The next day.
At 7 pm, Qin Yuan came to call Ling Luo on time: "Hurry up and get up!"
Lingluo had just washed her face, wiped it with a handkerchief, and opened the door to come out.
Qin Yuan took her to the dining hall for breakfast and said on the way: "The results of this year's entrance exam will be announced in the Three Examination Hall later. You will definitely be included. It's just a pity that you can't go because of the punishment."
Ling Luo didn't care about it. She was sure that Yun Shouxi would make some arrangements. However, she caught a glimpse of her empty earlobe and asked, "How was your martial arts test yesterday?"
Usually, Qin Yuan would come to find her after the martial arts test and wait for her to go back to the dormitory together, but Qin Yuan did not come yesterday.
"Oh, don't mention it. I was quite confident yesterday, but I didn't expect to meet the eldest lady." Qin Yuan said helplessly, "She is too powerful. I couldn't survive a single move in her hands. I'm afraid there is no hope for me to enter the inner sect this year."
Ling Luo raised her finger and pointed at her ear, "Why don't you wear earrings today?"
"I failed in the competition yesterday." Qin Yuan couldn't help but touch her empty earlobe and sighed, "It's all my fault for not learning the skills well enough. I must work harder this year!"
You are quite optimistic.
Ling Luo didn't say anything and went to the Wanzhai Hall with her to have breakfast. During the breakfast, she heard many outer disciples complaining that Mu Ya had been too ruthless yesterday and didn't give them any chance at all.
After the meal, the two separated, one went to the Sankao Hall and the other went to the Yaozhai.
As soon as Ling Luo arrived at the main entrance of the pharmacy, she saw a black tiger beast standing majestically in front of the door and looking at her. Several fellow brothers and sisters inside the door were waiting respectfully by the side.
When the tiger saw Lingluo, it nodded slightly to her and let out a low howl.
Senior Sister Yaozhai winked at Lingluo, indicating that she should salute Linghu, and quietly made the number three with her hand at her side.
Lingluo pretended to be surprised and bowed her head, "Disciple greets Linghu."
The spirit tiger is the highest level representative of the magic of shapeshifting.
With powerful spiritual cultivation, the invisible spiritual energy can be transformed into a physical form, and endowed with power and consciousness, giving it a substance and therefore a real existence.
Strength and talent are both indispensable.
The third leader, Yun Shouxi, is the undisputed genius and the strongest person in Tianji, Dongdao.
There is only this one spiritual tiger in the whole sky.
Even if you are not a disciple of Tianji, you know that this spirit tiger belongs to Yun Shouxi.
All Tianji disciples see Linghu as if they see the three masters.
The tiger walked towards Lingluo, its long black tail sweeping past her feet.
Following Linghu came a senior brother from the Discipline Hall. He said to Lingluo, "Junior sister, please come with us to the Three Examinations Hall. The cheating you mentioned last time has been investigated by Hall Master Fan today."
Lingluo pretended to be confused and asked, "What is the result?"
The senior brother from the Discipline Hall smiled and said, "Junior sister will know when she goes to the Three Examination Hall."
A few people and a tiger set out from the medicine room and headed for the Three Examinations Hall.
On the way, they met some outer or inner sect disciples, who all looked at Linghu in surprise. When passing by them, they all bowed their heads respectfully and said hello to Linghu, but they couldn't help but wonder about Lingluo who was following Linghu.
This is a huge display.
This is something Yun Shouxi could definitely do.
When the disciples were announced in the Three Examinations Hall that year, Yun Shouxi stole the limelight by having Linghu walk towards him in front of hundreds of astonished and envious gazes.
Lingluo has seen through it now.
Yun Shouxi just likes to use this method to make her addicted. Moreover, with his status as the third head of the sect, he can give many things that can seduce a young disciple.
He wanted Lingluo to be obsessed with him as well and gain the self-satisfaction of mutual affection.
Seeing this scene, Ling Luo knew that the cheating was a sure thing, and so was her chance to become a disciple.
Hundreds of disciples had gathered in the Third Examination Hall, with Linghu leading the way. He entered through the main gate, attracting the surprise of hundreds of disciples, who all said in unison, "Disciples have seen Linghu."
Qin Yuan was slightly surprised when she saw Ling Luo walking beside Ling Hu. Then she saw her senior brother from the Discipline Hall behind her. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Ling Luo had gotten into trouble again?
The thirty-two folding doors of the palace were opened, and Yu Xiu and Mu Ya stood behind Master Fan on dozens of steps.
And Linghu was walking towards the stage.
Lingluo glimpsed Yue Liangze standing at the bottom of the stairs, but she did not stop or look back as she followed Linghu.
As if he didn't see it.
Instead, Yue Liangze followed her gaze upwards.
The people in the audience were stunned when they saw Lingluo following Linghu up.
Qin Yuan was so shocked that she raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief.
Mu Ya frowned as she watched Ling Luo coming up, and asked Yu Xiu in a low voice, "What's wrong with this person?"
Yu Xiu said, "That's what Master meant."
Mu Ya was slightly stunned when she heard this.
Lingluo came to the door of the inner hall and stood behind Linghu, watching her nose and her heart, pretending to be very well-behaved.
Master Fan was still sitting cross-legged on his carpet. His chubby face had squeezed his eyes so small that they looked like a slit, but his overall expression was cheerful.
He waved his hand, and the people from the Discipline Hall brought up Hong Mao, Xiu Man and others.
Several people knelt down on the stage, shouting with regret on their faces: "Disciple knows his fault, and I hope the hall master will show mercy!"
Hall Master Fan said in a resonant voice: "As an inner sect senior brother, you failed to stop your junior brother from cheating, but instead helped him and profited from it. You are committing a crime knowingly."
Hong Mao regretted, "Disciple knows his mistake!"
"Please show some mercy, Master!"
Master Fan enumerated the crimes of several people, and the disciples below the stage gradually understood.
Most people are disgusted by cheating.
In addition, Master Fan is notoriously strict and is the number one person in upholding the sect's rules. Now that these crimes have been exposed by him, there is basically no hope.
Master Fan said, "According to the sect rules, they will be stripped of their sect uniforms, their Skynet marks will be erased, and inner sect disciples will have their skills abolished and all will be expelled from the sect."
"Master!"
"Master, please have mercy! Give me another chance!"
"Disciple knows his mistake!"
No matter how Hong Mao and his companions repented and begged for mercy, Hall Master Fan ignored them and ordered the people from the Discipline Hall to drag them away.
Master Fan looked at the disciples below and said loudly: "All disciples should take this as a warning and not take chances. If it is discovered later, the punishment will be even heavier."
Everyone said in unison: "Disciple will remember the teachings."
Most people believed that Soo-man and his inner sect senior brother cheated and were discovered by Hall Master Fan, so they sighed.
Only Yue Liangze looked at Lingluo on the stage.
He looked calm, neither sad nor happy.
"The written and martial arts entrance exams have ended. Next, we will announce the list of inner disciples." Master Fan held out his hand, and Yu Xiu handed over a scroll. "The selected disciples of Tianzhou Sect are Fei Kai, Zhu Yuan, Tan Yiyi..."
The shortlisted candidates were classified according to the three sects, and Hall Master Fan read the name of the Tianyun Sect last.
"The selected disciples of Tianyun Sect are Yuan Chengyu, Fan Yu, Zhao Zhixiu... Qin Yuan——"
Huh?
Me?
Am I in?
Qin Yuan in the audience looked at Master Fan in surprise, her heart pounding.
Yesterday, many disciples were eliminated because of Mu Ya, resulting in poor performance of all of them. Qin Yuan thought that she had lost the qualification to become an inner sect disciple this year.
"Congratulations, Qin Yuan." The disciples were already quietly congratulating and comforting each other.
Qin Yuan nodded and thanked him, unable to hide the smile in her eyes.
After Master Fan finished reading out all the names on the list, some people consoled each other, "Don't panic, there are still disciples who haven't been announced yet. What if your name is on the list?"
"Xu Shen's name wasn't even in the top 30 in the written test. Maybe he was spotted by some hall master."
Lingluo was a little surprised that she didn't hear her name or Yue Liangze.
Could it be that Yue Liangze was chosen by some hall master to be his personal disciple?
"Among you, those who have excellent grades have been accepted as personal disciples by the various hall masters." Hall Master Fan waved his hand, and Yu Xiu handed him another scroll, "Xu Shen, second in the written test, seventh in the martial arts test, became the disciple of the sixth hall master."
"Chang Fei, third in the written test, ninth in the martial arts test, becomes the disciple of the fourth hall master."
Everyone looked at the two of them with envy.
"Song Yuanyuan, ranked fifth in the written test and fourth in the martial arts test, became the disciple of the seventh hall master."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Song Yuanyuan with envy, sympathy and uncontrollable laughter.
The Seventh Hall Master, isn’t he the Hall Master Fan on the stage?
Who can stand Master Fan’s picky personality?
I’m afraid this brother will have a hard time in the future.
Song Yuanyuan has a small round face and looks white and plump, which is a good match for Master Fan. He was drowsy at first, but when he heard these words, he was so shocked that his eyes widened and his mouth opened. A swear word came to his lips, but he swallowed it back because of the gazes from all around.
Practice with Master Fan?
He might as well not give up the opportunity to be his personal disciple!
"The last one." Master Fan looked at the words on the scroll without changing his expression and said, "Lingluo, first in the written test, did not participate in the martial arts test, and became the disciple of the third master."
"Wow--"
"Hiss! The Third Sect Leader?!"
"Oh my god! You got first place in the written test, but didn't take the martial arts test?"
"Lingluo, is that the Lingluo from Tianyun Sect?"
"You didn't take part in the martial arts test, is that true or false?"
"Is this all right? Is this all right? Is this all right?"
Because the news was so shocking, the disciples in the audience couldn't help but discuss it out loud.
Compared to the envy and ridicule towards the first three people, everyone's attitude towards Lingluo was shock and suspicion, and even a little bit of dissatisfaction.
Although it was impressive that she got first place in the written test, why could she become the direct disciple of the Third Master without even taking the martial arts test and having no results?
It’s not some hall master, it’s the third sect leader!
One of the three beauties of the sky!
True Lord Sanxi!
The most powerful person in Dongdao Tianji and even the entire Daxianmen!
After that, no one cared about what Master Fan was saying to encourage the unsuccessful candidates to keep trying; their attention was focused on the girl next to Linghu.
But Lingluo was wondering.
Why is Yue Liangze not here?
Wasn’t he in the top 30 in the written test?
After Master Fan announced the departure, Lingluo raised her head to look at Yue Liangze below, but Yue Liangze lowered his head and did not notice her.
Yu Xiu walked towards Lingluo and said in a gentle voice, "Come on, I'll take you to Qingshifang to see the master."
Before Lingluo could answer, Mu Ya said, "Wait."
She looked sideways and saw Mu Ya standing in front of her, raising her eyebrows and saying, "Even if he was chosen by the Third Sect Leader, he must have some outstanding qualities, but he has no martial arts test results, so I'm afraid it will be hard to convince the public."
Yu Xiu said, "Since you know this is Master's choice, why do you do this?"
"Brother Yu, she is just the first in the written test. There are at least hundreds of people in the inner sect who have won the first place in the written test and the martial arts test, but not all of them have become the direct disciples of the Third Sect Master." Mu Ya said slowly, "If she is admitted to the Third Sect Master's sect with such a good result, what will the other disciples think? The Third Sect Master is one of the elders I respect the most. I can't let him be implicated by this person and let other disciples talk about him."
Master Fan did not walk far. He stopped when the two were arguing and watched with a smile.
Yu Xiu and he had both seen the day when Lingluo cut through the crowd with one sword. That sword was perfect, and the control of spiritual power, strength, and sword techniques was simply perfection.
Just from that one sword strike, the two knew that Ling Luo had no pressure in taking part in the martial arts test.
Even if Yun Shouxi suddenly accepted her as his apprentice, apart from being surprised, she would not feel that there was anything wrong or unworthy.
Yu Xiu would not question his master's decision.
Master Fan thought that Lingluo was a talented person with great potential. Maybe Yun Shouxi was just bored and wanted to have another disciple.
Facing Mu Ya's constant pestering, Yu Xiu was in a lot of trouble. He asked, "So what do you want to do?"
"It's simple. Let her take part in the martial arts test." Mu Ya looked at Ling Luo with a bit of provocation and arrogance. "The rules are the same as yesterday. If she can survive five moves from me, she wins."
Yu Xiu pursed his lips and said, "What you did yesterday was too much."
"What's the use of those who are not good at martial arts?" Mu Ya said disdainfully, "What's more, they are the direct disciples of the Third Master. How difficult is it for them to survive five moves from me?"
Yu Xiu was unwilling to agree and was about to refuse, but he saw Ling Luo step forward, smiling and bowing to Mu Ya, saying: "In this case, please teach me, Senior Sister."
Mu Ya looked her up and down and was a little surprised by Ling Luo's initiative, but he was a proud person and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
She snorted and asked Hall Master Fan in the back, "Hall Master."
Master Fan said with a smile: "Since both parties are willing to compete, why not?"
The dispute between the two had already been seen by hundreds of disciples below. Now, seeing Mu Ya and Ling Luo coming down and marking the boundaries of the competition venue, the atmosphere suddenly became boiling.
Yue Liangze, who was halfway through his walk, noticed this and couldn't help but stop and look back.
There was a bustling crowd between him and Lingluo.
"The young lady wants to compete with Ling Luo!"
"I heard that this is to allow Lingluo to make up for the martial arts test score?"
"The young lady abused us so badly yesterday. I want to see how Lingluo will deal with it!"
"I have mixed feelings. For a moment, I don't know whether I should let Lingluo avenge me or watch the eldest lady slap her personal disciple in the face."
“…”
Qin Yuan watched from the sidelines, feeling anxious and worried.
Is Lingluo okay?
If I were to be brutally abused by the eldest lady here in front of hundreds of disciples from the three sects - I simply cannot imagine it!
When Qin Yuan was getting nervous, Ling Luo called out to her, "Qin Yuan, lend me your sword."
"Ah? Oh, good!" Qin Yuan immediately handed her the sword and whispered, "Come on!"
Ling Luo drew her sword and turned to look at Mu Ya opposite her.
The girl stood proudly, still as arrogant as she was in her memory, without any change.
Lingluo looked at it and actually felt like laughing.
She thought things had changed since her first encounter with Mu Ya, but she didn't expect her to come to her on her own initiative.
Mu Ya held the long sword in his hand and said, "Three moves. It's fine as long as you can survive three moves."
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Ling Luo said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Mu Ya nodded and said arrogantly: "I'll let you have half a move first."
"Senior Sister." Ling Luo raised her sword and pointed it at her, smiling, "If anything is damaged during the competition, how will the compensation be calculated?"
The outer disciples watching couldn't help but gasp, grabbing Qin Yuan's hand and shaking it frantically, saying, "Is she crazy? How dare she provoke the young lady like this! Didn't you tell her how ruthless the young lady was yesterday?"
Qin Yuan said sadly: "I told you so."
Ling Luo's words successfully angered Mu Ya. She had a noble status since childhood and was loved by the three Tianji sects of Dongdao. She was very talented. Who would dare to provoke her like this?
"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't dare to compete, do it as soon as possible..." Mu Ya was halfway through her words when she saw Ling Luo slashing at her with a sword. Although the speed was not fast, the sword wind was strong.
Mu Ya dodged sideways, and half of the move was over. She sneered in her heart, swung her sword in a flower shape, and counterattacked without mercy.
But Lingluo's next sword was faster than hers. The two of them had moved closer during the previous sword fight. This time, the sword blade almost passed by her cheek, and when it was raised, it cut off the pendant on Mu Ya's ear.
The gold ornaments fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
The next moment, the two swords collided, making ringing sounds. Mu Ya was horrified and looked at Ling Luo in shock.
Careless!
Just as she was about to concentrate and deal with it seriously, Lingluo's spiritual power burst out at this moment, and she pressed down with the long sword, repelling Mu Ya.
Mu Ya was caught off guard and retreated to the edge in embarrassment, with one foot outside the line.
Glancing at the gold earring that had fallen to the ground, she became furious. When she drew her sword to teach Ling Luo a lesson, she heard a slight snapping sound.
Mu Ya froze.
Ling Luo on the opposite side had already put away her sword, bowed slightly, and said, "Senior Sister, I will give way to you."
Mu Ya held the hilt of the sword with a grim expression. With a click, the sword broke in half and fell to the ground.
After a moment of silence, Qin Yuan clapped excitedly, and then more and more people applauded and cheered.
Great revenge!
He is worthy of being the disciple chosen by the Third Master!
I am convinced!
