At the gate of Nanci Jingshefang, unlike usual, it was quiet and deserted.
There were only three female officers on duty in front of the door.
Several melodious morning bells rang in the distance.
Today is the first day of the month. All the four prefectures in Taiqing Prefecture have a morning meeting once a month. Students from all four prefectures must be present if they have nothing important to do.
Not long after, many female students returned to Nanci Jingshe one after another.
More and more people came through the door.
At this moment, a group of people were slowly walking in front of them. They were seven female students returning together.
Seven women, spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums.
To others, it is pleasing to the eye.
However, most passers-by would glance unconsciously at the most marginalized female student among the group of women, who was wearing ordinary white clothes from Xiaoyao Mansion and had a mole of tears under her left eye.
Because she is Zhao Lingfei.
And just not long ago, he stepped up to the high platform step by step under the envious eyes of everyone, and received from the deputy palace master the reward for being the first-ranked student in the first-class Haoran Realm in this season's Qingyuntai Competition, and the super-standard palace.
The birth month gives resources for practice.
Most of the seven female students were laughing and chatting. Only Concubine Zhao Ling was walking aside quietly, listening to the conversation of her companions and looking at the gate of Nanci Jingshe that was getting closer and closer. She didn't know what she was thinking.
.
Most of the seven girls are students from Xiaoyao Prefecture, but there is also a 28-year-old girl who is wearing the uniform of Fuyao Prefecture.
This girl has lily hair on her temples, a pretty face, and is petite and lovely. She smiles gracefully in the crowd and talks lively with her senior sisters.
At this moment, a senior sister smiled at her and said:
"Junior Sister Lanzhi, not long after you entered the mansion, you won the thirteenth place in Fuyao Palace in the Qingyun Competition. You are outstanding among your peers. You are really amazing. In a few years, when you enter Xiaoyao Palace, maybe I will be with you.
It’s the same as Senior Sister Fei.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanzhi hurriedly bowed his hands.
"Senior sister, don't flatter me. I just relied on some family resources to practice faster than my peers before I entered the mansion. When I first came in, I happened to encounter the Qingyuntai Competition, and I was lucky enough to get this falsely high ranking. How can I be as powerful as senior sister said?
, I don’t know if Haoran Realm can have a natal flying sword, maybe he is not qualified to share the same mansion with the senior sisters..."
She paused, then reached out to grab the hand of a quiet female student in the middle of the crowd, held it and waved it, "Cousin Ruoxi, are you right?"
Ye Ruoxi glanced at this cousin, who had high hopes for her from the family ancestor, and nodded seriously.
"Lanzhi is right. From childhood, in the clan, in Duyou Academy, and now in Fuyao Mansion, Lanzhi has been lucky enough to be ahead of her peers every time, haha..."
The female student of Xiaoyao Mansion couldn't help but laugh as she spoke, and reached out to touch Ye Lanzhi's forehead, "This little girl says this every time, like a little fox, she is humble in her mouth, but also in her heart.
I don’t know how proud I am, if I weren’t much older than her and it’s inconvenient to compare, otherwise I would be like the young men of this generation in the family and be compared to her.”
Ye Lanzhi heard the first few sentences and thought that her cousin, who had been close to her since childhood, was speaking for her. However, she was demolished within two sentences and angrily went to scratch Ye Ruoxi's itch.
"Okay, Ye Ruoxi, let's see if I don't reveal all your embarrassing things. Let's see how you get married in the future. Humph, did you often go to see an academician in the past two days? Hehe, I saw it. He seems to be
He is the disciple of Mr. Academy, the new man from Fuyao Mansion... Hey, why are you blocking my mouth... Hehe, someone wants to silence him..."
Ye Ruoxi went to cover Ye Lanzhi's mouth in shame.
When several female students around saw the cousins playing around, they also laughed like silver bells. The group became lively, and everyone said something to me.
After a while of fighting, Ye Lanzhi broke free from the restraints, straightened her clothes with a red face, thought for a while, and said seriously:
"I'm serious. How can I compete with Senior Sister Lingfei who is so awesome as the senior sisters said? I'm really embarrassed. Are the senior sisters just laughing at me when they say this..."
After saying this, she looked at Concubine Zhao Ling cautiously.
I saw that Zhao Lingfei seemed to be a little... distracted at this time.
Her eyelids were slightly drooped, and she did not join in the conversation. She walked quietly by herself. From time to time, she would raise her head to glance at the gate of Nanci Jingshe in the distance, then purse her lips and lower her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
And occasionally... the corners of her mouth would slightly raise, very lightly. Matching Zhao Lingfei's originally quiet and beautiful face, you wouldn't be able to tell it if you didn't look closely.
Senior Sister Lingfei's temperament is indeed the same as those men said. She is very deserted and doesn't talk to us much. The other senior sisters seem to be used to it...
Well, what is she thinking about? Is she thinking about cultivation? She must be, Senior Sister Lingfei is so powerful, she is only one year older than me, and all the geniuses in the same field have been left behind in Fuyao Mansion. She is currently in the two mansions.
Among the students in Haoran Realm, he is also the best. If it weren't for Taiyi Mansion and the amazing and talented Senior Brother Ji who is chasing after him, he can be far behind him. This time, he is also ranked closely behind Haoran.
The students from the Jingjia class are second, otherwise, the heads of all the male students in the house will be pressed down by Senior Sister Lingfei alone.
Ye Lanzhi thought to herself, with some hazy longing in her eyes, and when she thought that Zhao Lingfei was like this just now, facing the different eyes of all the students in the audience, and walking up to the stage to receive the award calmly, she felt even more...
This senior sister is a goddess-like figure who does not easily assume others' colors...
At this moment, Zhao Lingfei realized that all the companions around her were looking at her. She turned around and had listened briefly, so she didn't know what was being said.
Zhao Lingfei gently nodded at this little junior sister who had recently been favored by the senior sisters in the circle and often played with her, and said in a serious tone: "Junior sister Ye is already very powerful."
Ye Lanzhi smiled brightly and received the praise from her role model. She suddenly felt that Senior Sister Lingfei was not as distant as she seemed. She seemed to have a closer relationship and was no longer humble. She said sweetly: "Thank you, Senior Sister, for the compliment."
.”
When everyone saw that Concubine Zhao Ling had come to her senses and spoke, they all took the opportunity to speak out.
"Junior sister Lingfei, have you collected all the materials for your natural sword? When will you start making the sword?"
"I have collected some, it should be soon." Zhao Lingfei replied casually.
Ye Ruoxi suddenly said: "Concubine Ling, did Junior Brother Ji whisper something to you on the stage just now?"
She didn't want to say anything anymore, but when she saw the looks of anticipation on the faces of the senior and junior fellow students around her, she said helplessly: "Ji Ganyi said that there were some cultural gatherings being held recently and asked me if I would go."
Just a casual sentence and I won’t mention it again.
Everyone looked at each other and understood somewhat. Ji Qianyi was the same prodigy in the house as Zhao Lingfei, but one was in Taiyi Mansion and the other was in Xiaoyao Mansion.
Among the four palaces of the Taiqing Dynasty, Fuyao Palace is mainly for students who have not entered Haoran or the first-class palace, while Kunpeng Palace is all for the first-class martial arts, so the Haoran Palace is all in Taiyi and Xiaoyao Palace.
Among the current students of Haoran Realm in the two houses, these two people are the best, leaving the others far behind.
At first, Ji Ganyi could still compete with Zhao Lingfei. In some internal competitions and trials, the two often took turns taking first and second place. Of course, Ji Ganyi was close to twenty years old, while Zhao Lingfei was only seventeen, and One is a Taoist cultivator and the other is a swordsman cultivator, so one can still tell which one is stronger and which one is weaker, but at least in the Haoran realm, the two are inseparable.
However, this situation did not last long, so don't be broken.
Zhao Lingfei quickly left Ji Gan behind, reached the bottleneck of the Haoran Realm, and was about to break through the realm.
It's just that fate always surprises people. This bottleneck of Haoran Realm actually stuck Zhao Lingfei, so Ji Qian immediately chased after her and reached the bottleneck of Haoran Realm.
At present, which of the two prodigies in the mansion will break through first has become a hotly debated matter among the students of Taiqing Mansion.
And now Ji Qianyi invites Zhao Lingfei to participate in a cultural gathering, looking for an opportunity to break the mirror? There is a bit of an enemy and a friend in it... and the thoughts in this are interesting.
but……
The female students looked at Zhao Lingfei's expression and probably knew how she answered Ji Ganyi, and secretly laughed at Ji Ganyi.
Everyone chatted for a while.
Ye Lanzhi asked curiously: "Senior Sister Lingfei, can you show me the reward that the Deputy Palace Master gave you? I heard that the Palace Master obtained the Heart Demon Seed of Annihilation from a secret place in the North Sea. I had only seen it in books before. I have passed by, but I don’t know what the situation was like.”
Zhao Lingfei threw it away, and a small pure white brocade bag flew out of her sleeve. Ye Lanzhi took it happily and looked down at it with several similarly curious senior sisters around her.
Then, Zhao Lingfei turned her eyes and glanced again at the door of Nanci Jingshe, which was getting closer and closer.
At this time, it is the time when the sun is rising, the morning light is warm, the birds are singing like green, a new day has just begun, and...his love letter should have arrived...you are not allowed to be lazy, you can't miss it even a day...otherwise , hum hum…
The pale golden morning light kissed her face, and the warm temperature made Zhao Lingfei's fair face blush slightly. There was light in her eyes, and she looked forward.
There seemed to be something waiting for her ahead, Zhao Lingfei's steps were brisk.
Not long after, we arrived at Nanci Jingshe.
She turned around and found that her companions seemed to be preparing to chat for a while in front of the Nanci Jingshe door, so she spoke up and left first.
Ye Lanzhi followed Zhao Lingfei's figure as she got up with a slightly curious look. She quickly walked up to the female officials beside the door and seemed to ask something. The lady with tall temples shook her head, and then Zhao Lingfei paused for a while and turned around. Entered Nanci Jingshe.
Ye Lanzhi looked away, feeling that Zhao Lingfei's back, the slight sway of her body, and her walking steps were a bit... cheerful?
The calm and desolate posture is no longer the same as before, just like...just like...a little girl looking forward to something, or a woman falling in love?
She shook her head slightly, feeling that this strange idea was a bit ridiculous, how could it be possible... What are you thinking about?
Ye Lanzhi turned around and found that her senior sisters were chatting about a topic that interested her.
"Ruoxi, how do you know that academician named Li?"
Ye Ruoxi's lips curled up slightly, her eyes filled with memories.
"I went to Beifu for business a few days ago. He suddenly stopped me and asked me how to get to a certain place. He seemed to be sending a letter to his teacher. When I saw his appearance at that time, I thought to you people from Linlu Academy
Don’t they all like to run to our house and know the way clearly? There is no way they don’t know the way.
So... I ignored him and left first. Later, when I came back after finishing my work, I accidentally found that he was still wandering around in the same place. He really didn't know the way to Beifu... Well, seeing how stupid he was, I just gave him a ride.
We walked down the road...and we got to know each other while chatting on the way..."
The senior sisters around looked at each other with gossip in their eyes.
A female student laughed and said, "Ruoxi, you have to be careful. I heard from the sisters that the scholars in Linlu Academy are all fake and serious. Well, at least those who like to go to our Taiqing Mansion are probably not serious."
You know, don’t be deceived by others, hehe, go ahead and deceive your heart.”
"That's nonsense. I'm that stupid."
Ye Ruoxi said angrily.
She thought for a while, "Well, Li Jinshu should not be such a person. I think he is indeed quite honest. He is Mr. Yan's disciple. I think he is very respectful to his teacher, speaks well, and does not look like a bad person.
…”
Ye Lanzhi, who was originally listening in, heard the words "Mr. Yan", his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he thought of.
Afterwards, several women chatted again.
A female student said:
"Ruoxi, why don't you go back and talk to Li Jinshu, and let's take some time to hold a poetry party, anthology, etc., and ask him to bring some of the academy's elites over. We have less contact with them there, so we just want to get to know each other. Of course, sisters
Our most important thing is to help you check and see how this Li Jinshu is. In addition, it can also be beneficial to junior sister Lanzhi and the others in their cultivation and breakthrough. Well, Concubine Ling probably won't come, so I'll ask later..."
Ye Ruoxi thought for a while, blushed slightly and said, "Then...I'll go talk to him..."
After that, everyone chatted for a while and then prepared to disperse. It was the beginning of the month and there were still a lot of things to do.
However, at this moment, there was a shout from behind.
"Langhi, Lanzhi!"
When everyone turned around, Ye Ruoxi looked a little strange when she saw the person coming, and glanced at her cousin.
Ye Lanzhi stiffened and kept walking, ready to continue walking.
"Lanzhi, wait for me, I am brother Yushu!"
Fan Yushu ran from behind with a happy face and stopped in front of Ye Lanzhi.
