Chapter 80 Wang Longqi has the spirit of a sage
When Li Chu returned to Deyun Temple, the air pressure was abnormally low.
The little koi fish and the fox girl in the front hall raised their heads and watched him walk by, and they both felt that something was wrong.
After watching his back for a long time, the fox girl turned around and whispered, "Master seemed to have cried?"
"Hmm?" The little koi turned around and blinked: "Master is back?"
Fox girl: “…”
Yu Qian'an had been receiving guests in the front hall for a whole day, and now he was sitting at the stone table to take a rest while there were few people around.
Seeing that Li Chu was in a bad mood, he asked with concern: "Disciple, what's wrong?"
Li Chu sat opposite his master and said woodenly, "I'm so stupid, really..."
The young Taoist raised his lifeless eyes and continued, "I only knew that defeating the monster was enough. I didn't know that the monster pill was the most valuable... When I rushed back to Yangshan Pavilion, it had already been emptied..."
"Uh." Yu Qian'an laughed after hearing this: "This is also Master's negligence. I never taught you, so how would you know?"
He continued leisurely, "Speaking of the demon pill, if a demon has done something that is against the will of heaven and earth, it is nothing to kill it and take away the demon pill."
"But since the use of demon pills to make medicine has become popular in the martial arts world, there have been more and more cultivators who kill demons to get the pills. These people, under the guise of slaying demons and eliminating evil, hunt and kill all demons for profit, regardless of whether they follow the right path and practice peacefully. Such behavior is almost the same as that of evil spirits."
"As long as something becomes a business, it will most likely lead to countless dirty things. Alas——"
He was helping Li Chu with his knowledge about demon pills, but it was too late and he was unable to change his depressed mood.
At this time, Wang Longqi came to Deyun Temple again.
At this moment, the Seventh Young Master of the Wang Family was full of energy and walked with great vigor, which was very different from his usual temperament.
Li Chu raised half of his eyelids and looked at him: "Are you being haunted again?"
Wang Longqi nodded to the old Taoist priest and then said, "What are you talking about? Where do all these evil spirits come from... Hey, you don't seem very happy, what's wrong?"
Hearing his question, Li Chu's eyes dimmed and he said, "I'm so stupid, really..."
Wang Longqi listened to him telling the story again and smiled, "Don't worry about it. It's just about money. I have good news for you."
He coughed twice and said solemnly, "My friend has been admitted to Hangzhou Zhengqi Academy and will be leaving for school soon. I came here today just to say goodbye to you!"
"Oh?" Li Chu was a little surprised.
Hangzhou Zhengqi Academy is one of the four most famous academies in the world. It has produced many world-famous scholars and has a high status in the current official circles.
It was not easy to enter an academy of this level. Especially the Zhengqi Academy, where the entrance exam was said to be extremely difficult, with only one in a thousand able to pass.
To get in through the back door... one must either be a high-ranking official or a wealthy person, and it is more difficult to achieve than passing an exam.
The Wang family is considered one of the best in Yuhang Town, but when it comes to Hangzhou Prefecture, they are a bit embarrassed.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Longqi to enter Zhengqi Academy by relying on his father.
Then there is only one possibility...
"Did your mother remarry?" Li Chu asked.
This father is not good enough, so I'm afraid I have to change him...
Wang Longqi rolled his eyes: "Is this even remotely related?"
Li Chu said: "Your current status as a father is not enough to send you in, right?"
Wang Longqi straightened his chest and said, "Am I someone who can only rely on my father in your eyes?"
Li Chu looked directly into Wang Longqi's eyes, and his expression probably meant...
What do you say?
Wang Longqi was discouraged and said with a wry smile: "I admit that I was a little immature in the past. But that is all in the past. The qualification for Zhengqi Academy was earned by me through hard work."
He then narrated, "The autumn exam of Zhengqi Academy is held once a year. My family signed me up early on. Actually, we didn't expect me to pass the exam. We just thought that maybe a blind cat would hit on a dead mouse."
"I never thought about this. Not only did I not review two days before the exam, but I also went out to sea with you. As a result... hehe..."
He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and as if to show off.
"That night I..."
“Afterwards, I felt like a completely elevated person.”
"As soon as I got home the next day, someone told me that I had to take the entrance exam for Zhengqi Academy, so I went over and took it casually."
"Who would have thought that the question and article I answered would be picked up by a gentleman in the academy."
"He commented to me that although this boy's foundation is weak, his mind is smart and his writings are full of the spirit of saints."
“So I was admitted, hehe.”
The old Taoist priest and the young Taoist priest looked at each other and had the same thought in their minds.
Is this even possible?
"Were you really accepted?" Li Chu still had some doubts. It was a bit too much to think that he could impress the professor of Zhengqi Academy with just an article about Sage's Hour...
"Can you really do it?" Yu Qian'an also had his doubts.
Wang Longqi looked at the master and his disciple speechlessly and said, "This is all true. I will be living in the academy for a long time in a few days. How can it be false?"
"Alas." At this point, he sighed again: "Life in the academy is hard. I heard that classes take four or five hours every day, and after school, we have to study various subjects."
"But Hangzhou is still pretty good." Yu Qian'an said, "Taogu Tower, Xunxiangzhai... they are all first-class places to go."
"Hey." Wang Longqi smiled: "That's all old news. Taoist Yu hasn't been there for a few years. Now the most popular place in Hangzhou is Wenrouli, and all the scholars and literati praise it."
"Really? Maybe those beautiful girls from the past have all grown old." Yu Qian'an sighed, "The most unforgettable thing is that the beauty leaves the mirror and the flowers leave the tree... Uh, I don't know how Miss Yan from Taogu Tower is doing? When I was hanging out in Hangzhou..."
“Are you talking about Miss Yan Xiaoyao, who is famous in the twelve prefectures of Jiangnan and has a waist as beautiful as willows?” Wang Longqi immediately became interested.
"Oh? You've heard of her, kid? When she became famous, you probably weren't born yet?" Yu Qian'an's eyes lit up.
"As for Aunt Yan, her generation was the heyday of Jiangnan's romance! Since her, Jiangnan has never produced an Oiran who can compete with the Northern Flower Capital for beauty. I have often heard of her, and although I can't be there, I yearn for it in my heart!"
Wang Longqi looked far away, and then continued: "After she left Taogu Tower, it seems that she became a good woman and married for a few years, and then I don't know how she came out again. She is the manager of Wenrou now, so I have only seen her once or twice."
Yu Qian'an said: "I said at the beginning that she would be more beautiful after she turned forty than when she was twenty-eight."
"Master, that's a good idea." Wang Longqi nodded and said, "Aunt Yan is very popular now. Men who want to marry her can still line up from Hangzhou Prefecture to Yuhang Town."
"Hey, I remembered another one..." Yu Qian'an became more talkative when talking about these things.
"Oh! Who is that...hehe." Wang Longqi couldn't stop talking about these.
One old and one young, they cherish each other...
Next to him, Li Chu sat there depressed, feeling like an orphan.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not shared, I just think they are noisy...
At this time, there was another sound of hard footsteps coming from the front, and a pair of official boots stepped in.
"Master Xiao Li, Master Xiao Li, something terrible has happened!"
The person who came was Zhou Dafu. As soon as he saw Li Chu, he shouted, his voice hoarse with tears.
"What's wrong?"
After so many strange cases, it was the first time that Li Chu saw Chow Tai Fook with such a grief-stricken expression.
I immediately realized that the situation was serious.
"Miss Gongsun is in trouble!"
