Lin Cheng has not changed much in recent years, this place is a major cultural and economic center in the south of the Yangtze River, and the war outside has not affected here for a while, even if it is a limited amount of trouble, it is controlled within a certain range.

For example, the burning, looting, and smashing incidents back then, those were all trivial matters. As far as Qin Lin knows, in recent years, due to the competition for the chassis of several forces, several cities have completely disappeared from the territory of the south of the Yangtze River, especially the contact zone of several forces.

This time I came to Lincheng, and Xiliang College did not have an invitation. However, Qin Lin is not worried about security at all, in addition to his own powerful force, there are also some unspoken rules of society.

The two countries are at war, and they still don't kill them, let alone in the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes also have rules and regulations.

"Qin boy, why did you come this time?" Elder Mu was a little curious about this strange combination arranged by the academy, although he felt that it was out of place, but after all, it was the arrangement of the academy, and when he asked it at this moment, several other people expressed curiosity, "If I remember correctly, you were the champion of the autumn exam six years ago, and you were in the same class as the girl of the Su family?"

"What's your relationship with her?"

The elders have access to all the big and small affairs in the academy, and when Qin Lin entered the academy and who he intersected with, there is detailed information in the academy.

He only needed to check it to know Qin Lin's past, especially what interested Elder Mu was the 'close relationship' mentioned in the information, which made him a little surprised.

A hairy boy will make the girl of the Su family interested? What is his ability?

He didn't think that just relying on the name of an autumn test champion could coax the daughter of the Su family to get her head congested, and it had a lot to do with him.

Although the development of the autumn test champion in the future is expected, the future is too ethereal, and women generally pay attention to the present.

"It's a pure friendship relationship, where does it matter!"

Qin Lin was embarrassed, it was not easy to be stared at by a few old men, especially when it came to the topic of this kind of relationship between the sexes, which still made him a little nervous.

Alas~~~ He sighed a little in his heart, why is he so unangry? Isn't it just a relationship between men and women, so he generously admits it, now it's okay, the panic has been sprinkled, and he can only go on talking.

"Does the elder think there's anything else to do with it?"

This rhetorical question has asked a few old men enough, how can it be said that there are more young men and women in the academy who have this kind of relationship? That is to corrupt the atmosphere of Xiliang Academy, and they will not say this kind of thing.

Although this is indeed the case, but who really cares about such idle things, as long as it does not affect the progress of cultivation, they can do whatever they want, in the subconscious of the elders, only cultivation is the last word.

If you can't go up in cultivation, even if it's an obedient and well-behaved child, what's the use?

Hmph, the kid is still stubborn! Several old men have seen Qin Lin's intentions to oppose the army, and they don't break it, at best, it is just gossip driven by curiosity, this kind of mentality will be there even if it reaches the realm of saints, but it depends on whether it can be suppressed.

The knowing smile of several old men made Qin Lin not know what to say, so he had to walk in front to avoid embarrassment.

"Don't laugh!"

"The college is a place for teaching and educating people, and we should not only look at the progress of students' cultivation, but also pay more attention to the cultivation of students' character and moral development. ”

"You people, one by one, have changed your original intention of entering the academy for the sake of the academy's annual reward!!

"Sad~~~Alas~~~"

The one who can reprimand several elders like this is that elder-level figure. As the person at the bottom of the box of Xiliang Academy, he is qualified to comment on all affairs in the academy.

Although the development of the academy seems to be good in recent years, it has actually begun to rot from the secret, and most of the current academy focuses on the improvement of cultivation, which should be a good thing, but some students have become obsessed, and some are unscrupulous.

This matter has been debated dozens of times in the Senate, and there has never been an accurate result.

The point of contention is whether or not students should focus on cultivation and give way to everything else.

One side insists on the viewpoint that only cultivation is the most important thing, and what is the use of not cultivating morality? Is it true that there are people in the rivers and lakes who respect moral character and do not take action?

What the rivers and lakes care about is interests, when the interests are at stake, everything will give way, and only the interests in hand are king.

On the other hand, students should be held to develop their character as the main goal.

"You people, one by one, take the generous resources given by the academy, but never think about the future of the academy, I just want to ask, if this continues, the academy collapses, what is the benefit to you?"

"One day in the future, the students who go out of the academy are selfish and unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals, what will you think?"

"Xiliang Academy was established by the dean's hard work, and its purpose is to cultivate outstanding talents for the Divine Domain, not to cultivate a group of rice buckets. ”

Elder Qiu once angrily reprimanded at the meeting of the elders, and he was sad. Is there really one day that the students who go out of Xiliang College will become like this, what should I do?

You must know that the students who go out of Xiliang College are all respected, because they can uphold the will of Xiliang College, benefit the officials, guard the frontier for the generals, fulfill their duties, contribute their own strength to the Divine Domain, and contribute their own strength to the future of Xiliang College.

But if this tradition changes, if the students who go out of Xiliang College are no longer respected, what will happen then?

"Elder Qiu, you can't say that!" Another patriarch stood up and spoke, fighting against each other, he was the backbone of the opposition, "Why are students respected when they go out?

"The students who went out of Xiliang Academy, one after another, became the pillars of the Divine Domain, and the strength condensed by the students created Xiliang College to have such a reputation in the academy world, aren't they the outstanding talents of Xiliang Academy?"

"Could it be that the people who go out of Xiliang College really want to be like you said, and there is a way out for people to be convinced by virtue?"

"You know, this world is still about fists, relying on a mouth, relying on morality? That can't even go through the graduation season, it's ridiculous!!"

Qiu Lao had nothing to say when he heard this, after all, facts speak louder than words! He still had something to say, but he understood that there was really no point in arguing, and when there was a difference of opinion, no one stood with him, and no one could really understand that kind of sadness.

He also wanted to say that Xiliang College has been declining in recent years, and he also wanted to say that the quality of students has been declining in recent years, and he also wanted to say that some students who walked out of Xiliang College were no longer the pillars of the Divine Domain, but had become vampires who sucked the blood of the people, ruining the reputation of Xiliang College.

But when he saw the disdainful expressions of the patriarchs, he wisely shut up.

He understands that arguing about this matter will inevitably not lead to good results, just like the examples he has put forward, all of which can be summed up in a few sentences, what is the worst situation, what individual cases cannot be generalized, and so on. You may even be given a 'clear high' hat.

In short, in the eyes of these people, the students' failure to cultivate is the greatest sin.

When did Xiliang Academy become the same as other colleges? He remembered the picture he had drawn when the dean found him and invited him to join the academy, and his heart was sad.

"Yes! Elder Qiu taught a lesson!" Several elders were naturally well aware of what was happening at the meeting of the elders, but they were always the elders of the academy and could not be offended.

Elder Qiu looked at the expressions of several elders, he didn't know the abacus in the hearts of several people, and he had no way to control people's hearts when it came to helplessness.

"Xiao Qin, you lead the way, let's go to the Su family for a while!" Old Qiu gave an order, mainly because he was angry.

Qin Lin naturally wanted to lead the way, because it was impossible for him to let a few elders be the stepping stones.

Su Mansion is in front of him, after three years, he came to this place again, and Qin Lin's heart was still up and down.

It was here three years ago that he said goodbye to Su Xinyan.

It was also here that I met a friend. Until now, he still remembered that he owed the other party a sword, and Qin Lin still didn't know his whereabouts, but he had heard the dean occasionally mention it, so he didn't have to worry.

It was here that he got to know a bunch of people, and he also opened a small shop during this period, and he didn't know what happened to that pharmacy now. However, when I left, I had already explained that the store would be fully managed by the shopkeeper in the future, plus some preparations in the early stage, there should be no problems in operation.

Today's Su Mansion is full of lights, and it looks like the atmosphere of a happy event is approaching, just three days later, Su Xinyan and Yin Cuttlefish will hold an engagement ceremony, which can be regarded as a solid bridge for the alliance between the Su family and the Caiyun family.

But this kind of atmosphere, he really can't be happy.
