The location of the Qi'an Mountain Range is the southernmost part of the Southern Regions, so even if it is placed in the mission hall of the seven major sects of the Southern Regions in normal times, this is also the kind of wasteland where students do not come all year round, plus Bi Tianjie and his party have only just arrived here, so it is naturally impossible to be very familiar with the sects here.

Therefore, Bi Tianjie is not clear about the very low enrollment conditions of Qinghuang Academy.

Moreover, disciples like them from the first-class sects in the Southern Regions have always been high-eyed and low-handed, after all, the reputation of the sect is there, and there is no shortage of people who want to come in even if they squeeze their heads.

Originally, they were not interested in the triennial student recruitment conference held by these small sects near the Qi'an Mountains, but because of the Condensation Spirit Fruit in the Qi'an Mountains this time, they each took over the task of recruiting some outstanding students here.

If it weren't for the fact that this mission was a common agreement made by the seven major sects for outstanding disciples, it would be extremely rare for several people to be able to chat together calmly like this.

"Really?" Ye Xiaokai looked at Bi Tianjie with a harmless face, and felt a little unconvinced, this guy was still angry with himself just now, how could he be okay in the blink of an eye?

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can ask the others, you also saw that we are with the sister just now, does that sister look like a bad person?" Bi Tianjie smiled, but he was not in a hurry.

"Not really. Ye Xiaokai looked at the food in his hand and said sporadically, but you are like it, Ye Xiaokai thought in his heart.

"So of course we can't be bad guys, hehe, I just want to remind you out of good intentions, it doesn't matter to me whether you go or not. ”

Bi Tianjie shrugged his shoulders, wanting to get away with it, and put on a look that I can only help you get here at most, but he kept scolding in his heart, little bastard, you should go quickly.

"I'll go now. Ye Xiaokai frowned, lowered his head and thought for a few breaths before raising his head again and staring at Bi Tianjie seriously.

His mother just wanted to send him to Qinghuang Academy to sign up and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, if he really missed it, then how could he be worthy of his mother.

Although Ye Xiaokai was only ten years old, when he thought of his mother, his mentality became a little mature, and he immediately decided to go to the foot of the mountain immediately, even if this guy lied to himself, he would go there, as for promising Zhong Mengyun, he was left behind by Ye Xiaokai at this moment.

......

"Brother Bi, you are very unkind. After Ye Xiaokai left, Liao Wenlin joked and mocked.

"Haha, what did Brother Liao say, I didn't do anything bad on Bi Tianjie, why am I not kind, it should be said that I also helped this little kid. Bi Tianjie's face was indifferent.

"If the gentleman's subordinates are all like you, I'm afraid there will be no successor soon, I think you still have to think about how to explain to Zhong Mengyun, that woman is not a fool, if it affects the future alliance, then don't blame my sword for not being emotional. Li Sheng said indifferently.

"Hmph. Bi Tianjie's face shook, he didn't say much, and the sharp light in his eyes flashed.

"Senior Brother Li is right, who of you are not here to prepare for the Qi Sea Path for the spirit fruit tree in the Qi'an Mountains, and we should turn a blind eye to other small things, and listen to them. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was stagnant, Xiang Tiankai took the initiative to smile and said, but what kind of temper Zhong Mengyun was, he also understood, but it was impossible to turn his face with everyone because of such a trivial matter, so Li Sheng's words were a bit exaggerated, which was also the reason why he did not stop Bi Tianjie from flickering Ye Xiaokai.

......

The sun was faint and the mountain road was long, Ye Xiaokai ran and stopped all the way, and when he walked to the foot of the mountain, half an afternoon had passed, and the light was not so dazzling.

As far as the eye can see, camps large and small are stationed in piles in the distance, as lively as the bazaars in their villages and towns, and the crowds are bustling and lively.

Ye Xiaokai took a breath, feeling a little confused, and after standing in place for a long time, he found that many passers-by began to look him up and down with strange eyes, Ye Xiaokai was very puzzled.

"Big brother, do you know where Qinghuang Academy is? Ye Xiaokai was silent for a moment, and in his hesitation, he grabbed a blue-clothed monk who was passing by.

"Over there. The blue-clothed monk pointed his finger over, but after looking at Ye Xiaokai, he couldn't help but add: "If you are less than twelve years old, you are not allowed to join any sect, this is the unified rule of the Southern Regions Academy, and anyone who enters the sect needs to be tested, and the same is true for Qinghuang Academy." ”

"Huh?" Ye Xiaokai's face was embarrassed, I see, no wonder so many people looked at him just now, he had indeed just turned ten years old.

"And even if you're old, you'll need a lot of copper coins for the entry test, so do it yourself, little brother. The blue-clothed monk sighed secretly and walked away, although he couldn't tell Ye Xiaokai's real age, but Ye Xiaokai was too small, and it was strange to be able to pass.

Ye Xiaokai fell silent when he heard this, not to mention that he didn't meet the age standard, even if he did, he didn't have a copper coin needed for the test, you must know that a poor child like him usually comes all year round, and only a few days of special festivals will get a copper coin reward from his parents, and if he doesn't spend it for a few days, he will be confiscated by his parents under the pretext of helping to store it.

Ye Xiaokai swept his gaze towards the crowd again, feeling a little sad in his heart.

"No, for the sake of my mother, I'm going to give it a try, what if I can?"

After a few struggles, Ye Xiaokai still decided to give it a try, he had come all the way to get here, and he couldn't do nothing, besides, many things couldn't be as good as he wanted.

Following the direction of the blue-clothed monk, Ye Xiaokai found the location of Qinghuang Academy with some uncertainty, the reason why he was uncertain was because Ye Xiaokai didn't know many words, and he could only barely identify them according to everyone's discussions.

Although it was the afternoon of the last day of enrollment, there was still a queue of thirty or forty people in front of the gate of Qinghuang Academy, and many people at the front of the team shook their heads and sighed in disbelief after failing the test, and finally disappeared into the crowd of people in the past.

Ye Xiaokai lined up at the back of the line, almost unable to see anything, and could only follow the occasional crowd of people, taking two steps forward from time to time.

"Alas, today is the last day for Qinghuang Academy to recruit disciples, and I don't know if I can pass the test, my cousin said that although Qinghuang Academy has just been established, the facilities inside are not worse than those old academies. ”

One person in front of Ye Xiaokai whispered to the other.

"Yes, but today is the last day of enrollment of Qinghuang Academy, the quota of two hundred people is already enough, and Qinghuang Academy has rejected at least tens of thousands of people in the past half a month, I have never heard that it is so difficult to enter. ”

"Maybe it's been developed recently, and I need some talented disciples. ”

The two of them muttered quietly, looking like they were both fifteen or sixteen years old, after Ye Xiaokai heard these words, he was inexplicably a little nervous, and from time to time he stood up and wanted to take a look at the situation in front of him.

In a trance, Ye Xiaokai was finally taken his turn.

"Deacon Zhang,......"

Ye Xiaokai was about to speak excitedly, when a young man suddenly came out of the station and whispered a few words to an elderly man who had been enrolled all afternoon.

After a while, the old man frowned, thought for a moment, got up and looked at the line, fortunately, there were not many people, and then nodded.

"I am very sorry to tell you that the number of students in Qinghuang Academy has been recruited enough, and in order to help everyone as much as possible, the number of people has exceeded the budget by fifty, so I announce that Qinghuang Academy has officially stopped recruiting this time, and the rest of the people have dispersed. ”

Zhang Tao waved his hand at the people behind him, and everyone was dejected when they heard this, and after a few breaths, they all dispersed, after all, many of them planned to take advantage of the last day to try their luck.

"Why aren't you leaving?"

Zhang Tao frowned and looked at the little boy in front of him, who had been indifferent since he spoke just now.

"I ...... I want to join Qinghuang Academy. Ye Xiaokai had a hint of begging and sincerity in his voice.

"No, I can't. Zhang Tao shook his head and decisively refused, this little boy is obviously not yet at the age of his bones, and no matter how low the threshold of their Qinghuang Academy is, there is a standard.

"Don't say that the number of people needed by the academy is enough, it's just not enough, and your bone age is not up to standard, so it is impossible for the academy to recruit you in. ”

Seeing that Ye Xiaokai was still indifferent, Zhang Tao frowned and admonished.

Zhang Tao is the outer deacon of Qinghuang Academy, and he is a real late-stage monk of the Qi Sea Dao, so he can naturally see Ye Xiaokai's age at a glance, at this age, it is absolutely impossible for Qinghuang Academy to accept it.
