Chapter 439: Imperial City Sacred Courtyard (10)
Looking at Ji Dong's mysterious smile, and then thinking of everything Ji Dong said, Jian Qingqing's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of panic, but he no longer dared to look at Ji Dong.
She is not a fool, everything has already been said to this point, if she doesn't understand it anymore, then she is not worthy of being a disciple of the Holy Academy.
"Senior Brother Ji Dong already knew, right?"
With a bitter smile, a trace of apology flashed in her eyes, she lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake, and didn't dare to look at Ji Dong's eyes at all.
"Know what? Senior sister doesn't need to think about it, I just said it casually. Seeing Jian Qingqing's pitiful appearance, Ji Dong couldn't help but shake his head, reached out and patted the other party's shoulder, "I can understand Senior Sister's thoughts, so Senior Sister doesn't need to have any self-blame." β
He did feel a little unhappy at first about Jian Qingqing not telling him the identity of the Wood Superpower, but now that he thinks about it, the reason why Jian Qingqing didn't tell him is actually human nature.
Since he started cultivating, he has seen not too few Five Elements Superpowers, Guan Yue, the Great Elder of Qindu University, Lei Zhenhu, and Song Mian not far away, these people are all Five Elements Superpowers, and except for Lei Zhenhu, the Lord of the Thundercloud Mansion, who has long been famous, the other Five Elements Superpowers seem to be unknown.
Putting aside others, even an old powerhouse like Guan Yue, the outside world may not know that he is a Five Elements superpowerhouse.
To put it bluntly, the Five Elements Superpower will have a sense of self-protection, although Jian Qingqing has not been a Five Elements Superpower for a long time, it should also be the case.
"Senior Brother Ji Dong............" raised her head suddenly, Jian Qingqing could see that Ji Dong really didn't blame her, seeing this, a mist couldn't help but rise in her eyes, but she was finally pressed down.
"Okay, okay, Senior Sister, this matter really needs to be considered by yourself, but then again, although Elder Yu seems to be a little repulsive thousands of miles away, but after all, she is a woman, and I think that if Senior Sister worships under Elder Yu's door, it should be a better choice."
With a straight look, Ji Dong obviously didn't want to discuss too much on inconsequential matters, no matter what, Jian Qingqing's future was the most important, and he had to think about it.
Elder Yu does give people a very cold feeling, but this kind of person is generally cold on the outside and hot on the inside, not to mention that if Jian Qingqing becomes the other party's disciple, the other party should love him even more.
He could think of Elder Yu's true thoughts about wanting to accept Jian Qingqing as a disciple, speaking of which, the Five Elements Superpowers are extremely rare, and the female Five Elements Superpowers are probably even rarer, and now that Elder Jade has discovered Jian Qingqing, it must be as novel as discovering a new continent? Maybe if she missed Jian Qingqing, it would be difficult for her to find a second Five Elements Superpower as a disciple.
"What does Senior Brother Ji Dong mean that I should agree to Elder Yu's proposal?" Jian Qingqing also put aside the unnecessary emotions that affected the relationship between her and Ji Dong at this time, and thought about it seriously.
"These are some of my opinions, as for the final decision, it is still up to the senior sister to make her own decision." The corners of his mouth twitched, Ji Dong's words had come to this point, but he didn't want to continue, because if he continued to talk, this decision would be made by him.
"Yes, I see!"
Nodding, Jian Qingqing's eyes couldn't help but flash a bright color, as if he had made his own decision.
"Squeak!!
While talking, the back door of the pavilion opened again, and this time it was Lu Shenghua from Qindu University who came out.
"Senior Brother Huang, here!"
Seeing Lu Shenghua come out, Ji Dong hurriedly beckoned and motioned for the other party to come to his side.
"Hahaha, Senior Brother Ji Dong, Senior Sister An, I got the identity card of the disciple of the Holy Academy!" Quickly approaching the two, Lu Shenghua fiddled with the identity jade card and said happily to the two.
From a nobody in Qindu University to a disciple in the inner courtyard, this section has changed a lot, and only people like Ji Dong don't feel anything, as for the others, most of them have to be excited for a while.
"Senior Brother Huang, be careful, if you break the identity card, I don't know if Elder Yu will help you make up for it." Seeing Lu Shenghua's happy appearance, Ji Dong couldn't help but smile and reminded lightly.
"What Senior Brother Ji Dong said is, I'd better put this thing away!" When Ji Dong said this, Lu Shenghua hurriedly put away his identity jade plate, for fear that it would be accidentally broken.
"Now that the identity card has arrived, it is estimated that we will be able to see our residence soon, and I don't know if we can stay together."
After putting away the identity jade card, Lu Shenghua's complexion was slightly correct, and suddenly his face was colored and authentic.
Since this period of time, everyone has actually been accustomed to life with Ji Dong by their side, because with Ji Dong by their side, they don't even need to worry about their own safety, once they fight separately, I'm afraid they will really be a little uncomfortable.
"It is estimated that it is difficult, and there is a good chance that the inner courtyard will separate everyone, so as not to rely on each other and make real progress."
Hearing Lu Shenghua's words, Jian Qingqing frowned at this time and expressed his thoughts. However, whether this was her own idea or what she learned from elsewhere, only she knew.
"What Senior Sister Jian Qingqing said is reasonable, I also think that the Holy Courtyard will separate everyone separately in order to achieve the purpose of training everyone."
Nodding, Ji Dong strongly agreed with Jian Qingqing's statement. In fact, it is not difficult to guess that when the Holy Academy recruited them, it must be to cultivate them and make them stronger, but they have different strengths, and it is impossible to train in the same intensity way, so of course they must be separated.
Even in the best-case scenario, I am afraid that people who want to figure out the cultivation will be divided together, but it is impossible for everyone to train together.
"That's it, why do you want to do so much, since you are already a disciple of the Holy Academy, you will just obey the arrangements of the Holy Academy when the time comes." Hearing Jian Qingqing and Ji Dong's conjectures, Lu Shenghua's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of worry, but then he covered it up, "No matter what, everyone is in the same holy courtyard, and they won't be too far away in the future." β
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, Senior Brother Duan Jianghe and Senior Brother Guan Linlin should come out immediately, and after everyone gathers, we should discuss it briefly, at least make an agreement to get together, so as not to find each other later."
With a straight look, Ji Dong frowned and thought for a while, and then said to the two.
At present, everyone has basically made sure to join the inner courtyard, but in his heart, he understands that the holy courtyard is by no means a cradle, and the danger in it may not be what they can imagine now, so they should really make some plans for gathering, lest something happen to someone and everyone else is still in the dark.
"Senior Brother Ji Dong is right, but the date of the gathering, I'm afraid it's hard to determine at the moment, let's wait for Elder Yu to take us to the residence, let's decide according to the situation!"
"That's all it can be!" Nodding, Ji Dong also knew that it was indeed a bit early to say this, but for some reason, he always felt that joining the Holy Academy this time would be accompanied by a great risk, and this feeling did not alleviate with the identity jade plate distributed by the Holy Academy, but became more and more real.
As one rookie disciple after another walked out of the pavilion, soon, the forty-five rookie disciples had all completed the collection of identity cards and the identification of the cultivation realm.
When Elder Yu was the last to come out of the pavilion, everyone in the courtyard hurriedly stopped chatting and stood obediently one by one, waiting for Elder Yu's next orders and arrangements.
It can be seen that although Elder Yu is still indifferent, in the depths of her eyes, there is obviously a trace of joy that is difficult to hide, needless to say, this time to test the rookie disciple, she should have encountered something that made her happy.
"Keep up with me, go!"
Walking out of the pavilion, Elder Yu's gaze swept over everyone's bodies one by one, first making sure that the number of people was correct, and then glancing at Qindu University, and then heading towards the deeper part of the inner courtyard of the inner courtyard.
"Let's go, hurry up, this time it's probably going to take us to the accommodation."
"That's a certainty, the identity card has been issued, and the next thing is naturally to go to the residence, it's really exciting!"
"Although the faΓ§ade of the inner courtyard looks ordinary, the more I go deeper into it, the more I can feel extraordinary, and I already see a bright future beckoning to me."
"Hahaha, although it is a bit exaggerated, but I think it makes sense............"
The group followed Elder Yu and continued to go deeper into the inner courtyard, and every time they went deeper, everyone could find a huge change in the surrounding scene, as everyone said, the deeper they went into the holy courtyard, the more extraordinary everything around them became, and at this point, no one would question the mystery and power of the inner courtyard.
A few people from Qindu University were still in the middle, but no one spoke casually, because not long ago, several young people had already gathered together to discuss a lot of things, and what should be said had basically been said.
I don't know how far they have walked, but under the leadership of Elder Yu, the group came to a building that looked unusually sturdy.
This particular building resembles a fortress, with heavy metal doors almost two meters high, every piece of masonry seems to be a special mineral deposit, and the whole building does not even have a single window, and I don't know what is inside.
At this moment, not far from this special building, a young man seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and when Elder Yu brought people to the front, the young man hurriedly stepped forward, and as he spoke, he came to Elder Yu's approach.
"Disciple see Elder Jade!!"
When he came closer, the young man didn't say a word, he bowed his head to Elder Yu, and knelt down on one knee respectfully, with such a deferential attitude, just like the common people seeing the emperor who was high above, which showed how respected Elder Yu's status in the Holy Courtyard was.
"This ......... What a big gift............"
Seeing the young man kneeling down and saluting Elder Yu, the newcomer disciples on the side couldn't help but look stunned, but they didn't expect the people in the inner courtyard to be so afraid of Elder Yu.
"Get up and talk!" Elder Yu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the etiquette of the person who came, so he waved his hand indifferently as he spoke, signaling that the other party could get up.
"Elder Xie Yu!!" The young man did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and while thanking him, he carefully straightened up.
"Huh? Isn't this Vice Dean Feng's personal disciple? Hiss...... The disciples around Vice Dean Feng were all so in awe of Elder Yu? β
"It's really the person next to Vice Dean Feng, good guy, could it be that Elder Yu has a higher status than Vice Dean Feng? I had never seen anyone kneel down and salute Vice President Feng before. β
"It's amazing my God, it turns out that Elder Yu's status in the Holy Courtyard is so respectful............
When the young disciple straightened up, everyone saw each other's faces clearly, and for this person, everyone was not very unfamiliar, because of the previous inner courtyard dispute, this person had always stood by the side of Vice Dean Feng Wudi, and even their prey was counted by this person and another young disciple.
"Tell me, what awaits Elder Ben here?"
Elder Yu didn't care about everyone's shock, but asked directly at the young man.
"Back to Elder Yu's words, the disciple is waiting for Elder Yu here on the order of Vice Dean Feng, but he wants to pass on a word for Vice Dean Yu." Although the young man was in awe, he was neither humble nor arrogant when he spoke, obviously, the disciple next to Vice Dean Feng Wushu was also a figure who had seen the world.
"Say!" Frowning, Elder Yu seemed to have guessed something, and his face was obviously a little unsightly.
"Yes!!" Seeing that Elder Yu seemed to be displeased, the young man couldn't help but shudder before continuing, "The Vice Dean said that he wanted to accept one of the newcomers named Song Mian as a disciple, I wonder if Elder Yu thinks this person is qualified enough?" β
Secretly wiping a cold sweat, the young man could obviously feel the pressure from Elder Yu's body, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Those rookie disciples didn't know how powerful Elder Yu was, but he knew it very well, don't look at him as a disciple of Vice Dean Feng Wudi's side, but if he offended this person, I am afraid that he will be frozen into an ice sculpture every minute.
"What? The vice president wants to accept Song Mian as a disciple? Did I hear me right? β
"That's lucky, isn't it? Unexpectedly, the vice president took a fancy to him? This is simply an opportunity to soar! β
"Nonsense, what kind of identity and strength does the vice dean, if you can become the disciple of the vice dean, a fool can become a strong man, right?"
"Why Song Mian? He only won the second place in the battle for the inner courtyard this time..............." When the young man's voice fell, before Elder Yu could speak, the newcomers present were all stunned, and as he spoke, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Song Mian in the crowd, and their eyes were full of jealousy.
Song Mian's expression didn't change much, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was trying his best to suppress his excitement at this moment, and the clenched fists were also betraying his inner thoughts.
"The Vice Dean's eyes are really like a torch, this son is indeed qualified to become the disciple of the Vice Dean."
At this time, Elder Yu's eyes flickered a few times before he nodded. She was clear-minded, and naturally quickly understood the reason, obviously, Feng Wushu should have discovered Song Mian's situation a long time ago, but he was not sure, and now the other party sent someone to ask, just to determine Song Mian's qualifications.
However, the other party only mentioned Song Mian, but did not mention others, which made her instantly relieved, because for her, Song Mian was not her fancy target.
"Thank you Elder Yu for telling me, since that's the case, I wonder if the disciple can take him to meet the Vice Dean?"
Receiving Elder Jade's affirmation, the young man also had a straight face, and then continued to ask Elder Jade.
"Song Mian, you can go with this person." Nodding, Elder Yu didn't hesitate at all, and as he spoke, he looked at Song Mian in the crowd and said indifferently.
Since she is the person that Vice Dean Feng Wudi fancy, of course she has no right to object, in the final analysis, she is the Vice Dean, and she is just an elder.
The inner court recruits disciples, in the final analysis, in order to cultivate strong geniuses, so as to achieve various purposes.
Therefore, all along, the Holy Academy would not object to a new disciple being directly recruited by an elder or other high-level after joining, because compared to batch training, one-on-one professors are naturally more likely to cultivate genius powerhouses.
Of course, whether it is the elder of the Holy Academy, or the vice president of the Holy Academy, of course, they can't accept disciples casually, only real geniuses, and they are worthy of their training, they will make an exception to be accepted into the sect, and personally teach and instruct.
Song Mian, as a Five Elements Superpower, is definitely qualified to become anyone's disciple, after all, the Five Elements Superpower is very rare, as long as he is cultivated properly, he will definitely be able to become a super powerhouse in the future............
The whole scene became a little silent, everyone looked in the same direction, over there, Song Mian, who had been staying with them, was following the vice president Feng Wuving's people towards the deeper part of the inner courtyard, and this time, the distance between them and the other party was probably getting bigger and bigger, and there would never even be a chance to catch up with others.
"It's really hateful, how could he be favored by the vice president, doesn't that vice president take apprentices without looking at character?"
On the side of Qindu University, Jian Qingqing was already pouting in anger, obviously full of dissatisfaction. In her opinion, even if the vice president wanted to accept apprentices, he would also accept Ji Dong, but she didn't expect that the other party would actually accept Song Mian.
"Look at character? Hehe, maybe the vice president doesn't know Song Mian's character, besides, how can we speculate about the thoughts of the strong? β
Hearing Jian Qingqing's complaint, Guan Linlin on the side couldn't help but smile, but he didn't feel anything wrong, obviously, he didn't seem to be very surprised by such a result.
"Hey, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to deal with now, this person has never dealt with us, and now he has become a disciple of the vice president, and I don't know if he will find trouble for everyone in the future."
Lu Shenghua's face couldn't help but have a faint look of worry, but he thought more practically, after all, the disciple of the vice dean, this is a few levels higher than them in terms of identity.
"It doesn't matter, what this person wants to target me the most, I don't think he will attack you easily." Hearing Lu Shenghua's words, Ji Dong couldn't help but pick the corners of his mouth, but he didn't have too much worry.
This Song Mian is indeed a powerful character, but because of this, the other party will not shoot at other people casually, at least, the other party should not calculate others before dealing with him.
And if the other party dares to hit him with his idea, he will definitely make him regret it for the rest of his life.
"Okay, don't look at it, as long as you are willing to work hard, your future achievements may not be worse than his."
At this moment, Elder Yu's voice sounded faintly, directly interrupting everyone's discussion, but he did not forget to cheer up these people present.
"Yes, yes, what about the vice dean's disciples? As long as we are willing to work hard, we will be able to surpass him in the future. β
"That is, everyone has their own opportunities, and maybe our opportunities are waiting for us one day in the future."
"Isn't it just the disciple of the vice president, maybe one of us will be favored by the head of the Holy Academy in the future!"
"That's that, anything is possible............"
Being said by Elder Yu like this, everyone's mood suddenly improved a lot, and in fact, the disciples of the vice president of the Holy Academy are indeed not a big deal, after all, everyone's starting point is not much, as long as they are willing to work hard, it is indeed not that there is no chance of turning the tables, not to mention that this is the inner courtyard, and any kind of opportunity may exist.
"Alright, let's get down to business!!"
Hearing that everyone was about to start talking again, Elder Yu frowned, and suddenly let out a low snort, which directly attracted everyone's attention.
"You have already obtained the identity jade plate of the disciples of the inner courtyard, from now on, you are born as a person of the Holy Court, and when you die, you are a dead person of the Holy Court, unless you are expelled from the Holy Court, otherwise, your body will be imprinted with the mark of the Holy Court for the rest of your life!"
As she spoke, her already serious face became more and more serious. Seeing her like this, everyone's hearts were tight, and there was inevitably a faint fear at the same time as pride.
"I know that you have always regarded joining the Holy Academy as your goal, but what I want to tell you is that although the Holy Academy can indeed give you the best cultivation conditions, it also depends on whether you can persevere, and the next period of time will be a great test for you."
There has never been a shortage of resources in the inner court, but their resources will only be used for the most worthy disciples, and these people in front of them are the most talented people in the Great Qin Dynasty, but whether they can all withstand the test, I am afraid it will have to be verified step by step.
"Test? Great test? β
When Elder Yu's words fell, everyone's hearts tightened suddenly, and their faces became a little unpleasant.
"Don't panic, although it is a test, it is an opportunity for you." Seeing everyone's panicked looks, Elder Yu's tone softened slightly, "Do you see this door?" Later, Elder Ben will open this door, and all you people have to do is to cultivate in the room of this building for a year, and you can't go out of the door even half a step in between! β
As she spoke, she couldn't help but point to the special building behind her, signaling to everyone that this was what she was talking about.
"What? Practicing here for a year? Can't go out half a step yet? I...... Did I hear me right? β
"This ...... Is this to keep us in lockdown? But is a year too long? β
"How can there be such a test? What kind of place is this, there is not even a single window, and we are actually asked to cultivate in it for a year? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
