Su Chen chose an inconspicuous place to land outside Lingyun City. This test flight made him very satisfied. After all, it was a success.
But he didn't know that the way he stepped on the spear and flew in the air was seen by mortals, and he didn't know that the legend about him had spread.
His eyes swept across the black body of the spear, and finally stopped at the silver-white tip. Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "The silver light of the cold spear breaks through the air. Let me call you Xingguang!"
Su Chen shook the starlight and put it into the storage bracelet.
Then he entered the city.
…
Huang Mansion.
study.
Huang Pengcheng stood in front of the desk, with his left hand behind his back and his right hand holding a brush dipped in ink. A piece of white paper was spread out on the desk.
"call…"
After he adjusted his breathing, he suddenly started writing. His pen was like a dragon and snake, and his pen and ink were concentrated. His meaning was like a mountain. Looking at it, he only felt a sense of oppression.
Just as Huang Pengcheng finished writing a word and was admiring it with his hands behind his hands, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Huang Pengcheng said directly without raising his head.
I saw two big words written on the paper, "magnanimous".
"In everything, if you have no regrets in your heart, you will be as magnanimous as a hammer."
Then, he looked up at Wu Shi who walked into the study and said, "Are you done?"
"yes."
Wu Shi nodded, still looking expressionless, "There are five people involved in this matter, all of whom are merchants from Shacheng, Xiangjun."
"The arrangements have been made, little one. If you stay away for seven days, there will be results."
Huang Pengcheng narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
"Seven days?"
"slow."
Wu Shi quickly said: "Of those five families, four are engaged in cloth shops, bank accounts, grain shops, and salt shops. They all control the lives of the people."
"Seven days is already an amazing speed!"
After a pause, Wu Shi added: "Speaking of which, Master Gale is the one who pulls the strings for them to be able to run this business."
When Huang Pengcheng heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "Ji'an, you are really my good nephew!"
"Being fooled by a few weaklings, the younger generation of the Huang family is getting worse and worse!"
At the end of the sentence, Huang Pengcheng sighed, and then shook his head. What would happen to the Huang family was beyond his control.
He asked again, "What do you think of the situation in the Huang family?"
When Wu Shi heard this, he knelt down directly and said, "You have a humble status, how dare you speak unreasonably about your master's family!"
Huang Pengcheng looked at him with meaningful eyes, "Get up, I'm just asking, there's no need for such a big reaction."
"The little one...can't help it..."
Wu Shi stood up and lowered his head.
"Go check one more thing."
Huang Pengcheng glanced at him again and said, "Go and investigate again. Who is the name of the young man who lives with Huang Qiaoqian? Everything is detailed."
"We must investigate clearly!"
Wu Shi was stunned for a moment and said respectfully: "Yes!"
Seeing people leaving the study, Huang Pengcheng curled up his lips and murmured: "It depends on you whether things can become interesting..."
…
In the next few days, until school started, everything was calm, as if symbolizing the coming storm.
As the school year approaches, people who have returned home during the holidays have also returned, and the quiet school has become lively and noisy.
Managers from all walks of life gathered together in one place, a long table with more than a dozen people sitting there. Young or old, everyone exudes a calm temperament at this time.
More than a dozen people all looked at the hunched figure above the main seat.
He Buyu sat down on the soft chair specially prepared for him and slowly said: "Everyone is here, let's start."
After the words fell, the first person on the left stood up, a middle-aged man in red clothes.
"A total of 137 freshmen were admitted this year, and 20 of them failed to arrive in time and were eliminated."
After speaking, the man in red looked at He Buyu and said, "Dean, there are one hundred and seventeen people left. According to previous years' practice, when the freshman meeting is held, the tutor selects the students."
"Will it continue this year?"
He Buyu shrank his body and said slightly tiredly: "You just have to figure it out."
After a pause, regardless of the surprised looks from everyone, he continued: "I'm tired. You guys can discuss it separately. I'll tell you if it's inappropriate."
Everyone looked surprised for a moment. After all, the deans in previous years were basically dictatorial, and they rarely made decisions on matters.
This year, the dean is delegating power, but they feel a sense of desolation. Is that powerful figure in the scene now approaching his twilight years...
However, this does not affect their discussion. Everyone performs their own duties and is in charge of the operation of Lingyun Academy and even the entire Lingyun City.
In the past, under He Buyu's dictatorship, they only had to report on their work, but now it's finally time for them to play their part.
Listening to the fierce arguments and discussions, He Buyu felt his consciousness getting heavier and heavier, as if he was really tired.
"It's time to let go and take a good rest..."
After a heated discussion, everyone decided that instead of tutors selecting students in the past, students would select tutors.
Understand each other, and students will know which instructor is more suitable for them if they get to know their instructors. At the same time, students must prove themselves to their instructors.
"That's it, tomorrow we will follow today's agenda."
The man in red looked around and confirmed that no one had any objections before making a decision.
"correct."
The person in charge of the transactions in the city was a woman. She seemed to remember something and said, "In recent days, a pill called Healing Pill has suddenly become popular in the city. It is said to be able to cure any injury."
As she spoke, her eyes deliberately turned to He Buyu, and others couldn't help but look. They all knew that the dean was ill. If the healing pill was effective, it should also be effective for the dean.
But under the gaze of everyone, He Buyu didn't react at all. The man in red looked over and looked a little strange, "The dean is asleep."
Hearing this, the conference room suddenly fell silent, and he didn't even dare to make a sound.
"Let's disperse first."
In the end, it was the man in red who spoke.
The others then dispersed.
…
Immediately afterwards, a message was conveyed to every new student quickly and accurately.
"Notice that a freshmen meeting will be held tomorrow. Tutors will be assigned at this meeting, and a ranking battle among freshmen will begin. Those with outstanding results will be rewarded with Lingyun coins!"
At this moment, the freshman dormitory was abuzz, not only because of the freshman meeting, but also because of the most important sentence, "Lingyun Coin Reward"!
Although there is room for two people in the freshmen dormitory, with the luggage they brought, there is no space at all, and it is even difficult to move your feet!
After knowing the rules of the school, they were thinking about how to earn enough Lingyun coins and then change their place of residence!
Now it's better. When drowsiness comes, the school will give you pillows.
One by one, they began to recharge their batteries and prepare for tomorrow’s freshman ranking competition.
Also very surprised were a group of old students. Didn't their tutors select candidates in the past? Why is it the other way around now? There are also ranked battles to give out rewards!
This was completely non-existent before!
What happened this year?
Many old students have decided to go and see whatever they want tomorrow...
Su Chen and Huang Qiaoqian knew this from Zheng Jiajia's mouth. After all, where they lived, most of the old students couldn't live there, and as freshmen, they were the only ones who lived here since the beginning of school.
Naturally, the school did not take this into consideration and only went to the freshmen dormitory area to notify them.
"I see."
"Thank you!"
Huang Qiaoqian nodded, said thank you and then closed the door. She didn't have much favorable impression of this person who even made Su Chen's decisions.
"Why…"
Zheng Jiajia looked anxious and quickly called out to Huang Qiaoqian who was about to close the door, "I have something to say!"
Huang Qiaoqian's movement of closing the door stalled, "Say."
"I'm here to apologize."
Zheng Jiajia smiled coquettishly. It was rare for an old student to apologize to a new student. But in the scene a few days ago, I felt like apologizing like this was nothing.
In the past few days, she had been thinking about coming over to apologize, but she could never take that step. She thought there was no sufficient reason.
Now that we have it, we will convey the notice issued by the school.
"That day, what I said was inappropriate, but you can rest assured that I really didn't have any evil intentions at all!"
"So it's impossible to take advantage of your boyfriend."
"Because...because I don't like men..."
As she said that, her face turned red for no reason. She had thought clearly about not liking men in the past few days. She thought she just hated men, but she didn't expect that it had transformed into another state.
Upon hearing this, Huang Qiaoqian looked at her blushing face, her face changed slightly, she moved quickly, and closed the door with a bang.
Outside the door, Zheng Jiajia looked stunned and confused. What was going on? Didn't she just say that she didn't like men?
"Open the door, did you misunderstand something?"
"sisters……"
No matter how Zheng Jiajia screamed, Huang Qiaoqian's body was pressed against the door. Even when she heard the sound of "sisters", her delicate body couldn't help but tremble. How could such a thing happen again...
"Who's shouting?"
Su Chen went downstairs and asked.
Huang Qiaoqian looked at him and told him everything.
After hearing this, Su Chen stepped forward and opened the door, "I'll drive them away."
Huang Qiaoqian stopped him, "Forget it, it's okay. I'll leave by myself when I'm tired."
"Let's get down to business."
Su Chen crossed his arms and said nonchalantly with a sense of understanding: "How can this be considered serious business? If you want to choose a good mentor, you should perform well in the ranking competition."
It's said to be allocation, but it doesn't necessarily matter if you choose it.
Ranked battles, to put it bluntly, are a form of showing oneself.
You choose a mentor, but the mentor may not be able to take a fancy to you.
Besides, it doesn't mean much to them.
Huang Qiaoqian also knew that it would be useless for them to choose the best mentor. Cultivation of immortality and martial arts were different paths, so it would be better to choose an ordinary mentor.
On the second day, the freshmen meeting was held. Everything was as Su Chen expected. First, the tutor introduced himself so that the freshmen could get to know him somewhat. Then, the freshman ranking competition was held. The loser could choose a tutor first. .
There are people who want to lose first and pick their favorite mentor.
The moment I saw the loser who chose a tutor with excellent teaching performance but was rejected, I realized that this was a two-way choice!
None of them dared to neglect themselves and competed seriously.
Outside the venue, old students gathered around the three floors inside and outside, all coming to take a look out of curiosity.
Among them, there was a young man with phoenix eyes who was different from others. He did not watch the competition on the stage. Instead, he visited the crowd of freshmen, as if he was looking for something.
"Ji'an, what are you looking at?"
