Chapter 7: Mutations
Faced with the evaluation result of "mediocre qualifications", everyone present was surprised.
After all, the name of the scholar has long been resounding in Wantianzhou, and the word "why bother" symbolizes talent, and the legend he created is known to women and children in this Wantianxing Province. Everyone present thought that if he was mediocre, then most people might not even be considered inferior.
As for the person concerned, his face was flat, and he couldn't see too many emotional changes.
In fact, He Ku's back was covered with cold sweat at this time, but it was evaporated by him with his spiritual power in an instant. He didn't care about the results of the assessment, but still had lingering palpitations about the strange heat in the meridians just now.
It brought a strong aura of danger to He Ku, especially when it went directly towards He Ku's spiritual aperture, and even felt a threat of suffocation, if it invaded the spiritual aperture, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He didn't know if he was the only one who experienced this surprise, or if everyone present was shocked by this heat. Among the people who participated in the assessment, he must be the only one who has already opened the spiritual aperture, and has a stronger ability to perceive and predict dangers. After all, why bother that the soul consciousness has been opened, and it can face the threat brought by this heat.
What's more, why bother to rely on the help of the Bitter Road Forbidden Book to get rid of that heat, presumably the Bitter Road Forbidden Book also thinks that this is not a good thing that comes straight to the spiritual aperture.
Seeing such a result, everyone in the He family outside the venue showed an expression of disbelief, and there was a vague embarrassment on their faces.
He Ku is the best existence of the He family over the years, whether it is an amazing memory ability or a cultivation talent, it is very accessible.
Fifteen-year-old He Ku is not only the youngest Eighth Order of the He Family's Mortal Realm, but also the youngest junior of the He Family to participate in the selection this time. But if it is determined that his qualifications are mediocre, the people of the He family cannot accept this result.
He Mi'er's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she looked at He Ku, who was still standing in front of the evaluation of the spirit weapon, with a sad face.
If anyone knows He Ku best, it is He Mi'er, she knows what He Ku's nature is, and it is not as detached as rumored. He is just a fifteen-year-old boy who made this scholarly gesture in order to avoid trouble.
What's more, he has not suffered any setbacks since he was born, and the journey has been smooth, He Mier is worried that his heart will be affected by the assessment, which is not conducive to the subsequent selection.
The two brothers, He Feipeng and He Feiyu, whispered to their heads, not knowing what the two were plotting, and did not seem to have the slightest interest in He Ku's assessment results.
And Mu Yingran, who was far away from the field, was even more eager to see through it, and her hands clasped together could see her uncalm heart.
"How can this be! Is there something wrong with this spiritual weapon?" He De's face turned pale, after all, He Ku was the foundation of his establishment in the He family, if He Ku did not achieve good results in this selection, his status in the He family may not be guaranteed.
But no one seemed to care about He De's protest, but it provoked a burst of ridicule from the rest of the family.
On the top of the city tower of the Governor's Mansion, several powerful and powerful people saw this scene with different expressions.
Provincial Governor Ye Haiqiong frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something. He had also heard of the name of He Ku, and such a result was obviously beyond his expectations.
As for the head of the Xie family, Xie Jingjia leaned over and said something to the mysterious girl, who nodded frequently, and his meaningful smile was faintly visible at the corner of his mouth.
Wen Huaren, the head of the Wen family, and Ming Shoucheng, the god of wealth of the Ming family, looked indifferent, as if the affairs of this junior could not make the hearts of these two fluctuate.
As for He Xiong, the head of the He family, his face was gloomy at the moment, and the He family's greatest hope of winning the top spot was only mediocre in the first round of selection. Let him have to worry that this year the He family will repeat the mistakes of the past, and generally fall into the top four again four years ago, that is, the He family's status in Wantian Province will plummet.
Just one round of selection and evaluation results, there are already a few happy and a few worried. Of course, it seems that the He family is now the most worried of the four major families.
......
It was still the darkness of the unknown place, and there were figures flickering.
A black shadow seemed to kneel: "Your Highness, you have found out, what is the trouble." Then he reported on his performance during the evaluation process.
The man known as His Highness had only a black back, tapping on the table.
I saw him say in a deep voice: "Kill him, clean hands and feet." ”
The black shadow hesitated for a moment: "But Your Highness, his identity ......"
"it!"
"Yes, my subordinates have orders!" the dark shadow saluted and turned to leave.
"Come back!" the Highness reached out and handed something to the Shadow, "Use your brains to do things! ”
The shadow saluted again and disappeared into the darkness.
......
On the tower of the Governor's Mansion, Governor Ye Haiqiong listened to the evaluation results of the attendant's report, and bowed slightly.
"In the first round of selection, there were one hundred and twenty-three people with excellent qualifications, and nine hundred and twenty-seven people with mediocre qualifications. The rest of them will be eliminated!" Ye Haiqiong told in a loud voice.
Listening to the results recorded, everyone was also amazed, thousands of people after a round of selection only a thousand people remained, which shows that their qualification evaluation is not a simple matter.
"In the second round of selection, those with superior qualifications will pass directly, and the top third of those with mediocre qualifications will enter the next round, and the rest will be eliminated!" Ye Haiqiong continued to announce the rules.
"The second round of selection is a written test, the empire does not need some reckless men who can only punch and kick, the art of war, strategy, martial arts and historical facts are all tested, and those who pass the results can enter the next round of selection. ”
As soon as these rules came out, the expressions of everyone present became a little meaningful, especially the eyes that looked at the He family.
This round of selection seems to be tailor-made for the He family, after all, the reputation of the scholar is by no means in vain, and the books he has read in the past ten years are by no means empty talk.
"Could it be that this old man He Xiong bribed the governor?" He Ku himself was also surprised by this round of selection, after all, he has a unique advantage in such an assessment method, and it is inevitable that others will criticize him.
In the eyes of everyone, the existence of this round of selection is entirely due to the fact that the scholars of the He family failed to achieve good results in the first round of selection, in order to give the He family a sufficient step.
As for He Xiong, the head of the He family on the tower of the Governor's Mansion, his face was also cloudy at this time, and he had not colluded with the Governor's Mansion to carry out this second round of selection, but now in such a situation, even if he had the heart to explain, he was powerless to change everyone's minds.
The current situation, even if it is really what everyone speculated, no one dares to say it directly, after all, the He family is not something that ordinary people can offend. As for the other three major families, they will not touch the mold of the He family at this time, the He family is in an embarrassing situation, it is better to sell them a face than to offend them.
The second round of selection, although there is a suspicion of helping the He family, is not unreasonable. After all, the palace also needs a considerable number of writers to write, or to compile the history of the royal family, or to write the imperial decrees. Therefore, people who are well-versed in the past and present can also make a difference in the royal family.
"The second round of selection begins!" With Ye Haiqiong's order, all the original qualification evaluation spirit weapons fell, and hundreds of tables rose, and there were still test papers used in the selection on them, and hundreds of people who were judged to be "mediocre qualifications" were seated.
As a member with mediocre qualifications, why bother to sit in it. After a while, the waiters brought pen and ink inkstones to answer.
In the face of such a selection, He Ku also had some doubts in his heart, which was indeed not a difficult thing for him, but he was inevitably suspected of privilege.
Shaking his head slightly, he no longer cares about these unnecessary things, after all, why bother with his own true talent and learning, and he doesn't need to worry about the eyes of others.
Gently shake the ink block, a little water, and dripping ink appeared in the inkstone, He Ku was keenly aware of a slight fragrance, but he didn't care. After all, it is reasonable for the ink to have a slight taste, and the ink tastes different depending on the ink block used, which is why he has had a little experience in ink research over the years.
looked at the test papers on the table, why bother, but couldn't help but be stunned, the assessment content was really not enough for him. Why bother holding a brush and dipping it lightly in ink, there is a spirit in the pen. I didn't pay attention to the moment the pen touched the ink, and a rush was born, and I was sucked into my body by all of them.
On the other hand, like a dragon entering the sea, he has almost completed the test paper in less than half an hour.
Looking around, I saw that everyone was scratching their ears and cheeks, and it was difficult to gnaw down a few questions after racking their brains, after all, this had nothing to do with cultivation, and if they didn't understand it, it was really difficult to come up with an answer.
In a short time, He Ku had already completed all the questions, put down the brush in his hand, took a long breath of relief, sat up and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"It is worthy of being a scholar, and he has completed the assessment so quickly. Those present couldn't help but sigh.
"Whether you can pass the assessment is not certain, maybe it's just a matter of saving face!"
"What you say is inappropriate, the name of a scholar is genuine!"
......
Although several people were red-faced from the dispute, why bother still sat in it.
When He bothered to stabilize his mind and look into himself, He Ku, who had never revealed his emotions, turned blue at this moment. He found that his spiritual power had collapsed, and although his meridians were still strong, his lower spiritual aperture had undergone earth-shattering changes......
