Chapter Three Hundred and Forty Two – Nan Yue’s Little Yao Arts

Nan Yue walked into the yao art house as usual. Her expression was calm. She met many classmates and good friends along the way. Everyone chatted but no one had the carefree expressions they usually had. The mood was slightly tense.

Today was the annual house exam. The results of the exam would greatly determine their future fate. The Purple Lotus Yao Art House wasn’t a famous house, but it had some influence in this jie. This could not be separated from their strict exam.

“A Yue!”

A familiar shout came from behind her. Without needing to turn her head, Nan Yue knew who it was. She stopped walking, turned around, and said curiously, “Hong, aren’t you exempt from the exam? Why are you here?”

Hong was Nan Yue’s best friend. They knew each other from childhood and had a close relationship. Hong came from a very obscure little clan. However, this clan’s yao were all skilled in illusory yao arts from birth. Hong naturally studied those yao arts. Due to her outstanding talent, Hong had been accepted as a student by a teacher when she entered the yao art house.

Hong did not need to go through the exam so Nan Yue felt shock at Hong’s appearance.

Hong was dressed colorfully and had a blooming smile on her face. “I came to see your exam. How can I miss such an important time?”

Nan Yue was very moved, and said, “It’s just an exam. There is no need to be nervous.”

“En en, with A Yue’s strength, it definitely wouldn’t be a problem.” Hong was filled with confidence. She suddenly came over with a secretive expression and said in a low voice, “They said that a daren from the Creeping Sedges Corps.”

“A daren from the Creeping Sedges Corps?” Nan Yue stilled and then her expression changed. “The Creeping Sedge Corps of Bing Lan Daren?”

Hong was very satisfied with Nan Yue’s expression and giggled. “Other than Bing Lan Daren’s Creeping Sedges Corps, where is there any other Creeping Sedges Corps? How about it, are you moved?”

Other than being taken as a student by a teacher, going into the military was also a pretty good path. In the military, one would be able to learn many practical yao arts, and when enough service was accumulated, it was possible to learn more profound yao arts. Right now, the fighting at the front was raging, and this was the best chance to accumulate service.

Nan Yue smiled and didn’t speak. If she had not encountered Daren, she would definitely be moved. But right now, she did not have any extraneous thoughts.

It was great honor to be able to follow Daren!

She was not clear to Elder’s identity, but there was a point that was undoubtable, Elder had a deep history with the Wisteria Clan of the South Sky. In these past days, she was left full of respect towards Elder. She could clearly feel her own strength leaping forward.

The nondescript little yao arts actually contained such deep meaning.

Nan Yue’s indifference was unexpected to Hong. She made a sound of surprise and re-examined her good friend. Nan Yue did not look any different than usual. She still wore plain clothing, but there seemed to be something extra to her. But what was it? Hong could not say.

“A Yue, did something happen recently?” Hong asked probingly.

“Nothing.” Nan Yue shook her head. Seeing Hong’s concern, her heart warmed. She hesitated but did not speak of Elder to Hong. Without Daren’s permission, she did not dare to carelessly speak of it.

However, Creeping Sedge Corps … …

In the past, entering Creeping Sedge Corps was one of her goals.

The mood of the yao art house was tense, and slightly restless. The news that a daren from the Creeping Sedge Corps came to see the exams made every student participating in the exams excited. Creeping Sedge Corps was very strong, and Bing Lan Daren was immeasurable in her power. Bing Lan Daren was also very beautiful, and the dream of countless male students.

For female yao, being able to enter the Creeping Sedge Corps was a good route.

Afterwards, Nan Yue saw the daren that came from the Creeping Sedge Corps. This daren’s figure was upright and she was handsome and attractive. Her golden eyes were especially enchanting. This daren most likely came from the Gold Clan. Standing on the stage, a sharp presence filled the room.

Nan Yue found that this presence was stronger than the great majority of teachers in this yao art house. The yao art house teachers may have deeper skill on the yao arts, but compared to the combat yao that came back from the front lines, they were lacking in their killing aura.

Many students became excited. It was rare to be able to enter a military troop like the Creeping Sedge Corps that was known all over the yao world. Without any encouragement, every yao was filled with competitiveness.

The exam began with this anticipation and restlessness.

The exam this time was much fiercer than in the past, but Nan Yue was not excited at all. Purple Lotus Yao Art House was not a famed house, and there were only those few familiar faces. There were no new people that made her eyes light up.

Also, these novel yao arts that she would have been excited about before could not cause any ripples in her heart.

She felt very strange.

It was the first time she felt so strange. In her eyes, those grand and dazzling yao arts seemed to be insubstantial. Her mind would uncontrollably think of little yao art combinations that could replace these dazzling yao arts.

This feeling made her uncomfortable. Before, she would be excited when she saw this yao arts and she would constantly rehearse them in her mind.

She silently warned herself to not be proud. She could not underestimate everyone just because she learned something. She suddenly thought about Elder talking of little yao arts to her that day. She remembered every word that Elder had said.

Suddenly, Hong poked her from the side. “A Yue, it’s your turn.”

“Oh,” she responded. She refocused and looked at the exam area. Focusing her mind, she flew to the field.

Her opponent was Shi Zheng. This was a familiar opponent. Shi Zheng’s experiences were very similar to hers. He also worked very hard, but similarly, no teacher had accepted him. However, he was older than Nan Yue, making his situation even worse.

———

When Shi Zheng saw Nan Yue, he was joyed. The yao arts he was skilled in could subdue Nan Yue to a certain extent.

“Begin!”
