Although Ling Junxuan kept an unusually low profile, the news of his promotion and departure from Yunmeng City was still not completely kept secret.
The news spread and the whole city was shaken.
Lin Beichen didn't go to see him off.
But it is said that early that morning, before the sun had risen, the city lord's palace was surrounded by crazy citizens.
Ling Junxuan has been the Lord of Yunmeng City for 20 years. He has been an honest official and a kind-hearted man. He has done nothing for the citizens and used violent methods to deal with external enemies. He has light taxes, focused on agriculture and commerce, and built many infrastructures, making this remote and chaotic small seaport a strong city wall.
, the buildings are neat, the planning is reasonable, and the areas are clear, it has become a paradise-like place, which can be said to be deeply loved by the citizens of Yunmeng City.
I thought that this gentle and gentle parent official could suppress Yunmeng forever.
Who would have expected that Zhaohui Dacheng suddenly issued an order, and within three days, Ling Junxuan's family hurriedly left Yunmeng City.
The citizens of Yunmeng lined up to see him off ten miles away, but they were still in tears.
In particular, many civilians and poor people showed their true feelings and cried loudly.
The new Yunmeng City Lord Cui Hao also took office on the same day.
The rich and powerful people in the city jointly held a banquet at Wansheng Tower that night to warmly welcome the new official. All the famous people in the city were present.
As the first place winner in the competition for hegemony, Lin Beichen received the invitation without exception.
However, Lin Beichen simply threw the invitation in the trash can and ignored it.
It's not that he has any objections to the new city lord.
But he didn't want to have any contact with the imperial officialdom at all.
Later it was discovered that he was the only one who declined the invitation.
However, this incident did not cause any waves.
It is said that at the welcome banquet that night, the new city lord Cui Haofeng was handsome, graceful, gentle, and easy-going, which left an excellent impression on all the attendees. Lin Beichen was not mentioned from the beginning to the end.
But on the second day, a piece of news came, causing a sensation in the entire Yunmeng City.
Former city lord Ling Junxuan and his party were attacked by unknown forces as soon as they left the realm of Yunmeng. After a great battle, they suffered heavy losses. All the accompanying guards were killed. His right-hand men Li Luoran and Ling Tianfeng were also seriously injured. Ling Junxuan himself was also hit by an arrow.
, Fortunately, at the critical moment, I got help from a passing expert and hurriedly retreated from the attacker, and I was out of danger.
"God bless, Lord Ling is fine."
"Someone is so crazy that he even attacked Lord Ling's family. He is simply not a human being."
"In these years, City Master Ling and his family have not offended anyone, right?"
"We cannot sit idly by and ignore this, we must investigate this matter."
"But our power is far from enough. Let me tell you, everyone should go to the temple to petition, pray for City Lord Ling, and ask the temple to investigate this matter and give justice to City Lord Ling and his family."
There were all kinds of discussions in Yunmeng City.
The crowd was excited.
Lin Beichen was extremely shocked when he heard this.
After being exposed to many things these days, he had a vague feeling that the energy of the Ling family was obviously far beyond the imagination of many people, including what he himself saw was just the tip of the iceberg above the water. What kind of power could actually
Are you so crazy that you dare to provoke such a force?
Fortunately, the final result was almost safe.
I don’t know if you were injured in the early morning?
It should be fine.
He had the intention to inquire about the information, but then he hesitated and did not put it into action.
He decided to swallow the bad breath of being deprived of his first kiss.
Now that we are separated, it is better to live well on our own.
We can no longer tease the little Phoenix of Ling Mansion who has a split personality.
In the afternoon, he came to the temple to attend class.
In the square, in front of the statue of the Lord of Swords, there were densely packed citizens kneeling, praying for the former city lord.
The number of people was no less than that of the award ceremony that day where the geniuses competed for supremacy.
Many young and beautiful little priests knelt at the front of the crowd and led the prayer ceremony.
The apse of the temple.
"Study [Criticism of Pure Divinity] today. This is the most complete and profound Shinto classic handed down by the Lord of the Sword, Jun Mian, so far. Although you have never forgotten it, if you memorize it and understand it thoroughly, I'm afraid you won't be able to
It will take more than ten days..."
Chief Priest Qin opened the heavy book and started talking from the first page.
The sunlight shines through the dome and shines on her soft, thick silver hair, seeming to sparkle with the radiance of divinity and holiness.
Lin Beichen put his hands on top of each other and supported his chin with the back of his hands. His eyes moved back and forth between the book and the face of Chief Priest Qin. The latter took ten times as long as the former.
Priest Qin finished the third page with an indifferent expression, looked into Lin Beichen's eyes and said, "Are there any words on my face?"
Lin Beichen shook his head.
Priest Qin asked again: "Are there flowers?"
Lin Beichen blurted out, "How can Hua'er have a face as good as Chief Priest Qin's?"
Chief Priest Qin closed the book with a snap and said calmly, "Is your mood unstable today because of the attack on City Lord Ling?"
Lin Beichen shook his head and said, "Because I discovered something strange."
Chief Priest Qin's beautiful eyes were filled with questions.
Lin Beichen said: "I seem to be able to cultivate mystical energy again, and now I have reached the third level of warrior realm."
A look of surprise appeared on Chief Priest Qin's face, and he immediately said: "Give me your hand."
"ah?"
Lin Beichen was startled.
Chief Priest Qin grabbed Lin Beichen's wrist.
A touch of elasticity and smoothness that is difficult to describe in words but yet seems familiar came through.
Lin Beichen's heart trembled, and he quickly said subconsciously: "No, this is a temple. It's not good to be discovered, so why not change a place..."
However, Chief Priest Qin withdrew his palm and said: "It's strange. This kind of situation has never been seen before. There is a whirlpool of divine power in your Dantian. It's the same as the one blessed by the gods. How can you still cultivate new profound energy... What else is strange about you?
Feeling?"
Lin Beichen acted as if he hadn't said anything just now, and said seriously: "I feel that the water-type cultivation techniques that I have mastered before cannot control the new profound energy very well, and it seems to be a bit repulsive."
Chief Priest Qin frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Then try the [Advanced Xuanqi Condensation Technique] again."
Um?
Lin Beichen was startled.
[Advanced Xuan Qi Condensation Technique] is an enlightenment level Xuan Qi cultivation technique.
It is specially designed for students who have not yet awakened the attributes of Xuan Qi to exercise and refine Xuan Qi.
Will it be more effective than [Fish-Dragon Transformation], an advanced method of cultivating mystical mind?
"Today's class is over. After you try the [Advanced Xuanqi Condensation Technique], tell me the results."
As Chief Priest Qin spoke, he stood up slowly and walked outside, saying: "Xiaoye is going to Chaohui Temple to further her studies. You can go and see her off."
"oh."
Lin Beichen left the classroom and came to the back hall courtyard.
I saw Ye Weiyang who was saying goodbye to her sisters.
"Brother Chen, you are here. Are you here to see me off?"
Ye Weiyang was obviously very surprised when she saw Lin Beichen.
"Why did you suddenly go to further study?"
Lin Beichen asked with a smile.
In the temple square that day, in order to save people, Ye Weiyang stepped forward and fought against the Zuo Ling in Tan Gujin's hands at all costs, which moved countless people. Now in Yunmeng City, her popularity has exceeded that of the early morning.
A new generation of priestesses.
"The decree issued by Archbishop Wangyue has assigned me to study for one year," Ye Weiyang said with joy on his face: "Being able to study in Chaohui Temple is the dream of every priest in Yunmeng Temple, but...it has been a long time.
, I won’t be able to see Brother Chen anymore.”
Lin Beichen smiled and said: "If I have the opportunity to go to Chaohui City, I will definitely go to the temple to see you."
It would be a shame if you never had the chance to go.
"Really?"
Ye Weiyang's eyes flashed brightly and she said, "If my studies go well and I can spare some time, I will come back to visit Brother Chen."
When the other little priest sisters around him saw this, they all laughed and started teasing him.
After a while, Ye Weiyang went to say goodbye to Chief Priest Qin, and then set off in the car with the bright warriors from Zhaohui Temple.
After saying goodbye, Lin Beichen had just returned to the Third College, and as soon as he stepped into the school gate, Chu Hen came to him in a hurry, acting like a truant student who was blocking the way outside to have fun.
…
Office of the Grade Director.
"The exchange competition between the four major leaders for hegemony in seven days?"
Lin Beichen was surprised when he heard this: "What is that?"
"After the annual Tianjiao Competition, the Fengyu Provincial Department of Education will organize the top-ranked Tianjiao from the sixty-eight cities in Xinjin, Dongming, Dachuan and Haian to gather together.
An exchange competition is held with the purpose of allowing the new generation of kendo geniuses to get to know each other, practice their skills, and know what it means to have a better world and a better world, so as to avoid these little geniuses from winning the championship in their respective cities.
Tianmen, if you hold your head too high, you forget the path under your feet."
Chu Hen explained excitedly.
Lin Beichen touched his forehead with his hand.
It sounds like a lot of trouble.
Chu Hen couldn't bear the excitement in his heart and said: "The Department of Education has issued a decree. This time the exchange competition will be held in our Yunmeng City. This is the first time in the world. In the past, our Yunmeng City, where
To be able to receive such honor is because of you."
"What does it have to do with me?"
Lin Beichen was already thinking about how to evade.
The so-called winning glory for the Third Junior College is just casual talk.
Do you take the words of a scumbag seriously?
Chu Hen explained excitedly: "Because you are a favored one by the gods, Yunmeng City is also regarded as an auspicious place. Even if other cities want to compete, they can't compete with us. I heard that City Lord Cui is concerned about this matter.
, attaching great importance to it, the Administrative Department and the Education Department have joined forces and issued a military order to the city lord to make this exchange competition a beautiful one."
Lin Beichen rubbed his eyebrows with his middle finger.
Is this going to be a "three things to do when a new official takes office"?
"If you can defeat the top talent of the junior college in Zhucheng in the exchange competition this time, you will really show your face."
There was undisguised encouragement in Chu Hen's tone.
"What am I fighting for? My handsome, brutally handsome face?"
Lin Beichen said speechlessly: "It's not like you don't know that I'm a useless person now. If it's a competition for appearance, I'll definitely win, but for a competition of strength, any top genius can easily beat the shit out of me.
"
Chu Hen crossed his arms, looked at the prodigal son up and down, pinched his chin, and said: "If it were someone else, with half-strength, they might really be beaten to shit, but I always feel that you might be able to create miracles, and it's worth the gamble.
A handful."
"Not interested in."
Lin Beichen said: "I can be a mascot at most."
Chu Hen said: "Hey, that's a pity. The top ten in the exchange competition will receive huge rewards, especially the first place, which will be directly rewarded with 100,000 gold coins."
"hehe."
Lin Beichen sneered: "Do you think I am the kind of person who is blind to money? Let me think about it."
