Chapter 21: I Admire You
In the afternoon of the same day, the first part of the entrance examination of Red Mountain Academy came to a successful conclusion, and more than 50,000 candidates all completed the test of magic energy adaptability.
The results of the test were compiled and summarized at the desk of the director in charge of admissions before dinner.
The black-clothed middle-aged demon priest flipped through the summary of the report, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
The report was presented by a young demon priest who had just taken up his post at the academy and had a passion for his work that is unique to young people. He saw that the director seemed to be emotionally moved by the report, so he said playfully: "The level of this year's candidates is indeed remarkable, although the average score has not changed much, but the number of high-scoring students has doubled faster than last year, and there are as many as 20 people with more than 100 points! I remember that five years ago, 102 points was the highest score in the first ring, and this year's record was actually brushed up to 123 points by the dean's closed disciples, which is simply shocking! But if you want to say that it is shocking, the 0-point candidate is even more shocking, I still can't figure out, how can he measure a 0 score......"
The black-clothed director raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Since you can't figure out such a simple question, how can you still have time to make endless noise here? Read more books and talk less nonsense, or you will die!"
The young man fled like a licking dog with nothing.
When the office became quiet, the black-clothed director sneered: "0 points? This is the forbidden demon body in ancient times, put this kid in, I'm afraid the mentors will break their heads...... It is said that this northern snow-capped mountain is really capable of producing people, and the body of the demon god and the body of the forbidden demon that only exist in the legend actually popped out one after another. However, you, a person who has forbidden demons, came to take the entrance exam of the Demon Dao Academy, isn't it a little, a little ......?"
Speaking of this, the director couldn't help but get stuck, he really didn't know how to say what he was, and then, he turned his pen, touched his chin, pulled his hair, racked his brains and couldn't think of an appropriate and humorous analogy, and suddenly felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
And this Bai Xiao, who scored 0 points, was also deeply remembered by him.
Bai Xiao, you savage dare to let me suffer such humiliation, remember it for me!
——
The second round of exams at Red Hill College was scheduled to begin the next morning, the same as before. Bai Xiao arrived a few minutes earlier than yesterday, and Qingyue had not yet arrived, but there were already many candidates gathered in front of the door.
For most candidates, this one-in-a-hundred entrance exam cannot tolerate sloppiness, even some teenagers who have been burdened with the name of genius since childhood, do not dare to say that they can pass the customs with nine out of ten. In such a tense atmosphere, early arrival has become a kind of etiquette to show sincerity and awareness. In comparison, like Bai Xiao, who honestly followed the time stated in the admission ticket, almost pinched a little, it was simply frivolous and obscene!
However, considering that the Demon Dao Princess Qingyue came later today, the candidates unanimously decided not to look at Bai Xiao with contempt and contempt for the time being.
Of course, seeing Bai Xiao present, people are still impatient and curious, his two major feats yesterday can be described as shocking the whole city: a booze worth 80 million, and a 0-point test result that is enough to trigger a hidden profession.
At this time, even if he is most disgusted with this snowy mountain savage in his heart, he really wants to see what surprises he can bring to everyone next, of course, it is best to walk on the road and suddenly fall to the ground, and explode himself Spiral Ascension-style surprise, people definitely don't mind basing their happiness on the pain of this wild man.
Bai Xiao bathed in the eyes of the people around him, enjoying a moment of tranquility alone.
Although he didn't know enough about many things in the Southern Continent, he could at least tell the good and bad intentions of the people around him, so he knew very well how unpopular he was here. Yesterday, the pair of brocade robe duo who took the initiative to jump out to sensationalize, although he didn't care, after all, he didn't see it.
But it doesn't matter, he's not here to make friends. There was only one focus of his attention from beginning to end.
Not long after, Qingyue was late, a trace of tiredness flashed in her bright eyes, and the vitality that once made Bai Xiao feel amazing also seemed to be sluggish.
"What's wrong?"
The same question also flashed in the minds of countless candidates around him.
Unlike Bai Xiao, a sturdy young man who looks like a savage, Qingyue has become an eternal pure and immaculate goddess in the hearts of many people since the moment she appeared in the public eye, so even if she has a so-called ex-boyfriend, she is still worried by countless people.
Qing Yue responded to Bai Xiao's question with a wry smile: "Yesterday I saw a book about the strange theory of the Demon Dao, and I stayed up all night without paying attention...... But don't worry about me, it won't affect the exam results. What about you, how are you preparing?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyue regretted it, and sighed that it really damaged her intelligence all night, and she forgot yesterday's lesson......
Sure enough, the next moment, Bai Xiao put down his animal skin bag, and then put out a set of exquisite tea sets.
"I read the book and said that the 'Misty Feather' cultivated by Master Ping of the Feiyu Tea House has the effect of calming the nerves and awakening the mind, which is very helpful to the candidates who participated in the theory test, so I asked someone to buy one, and the seller also gave me a set of tea sets. ”
Qingyue covered her face with her hands, not knowing what to say.
Feiyu Teahouse, Mi Li Yu, although it is not as outrageous as yesterday's original magic liquid, but it is also a super high-end luxury that is difficult for ordinary nobles to enjoy, and the Mi Li Yu cultivated by Master Ping himself is even more expensive every year, Zhu Junshen usually chatters in the laboratory, saying that before he invested in blood loss, he could drink a pot of Mi Li Yu every year, and drinking a cup of fresh orange juice in the past two years is like a New Year...... Then this tea Bai Xiao actually said to buy it!
Someone next to him suddenly said: "Misty Feather brewing is very particular, do you know the tea ceremony? ”
Bai Xiao said: "I don't understand, so I asked someone to invite an expert." ”
As he spoke, he saw a green leaf floating in mid-air, and when he landed, the green leaf turned into a luxury car full of jasper. Driven by magical energy, the door opened leisurely, and a petite girl was the first to get out of the car, and then turned to help an old man down.
The moment the old man appeared, there was a gasping sound in front of the examination room.
"Master Ping!?"
"Is it a real person!? That tea ceremony master who is known as a national treasure? Doesn't it mean that he has been retired for a long time?"
"Yes, it is said that many Demon Dao masters have repeatedly refused to invite him to the tea party, why did he ......?"
"Could it be that it's for Qingyue's face?"
"No, it's said that the dean himself can't even invite him, and the dean's disciples should still be on fire, right?"
In the midst of everyone's discussions, the master of national treasures, under the guidance of the petite girl, slowly walked in front of Bai Xiao, raised his head, and asked, "You are the Bai Xiao who invited me to make tea with 20 million silver dollars?"
The chatter all around came to an abrupt end.
Many people once again feel that their three views have been insulted by money.
The old man glanced at the exquisite tea set on the ground, and then looked at Bai Xiao: "Do you know tea?"
Bai Xiao replied calmly: "I don't understand." ”
"Do you know how many generations of painstaking efforts have been condensed in the Misty Feather I cultivated with my own hands, and how many divine effects have been condensed?"
"I don't know. ”
"Do you know what my tea ceremony skills are strong at, and how they are different from others?"
"Nothing. ”
Master Ping's voice was indifferent, and he continued to ask, "So, you just heard about my fame, so you paid me to make tea for you?"
Bai Xiao nodded.
At this time, the surrounding audience had already sweated for Bai Xiao.
Master Ping of this Feiyulou, who studied the tea ceremony all his life, and his love and dedication to tea can be said to be famous in the East and West continents, and many deeds when he was young were written into the textbooks of Mongolian studies. If anyone dares to scorn the tea ceremony in front of him, even if the emperor and nobles will turn his face right. This snow-capped savage is clearly a local nouveau riche who came to burn the qin and cook the crane, and he is afraid that he will provoke the anger of Master Ping!
Of course, there are also many people who are secretly happy in their hearts, implying expectations, and can't wait for this wild man to be slapped in the face by the national treasure master on the spot and beaten into the shape of a flounder.
However, the next moment, people saw Master Ping's tense face, like melting snow in early spring.
"Very good, what I admire most is a young man like you. ”
