This was the first time Huang Shang met Chen Shouyi.
To Huang Sang's expectation, this legendary figure who was once named on the gold medal list, but abandoned literature and embraced martial arts, and finally achieved great military success, actually looked quite young. A simple Tsing Yi suit matched his elegant and handsome face. , but it gives him a kind of Confucian and handsome temperament.
In addition, his face was also full of a warm and friendly smile. There was no trace of the majesty and solemnity of a high-ranking person. Instead, it was more like what he said. At this moment, his identity was just the "senior brother" of these scholars. Same.
Seeing Chen Shouyi's approachable appearance, the scholars who were still a little nervous all relaxed a little.
Only Huang Shang's pupils shrank slightly at this moment.
He could clearly feel the powerful aura exuding from the city lord. The feeling this person gave him was far more dangerous than the inspiration he had that day.
And despite Chen Shouyi's smiling face and approachable appearance, his eyes were full of brilliance. As he walked toward them step by step, he was also scrutinizing and observing them. His wise eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Faced with such gazes, many scholars trembled slightly in their hearts, and some even dared not look directly at them.
Fortunately, Huang Shang has extremely rich experience. He has experienced countless scenes bigger than this and beings more powerful than Chen Shouyi. Therefore, facing Chen Shouyi's gaze at this moment, he did not show any flaws. Instead, he talked to other scholars. He also acted slightly restrained but secretly excited.
"Lord City Lord!"
Seeing Chen Shouyi's arrival, Senior Brother Wen also stepped forward to greet him with a slightly nervous expression.
"As I said, just call me Senior Brother."
Looking at Senior Brother Wen's slightly restrained look, Chen Shouyi smiled slightly, patted Senior Brother Wen on the shoulder, and said, "I remember that in the early years you were brought to see me by the dean, just like them. To think that after not seeing each other for a few years, you are actually leading the team. You are a good boy and you are making great progress."
Speaking of this, Chen Shouyi suddenly laughed and said: "But don't lead these boys into bad shape, let alone run to Wenxiang Tower all day long like you did back then. They are not yet adults, so they can't be obsessed with the fireworks all day long. In the alley, otherwise if the dean finds out, you will be punished again!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Hearing Chen Shouyi mention the past events, Senior Brother Wen also blushed and coughed a few times to relieve the embarrassment, but at the same time, most of the tension and restraint in his heart were dissipated.
"Hahaha, you are still blushing at your age."
Seeing Senior Brother Wen blushing, Chen Shouyi laughed again, and then said to all the scholars including Huang Shang: "Okay, no more joking, since the dean asked you to come to participate in the training every three years, it must be I have recognized your character and talents, but you must know that if you want to get ahead in this world, whether you are in the military, politics, or wandering around in the world, you cannot do it just by relying on your character, talents, and knowledge. In addition to these two things, there is another thing that is more important, and that is to learn how to behave."
Speaking of this, Chen Shouyi paused slightly, and then continued: "Taian City is one of the three major cities in our Kingdom of Darkness. It is extremely prosperous. At the same time, it is close to the Kingdom of Yan. You can see more customs and customs, but the situation is also getting worse. It's complicated. The dean agreed to choose this place as your training place, not only because I am the city lord here and can take care of you, but also because the dragons and snakes here are mixed together, which can help you broaden your horizons and allow you to Grow up faster. But I have something to tell you. When you come here, you represent the face of Ink Academy and me, so I can allow you to make mistakes. After all, young people will make mistakes, but I will never allow you to do it. It’s a matter of exposing the face of Shui Mo Academy. If I know that someone is taking advantage of the prestige of me and the academy to act recklessly, then I will definitely not let him off lightly, do you hear me?”
"Yes, Lord City Lord!"
After hearing Chen Shouyi's words, all the scholars' expressions condensed and they immediately agreed in unison.
"I told you not to call me City Lord, call me Senior Brother!"
Seeing the nervous expressions of the scholars, Chen Shouyi smiled again and said, "Okay, don't be nervous. As long as you don't act recklessly, no one in this city can bully you. You can completely regard this as a crime." Your home.”
Afterwards, Chen Shouyi thought for a while and continued: "By the way, one more thing. You are lucky. The fire lotus that blooms once every thirty years will soon be mature. By then, we will have the Kingdom of Darkness, the Kingdom of Yan, and the Kingdom of Water. They will send outstanding disciples under the age of twenty to fight for the fire lotus. Even if they cannot get the complete lotus, they will still have to fight for some lotus seeds and lotus roots, which are rare treasures of cultivation. Senior brother, I have included you in the list. , then if you are willing, you can give it a try, and I will say hello to the competitors in the two countries and ask them to be as merciful to you as possible."
"but!"
But the next moment, Chen Shouyi's expression turned solemn and he said, "I must tell you that the fight for the Fire Lotus is not just a game. Over the past few hundred years, although it has not been as fierce as before, the three major kingdoms have The relationship has also eased, but after all, it is related to the cultivation resources and the face of the three major countries, so there will definitely be a certain danger at that time, and my face, senior brother, may not be so easy to use. So if you really want to participate in this Fire Lotus If you fight for it, you must be mentally prepared, you may be injured, even disabled, or even die!"
"So if any of you don't want to go, senior brother can understand you."
"Of course, you don't have to make a decision in a hurry. The battle for the Fire Lotus will be in ten days. Before that, I can agree to give up my senior brother at any time. But once you decide to participate, when the battle begins, no matter it For yourselves, for the sake of the academy and my senior brother, and even for the national prestige of the Kingdom of Darkness, you must not be cowardly or flinching at all, otherwise senior brother, I will be the first to spare you, do you understand?"
When he said the last words, the smile on Chen Shouyi's face had completely disappeared, and his expression was extremely serious. He was obviously not joking with these people.
"Yes, senior brother!"
After hearing Chen Shouyi's words, nervous and excited expressions appeared on the faces of all the scholars.
They had already known about the fight for the Fire Lotus before they came, and naturally they would not give up on this opportunity easily. After all, sixty years ago, Senior Brother Wen won the competition for the Fire Lotus with his extraordinary strength. , and then he had enough capital to leap thousands of miles!
Faced with such a legendary figure and opportunity, how could they miss it!
Only Huang Shang frowned slightly at this moment.
