Chapter 44: Laughter
The location of the National Religious College is the same as the other five of the Qingteng Sixth Academy, but in the most corner, it is very remote, and there is only one seat, which looks a little cold and shabby, but Chen Changsheng and Luo Luo don't care about these things, so they sit down casually.
"Do you know that Heavenly Dao Academy student from before?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Luoluo thought for a while and said, "When I came to the Heavenly Dao Academy before, I saw it a few times. ”
Chen Changsheng thought about the previous star-like picture and said, "It looks like it should be famous?"
Luoluo didn't have time to think about it this time, and said: "Zhuang moult, many people call him the moulting son." ”
Chen Changsheng remembered that he seemed to have seen this name on the stone wall of the ancestral hall, and he was ranked very high on the Qingyun List, and when he thought of Luoluo, he said this person's name without thinking, and quipped: "I didn't expect you to know his name." ”
Luoluo pouted and said, "Sir, you also said just now, he is very famous." ”
Chen Changsheng said: "With your character, no matter how famous you are, you may not know anyone. ”
Luoluo stuck out his tongue a little embarrassed and said, "It's too close, there's really no way to know his name." ”
Chen Changsheng didn't really understand her words, thinking that she was talking about the past when she was studying in the Heavenly Dao Academy. He looked in the direction of the seat of the Heavenly Dao Academy, confirmed that he had not missed it before, and said with some puzzlement: "That guy really didn't come." ”
Luo Luo knew who he was talking about, and asked curiously, "Sir, do you really know Tang Thirty-six?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Although I don't know how Lu Dao knew him...... But, do know. ”
During the conversation, the preparations for the Qingteng banquet were completely ready, the seats under the curtain were all full, and the professors and students of the Qingteng Six Academies had also arrived.
The Patriarch of the Patriarchate, His Holiness Merissa, and...... The Eastern Imperial God will be Xu Shiji.
When the two big men entered, all the professors and students in the building stood up to see it, like a tide.
Merissa has presided over the cardinal office for many years, and has a strong influence in the Kyoto academies, and the most important thing is that he is a close confidant of the Pope, and the rank of the Eastern Imperial God General Xu Shiji is not as good as that of the bishop, but he has made great achievements in war over the years, and he is quite trusted by the Holy Queen, and the whole continent knows that he gave birth to a good daughter.
The Qingteng Banquet is a grand gathering of young geniuses in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the audience is full of young talents, but thinking of the fourteen-year-old girl on the Holy Maiden Peak, looking up at the indelible name on the Qingyun List that seems to have been carved into bronze with a knife, who dares to call himself a genius?
Chen Changsheng looked at Xu Shiji, who was sitting at the top, with a calm expression, as if he had never heard of this name. Only Luoluo noticed that his breathing was a little faster than usual, still gentle, but still a little faster. After getting along for many days, she knew that this meant that his emotions were a little inappropriate.
This was the first time Chen Changsheng saw Xu Shiji.
In fact, one of the reasons why he was willing to attend the Qingteng Banquet today was that Priest Xin told him that Xu Shiji would come to watch the ceremony. He wanted to see what this man who almost became his father-in-law and almost put himself in a place of no return.
Xu Shiji looks just an ordinary middle-aged man, but of course he is not ordinary. Chen Changsheng looked at him from a distance, feeling the hidden majestic and murderous aura, as well as the extremely faint smell of blood, his straight eyebrows slowly raised, and his nose slightly twitched - this was not the taste he liked.
He thought of the Madame Xu he had seen in the Divine General's Mansion again, thinking of the humiliation and frustration he had received after coming to Kyoto, his eyebrows were raised higher, his nose was slightly furrowed faster and faster, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.
The daughter born to such a couple is actually the reincarnation of Zhenfeng, and the way of heaven is really unspeakably fair.
Luoluo had been paying attention to his reaction, and knew that he was in a very bad mood at this time, but after all, he still couldn't hold back, and asked cautiously in a low voice: "Sir, it seems that your relationship with Xu Yourong is really not good...... What the hell is this for?"
Chen Changsheng was stunned and said, "I thought you could endure it all the time." ”
Luoluo tugged at his sleeve, shook it coquettishly, and said, "People are curious." ”
Chen Changsheng said helplessly: "I promised others, I really can't say anything about this matter." ”
Naturally, they couldn't imagine how intimate the picture of chatting together in a low voice looked like, and they couldn't imagine that they had all been seen by Zhuang Changyu with his spare eyes.
Zhuang Changmoult's expression was still as calm as usual.
There was also a person who also saw Chen Changsheng and Luo Luo talking in private, but his expression was not so calm.
The Heavenly Dao Academy Sect retracted his gaze looking at the corner, his face was extremely cold, but it was very strange that he did not reprimand Chen Changsheng and Luoluo, nor did he use the topic to vent all his resentment against the National Religious Academy, but calmly continued to preside.
The Qingteng Banquet is divided into three sessions according to the regulations of the Great Dynasty Examination, one each for the literary examination, the martial examination and the battle, and the order of the sessions can be adjusted at will, but there are naturally many rules in it, which are all from the mouth of the Heavenly Dao Academy's teachings one by one at this time.
The students sitting in the scattered seats under the curtain listened very carefully, they were not like the students of the Sixth Academy of the Qingteng Academy, there were teachers and seniors who could explain in detail the process and regulations of the Great Imperial Examination, and today's Qingteng Banquet was equivalent to a rehearsal opportunity given to them by the imperial court, so they naturally had to be more attentive.
Chen Changsheng listened very carefully, and did not miss a word, although the National Education College is also a part of the Qingteng Six Academies, but he has no teacher, everything can only come by himself, he came to participate in today's Qingteng banquet, in addition to wanting to see Xu Yourong's father, the most important reason is this.
The Qingteng Banquet is nominally a party, but it is actually a rehearsal for the Great Dynasty Trial, or a weather vane. Except for the geniuses of those sects in the south, the rank of the Qingteng Banquet is basically the same as the rank of the Great Dynasty Banquet, even if there are some changes, it will not be too big, the cultivation depends on the accumulation of years and the polishing of time, from the Qingteng Banquet to the Great Dynasty Examination It is only half a year, where can a person's strength realm be turned upside down?
At this year's Qingteng Banquet, Chen Changsheng has not even succeeded in washing the marrow now, he is still an ordinary person who can't practice, but he wants to win the first place in the big court exam early next year, no wonder Tang Thirty-six thinks that he is an idiot or that he is an idiot, except for Luoluo, who will believe him?
Speaking of the Green Ivy Banquet, although the students who take the preparatory examination occasionally bring great surprises to the Anthropocene world, most of the time, it is still the students of those graduate schools who play the leading role.
The Qingteng banquet was held for three days, tonight is the first night, it happens to be the battle, it can be imagined, it will be extremely lively later, and the people watching the battle, including Xu Shiji and other officials, are also thinking about this year's Tiandao Academy as the host, I don't know if Lu Dao will let go of his reserve and let Zhuang Chang Moult appear.
Zhuang Changyu ranked tenth on the Qingyun List, which looked extremely remarkable, but when he thought of the Heavenly Dao Academy, which was known as the strongest academy in the mainland, and he was the representative of the Heavenly Dao Academy, this was a little unreasonable, even if he could not surpass a peerless bloodline like Xu Yourong, this ranking was a little too late.
Only big names like Xu Shiji know that the reason why this is so is because Zhuang Changyu has never challenged those geniuses who are ranked before him since he fought with someone in the Seven Laws of God two years ago and determined the tenth position on the Qingyun List.
This doesn't mean that he is conservative and timid, just because he was fifteen years old two years ago, and at that time, Akiyama-kun had already left the Qingyun List and began to move towards the top of the gold list, and he felt that in such a situation, the Qingyun List no longer meant anything to him.
So tonight, will Zhuang Moult play?
......
......
The students sitting in the scattered seats can voluntarily sign up to participate in tonight's battle, although they know that it is extremely difficult to defeat those students of the Qingteng Sixth Academy who have been taught by famous teachers, but thinking that the Qingteng banquet will rarely have a bloody incident, and it is a very rare opportunity to improve, so the registration is still very enthusiastic. Subsequently, the rest of the colleges of the Qingteng Six Academies also reported the students who participated in the battle, but except for the Heavenly Dao Academy Sect and the two big figures, no one knew who had signed up.
At the end of the day, only the Anglican College remained.
Chen Changsheng had received confirmation from Priest Xin, and he had heard the rules of the Heavenly Dao Academy's teachings before, and he knew that he and Luoluo met the rules for participating in the Qingteng Banquet, so they were able to enter, but this did not mean that he and Luoluo must end up.
After all, the Qingteng banquet is not a big test. With Chen Changsheng's current realm level, the end is ...... It's definitely not going to end well, so of course he won't end up.
This is his idea, but some people want to force him to end up, forcing him to end badly.
The Heavenly Dao Academy Sect looked at the corner and said expressionlessly, "What about the list of the National Sect Academy?"
According to the old rules of the Qingteng Banquet, if you don't sign up, you will admit that you are invincible and admit defeat, but you will just change to a relatively face-saving method. No one has ever broken this kind of thing, because it involves the dignity of an academy, and it really pushes the other party into a hurry, and no one knows what the consequences will be.
Tonight, the Heavenly Dao Academy's edict did this, he didn't care about the face of the National Religious Academy, he didn't care what the consequences would be, the National Religious Academy, which only had two young children, could it burst out with some amazing strength after being humiliated? That's a joke.
The words of the Heavenly Dao Academy's teachings echoed in the building.
There was silence.
After a while, I either saw the shabby seats of the Anglican College and the deserted pair of young men and women, or I remembered the reality of the decay of the Anglican College, its tragic history, and the attitude of the Holy Queen and the Pope towards the college......
There was laughter in the building.
There is laughter, and there is ridicule.
Some laughter is unintentional, and some laughter is intentional.
But it's all harsh.
