Although they had long heard that the monk's magic skills were wonderful, when they saw the escape method with their own eyes, a group of young people were still dazzled. They were horrified when they saw the white official robes embroidered with star patterns.
"Greetings to the Lord Prisoner!" Shi Jilun cleverly handed over his hand, and the other people reacted and saluted one after another, wondering in their hearts: I never heard that releasing the results would attract the Lord Prisoner to come.
Li Guofeng frowned and repeated again: "Where is Ji Ping'an?"
At this time, the ministers recovered from the shock and became more and more surprised. One person said: "I went back after the exam and said I was hungry..."
When Li Guofeng heard this, his official robes fluttered and turned into a golden stream of light and fled in the direction of Qinglian Xiaozhu.
A group of boys and girls were left looking at each other, not understanding what was happening.
"Could it be that the Lord Supervisor is looking for Brother Ji to ask about the Imperial Master?" After a moment of silence, someone thought.
This statement immediately caused everyone to nod. In their opinion, this was the most reasonable speculation. Otherwise, what else could it be? It’s never a test.
"Speaking of which, it's been so long and the list hasn't come out yet?" Junior Sister Wang frowned.
According to the news she learned, it wouldn't take long. Thinking that maybe the examination was slower, or as Brother Jian said, the administrators of the fifth academy were competing for it... so she waited patiently.
After a long time, an old Si Li finally came striding up from a distance with a large roll of paper under his arm.
Ignoring the group of young people, Lao Sili pasted the list on the wall. Suddenly, eyes gathered one after another, and everyone began to look for their own name.
Xue Hongjian had a confident smile on his face and looked directly at the top position. However, he was stunned very quickly, as if his brain had been hit by a heavy hammer and he felt dizzy.
"Junior sister Wang, please help me see who is number one?"
The rest of the people looked at the first one one after another, and then they all turned to stone. The five words "Ji Ping'an (A)" at the top were so dazzling.
"How can it be?!"
…
…
Qinglian Xiaozhu.
After Ji Ping'an came back, he unloaded the heavy book box, changed his clothes, washed off the sticky sweat on his body, and then returned to the courtyard to sit down and wait for Huang He, who was preparing lunch, to return.
He was not worried about the results of the monthly exam. Even though he only answered the last question, he believed it was weighty enough.
Everything is advancing according to his calculations. Exposing his accumulation in astronomy can pave the way for participating in the "God's Capital Grand Prize" without attracting too much attention from the outside world.
No one would have thought that while everyone else was trying their best to show off and attract the attention of big shots, Ji Ping'an's headache was how to reasonably become a relatively ordinary genius.
"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door. Ji Ping'an raised his eyes and said, "Come in." Immediately, a slightly thin young man wearing the same azure robe walked in.
"Have you eaten, Senior Brother Jian?" Ji Pingan smiled warmly.
Jian Zhuang stared at him with extremely complex eyes, as if he wanted to see through him. The breeze blew through the courtyard, and the koi fish jumped up in the lake, creating golden ripples.
The green Hsinchu rustling, the red peach blossoms swaying like clouds, the whole building is full of elegance and tranquility.
Jian Zhuang suddenly realized that he had never really seen this courtyard clearly, just like he had never seen the person in front of him clearly.
He was silent for a moment and lowered his head in shame: "What I said last time...don't take it to your heart..."
Xu lacked similar experience in apologizing. His face burned and he stuttered: "I was wrong."
Ji Ping'an smiled at the corners of his eyes: "It's not your fault."
If this scene was seen by outsiders, it would definitely become news in the prison. Who would have thought that Jian Zhuang, who was ranked among the top ten in the ranking, would actually apologize to a new student.
And the other party actually accepted it happily... But neither party in the incident felt there was any problem.
Jian Zhuang did not connect Ji Ping'an with the seniors in the library because it was too unbelievable, but just by relying on the solution to that big question, he was ashamed of himself in the knowledge of astronomy and astrology.
"How could you..." Jian Zhuang was about to ask when he suddenly noticed that Ji Ping'an's eyes passed over him and looked behind him.
A white official robe floated into the small courtyard, followed by five black-clothed officials who arrived.
"You are Ji Ping'an."
Li Guofeng's eyes condensed, and the overwhelming spiritual consciousness swept across the sky like a furious wave, but under the cover of the power of "Taiyin", he did not find anything abnormal.
Ji Ping'an's expression was calm, as if he was not aware of the consciousness that was exploring him, and there was only a little emotion in his eyes.
I didn't expect that I would see this disciple again in this way.
Yes, the five current Jianhou are all disciples of the Imperial Master, including the Qintian Jianzheng who is in seclusion.
Facing Ji Ping'an's gentle gaze, Li Guofeng suddenly felt a strange emotion, as if the young man was overlooking and examining himself.
Overlook?
Review?
Are you kidding... Li Guofeng put aside this strange thought, and when he looked again, he found that Ji Ping'an had lowered his head and handed over his hands: "I have seen the prisoner."
It was indeed an illusion... Li Guofeng nodded, rolled up his robe sleeves, and threw out the exam paper. Starlight appeared in his eyes: "Did you do this?"
"yes."
After a moment of silence, Li Guofeng moved his lips, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and said, "Very good."
Jian Zhuang, who was standing aside, was surprised, so it was indeed his master who had made a mistake in the question, and the conclusion was finalized.
The five late arrivals were not surprising. From the moment the prisoner gave the "First Class" comment, there was no suspense.
Still incredible though.
"Where did you learn this?" Li Guofeng asked curiously.
"In the past, when I accompanied the Imperial Master, this was the content of his lectures." Ji Ping'an took out his manuscript, thought about it, and added: "He said that I learned very quickly."
silence.
So... the truth of the matter is that a few years before the death of the Imperial Master, he taught astronomy and astrology in that small town in Leizhou, and the reason why he recommended this young man was because of his intellectual talent?
I felt sleepy and fell asleep in class because the content explained was too childish and simple.
Everything has a reasonable explanation. Although it is still a bit abnormal, since it is taught by a national teacher, it is expected that he will be very knowledgeable.
However, just when everyone thought that Li Guofeng would praise him, the prisoner, who was always known for his strictness, suddenly changed his tone:
"Are you very proud? You think you have mastered it, so you don't bother to listen. It's great to find loopholes in the questions in the exam and strike back sharply, making everyone look at you?"
The painting style changed too quickly, like a tornado, blowing away Jian Zhuang and others...
Li Guofeng said:
"I am also young, so I know very well what you are thinking at this age. You always want to be a blockbuster, be praised by your classmates and teachers, and feel proud, but in my opinion, it is really childish."
The five ministers looked at each other in confusion, wondering whether Li Jianhou was angry because he was wrongly picked?
Of course not, to be able to become a prisoner, you still have this kind of ambition... Yes, prisoner Li is rigorous in his studies, and the reason why he personally asked the questions was to pour cold water on the astronomy students and make them guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
So, is this going to be beaten?
Li Guofeng sighed:
"In the Star Official Path, deep knowledge and learning are of great help, but without cultivation, everything is empty talk. I heard that you are still not enlightened. Since you have enough knowledge, you should put all your mind on cultivation and strive to resonate with Qiyao as soon as possible. It’s not a waste of time in class, you have to think clearly about which is more important.”
This is the earnest teaching.
Ji Ping'an lowered his eyes, no one saw the strange emotion in his eyes, and thought:
This set of carrot and stick beating methods seems to have been used by me on the other party back then.
…
a hundred years ago.
Under the cover of night, in the pavilion, Li Guofeng, who looked like a young man, was kneeling on the ground, with his two little hands spread out and raised, and they were beaten red by a pointer.
But the young man bit his lip stubbornly and remained silent, with a huge dissatisfaction written on his small face.
"Are you very proud? You think you have mastered it, so you don't bother to listen..." Grand Master Zhou sat cross-legged, with long black and white hair disheveled, holding a pointer in his hand and saying sarcastically:
"As a teacher, I am also young. I understand that your thoughts at your age...are really childish."
Young Li Guofeng lowered his head and rubbed his neck, his neck turned red from the humiliation.
The Imperial Master suddenly sighed and said in a tone that said, "The path to Star Official... you have to think clearly about it yourself."
As he said this, the old master seemed to have lost interest and recalled his past youth. He dropped his pointer and sighed in disappointment.
…
So, the next step is... sigh... Ji Ping'an counts one, two, three silently.
In the small courtyard, Li Guofeng suddenly sighed with disappointment, as if his mood was waning, recalling his past youth.
...There are no new ideas after all...
"Let's go." Li Guofeng waved his sleeves and was about to leave. He didn't forget that there was a guest waiting in the tea room.
However, at this moment, brisk footsteps came from outside the small courtyard, and then, a figure wearing a dusty boy's robe and carrying a food box walked in:
"Sir, the tofu you asked for is gone..."
Huang He's voice was stagnant, and he was a little stunned when he looked at the scene in the courtyard. At the same time, Li Guofeng, who was about to leave, subconsciously swept his mind and stopped immediately.
A strange light suddenly lit up in his eyes.
"You...come closer and let me take a look."
He stared at Huang He, as if he had seen something interesting.
