Chapter 11 The Day of the Rising Clouds

"Looks like I'm not doing anything wrong. ”

Chen Changsheng looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Since I haven't done anything wrong, then what do I want to change?"

When he said this, his expression did not change, except that his breathing became heavier with great difficulty.

Only his senior brother knew about it, and this detail showed that he was already very angry.

The middle-aged woman's expression became serious and said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I ...... I'm afraid of dying. Chen Changsheng's voice was as hard as iron," ...... So the first thing I did when I came to Kyoto was to go to the Divine Shogun's Mansion to get married, and just yesterday, I was also going to withdraw from my marriage on the other day after I was admitted to the Heavenly Dao Academy or the Star Picking Academy...... But I'm sorry, I've really changed my mind now. ”

The middle-aged woman stared at him with a slightly cold gaze.

Chen Changsheng looked back at her quietly and said, "Unless you realize what you did wrong, remember my name." ”

The middle-aged woman was silent for a long time.

"Actually, I admire you. ”

She looked at Chen Changsheng, the emotions in her eyes were a little complicated: "I have been watching your life in the past few days, I have never seen a teenager who is so self-disciplined at this age, and these four admission tests, the things you show are rare and worthy of appreciation...... I even sometimes think that if I have a daughter, it should be a good choice to marry her to you. ”

Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say, but when he was praised, he always had to respond, he thought about it and said two words: "Xie Lu Xie." ”

At this time, it is a little ridiculous, some cute, and a lot respectable.

The middle-aged woman looked at the stone wall behind the courtyard gate and said, "But unfortunately, no one in the whole world would think that the young lady should marry you. ”

Chen Changsheng looked at her hand, and saw that there were many names densely engraved on the bluestone wall, this is behind the main gate of the academy, this is not the list of admission exams, so what is the list? He suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday, behind the gate of the Tiandao Academy and the Star Picking Academy, he seemed to have seen similar stone walls, with many names engraved on them.

At the top of the bluestone wall is engraved a line of words - "Good wind frequently borrows strength, send me to the clouds." ”

Seeing this line of words, Chen Changsheng remembered the record in the book, and realized that what was engraved on the bluestone wall of the road was the legendary Qingyun Bang.

There are countless strong people in the mainland, but geniuses always start from their youths - the Qingyun List is the ranking of the strong under the age of 20. The names that can be on the Qingyun List, without exception, are the core disciples of the inner sect who are fully cultivated by various sects in various countries, or talented wizards, as long as they do not disappear halfway, these names will eventually become real powerhouses.

All the faculties in Kyoto and elsewhere have Qingyun lists at their gates, and the faculties want to use those glorious names on the list to motivate students to strive for progress and increase the cohesion among their classmates, but the results are not very goodβ€”the students know very well that they have no possibility of getting into the Qingyun list, and those names make them admire and awe until they despair.

Qingyun Bang does not ask about knowledge, realm, or teacher, regardless of men and women, but only about strength and weakness. The only restriction is that the person on the list must not be more than 20 years old. There have been several times when a person with a relatively low realm has occasionally defeated a strong person with a high realm and has been ranked at the top of the list - this has caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

At the beginning of the Tianji Pavilion's list, this selection criterion was questioned many times, but Tianji Pavilion's answer was simple and powerful - no matter the realm of knowledge, even if the spiritual temperament is cultivated, it is the comprehensive strength that is finally gathered together, and the Qingyun List evaluates the comprehensive strength, and the best way to judge the best is and can only be the winner or loser.

Chen Changsheng's gaze moved on the names on the Qingyun List. Those names are very unfamiliar to him, and occasionally you can see some strange surnames in them, it may be a young powerhouse in the demon domain, or it may be a genius of the Tu tribe in the southern forest, suddenly, he saw Tang Tang's name in the thirty-sixth position, thinking that in the Heavenly Dao Courtyard, the young man in Tsing Yi couldn't help but laugh happily when he talked about the origin of his name Tang Thirty-six, and he was very proud of the other party.

In the end, his eyes came to the highest part of the stone wall, and he saw the name that hung there alone, high up and a little lonely, lonely and even more indifferent and proud, the name he knew the Tao, the name he should be familiar with - Xu Yourong.

"The Qingyun list is full of young geniuses in the world, and my Great Zhou Dynasty is full of talents, but there are more than ten people on the list in the Shendu Metropolis, four in the Heavenly Dao Academy, and three in the Star Picking Academy, but compared with the Southern Immortal Sect, Huai Yuan and other places, it is not particularly excellent, until my young lady enters the list, the winners and losers in the north and south are ......."

The middle-aged woman looked at the stone wall, she couldn't hide her pride, and she didn't need to hide her pride, so she said indifferently: "...... Two years ago, Miss first entered the list, and she was directly listed at the top of the list, and she has never come down since that day. ”

Chen Changsheng looked at the name at the top of the stone wall and was silent. The marriage book has been kept by himself for the past four years, he has read it many times, he knows her name very well, and he also knows how old she is, so that this Miss Xu Fu was invincible on the Qingyun list when she was twelve years old...... The blood of the true phoenix is really amazing.

The middle-aged woman retracted her gaze, looked at Chen Changsheng and said solemnly: "You are indeed very good, you have not succeeded in washing the marrow, and you have the ability to be admitted to those academies, but the gap between you and Miss is too big...... It has nothing to do with struggle, it has nothing to do with talent, and it has nothing to do with hard work. You keep climbing the road of your life, and I believe you can climb to a very high mountain, but she has long since left there, and if you stubbornly want to follow her, you will be greeted by thunder falling from the sky. ”

Chen Changsheng was silent, and then remembered the reincarnation of the true dragon mentioned by Yahuan Shuang'er, the genius who was recognized by the world as a natural pair with Xu Yourong.

"Akiyama-kun ......"

The middle-aged woman didn't expect him to know about the existence of Akiyama-kun, and said expressionlessly: "Akiyama-kun has been at the top of the Qingyun list two years ago. ”

Chen Changsheng asked, "Why is he on the list? Because he doesn't want to lose to Miss Xu?"

The middle-aged woman said: "Akiyama-kun broke through the back realm of sitting in advance two years ago, and now he is the top of the gold list. ”

Chen Changsheng sighed, and found that it was difficult for him to find any comfort in this matter, because those were all high-ranking people, and he himself, not to mention being on the Qingyun List...... It's not even difficult to get on the admissions list of the college, and it's really two worlds that are very different.

He asked: "Earlier you said that the gap between me and Miss Xu has nothing to do with talent and struggle, so what does it have to do with it?"

The middle-aged woman said, "...... It's just about fate. Even if you are the best ordinary person, you are still an ordinary person, and Miss She has not been an ordinary person since she was born, you were born a human, she was born a phoenix, and the gap between the two sides is like heaven and earth. ”

"Original...... It's fate again. ”

Chen Changsheng sighed, and after being silent for a long time, he looked at the middle-aged woman and said seriously: "You probably don't believe it, I came to Kyoto to change my life...... Although it has nothing to do with the marriage contract, the word fate is really not convincing to me. β€œ

The middle-aged woman was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that she had said it so clearly, and he still refused to let go.

As the sun set, Chen Changsheng walked across the street, moving farther away with the crowd.

The middle-aged woman noticed that at first, his head was a little lower, his body was a little sloppy, and he looked a little lonely and tired, but it didn't take long for his body to straighten up, his head to rise, and he began to look at the crowd on the street and the sunset in the distance again.

Twilight shone on the boy's body as if burning.

......

...... ,

"I have never seen such a self-disciplined teenager, who has very strict and perfect self-control in his diet and daily life, who does not have any bad habits or entertainment, who cherishes his time so much that I always feel that someone is chasing him, or that there is a whip that keeps beating him, but he does not give the people around him a sense of anxiety, and it can be seen that he likes to enjoy life, or life...... There was some slight cleanliness habit, I counted on the first day, he washed his hands a total of seven times, and there should have been more than five handkerchiefs. ”

In the Divine General's Mansion, the middle-aged woman stood in front of Mrs. Xu, and said expressionlessly: "Madam, I must say that this child is very good, if he is given a chance, he will definitely grow up very quickly, if there are some good opportunities, or he can have a good future." ”

Mrs. Xu didn't expect that this woman, who had followed her for decades and had always been loyal, would actually speak for that child, frowning, "What do you want to say?"

The middle-aged woman said, "Of course, it is impossible for the young lady to marry him...... But to suppress and humiliate like now, it is better to kill him directly, otherwise he will really be given a chance to turn over in the future, even if he is not afraid in the house, there will be some trouble, besides...... I thought the boy was a good man, so why bother. ”

This kind of logic is probably difficult for ordinary people to understand, but Mrs. Xu understood it, she didn't expect that the woman really appreciated Chen Changsheng, and remembered what Xu Shiji said in the study that night, looked at her deeply, and said, "There are many people staring at the Divine General's Mansion...... Especially those old guys who refuse to give up, if there is a scandal in the house, even if it can't affect the overall situation, the old man of the Holy Queen will definitely not like it, so this matter should be done cautiously, it is naturally best to be able to get the marriage certificate by peaceful means, if it is the most difficult, the young man still has to insist on his poor self-esteem, or wants to seek greater benefits, then he can only let him die quietly, which will also bring some trouble, but it is also a way to get rid of the source of trouble. ”

......

......

Shuang'er returned to the room, and stayed at the table for a long time, thinking about the conversation she had heard outside the door of Madame's room before, she felt a little restless, and took the herbal teapot and poured half of the pot, but she couldn't be calmer, she knew that she could overhear so many words, in fact, Madame just wanted her to hear it...... Madame knew that she often corresponded with the young lady, and deliberately let her hear these words, so naturally she wanted to tell the young lady about this matter through her, which was regarded as a notice. Of course, Miss can't marry that guy named Chen Changsheng, but is there really a need for that? Will Miss agree?

She walked over to the table, laid out the paper, dipped her pen in ink, thought about it, and began to write.
