"You are Lin Letian's disciple of Dean Sima?" the examiner sat there and looked at Lin Letian with interest.

Lin Lotian didn't know why the examiner asked him this question, but he still replied proudly, "Yes, Dean Sima, it is the family teacher." ”

"Well, I am also Dean Sima's apprentice, but I have been a teacher for many years, my name is Luo Bin, you should call me a senior brother. The examiner said to Lin Letian with a smile.

It turned out to be a senior brother, Lin Letian didn't expect this, no wonder this examiner didn't mean to embarrass himself, it turned out to be stained with the master's light, but I don't know why, the first examiner was so aimed at himself.

"It turned out that the senior brother was on top, and he was worshiped by the junior brother. Lin Letian stood there and saluted respectfully.

"Senior brother is polite, I have been out of the master for many years, for so many years, I have been leading the army outside, for so many years, I have not been able to come back to meet the master, this time I finally came back once, and took such a task, but it's okay, you can go to see the master tonight, you go down to rest first, wait for the final actual combat assessment, remember to report to the master, just say that after today's busy, I will go to see the master." The examiner said with a smile.

Lin Letian nodded and agreed.

Seeing Lin Letian coming out of the examination room, Ouyang Qing greeted him, "Are you coming out?"

"It's okay, it's passed. ”

"That's good, let's separate first!"

"Huh?" Lin Letian felt a trace of reluctance in his heart at this time.

"I still have to go to the hotel where I used to stay and get my luggage!" Ouyang Qing explained.

"That's... Well, stay safe. Lin Lotian could only reluctantly say goodbye to Ouyang Qing.

After saying goodbye to Ouyang Qing, Lin Lotian returned to the courtyard alone, thought about it, and felt that he still had to report to the master what happened in today's assessment.

As expected, Sima Ge was in the study at home at this time, although the study door was open, Lin Letian still knocked on the door three times, Sima Ge turned his head and saw that it was Lin Letian, so he said, "It turns out that Lotte is back, come in quickly, how about it, the assessment is going well." ”

Lin Lotian laughed when he heard Master's words, his own strength, Master also knows, but he is still worried about whether he can pass the assessment, really, but he also knows that this is Master's concern for himself, walked into the study, first saluted the teacher, and then opened his mouth and said, "The assessment is very smooth, but there are some situations, I have to report to Master." ”

"What's the situation, let's hear about it?" Sima Ge didn't seem surprised when he heard Lin Letian's words.

Lin Letian reported in detail to Sima Ge what happened during today's assessment, and after Sima Ge listened, he did not express his opinion, but closed his eyes there and pondered.

Seeing this, Lin Letian said, "Master, is there anything wrong with today's incident?"

Sima Ge waved his hand, "You go down first, by the way, your senior brother is coming tonight, go down and prepare a few specialty dishes to entertain you." But it was Lin Letian who drove him away.

Lin Letian was unwilling, but the master spoke again, so he had to reluctantly agree, "Okay!"

Seeing Lin Letian leaving, Sima Gecai whispered, "This empire seems to be about to change." ”

After Lin Lotian went down, he began to prepare the dinner for the evening, and generally speaking, the dinner did not need to be particularly grand, but Lin Lotian didn't know what Senior Brother Luo Bin liked to eat, so after thinking about it, he decided to make a dinner according to the method of shabu-shabu, what he wanted to eat, what he wanted to eat.

In the evening, Lin Lotian had already placed the prepared ingredients on the table, adjusted the base and the bottom of the pot, and waited for the arrival of the senior brother in the courtyard.

After the sunset, Luo Bin came to the door with gifts, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Lin Lotian waiting in the courtyard, saw Lin Lotian standing there, and laughed, "Senior brother is here, what is the matter?"

Lin Lotian hurriedly gave a salute, "On the orders of the teacher, wait here for the senior brother, since the senior brother is here, then come with me to see the master." ”

After Lin Lotian finished speaking, he took Luo Bin into the house, Sima Ge and Jiang Shiliu sat in the main room, and when they saw Luo Bin coming in, Sima Ge showed a smile on his face, "Xiao Luo is back, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Luo Bin saw the master sitting there, and when he was middle-aged, his eyes turned red, and he fell to his knees with a pop, "Disciple Luo Bin, meet the master, master." ”

Sima Ge hurriedly stood up and helped Luo Bin up with both hands, "What kind of unscrupulous disciple, if you can come back and see as a teacher, the master will be very happy." ”

Lin Letian stood aside, and he was very happy in his heart, he had followed his master for so many years, and he had not seen a few senior brothers except himself, which made Lin Letian think that he was his master and only accepted himself as an apprentice.

Luo Bin stood up and handed the gift in his hand to Sima Ge, Sima Ge didn't look at it, so he handed it to Jiang Shiliu, "Put it away first, let's go to dinner, if you have anything to say, let's talk while eating." ”

At the dinner table, several people sat together, Luo Bin had never eaten hot pot before, and when he saw a steaming hot pot on the table, he was a little dumbfounded, "Master, what is this way to eat?"

Sima Ge laughed, "Haha, I haven't eaten it, this is the way to eat it that your junior brother figured out, we call it shabu-shabu, which means that meat or vegetables are put in the hot pot, and after shabu-shabu, it is very good to eat it, you can taste it." ”

After speaking, he picked up a thin slice of meat, put it in the hot pot, soaked it a few times, and then took it out and put it in the bowl in front of Luo Bin, "Taste it." ”

Luo Bin picked up the chopsticks, tasted them, and couldn't help but stretch out his thumb, "Senior brother is really talented, I never thought that there was such a way to eat before." ”

Lin Letian smiled embarrassedly, "Senior brother praised it falsely, I also love to eat, this is just a method I came up with unintentionally, and it can't be put on the table." ”

Luo Bin smiled and didn't say anything more, but turned his head to his master and said, "Master, do you know that the disciple came this time, is there anything wrong?"

When Sima Ge heard this, the chopsticks in his hand paused, and then continued to move, "What's the matter?"

Luo Bin opened his mouth and said, "This empire, the rectification of the academy, disciple..."

Sima Ge interrupted Luo Bin's words, "These things, when eating, don't talk about them too much, interfere with your mood, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later." ”

Luo Bin glanced at the master, and saw that the master didn't want to talk about it, so he had to say helplessly, "Okay, but this time I served as the chief examiner, and I also learned about some of the exams. ”

When Lin Lotian heard this, he became interested, he was just going to take the assessment this year, and when he heard his senior brother say this, he asked, "Senior brother, I don't know how this year is different from previous years?"

Luo Bin saw that Sima Ge didn't mean to stop him, so he said, "In previous years, the actual combat assessment was all in the ring battle, and from the ring battle, the best candidates were selected to enter the academy to study, but this year the rules have been changed and turned into actual combat. ”

"Actual combat assessment?" Except for Luo Bin, everyone at the table was interested, "What kind of actual combat assessment method?"

"I don't know the specific situation, but I know that this year's assessment is different from previous years, but according to my speculation, this time the empire may have to use that secret treasure as a test. Luo Bin sat there and spoke.

Sima Ge frowned, "I didn't expect the royal family to have such great courage, you must know that the cost of using that secret treasure once is not low." ”

Lin Letian looked at the two suspiciously, "Master, senior brother, what kind of secret treasure are you talking about?"

Sima Ge looked at Lin Letian and laughed, "I forgot to tell you, the secret treasure that Luo Bin said is a secret treasure called Dream Spirit Space, which can produce a strange secret realm, and it is a heavy treasure in the imperial family." ”

"What's the use of producing a strange secret realm?" Lin Lotian asked.

"This secret treasure can absorb the essence and blood of demonic beasts, so as to create it in the secret realm, so that people can be exercised in the secret realm. Sima Ge explained, "But if it's used to assess students, isn't it a bit of a waste?"

"Well, I don't know the specific pattern now, but this is just my speculation, maybe I won't use it and I can't say for sure. Luo Bin said distressedly, "Don't look at me as an examiner today, but in fact, I don't have a particularly high status, I can know the final assessment, change the mode, it's already my limit, if it's not for my cultivation to still have a certain level, even this examiner, it is estimated that I can't mix." ”

"With your current cultivation, how could you be treated like this in the empire?" Sima Ge said in surprise, he had already seen that this disciple of his own, his cultivation had broken through to the seventh level, and he didn't expect to say such depressing words.

Luo Bin smiled bitterly, "Master, I guess you can also see that my cultivation is now at the seventh level, and according to previous years, my cultivation is also considered to be a good hand in the imperial military." ”

Sima Ge nodded, "Yes, your cultivation is enough to garrison a fortress on the border of the empire." ”

"Well, I used to lead the troops in the Yizhou Fortress in the north of the empire, but some time ago, the Imperial Military Department suddenly sent someone to remove my position and let me report to the imperial capital, and when I came back, I didn't arrange anything to do, and I was always allowed to live in the post house of the military department, and I was not allowed to go out without permission. ”

"Is this different from imprisonment?" said Sima Ge angrily.

Luo Bin waved his hand, "Master, the military department said that there is a secret mission, and you also know that when the military has a mission, it is not allowed to contact people privately, I have long been used to it after so many years of military career, but what I didn't expect was that our mission this time was to serve as an examiner of the academy." ”

"Then you come to me now, is it appropriate?" asked Sima Ge with some apprehension.

"Well, once the ban is lifted, it won't matter. Luo Bin said.
