At the end of the 105th year of the Kyushu Calendar, Canglan Kingdom entered into the festive atmosphere of the New Year and became lively.
On Fuzi Mountain, there is also a bit more of a New Year atmosphere.
In front of the thatched cottage, there is a stone table, neither big nor small. There are some meals on the stone table, including meat and vegetables.
Although these meals cannot be compared with the delicacies in the city, they are still pretty good compared to the simple meals served in Confucius Mountain before.
Originally, Chu Qingli planned to end the year in practice as in previous years, but Xiao Muyang believed that the New Year should be like a Chinese New Year, so he cooked some meals with his own hands. As for the game, he got it from hunting in the mountains.
The food was put on the table, and the aroma was fragrant. A thick fragrance filled the air and floated everywhere. Even though Chu Qingli had not eaten for many years, she actually had some appetite at this moment.
"It smells so good." A look of wonder appeared on Chu Qingli's face, she looked at Xiao Muyang beside her and praised with a smile: "Junior brother is so amazing, he can actually cook."
"I learned from my mother when I was young. Although I don't have her skills, I should still be able to eat them." Xiao Muyang said with a smile. Looking at the food on the table, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He was thankful.
Fortunately, I wasn't lazy back then.
"To me, it's already great." Chu Qingli said from the bottom of her heart. She had never seen such a good meal.
"After that, I often cook to make senior sister a feast." Xiao Muyang said with a smile.
"Okay." Chu Qingli smiled.
"Eat." Xiao Muyang looked at the food on the table and nodded clearly: "Yes."
"Ahem..." Just as the two of them raised their chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, a coughing sound came from the thatched house, and then an old figure walked out and glanced at the two people beside the stone table, his face seemed a little unhappy.
"No matter how big or small, the teacher hasn't even served it to the table, and you're actually starting to eat it?" the old man shouted, striding towards the stone table.
Xiao Muyang and Chu Qingli's expressions were frozen there, unable to react for a moment.
Teachers also need to eat?
"Teacher, didn't you never eat before?" Chu Qingli asked in confusion.
"The past was before, and the present is now. Today, the teacher is in a good mood, so he will have a meal with you." The old man said calmly, then walked to the seat of honor and sat down.
"Maybe the food I cooked was too fragrant and made the teacher wake up from his sleep, right?" Xiao Muyang said half-jokingly, otherwise, why would the teacher suddenly come out?
The old man glanced at the food on the table casually, then looked at Xiao Muyang and said disdainfully: "That's it?"
"..." Xiao Muyang's expression froze, do you want to hit people like this?
"I traveled all over the world and tasted so many delicacies. Fairies poured wine for me, and the Supreme Lord bowed to me. I don't know how beautiful it was." The old man said with an extremely proud expression, which made the two people next to him stunned.
The fairy pours wine, and the Supreme bows?
Can it be more exaggerated?
"Since the teacher doesn't like this, why not go back and have a good rest and reminisce about the glorious years." Xiao Muyang said with a smile.
"Although it can't be eaten, it is your hard work after all, so I'll just eat some if I can." The old man said, and glanced at Xiao Muyang as he spoke. His eyes seemed to say that I would be more considerate of you.
Xiao Muyang blinked, is this really the case?
"Okay, let's eat." The old man said calmly. After that, he picked up a piece of meat and brought it to his mouth. He chewed it a few times and finished it. Then he picked up the second piece, the third piece... and the ones on the side.
Xiao Muyang and Chu Qingli were both stunned.
"Didn't the teacher just say that he couldn't eat it? Why did he eat so much?" Chu Qingli looked at the old man and asked softly.
The old man's face trembled, and then he explained seriously: "I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to eat, so I shared some of it with you. It's all your junior brother's hard work, don't waste it."
"Oh." Chu Qingli responded, and the corners of Xiao Muyang's mouth couldn't help but twitch, which meant that he was convinced.
Then Xiao Muyang and Chu Qingli started to pick up the food, but the old man was faster than them, and kept chanting: "I am already old, and I have eaten all kinds of delicacies. It doesn't matter if you eat some vulgar food, you are still young."
, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, don’t hold on.”
However, Xiao Muyang and Chu Qingli seemed not to hear it and continued to pick up food.
Not long after, the food on the table was eaten clean by the three of them, leaving nothing behind.
"Teacher, I see you are very happy when you eat it. Is it really that bad?" Xiao Muyang looked at the old man with a half-smile and asked, but he knew very well in his heart.
"What you see is all an illusion. You don't understand the pain in my heart as a teacher." The old man had an incomprehensible look on his face. Then he stood up, looked at the two of them and said lightly: "Continue to practice after eating. Don't be lazy.
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he continued walking towards the thatched cottage.
"He went in to sleep again. He came out just to eat." Xiao Muyang looked at the old man's back and whispered in a low voice. He just ate what he ate and said that his food was unpalatable. This was... so heartbreaking.
"Teachers have always been like this, just get used to it." Chu Qingli smiled slightly and Xiao Muyang nodded. Over the past two months, he had got to know this teacher deeply.
At the same time, Yuncang Academy was also immersed in the lively atmosphere at the end of the year, and some things that happened in the past gradually faded in the memories of the crowd.
Only a few people still remember that two months ago, a genius was expelled from Yuncang Academy.
For the disciples of Yuncang Academy, the end of the year also means that a major event is coming, and that is the year-end competition.
The year-end competition was scheduled for the last day of the year 105, and there were only the last few days left, so many disciples began to practice hard, hoping to achieve good results in the competition.
In a courtyard, two old figures were lying on the imperial chair, basking in the sun. These two people were Yun Lun and Hong Yin.
"It's been more than two months, and I don't know how that kid is doing." Yun Lun suddenly spoke, causing Hong Yin's eyes to freeze for a moment. He naturally knew who the person Yun Lun was pointing to was.
A genius boy from Tiancang City.
"Since Fuzishan sent people to take him away, he will not be treated badly, so don't worry." Hong Yin comforted him softly.
"How much do you know about Confucius Mountain?" Yun Lun suddenly looked at Hong Yin. Hong Yin was older than him and must have known something about Confucius Mountain.
"I don't know much about it. If I remember correctly, Meishan and Confucius Mountain became famous at about the same time. Confucius Mountain was slightly earlier, and then the one from Meishan became famous." Hong Yin suddenly thought of something,
He added: "Before the old palace master left, he seemed to have visited Confucius Mountain once."
"Old Palace Master has been there?" Yun Lun couldn't help but reveal a strange look in his eyes, and asked curiously: "What did he say?"
"I didn't say anything. After coming back, the old master left the school not long after. I don't know if it had something to do with that master." Hong Yin replied.
Yunlun remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
If there is really a relationship between this, then how strong must the Master be?
However, the old master of the palace has left, and no one knows the truth. Everything is just speculation.
…………
A few days later, the year-end competition finally arrived.
The Yuncang Academy was extremely lively on this day. Countless people gathered in the Xuanwu Building. In addition to the disciples, there were also many teachers and elders from the academy to witness the competition.
Only disciples below the Heaven Realm need to participate in the year-end competition, but there are still some Tianfu disciples present, naturally wanting to see what dark horses emerge this year.
The person who presided over the big competition was an elder. He looked at the crowd around him and said: "The big score is divided into two halves. The first half is the knockout round, and the second half is the qualifying round. Each round has ten battlefields played at the same time.
The battle will end as soon as possible, and there must be no casualties or casualties, otherwise you will be deprived of the qualification for the competition."
The end-of-year competition tests the results of daily practice, not the battlefield, as long as the winner is determined. Every disciple in the academy is the future pillar of Canglan Kingdom, so naturally there can be no casualties.
"Next, those whose names I heard will go to the ring to compete." The elder looked at the crowd and said loudly.
"Xu Wu, Liu Dongyang."
"Wu Yue, Mo Chen."
"Chen Jianghe, Xue Lin."
"…………"
Names came out one by one from the elders' mouths, until people stood on the ten arenas, a total of twenty people, and started fighting at the same time.
These twenty people have the same cultivation level, they are all at the second level of the Spiritual Wheel. These people are all disciples of the Human Realm who entered the academy this year, so their cultivation level is not high.
Soon, every arena erupted with a fierce fighting atmosphere. All the disciples showed off their skills and brought their strength to the extreme. When the victory or defeat was decided, some were happy and some were sad.
Every time you win a battle, the school will give you a certain level of reward. The more battles you win, the richer the reward will be.
And if you lose in the first game, you will be directly eliminated from the competition. Not only will you not get a reward, but you will also be punished.
Unknowingly, the eight rounds of the competition passed, and when the ninth round began, the names of disciples in the fourth realm of the spiritual wheel began to be read one after another.
"Mufeng, Qin Ya." A voice came from the elder's mouth.
As soon as the words fell, the space suddenly became silent.
Many people had a strange look on their faces. These two names were very familiar to them. Qin Ya entered the underworld as the number one, while Mu Feng was the third in the Yuncang Trial. They were both influential figures.
However, after arriving at the school, their life trajectories changed dramatically.
Mufeng rose up in an extremely dazzling manner, surpassing countless old students in strength, and even obtained the qualification to enter the Xuanling Valley. Except for the person who had been expelled from the school, no one among the freshmen who enrolled together could match him.
In comparison, Qin Ya seemed much gloomier.
At this moment, Mu Feng and Qin Ya were placed on a stage. It was not known whether the elder did this intentionally or not.
"I'm going." In one direction of the crowd, Mu Feng said to the two figures beside him. These two people were Yunlin and Yunfei.
"Go." Yunlin smiled and nodded at Mu Feng. He had no doubt about Mu Feng's strength and would definitely win this battle.
"Brother Mu, come on." Yun Fei said softly, with a look of expectation in her beautiful eyes. Mu Fengxiao glanced at her and said confidently: "Don't worry."
After saying that, he walked towards one arena, and at the same time, Qin Ya walked towards the arena from another direction.
Looking at Mu Feng's figure, his face looked a little gloomy.
He heard many people's comments. Everyone was optimistic about Mu Feng and looked down upon him. However, he was not convinced. Over the past few months, he had been practicing hard all day long and his strength had improved tremendously in order to stand out in the competition.
Since everyone thinks that Mu Feng will win, then he will use this battle to prove his brilliance!
