Chapter 61: The Big Exam
From the first time Yang Ze appeared in the inner courtyard of the palace, from the first time he was "shameless" to talk to himself, and even more shamelessly uncovered the food in his food box to fill his stomach.
Ji Ling'er was extremely indifferent to him at first, not bored, nor did she have any negative emotions, just like looking at the most ordinary teenager in the world who saw her have this reaction. Not rejecting his approach is in this way. Keep him away.
If Yang Ze is smart enough, or he is a veteran of indulgence in love, even if he is invulnerable, he may be sentimental by her sharp distance, or even walk away.
The most indifferent attitude is not to care. The most important way to hit a person is to let him know that you never cared about him.
This is Ji Ling'er's most advantageous weapon against those who have come along the way, and even the piece of Xituo that has countless pride, self-confidence, vanity, humility, brightness, delusion, etc., who think they are qualified to pursue her.
If you don't care, you are the biggest indifference. When it hurts self-esteem, it hurts really well.
She's so smart that she's perfect at all of these insights.
thought that it was difficult to fluctuate the calm heart lake of the black pool, but in the end he was still moved by Yang Ze's stories. Those Yang Ze said that they were made up, but she had never heard of them, like countless stories of needles thrown into the soft heart that made her follow her heart.
When the story was finished, Ji Linger felt that at least to one extent, Yang Ze had succeeded. She didn't feel any dislike for him, and even had a subtle affection that she couldn't describe.
But there will be an end to all of this.
It was as if a hare had found a canopy tree, and as if the cry of a dolphin had alarmed the graceful clouds and geese in the sky. But even if the tree allows the hare to stay, eventually the hare will still be buried by time, and the tree will stand for a hundred years. Even if the cloud goose wanders for the cry of the dolphin, it will eventually migrate away with the monsoon, leaving the dolphin to swim in place.
For Ji Ling'er, Yang Ze is the hare. Yang Ze is the dolphin. He could not go to the temple of Sid. And naturally it is impossible for her to stay in Daye.
It wasn't until she discovered the identity of Yang Ze's spirit vein that Ji Ling'er was really excited, and it also made her really think about the next possibilities.
Ji Ling'er originally thought that she could hear an undoubted and definite answer from Yang Ze's mouth. But she realized that she had miscalculated something.
After seeing that Yang Ze didn't answer, she looked at him with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I can't go with you to Sito. ”
Yang Ze's gaze was as calm as ever, as if he was peeking at her, as if he was holding her hand. It's like rejecting her at the moment.
Ji Ling'er's eyes widened slightly. Immediately, her gaze softened in Yang Ze's words next.
"Even though I know what it means to enter the Temple of the West to an ordinary person, that's not the way I'm going. You have the path you have to take, the things you have to do. I'm the same, I have things I have to do. Things to be guarded. Yang Ze said.
"What do you want to protect?" probably didn't expect Yang Ze to reject herself, or that the Xituo Hall had a high status in her heart, so she didn't expect that there would be someone who refused to enter the Xituo because of what she wanted to do.
"There are a lot of places where I live that don't look like you, strictly speaking, it can be a lot worse, maybe there will be some danger around, and if I leave, then maybe the people around me will be in danger. ”
After a pause, Yang Ze said again, "I don't expect you to understand, there may be some things that seem ridiculous and fragile in the high position of the Xituo people. But that's the reason I'm fighting for it right now. The same path, wait until I have enough strength. I will go to Xituo, maybe for tourism, maybe to see the scenery in a hurry, or maybe to find you. ”
Seeing a certain resolute look between Yang Ze's casual and casual delicate eyebrows at the moment, Ji Ling'er seemed to know Yang Ze again, and the eyes that looked at him gathered a lot of appreciation.
Then she nodded, but when she heard Yang Ze's sentence "go to find you", she passed a faint sense of sadness.
Got up at the same time as him and smiled, "I'm leaving." ”
"In a few days, the list of admissions for the Daye Autumn Dao Academy will be announced, and the Holy Maiden of Xituo will bless the new students of the Kingdom's official Autumn Dao Academy when she leaves, so strictly speaking, this is not our last meeting. Yang Ze smiled cheerfully, like a philistine businessman who could still take advantage of it in the end.
Ji Ling'er was stunned, and then understood some of the little confidence and pride hidden in Yang Ze's words, so a gentle look flashed across her face, just like her demeanor in many places where everyone was watching, and smiled at him, "Then should I congratulate and praise you in advance." An enterprising young practitioner. ”
"Verbal praise doesn't mean much. What is popular among our people there is hugging. Yang Ze thought that if it weren't for the extremely high cultivation of the woman in front of him, he might have taken advantage of such a close distance to have a friendly hug. But in the end, I was afraid that she would be half shocked to death by protecting her body or something, so I endured it.
Ji Ling'er looked as if she hadn't heard this, her expression was as usual, and the corners of her good-looking lips were a little narrow. On the contrary, this appearance made Yang Ze feel a little embarrassed.
"I'm leaving. Ji Ling'er finally turned around and left. Just disappeared into the courtyard on a moonlit night.
Next is the entrance exam for the Autumn Dao Academy, where everyone in Daye's young cultivators is in danger. Twenty-five people were selected from the three hundred and twenty-five people who were eligible to take the exam in the entire territory of Daye, this was indeed a very helpless situation, but it must also be such a situation, the young and promising cultivators in the foreign realm of Daye were constantly emerging, which was a threat to Daye's safety. And the strength of cultivation does not lie in indiscriminateness, but in refinement.
Since Qiudao Academy is the only formal practice institute in Daye, it is even more necessary to keep improving. Among the three hundred and twenty-five people this year, twenty-five of the best and most qualified young cultivators will be selected and trained to concentrate resources and truly teach the next generation of Kingdom cultivators.
The Mansion of the Imperial Prince.
"Bump!"
Shangguan Yan flipped his hand, and overturned a hot tea on the coffee table with a bowl on the ground, he was dressed in gorgeous clothes, if he didn't look at the uncoordinated big nose bridge on his face, he would also be a talented person and said angrily, "Why can he Yang Ze be exempted from the exam, and this son still has to dress soundingly to go to the big exam venue today!? You must know that I am the one who has achieved the cultivation of the artistic conception, and I am the candidate for admission to the hospital appointed by the dean." Even I have to take the big test, what is his position Yang Ze not to take the test!"
A man from the house below said in a low voice, "Childe, have you forgotten that there is a place for one person in the Autumn Dao Academy to be admitted to the hospital without examination this year, which was originally obtained by Childe, but in the end, Childe pushed it back, and if he wanted to move the quota forward, it went to the head of Yang Ze, who had taken the shit luck." ”
Shangguan Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, he was only eighteen years old, but he had a city government that was extremely inconsistent with his age, "Who set the rules!?"
"It is said that it is Li Daming, the bishop of the academy, who said that since Shangguan Gongzi does not want to be exempted from the examination, such a precious opportunity should be reserved for those who need it, so"
"Fart!" Shangguan Yan slapped the table, "It was originally my quota, but now that Yang Ze is drinking tea in the mansion in a good manner, and I still have to wear a crown and brocade on such a hot day to go to the noisy and messy venue for the big exam." Isn't this the whole king going to look at me and laugh at me!"
"That's true, Shangguan Gongzi's original intention was to go to the examination room in person and deter all candidates with his strength. But how did you know that Yang Ze was so shameless!"
"Hmph! This Da Ye really has no royal law, as my father said, it's time for the end of the day."
When Shangguan Yan said these words so rarely, the people around him were silent.
Immediately, Shangguan Yan straightened his clothes, and recovered from the anger just now to an indifferent look, but a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, "That Yang Ze, I will erase him from my face sooner or later!"
Yang Ze still didn't know whether it was wrong or right to give up Ji Linger's suggestion. But he knew that now, at least he had no reason to go to Sito.
If he knew that Yang Ze refused Ji Ling'er to go to Xituo Palace, even at this moment, countless people jumped out to scold him for being crazy and giving up such a good opportunity to improve. Yang Ze still had no complaints. His biggest hole card is the memory fragment of the great master in his body.
First of all, Da Ye still has internal hidden dangers that he needs to remove, and secondly, he still has a reason not to go to the Xituo Palace, which is the confidence brought to him by the fragments of memory in his body. Because you have witnessed the growth of grandmaster-level figures in your previous life, you believe that the existence of the Xituo Hall in this world is not the only way for you to achieve the supreme power. Moreover, the arrogance in his heart was not willing to grow up under Ji Ling'er's care. Men have to go out on their own, and if they always hope for others, they may never reach a great height, overlooking all living beings!
For Yang Ze, the fragments of the Great Grandmaster's memories did not give him invincible power and tell him the location of too many "treasures" as soon as they came.
But inexplicably gave him vision, self-confidence, and even courage.
That's the most important thing he's gotten for. And the only thing needed.
In the past few days of the academy's big exam, Yang Ze stayed in his own courtyard, absorbing the third-order spirit crystal left by Ji Ling'er. Wait until you've had your fill for three days.
All the aura of that spirit crystal was all refined and absorbed by Yang Ze's qi sea.
At the beginning of refining, the two atmospheric seas were unstable and fluctuating, and the escaping true power made him extremely uncomfortable, and finally after subduing these spiritual qi for his own use, he found that there were indeed many gratifying changes in the two atmospheric seas in his body, and the true qi capacity and running speed increased from ten spiral arms to eleven spiral arms. It has increased by nearly one percent.
The explosive power of the sea of qi to transport true qi is much more powerful than before.
This kind of spiritual vein of oneself is indeed an excellent thing. With his current entry, it has not yet reached saturation. That is to say, you can still grow and cultivate your own spiritual veins by decomposing third-order spiritual qi things, but these third-order spiritual qi things are rare things in the whole of Daye. Where is there so much for yourself to absorb and decompose?
Don't think about it yet!
Under the grapevines of the Qichun Marquis Mansion, Yang Ze picked up the tea bowl on the table, brought it to his lips and took a sip.
The bitter taste of tea is in the mouth, and I feel that I am so leisurely and casual here, basking in the sun, and drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed, which is a superior sense of comfort.
