The next morning.
Xuanwen Academy, in front of Xuanwen Hall.
Having just had breakfast, Lin Ming and the little guy came here to have a look at the Xuanwen Palace.
As the chief scholar, he has not yet entered the Xuanwen Palace and has not seen the handwriting of that lady.
However, there is no gatekeeper in the study hall, and there is a rocking chair at the door.
On the chair, the kind-looking old man half-squinted his eyes, enjoying the morning sunshine.
This old man is none other than Meng Yuanhao.
Lin Ming had experienced a trip to the Divine Museum and already understood what kind of person Meng Yuanhao was.
Moreover, he and Meng Yuanhao had a conversation about divine literature, and they became very attached to each other at that time.
Meng Yuanhao opened his eyes slightly and sat up, no longer leaning on the rocking chair.
"Little friend Lin Ming, are you going to enter the study hall?"
Lin Ming nodded and pointed to the door of the Book Hall, "Yes, I have been the chief for many days and have not yet entered the Xuanwen Hall. I came here this time to improve my strength before the start of the competition between the five houses."
"Are you really going to fulfill the bold words you made back then?" Meng Yuanhao's eyes flashed.
Lin Ming didn't pay much attention and replied casually: "Yes, once a man makes a promise, it is difficult to keep it. Once you say it, you must do it."
"Well said, the day of the competition between the five houses is very close. You should improve your strength. Your current strength will definitely not be able to defeat the other four houses." Meng Yuanhao stroked his beard and nodded.
Lin Ming tilted his head slightly and said in surprise: "Ah? Isn't the competition between the five houses a competition between one house and one house? Does it mean that if you want to be the leader, you need to defeat the four houses?"
"Xuanwen Academy has been weak for too long. Not many students really have a sense of belonging and few are willing to win glory for the academy. In the past five-academy competitions, Xuanwen Academy was just a formality. However, every time the chief of Xuanwen Academy They will all be killed...otherwise, why do you think Li Jingtao has not established himself as chief for ten years?"
"Well, the dean's love is a bit deep. Why did he suddenly appoint me as the chief?" Lin Ming coughed.
"Why, no more confidence?" Meng Yuanhao asked.
Lin Ming shook his head, "Of course not. Only when you accomplish difficult things can you feel more fulfilled."
Meng Yuanhao waved his hand, "Then you can go in, but pets are not allowed in the study hall."
Lu Xueye:? ? ?
It jumped up and jumped up and down, shouting: "I'm not a pet!"
Lin Ming laughed dumbly.
Meng Yuanhao looked Lu Xueye up and down, and then said calmly:
"Then are you a student of Xuanwen College?"
The little guy was silent. After two seconds, he said, "It doesn't seem to be the case."
"So, you can't go in." Meng Yuanhao waved his sleeves to conjure up a coffee table, "Come, have some refreshments with me, and let little friend Lin Ming go in and meditate."
The little guy smelled the fresh floral fragrance of the tea, and his mouth was filled with saliva.
It shook its head reluctantly.
Meng Yuanhao chuckled and said: "I have a lot of refreshments, not only moonflower cakes, but also Guiyun cakes, crispy fruits..."
"Gulu," the little guy roared out of the corner of his mouth. His long snow-white tail swung back and forth, and the word "heartbeat" seemed to be written on his face.
At this time, Lin Ming patted its back and said, "Go ahead, I'll go in by myself."
With Lin Ming's approval and the temptation of delicious food, the little guy no longer hesitated.
The corners of Lin Ming's lips curled up, his sleeves trembled slightly, and he stepped inward.
After entering the book hall, there is a unique cave inside, which is much larger than it looks from the outside.
The book hall is divided into one main hall and three side halls. The main hall is located in the center of the book hall. It contains no less than ten million books. It records not only martial arts practice, but also humanities, geography, academics, life, food, scenery...
It's all-encompassing, and everything is divided into categories and neatly summarized.
It is quite convenient for students to find books.
However, Lin Ming stood at the door of the main hall and saw tens of thousands of bookshelves. Even if he knew he could find them, he didn't know where to start.
Dazzled!
To find the martial arts suitable for your own practice, I'm afraid it will definitely take a lot of time.
He shook his head and walked to the nearest bookshelf.
By coincidence, Bai Chenhai was standing on the other side of the bookshelf, looking for books.
Lin Ming's eyes and Bai Chenhai's eyes met across the books.
Bai Chenhai took out a book, broadened his horizons a little, and said with a smile:
"You finally know how to enter the study hall."
"Mr. Bai." Lin Ming nodded, "Are you waiting here specifically for me?"
"Just reading," Bai Chenhai closed the book and raised it to show Lin Ming, "Did you resolve yesterday's matter?"
Lin Ming opened the book in front of him and said, "Yes."
"Did you use the rogue tactics I taught you?"
"Yes and no, it's not exactly the same. Threatening to disclose family letters and showing off one's talents are actually the same as adding sugared dates to a stick. However, I gave the sugared dates to the ancestor and gave the stick to the head of the family."
"Fuck you...you are so cruel. I remember correctly. The head of the Lin family is your father. If you cheat him like this, what will you do when you go back?"
"Cold salad." Lin Ming shrugged, not paying much attention.
Bai Chenhai smiled and did not continue to explore Lin Ming's family affairs.
Lin Ming didn't tell everything - he got a handwritten letter from Lin Taitian, the ancestor of the Lin family.
It said that it supported Lin Ming's decision and designated Lin Ming as the heir apparent. The Lin family would secretly befriend Cao Zhuqing, the God of War.
However, there is a condition to all this:
Lin Ming must lead Xuanwen Academy to become the leader of the five academies.
If he cannot do it, it means that Lin Ming does not have the ability to practice on his own, and the environment of Xuanwen Academy is not good enough. However, his talent is very strong, and he must not continue to delay in Xuanwen Academy. He must drop out of Xuanwen Academy and follow Lin Ming. Practice in heaven.
Moreover, the Lin family will never form an alliance with the military god Cao Zhuqing, and because Lin Ming once rescued Cao Zhuqing, he will show his attitude to other families - for this reason, they will definitely become enemies with Cao Zhuqing.
Lin Ming didn't know how much of the letter was truth and how much was bluff, but he had to guard against it.
Returning to the Lin family, he was gifted as a monster and stayed with his ancestor to practice. Who knows if the ancestor of the Lin family would check whether his soul had been replaced on a whim.
If it is found out that he has traveled through time, he will most likely be mistaken for a body snatcher, and then...
Click!
"Why are you in a daze?" Bai Chenhai waved his hand to release his spiritual energy and slapped Lin Ming in the face.
Lin Ming was hit on the forehead and his head tilted back slightly.
"No, it's nothing. I just think that time is running out and I have to improve my strength quickly."
Bai Chenhai frowned, "You just learned the breathing method, and you have been promoted to the body-forging realm. It is very difficult for you to quickly improve your strength. The body-forging realm must be a grinding effort. Some people even spend three years in this realm. This This is all to pave the way for a wider and longer path to martial arts in the future. You must not waste your talents by trying to be too quick."
"I know," Lin Ming shook his head, "but I want to be the leader of the fifth academy."
Bai Chenhai said: "You don't have to be so anxious to get the leader of the fifth house...unless you want to overwhelm the other four houses with one person."
Lin Ming smiled and said, "Absolutely."
Bai Chenhai was stunned for a moment, and then joked: "I can't tell. You look elegant and handsome, but I didn't expect you to be so crazy inside. If you do this, you will really rub the rest of the four courtyards in the dust."
