The cloth banner was made very crudely, with a row of large characters written on it: I am the best young man in the world, knowing everything about heaven and earth!
Immediately, Mu Hanyan and others broke out in cold sweat: This... this is the true teachings of a generation of calligraphy masters!
It would be fine if the handwriting was crooked, and it would be fine if the writing was intermittent and unclear, but the most terrifying thing is that that small word seems to be a typo.
"How about it, not bad, right?" Ling Baobao said proudly.
"Well, well, it's not bad, but... isn't that small word written wrong?" Mu Hanyan really didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so she said implicitly.
"Wrong? Master taught me this before, didn't he?" Ling Baobao narrowed his eyes and looked at the cloth banner carefully, his face gradually flushing. "Well... Actually, I was afraid that ordinary people wouldn't understand it, so I wrote it like this on purpose. You know, I didn't have much money when I left Xiaocang City, so I relied on this sign to make some money along the way. Ordinary people are uneducated, so who would understand it if it wasn't written like this? Don't you agree?"
While saying this, Ling Baobao quickly put away the cloth banner.
"Yeah, you're right. It makes sense." Mu Hanyan and others nodded numbly.
There have been few wars or epidemics in the Holy Court Continent in the past thousand years, and Anyun Country is a country of peace and prosperity. Even civilians in remote and desolate areas will go to private schools for a few days. How could they be uneducated? The only one who is uneducated is probably Ling Baobao himself.
"Oh, I am too lazy to explain to you. Anyway, my calligraphy skills are the true teachings of a master, and my eyesight is definitely not wrong. Look at the four big characters of Longyan College. They are like flying phoenixes and swimming dragons, and also like twisted pines. They are obviously the work of a famous calligrapher. The strokes are vigorous and powerful, like a sword unsheathed, and the sword intent soars into the sky... Eh..." Ling Baobao was talking nonsense, but while he was talking, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Look, these four words really contain the meaning of sword. I am not talking nonsense, it really does." Ling Baobao said in surprise.
Mu Hanyan, Hua Yue and the others had just listened to his nonsense and had not had time to take a closer look. Now that they had taken a closer look, they discovered that the four large characters "Longyan College" were written like a sword swirling in the air. The strokes were like a sword hidden in its sheath, its edge restrained, or like a sword pointing to the sky, its mighty and powerful. It indeed contained extremely profound sword intent, and they were all greatly surprised for a moment.
"Cough, cough, don't you know?" Tang Bufan asked after two dry coughs, looking a little embarrassed.
"Know what?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"These four words were not written by one person, but by the ten masters who founded Longyan Academy. Every word and every stroke contains their lifelong understanding of swordsmanship." Tang Bufan replied.
"How did you know?" Ling Baobao asked in surprise.
"Not only do I know it, everyone in the capital knows it, and many practitioners from other places also know it." Tang Bufan explained.
Mu Hanyan finally understood why Tang Bufan was embarrassed. Just as Ling Baobao cheered as if he had found a treasure, and she and Hua Yue and others were also surprised, some young swordsmen who had entered the academy one after another looked at them like idiots.
Thinking about it, Mu Hanyan felt a little silly. They were shouting in surprise at something that everyone in the capital knew. It would be strange if they were not regarded as idiots.
But it's not their fault. Mu Hanyan has lived in Black Stone City for more than ten years in a daze. She never thought that one day she would enter Longyan College. Although Hua Yue and Zirong didn't live as dazed as her, they also lived in remote county towns for a long time and also never thought about entering Longyan College. Who would care about these things?
Because this matter was known to everyone in the capital, no one took it seriously, so Ling Zexian and the little playboy forgot to mention it to him, which led to this misunderstanding.
"These four characters have such a history. If one comprehends the sword intent contained therein, wouldn't it be like reaching the sky in one step?" Ling Baobao was obviously very thick-skinned. He didn't even feel embarrassed and asked excitedly.
"How could it be that easy?" Tang Bufan shook his head and said, "Although Longyan Academy is mostly hidden within the barrier, it opens once every few years for outsiders to admire the academy. Every time that happens, countless cultivators who have never had the chance to enter the academy come to comprehend the Grandmaster's sword intent, but few succeed.
I've been here twice before, each time standing here for a day and a night, but I didn't get anything. But since it's your first time here, you can give it a try, you might get something unexpected."
"Okay, let's try it too." Mu Hanyan saw that it was still early and was not in a hurry to enter the academy.
Hua Yue and the others were all interested after hearing Tang Bufan's words. They immediately stopped, held their breath, and began to comprehend the sword intent hidden in the four big words.
"Hmph, a bunch of frogs in a well, actually dreaming of comprehending the Grandmaster's sword intent. You have no idea how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. Get out of here!" Just then, a cold female voice reached my ears. The voice was crisp and arrogant, and the contempt and sarcasm in it made me feel very uncomfortable.
Turning around, he saw three young swordsmen: two men and one woman. They were all about the same age, around sixteen or seventeen, and wore the sword robes of Holy Dragon Academy disciples, embroidered with silver and gold thread at the edges, clearly indicating they were of high status.
The girl who was speaking was tall and had a cold face, with her nose turned up and she looked very proud.
If it were in the past, if someone had spoken rudely like this, Mu Hanyan might have exploded long ago, but she had just managed to get rid of the title of the most dissolute playboy in the capital, and she didn't want to be labeled the most dissolute playboy in Longyan College so early. She just looked at the other person coldly without saying anything.
"It's none of your business! The road is not yours. If you want to leave, just leave by yourself." Mu Hanyan didn't say anything, but that didn't mean others wouldn't. Ling Baobao raised his head and cursed without showing any weakness.
"How dare you be rude to Junior Sister!" The two young men shouted loudly, holding the hilts of their swords.
"What are you doing? You want to fight?" Ling Baobao also grasped the hilt of the sword, thought for a moment, and added, "Look carefully, we have more people."
"They are just a bunch of trash. What's the use of having more people? How dare they act so arrogantly in front of me, Jiang Qiling? Go ahead and break his legs. Let's see if he dares to be so arrogant again." The girl who called herself Jiang Qiling raised her eyebrows and gave the order.
"Clang!" The two young men drew out their swords at the same time.
Huayue, Zirong, and Jiang Yuzhe all looked gloomy. They flicked their fingers and their swords came out.
As Miss Mu's personal bodyguards and gold medal thugs, the three of them have never been easy to deal with. Seeing the girl speaking rudely and wanting to hurt others if she disagreed with them, they had already been a little angry. It was just that Mu Hanyan didn't say anything, so they didn't dare to take action. However, if the other party really wanted to hurt someone, they would not stand idly by.
The two sides were on the verge of a fight.
"Stop!" At this moment, Mu Hanyan spoke.
