Chapter 111: Halfway to Admission

(PS: It's 98, dare you give two more assists, the tanuki wants to score two more goals!!)

"The bitter tea leaves, the fine silk porcelain, the awkward but beautiful poems, and the long waist-length black hair of both men and women are the most intuitive impressions of the distant and mysterious Oriental continent on the other side of the endless sea. ”

"But who would have thought that in this land, some cultures from our West are also slowly taking root here. Among them, the academy has developed the most rapidly, which is in our place where only the children of the nobility are qualified to enter, but here the threshold has become extremely low, no matter where you come from, no matter what your ancestry, no matter whether you have status or not, as long as you pay the full fee, you can enter the study in a grand manner. ”

“...... It's hard for me to say that's fair, but it's an indisputable fact that the Noble Academy is so popular in this strange land. I had the pleasure of meeting an entrance ceremony, which was the house property of Duke Sonia of Thorn Flower...... I swear that this is the most lively and grand scene I have ever seen in my life, although I have long heard that the Eastern Continent is not as sparsely populated as our Western Land, and the population is extremely dense, but when I saw this entrance ceremony with my own eyes, I still felt that the rumors were wrong, this is no longer dense, but overcrowded and crowded......"

“...... In the wide square in front of the college, there was a crowd of people. There were several feet on every inch of the ground, and even a few people hung on the trees next to them, looking down excitedly and proudly. At a glance, I felt as if I had seen the endless sea again, only this time it was made up of black-haired, yellow-skinned Orientals. Unless they enter early, the carriages of all kinds have to slow down a few blocks away, and then they are even slower than ants crawling, completely surrounded by the sea of people, lonely like a reef in the sea, and then it is impossible to enter the square again, only pray that they will exit here safely......"

“...... Seeing this, you may think that my description is too exaggerated, but please don't get me wrong, the people who make up this sea of people are not all cultivators with cultivation talents, in fact, they are more unrelated onlookers, in the East this is called 'joining in the fun', a very vivid word, isn't it, it is indeed very lively...... In addition to those who really want to enter the academy, there are also some vendors who take the opportunity to sell goods and handymen who help carry things, they are very flexible and have a good eye, and they can always find a transaction partner in this vast sea of people and make a fortune. Of course, there are also people with ulterior motives, such as thieves, and this is their holiday. Pity the few books and a quill I brought with me from the West, which unfortunately were lost here......"

The above is the scene of the entrance to the academy described by a Western bard who traveled to the East.

It's not very objective, but it's very detailed. Of course, Ye Xi hadn't read this book, but if he saw it, he would definitely agree with some of the descriptions in the book, because it was really not an exaggeration.

It was also at this time that Ye Xi knew that there were so many people in the city, and the carriage he was riding had to choose to pull over two streets away, no way, the relatively spacious street had already been completely occupied by the bustling crowd, not to mention the carriage, even those rickshaw carriages that could flash around with a gap were also defeated in front of this sea of people.

Hong San received the task of delivering Ye Xi to his destination and then returning to the old oak lane. Now he can't send it in, so he can only get out of the car and walk in by himself, while he stays here and waits.

It's just two streets, but Ye Xi is struggling, for a moment, Ye Xi suddenly had the illusion of returning to the present world and coming to the train station to buy tickets during the Spring Festival.

The bard was not wrong, Ye Xi only glanced at the crowd around him slightly, and couldn't help but sigh, secretly It seems that no matter what time and space it is, joining in the fun is the eternal evil taste of human beings.

That's right, don't look at the number of people here now, it's like ants moving. But in fact, there are very few people like Ye Xi who really go to Western College. Most people just looked at the dense crowd here, so they subconsciously approached, first asking around if there were dead people in front of them, and then under the coercion of this vast sea of people, they couldn't help but participate, and walked forward with great interest but blindly.

Of course, there are also people with a clear purpose......

Maybe it was because Ye Xi's clothes were quite neat, and when he walked slowly, the position of the waist blanket was constantly patronized by some palms of unknown meaning. There is no doubt that it is indeed a thief.

In fact, on the periphery of the crowd, there are many people dressed in official uniforms, and it is rare to maintain order in their duties. After all, there are so many people gathered here that one careless one can easily turn into a riot, and it is unlikely that it will overturn the city at night, but it is still very simple to smash a few nearby blocks.

It's a pity that these officials can suppress the common people, but they can't scare those thieves who fish in troubled waters, such an environment is simply their natural umbrella, not only does it become extremely easy to shoot, but they are found to drill into the crowd, and who can find them?

But their mistake was to have bad eyes and provoke Ye Xi. You must know that the latter is deeply hated by people like them because of the ghost slashing thing. Now that he is aware of a thief reaching out, he is unceremonious.

"Click!"

In a noisy crowd, the crisp sound of a tree branch breaking like this will not attract any attention. Ye Xi withdrew his hand lightly, and glanced at the ordinary man beside him who was holding his wrist and the beads of sweat on his forehead suddenly jumped violently, and his face was expressionless. The latter didn't make any other moves except for a muffled snort, just glanced at Ye Xi viciously, and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd around him, disappearing in an instant.

This is the first burglar to strike, but it won't be the last.

In fact, less than three minutes later, Ye Xi shot again, grabbed a wrist that touched the jacket, it was a half-grown boy, about the same age as the second bald, looking at each other, his eyes were a little flustered, and then he changed to a vicious threat.

Ye Xi pursed his lips and turned his wrist, "Click!"

"En......" In the muffled snort, let go of the little boy's wrist, Ye Xi made a mistake, and passed by a young man who seemed to stumble unintentionally from the side, bent his fingers and popped out, humming softly, a flash of blade light, and a slightly trembling knife on the trunk not far away.

"Do you dare to deal badly with your uncle?"

Deliberately lowered the threatening voice, Ye Xi didn't answer, reached out and put his hand on the other party's shoulder, as if he kindly helped the young man, and then walked behind him, poof, "!", the little boy screamed in a low voice, the little boy looked at his left hand in a daze, the knife in his palm that was originally inserted into the back of the bad guy, but now it was all submerged into the waist of the companion young man, and it was instantly red.

Sizzling the cold air, he tried to endure it a few times, and finally, "Ah-" In the scream, the young man turned around like the wind, snapped, and slapped the half-grown boy directly, and then suddenly reached out and pulled out the **** knife on the side of his waist, between the blood ****, his eyes were scarlet, Huo Ran turned his head, and looked around at the middle-aged woman who looked stunned, where could he still see Ye Xi's figure.

"Ahh
