Early in the morning of the second day.

A large group of disciples had gathered outside the door of the Gathering Soul Courtyard, and they were pointing at a small bulletin board.

The bulletin board was full of the results of the mid-term examination of dozens of disciples of the Gathering Spirit Academy, although the old sect had personally informed the results after the test yesterday, but these disciples were already full of curiosity about this bulletin board, because there was one person whose results were not announced yesterday, and that was Xu Chen.

There must be spectators under the so-called fame, and this fame does not need to be a good reputation, as long as everyone is curious about you, even if they are expecting you to make a fool of themselves, this is enough.

At this time, Leng Xue, Lu Jiuyang, and Ximen Wenyu were all standing at the front, but their expressions and expectations were different, Leng Xue, who was dressed in blue, quickly searched for the name of this person, but it was not her own, she looked a little nervous, she didn't know how to describe her mood at this time.

Lu Jiuyang really came to see his achievements, because the drizzle pavilion is really important, if he can enter the drizzle pavilion, it is good, even if he can't enter, then he can proudly say that he once almost entered, that is also a lot of color for himself.

"Why is there still no grade for that kid?"

Ximen Wenyu gritted his teeth and said, he first saw the top from below, and then saw the bottom from above, but he couldn't find a person named Xu Chen, which made him quite annoyed and worried.

Fear can easily turn into anger, Ximen Wenyu is in this situation at this time, he is different from the other two, he has nothing to expect from himself, even if he interrupts the retreat, he does not dare to expect his results to appear above the middle line, but he is now extremely looking forward to seeing Xu Chen's name, because it is related to a bet.

He didn't sleep well at all last night, and he was afraid that Xu Chen's results were really above him, so according to the gambling contract, wouldn't he really want to leave the Dushan Sect?

Leaving the Dushan Sect is actually nothing, with the strength of his father Ximen Wang, he will have a bright future, but at the same time, his father will definitely be furious, and he does not want to understand his father's anger.

"Maybe the result of yesterday's discussion between Jiaoxi and the two masters was ......"

I don't know why, Lu Jiuyang couldn't say anything anymore after saying it, he naturally hoped that Xu Chen would have no results, because, at this time, his results happened to be second, which means that he would compete for the place in the Drizzle Pavilion with Leng Xue, who was in the first place, but he couldn't be happy at this time, and he kept scolding angrily in his heart: "It's all fucking because of him, this unstable element, even his grades are so unstable." ”

At this time, Qi Er walked through the crowd and came to Lu Jiuyang's side, and hugged his arm again, "What's the matter, no one dares to say that Brother Jiuyang is a vase now." ”

As she spoke, Qi Er also pointed to the bulletin board.

Lu Jiuyang smiled slightly bitterly, his heart was still unstable.

At this time, Qi Er let go of his arm again, jumped to Leng Xue's side, and said as if greeting the New Year: "Second Senior Sister!

Who would have thought, Leng Xue was not in a state of excitement or evil, but continued to look at the bulletin board.

"Hey!"

Qi Er's neck straightened, "It's really strange, what's going on with the two of you, it's the first time I've seen such good results......"

Speaking of this, she seemed to understand what was going on, and then, she pouted and said fiercely: "Xu Chen......"

Since Xu Chen came to the Gathering Courtyard, everything has changed, everyone's mood, habits and preferences.

At this time, the culprit was sitting in the house and chatting casually with his close friend, who didn't seem to take these things seriously at all.

However, in fact, all this is an illusion, Xu Chen's heart is very nervous, but he can't show it, first, he can't let those boring spectators talk nonsense, and he doesn't want to let himself fall into irritability for no reason.

Pan An's joy at this time was from the heart, the results of this mid-term exam were his best in the Dushan Sect, there was no need to mention the feast at home last night, what seven aunts and eight aunts, none of them did not say that he had a chance, and those who were originally extremely opposed to Pan An spending money to practice in the Dushan Sect also closed their mouths at this time.

The relatives are fast, the enemies hate, this is the pinnacle of his life. He kept talking about yesterday's events, but Xu Chen on the other side didn't say a word.

I don't know how long it took, but the disciples outside the teaching hall finally walked into the teaching hall one after another, and behind them was a teacher, who had to continue the class today, a boring class.

You know, the Drizzle Pavilion opened three days later, and these disciples are holding back to watch the excitement, how can they still take this boring class.

However, when this class really began, it made the eyes of the people below widen, not because of the change of teaching method or content today, but because of what he said casually.

"I heard that there was a genius in the Gathering Soul Academy, and he actually won a first-class excellence in the term examination, it seems that the Gathering Soul Academy is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, it seems that it will not be able to ...... in the future"

The teacher wanted to say that he couldn't underestimate the Gathering Spirit Academy in the future, but thinking about the fragile hearts of these disciples, he still didn't say it directly in the end.

However, the disciples below didn't care about what Jiao Xi didn't say for a long time, but said in unison in their hearts, "Jiayou, what is this?"

But after a while, they seemed to understand, although they didn't know what Jiayou's results were, but they all looked at Xu Chen behind the teaching house, but they didn't see Xu Chen's expression, because Xu Chen lowered his head, as if he was trying his best to avoid the eyes of those people, and everyone only saw a fat head shaking constantly, as if to say: "My brother is awesome, right?"

The morning class was finally over, and almost no one really listened to anything, but as soon as the bell rang for the end of class, several good people rushed outside, not in a hurry to go home or eat, but went straight to the bulletin board.

As the teacher said, I don't know when, at the bottom of the bulletin board, I don't know when someone filled in a line with a red pen, Xu Chen-A excellent.

Moreover, on the right side of the bulletin board, another announcement appeared, which was the fine rules for the opening of the Drizzle Pavilion in three days, and everyone was not interested in what the rules were, but were quite interested in the names of those who were about to appear.

"Five Dragons: Ning Ning Ning, Hua Fu. Sanqing Yuan: Zhang Youren, Long Feiyu. Gathering Courtyard: Cold snow, Xu Chen. ”

Finally, I would like to add that the above order is not arranged by grade.

Gradually, there were more and more disciples gathered around the bulletin board, and one of them was already in a trance with everything in front of him, he stared at the two dazzling handwritings with red eyes, Xu Chen.

Qi Er came to the side of this angry young man who was almost crazy, she covered her mouth, her face was full of helplessness, as if she was feeling the same pain, she hesitated for a long time, she finally said timidly: "Brother Jiuyang, it's okay, this time ......"

However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Jiuyang threw away his sleeves, he didn't want to be pitied by others, and he didn't want others to comfort him.

Lu Jiuyang walked to the carriage that came to pick him up not far away, and before getting into the car, he looked at the pond in the center of the square with a confused gaze, and he said that the resentful person was sitting there leisurely, "Xu Chen, you won't always be so lucky." ”

After a while, the crowd dispersed, and a fat man hurriedly came to the pond, grinning and said to Xu Chen: "I said, you, you are really first-class excellent, I am really convinced, by the way, the day after tomorrow, you are going to compete for the place in the Drizzle Pavilion, do you want to take this opportunity to drink two." ”

Xu Chen lowered his head, looked at the soil on the ground, and shook his head slowly, "Let's talk about it!"

Naturally, he had already read the announcement, but unlike what he expected, he was not excited, but the pressure rose sharply.

After a while, he raised his head, glanced at Pan An and said, "That, is there a place in the capital that sells swords or something?"

"This ......"

Pan An lowered his head and meditated, but finally said in a curt, "Yes, yes, but it shouldn't be to your liking." ”

The people of the country are still martial, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the control of weapons is very powerful, and the places where swords can be sold are controlled by the government, and the quality is extremely poor, it is difficult to compare with the weapons built by the Shan Sect itself.

In addition, the only place where you can buy knives is a department store, but they only sell kitchen knives and pedicure knives.

In the end, Pan An's eyes suddenly lit up after thinking about it, he directly pulled Xu Chen up, and said in a panic: "I think of a place, there must be a weapon suitable for you, but I can't be sure if the sword is still there, so we have to leave quickly." ”

Before Xu Chen could react, he was pulled by Pan An and walked to a carriage far away.

After getting into the car, the servant said, "Young Master, where are you going to play today!"

When this sentence came out, Pan An's face turned red, "Play! play a fart, go to Nancheng, this is the place where I went to buy a chessboard last time." ”

Hearing the servant's aggrieved words, the carriage started slowly and drove down the mountain.

There was no sound all the way, Xu Chen seemed to have been stuck in a certain thought, unable to extricate himself.

An hour has passed.

The carriage traveled almost halfway through the capital, eventually stopping in front of an antique shop on a street corner.

Xu Chen followed Pan An out of the car, and when he looked up, he saw that this was a very inconspicuous small shop, with an old house number, a broken amount of fraud, and a cold courtyard, so he didn't want business to be prosperous at all.

But Pan An seemed to be very kind to this place, he pulled Xu Chen and walked in, the interior of this small antique shop is extremely finely decorated, and the door face forms a very strong contrast.

As soon as Pan An walked in, a middle-aged man smiled and won, "Oops! Nephew Pan Xian, why is it that I have time to see your Uncle Zhang today?"

"Hey, hey!"

Pan An smiled slightly, "I said Uncle Zhang, don't you want to listen to me honestly, I really didn't come to see you today, I came to see your sword that hasn't been sold for more than a hundred years." ”

Hearing Pan An say this, the boss surnamed Zhang was not angry, but stepped forward and patted Pan An on the shoulder and said, "You stinky boy, you are not like your father at all, just this mouth, it is more than that!"

"Hey, hey, thank you, Uncle Zhang, for the compliment. ”

Saying that, Boss Zhang welcomed Pan An and Xu Chen to the inner hall, leaving a guy outside to take care of them.

The three of them sat down, Pan An briefly introduced Xu Chen, and then said what he meant.

Boss Zhang said leisurely: "Virtuous nephew, to be honest, that ancient sword is still there, but you are not an outsider, and you also know my relationship with your father, so I have to tell you the truth, that sword, in fact, only the scabbard is real, and that sword is a second-hand product that I have later." ”

Just as Pan An wanted to sigh, Boss Zhang spoke again, "But, I know where that sword is, although I don't know what to cultivate or not, but it's definitely a good sword!"
