Phoenix’s Requiem - 178. Chapter 178

Twelve people all landed on the square one after another, and then Shui Yun and another white-robed man took them to the resting place.

Although the man is pretty long, but his face is serious, Yun Ruoyan heard Shuiyun call him Junior Brother Mo Yun. Xu is the reason why he doesn’t like to laugh. Yun Ruoyan thinks that Mo Yun is bigger than Shui Yun.

The accommodations for men and women are separate. Yun Ruoyan, Lin Qingchen and Lin Qingxue are taken west by Shuiyun to the women’s resting place, while Zhuo Yifeng followed Wang Meng and they were taken south by Mo Yun to the men’s resting place. Area.

The square is high. Yun Ruoyan followed Shuiyun out of the square, passing several stone roads and some gardens planted with exotic flowers and plants, and finally into a yard dedicated to women’s rest.

As soon as he entered the yard, Yun Ruoyan saw Yi Qianying and Rong Yueshan surrounded by a group of people, not knowing what they were talking about, and found that someone who entered the yard looked at Yun Ruoyan and the others.

As soon as Yun Ruoyan made eye contact with the two, he turned away indifferently and looked around the courtyard.

The yard is very large, and the houses are arranged in rows. It is estimated that there are dozens of rooms. At this time, most of the doors are closed.

“I don’t know why this year. By this time, the number of students coming is less than half of the list.” Shui Yun took Yun Ruoyan and a few people to a room on the south side, she said while opening the door.

“Senior Sister Shui Yun, we have something to report.” Yun Ruoyan said at this moment.

Shui Yun opened the door, turned around and looked at Yun Ruoyan and asked in confusion, “What do you want to report?”

Several people entered the house. Yun Ruoyan told Shui Yun about the horse thief on the road. Shui Yun frowned immediately after hearing this. She looked at Yun Ruoyan seriously and said, “Is this true?”

“Of course it is true.” Lin Qingxue on the side said: “This is what we saw with our own eyes. It would have been two days before our horse was poisoned to death.”

“Senior Sister, we won’t talk nonsense.” Lin Qingchen also said.

“Those students who did not arrive must have been poisoned to death by their mounts and could not arrive in time.” Yun Ruoyan said, “This matter is of great importance. Please tell me earlier.”

“Well, you guys rest first, I’ll go report it.” Shui Yun said as he turned and left.

There are exactly three beds in the room, and the three of them tidied up a bit and lay down to rest. After several days of riding and walking, the bodies of the three of them were very tired.

Yun Ruoyan wanted to take a bath especially now, but depending on the situation, this wish could not be realized for a while, so she had to give up.

When it’s dark, someone comes to deliver meals. The meals are brought in by a wooden cart, simple steamed buns, congee and side dishes.

Everyone lined up in the yard, and everyone received a copy. When receiving the food, Yun Ruoyan did not see Yi Qianying and Rong Yueshan, presumably they brought the food by themselves.

Normally after dinner, Yun Ruoyan will start to practice, but he will enter the trial ground at noon tomorrow. Lin Qingxue looks a little nervous. Although Lin Qingchen did not show it, she must be a little nervous in her heart.

In order to relieve this tension, Yun Ruoyan began to tease them. After talking for a while, the three of them felt sleepy. When they were about to turn off the lights and go to bed, Shuiyun knocked on the door of the room and said that someone wanted to see her.

Yun Ruoyan followed Shuiyun to another courtyard. She looked up and saw an old man with gray hair sitting on the main seat. Next to the old man stood a man in white robe, who was the senior brother Ling Yun. .

The old man started from left to right, and there were six people sitting in total. On the left were men in white robes, and on the right were three women in white robes.

According to Yun Ruoyan, they are all around 30 years old, and they should all be instructor-level figures.

Shui Yun introduced that sitting on the main seat is their master Cangshan, who is in charge of recruiting new students this time, and sitting on both sides are Shuiyun’s uncles, who are the students’ future instructors.

The purpose of calling Yun Ruoyan was to ask about the horse thief.

It turned out that after Shui Yun reported the incident in the evening, Ling Yun personally checked his sword along the road and found several teams whose mounts had been poisoned to death.

At this time, Kongming Academy had sent a group of children Yujian to greet him, and they called Yun Ruoyan over to inquire about some details.

Yun Ruoyan elaborated on what she had seen and heard, including how they discovered the horse thief and the weird situation after killing the horse thief.

Yun Ruoyan only narrated and did not reveal their speculation about the horse thief.

After listening to Yun Ruoyan’s narrative, Cangshan and the others became more serious. Yun Ruoyan’s expressions became more serious when she heard the whispered conversations between the two people. She also mentioned the medicine man, and the medicine master, she just bowed her head in silence and didn’t interrupt.

After the matter was finished, Cangshan ordered Shui Yun to send Yun Ruoyan back to the resting place, and was speechless all night.

On the morning of the second day, after breakfast, the three of them did the final practice in the house to ensure that they were in their best condition to meet the trials that came at noon.

“It’s the report of the nosy man in that room, so we have so many more opponents.” At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

The voice was strange, Yun Ruoyan didn’t know him.

“Miss Li’s family, my cousin lives in that house, what happened?” Yi Qianying’s voice sounded outside the house.

“Didn’t we meet some teams that lost their mounts along the way?” said Miss Li’s family.

“Yeah, what’s the matter?” Yi Qianying asked.

“In order to express herself, your cousin rushed to report the situation. As a result, the academy sent people Yujian and took dozens of students overnight, and we suddenly added dozens of competitors.” Li Miss Jia said irritably.

It turns out that most of the students who arrived at Kongming Academy encountered teams whose mounts were stolen along the way, but they did not see them in order to reduce their competitors, and none of them reported. Yun Ruoyan’s move this time has undoubtedly become a bird of prominence.

“My cousin has always been so pushy. When she was at home, she loved to behave in front of her elders. I didn’t expect that this stinking problem could not be corrected when she came here. There is really no way.” Yi Qianying added fuel to the fire.

“You can’t get used to this stinking problem, she will have to be treated sooner or later.” Miss Li’s words didn’t seem like a good stubble.

Lin Qingxue suddenly stood up from the bed after hearing this.

“Qing Xue.” Yun Ruoyan said, “Sit down.”

“Sister Ruoyan, they told you this deliberately. If they don’t go out, they think we are bullied!” Lin Qingxue is anxious and fierce temperament, and she can’t stand someone shouting at her door.

“That’s two mad dogs.” Yun Ruoyan didn’t open her eyes, “It’s okay to bark.”

“But this Miss Li’s family is a bit weird.”

Yun Ruoyan thought to herself that there was no outsider when she reported to Shuiyun. It was at night when Shuiyun came to her last night, and no one saw it. This Miss Li Jia would know that she was the one who made the report. There is only one possibility for this to happen. The Li family’s eyeliner was among the people present yesterday.

“Do you know this Miss Li family?” Yun Ruoyan opened his eyes and asked Lin Qingxue.

She and Lin Qingxue don’t like to socialize, so they are not familiar with the children of the family in the imperial city. Only Lin Qingxue is a friend of a few children of the family.

“I don’t know.” Lin Qingxue replied, she was still sulking, “I met her in the clean room yesterday. She has a big nose. It’s not like we are away from the country, but like that remote stranger. Chinese.”

“She is from Moguo.” This was beyond Yun Ruoyan’s expectation.

Towards noon, the bell in the square rang again, and someone came to inform everyone to gather in the square.

An hour later, more than one hundred students gathered in the huge square. Yun Ruoyan, Lin Qingchen, and Lin Qingxue stood in one of the teams.

Yun Ruoyan saw Zhuo Yifeng from a distance, and waved to him, pulling him into his team.

After everyone had assembled, Cangshan stood on the high platform, reading out the rules and precautions of the trial.

“The number of people who passed this trial is twenty.”

When Cangshan said this sentence, there was an uproar in the square.

“Why are so few people recruited this time?”

“I don’t know what’s going on. In previous years, at least 30 people were recruited!”

“Could it be because there were fewer students this time?”

The original quota limit has already made everyone very nervous, and the sudden reduction in quota has caused a commotion.

Fewer recruits means more fierce competition, and more discussions are voices of dissatisfaction.

“Hand over all the storage utensils on your body and the spirit tools above the fifth grade.” When Cangshan said this, the noise on the square became louder.

“Why still have to hand in storage equipment?!”

“Why do you still have to hand in the spirit weapon?!”

“Yeah, all the things I prepared are in my storage ring. Don’t you just have nothing left when you hand it over?”

“Stop talking, take something important and hide it on your body.”

“Stop the noise!” This sound was made by Ling Yunzi beside Cangshan. He used his spiritual power. Although the voice was not harsh, it echoed very loudly on the square, and the noise of everyone was reduced.

Cangshan continued: “This year, due to some reasons, only 113 people from the 200 trainees originally issued were present. Therefore, after consultation with the elders of the academy, in order to ensure the quality of the trainees who finally enter the Kongming Academy, the original number will be proportionally changed. The quota of 35 students has been reduced to 20.”

“What’s going on, how could this be?!” Most people were surprised by this decision.

“I thought there were fewer people coming, so I could have fewer competitors. I would have lent horses to those without horses on the way when I came here.” Someone said annoyedly.

“Sister Ruoyan, shouldn’t some careful people say that we are troublesome now?” Lin Qingxue said loudly, and the backs of Miss Li Jia and Yi Qianying standing in front of them were stiff. Don’t send.

Of the 113 students, only 20 were recruited in the end, which meant that 93 people would not be able to become students of Kongming Academy, and the competition was quite fierce.

“The rule for recruiting personnel for the trial is…” Seeing Cangshan’s point, everyone consciously stopped talking, and the square was quiet.

Cangshan glanced across the crowd and then said: “Three days is the limit. After three days, according to the number and grade of the inner core pill and spirit grass obtained, sort from high to low, until the 20th place is filled.”
