! Even if his entrance examination score is still higher than mine, everyone else
I know that the next training depends largely on qualifications! His qualifications are only level two, and I don’t believe that I will not be as good as his cultivation in the Zhige system!"
As soon as Wen Xuanyu said these words, many people's expressions changed, especially those in the Wen family's carriage turned pale.
Anyone who came from Qingluan College knows that the tradition of Qingluan College is to accept doubts. The first half of Wen Xuanyu's sentence is understandable, but the second half of the sentence involves Lin Xi, which is equivalent to rebuking Lin Xi's lack of cultivation qualifications in person.
"You have to remember one thing. In Qingluan College, the interests of the entire group will always override personal interests." However, the one-armed old man still didn't seem to be angry. He just looked at Wen Xuanyu lightly and said, "Since you don't
If you accept the arrangement we think is appropriate, then I agree and let you and Heaven decide where you belong in the six departments."
