Volume 1: A World Made Out of Nothing (XXXIII) A Better Choice

"The exams of this Royal Academy are gathered by talented children from all over the country." Liu Xiaoguang looked at Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue and said, "This is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, do you think you can stand out?" ”

"I said Director Liu, can you trust us? What do you do to always grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige? Yan Yue said a little angrily.

"Yan Yue, you're embarrassed to say. Don't think I don't know about you. Liu Xiaoguang glared at Yan Yue, "If you talk about Brother Yu, then there is still hope to be shortlisted, but it will be difficult for you!" ”

"Why?"

"Those candidates who are better than you and whose family background is a hundred times more prominent than you may not be able to pass the entrance exam, do you ask yourself if you can?" Liu Xiaoguang almost added a sentence: "Bubble pee, take a picture of your face." ”

"How about Xiaolu, do you have faith?" Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at the two, she wanted to know what Yu Tianlu was thinking now.

Who knew that Yu Tianlu didn't take Liu Xiaoguang's words to heart at all.

"Isn't it an entrance exam? I don't have that in my dictionary. Yu Tianlu is colorful.

Yu Tianlu in his previous life was the existence of the ceiling of the school bully, and after experiencing large and small exams on the way to study, he did not fail to say this.

Liu Xiaoguang listened and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Ding Dai on the side.

"I admire such a fearless teenager. Since I promised you, there is no problem with the letter of recommendation. Ding Dai said with a smile.

"Master Nading, when are you going to write!" Yan Yue looked at Ding Dai with straight eyes.

Ding Dai was also uncomfortable when she was looked at by this kind of debt-collecting eyes.

"That's it, that's it, I'll write it, I'll write it!"

More than ten minutes later, two letters of recommendation for the Royal Academy entrance exam had been delivered to the two friends.

Yan Yue took the letter of recommendation, and he was already dancing happily.

"I can finally go to the Royal Academy!"

Yu Tianlu, on the other hand, seemed calmer.

In the face of the unknown exam, although Yu Tianlu didn't pay too much attention to it, if he wanted to take this little friend with him, he had to think about it in the long run.

"Okay, since the two little friends are so ambitious, then I, Ma Zhenbei, will never be stingy." At this time, Ma Zhenbei also walked out, "I know that the two of you have difficulties at home, so I promise you." As long as you can pass the entrance exam at the Royal Academy, I will cover your first year's tuition, how about it? ”

"Since Master Ma is so generous, then we are disrespectful."

Yu Tianlu is not a hypocritical master, and he has also heard Yu Hongze introduce that this royal tuition fee is not a small amount.

Now Ma Zhenbei is willing to bear part of the tuition, and they have no reason to refuse.

Out of the Ma Mansion, Xiang Xiaoyuan also had to say goodbye to her two friends.

In fact, if it weren't for Yu Tianlu participating in the art competition, the three of them might have been the last to meet at the market.

And this parting is a little more hope for reunion than before.

"Xiao Lu, I will wait for you at the Royal Academy in the provincial capital. I believe that with your strength, there will be absolutely no problem in passing the entrance exam. Xiang Xiaoyuan said conclusively.

"Of course? Didn't even the real Elephantizers be defeated by us? Yan Yue said confidently, "What Zi family, Chang family?" As long as Xiao Lu is here, those royal nobles are all local chickens and dogs. ”

Looking at Yan Yue's complacent look, Yu Tianlu said in his heart: "Speaking of this, Ah Yue, you really don't feel sorry at all!" ”

However, looking at Xiang Xiaoyuan's expectant gaze, in front of his own girl, Yu Tianlu naturally would not show weakness.

"Xiaoyuan, I promise you, I will definitely enter the Royal Academy."

"Alright, Miss, it's time for us to go!" The butler Yubo stepped forward and said.

At this time, the carriage also ran over and stopped in front of everyone.

On the carriage, Mu Linfeng opened the curtain and greeted Xiang Xiaoyuan: "Miss, hurry up and get in the carriage!" ”

"I see!" Xiang Xiaoyuan hurriedly responded.

Then Xiang Xiaoyuan turned around and took off a pendant from his neck and put it on Yu Tianlu's neck.

"Xiaoyuan, what is this?"

"This is the amulet that my mother asked for me, and now I give it to you. I hope this amulet will bless you with success in your exams. ”

"Thank you so much, I will cherish it with my heart."

As he spoke, Xiang Xiaoyuan also stepped into the carriage.

The carriage had already left a distance, and Xiang Xiaoyuan also leaned out and waved to the two friends.

Looking at the back of the carriage in the distance, Yu Tianlu was also at a loss, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

At this time, Yan Yue walked up to his brother and shook his hand in front of his eyes.

"I said Xiaolu, this Xiaoyuan can't see the figure anymore, why are you still like a wooden pestle here!"

"Alright! We'll definitely be meeting you. Yu Tianlu turned around and walked away.

Seeing this, Yan Yue hurriedly chased after him: "Why did you guys change their faces all of a sudden, wait for me!" ”

Inside the carriage, Xiang Xiaoyuan finally calmed down.

She looked at Mu Linfeng and said, "Teacher Mu, what do you think is the success rate of Xiaolu and their enrollment this time?" ”

In fact, Xiang Xiaoyuan herself has no bottom about the royal entrance exam.

"Well...... Up to 30%! Mu Linfeng thought for a while and said.

"Is thirty percent so little? They're two people! ”

"If just a Yu Tianlu is going to enter the Royal Academy with his talent, he is probably seventy percent sure. Although he has no background and is not a relative of the imperial family, it is not too difficult to become an intermediate student. ”

"Wait, I said Mr. Mu, when did you live like you hated? Do you have a doorman's opinion? ”

"This ......" Mu Linfeng was also stunned, he looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan in front of him blankly.

At this time, the memory of Mu Linfeng came to his heart.

Once upon a time, Mu Linfeng was just a hairy boy with no talent and strength, but no background. If it weren't for the discerning eyes of the head of the family back then, it is likely that Mu Linfeng, a powerful materialist, would have been unknown to everyone.

Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng's expression gradually softened.

Now he can finally understand why Xiang Xiaoyuan is so optimistic about Yu Tianlu.

"It turns out that the head of the family valued me like this back then!" Mu Linfeng nodded, "Yu Tianlu, I hope you don't live up to the expectations of the eldest lady and can become the future of the Xiang family!" ”

"But Miss, if it were me, I wouldn't want Yu Tianlu to enter the Royal Academy!" Mu Linfeng suddenly said.

"Why?" Xiang Xiaoyuan was also very shocked when she heard this, and at this moment she suddenly remembered that the teacher in front of her, Mu Linfeng, was not from the Royal Academy.

"Isn't the Royal Academy the best school?"

"The Royal Academy is undoubtedly the best school for the Elephant Chemist in Huaxu Country, but not the best school is suitable for the best students." Mu Linfeng said lightly, "Actually, Yu Tianlu has a better place for him to go. ”

At the same time, in the center of the provincial capital, in a magnificent mansion, a man who was quite close to Yu Tianlu was looking at the old man sitting in front of him with a sneering face.

This person is none other than the judge of the previous Duyang Town Art Competition, Chu Xiangling.

"I'm sorry master, I've really done my best." Chu Xiangling said very apologetically.

"Xiangling, when you left, you had a package ticket with me, saying that you would definitely let Xuan'er win the championship of the art competition." The old man's face sank and said, "Now that I don't even enter the top three, it seems that I can't say it!" ”

"Master, I've done my best! It's just that those competitors are just too strong. Chu Xiangling said with some embarrassment.

"Xiangling, although the scale and influence of the art competition in this twilight town are limited, but it is known as the cradle of art masters. Otherwise, the art association would not appoint a figure like Ding Dai to be a judge. ”

"I know ...... this"

"You must know that four years ago, our Zi family did everything in their power to win that championship for you, which allowed you to occupy a place in the art world of Huaxu Kingdom. Otherwise, it won't take long for a young artist like you to make his mark. ”

"I know that, too! The Purple Family's grace to me for reinvention is unforgettable in Xiangling. ”

"Originally, we wanted to take advantage of Xuan'er's victory to build momentum for her to run for the next head of the family. Now it seems that the long-term thinking is going to be taken again. It's just that there is no time to lose. ”

"The head of the family, Xiangling naturally knows about these various relationships. It's just that this competition has killed a big dark horse. It really caught Xiangling off guard! ”

"Big dark horse? Could it be that apart from the closed disciples of Dejingjing and Ding Dai, who else can win the championship in one fell swoop? The head of the Zi family couldn't help frowning.

"It's a milky hairy boy, not even an elephant chemist."

"Not even an iconizer?" The head of the Zi family was also quite surprised, "That must be a child of a certain family." ”

Chu Xiangling still shook his head: "As far as I know, that child is just a native of Duyang Town. ”

"A guy with no name, can he still beat our Xuan'er?" The head of the Zi family said angrily, "Xuan'er is the most talented jade maker in our Zi family in the past fifty years!" ”

"I admit that kid is indeed talented, but the most important thing is that there is a big tree behind him!" Chu Xiangling said sourly.

"Big tree? Which family dares to oppose our Zi family? ”

"The head of the family, if you are an ordinary family, I will naturally not be afraid of him. But that kid didn't know what shit he stepped on, and he was friends with Miss Xiang's family. ”

"What? It turned out to be the heir of the Xiang family! The head of the Zi family is also a little uneasy, "But as far as I know, this eldest lady of the Xiang family usually lives in a simple house, and she doesn't show her head much." Even after studying at the Royal Academy for a year, I didn't make any friends! ”

"I don't know, but that Yu Tianlu does have a close relationship with the eldest lady of the Xiang family. So in that case, once I act recklessly, my reputation in the art world will be small, and the amount of people who will attack our Zi family to the outside world is huge! Chu Xiangling defended himself.

The head of the Zi family also nodded.

"If what you're saying is true, then we need to pay attention to this kid."

"There is one more thing I want to ask the head of the family to decide."

"What else?"

"As far as I know, that little guy named Yu Tianlu will report to the Royal Elephant Master Academy this time. Because he aspires to be a true imager. Chu Xiangling said with a serious face.

"What? This guy still wants to apply for the Royal Academy? Isn't it just that I know Miss Xiang, and I really want to turn the black chicken into a phoenix? The head of the Zi family said coldly, "Xiangling, if I'm not mistaken, this time Yu'er should also apply for the Royal Academy this time!" ”

"What does the head of the house mean?" Chu Xiangling showed a surprised expression.
