The people in Wenjiang Pavilion were a little stunned by the sudden rush in, and only recovered after hearing him speak. Nangong Yu frowned and said, "Lord, pay attention to your appearance." ”

Ning Caichen realized that he was a little impatient, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, do you know that Li Yuantong is one of the three thousand disciples in the academy, what a rare opportunity for us to come to me this time?"

Hearing the words "academy" and "three thousand disciples", the five people in the room changed color slightly, and Zhuge Hanxing spoke: "That piece of jade is now placed in your study, you can go over now." ”

Ning Caichen glanced at him appreciatively, stood up, and quickly came to the study, where he found the palm-sized, pure white jade block on the table.

Reaching out to pick up this piece of jade, Ning Caichen's heart trembled slightly, and a feeling of standing on the node of fate suddenly appeared. After froze for a long time, he took a deep breath, and between the violent movements of his true qi, he completely crushed the jade.

At the moment when the jade was shattered, in Jinhua City, under an old locust tree, a middle-aged scholar who was playing chess with an ordinary old man, Huo Ran raised his head and said softly: "Uncle, I admit defeat in this game." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, and his figure disappeared like a blue light.

"Brother Caichen, long time no see. Without letting Ning Caichen wait long, Li Yuantong, dressed in green clothes, appeared in the study.

"I've seen Brother Li. Ning Caichen stood up from his seat and bowed his hands.

Li Yuantong smiled mildly and said, "No need to be polite, do you know why I came this time?"

"Presumably because the scholar has taken Jinhua and divided one side. Ning Caichen paused and spoke.

Li Yuantong nodded and said, "Originally, I wanted to introduce you to the academy, but unexpectedly, you chose this path." ”

Ning Caichen was shocked in his heart and said, "Brother Li should understand that I am not the kind of person who covets a position of power. ”

"It's because I understand that I don't understand it. Li Yuantong spoke: "The fame, fortune, power, and money in the mundane world are like passing dust to us, and they are not worth mentioning at all, why do you want to participate in the mundane struggle for hegemony?"

Ning Caichen knew that with the other party's question, he had already been forced to a fork in the road. Either hide the fact of his dragon spirit, disappoint the other party, and lose the opportunity for the academy selection, or reveal a trace of secret, in exchange for the other party's sincere support.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Yuantong did not press forward step by step, and stood quietly in place, waiting for his answer.

"Brother Li, I once received the inheritance of an ancient power, and I was able to use the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi to cultivate. This division of one side and the struggle for domination of the world is all for me to serve my cultivation. After a long silence, Ning Caichen said softly.

"The inheritance of the ancient power?" Li Yuantong lost his voice, his face full of shock: "How is this possible, how can the inheritance of the ancient power be left to this day?"

"Believe it or not, that's the way it is, you see. Ning Caichen concealed the Great Illusion Necklace's concealment of the human emperor's dragon qi and pointed to the top of his head.

Li Yuantong also has that method of looking at qi, and when he looked up when he heard the words, he saw that the dragon goldfish had wide eyes and looked at him blankly.

"The dragon goldfish has grown so big. Li Yuantong lost his voice again, feeling that he was already a little numb from being shocked.

Ning Caichen re-covered the Shanghua Dragon Goldfish and said, "Now you understand, why did I participate in the troubled waters of the mortal world? If you want to fully accept that powerful inheritance, you need to establish a country...... I hope to have the support of the school, and I look forward to joining the big family of the school. ”

"The inheritance of the ancient powers, you are really blessed. Li Yuantong's eyes were full of envy, and he took a deep breath: "Don't worry, if nothing else, just because of this ancient inheritance, you will definitely be able to become a disciple of the academy, and then you can go through the motions." ”

Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Then don't I belong to the internal determination?"

"Why not?" Li Yuantong said with a smile: "You don't need to talk about the academy, just say that the rest of the immortal sect forces, as long as they know that you are carrying the ancient inheritance, they will either pick you up and find out the inheritance." Either that, or you'll have to be put in the door wall to provide you with maximum convenience. ”

Ning Caichen bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you Brother Li for your help." ”

Li Yuantong waved his hand and hesitated for a moment: "Do you remember what I told you last time, in the academy, they support each other and form an alliance?"

"Remember, Brother Li said this for?"

"It's not a faction, but there are still different forces in the academy. The soul of these forces is the eighteen great Confucians. The great Confucians ignore the disputes over rights and secular disputes, but under the great Confucianism, there are still people who care about this matter. In addition to our lineage, many other lineages have chosen one side of the princes, and after the country is stable again, they will realize their ideals by virtue of the dragon's work. ”

Ning Caichen pursed his lips: "Then Brother Li, your lineage, are you willing to choose me?"

Li Yuantong didn't expect him to be so direct, and after being slightly stunned, he smiled and said, "Of course, I came here this time to inspect you." Now that you know your reasons for chasing the deer, there is no reason to choose someone else. ”

Ning Caichen smiled and said, "Until this moment, I can completely put my mind at ease." From now on, I can claim to be the orthodox identity of the Academy, right?"

"Although you haven't entered the hall yet, with the special status of a prince, you can do it. Li Yuantong said.

Ning Caichen bowed his head and suddenly asked, "When is the enrollment of the academy?"

"At the end of December, the first three days of the new year. Li Yuantong said with a smile: "The three-day selection time, whether it is passed or not, after the selection is over, it will be a new year and a new chapter." ”

"The choice of this time period really has a meaning. Ning Caichen smiled.

Li Yuantong opened his mouth and said: "Let's end the battle for hegemony as soon as possible, it's just the position of an emperor in the world, and no monk is willing to show up to fight, so you shouldn't encounter any major obstacles." If there are really some monks who are fascinated by power and want to trouble you, you can tell the academy that the first law is just talking. ”

Ning Caichen thanked him.

"I've said all that I need to say, and I've got the answers I want, it's time to leave. Li Yuantong looked into his eyes and said seriously: "At the end of December, I will come to you again and take you to the academy headquarters to take the entrance exam for the academy." ”

Ning Caichen sent him all the way to the door, and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for that day to come, Brother Li, see you at the end of December." ”
