Chapter 7 No one can escape the torment of the civil service exam questions! (Revised) ...
The next day, Jiang Yuemian opened her eyes sleepily and yawned.
He reached out and scooped 001 up: "Wake up, check how your faith points are coming along."
[Hmm... Mianmian, it shows... Faith value is 80. Mianmian, it's increased!]
Jiang Yuemian thought her faith value would naturally increase significantly, but to her surprise, after a whole night, it only increased by a tiny amount without any noticeable difference.
If Nangong Chen were here, he would definitely say: No, Fifth Uncle, isn't a worker's life a life too!
She had wanted to stay in bed a little longer, but with so little faith points, how could she possibly lie down?
She could only sit up abruptly in annoyance, her movement causing 001 to fall to the side with a cry of "Ouch!", but she didn't seem to care.
Thinking to himself, it seems this is going to force her to inspect the library! Let her see who hasn't been doing their homework properly.
Jiang Yuemian flew to the library on her sword, which was the "library" of the cultivation world. She strode up the steps, and the disciples she knew greeted her as she passed by.
"Isn't this the Immortal Venerable Lan Yue? What brings you to the library today?"
"Yes, could it be that something important has happened?"
"I don't know, but the Moon-Gazing Immortal Venerable's expression looks quite unpleasant."
She listened to the surrounding chatter and walked to the front door.
With both hands pushing the door open, the disciples inside the library all looked over, then pretended to be nonchalant and whispered to their companions.
"Why would the Moon-Gazing Immortal Venerable come here?"
"I don't know either."
"She doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
How could Jiang Yuemian be in a good mood? She came over excitedly early this morning just to check on their studies. But what about them? They lost focus as soon as someone came.
They even whispered to each other in front of her, thinking she hadn't seen them.
"Really? I'm in a bad mood too." A soft, resentful voice came from behind.
The two were startled and turned around to see Jiang Yuemian with her hands behind her back, her eyes filled with resentment.
Heh... Not only did he not study properly, but he also got caught by the Moon-Embracing Immortal.
The two greeted each other nervously: "Immortal Venerable Lan Yue."
"Um."
Jiang Yuemian nodded, then changed the subject after saying only one word: "Are you the disciples who are participating in the Inner Sect Competition this time?"
"Yes, yes, yes," the two stammered.
"How's your civil service exam preparation going?"
"Do you even know how to write an essay?" she continued in a nonchalant tone.
"If there's been no progress in either area, how can you be so relaxed and chatting like this?"
"There must be a lot of progress, right? Then let me test our Liwen Palace's top disciple, shall we?" Her tone was still gentle, but you could hear a sense of urgency in it.
What's more, this is the Moon-Gazing Immortal Venerable!
The two disciples broke out in a cold sweat and trembled slightly.
Before they could reply, Jiang Yuemian gritted her teeth and looked at them, continuing, "If that's the case, then I'll test you."
How could Jiang Yuemian not have complaints? She was still doing practice problems late into the night to collect faith points, while they spent their days eating, drinking, and having fun, contributing countless amounts of faith points.
Moreover, she was collecting faith points to resist the demon invasion, which wasn't just her business, even though they didn't know it.
But I said she should at least work harder to improve her cultivation. Otherwise, how could she possibly handle the demon invasion all by herself? Besides, she was genuinely angry that she didn't know how to utilize the good resources she had.
Since that's the case, then we can only let them experience the "joy" of doing practice problems as well.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuemian smiled veiledly and said, "Listen to the question."
The two disciples smiled wryly and could only nod in agreement.
"A certain sect wants to select four cultivators from seven individuals—Jia, Zi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, and Geng—to form a competition team to participate in the inter-sect sect competition. Based on their usual training, the selection must meet the following conditions:"
1. If E participates, then C must also participate.
2. G will not participate unless B participates.
3. At least one of A and B can participate, but neither can participate.
4. At least one of E and F must participate, but not both.
Based on the above statements, which of the following students are certain to participate in the sect competition?
A. Ji or Geng, or both of them.
B. Either E or G, but not both.
C. C and D, or both of them participate.
D. C and E, or both of them participate.
You have one minute to answer the question. Let's begin.
This... this...
The two disciples frantically began searching for paper to calculate.
Jiang Yuemian then said to the disciples around her, "You can also test yourselves to see if you can do it, otherwise... you won't even pass the written test in the inner sect competition."
As soon as she spoke, the disciples who were secretly glancing over here were instantly alerted and hurriedly started doing the questions as well.
As time ticked by, the two disciples grew increasingly flustered, their backs soaked with sweat, and the answer they had written was only half complete.
The two were already in such a sorry state, but Jiang Yuemian still had no intention of letting them go. She parted her lips slightly and said, "Time's up~"
The sudden reminder made their hearts skip a beat. They were caught between a rock and a hard place, unsure whether to move their pens or not. Finally, they gritted their teeth, threw the pens on the table, and pleaded for forgiveness with trepidation: "Your Excellency, we disciples cannot do it."
The surroundings became even quieter, with only their breathing audible.
The two waited anxiously for Jiang Yuemian to speak.
But the lack of sound only fueled their growing fear.
If they are guilty, let them go to the toilet without toilet paper or forget to cover themselves with a blanket when they sleep, instead of being caught gossiping in front of the Moon-Gazing Immortal and being put on a quiz right there!
Waaaaaah, Mother, I want to go home!
"Won't?"
finally.
Jiang Yuemian's voice came over, and although the two were nervous and scared, it was still better than waiting without daring to breathe.
Although there are fewer people going in and more going out now, to give an example:
One is to deliver a direct verdict, the other is to pin you down with a knife hanging over your head, neither snapping down nor taking it away, leaving you feeling uneasy and amplified with fear. How can they be the same?
The two dared not respond, but lowered their heads and trembled.
Jiang Yuemian took a breath, suppressing her anger, and turned to look at the squinting eyes around her, forcing a smile: "And you, you're not going to tell me you can't do it either, are you?"
The surrounding disciples dared not respond, and for a moment they didn't even dare to breathe.
Jiang Yuemian's anger flared up instantly. She turned to look at the two disciples, a forced smile on her face: "You don't know how? If you don't know how, why don't you study properly?"
"You can't concentrate? You keep glancing at every person who comes in through the door. You'd be better off learning one more problem in that time!"
She then casually pointed with her finger and grabbed one of the disciples' ears, saying, "And you dare to whisper in front of me? Don't you think I can't see you slacking off?"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Immortal Venerable, be gentle!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuemian lowered the hand, exasperated: "It's good that it hurts. You won't learn your lesson if it doesn't hurt. The inner sect competition is just around the corner, and all you do is pretend in the library. You can fool others, but don't fool yourselves too."
The two disciples blushed instantly at what he said.
A series of chuckles rippled through the crowd. Jiang Yue's expression changed, a cold smile playing on her lips: "What? You said they were talking about you, but not you?"
The laughter around them stopped immediately. The disciples were so embarrassed that they blushed and wished they could disappear into the ground.
“You are even worse than those two. Liwen Palace is a sect, and all disciples should be united as one. Do you find it funny to see them being criticized?”
No one answered.
"say!"
"Reporting to the Immortal Lord! It's not funny!"
Jiang Yuemian added, "Since you don't find it funny, then don't let me see this kind of mocking of fellow disciples happen again next time, otherwise you will be dealt with according to the sect rules."
The immortal's voice was light and airy, but it instantly startled the disciples.
If the disciples were ashamed of not being able to solve the problem just now, their faces are now filled with regret.
Although the two disciples who had been reprimanded still looked embarrassed, they were more energetic and spirited because of Jiang Yuemian's protection, and were not as dejected as before.
[Ahhhhhh! Mianmian~ You're so handsome! Absolutely stunning!] 001 had been sitting quietly on Jiang Yuemian's shoulder while she was speaking, and now that she saw that Jiang Yuemian's temper had subsided, she quickly said some nice things.
Jiang Yuemian ignored its flattery, and a resentful voice echoed in her heart.
001, sigh, their cultivation environment is just too good. Indeed, life is born in hardship and dies in comfort.
They're really pushing her, haha, well, this is the only way.
Jiang Yuemian glanced at the spirit-gathering array buried around her with an unfriendly look, and slowly took out spirit stones one by one from her storage bag.
Finally, he simply collapsed onto the ground.
The surrounding disciples were completely bewildered by Jiang Yuemian's appearance.
Just as everyone was wondering, Jiang Yuemian drew her sword with her left hand, poured spiritual power into it, and then the spirit stones on the ground seemed to come alive and floated into the air one after another.
The disciples were instantly dumbfounded, admiring the sight.
At this moment, Jiang Yuemian drew a talisman in the air with her right hand, and a vast yet gentle spiritual energy spread around everyone, making them feel refreshed and relaxed.
In the blink of an eye, the talisman in the air was completed. Jiang Yuemian raised her hand, and the rows of spirit stones began to rotate around the talisman in the air. Then, Jiang Yuemian flicked her sword tip, and the spiritual power and talisman she was wrapped in instantly flew to various parts of the spirit gathering array, slowly merging with the spirit gathering array to form a new array.
Suddenly, everyone felt the air in the library grow cold.
Jiang Yuemian sheathed her sword. Seeing their shocked expressions, she clapped her hands and said, "Alright, the formation here has been modified. This environment is perfect for your cultivation. From now on, enjoy the cool winters and hot summers!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuemian walked out without waiting for anyone's reaction.
If you're looking for the perfect environment for studying, the school library is the place to be. In winter, your hands are too cold to hold a pen, and in summer, your head is buzzing from the heat – it's the ideal place to learn.
She thought, "Now who would dare not contribute their faith? Once the compatible magic artifact is successfully crafted, won't the value skyrocket?"
Phew, finally I feel relieved.
Jiang Yuemian thought to herself that she could now go back to sleep peacefully.
However, she then thought that she should probably tell her senior brother about this.
So he touched the communication slip at his waist, tapped it repeatedly, and finally gritted his teeth and sent a voice message.
Xiao Mingjue had just finished dealing with the matter of changing the questions for the outer sect when the communication device at his waist suddenly heated up.
He immediately had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, came Xiao Wu's slightly guilty words: Senior brother, I have changed the formation of the library. It is now the most suitable place for me to cultivate. Don't worry.
Xiao Mingjue's lips twitched: ...
Xiao Wu is truly...
He inadvertently looked up and met his disciple's gaze, and for some reason, he felt a little guilty and touched his nose.
there
Jiang Yuemian was preparing to fly back on her sword.
Then another voice called out: "Immortal Venerable! Please wait!"
