Chapter 57: The Middle

Ai Chen, an ordinary scholar, just reads, writes, and spends an ordinary day every day. However, on this day, Ai Chen was reading and writing in the lobby as usual.

Suddenly, outside the Rose Inn, three horses came, and they tied them to the tree. Aunt Luo ran out of the inn, "Who are you?" The visitor said happily: "We are the ones who have come to deliver the good news, so quickly call Ai Shusheng out." ”

Aunt Luo said: "I'll go and tell Ai Shusheng and let him come to greet you." ”

Aunt Luo walked into the lobby quickly and said, "Ai Shusheng, you have been lifted." When Ai Chen heard this, his eyes lit up, and the brush he was holding in his hand fell to the ground. He looked up at Aunt Luo and smiled happily: "You, are you serious?" ”

"Of course it's true, you're lifted!" Aunt Luo said happily.

Ai Chen looked out of the hall in disbelief, his heart as if it had been hammered hard, joy, consternation, disbelief, all kinds of emotions intertwined. He never imagined that the good news would come so quickly.

He hurriedly opened his room and began to rummage through his bags. Sure enough, in his bag, he found a thick stack of silver tickets. These silver tickets were saved by his hard work for this exam. Now it seems that his efforts have finally paid off.

Ai Chen's heart was excited, his fate seemed to have changed. He's lifted! He will be a lifter, not an ordinary scholar. He can have a wider stage and can realize his ambitions.

He took out some silver tickets and prepared to reward the few people who had announced the good news, and he knew that this was a turning point in his life, and he needed to be prepared to meet the challenges ahead.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Ai Chen walked quickly to the door, and after opening the door, several people dressed in official clothes stood outside the door, led by a tall figure with a serious face and a letter of good news in his hand.

"Ai Chen?" The official at the head looked at Ai Chen, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "This is your good news, you have been promoted in the exam." ”

Ai Chen was stunned for a moment, then took the good news and looked at it carefully. He couldn't believe that his hard work and dedication had finally paid off, and he was so excited that he could barely control himself.

"Thank you. Please sit inside. Ai Chen whispered, then turned back to the lobby and sat down again.

The officials walked into the lobby, and the officials led by them sat down opposite Ai Chen, "Congratulations, Ai Chen, you have passed the exam." ”

Ai Chen was grateful, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, my lord, I will definitely live up to your expectations of me." ”

Ai Chen took out the silver ticket to reward the person who reported the good news, "You have all worked hard, this is a little meaning, I hope you accept it." The visitor happily accepted it. Ai Chen politely arrived: "Everyone has come from afar, and you have eaten here at noon before leaving." ”

At this time, Lin Weiyin and Jiang Hall Master also returned, and the water outside the inn was impassable, and they watched the people who reported the good news curiously, "What's the matter?" Ai Chen said excitedly: "I'm here to report the good news, I have passed the exam." ”

Luo Sisi and Luo Zhengding also heard that an official sent good news to the Rose Inn, and they also came to congratulate them. Jiang Lengyan and Jiang Lengli arranged tables, chairs and benches outside the inn, invited the villagers who came to congratulate them to rest and drink tea, and ate here at noon.

At this time, three more horses came, three officials came, and the good news was sent that Lin Weiyin was admitted to the martial arts examination. The official messenger came to the door of the Rose Inn, and Lin Weiyin stepped forward to meet them. The official messenger handed her a good news with Lin Weiyin's name written on it.

Lin Weiyin asked the officials to drink tea in the lobby, gave them some silver tickets, and invited them to stay at the inn for dinner.

After learning the news of Ai Chen's promotion, the gentlemen from the township came to visit. Dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing expensive ornaments, and carrying rich gifts, they came to congratulate Ai Chen. At this moment, they came to visit Ai Chen, obviously out of sincere appreciation and blessings.

Ai Chen was very happy about the arrival of the gentlemen, but he did not put on a haughty posture. He still maintains a humble and unpretentious character, and treats everyone with sincerity.

Gentlemen visit Aichen for different reasons. Some people genuinely appreciate Ai Chen's talent and want to become friends with him; Some people are jealous or envious, hoping to improve their status by befriending Ai Chen; Others have other motives and try to use Ai Chen for personal gain.

At noon, the Rose Inn held a grand celebration banquet to celebrate Ai Chen and Lin Weiyin's achievements.

An old man Ye in the township sat next to Ai Chen, "The old man thinks that drinking is fun, it doesn't matter what kind of wine you have, and it doesn't matter if you have food or not, the important thing is to drink with Ai Chen!" Ai Chen just smiled, the gentleman in this township is a bold person, Ai Chen is not squirming, and the gentleman in the township also laughed when he saw Ai Chen like this.

"Ai Shusheng, you kid is hidden deeply, your knowledge is now one of the best in the township." The gentleman of the country laughed.

"It's over, Old Man Ye." Ai Chen said modestly.

"Hahaha, Ai Shusheng, if you are a little more hypocritical, it will be true hypocrisy." Old Man Ye laughed and laughed.

"Old Man Ye laughed." Ai Chen smiled.

"Ai Shusheng, do you know why I visited you?" Old Man Ye suddenly asked.

"I don't know." Ai Chen replied.

"Because you kid has a sharp spirit, the old man has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has never seen such a sharp spirit in a person of your age, and the old man appreciates you." Old Man Ye said.

"Old man Ye praised it falsely." Ai Chen said modestly.

"Ai Shusheng, the rivers and lakes are sinister, you need to be cautious, the grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes are not something you can interfere with, you just need to be yourself." Old Man Ye said suddenly.

"Xiaosheng knows." Ai Chen replied.

"Ai Shusheng, I have a copy of "Qimen Dunjia Technique" here, and a charm, maybe I can use it in the future." Old Man Ye laughed and laughed.

"Thank you, Old Man Ye." Ai Chen arched his hand.

At the banquet, Ai Chen and Lin Weiyin had a good conversation with the officials and gentlemen, and she thanked the officials for the good luck they brought her. The officials also paid tribute to Lin Weiyin and thanked her for her generosity and kindness. In the evening, the gentlemen, officials and villagers dispersed one after another.

As night falls, the moonlight shines on the ancient inn, silent and mysterious. The people in the inn had all fallen asleep, only Lin Weiyin sat alone at the stone table in the moonlight, staring at the stars in the sky. Suddenly, a strong dark aura poured out from the depths of the small village, instantly filling the entire inn. Lin Weiyin's heart tightened, knowing that this dark aura was not a good thing.

She saw a man in a black robe, standing quietly on a stone staircase, holding a black staff in both hands. The aura of darkness emanated from him. Lin Weiyin's heart was excited, knowing that this man was not simple. She stared at the man and asked, "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”

The man raised his head, revealing a face with triangular eyes and a hooked nose, and he said lightly, "I am the wizard of the Bright Star, and I am here to find you." ”

Lin Weiyin was shocked, she knew that the Dark Wizard was a very dangerous existence, and she had to come up with a way to stop him as soon as possible. So she asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

The Dark Wizard said lightly, "The Bright Star Emperor ordered me to come and find you back. Lin Weiyin said coldly: "I'm fine here, I won't go back with you." ”

The wizard roared angrily: "Lin Weiyin, don't toast and not eat, eat and punish wine." Then you're welcome. ”

Lin Weiyin knew that she had met a powerful wizard. This wizard uses a magic wand, which unleashes powerful magical attacks.
