Tan Zhongchi's hearty laughter immediately infected others.
Except for Qin Wushuang, the other twelve core disciples were greatly encouraged. They had followed Tan Zhongchi for many years and knew that if their master's character was not very pleasant, they would never laugh so heartily.
"Three hundred points, good job. Wushuang, I am very lucky to be a teacher now. I was lucky enough to put down my dignity and win you over with the third and fifth hall masters. Haha, I believe that during this period of time, the third and fifth hall masters have been very happy.
I regret it all. The third child has been very at odds with me recently, and it seems that he is still worried about this matter in his heart. Hahaha."
Tan Zhongchi laughed again and again.
"You twelve core disciples, your assessment scores have all been stable and improved. Just try to maintain them. This kind of assessment is not difficult for you. You have left some room for the teacher's way, so it's okay. As long as you avoid being in the gutter.
If the ship capsizes, it's up to you how to use your strength. As a teacher, I don't want to dwell on it. But after the core disciple ranking competition begins, you must be very energetic."
When Tan Zhongchi said this, he grinned and said with a strange smile: "Let me give you a thorough explanation. This year's core disciple ranking competition is different from previous years. Not only will there be special rewards, but there will also be special opportunities. The higher the ranking, the better the treatment will be.
It will get better. Especially the top ten! This time, I hope that we can complete the breakthrough of three top ten places and change history!"
In history, the lineages other than the main hall master have never occupied three places in the top ten. There are only two at most!
This history needs people to break it.
Tan Zhongchi very much hopes to break this history by his own hands and create a new history. This is one of his ambitions at this stage.
"Wushuang." Tan Zhongchi suddenly shouted.
"Disciple is here." Qin Wushuang took a step forward.
"My teacher has set a target for you. Do you dare to challenge it?" Tan Zhongchi said with a smile.
"Master, please speak." Qin Wushuang was not ambiguous at all.
"Okay, in the senior disciple assessment, there have been nearly ten examples of perfect scores in history. The last time it happened was sixteen years ago. At that time, it was created by Wei Yi, who is from the main line of the main hall. This record has been frozen.
It has been sealed for sixteen years!"
"Now, my teacher's expectation for you is to hit this record and try to reproduce the record sixteen years ago. Do you have the confidence?" Tan Zhongchi's eyes suddenly became extremely solemn. Looking at Qin Wushuang, he was filled with excitement.
The meaning of expectation.
Qin Wushuang said solemnly: "Disciple must go all out and not let Master down."
"good!"
Tan Zhongchi chuckled and said: "If you can complete this move, it will be another record! Historically, senior disciples who have obtained full marks have always come from the lineage of the main hall master. If you can enter the ranks of full marks, then we Qingyun
Temple, will also create a new record."
When Qin Wushuang heard what his master said, he thought of his care and kindness to him, and secretly made up his mind to get this perfect score to make his master's face more respectable.
Other core disciples also stepped forward to encourage them: "Junior Brother Wushuang, those of us who are senior brothers would like to congratulate you in advance for setting a new record and for fighting for our Qingyun Palace lineage."
Zhou Fu also smiled and said: "I firmly believe that Junior Brother Wushuang will definitely be able to enter the ranks of perfect scores. His future will definitely not be lost to that of Senior Brother Wei Yi."
Tan Zhongchi chuckled and said: "Fu'er, don't put too much pressure on Wushuang. When practicing together, let's let nature take its course. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Only when you have a firm goal, move forward, have no distractions, and don't worry about gains and losses, can you go forward.
Climb to higher peaks. Appropriate pressure can become motivation; too much pressure can become resistance to cultivation!"
"Disciple has learned the lesson." A group of disciples nodded.
"Okay, you all should leave. We will continue tomorrow. Our Qingyun Palace lineage will definitely create a surprise for Xingluo Palace this time, haha." Tan Zhongchi looked very ambitious.
Zhou Fu suddenly pursed her lips and asked with a smile: "Master, you just said that there will be special rewards in this core disciple ranking competition. How is it different from previous years?"
Tan Zhongchi smiled and said: "You don't need to ask about this now. The five palace masters have agreed. It will never be leaked before the ranking is over. It's good for you to know about this. The specific reward will be answered when the time comes."
"Yes." Zhou Fu had no choice but to suppress her curiosity.
After bidding farewell to Tan Zhongchi, a group of core disciples went back to their rooms. When Qin Wushuang was leaving, Zhou Fu suddenly caught up from behind and said with a sweet smile: "Junior brother Wushuang, is it inconvenient for me to have a few words with senior sister?"
Qin Wushuang smiled kindly and had a good impression of this senior sister. He nodded: "Please."
"Then you come with me." Zhou Fu was unambiguous and swept towards the outside of the palace.
Qin Wushuang did not dare to neglect and followed him. After a while, the two of them arrived near the secluded old plum grove behind Qingyun Palace.
This plum forest has always been a major attraction in Qingyun Temple. Normally, the disciples would come for a walk when they have nothing to do. Now that it is the twelfth lunar month, it is a good time to walk in the snow to look for plum blossoms.
Qin Wushuang looked at the beautiful scenery of this plum forest under the night. Every branch was like a white jade bar, crystal clear and as warm as jade, emitting a rich fragrance that hit the nostrils and made people feel relaxed and happy.
"What a beautiful scenery." Qin Wushuang secretly praised it, looking at the beautiful scenery in ecstasy. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he remembered the college campus where he was in his previous life. There used to be a field of cherry blossoms there, which was also a popular scene for filming.
Although the flowers bloom in different seasons, they are still fascinating and intoxicating.
Qin Wushuang has never been confused in this life. He has always kept the vicissitudes of his two lives and the regret for his sister in his previous life deep in his heart. When he suddenly saw this scene, he suddenly felt a sense of gratitude in his heart, thinking of his sister in his previous life.
His voice and smile made his heart ache.
But he was a sensible person after all, and he restrained his painful emotions in a flash. After a while, he felt refreshed and returned to his previous calm state of mind.
"Junior Brother Wushuang, how is the scenery here?" Zhou Fu asked with a smile.
"There is a world like no other, it makes people intoxicated." Qin Wushuang said with emotion.
"This plum grove is said to have a history of hundreds of years. It has never withered or aged. It is said that it has also received the spiritual power of our Xingluo Palace and absorbed the essence of heaven and earth. It has become the unique scenery of our Qingyun Palace. But it is located in
Not many people in the outer palace know about this secluded place."
Qin Wushuang smiled and said: "Plum blossoms are originally a lonely flower. They have no intention of competing for spring and will be jealous of others. Otherwise, how could it choose to bloom in the cold winter months instead of competing with spring flowers? I think it is better to plant this kind of flower.
Pian Meilin's senior must be an elegant person."
Zhou Fu acquiesced and remained silent. After a moment, she suddenly sighed quietly: "The person who planted this plum forest is said to be the previous master of Qingyun Palace."
Speaking of this, Zhou Fu seemed to have been touched, and murmured: "Is there no intention of fighting for love, to make everyone jealous? Junior Brother Wushuang, is this elegant sentence inspired by you?"
Qin Wushuang couldn't help but laugh a little when he heard her question, but he forgot that this was in another world, and his elegant words were naturally a little jarring to Zhou Fu's ears.
He didn't dare to steal beauty, especially in front of this senior sister, and he didn't even bother to lie. He shook his head and said: "It was created by predecessors, I just read it by chance."
Zhou Fu smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Wushuang is good at both civil and military skills. This is a different kind of thing in our Xingluo Palace."
"My little brother is not good at literature and martial arts, how dare he claim to be both civilized and martial arts. Senior sister, please stop flattering me." Qin Wushuang said modestly.
Zhou Fu smiled softly again and suddenly asked: "Junior Brother Wushuang, do you know what Senior Sister wants to say to you when she comes to see you today?"
Qin Wushuang said respectfully: "Sister, please give me your instructions."
Zhou Fuyu smiled brightly, as beautiful as the blooming plum branches: "Junior brother Wushuang, you are not allowed to be so arrogant in front of senior sister. When you were gambling in the arena, you acted recklessly and were not even afraid of the threats of the main hall master's lineage. Why are you here?
How are you so different in front of Senior Sister? Our Master is of the same lineage, and you will be able to feel it as time goes by. I came to you today because I want to tell you something."
"Sister, please tell me." Qin Wushuang said with a helpless smile.
"Well, Master is very happy today. As a senior disciple, I have been with Master for more than ten years. This is the first time that I have seen Master laugh so heartily. Junior Brother Wushuang, just for this reason alone, you have already
Surpassing our twelve core disciples." Zhou Fu sighed, "I can also see that Master has a lot of trust in you. Master is lonely and even arrogant in his heart. He has many ambitions.
, but rarely impose these ambitions on us disciples. However, we disciples, over the years, have worked hard to share the worries of Master. Unfortunately, we people have never been able to do anything for Master.
to more.”
There was a trace of sadness and regret in Zhou Fu's tone.
"Senior sister, let me share your worries with you. The future is long and we are all still young..." Qin Wushuang saw that Zhou Fu's tone was slightly sad and couldn't help but advise.
Zhou Fu shook her head: "Young? Junior Brother Wushuang, it seems that the twelve core disciples are all young. But this is because the innate strong ones have the ability to keep their appearance. The oldest among us is already over fifty years old. Apart from you, Senior Sister
The youngest among us, but still many years older than you."
"But I don't know how old senior sister is?" Qin Wushuang blinked and asked with a smile.
Zhou Fu knew that Qin Wushuang meant to make her happy, so she smiled and said: "I was twelve years old when I entered the profession. After this year, it will be my fourteenth year of entry. Senior sister, how old do you think I am?
"
"Twenty-five?" Qin Wushuang blurted out and sighed, "Based on appearance, walking outside, people would only think that I am your senior brother, and they would never think that you are my senior sister."
He didn't expect that Senior Sister Zhou Fu would turn out to be so young.
