The previous focus of Qitian Academy was not on training generals who would go into battle to kill the enemy.
Those who can enter Qitian Academy are either the powerful people of the day or the richest people of the day.
The last emperor of the previous dynasty, Xiao Baojuan, was ignorant and unprincipled, and he employed nepotism. If the emperor was like this, it was natural for his subordinates to imitate him.
How could the powerful and wealthy men of the day let their nephews rush to the front to kill the enemy?
Therefore, although Qitian Academy also devotes all its efforts to cultivating practitioners, it mostly wants these practitioners to become officials in the central government, or to learn more principles and become teachers in colleges in various places.
This is not the case in the current Southern Liang Dynasty.
After Emperor Wu of Liang came to the throne, not only did he make clear government orders and change his old views, he also did many admirable things himself.
After he ascended the throne, he not only dismissed the two thousand concubines of the previous dynasty, but also drastically reduced the expenses of the palace. He himself was frugal to the extreme.
Although Lin Yi's family was in ruins and his situation became difficult because of his rebellion and his accession to the throne, he still admired the emperor's actions.
Now, with the coming of the spiritual wilderness, Nantian Academy has obviously treated everyone equally and trained these powerful disciples to become practitioners who can go into battle to kill the enemy. The changes in the academies in various places can naturally be seen.
"It would be great if Shi Qian could also study at Nantian College."
When thinking of Shi Qian, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh.
This kind of going into battle to kill the enemy requires more than just being well-trained in daily life, having the same emotional meaning, being able to be close to each other and sharing life and death, so you will naturally be stronger against the enemy.
When Shi Qian was at Qitian Academy, he teamed up with him to fight against the enemy. The two sides often knew what the other was thinking with just one look without the need to speak.
Although Emperor Wu of Liang was already considered a wise king, he still had to make some trade-offs in order to secure the throne.
Shi Qian couldn't enter Nantianyuan just because his family background was not enough.
On the contrary, people such as Chen Baobao, Xiao Shufei and others have already too prominent family backgrounds and do not need to enter Nantian Court to gain future fame and fortune.
If you want to say it is fair, there is no fairness at all.
"Lin Yi, I'll live with you." Xiao Suxin turned around and said this without any hesitation.
Among these people, the only one she knew well was Lin Yi, not to mention that she was able to enter Nantian Court only because of Lin Yi.
"How did you get into Nantianyuan?" After hearing what the female instructor Wu Guzhi said, Lin Yi knew that there were no gender restrictions on choosing companions. He nodded and couldn't help but ask immediately.
"I exchanged your Huangya Dan for the letter of sponsorship."
Xiao Suxin took a deep breath. Thinking about it now, she was still a little emotional, "I exchanged Huangya Dan for the letter of sponsorship from the Xuanwang family."
Lin Yi was startled after hearing her words.
"Although the Huangya Pill should help me form yellow buds, I think it may only help me for a short time." Xiao Suxin gritted her teeth and said softly: "I took your Huangya Pill that day. After thinking about it, I decided to give it a try.
If you want to fight, I asked my mother to ask someone to meet with King Xuan."
"Xiao Chang actually exchanged the letter of recommendation for your Huangya Dan? He was actually willing?" Lin Yi was a little unbelievable.
King Xuan Xiao Chang was the elder brother of Emperor Wu of Liang. In his opinion, if Xiao Chang could come up with a letter of sponsorship at will, how could he be short of Huangya Dan?
"Prince Xuan and my father have an old relationship." Xiao Suxin also saw Lin Yi's confusion and explained softly: "Prince Xuan was not very happy in Jiankang. He was about to entrust Hengyang. He happened to have a letter of sponsorship in his hand, but the three of them
My son has not yet formed yellow buds. After arriving in Hengyang, with his status, it will not be difficult to obtain a sponsorship letter, but I am afraid it will not be so easy in the future, so I think he will be willing to accept my exchange for Huang Yadan.
He sent me a letter of recommendation. After a try, it was indeed successful."
"This is a risky move, but if I knew about King Xuan, I would do the same thing." Lin Yi was greatly impressed.
After all, Xiao Suxin was a member of the former royal family. He had seen something different since he was a child. Being able to do such a thing with a yellow bud pill was beyond his expectation.
"It seems that no one has taken the initiative to join you, Lin Yi. We are all students of Qitian College. We have old friendships. There are exactly three of us including me." At this moment, a voice sounded beside them.
"You?" Lin Yi frowned.
The person who spoke turned out to be Qi Zhuji.
He didn't seem to talk to anyone else and walked directly to Lin Yi and Xiao Suxin.
"I have condensed the yellow buds, so I shouldn't hold you back." Looking at Lin Yi's expression, Qi Zhuji smiled.
"We don't seem to be familiar with you either." Lin Yi thought his smile was very treacherous. "Your situation is completely different from ours. Why do you want to join us?"
This is his personality. If he feels something is wrong, he will speak up and will never hide it.
"There are so many people now, and it's easier for people to listen to your honest thoughts. Of course I have my reasons for choosing you, but can we talk when the three of us are alone?" Qi Zhuji's face became proud, "Lin Yi, don't you think so?"
I have forgotten that back then, when I was the most influential person in Qitian College, it was not just because of my family background. I openly chose you here, and naturally I am tied to you, so you will not suffer any loss."
Xiao Suxin looked at Lin Yi.
If she was given a choice, she would certainly not refuse.
In her opinion, Qi Zhuji, who has already formed yellow buds, is much smarter and more powerful than most of the people here. Nantian Academy is no better than Qitian Academy back then. Before she came, she heard King Xuan say that Nantian Academy will have
A lot of practical training.
Nowadays, practical training in the academy involves certain risks. She later thought about it, and this was probably an important reason why King Xuan would rather exchange her letter of sponsorship for Huang Ya Dan.
The more powerful your companions are, the safer your future will be.
But no matter what, she will listen to Lin Yi's opinion.
"I don't care."
Lin Yi smiled faintly, "I had a few fights with Shi Yan at first, but later we became good friends. With your current status, if you are with us, you are not afraid of being squeezed out by others, so I am happy to take advantage. But
If we don’t believe the reasons you gave then, don’t blame me and Xiao Suxin for deliberately dealing with you in the future.”
"Still the same style as before." Qi Zhuji smiled and said, "I appreciate how sincere you are."
"You still smile the same as before, making people think you deserve a beating." Lin Yi looked at him and said.
Qi Zhuji just shrugged and did not argue with Lin Yi.
At this moment, a person suddenly came from the front, glanced at Lin Yi coldly, and said to Qi Zhuji: "Qi Zhuji, I am with Ren Shangzhen and Li Daoyuan, do you want to stay with us?"
Lin Yi looked at this man quietly.
This person was the young man in blue shirt who was sitting in the front row and looked at him coldly when he was standing outside.
The young man in blue shirt looked at him in the same way just now, implying hostility.
"The three of us are old acquaintances. Once we have made our decision, we will not change it. Thank you very much for your kindness." Qi Zhuji politely declined.
The young man in blue shirt's face stiffened slightly, and then his brows furrowed, as if he had never expected Qi Zhuji to make such a choice.
But he didn't say much. He turned around and left without saying a word.
"Who is this person?" Lin Yi said truthfully, "You look worse than Qi Zhuji."
Qi Zhuji just smiled, but before she could speak, Xiao Suxin said softly: "He is a descendant of the Xie family, Xie Suichun."
"Xie Zao's son?"
Lin Yi reacted, but he couldn't figure out what he had to do with this person.
Xie Tao was a famous bachelor in the world and was not an official in the court. But the key point is that he and Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan were close friends. Before Xiao Yan mutinied and ascended the throne, he, Xiao Yan and others, together, called
Known as the "Eight Friends of Jingling".
At this time, although he was not an official, what power did he have to be a brother to the emperor?
But before that, Lin Yi could be sure that neither he nor his father, Lin Wangbei, had any interaction with the Xie family.
"I don't think he really thinks highly of me. He just came over to invite you when he saw me with you." Qi Zhuji saw the change in Lin Yi's face and smiled slyly, "Lin Yi, you are quite powerful, I think.
You've only just arrived here on your first day and you've already made enemies."
"Really?"
Lin Yi shook his head. At this time, he couldn't help but miss Shi Jian.
He thought he was still gentler than Shi Yan, otherwise if Shi Yan was there, he might have reacted faster than him. He had just stopped Xie Suichun and asked him what was wrong with Lin Yi and whether he wanted to come and fight him.
"We are still missing one person, who else wants to be with us?" Qi Zhuji smiled faintly, but openly spoke out and said to the people around her. (To be continued)
