As a bell rang, the whole morning class of the Gathering Courtyard finally ended.

Since the course of the Dushan Sect was a half-day system, and the afternoon was free time, most of the disciples rushed out of the door in a hurry.

Some of them were in a hurry to return to the capital to have a good time, some were anxious to go to the dining hall to line up for dinner, and of course, there were also a few diligent disciples who were ready to find a quiet place to cultivate.

Everyone knew what they should do next, so no one would pay attention to the bamboo sea not far away, the pond, and Xu Chen, who was sitting by the pond and looking at the golden carp stupidly.

"Hey, what are you doing? What's so nice about this fish, you don't want to satisfy your hunger with this fish, do you?"

I don't know when, that fat Pan An appeared next to Xu Chen.

Maybe Xu Chen was too focused, or maybe he was in a bad mood, Xu Chen didn't answer, and he didn't even raise his head.

When Pan An saw this situation, he couldn't help but pursed his lips like a sausage, and said with a slight teasing: "Hey! You can't think about it because the teaching has driven you out, and you want to find a short view, right? I can tell you, this place is too shallow to drown people at all, if you want to kill yourself, you might as well choose to jump off the cliff." ”

Saying that, Pan An didn't care whether Xu Chen looked at himself or not, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of due west, and said seriously: "That! And there ......"

"Alright! you're really comforting. ”

Xu Chen whispered helplessly, but he kept looking at the golden carp in the pond and still didn't raise his head.

Pan An thought that Xu Chen was blaming himself, blaming himself for turning back to talk to him and making Jiao Xi angry, so he sat down beside Xu Chen with some shame, and said leisurely: "Hey, actually, I didn't mean to, and didn't I think what you said made sense at the time?"

"Oh, oh! I didn't blame you?"

Xu Chen glanced at Pan An with a smile, very sincere, but there seemed to be no look in his eyes.

He guessed that the old man who came to the pool to guide him before should be Lin Lingsu, but what the other party said was difficult to understand. At first, Xu Chen thought it was some boring sophistry, but later he felt that it seemed to be some kind of spiritual method, but in the end, it was difficult for him to really understand those remarks.

Therefore, after Lin Lingsu left, Xu Chen stayed by the pond, looking at the golden carp, hoping to get some inspiration from the fish.

Seeing Xu Chen's slightly distracted expression, Pan An patted Xu Chen's shoulder hard, and said deliberately excitedly: "Since you don't care, then what are you doing sitting here? I owe you a favor for today's matter, let's go! I'll take you to the capital to be happy and happy, I'll treat you! Save you from being here with this fish with big eyes and small eyes, you can't look stupid for a long time." ”

In the face of Pan An's kind invitation, Xu Chen was unmoved, although he had a good impression of Pan An, at least much better than those other disciples. However, he is still used to being a person in his bones, which has a lot to do with his experience.

After a while, Xu Chen asked leisurely, "What's going on with the mid-term exam?"

"Oh?"

Pan An was slightly surprised, he looked at Xu Chen with a strange look and said, "How do you know that there is a mid-term exam? This is what you said after you left the teaching house." ”

Suddenly, Pan An let out another sigh, as if he had guessed something, pushed Xu Chen hard, and whispered in Xu Chen's ear: "You climbed the window root, right?"

Xu Chen smiled bitterly and was speechless, and after a while, he exclaimed extremely strangely: "You are really quite imaginative." ”

"Hey, hey!"

Pan An knew that the other party was mocking him, so he scratched his huge head embarrassedly and smirked: "Hehe! Thank you for the compliment." ”

Facing the shameless Pan An, Xu Chen laughed angrily and asked again, "What's going on with that exam?"

"This exam...... How so?"

Pan An suddenly seemed to be a different person, brushing the beard that didn't exist at all on his chin, and pretending to be old-fashioned: "To put it simply, it is to test how well the disciples practice during this period of time, usually twice a year. Naturally, it is very ordinary for us to deal with the Mountain Sect, but it is extremely important for us personally, especially if we are not very good at cultivating like this. ”

While speaking, Pan An was still nodding slowly, making people look very serious.

His few words actually put Xu Chen and himself on the same level, but Xu Chen didn't care, but asked, "Why is it more important for those who are not good at cultivation?"

"Hey, you don't know, do you?"

Pan An excitedly shook his fat big buttocks, looking extremely excited.

He is a typical naughty and mischievous goods, and his cultivation is really not very good, and it was his father who spent a lot of money to enter the Dushan Sect in the first place. So since then, he has been more determined that there are no absolutely pure people in this world, and those gentlemen who seem to be upright and serious are just good disguises. Even these great cultivators of the Dushan Sect will collect money, so who else will not be knocked down by money?

Therefore, when he saw that Xu Chen dared to argue with the teacher in class, he had a good impression of Xu Chen, and he thought that Xu Chen was an undisguised person, a person who dared to admit his low-level taste, and a person who was as naughty as himself.

The more Pan An thought about it, the happier he became, as if he had found a confidant, he excitedly picked up a stone by the pool, and threw it straight towards the golden carp, the golden carp felt dangerous, and dodged in a panic, making Pan An smile excitedly, "Tell you! The strength of the Dushan Sect is not as good as before, so in order to improve the enthusiasm of the disciples to practice, after each term exam, the one with the worst grades in the three academies will be expelled from the Dushan Sect, so yes, you are in danger!

"Oh! ”

Xu Chen nodded, and then asked rhetorically, "Then why do you say that I am in danger?"

Pan An glanced at Xu Chen disdainfully, and said softly: "Yes! I must admit that you may have a very [back] scene, but this rule is set up by the head of the house, to be precise, it is the acting head of the house, that is, the old man surnamed Lin, even if he himself can't change it at will, understand? If he changes, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? So, I'm afraid you have a [back] scene, I'm afraid it's ......."

Saying that, Pan An shook his head helplessly, looking extremely regretful, as if Xu Chen had been expelled from the Dushan Sect at this time.

Xu Chen glanced at Pan An with a wry smile, he found that every word he said could make the other party understand and say goodbye, so he simply didn't explain anything, but continued to ask: "What are the exams in that exam?

"This time you're smart, it's really a battle!"

Pan An was so excited that he foamed at the stars, he wiped his fat lips casually, and said matter-of-factly: "However, it is a battle with the teacher, and then the teacher will give a score." Of course, I have to tell you a very serious problem, the battle is not random, but two or three teachers are in charge of a college, and each term exam will be rotated once, and this time, the teacher in charge of the term examination of the Gathering Spirit Academy has the Huang sect you offended, so ......"

He didn't directly say what was possible, but Xu Chen understood and said, "Do you think that Huang Jiaoxi may deliberately embarrass me?"

Pan An shook his head and said firmly: "It's not possible, but it must be! These paranoid weird old men, which one is not stubborn to the extreme, if you think that they represent justice, fairness, and openness! Then you are too naïve." ”

As he spoke, he patted his chest and said, "Don't you know if you look at me?" I'm different from their bullshit eunuchs, I have self-knowledge, if it's about eating, drinking, and having fun, then I'm definitely one of the best in the Mountain Sect, but if you want to talk about this cultivation, then I'm definitely the worst, not one of them. But why have I been able to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai Sect in the Dushan Sect, do you know why?"

According to Xu Chen's understanding of Pan An's logic, he thought of silver, also thought of relationships, and even thought of shamelessness, but he didn't expect that Pan An said proudly: "Because every time there is one for me to back, Lao Tzu is the second in a thousand years, although it is countdown, but this is enough, you know?"

"I've never offended the teachings, even if I do occasionally, I immediately admit my mistakes and pretend to be a bear, this is art, do you know? Shamelessness is also an art, I believe you have seen this in the teaching house, so I will not talk to you in detail. ”

At this time, Pan An's smug expression and the extremely aggrieved look when he was in the teaching house were like two people, and after savoring it, Xu Chen couldn't help but smile and nodded with "admiration".

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

Pan An looked at Xu Chen and said with a little annoyance: "But you are miserable, you said that you just came to the Dushan Sect, and you will definitely not be able to cultivate, I'm afraid you haven't even entered the door." This time you have offended the teachings again, alas!"

As he spoke, Pan An sighed again, but after a while, he looked at Xu Chen with a little excitement and said, "I said, are you sent by God to help?"

Xu Chen looked at Pan An's narrowed eyes, thought for a while, and said puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

Pan An slapped his thigh suddenly, as if he had solved a thousand-year-old mystery, and said firmly: "Surely it must be! Look! Before every mid-term exam, there will always be an unlucky guy like you, who offended a certain teacher, so that I was given a very poor score in the mid-term exam, and then I deserved to be the penultimate one." And this time, as far as I know, that unlucky guy hasn't appeared yet, you say, could it be that God deliberately arranged for you to successfully enter the Dushan Sect, and then use you to keep me here?"

Xu Chen naturally scoffed at this kind of fatalism, and just wanted to say something, but he didn't expect Pan An to continue very seriously: "And God is afraid that you will not be able to complete this task, so I deliberately let you come in at an incorrect time, so that your cultivation is almost zero, and let you offend the teaching if you owe it, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

The more Pan An spoke, the more excited he became, and he suddenly clasped his palms together, looked up at the sky, and said very reverently: "God, you are so good to me, better than my father is to me." You bothered, this time it made you embarrassed to such an extent, the disciples in the sect did not cooperate, so you deliberately found an unlucky ...... A brother is here to help me survive this catastrophe, oh my God, you have worked hard!"
