66. Chapter 66
"Look! Qinglian won the second place in the martial arts exam, but the other literary and military cultivators were the first from the bottom!" Lin Shi pointed to the report card and shouted loudly, making Xia Qinglian blush on the spot.
"Du Long! How did you do it?! Qinglian skipped class, and it was normal for her grades to be poor! You are good, you can still take the first place in the exam if you skip class every day? Is there any reason for this? ! Are you cheating?!" Princess Huofeng looked Du Long up and down suspiciously.
Just kidding, it is absolutely impossible for Du Long to admit that he won the first place by cheating, once he is known by the academy, he will be expelled directly, and he can't admit that he is temporarily cheating, and even Xia Qinglian, who follows him all day long, doesn't know that there is a ring spirit!
"Don't slander good people! This can only show that I can become a self-taught person, right! I am a genius, definitely a genius that is rare in a hundred years!" After Du Long said these words, he immediately blushed, half because he lied, and the other half because he was disgusted by his own words.
"Weird! There's definitely something weird here!" Princess Huofeng muttered as she looked at him in disbelief, but unfortunately she couldn't find any evidence.
"Hahaha......"
A group of friends were amused by the conversation between the two of them, and everyone looked at Du Long with admiration, including Xia Qinglian, the two of them mixed together most of the time every day, and I really don't know how he found time to be self-taught!
After careful calculation, in addition to taking a bath and changing clothes every day, plus occasionally not going to Juyuan Cave to practice separately, almost all the rest of the time is soaked together, and if she can learn by herself in this free time, she can't help but admire Du Long!
In the afternoon of the same day, all the first-year students of the martial arts department gathered in the class classroom, and Du Long and Xia Qinglian were naturally embarrassed to run away in the last class before the holiday!
In fact, it is because the homeroom teacher and tutor have already put down their words, and everyone must be present in this class at their own risk!
"Students, most of you have only joined Haotian Academy for less than two months, and you are ushering in your first New Year's vacation! Here, there are many things to explain to you clearly......" On the podium, the head teacher and tutor Zhao Yan began to explain the things before the holiday.
For example, from the end of today's class, it is the beginning of the New Year's holiday, and after the holiday ends on January 18 next year, everyone must go back to school on time to report, and also explain to the old student who has reached the cyclone level with a new breakthrough, he can go to the second grade to report from next year!
For the new students, this didn't feel much, but for those old students who hadn't been able to break through the cyclone level for a whole year, this lucky guy made them very envious.
Finally, after talking about a lot of precautions, Zhao Yan sent down a stack of transcripts in her hand, according to the usual practice, these transcripts are ready for the students to take home to their parents.
"Okay!" After seeing that all the students got their respective transcripts, Zhao Yan patted her hands, and after the students below quieted down, she said with a smile: "This year's last class is here! Remember to report back to the college on time on the eighteenth day of the first month next year, and no one is allowed to be late for me! Finally, I wish all students a happy new year in advance, and class is over!"
Airplanes!
With Zhao Yan announcing the end of class, the freshmen students who had been waiting impatiently for a long time stood up one after another and began to leave the classroom one after another, of course, some of the students here who could not go home for the New Year were not so excited, they estimated that even if it was a holiday, they would continue to stay in the academy and continue to do penance!
According to the original plan, Du Long and the others went directly back to their respective dormitories, cleaned up briefly, and left the academy in a hurry......
Du Fu, knowing that Su and Yuan are classmates of their baby son, because they can't go home for the New Year, after preparing to be guests in Du Mansion this year, Du Zhentian and his wife naturally warmly welcomed!
In the living room of the East Wing, after some politeness, everyone sat down, and Zhou Ruoxue couldn't wait to urge: "Stinky boy, why don't you hurry up and bring your and Qinglian's academic transcripts to your mother?!"
Since the results of the exam were only announced at noon today, although the capital was very close to the Royal Academy, Du Zhentian and his wife obviously did not know the results of the exam.
Du Long naturally took out the transcript calmly, and then handed it in, but Xia Qinglian blushed and handed over the transcript a little awkwardly, and could clearly feel that her transcript was still a little wrinkled, obviously wet by the sweat of her palms.
Looking at the report card of her precious son in her hand, Zhou Ruoxue's eyes became brighter and brighter, obviously irritated by the first place in the three grades, and finally hugged Du Long's head and kissed her fiercely in front of everyone.
"Hahaha! It's a good child born to my mother! I won the first place in all three grades, which is really great!"
Mrs. Du's exaggerated performance made Su Jinbao and Yuan Yu, who were sitting on the side, completely dumbfounded, they never thought that Mrs. Du, who was gentle and virtuous in appearance, would have such a refreshing side!
Soon, from the strange eyes of everyone, he found that he had lost his temper in front of the child, no matter how thick Zhou Ruoxue's face was, she couldn't help but float a touch of red, and hurriedly opened her mouth to cover it up: "Shocking! You also look at the report card of our precious son, he actually won three first places in the first year of the Royal Academy!"
After handing Du Long's report card to his father, a child with a smile on his face, Zhou Ruoxue looked down with a smile to check another report card, which made Xia Qinglian suddenly nervous, and her hands were a little helpless and her sleeves were twisted.
Much to her surprise, Zhou Ruoxue actually nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Qinglian is also doing very well! Martial arts cultivation results are actually ranked second after Du Long! Haha, in this way, the top two first-year martial arts departments of the Royal Academy have been taken care of by our two children!"
'Our two children' seemed to be an ordinary sentence, but Xia Qinglian was secretly moved, and her eyes were a little moist and she said: "Mother-in-law! Qinglian's grades in literary and military cultivation are so bad that she doesn't have the face to see you......"
"It doesn't matter if the results of those two subjects are good or bad, your choice is obviously correct! Since girls can't enter the official career, what's the use of learning those intrigues or war things?! It's better to focus all your energy on martial arts cultivation, and it is better to become a strong person with spiritual strength in the future than anything else!" Zhou Ruoxue pulled the somewhat shy righteous girl and comforted her gently.
"Xie Yimu doesn't blame Qinglian......" Xia Qinglian, who was held by Zhou Ruoxue's jade hand, was already red at the moment, and she could personally feel her stepmother's sincere love for her!
Patting her jade hand comfortingly, Zhou Ruoxue turned her head to look at Su and Yuan and said with a smile: "You two live in the same courtyard as Du Long!
"Thank you, aunt!Hehe, that Jinbao and Yuan Yu have been bothering for this time!" Su Jinbao accepted unceremoniously, and Yuan Yu on the side also bowed.
Looking at the smiling Su Jinbao, Zhou Ruoxue likes his character very much, not pretentious at all, and also reveals a rare aristocratic temperament, this temperament is definitely not something that ordinary nouveau riche can have, it seems that his family must have an extraordinary historical heritage, so a young man can have this aristocratic temperament!
"Hehe! You're the one who borrowed 5,000 gold coins to Du Long to make a bet without saying a word, right?!It's just a classmate who just met, and he is willing to be so righteous, it's really righteous enough, my family Du Long has a good brother like you, I'm finally relieved!" Zhou Ruoxue smiled with relief.
"Let my aunt smile! Jinbao's family has a little money, but he is just a rich businessman's son who smells of copper! Where can he compare with a great nobleman like the Du family!" Su Jinbao replied with a modest smile.
"Well, young people, rich but not delicate, it's good to be humble and cautious!" Du Mu Zhou Ruoxue approvingly.
Everyone chatted in the living room for a long time, and Zhou Ruoxue sent someone to clean up the two empty rooms in the courtyard where Du Long lived early in the morning.
At this point, Du Long's family has two more pairs of chopsticks, seeing that the New Year is approaching, the family's meals on weekdays are also much more lively, and they begin to gradually feel a festive atmosphere of the New Year.
During the day, he walked around the capital with Su Yuan and the others, and from time to time he visited Yue Xiaoshan's house, during which he also participated in a top son's party, Du Long, who had grown up at the age of sixteen, naturally had the right to participate in this kind of party.
Time passed, and seeing that tomorrow was the big day of the New Year's celebration, after Du Long handed over Su Yuan and the others to Yue Xiaoshan, he took Xia Qinglian and went straight to Lingyun Mountain.
Since entering the Royal Academy, he has not visited the Lingyun Mountain Absolute Valley for two months, and the reason why he came here today is mainly to invite his grandfather, who is in retreat and cultivation, to return home for the New Year!
At the beginning, Old Man Du said that he wanted to retreat and break through the spiritual level, Du Long immediately thought that breaking through the spiritual level was an extremely confidential matter, so he suggested to his grandfather to go to Lingyun Mountain, an inaccessible valley retreat.
Not only is there no outsider to disturb here, the key is that the internal heaven and earth aura is strong, which is also very beneficial to the old man's breakthrough, after all, when breaking through at any level, a large amount of heaven and earth aura is needed to replenish it!
Constantly borrowing strength on the cliff, Du Long and Xia Qinglian rushed to the bottom of the valley lightly, and when they were about to reach the bottom of the valley, a vigilant shout came from below: "Who is coming?!"
As soon as Du Long heard the voice, he knew that it was an old horse who had followed his grandfather for decades, and it was estimated that the bottom of the valley was full of clouds and mist, and he could only vaguely hear the sound of someone coming to the sky, so he shouted!
"Ma Bo, it's me and Qinglian!" In order not to cause misunderstanding, Du Long immediately responded.
"Hehe, it turns out that Childe and Miss are here!" After hearing Du Long's voice clearly, Lao Ma breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile.
"Is Long'er coming?!" At this moment, Old Man Du, who had long been alarmed by the old horse's shouting, appeared at the mouth of the cave, and he was smiling at the two figures falling in the air.
