C36 (1/2)
”Little brother, how did you do that?” Yu Tian Xiang looked curiously at Lu Que. Although this Ran Zhao roamed among the flowers and did not have a good reputation in the imperial city, he was still the son of the Marquis of Wenchang after all. His talents were considered average in this talented Phoenix Cry School. Yu Tian Xiang never expected that Lu Que would cause her to lose face so easily.
Seeing that there were a lot of people around, looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, Lu Que smiled and shook his head, refusing to answer Yu Tian Xiang's question. When Lu Que was speaking, his left hand that was hidden in his sleeve formed a seal with the name 'Heart Reflection'. He did not plan for it, so he allowed Ran Zhao to follow his words. However, this was not something that could be said in front of the crowd.
Gu Qingcheng also noticed the inquiring gazes of the crowd. She hurriedly said, ”The three of you are in the same school, Golden Scale Valley's No.7 courtyard. I'll bring you there right away.”
”Oh, Qingcheng, Golden Scale Valley is a place for male students after all. It would be inconvenient for you to go, so I'll take them there.” Cloudstrings, who had been standing at the side without a word, finally spoke up.
”What is it? You mean I can't enter the Golden Scale Valley? ” Gu Qingcheng looked at him with displeasure.
”I didn't mean that.” Yun Xian quickly explained, ”It's just that there are many new students in and out of Golden Scale Valley today. As a woman, it's not good for you to go in and out of the valley.”
Gu Qingcheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Que, ”Sister Qingcheng, Brother Yun is right, Golden Scale Valley is a place for male students. It would be inconvenient for you to go, so please bring us there.”
”Are you looking down on your sister?”
”I would not dare.” Lu Que hurriedly clasped his hands together. He had known Gu Qingcheng for almost half a year and he knew that this sister of his was not to be trifled with. How about this, when we get back to clean up, I'll take care of everything at noon, and invite you and Sister Tian Xiang to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion for lunch? ”
”Really?” Gu Qingcheng's eyes lit up. They had known each other for so long, this was the first time Lu Que treated her to a meal.
”Little brother would not dare to lie to big sister.”
”Then that's good.” Gu Qingcheng's bright eyes looked at Lu Que for a few moments before she nodded, ”Do you need me to bring you a few more beautiful sisters to get to know?”
”This, there's no need.”
”How can I not use it?” Seeing that Lu Que was about to open his mouth and refuse, Zhuge Yan became a little anxious. ”Everyone will be studying in the same academy in the future, so of course we'll have to get closer. Besides, isn't that right, Duanmu Huanghun?” As he spoke, he hit Duanmu Ye twice with his shoulder.
”Me … Me …” Duanmu Ye scratched his head.
Before Duanmu Ye could finish his sentence, Zhuge Yan continued, ”You see, Duanmu had the same intention as Duanmu Ye. However, he was too embarrassed to say it.”
Lu Que shook his head and smiled wryly when he saw Zhuge Yan's appearance.
Zhuge Yan walked to the side of Gu Qingcheng and Yu Tian Xiang. Unconsciously, he rubbed his hands together and said with a face full of smiles, ”Princess, Sister Gu, can you bring Lady Yun Chang along?”
”You …” Yu Tian laughed as she patted Zhuge Yan.
”That will depend on your performance. If Lu Que dares to refuse the contract, you know the consequences.” Gu Qingcheng whispered in a low voice.
”Leave it on me. Even if I have to tie it up, bring it here.” Zhuge Yan patted her chest.
”Little brother, then you should go to the school to familiarize yourselves with the materials.” Little brother, then you should go to the school to familiarize yourselves with the materials. ”I think you like it. I sent someone to send a few knives to your room. You use them first, but when you're done, I'll have someone send them to you.” Yu Tian Xiang said gently, as if she was her own sister, as she smoothed the non-existent wrinkles on Lu Que's clothes.
”Then I'll have to thank sister Tian Xiang.” Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Que cupped his hands together and said in embarrassment, ”We'll be going now. See you at noon.”
Seeing Yun Xian leading Lu Que and the other two towards the Golden Scale Valley, Gu Qingcheng walked beside Yu Tian Xiang and said, ”He likes brocade clouds and snow, you should tell me. It's his first time entering the academy, so I'm worried that I don't know what to give him.”
”Qingcheng, I can give you this note, but you can't.” Yu Tian Xiang looked at Gu Qingcheng as she seriously spoke.
”Why?” Although the brocade cloud snow letter was worth a lot of money, to Gu Qingcheng, it was nothing.
”Faint and intoxicated with the flow of thoughts, endless lamentation, cloud travel, and then dip in thick ink, love is fresh. Meng Xing's tears dried up, and his ten thousand strands of love were all spent. He felt sorry for her today, and found it hard to put into words what he felt for her. I am his elder sister. I can give this brocade clouds and snow letter to you, but you cannot. ” Yu Tian Xiang muttered.
”Tian Xiang, don't tell me you …” Gu Qingcheng stared at Yu Tian Xiang in astonishment.
”You're thinking too much.” Yu Tian Xiang smiled a little unnaturally. ”It's almost time for the new students to report. We should make some preparations.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Yu Tian Xiang who had walked to the side, then at Lu Que and a few others who had already left. She frowned.
”I didn't expect that we would be able to be divided into two. But, is this C # 7 courtyard a beauty's house or a high-class one?” Duanmu Ye said somewhat excitedly.
”Didn't Elder Lei tell you?” Yun Xin, who had been walking at the front without saying a word, suddenly spoke.
”Master didn't say that.”
”Both the Golden Scale Valley and the Wutong Valley are for the Imperial Academy students to live in. They are arranged according to the order of the heavens, with the five characters of A, B, C, D as the Li Shi and the Gui Hengxin as the Upper House.” Although he and Lu Que were rivals in love, Yun Xian, who was known as Young Master Yu, still carefully explained the Golden Scale Valley's layout to them.
Lu Que, who came to the Golden Scale Valley for the first time, discovered that the layout of the buildings and the decorations on the pavilions were much more detailed than the Red Leaf Valley he had visited before. Each building was carved and decorated, and it could be said to be a pavilion with every five steps and a scene with every ten steps.
Furthermore, Lu Que discovered that the courtyard houses in the valley were not only divided according to the number of words in the sky. There were only twelve courtyards, which was the same as the twelve buildings in the valley. Counting the total population of Golden Scale Valley, there were only four hundred and eighty people. Including the symmetrical Wu Tong Valley, there were at most nine hundred and sixty students in the entire Imperial Court, less than a thousand.
Yun Xian seemed to have seen through Lu Que's doubts and explained to him, ”The imperial courts of the Nine University Palace are all strict. It's not easy to enter this place but it's even more difficult to successfully graduate from here. I am not sure about the other academies, but ever since our Phoenix Cry School was built, the Golden Scale Valley has never been full. ”
Zhuge Yan was aware of this long ago, so he didn't have much of a reaction. On the other hand, Lu Que and Duanmu Ye were secretly clicking their tongues in their hearts. There were hundreds of millions of people living in the Great Gan City, so how many talented people were there? But if even the Phoenix's Cry School, known as the First College of the Great Gan, had not been full, then there was no need to even mention the other academies. From this, one could see how difficult it was to successfully complete your studies in the academy.
”Brother Yun.” At this moment, Zhuge Yan spoke up, ”Are the privileges of the Imperial Court the same as before?”
”Privileges of the Imperial Court?” Duanmu Ye, who had been silent all this time, looked at Zhuge Yan in astonishment. ”What is the privilege of the Imperial Court? Don't tell me that the Imperial Court has other privileges as well?”
”Since it's the Imperial Court, it naturally has its own special privileges.” Zhuge Yan showed off, ”The greatest privilege of the Imperial Court is that you don't have to attend classes. If you encounter any problems, you can ask the teachers of the academy directly. As long as you pass the end of the year exam, no one will care what you usually do.”
”You don't need to go to class?” Duanmu Ye was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect the Imperial Court, which was so difficult to enter, to be so lax in its lessons.
”Zhuge Yan is right. This is indeed the privilege of the Royal Academy. However, there is one thing he didn't say. The entrance examination results are divided into five grades, A, B, and D. As long as a student of the Royal Academy is below B, they will be expelled from the Imperial Court.” Yun Xing Si looked at the few of them and then shifted his gaze onto Lu Que.
Excluding Gu Qingcheng's reasons, Yun Xian had no choice but to admit that Lu Que was even more outstanding than his father at that time. He was also very curious about how long it would take for Lu Que, the second person to reach the thirty-sixth grade in the Great Gan Empire and create such a big commotion during the new year, to finish his work in the Imperial Court. When he thought of the upcoming battle for the position of the Academy's Head, Yun Xian, who was usually gentle and gentle, could not help but feel a tinge of fighting spirit in his heart. It was just that he was not sure if Lu Que would participate in the battle for the position of Head.
Lu Que had already become the knot in Yun Xian's heart. Only by fair and square defeating him in the competition for the top spot would Yun Xian be able to continue pursuing Gu Qingcheng.
He said to the three of them, ”This is the C Seventh Courtyard, I won't be going in. The front yard is a place for you to entertain guests, and the back yard is divided into four smaller courtyards. There are wooden signs for each of your names in front of the entrance. Go and find them yourself.”
