Chapter 510: Successive setbacks
After listening to Zhang Shanpeng's narration, Yun Fan also has his own considerations for the competition of the four academies, and how to use the three rounds of competition to maximize the corresponding rewards is the focus of the competition of the four academies.
Yun Fan will not consider the third round of the duel, you must know that the strength of the disciples in the third and fourth years of the four academies has usually reached the end of insight and the early stage of penetration, and the strength of the third and fourth grade disciples who can participate in the competition of the four academies will only be stronger......
Penetrating the realm, this is still a completely untouchable realm for Yun Fan, so fighting with an opponent in the penetrating realm is tantamount to humiliating himself......
Therefore, Yun Fan needs to focus on the first two rounds of the duel, as long as he can be at the top in either round, then it will be enough to make up for the cultivation points that Jin Liang owes, and even have a surplus.
"Fan'er, although your strength has improved rapidly now, it is still far from your father's back then, so don't put too much pressure on yourself, being qualified to participate in the competition in the four academies is enough to show that you are excellent......" Zhang Shanpeng saw that Yun Fan was particularly concerned about the competition in the four academies, and expected that he wanted to emulate Yun Wei and make a splash in the competition in the four academies, so he persuaded softly, "I hope you can pay attention to the process and enjoy this rare ......experience more than the result."
"Hmm...... I know......" Yun Fan didn't want Zhang Shanpeng to worry about himself, so he happily agreed, and then thought of wanting to find Cao Jie as a helper, so he asked Zhang Shanpeng, "Mr. Zhang, the competition in the four academies is a team competition, but our team is still one person behind, can I ask Senior Brother Cao Jie to do a favor......
Zhang Shanpeng saw the expectation flashing in Yun Fan's eyes, and immediately understood his careful thoughts, which clearly wanted her to ask Cao Jie to help on his behalf, so he smiled, stretched out his soft hand and flicked it on Yun Fan's head, and pretended to be slightly embarrassed and reprimanded: "You kid, you want to invite Cao Jie to join your team and go to him yourself, come and ask me what kind of crooked thoughts I have......
Yun Fan saw that his mind was punctured, but he didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled at Zhang Shanpeng a little coquettishly: "Where do I have any crooked thoughts, I just consider that Senior Brother Cao Jie is your disciple, so I want to ask what you mean......
Zhang Shanpeng shook his head with a smile, and sighed helplessly: "The matter between your brothers and sisters is naturally for you to communicate with yourself, as long as Cao Jie is willing to join, I have no opinion......
"Okay, then I'll ask Senior Brother Cao Jie!" Hearing Zhang Shanpeng's permission, Yun Fan instantly jumped up happily, and then jumped out of Zhang Shanpeng's room like an excited bird, leaving Zhang Shanpeng alone in the room looking at Yun Fan's departing figure, smiling faintly......
Cao Jie's residence is in the animal taming department, and he doesn't have much contact with Yun Fan on weekdays, but because Zhang Shanpeng occasionally has separate guidance for him, there is a room for Cao Jie's cultivation outside Zhang Shanpeng's residence.
Before coming to find Zhang Shanpeng just now, Yun Fan had already greeted Cao Jie, so it was a familiar way to look for Cao Jie in that room at this time......
"Senior Brother Yun, why are you here?" Cao Jie couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw Yun Fan coming to his room with an excited face.
Every time Yun Fan came to Zhang Shanpeng before, although he would say hello to him first when he came, he would usually leave directly when he left, and he came to see him twice today, which made Cao Jie a little surprised.
"Senior Brother Cao Jie, I would like to invite you to join our team and participate in the competition of the Four Academies together. Yun Fan got straight to the point.
In the Incense Academy before, among the 64 disciples who were promoted to the qualification, Yun Fan did not see Cao Jie's figure, so Cao Jie must not have been qualified to qualify, Yun Fan bluntly explained his intentions, such a prosperous era as the competition of the four courts, presumably Cao Jie would not refuse no matter what.
Unexpectedly, after Cao Jie heard Yun Fan's intention, he was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled slightly embarrassed: "Senior Brother Yun, thank you for inviting me to participate in the competition of the Four Academies, but it's a pity that you came a little late......"
"Late?" Yun Fan was stunned and looked at Cao Jie in surprise.
"I have already agreed to the invitation of Senior Brother Wang of our academy, so there is no way to join your team again, I can only thank you for your kindness......" Cao Jie replied slightly apologetically.
"Ah, this ......" Yun Fan didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only leave Cao Jie's room alone.
Although Cao Jie comforted Yun Fan again when he sent him out, and promised Yun Fan that he would wait for Yun Fan's news in the competition of the four houses next year.
But how could Yun Fan, who was unfavorable to his teacher, listen to this at this time, even if he was given Yunnan Baiyao at this time, there would be no way to make up for his spiritual trauma......
However, after leaving Cao Jie's residence, Yun Fan also figured this out, after all, a person as good as Senior Brother Cao Jie must have been robbed by everyone no matter where he is, he only blamed himself for being late, if only he had invited Senior Brother Cao Jie first, and then went to Mr. Zhang...... Yun Fan thought angrily.
Since Cao Jie's side has failed and ended, he has no choice but to retreat and pull Liu Rui into the gang, although Liu Rui's strength is not as good as Cao Jie, but at least he is a powerful helper, plus he has helped him several times, so Liu Rui must have no reason to refuse.
With this in mind, Yun Fan walked towards the dormitory of the beast taming department.
In Yun Fan's heart, thinking that Liu Rui failed to qualify for the competition in the four academies this time, if he was willing to invite him to join, Liu Rui would definitely agree very happily, and even be very grateful to him.
But the fact is that reality slapped Yun Fan in the face again, and in the face of Yun Fan's warm invitation, Liu Rui just listened quietly, and then politely declined Yun Fan.
Liu Rui's refusal made Yun Fan extremely shocked, if Cao Jie was because he was late, causing Senior Brother Cao Jie to be snatched away by others, then Liu Rui had no reason to refuse himself, after all, the competition of the Four Courtyards was such a major occasion, and it was extremely attractive to every disciple of the Four Courtyards, how could Liu Rui not want to participate???
Considering Cao Jie's reasons, Yun Fan repeatedly confirmed with Liu Rui a few times, and after confirming that Liu Rui had not received other invitations (of course, with Liu Rui's popularity, no one else would invite him except Yun Fan), Yun Fan's doubts in his heart were even worse.
Leaving Liu Rui's bedroom again, Yun Fan walked on the road in frustration, and just came out of the bedroom with confidence, is it going to be so frustrating at this time...... Compared with the failure to find a helper, Liu Rui's refusal was the most unacceptable to him, because Ren Yunfan racked his brains, and he couldn't understand why Liu Rui rejected him......
At this time, the great fortune on his head saw that Yun Fan was so entangled, and couldn't help but say: "Don't you understand? It's right if you don't understand, because the two of you are not the same kind of people from beginning to end......
