Chapter 030: The County Lord's Request
The county lord Yuan Jinlong finally announced: "Due to the small number of people in this county examination, we have unanimously decided to cancel this county examination, and anyone who reports within today, as long as it is recorded, has the qualification to participate in the state examination, and I hope everyone will fight for our Yongan County in the future." β
"What? I didn't even have to take the county test, I was worried about it for a few days, but I didn't expect it to pass without much effort!"
"This is not surprising, there were many people who participated in the past, but only 1,000 people could be selected to participate in the state examination, and now there are more than 600 talents here, where do you still need the county examination." β
Gu Feiyu and the others also looked at each other, it was indeed the case, but there were still some surprises, they thought that they would lower the requirements of the county examination, but they didn't expect that they didn't have to try it directly, as long as they were registered, they could go to the state examination, this is really unexpected news, I am afraid that this is the first time this situation has occurred in Yunzhou.
After Yuan Jinlong finished speaking, Su Shujie stood up and glanced at everyone, not only intentionally or unintentionally stopping at Gu Feiyu before leaving, and said: "I still have a good thing to tell you here, when we were investigating a few days ago, we found a small cave blessed land in Yong'an County, and interested friends can come here tomorrow to take a look with me." β
"What is the Blessed Heaven? Why haven't we heard of it?"
"Yes, I haven't heard of it either, but listening to the tone of Master Su seems to be a good thing. β
Regarding everyone's doubts, Su Shujie just smiled mysteriously and did not explain too much.
Gu Feiyu, Gu Jianbao and the others all looked at it, Gu Feng was like an all-round book at this time, and he would know a little bit about everything.
Gu Feng looked at everyone looking at him, and said lightly: "I haven't heard of it." β
"I thought you knew everything, and you wasted my expectations of you. Gu Jianbao said.
Gu Feiyu wasn't surprised, although Gu Feng knew a little more than them, but Xiuzhen was a complex and mysterious thing, and what they knew now was not even the tip of the iceberg.
The crowd began to disperse gradually, and it was undoubtedly the biggest surprise that the county exam was not passed, many people who came for the county exam were already satisfied and ready to go back, while some people were interested in what Su Shujie said about the blessed land, and chose to stay and wait for a day to see.
Among Gu Feiyu and the others, the happiest at the moment is undoubtedly Gu Shi, her cultivation is the lowest if it is according to the normal county examination, which is undoubtedly the most worrying, but now she has no worries, and said with a smile: "What should we do?
Gu Jianbao didn't express any opinions, and Gu Feng set his eyes on Gu Feiyu.
Gu Feiyu saw that everyone was looking at her, and couldn't help but look at Bai Feiyan, but she said, "Since I am with you, I will naturally listen to you." β
Gu Feiyu shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "I think Senior Brother Su is not bad, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land should be something beneficial to us, and it doesn't hurt to go and see it tomorrow." β
Naturally, the others had no opinion and nodded in agreement.
At this time, Sun Jiuming walked over with them, and the most impressive thing for him was undoubtedly Gu Jianbao, who laughed at the moment, and said in the tone of the day: "Sun cub, you are not an uncle at the city gate, why did you come here?"
Gu Shi smiled again and again, and Bai Feiyan's eyes also showed a little smile.
Sun Jiuming's face was full of black lines, and he secretly complained in his heart, if it wasn't for the county lord's words, he wouldn't want to come here to be embarrassed, he smiled awkwardly, and said: "Gu Feiyu Gongzi and Bai Feiyan girl, the county lord has invited the two of you to go and talk about something!"
Gu Feiyu was slightly surprised in his heart, and said, "The county lord invited the two of us, do you know what the matter is?"
Sun Jiuming shook his head and said, "How can the villain know about the county lord's affairs, so let's ask the prince to come over in person." β
Gu Feiyu and Bai Feiyan glanced at each other, and then said to Gu Feng and the others: "You go back to the inn and wait for us first, I'll go over with Feiyan." β
After saying goodbye to Gu Feng and the others, Gu Feiyu and Bai Feiyan followed Sun Jiuming all the way to the room where the county lord was, but they didn't expect Su Shujie to be there, and smiled slightly after seeing Gu Feiyu.
Yuan Jinlong was very polite and enthusiastic, and hurriedly beckoned them to sit down after seeing Gu Feiyu and the two.
"It's the first time you've come to Yong'an County, I don't know how you've felt these days, and if there's anything you feel unaccustomed to?" Yuan Jinlong asked politely.
Gu Feiyu smiled and said: "Yong'an County is naturally much better than a small place like our Changshou County, how can there be a reason to live unaccustomed, thank you County Lord Yuan for your concern." β
Yuan Jinlong saw Bai Feiyan sitting there without speaking, but he didn't dare to ignore her, and took the initiative to ask, "Where is the white girl?"
Bai Feiyan looked stunned, and then said: "Brother Feiyu and I are also from Changshou County, so naturally there is no reason to be picky, and the county lord doesn't have to be so polite." β
Yuan Jinlong laughed and said: "Since this is the case, then I'm not welcome, if you don't mind calling me Uncle Yuan, in fact, there is still something to ask for this time." β
When Gu Fei heard this, he hurriedly said: "Uncle Yuan doesn't have to be polite, if there is anything you can say, the juniors who can do it will never shirk, I am afraid that our mere Qi refining realm will not be able to help you." β
"Alas, I'm afraid that only two people can contribute to this matter now, and you are the only hope for Yong'an County. Yuan Jinlong's expression suddenly darkened, and he said with some loss.
Gu Feiyu was puzzled in his heart, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it related to the state test?"
Yuan Jinlong glanced at him appreciatively, but he didn't expect him to think of it all at once, and said: "That's right, so many people have disappeared inexplicably in this county test, even the people of the Xiuzhen Sect can't find the murderer in a period of time, only six hundred people participate in the state test, it's really very small, and the only chance is on the two Jiuzhang Dao Hearts." β
Hearing his words, Gu Feiyu frowned slightly, and said, "Is the state test really having such a big impact on the ranking of Yong'an County? I heard a clan brother say that the county at the top can get the support of the Xiuzhen Sect, but it doesn't matter if you lose the state test, right?"
Yuan Jinlong sighed, frowned and said: "What you said is good, but the situation in Yong'an County and other counties is a little different, Yong'an County has been ranked in the middle of Yunzhou over the years, and it is actually not bad according to the ranking, but in the recent state tests, both the number and the ranking of our county have been declining, and there has been such an accident this year, if the ranking does not rise but falls, I am afraid that even the only sect that supports us will stop." β
At this time, Su Shujie on the side showed a trace of embarrassment, but his expression was quite indifferent, and said: "Actually, we have always supported Yong'an County, but this kind of thing is decided by the seniors of the sect, and I, as an ordinary disciple, can't interject, and I hope that Yuan Jun will not blame." β
Yuan Jinlong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There is absolutely no such meaning, our county's own strength is too poor, and it is natural for Dan Ge to do this, how dare you blame it, Brother Su is serious!"
Gu Feiyu unconsciously glanced at Su Shujie, it was the Dan Pavilion that Tianxuan Dao Zun recommended him to join, but he didn't expect Su Shujie to be a disciple of the Dan Pavilion.
After saying this, Yuan Jinlong's gaze returned to Gu Feiyu and Bai Feiyan, and said: "Please ask the two of you to help with this favor, the ranking of the two in the state examination is directly related to the fate of Yongan County for hundreds of years in the future, if you fall down, it will be difficult to turn over again." β
Gu Feiyu nodded and said: "The state test is equally important to us, in fact, there is no need for Uncle Yuan to say that we will also try our best to sprint up, now that it is related to the future of dozens of counties in our Yongan County, it is naturally incumbent." β
Seeing that he was full of promises, Yuan Jinlong finally put down a big stone in his heart and showed a relaxed smile.
Gu Feiyu paused and continued: "But we can't guarantee the final result, after all, Yunzhou is so vast, and there are hundreds of counties, among which there are countless geniuses, and we can only do our best in it." β
"I naturally know this, as long as the two of you have this heart. Speaking of this, Yuan Jinlong's gaze fell on Bai Feiyan, looked at her expression, thought for a moment and said, "I take the liberty of asking, I don't know what the relationship between the two is?"
Gu Feiyu was stunned, he didn't expect him to suddenly ask this question, he didn't know how to answer for a while, he glanced at Bai Feiyan, saw that her eyes also fell on him, and finally said: "We are very good friends." β
Hearing this, although Yuan Jinlong nodded, he still had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.
Bai Feiyan smiled and took the initiative to speak: "Actually, we have a marriage contract, and I am his fiancΓ©e. β
"Huh?" Yuan Jinlong and Su Shujie were taken aback at the same time.
Gu Feiyu glanced at her helplessly, she didn't want to announce it, but she didn't expect her to be so resolute. Seeing his gaze, Bai Feiyan smiled sweetly.
Su Shujie said in disbelief: "Two geniuses of the Nine Zhangs Dao Heart not only came from the same place, but also had a marriage contract, what a match made in heaven!"
Yuan Jinlong also accepted this fact for a long time, nodded happily, and said: "It's so good, no wonder the two of you have been so consistent in words and deeds since you entered the door, it turns out that this is the case." As long as the two of you unite in the state test, even the demons who came out of those big counties in Yunzhou can fight. β
Even Su Shujie looked approving, and said, "Actually, there is one more thing I want to tell you today, I don't know what the two of you know about the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land I said before?"
Gu Feiyu and Bai Feiyan shook their heads at the same time, and Gu Feiyu said, "What is so mysterious? I don't think anyone who took the county exam knows about it." β
Su Shujie showed a deep smile and said meaningfully: "Naturally, they don't know, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land has always been only circulating in the cultivation realm, once it appears, a large number of cultivators will always flock to it, this is a rare opportunity, if you are lucky, it is likely that you will step into the level of half-step foundation building!"
