in the room.

Luo Qingfeng and the nightingale looked at each other.

Nightingale joked: "It can't be that the talent is too good, Teacher Cao can't believe it's true, right?" ”

Luo Qingfeng didn't smile, but looked at her seriously and said, "Sister Nightingale, did that Teacher Yuan just now have ill intentions towards you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the nightingale's face suddenly changed.

She was silent for a moment, and looked at him with some confusion: "You...... How do you know? Do you know him? ”

Luo Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I can see it." Although Mr. Cao just said that his son has a crush on you, it should actually be him. As soon as Sister Nightingale saw him, she lowered her head and frowned, showing disgust and rejection, she should have known who he was for a long time, right? ”

Nightingale's face suddenly turned gloomy, as if he recalled something unpleasant, hesitated for a moment, and said: "He didn't know where he learned about my family, knew that I needed money, and then he wanted to use it again and again...... Hmph, after I ignored him, last time he actually found me in person, saying that as long as I promised him, he would find a way to cure Crow's illness, and I was very angry that day, and scolded him directly......"

"A few days ago, Meng Fatzi complained, saying that I didn't tell the captain that you are a cultivator, and then I was fined three months of silver, it should be what he said when he went to the Law Enforcement Hall, otherwise it would be impossible to be punished so severely, and I was not wrong......"

Luo Qingfeng frowned and said, "Why don't you tell Teacher Cao, or report it to the top management of the academy?" ”

Nightingale bowed her head slightly, sighed and said, "You just came, and you don't know much about his family power. Our Southern Courtyard Heavenly Ladder Department, Earth Ladder Department, and Human Ladder Department all have people from his family. Although Mr. Cao has been helping me, he doesn't dare to offend him too much. ”

After Luo Qingfeng listened, the impression of this place in his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

I thought this was a place to get rid of demons and defend the family for the country and the people, bright and majestic, but who knows, it is also so dark.

Sure enough, it still confirms the saying, where there are people, there is struggle and darkness.

This world is full of demons, everyone is in danger, and those who should have united and united to eliminate demons would have thought that it would be like this.

"Sister Nightingale, I ......"

Luo Qingfeng was ready to give up entering the Demon Suppression Courtyard, or like that eldest cousin, he could go to a sect to cultivate.

But suddenly, he hesitated again.

If he leaves, in the future, except for that Teacher Cao, who can help this lonely girl who can only rely on her own hard work to support her family?

At this time, Cao Qin came back and said, "Deacon Shangguan is in the Wangliu Tower at the entrance of the academy, let's go, let's go there." ”

Then he explained: "Qingfeng, your situation may be a little complicated, I can't see anything for the time being, so I can only find the Shangguan Deacon to take a look." ”

"Let's go."

The nightingale lowered her head and touched Luo Qingfeng's sleeve, as if she was a little afraid that he would regret it.

Luo Qingfeng didn't speak anymore and followed out the door.

At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that the girl next to him seemed to unconsciously regard him as a trace of dependence.

After telling the secret she had just told the others she had just dared not tell anyone else, she seemed to trust and get a little closer to him.

Luo Qingfeng looked ahead, and the hand in his sleeve robe slowly clenched.

The three of them went down the attic and headed east.

I met some people on the way, and they all greeted Cao Qin politely.

The college occupies an extremely large area.

It took about a pillar of incense for a few people to arrive at the gate of the college.

But the gate of the academy was built in an extraordinarily simple way, without any extravagant decorations, only an iron gate, a stone monument, and two ancient towering pines at the door.

A lot of people had already gathered outside the door.

Most of the teachers and students in the South Courtyard are wearing dark blue courtyard uniforms, and those in the North Courtyard are wearing gray and white courtyard uniforms, but whether it is a person from the South Courtyard or the North Courtyard, the left chest position of the courtyard uniform is embroidered with the logo of the Demon Suppression Courtyard, a long sword.

The color of the sword changes depending on the identity.

Cao Qin directly led the two of them to the attic near the right side of the door.

On the fifth floor of the attic, there were seven or eight men and women wearing dark blue and gray and white robes of the Demon Suppression Courtyard, sitting on it and chatting, chatting with a strong smell of gunpowder, respectively the people in charge of enrollment in the South Courtyard and the North Courtyard.

Yuan Tong, who had just left Cao Qin, was also standing beside him.

A disciple came up to report: "Teacher Cao has two students and wants to see Deacon Shangguan." ”

A square-faced middle-aged man sitting in the middle was a little surprised when he heard this, and when he was about to get up and go down, a middle-aged man with a long beard next to him smiled and said, "Brother Shangguan, let Teacher Cao and them come up, why do you bother to go down." Could it be that there are any secrets that you don't want me to know? ”

When Shangguan Ming heard this, he had to smile and said to the disciple, "Let Master Cao and them come up." ”

At this time, Yuan Tong whispered a few words into the ear of the middle-aged man with a long beard.

Cao Qin was rewarded by his disciple and immediately took Luo Qingfeng and Nightingale upstairs.

After coming to the fifth floor, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute them one by one, then walked to Shangguan Ming's side and whispered to him: "Shangguan Deacon, I have a new student here, it's a little strange, I can't detect his talent, so I want to ask Shangguan Deacon to help check it." ”

Shangguan Ming was a little surprised when he heard this: "Can't detect talent? ”

Cao Qin said in a low voice: "The talent should not be ordinary, according to what the nightingale said, it only took a few days for this young man to be promoted from the two-star realm of the open sky to the four-star realm. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Ming stood up suddenly.

The other people next to him were already curious about the conversation between the two, and when they saw his big reaction at this time, they hurriedly opened their mouths to ask.

A few people on the other side of the north courtyard couldn't help but ask.

"Deacon Shangguan, what is it that shocked you like this, tell us about it."

Shangguan Ming didn't answer, walked directly to the door, looked at the young man in front of him and said, "What Teacher Cao said just now is true?" It only took you a few days to advance from the two-star realm of Open Heaven to the four-star realm? ”

As soon as these words came out, the house suddenly exploded.

Both the people from the South Courtyard and the North Courtyard all stood up from their chairs at once.

"Really? It only took a few days to upgrade from two stars to four stars? ”

"If that's the case, isn't it even more powerful than the geniuses in the king's class?"

Everyone was shocked.

A few people in the south courtyard were full of surprise, and a few people in the north courtyard were full of suspicion.

The two academies have always been in competition, and if the other party gets good students, the cultivation resources and rewards of the general academy will be tilted at that time, and they may earn more glory than their own.

Shangguan Ming didn't have time to ignore them, and immediately stretched out his hand to look at the young man in front of him and said, "Take out your left hand, I'll check your talent." ”

Luo Qingfeng stretched out his left hand, and then slowly urged the star power in his body.

He could clearly feel that a gaze swept along the meridians of his wrist.

At this time, he suddenly looked inward and found that the red bead in the sea suddenly disappeared, and he didn't know if it was hidden or where it went.

Shangguan Ming closed his eyes and repeatedly checked for a long time before Fang slowly opened his eyes.

The others hurriedly gathered around and asked, "Deacon Shangguan, how is it?" What talent? ”

Shangguan Ming didn't answer, the look of surprise that had just sprung up on his face had disappeared, he frowned slightly, looked at the young man in front of him and asked, "You have been promoted from the two-star of Kaitian to the four-star realm, did you rely on your own breakthrough, or did you eat something?" ”

Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment and said, "I took a pill." ”

When Shangguan Ming heard this, he nodded in his heart: "Sure enough, that pill is probably not an ordinary pill, right?" ”

Luo Qingfeng bowed his head slightly and did not answer.

Shangguan Ming smiled faintly, looked at the others around him, and sighed and said, "It's just an ordinary talent, and the reason why I can advance in such a short period of time is because the pill forcibly stimulates all the potential of the whole body." In this way, he is afraid that he will not be able to advance in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still full of excitement and anticipation just now was suddenly disappointed.

"I see, I actually relied on the elixir to forcibly stimulate my own potential. I said, how can there be so many geniuses. ”

"Hey, the young people now, they're just too eager to get done, and now it's okay, if you destroy your bones and body, you won't be able to advance in the future."

Everyone suddenly lost interest, dispersed, and sat back in their original positions.

Cao Qin was a little embarrassed, and said a little reluctantly: "Shangguan Deacon, is this really the case?" ”

Shangguan Ming nodded: "I'm also afraid that the check will be wrong, so I repeated the check several times, and it's true." He relied on the pill to forcibly advance, and the path of cultivation was basically coming to an end, and if he worked hard in the future, it was estimated that he would only be promoted to one level at most, and it was basically impossible to go backwards. ”

When Cao Qin heard this, her face was also full of disappointment.

Nightingale stood at the door and couldn't help but whisper: "Teacher Cao, then ...... him"

Cao Qin hurriedly said: "Deacon Shangguan, look, can we recruit him in our class?" Some ordinary tasks can still be assigned to him. ”

At this time, Yuan Tong, who was standing on the side, suddenly sneered and said: "Teacher Cao, we don't want everyone in the Southern Academy, this kind of student who ruined his cultivation path for a quick promotion for a while, what do you think is the use of asking for it?" ”

Cao Qin looked at him coldly and said, "We want it in the first class, and we don't want you to ask for it in the second class." ”

At this time, the middle-aged man with a long beard spoke: "Teacher Cao, this time our enrollment in the South Academy is limited. Although there are teachers who directly recruit students every year, it depends on whether there are enough places. This year, the old man took a look, it is estimated that the number of places is not enough, the old man is responsible for this enrollment, it is impossible to recruit a student without any future because of your personal relationship, and give up other promising students, right? ”

Cao Qin looked at him, her face was ugly, and she didn't speak again.

This person's name is Sun Changshan, and he is indeed one of the persons in charge of the enrollment of the Southern Academy, and he is also the deacon of the Human Rank Department, which belongs to her superiors.

Shangguan Ming was a little embarrassed: "Teacher Cao, look ......"

He is also one of the people in charge of the enrollment of the Southern Academy, but he can't have the final say alone.

Newly recruited disciples, when the time comes, several elders will have to personally review, if such a student who has no growth prospects, and reject a student who can continue to grow, then it will be his responsibility.

Cao Qin sighed lightly, didn't continue, and said, "Trouble the deacon Shangguan, then we won't bother you." ”

She turned and looked at the teenager and girl behind her, an apologetic look on her face.

The nightingale looked ugly and did not dare to speak again.

Just as he was about to leave, a tall thin man in a gray and white robe suddenly spoke: "Teacher Cao, this young man is wearing a Confucian robe, or is he a scholar?" ”

Cao Qin stopped, turned around and arched his hand: "Deacon Liang, he is indeed still a scholar. ”

"Oh?"

The tall and thin man stood up from the chair, looked at the young man at the door a few more times, and said, "Have you ever tested your fame?" ”

Luo Qingfeng bowed his head and arched his hand: "It's just a showman." ”

"Xiucai?"

Liang Lizhi nodded, and suddenly smiled: "Xiucai will also be settled, in this way, are you interested in going to our North Courtyard?" I am the deacon of the North Courtyard Human Order, and it just so happens that we need someone to help us in the library pavilion, if you are willing to go, I can directly recruit you in, and then you can also cultivate with others. ”

At this time, Yuan Tong, who was on the side, suddenly deliberately smiled at the middle-aged man with a long beard, Sun Changshan: "In the future, everything we don't want in the South Courtyard will be directly thrown to the North Courtyard, so as not to waste it." ”

Sun Changshan laughed, and also sneered: "The North Courtyard has lost the seven-star test for three consecutive years, and it can't recruit anyone, but now it is those who come who don't refuse, and everyone wants it." ”

The rest of the people in the South Courtyard also laughed unscrupulously.

There has always been a contradiction between the two courts, and every time they meet, they will have a-for-tat confrontation, just before Luo Qingfeng and the others came, the two sides were mocking each other, and now that the southern courtyard has found an opportunity, it is naturally not stingy to ridicule.

The rest of the people in the North Courtyard all had calm faces.

One of them, a slightly chubby middle-aged man in a gray robe, couldn't help but shoot back: "As a senior, ridiculing others in front of other juniors is a waste, you don't want any education in the Southern Courtyard, right?" ”

Another woman in a gray robe said: "And I like to look down on people with dog eyes, how do you know that this young man will not be able to advance in the future?" Maybe people have another adventure and continue to rise two levels in a row? ”

Sun Changshan suddenly laughed: "After daring to love, all the opportunities in the world will be taken up by your North Courtyard." ”

The rest of the people in the South Courtyard also burst into laughter.

Liang Lizhi didn't interject, and continued to look at the young man in front of him and said, "Are you willing to enter our North Courtyard?" ”

Before Luo Qingfeng could reply, the nightingale was already secretly pulling his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Yes, say yes......"

Luo Qingfeng bowed his head and bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "The student is willing." ”

Liang Lizhi nodded, didn't say more, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the pen, opened the book on the table, and said, "Name, hometown, address, current cultivation, family, all talk about it." ”

The nightingale hurriedly replied: "Luo Qingfeng, a native of Qingquan Town, Wangxing County, address...... Not yet. Today's cultivation, open the sky and four stars, and the family ......"

Luo Qingfeng suddenly spoke: "Deacon Liang, if it is a five-star open sky, can the academy provide a place to live?" ”

Liang Lizhi was stunned when he heard this.

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.

Yuan Tong looked at him with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Yes."

Liang Lizhi thought for a while, nodded, and was about to write down the words "Open Heaven Four Stars" when Luo Qingfeng suddenly said: "Then I am now the Open Heaven Five Stars." ”

With these words, the room suddenly fell silent.
