In front of the door of the handyman building halfway up the main peak, thirty-six handymen were already lined up in the yard.
Xin Yongfu waited until the scene was completely quiet, then waved Xiao Yinyue to the front and introduced everyone:
"Her name is Xiao Yinyue. She just joined yesterday. She will be responsible for cleaning the surroundings of the Sutra Pavilion from now on."
Speaking of this, Xin Yongfu paused for a moment, looked at a tall and thin woman of seventeen or eighteen years old and said:
"Qiao Siyu, the place you are responsible for is on the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion. You happen to be on the way. From now on, you will lead Xiao Yinyue and make her familiar with everything in the sect as soon as possible."
Qiao Siyu stepped forward with a smile on her face and replied, "Yes, don't worry, Manager Xin, I will definitely take good care of Junior Sister Xiao."
Xin Yongfu nodded without saying anything, and Xiao Yinyue saluted and thanked: "Thank you, Senior Sister Qiao!"
Qiao Siyu took Xiao Yinyue's hand with a smile and walked to the team.
After arranging the day's affairs, Xin Yongfu took everyone into the kitchen to prepare for the meal.
She had porridge for breakfast, as well as vegetables, shredded pork and eggs. Xiao Yinyue felt that the food here was so good. However, she also controlled her emotions and did not show them. She sat with Qiao Siyu and ate slowly. .
After dinner, Qiao Siyu took Xiao Yinyue to the Scripture Collection Pavilion. On the way, there was no one else around, so Qiao Siyu said with a smile as she walked: "Junior Sister Xiao, the Scripture Collection Pavilion is an important place in the sect. Many handymen have been working for two or three years, and those who have performed well come here to the Sutra Pavilion. I didn’t expect that you would be assigned to the Sutra Pavilion as soon as you started."
Xiao Yinyue said calmly: "Thank you, Senior Sister Qiao, for reminding me. I will be cleaning outside and won't wander around."
Although Qiao Siyu was very polite and always had a smile on her face, Xiao Yinyue couldn't feel any kindness, so the tone of her answers also had a sense of alienation.
Qiao Siyu still said with a smile: "It has been eight years since I entered the sect, and it has only been two years since I transferred to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. I have worked in the kitchen, in the laundry room, and in the pharmacy. I am very good to the sect. I am quite familiar with the handyman, but this is the first time I have seen a handyman as beautiful as you, and I have never even seen one among the outer disciples. I really envy you!"
Xiao Yinyue said modestly: "Senior Sister Qiao is so complimentary. I am a country girl, how can I be so beautiful?"
The two of them were talking and soon arrived outside the Sutra Pavilion. Qiao Siyu pointed to the surrounding ground and said to Xiao Yinyue: "The yard and roads outside are all within your scope of cleaning. In fact, if you really clean them, It doesn’t take much time, half an hour at most is enough.”
Xiao Yinyue made a visual inspection and felt that it was not too wide, so she nodded and said: "Well, this job is quite easy for me. Thank you, Senior Sister Qiao, for leading the way. You can go in and do your work!"
After Qiao Siyu entered the Scripture Collection Pavilion, Xiao Yinyue couldn't help but look at this important place of the sect curiously.
The Sutra Pavilion has a total of five floors, with carved beams and painted pillars, and flying pavilions with flowing elixirs. It is exquisite yet solemn, and gorgeous yet majestic. Especially the three words "Sutra Pavilion" on the plaque, with flying dragons and phoenixes, and solemn atmosphere, give this place The pavilion adds a bit of mystery.
The ground around the attic was paved with bluestone slabs, which were flat and strong, with patterns and some words engraved on them. Xiao Yinyue curiously checked several slabs and found that the contents on them were all different. Each slab had different contents. There is a classic book from Wanling Continent engraved on it, with only the cover and introduction.
Some of the books Xiao Yinyue had read, some she had heard of but not read, and some she had never heard of.
Due to limited time, Xiao Yinyue did not slowly read the words on the slate. Instead, she picked up the broom and swept a few casual glances. Occasionally she would stay for a while when she encountered something of interest.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Qiao Siyu walked out of the Scripture Collection Pavilion and asked, "Junior sister Xiao, have you finished scanning? It's time for us to go to the academy."
Xiao Yinyue withdrew her eyes from the bluestone board, looked at Qiao Siyu and replied: "It's been a while since I finished scanning. I was looking at the patterns and words on the bluestone board, and found that there are many books that I haven't read!"
Qiao Siyu said casually: "There are so many books in this world, how many can we read?"
Xiao Yinyue said with longing: "I found that the books that can be engraved on this stone slab are all classics of Wanling Continent. I hope to read all the books on this one day."
Qiao Siyu said in surprise: "Do you know how many books there are? Many of these books are obscure and difficult to understand. It will take decades to finish reading them."
Xiao Yinyue smiled lightly and said: "I just counted it. There are nine hundred and ninety-nine books in total, sixty-seven of which I have read. As long as I can find these books, I don't think it will take more than a few decades. I can finish reading it in ten or eight years at most."
Qiao Siyu said in disbelief: "Have you read so many books? I have never finished reading any of the books above, and I can't read them at all!"
When it came to reading, Xiao Yinyue's eyes immediately became brighter, and she answered with an extremely obsessed tone:
"Reading is so interesting. Every time I read a book, it's like having a distant communication with a wise man. I like that feeling very much!"
Qiao Siyu had some difficulty understanding her thoughts, and shook her head and said: "The words in those books are so confusing that I fall asleep every time I read them. If the sect didn't insist on learning, I wouldn't be too lazy. Go read some books, practice more when you have time, and improve your cultivation is the right way."
In just two sentences, the two of them realized that they couldn't talk about this topic together.
When they arrived at the academy in a small flying boat with other servants, Xiao Yinyue discovered that the Seven Stars Academy was really big. There were seven three-story pavilions built in the arrangement of the Big Dipper among the green mountains and green waters. The environment was beautiful. , simple and quiet, it is indeed a good place to study!
At this time, many people had gathered in Qixing Academy, talking in twos and threes in the spacious square in the middle. Most of them were wearing the clothes of handymen, and there were also a few outer disciples.
As soon as Xiao Yinyue stepped off the flying boat, a small mountain of human flesh rushed towards her, saying excitedly as she ran:
"Yueyue, Yueyue, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Although they had only been separated for one night, Wei Xiaoxue felt very uncomfortable and lonely in a strange environment, so when she saw Xiao Yinyue, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Before Xiao Yinyue could react, she was hugged tightly by Wei Xiaoxue. This bear hug made her feel very warm and familiar. The two of them often slept on the same bed before, and Wei Xiaoxue liked to hug her. She sleeps.
She could feel Wei Xiaoxue's helplessness, so she let her hold him like this.
People in the square were gathering together in small groups to chat, but the movement here was a bit loud, and it suddenly attracted the attention of many people.
When their eyes looked here, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. How long had it been before they reunited to be so excited and excited?
After a while, Wei Xiaoxue, who had calmed down a little, finally let go of Xiao Yinyue. When Xiao Yinyue's face was revealed, she once again attracted exclamations -
"This handyman is so beautiful!"
"I didn't expect that there are such beautiful people in our team of handymen!"
"Who is that big fat man? Why is she so excited?"
…
Among the handymen who came to the square, in addition to those who came from Sheng'an Square for testing, many came from other cities. There were handymen and outer disciples. They all saw Xiao Yinyue for the first time.
Among the ranks of servants and outer disciples, I have never seen a woman with such outstanding temperament as Xiao Yinyue. Her beauty, in addition to her exquisite facial features and smart eyes, is more importantly a kind of beauty that comes from within. The aroma of books emanating from outside.
Even if she stood there quietly and said nothing, others could not help but feel a sense of distance that they dared not approach. It seemed that such a beauty could only be viewed from a distance without being blasphemed. Her beauty was pure and untainted by dust.
In the distance, Li Qingyun, standing alone at the railing on the second floor of the academy, narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a playful tone:
"Sure enough, he is so magnificent. Even if he is wearing the clothes of a handyman, he is still independent and otherworldly!"
At this moment, I saw a young man wearing the clothes of an outer disciple. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He completely ignored other people's eyes and walked calmly towards Xiao Yinyue. You could tell by the cold expression on his face, He wasn't there to make friends.
"Are you Xiao Yinyue? I am Xia Zixuan, Xia Ziyan's cousin. She said she was bullied by you on the day of the test. I want to come and ask you for an explanation."
When Wei Xiaoxue heard that he was an outer disciple with a cold face, he nervously grabbed Xiao Yinyue's hand and did not dare to speak.
Xiao Yinyue, however, kept a calm expression and asked calmly:
"I wonder if you have any advice?"
Xia Zixuan seemed to have already had an idea, so he said with a cold face:
"Due to the rules of the sect, I cannot attack you personally, but my sister has the right to challenge you, and you cannot refuse."
Xiao Yinyue had read this rule in the brochure last night, which was that if there were conflicts or disputes between fellow sects, they could not fight in private, but they could choose to resolve them in the ring.
If a person with a lower level of cultivation challenges someone with a higher level of cultivation, the person with a higher level of cultivation cannot refuse. If the person with the same level of cultivation challenges a younger person with a higher level of cultivation, the older person cannot refuse.
Xiao Yinyue didn't answer immediately. Although neither of them had any cultivation level, and Xia Ziyan was younger than her, since she dared to challenge, she must have some support, so she was so confident. If she didn't know the inside story, she would have rashly agreed. You might put yourself in danger.
However, how to refuse if you don’t agree?
While Xiao Yinyue was still thinking, Wei Xiaoxue said in a trembling voice:
"If you want to challenge, you should challenge me. I am the one who conflicts with Xia Ziyan."
Although she was scared, she thought she was better than Xiao Yinyue in a fight, so she stood up bravely.
Xia Zixuan looked at Wei Xiaoxue, thought for a while and replied:
"I heard that you two are already together, so why don't you two come together? That way there will be no reason to refuse!"
Challenge two at the same time? How could she, a ten-year-old girl, be so confident?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Xiao Yinyue became more cautious about unknown things.
Just when Xiao Yinyue was thinking hard about countermeasures, she heard a voice coming from far outside the square——
"Xia Zixuan, what's the point of watching a few uncultivated people fight? Why don't you challenge me? No matter what conditions you put forward, even if it's a life and death fight, I, Wei Xiaolong, will take it!"
