Chapter 272 Order to Recruit Talented Individuals
Huo Rui and Mei Ji settled down at Xianlong Peak, and for nearly a month, no one from the Gu Liang clan dared to cause trouble for them at Dingtian Academy.
However, as the only couple in the mountain, Huo Rui and Mei Ji were not particularly close to their senior brothers who adhered to the principle of severing all emotional ties.
It wasn't until Jia Xitong specifically introduced Meiji to everyone that...
"These are my and the host's senior brothers, the eldest senior brother, the second senior brother, the third senior brother..."
After introducing each of them to Meiji, she began to praise them, saying, "Although the senior brothers are only at the Martial Spirit Realm, they are exceptionally righteous and caring towards us younger generation."
"Moreover, my senior brothers have their own specialties in many areas..."
The praise was so overwhelming that the senior students were flattered and generously donated money, unconsciously playing the role of the responsible, caring, and patriarchal figure that Jia Xitong had described.
It's another harmonious day at Hsien Loong Peak!
##
early morning
As a raccoon who can freely control the time it takes to transform into a human, Jia Xitong crawled out of Shang Yanting's bed.
She jumped out of bed, then chose her favorite clothes from the wardrobe, and carried her things into the side room.
A moment later
A dressed girl came running in happily from outside, "Good morning, host!"
After saying this, she sat down in front of the dressing table.
Shang Yanting had already woken up.
He got out of bed, his white robe making him appear radiant. He slowly walked in, picked up the ivory comb beside him, and gently lifted her long hair.
Jia Xitong was already used to Shang Yanting braiding her hair when she was in bear form and styling it in a bun when she was in human form, so she didn't feel that they were being too intimate at the moment.
A moment later
A beautiful bun appeared on Jia Xitong's head, adorned with glittering gold hairpins, exuding wealth and splendor, perfectly matching the Shang family's aesthetic.
Finally, he picked up a gold leaf and applied it to Jia Xitong's forehead to create a floral design.
"I'm so pretty."
After finishing, Jia Xitong praised herself generously. Whenever she styled her hair to her satisfaction, she would feel smug all day.
Shang Yanting smiled and leaned down to kiss her cheek.
Soft lips pressed against hers, and Jia Xitong froze on the spot as if she had been struck by a pressure point.
To be honest, she still wasn't used to being kissed by Shang Yanting in her human form. She didn't know whether Shang Yanting was taking advantage of her, or she was taking advantage of him.
She rubbed her face a little awkwardly, "Honey, I told you not to kiss me when I'm in human form."
Shang Yanting straightened up, turned around and put on his coat. "I'm going to Qizhou Peak today. Do you want to come?"
"Um... I'm not going."
Upon hearing this, Jia Xitong shook her head, "Today I want my fellow students to draw talismans."
As a career-minded woman, Xiong Aotian is devoted to the "Parable of Botong" and strives to gain more followers for the Fushen Temple.
"All right."
Shang Yanting took her hand.
He doesn't want outsiders to see Xi Tong's current appearance.
"I will be back soon. Don't wander around in the mountains."
"Uh-huh."
Jia Xitong watched him leave by boat, then turned and went to her study to prepare the things she would need for the day. Just then, she noticed a notice.
[Imperial Academy Elite Talent Order]
The academy primarily hires cultivators specializing in four main areas: alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman making, and formations.
No restrictions on identity or region
The requirements are open; anyone with a cultivation level of at least the late Martial Spirit stage can apply.
Talismans?
Become a teacher?
Jia Xitong carefully read the entire notice twice, then looked at her current appearance and her mind...
A bold idea was born from this.
—Become a teacher!
What's the point of just focusing on the older disciples? We need to get fresh blood. Besides, she had even substituted for Shang Yanting's classes before, so she was quite confident in her teaching abilities.
Then, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early in the human form, she went to register.
Registration location is at the school gate.
Because she was secretly registering, Jia Xitong deliberately avoided people she knew and wore a straw hat that could cover her face when she went to the registration place.
Because the scope of this talent recruitment is very broad, there are a lot of people who have come to apply. There are at least 20 people in front of the line, and more and more people are still rushing to the back.
Upon seeing this, Jia Xitong quickly rushed to join the queue, and soon a long line formed behind her.
There were four or five people ahead of her before it was her turn.
Just then, a commotion broke out at the front.
"My spirit stones! Where are my spirit stones?!"
A young man fumbled around for his purse, a look of panic on his face.
However, the person in charge and those behind him all wore indifferent expressions.
"Sorry, the registration fee is one mid-grade spirit stone. If you don't have one, please leave immediately."
"I brought it!"
The young man looked anxious as he glanced at the others, appearing isolated and helpless.
Sometimes even a penny can be a problem.
Jia Xitong looked at him and recalled the scene when she and Shang Yanting first came to the academy, wading through the ditch and being given spirit stones by kind people. So she took out two mid-grade spirit stones from her pocket.
“I have paid the registration fee for this fellow Daoist.”
It's just a small act of kindness; let's create a positive connection.
The person taking notes glanced at Jia Xitong, then wrote down the man's and his own names in the notebook, and tossed them two wooden plaques indicating successful registration.
"Meet here at 5:00 AM tomorrow to begin the interviews."
The young man accepted the wooden plaque and bowed gratefully to Jia Xitong. "Thank you, young lady! May I ask if you may leave your name? I will repay your kindness today when I achieve success in the future."
"My name is Xitong."
Jia Xitong was used to speaking casually, and only then did she realize that her name was also written on the sign she had registered for.
oh.
No wonder the eldest brother had such a strange expression when he wrote his name.
"This is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning. I wish you all your wishes come true!"
"I am Sharp, and I hope that fellow Daoists Xi and Xitong can also enter Dingtian Academy!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Xitong smiled slightly. Seeing that she didn't have much time left to maintain her human form, she boarded the Suzuki Flying Owl and rode away.
When she reached Xianlong Peak, she transformed back into a raccoon. After parking the Suzuki Flying Owl, Jia Xitong jumped down and slipped away. The whole movement was so fluid that no one noticed the raccoon had already gone off to have some fun.
The next day
She sneaked away again and arrived at the teacher selection location on time. She hadn't noticed it yesterday, but now she saw that the courtyard was filled with applicants, and at a glance, there were more than a thousand people.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
Just as Jia Xitong was wondering where she should go, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Fellow Daoist Tong!"
A familiar face in the crowd waved to him; it was Sharp.
Seeing Jia Xitong looking over, Sharp's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his voice, "Fellow Daoist Tong, come here!"
Jia Xitong paused for a moment, then walked towards him. "Fellow Daoist Xia, do you know what you're doing now?"
