The East Island Tianji and the Three Examination Hall.
Today is the first day for outer disciples to enter the inner sect, which is called the written examination.
There are 327 outer disciples inside and outside the main hall. On each rosewood table is a small white jade incense burner. The rising fragrant mist helps to refresh the mind.
There are eighty-eight written test papers on the desk.
Ling Luo was staring at the thirty-seventh picture in a daze. The familiar scent of Tianji wood in her nose did not help her calm down, but instead stimulated her forehead to twitch.
She looked at the pen in her hand somewhat blankly, then raised her head and looked around.
There were crowds of people wearing the same dark green uniform, and the belts of both men and women were engraved with Tianji's mountain entry talisman.
The girl on her left raised her head, the green teardrops on her ears were shiny and beautiful. When she met Lingluo's slightly confused gaze, she smiled softly and said silently: Come on.
Everything is the same as it was back then.
Ling Luo took a deep breath and looked back at the case file on the table with complicated eyes.
When she died together with the heaven, she had no attachment to this world.
She should have been sleeping in the eternal night, but when she opened her eyes, she returned to the age of sixteen.
At this time, she was still an outer disciple of Dongdao Tianji.
But after she became a demon, she slaughtered half of the people in Dongdao Tianji.
She is the direct disciple of the third leader of Dongdao Tianji, the pride of her master, the most favored sister among the direct disciples, the most respected sister of the Yu generation - but she is also a female devil who broke into the forbidden area, killed the leader, betrayed the righteous path, and was hunted down by thousands of disciples swore to die.
It can be said that things in this world are unpredictable.
Lingluo sighed in her heart and picked up the pen to answer the questions lazily.
So what if she could do it again? Did Tiandao think she would change her decision?
Ling Luo was not too surprised about her rebirth. She even felt a little bored. If this was a conspiracy of heaven, she was afraid that she would disappoint the other party.
If she were to live her life over again, she would walk the same path again.
Those who you want to save must be saved, and those who you want to kill must be killed.
Dongdao Tianji is one of the twelve major immortal gates in the world, and all the immortal gates in Dongdao are headed by it.
There are three sects within the sect, each with three leaders.
Ling Luo glanced at the podium. The man sitting at the top had a small mustache and a bloated body. The flesh on both sides of his cheeks trembled when he smiled.
He sat cross-legged on a white velvet carpet, and used the power of his sword to suspend the carpet above the ground.
Master Fan of Tianyun Sect is the invigilator today.
This man appears to be smiling, kind-looking, and easy to talk to, but he is actually a loyal supporter of the Tianji Sect's rules. He abides by the sect's rules.
So when he found out that the disciples of his sect were cheating, Hall Master Fan flicked his fingers on the table, and smoke came out of the incense burner. The cheating disciple at the table fainted on the table after smelling the fragrance and was taken away by the inner disciples who were patrolling the scene.
Hall Master Fan said with a smile: "Deal with him according to Article 163 of the sect's rules. Take off your sect uniform, erase the Skynet mark, and expel you from the sect."
In her previous life, Ling Luo was fully focused at this time, answering questions hard in order to enter the inner gate.
Now he seemed a little nonchalant, and even took the time to look back at the excitement.
Her seat was in the last row of the inner hall. The thirty-two doors of the hall folded, and at a glance, she could see neatly arranged tables and desks under the long steps outside the hall.
The inner disciples patrolling the field were dressed in white robes and gold belts. Both the fabric and the patterns and talismans were more exquisite and beautiful than those of the outer disciples.
“Focus.”
A jade flute tapped lightly on her desk, and the inner sect disciple who came to her side reminded her softly.
Lingluo was slightly stunned when she heard the voice.
She turned her head to look at the table, and out of the corner of her eye she glanced at the young man in white clothes and a gold belt beside her.
She tied her hair up with a jade crown, put one hand behind her back, and with the other hand she held the emerald jade flute, turned it in a circle, and then placed it across her waist. There were sparkling spots falling from the jade flute, which was a rare high-quality weapon.
The young man had a calm demeanor, a fair face, thin eyebrows, and beautiful almond-shaped eyes, but he did not look cold, but rather modest and gentle.
One of the three masters' favorite disciples.
Yu Xiu.
Her once beloved second senior brother.
Meeting old friends again, the sense of reality of rebirth became even stronger.
Lingluo imitated Yu Xiu, turning the brush in her hand in a circle, and then drops of ink fell onto the paper.
Yu Xiu: “…”
Lingluo suppressed the smile on her lips and continued to answer the questions with a straight posture.
Yu Xiu couldn't help but lower his eyebrows and glanced at her. The handwriting of this outer sect sister was neat and she had answered all the questions correctly, but her mentality of watching the fun and her playful posture just now seemed a little naughty.
In her previous life, Ling Luo scored full marks in the written test, but in this life she was lost in thought over a few questions.
At the beginning, she was very hardworking and motivated. As an outer sect disciple, she spent all her time studying and practicing martial arts. After all, she came to Dongdao Tianji to avoid being hunted down. Before entering the inner sect, she did not interact with others, spoke little, and had a low sense of presence.
It was not until the annual outer sect entrance examination that she scored first place in both the written and martial arts examinations, entered the inner sect, and was accepted as a personal disciple by the third sect leader that she attracted attention.
It was a memory so old that Lingluo took some time to think about it before she could remember it.
From noon to dusk, the wood fragrance burns out.
Master Fan said, "Stop writing. Today's three exams are over. Let's go back."
Lingluo stood up and left with the team.
Once outside the hall and out of Hall Master Fan's sight, everyone relaxed and started talking.
"I hate that my last volume ended without even writing a single word!"
"It's too difficult, too difficult, Mom, this year's questions are too difficult, wuwuwu——"
"Who was taken away before? How dare they cheat under the nose of Master Fan?"
"Brother! Brother, what did you choose for the last question of Volume 36?"
"I chose the fucking choice! I didn't do it!"
“…”
"Lingluo..." The girl who caught up with her shook her green tears in her ears, which looked dazzling in the twilight. Qin Yuan came to Lingluo and invited her with a smile, "Would you like to have dinner together in the evening dining hall?"
Lingluo is a loner who doesn't interact with others and has a very low sense of presence. Only Qin Yuan, who joined the sect at the same time as her, will talk to her.
There have been dozens of such invitations, but Lingluo rejected them all.
She even cooked her own meals in the courtyard.
Because she was being hunted, going to the outer sect was somewhat risky for her, and she was unwilling to go to crowded places.
Just think that in a month the people from Xiaoyao Sect will find Dongdao Tianji to claim her, the “murderer”. She managed to get into the inner door before this happened and escaped.
"Lingluo?" Qin Yuan saw the girl in front of her lowered her head in deep thought, as if she didn't hear what she said, so she couldn't help but wave her hand in front of her eyes, "You're not going again?"
Lingluo came back to her senses, tilted her head and looked at Qin Yuan, smiling brightly: "Go."
Qin Yuan was stunned by this smile.
She always thought Lingluo was very quiet and well-behaved, but sometimes she looked a little gloomy, which made her curious and want to find out why.
This is the first time I see Lingluo smile.
She looks so beautiful when she smiles.
Why don't you smile more?
"Let's go." Qin Yuan held her hand and said happily, "You haven't been there many times, I'm afraid you can't even find the way, right?"
"Well, I really don't remember." Ling Luo raised her eyes and looked forward, "I have never taken a good look at the scenery outside the gate. I almost forgot where it is."
Qin Yuan chuckled and gestured around with her other hand, "You stay in your room reading books all day long. You probably don't even recognize a few of your fellow disciples, let alone the outer sect. If I hadn't come to play with you every day, would you even forget my name?"
Lingluo smiled sweetly and innocently.
My mentality after rebirth is completely different from that of the past.
In the past, I was only focused on practicing, improving myself, and becoming a superior person.
From a great master of the immortals who slayed demons and defended the Way to one of the twenty-six demons who went on a killing spree, and then to an enemy of the Way of Heaven, and they perished together.
"Pass Sanfang Palace and walk towards Jieluzhai. You can see Yunshang Garden at the inner gate. Then pass Xishui Lake and you will reach Wanzhaitang." Qin Yuan gave her directions as they walked.
Lingluo listened attentively.
But in my heart I was laughing with contempt.
There are clouds and mists in front of you, the buildings are quiet and beautiful, and even the gravel road is surrounded by clusters of flowers, embellishing it into a road leading to a fairyland.
In another ten years, this paradise on earth was razed to the ground by her.
In the battle at Tianji in Dongdao, she was unstoppable. The sect leader also died in her hands in this battle, as well as several hall masters. At that time, she wanted to destroy the entire Tianji, but unfortunately, when she was halfway through destroying it, an ignorant sword cultivator came.
The best swordsman in the world.
He is also better than her in swordsmanship.
Thinking of this person, Lingluo couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and looked towards the surface of Xishui Lake.
The lake water is clear, the green lotus leaves and small lotus flowers complement each other, and red carp swim leisurely in the water.
At that time, he was on this lake, facing the violent sword wind, and blocked his own sword without retreating a single step.
He looks like a human being, but he is actually a piece of wood.
Not only did he steal her title of number one in swordsmanship when he was young, but after he became the Twenty-Sixth Demon Queen, he became even more hostile to her. The people she wanted to kill were always stopped by him, but if she wanted to compete with him in swordsmanship, she was indeed a little bit inferior.
She was just a little bit away from death.
However - this late-stage wooden swordsman came to her on his own accord, and didn't last long in her hands for a few days.
Lingluo felt relieved when she thought of this, and even a smile appeared on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
There were quite a few people in the evening dining hall, including some inner sect disciples. Most of them were in charge of outer sect affairs, so they simply had their meals in the outer sect's dining hall.
Not far from Lingluo, there was a table of inner disciples sitting next to an outer disciple, and they seemed to have a close relationship.
Qin Yuan said faintly: "Senior Brother Xiuman has the care and guidance of the inner sect brothers. He will definitely be able to enter the inner sect this year."
Lingluo was picking at the shredded radish in her bowl and just hummed when she heard this.
Qin Yuan bit her chopsticks and continued, "Senior Brother Xiuman is not diligent in his training, but he has a lot of money. He teamed up with the brothers in the inner sect to bully others. Many people feel resentful but can't do anything about it."
"Lingluo, if you enter the inner sect, you must not come into contact with these brothers." Qin Yuan said with a frown, "They have bad personalities."
Lingluo: “Okay.”
Why are you so obedient today?
Qin Yuan looked over curiously, only to see Ling Luo carefully picking at the carrots in the bowl, not wanting to leave a single bit.
For some reason I feel that this girl is kind of persistent and cute.
Qin Yuan sighed in her heart and went to get her another meal.
"Here, eat it. There are no carrots in this dish."
Lingluo looked up in surprise.
Qin Yuan took the bowl with carrots from her hand and said, "I'll eat this for you."
Lingluo poked at the bowl with her chopsticks.
She didn't have much interaction with Qin Yuan.
When we were in the outer sect, the other party would take the initiative unilaterally and we would ignore each other. After entering the inner sect, we each went to different sects and rarely saw each other again.
Ling Luo wondered casually whether she had accidentally killed this kind girl in the battle at Tianji that year.
Dongdao Tianji is divided into three sects:
Tianyun Sect, Tianzhou Sect, and Sanji Sect.
Ling Luo entered the outer sect of Tianyun Sect, and the inner sect entrance examination is held once a year, lasting ten days.
Outer disciples live in halls at the foot of the mountain, which are divided into small courtyards for multiple people and for single people.
Because Dongdao Tianji is so huge, there is no shortage of accommodation even if there are thousands of outer and inner disciples.
Lingluo returned to her own courtyard. She stood at the door, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar furnishings in the house and remained silent. After a while, she went into the room, closed the door, lay on the bed, closed her eyes and rested.
Maybe I'll go back once I open my eyes.
But the opposite happened.
The next day, she was awakened by Qin Yuan's voice: "Lingluo! Lingluo! Wake up! It's time to go to morning class!"
ah.
I am a twenty-six-year-old demon, and I actually have to attend morning classes.
Lingluo yawned and looked listless.
She took the dark green door uniform placed aside and put it on, then casually tied up her long hair, opened the door, and the dazzling sunlight made her squint unconsciously.
Today's exam is in the afternoon, and there are two hours of morning classes in the morning.
This morning class was divided into sects, and the disciples of the three sects returned to their respective study halls. The one who is responsible for imparting teaching in the outer sect is called the Honored Master. Sometimes he is an outstanding disciple of the inner sect, and sometimes he is also the master of a hall or the head of a sect.
The latter situation is extremely rare.
The master in the hall was talking animatedly, while Lingluo in the hall was drowsy.
The cool morning breeze blew in from the window and brushed her face, making her a little more awake.
When Lingluo raised her eyes, she saw a group of people walking under the pink and white crabapple flowers by the lake outside the window.
The young man walking at the end was wearing a dark green door uniform, but the wide robe at his hands and feet was tied tightly, which made him look less elegant and more capable.
He was walking with his head down, holding three jars of wine in his arms.
Suddenly, the inner sect disciple walking in front turned around and kicked him. The young man bent down for a moment, then straightened his back again.
It seems that this kick was quite powerful.
Ling Luo blinked, and the group quickly disappeared under the crabapple flowers and disappeared from her sight.
But why does this person look familiar?
She tried to recall.
The person who kicked the person was the inner disciple with a bad character that Qin Yuan mentioned yesterday. She should have never seen the person who was kicked, but she felt that the figure and outline were very familiar.
Could it be another old friend whom she has forgotten?
Lingluo thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember who it was until the morning class was over.
In the afternoon, I went to the Sankao Hall again to take the written test.
Because she had taken a nap, she came a little late.
When I walked to the main hall, I passed by the tables under the steps, which were almost full.
Qin Yuan at the door of the inner hall was waving at her, signaling her to go up quickly.
Lingluo walked leisurely, and when she was almost at the stairs, she saw a chestnut rolling from someone's table to the sidewalk. The owner of the chestnut immediately bent down and picked it up.
She couldn't help but glance over and saw three words written on the wooden nameplate on the table: Yue Liangze.
Ling Luo opened her eyes slightly, stopped subconsciously, and her mind was confused for a moment.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the young man sitting at the table. The glimpse she got of him under the peach blossoms outside the study window in the morning made her think for a long time. When she saw his face again, she finally remembered.
Even though he was still a teenager, his slightly delicate features were enough for her to recognize him.
The more fertile the lake.
The immortal sect’s number one swordsman who saved half of Dongdao Tianji from her.
A wooden man who always goes against her.
"Lingluo, Lingluo!" Qin Yuan in front of the palace gate shouted anxiously.
Lingluo stared at the person in front of her without moving.
Perhaps noticing something strange about the person next to him, the boy slowly raised his head and looked at the girl standing by the table.
The long black eyelashes trembled slightly, and the girl's appearance was reflected in her eyes, bright and calm.
"Sit still." The clear voice of Master Fan came from behind, "Today's three exams are about to begin, and the papers will be divided."
"Let's go!" Qin Yuan came down, took Ling Luo's hand, and ran towards the main hall with her.
Ling Luo looked back and saw that the inner sect disciples were dividing the scrolls from the back to the front. The young man in the dark green sect uniform had already lowered his head and was looking back at the desk in front of him.
