Faced with Xie Xin's invitation, the Pan brothers agreed after some consideration.
But they have one request, that is, they want to go north to Nanyang Huaxia Academy, and they need to go home and talk to their parents.
After all, there is a saying in the Analects of Confucius: "When parents are around, if you don't travel far away, you will have a good way to travel."
Shuijing Villa may be considered far away from home, and Nanyang is naturally even more far away. If we don't talk to our family, how can they, as sons of men, study with peace of mind?
In this regard, the thank you letter also suggested: "Why not ask someone to bring a message back?"
Pan Ji immediately replied: "We, two brothers, are studying alone, with no one we know and trust to entrust us with; and we live in a remote place, so if we don't return in person, I'm afraid others won't be able to find the way there."
After some inquiries, Xie Xin found out that their hometown was actually in Cangwu County, Jiaozhou. In fact, it was precisely because they were under the rule of Shixie, the governor of Jiaozhou, that they did not suffer much exploitation.
Their ancestors had unique skills in casting and weaving, so after settling in Cangwu, they quickly established their roots and developed rapidly. It was more or less a low-level family.
In fact, if this were not the case, there would not be so much money for these two sons to come to Jingzhou to study.
It was at this time that the system prompt sounded again.
"The enrollment targets are Pan Ji and Pan Lin. Their respect for the host is over 80%. After systematic deduction, the enrollment task will be directly advanced to the last step: obtaining the approval of their parents."
Xie Xin did not expect that he would gain such high respect from them just by treating them gently.
But more than anything, it was a wry smile. Because from the moment the system task appeared, if you want to officially recruit these two people as disciples, you must complete this task.
In fact, not long ago, not long after the system was unfrozen, because Mao Jie completed a series of enrollment tasks, he had officially joined Xie Xin's sect. At least, the system had completed the recognition.
Since then, the changes Mao Jie has made to history will bring a lot of experience to Xie Xin. But in fact, experience is not important. The most important thing is the problem of heart.
As mentioned above, the moment Xie Xin begins to develop feelings for a certain person, the other person will become a knot in his heart. If there is no contact, under certain circumstances, it will affect the speed of his cultivation.
When Mao Jie's mission was completed, Xie Xin felt that some of the depression in his chest had disappeared.
After repeated arguments, he confirmed a fact: the enrollment task was completed, and the knot in his mind about this student was resolved.
If he had not recruited this student, he would not have caused any trouble to him. But once he had officially decided to recruit him as his disciple, he would have begun to become a knot in his heart.
The solution is to complete the enrollment task.
In fact, this is also where the system is quite cheating, because under normal circumstances, untying the heart knot requires specific insights and realizations before it can be untied by chance. The level of difficulty is far higher than that which can be solved naturally after a series of formulaic tasks.
There is much more to unraveling.
What should I do if the enrollment task cannot be completed? They will still be their disciples, but they will not be recognized by the system first; then, the knots they bring must be solved naturally, without any tricks.
One can imagine what a devilish thing this is!
Now that the mission has appeared, Xie Xin naturally wants to go to Cangwu with them.
As a result, the students who came with him would have to make other arrangements.
"Voluntary applications are now being issued. Those who want to go to Cangwu County, Jiaozhou with me, should stand on my right side; those who don't want to go, stand on my left side. Those who are undecided should find a copper plate and toss it before joining the queue.
"Xie Xin said to the twenty students with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the students immediately started whispering among themselves.
Then, under Xie Xin's urging, six people stood on the right and ten on the left. After the last four people tossed the coin (really?), one person stood on the right and three on the left.
This means that there are nine people in Xie Xin and Wang Rong who are going to Cangwu, including Xie Xin and Wang Rong; there are thirteen people who are unwilling to go to Cangwu.
Most of those who dared to go with Xie Xin were old students from the Huaxia private school era; but the remaining thirteen were obviously from too good a family and did not dare to risk their lives in the wild land of Jiaozhou.
The thank-you letter couldn't help but lament that as the students' family backgrounds get better and better, their courage has also dropped a lot. Perhaps it is in line with the saying, 'The richer people live, the more they cherish life.' However, among the old students
There is an exception. At least Li Feng stood on the left side.
"Teacher, in about ten days, it will be my father's birthday, so..." Li Feng apologized with his hand.
With this explanation, Xie Xin and others were relieved.
This trip to Cangwu and back to Nanyang will take more than ten days. On his father's birthday, if his son can't be there to congratulate him, then Li Feng is indeed a bit unfilial.
"Okay, by the way, bring me a message back. Just say that I will go back to Cangwu, and it will only take a few more days!" Xie Xin said with a smile.
The number of students has been determined, and the students should communicate and chat. Anyway, we will start setting off tomorrow, so there is no need to rush to pack the bags now.
The group had a good dinner and then returned to their respective rooms.
That night, Sima Hui mercifully let Xie Xin go. But in this room with poor soundproofing, Xie Xin didn't want others to hear about what happened between him and Wang Rong.
At this moment, Wang Rong is already a twelve-year-old girl. Although she is still suspected of committing a crime, at least she can accept Xie Xin's abuse in a polite way. And she is also a very strong woman. It is obvious that she can no longer bear it.
He still refused to let go of the thank you letter and insisted on admitting defeat.
Of course, Xie Xin cannot be as familiar with her. In fact, the incidents between the two of them are not very frequent. It will take a few years for it to really become a big deal.
After finally coaxing Wang Rong to sleep, Xie Xin opened the system interface.
This thing is in his mind, so even if he opens it, it will be like meditating and it will not cause too much misunderstanding.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission 'Challenging the Four Wilds'. The number of successful verbal battles is two. The system will now make deductions based on the strength of the opponent to determine the rewards the host will receive."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: a "Neat Design Drawing of the Military Academy Building Complex"; experience, elixirs, jade, and gold coins; two lottery opportunities and one chance for adventure."
"A new round of main quests: 'As everyone knows', increase the reputation of the school to 5000."
"Qi Yu, what is that?!" Xie Xin was quickly attracted by the so-called Qi Yu.
