Although Yangshan has been declining in recent years, the emaciated camels are bigger than horses. Yangshan, which is known as a holy mountain, is still unattainable for the people of Yingshui County.
When the Immortal Seeking Conference held every few years, Xia Yue City was still overcrowded.
Young talents from all over Yingshui County lined up in the outer courtyard of Xia Yue College. There were special deacons there to screen these young talents. Age, talent, and cultivation were all criteria for review.
Once they enter the inner courtyard, it means that they have received initial recognition. In the next step, the five major academies will send their disciples to conduct further review of those young talents, including family affairs, talent and learning, or directly extending an olive branch.
In fact, talent is withering in Yangshan today. As long as the disciples who enter the inner courtyard do not have too many problems with their conduct and are reasonably satisfied with the assigned academy, they will almost always be recruited into one of the five major academies in Yangshan. The difference is
It just doesn't matter which college. On the contrary, major colleges often fight over the affiliation of some outstanding disciples.
When Li Danqing brought Xia Xianyin and Wang Xiaoxiao to the inner courtyard, the talent search meeting was already in full swing. The four deans were sitting on the high platform in the main hall of Xia Yueyuan, with a desk in front of them and tea on it.
Pastry, whispering to each other from time to time, commenting on the disciples in the audience.
The young talents were lined up in the inner courtyard, and deacons from various colleges shuttled among them, asking them about their wishes. As you came and went, from time to time someone would receive a disciple badge representing a different college. The scene was
So lively.
Li Danqing can be regarded as a famous figure in Yangshan today. His arrival naturally attracted the attention of everyone present, but there was some weirdness and joking in those eyes, but Li Danqing did not have the slightest awareness of this.
On the contrary, he smiled and waved to everyone with great enjoyment, as if he were a general returning in triumph, and his eyes swept back and forth on the many disciples participating in the academy selection. Among them, any woman with a slightly outstanding appearance would inevitably be looked up and down by Li Danqing.
, and even a deliberate wink.
Most of the female disciples who participated in the selection had heard about Li Danqing, and they avoided looking at Li Danqing, and the disgust on their faces was not concealed. Xia Xianyin saw all this, and then
When she caught a glimpse of Li Danqing, who was still flirting with the female disciples without realizing it, she secretly felt embarrassed. She would not take care of Li Danqing, so she stretched out her foot and kicked Li Danqing hard in the waist. She was caught off guard.
Li Danqing was caught off guard and staggered, almost falling to the ground, which caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding onlookers.
Li Danqing, who was a bit worried, turned around with a sullen look on his face, and was about to retaliate, but he happened to meet Xia Xianyin's murderous gaze. His Royal Highness immediately stopped, turned around dejectedly, and restrained his "calling for bees" just now
As if to attract butterflies, he came to the steps in front of the main hall honestly.
Li Danqing, who was standing in the audience, looked up at the four deans sitting at attention on the steps and frowned.
"I said!"
He said this with a loud voice that spread throughout the inner courtyard. Everyone in the inner courtyard who had just stopped all looked at Li Danqing again, and the four deans on the high platform also lowered their heads.
Looked down.
After catching a glimpse of Li Danqing, the four people had different expressions, but before they could respond, they saw Li Danqing pointing at them and saying in a very dissatisfied manner: "Where is my seat?"
"This guy really thinks of himself as the dean! He wants to be on equal footing with us!" Yang Tong, who was over sixty years old at Chunliu College, was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He grabbed the armrests of the wooden chair with both hands and whispered in his mouth.
road.
Zhang Qian, the dean of Dongqing Academy, responded calmly: "He is the dean of Dafeng Academy. Logically speaking, he is indeed qualified to sit with us."
Bai Sushui frowned and was unwilling to participate in the dispute between the two. He just turned to look at Zhao Quan who was sitting in the first seat and said softly: "Brother, it is really unpleasant for this Crown Prince Li to be so domineering, but according to etiquette, since we
Given that he is given the position of the dean of Dafeng Academy, we must not neglect these details, lest the facts fall into place."
When Yang Tong heard this, he understood that Bai Sushui was also on Zhang Qian's side. He snorted coldly, his beard raised by the heavy breath in his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
Zhao Quan nodded after hearing these words, and then looked at Li Danqing with a smile and said: "My nephew is here, come up quickly, the place has been prepared for you long ago!"
After that, two disciples behind him brought a pair of wooden chairs and a desk from a short distance away, and placed them in the center of the four deans' positions - Dafengyuan is nominally Yangshan.
As the head of the five major colleges, Li Danqing is the dean, so it is understandable to sit among everyone.
And Li Danqing, who is "very happy with his success", is obviously very satisfied with this arrangement. He said: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk..."
After he said this, he started to walk up the steps, and Wang Xiaoxiao and Xia Xianyin behind him quickly followed.
But just as he took his steps, a figure stopped in front of Li Danqing.
It was a young man in a black gown, about in his early twenties, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist and a jade hairpin on his head. Li Danqing could tell at just one glance that these two items were of great value and were definitely not something that a person from an ordinary family could possess.
thing.
"This is Qin Huaiyi of Chunliu College."
The young man said this, then nothing more, he just looked at Li Danqing condescendingly, as if he was waiting for something, his brows were full of arrogance.
"oh."
But it was obvious that Li Danqing was not an opponent that could be judged by common sense. He responded calmly and immediately turned sideways, trying to avoid Qin Huaiyi and get on the high platform.
Qin Huaiyi frowned, with a look of sullenness on his face. He moved again and stopped in front of Li Danqing: "Prince Li, my father is Qin Chengxian, the governor of Yingshui County! I came to look for the crown prince today because...
…”
"Qin Chengxian? I know! Back then, your father wanted to send you or your brother into the White Wolf Army, but the money he brought was too little, so it didn't happen. Now you are looking for me, but I am powerless now. But I
The prince is gifted with extraordinary talent. In the future, when he becomes a martial lord, he will be protected by a sacred mountain. You can invest some silver taels in this prince’s. Let’s give him ten thousand taels first. In the future, my prince’s sacred mountain will be sealed by you, and I promise you to be the guardian of the mountain.
How are you, General?" Li Danqing had a look of surprise on his face, and then he said it very familiarly, and stretched out his hand and looked at Qin Huaiyi sincerely, as if he believed in me and you would earn something.
Qin Huaiyi could not keep up with Li Danqing's out-of-the-box thinking. He was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, an angry look appeared on his face.
"You're talking nonsense!" Qin Huaiyi's face turned red and he said loudly: "My father is an upright man, and everyone in Yingshui County knows it! How is it possible..."
Halfway through saying this, Qin Huaiyi seemed to have thought of something, and the anger on his face softened slightly.
He coughed twice to calm down the surging emotions in his chest, and then looked at Li Danqing and said: "Prince Li, there is no need to provoke me! There is a public opinion on right and wrong in this world. The lies told by villains are deceitful.
It cannot protect all sentient beings.”
"I came here today not to have a verbal dispute with the Crown Prince, but to ask the Crown Prince what exactly did you do to Junior Sister Bai yesterday!?"
Li Danqing secretly felt confused. He was dragged by Xia Xianyin yesterday to practice until midnight before he could rest. Except for Wang Xiaoxiao and Xia Xianyin, he had never seen a living person.
When he thought of this, he was about to say something, but Wang Xiaoxiao behind him said first: "Yesterday, our dean stayed in the room the whole time, and we didn't see any white junior sisters or black junior sisters at all!"
Wang Xiaoxiao's sudden voice made Qin Huaiyi frown. He looked over at Li Danqing and sneered at Wang Xiaoxiao: "Who are you? How can you speak here!"
Wang Xiaoxiao looked tall, but in fact he was a bit timid. When Qin Huaiyi yelled at him, he immediately lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
Xia Xianyin frowned, feeling unhappy and about to say something, when she heard Li Danqing suddenly say something.
"Xiao Xiao is a disciple of my Dafeng Academy, and you are a disciple of Chunliu Academy..."
"Here, if you can say it, my Xiaoxiao can also say it, and if you can't say it, he can also say it!"
"What? Mr. Qin wants to bring your father's official authority to Yangshan? Then have you ever asked the deans on the stage what they mean!?"
Hearing this, Xia Xianyin looked at Li Danqing with bright eyes, secretly thinking that this guy was not without merit, at least he knew how to take advantage of the situation. No matter how courageous Qin Huaiyi was, he would not dare to do this again in front of the deans of Yangshan.
Go on as wildly as possible.
Qin Huaiyi's face turned cold, his lips trembled, and the angry words on his lips were finally unable to be uttered due to Li Danqing's words.
He hesitated on the spot for a while, then suddenly a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he turned towards Li Danqing and said: "Prince Li is extremely talented. As soon as he arrives at Yangshan, he will be entrusted with important tasks by the deans. I think it is indeed true."
Because of his extraordinary abilities, several of Qin Huaiyi's junior disciples have long admired the prince, and today they are bold and want to ask the prince to teach him something!"
After Qin Huaiyi said this, several disciples dressed in black
He suddenly stepped out, came to Li Danqing, raised his hand towards Li Danqing and said loudly: "Please give me some advice, Your Majesty!"
Xia Xianyin frowned, and the short knife slipped from his sleeve at that moment, and he stepped forward.
"Xia Siming! I am a martial artist in Yangshan, and it is common for fellow sects to compete and compete with each other. Do you think these matters are not under the control of Tianjian Director?" But at this moment, Zhao Quan on the high platform suddenly spoke loudly.
He squinted his eyes and stared at Xia Xianyin. A terrifying aura came and enveloped Xia Xianyin's body. Xia Xianyin's face turned pale. She raised her head and glanced at the suddenly angry Dean of Xia Yueyin, and retracted her frown.
The short knife in the hand.
But Xia Xianyin has been working in Tianjian Division for so many years, and is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. Although he cannot help directly, he suddenly said loudly: "Li Danqing is Li Mulin's son. I have been ordered by the emperor to protect him. Please, please
It's okay to compete, but if you hurt him even a little bit, it's a serious crime of treason! You should carefully consider your actions."
After saying this, she scanned the people present with her eyes, and her threats were obvious. The disciples who were pushed out by Qin Huaiyi also looked a little ugly when they heard the word "treason".
Of course, Zhao Quan heard Xia Xianyin's partiality. He raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised. But he did not show it, but smiled and said loudly: "Swords are silent, and damage is inevitable. You all, although
Give it a try, if Xia Siming really wants to pursue the case, I, the dean, will take it upon himself."
After saying this, Zhao Quan looked at Li Danqing in the audience and said with a smile: "It seems that this is the first time that Dafeng Academy has participated in our Yangshan Talent Search Conference in more than ten years. According to the rules, if
Dafeng Academy has not recruited any disciples this year, so you, my nephew, will have to be removed from the position of dean. Now that all the young talents from Yingshui County have gathered here, my nephew can just take this opportunity to show off his cultivation.
Let them know that Dafengyuan is also a good place, what does your nephew think?"
Xia Xianyin frowned a little deeper when she heard this. She also remembered the terms mentioned in the document signed by Li Danqing. Thinking about everything that happened in the talent search meeting in front of her, it seemed more like
A conspiracy that has been planned for a long time.
Li Danqing was already riding a tiger. If he didn't fight, he would be canceled by everyone present. Naturally, it would be difficult to recruit students. But if he fights... Judging from the results of yesterday's sparring between Xia Xianyin and Xia Xianyin, it will obviously end in an ugly end.
Thinking of this, Xia Xianyin couldn't help but look at Li Danqing nervously.
It seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince also realized the seriousness of the situation. He lowered his head and remained silent. That appearance made Xia Xianyin inexplicably feel distressed.
She has also experienced the feeling of being cornered...
How about taking him out of here...
Escort him back to Wuyang City and report all this to the court one by one. I want to come...
Xia Xianyin thought secretly in her heart.
"Then let's fight!" But at this moment, the prince suddenly raised his head and looked firmly at Zhao Quan on the high platform. The midday sun shone down and fell on the side of his face, and the corners of his mouth raised.
, eyebrows were clear, and at that moment, Li Danqing's eyes seemed to be shining with dazzling light.
Xia Xianyin was stunned, and her heart trembled slightly. For some reason, she secretly felt that Li Danqing at this moment was a little dazzling, making it difficult to look away.
It turns out that he... also has such brave times...
Zhao Quan didn't seem to expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would make such a decision. He was also stunned and was about to nod.
But the next moment, Li Danqing suddenly came to Wang Xiaoxiao, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Xiaoxiao heavily on the shoulder, and said seriously.
"As the saying goes, soldiers will fight against soldiers, and they will fight against generals."
"Also, why use a butcher's knife to kill a pig?"
"Xiao Xiao, as a disciple of my Dafeng Academy, you should represent our Dafeng Academy to face the disciples of Chunliu Academy!"
"Don't worry, as long as you use the special skills that the dean entrusts to you every day, defeating these guys will be as simple as slaughtering chickens and dogs! Go ahead!"
Wang Xiaoxiao secretly admired the courage of his dean, but he never expected that the baton would suddenly fall into his hands. He muttered to himself dully: "But I'm not a disciple... I'm just a protector..."
"Now you are! This dean officially accepts you as a disciple! Go!" Li Danqing didn't give him any chance to refute. After saying this, he pushed Wang Xiaoxiao in front of everyone.
Xia Xianyin on the side held her forehead and sighed: You really shouldn't have any expectations for this guy...
