At this time, countless people gathered in front of the clock tower. There were trembling old people, staggering and cursing after being pushed, and there were also children as young as seven or eight years old, weaving in and out of the crowd, making it very lively.
In front of the bell tower, two girls dressed as maids with arrogant looks were looking at everyone. One of them, dressed in purple, was holding something that looked like a notice in her arms.
The other woman in white smiled, and the noisy environment around them suddenly became quiet. Everyone was waiting for the woman in white to speak.
Xue Zonglin whispered in front of Yang Zhen, "Brother Yang Kang, this is your first time here, so you don't know about the Su family's announcement, right?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "I was just about to ask you about this. The two little girls in front seem a little arrogant."
Xue Zonglin smiled bitterly and said, "It's more than just arrogance. Cuiwei and his daughter are the personal maids of the Su family. Their status in Tieling City is even higher than that of some young masters from famous families. I don't know how many young masters want to win their favor so as to get closer to the Su family."
Yang Zhen smiled and said: "No wonder the two little girls are so arrogant! This is no wonder!"
Xue Zonglin sneered and said, "Only those who are not worthy of the reputation will resort to such lowly means. Those who are truly talented will participate in the monthly competition. Once they are recognized by Master Su and listed on the Wenhua List, they will become famous in Tieling City and become people respected by everyone. If they can be promoted to the top of the list, they will also have the opportunity to debate with Master Su."
"Eloquence?" Yang Zhen was stunned and asked, "What is eloquence?"
Xue Zonglin was stunned, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Well...Xue..."
"Keep quiet!" The woman in white glared at Yang Zhen and Xue Zonglin and snorted, "Master Xue, do you have any doubts about the notice?"
Xue Zonglin's expression changed, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, how dare Xue question Mr. Su!"
Yang Zhen chuckled and looked at the woman in white with interest. The woman in white was not very old, but she had a bad temper.
The woman in white looked hesitant, then looked at Yang Zhen and asked, "This young man looks unfamiliar, are you new to Tieling City?"
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously turned to Yang Zhen and started talking.
"He looks very unfamiliar. I have never seen this young master before. Is he really new to Tieling City?"
"I heard that the arrogant Yang Zhen has also come to Tieling City, and he even shouted in the crowd that he is Yang Zhen. He is really arrogant!"
"But this person shouldn't be Yang Zhen. Even if Yang Zhen is arrogant, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to come to the bell tower."
"In that case, it shouldn't be the case!"
…
Hearing the discussions around him and seeing the expression of the woman in white, Xue Zonglin hurriedly said, "Miss Wei'er, you misunderstood. Although this Taoist friend is new to Tieling City, he is not Yang Zhen, but Yang Kang!"
Yang Zhen chuckled and said to the woman in white, "Miss Wei'er, I am Yang Kang and I am honored to meet you!"
The woman in white snorted and said expressionlessly: "Then please stop making noise, Young Master Yang!"
Yang Zhen smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. Don't worry, young lady. I'm a very low-key person. How could I do something that would attract attention?"
"That's even better!" The woman in white glanced at Yang Zhen, a rare smile on her face, and said, "Everyone who can come here is talented, so as not to make you a laughing stock!"
Yang Zhen laughed and said, "Thank you for reminding me, young lady!"
Xue Zonglin breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and whispered: "Brother Yang Kang, we'd better watch quietly. There are all talented people here, and many of them have even condensed talent inscriptions. We must not act rashly!"
Yang Zhen nodded and looked at the woman in purple curiously.
Xue Zonglin also looked at the purple-clothed woman with expectation. Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder. He was startled and turned around, his face turned ugly.
"Gong Tianque!"
Yang Zhen turned around in surprise and was stunned.
"You..." Xue Zonglin's face turned pale, and he looked at Gong Tianque and said, "Gong Tianque, let alone Xue, how can you enter the Wenhua List?"
Gong Tianque laughed and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that Xue may really be able to enter the Wenhua List this time!"
"What?" Xue Zonglin's face changed. He looked at Gong Tianque in doubt and said in a deep voice, "Impossible!"
Gong Tianque looked at Xue Zonglin with disdain and said, "Xue Zonglin, remember the agreement we made. If I make it to the Wenhua list, you will get out of Danwen College!"
"Then you have to enter the Wenhua List first!" Xue Zonglin said gritting his teeth, but the expression on his face was a little ugly.
Yang Zhen looked at the two of them curiously. Just as he was about to speak, the crowd suddenly became noisy again.
There were constant exclamations from all around, and even Cuiwei and the other two girls frowned, but this time they did not stop.
Yang Zhen looked in the direction the crowd was looking, and the crowd automatically parted, and a group of people came towards this side, chatting and laughing.
"It's Gan Bailin. I didn't expect Gan Bailin to come here in person!"
"I heard that Gan Bailin is the most popular candidate on the Wenhua list this time. Some time ago, he shocked the entire Danwen College with a single word. He is the most talented student in this year's Danwen College!"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that a little girl recently came to Danwen College. She is incredibly talented and has already condensed the talent inscription at a young age. She is also participating in the Wenhua Ranking this time. I just don't know if she will come to watch the list!"
"My dear brother, you may not know that the little girl is very popular with the Su family. The two have met several times. I heard that the little girl is now in the bell tower of the Su family!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked and looked at Gan Bailin with strange expressions.
"No wonder Gan Bailin looks so bad. It turns out that even if he is the top of the list this time, he may not be able to debate with Mr. Su alone!"
"That may not be the case. Everything depends on Mr. Su's arrangements!"
While everyone was discussing, Gan Bailin and his group glanced to the side and walked straight towards Xue Zonglin.
Xue Zonglin's face turned extremely bad, and he even subconsciously moved behind Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was stunned and asked in surprise: "Brother Xue has a grudge against this Gan Bailin?"
Xue Zonglin smiled bitterly and said, "I just said something that Gan Bailin's talent is not as good as Tian Rou's, and I offended him."
Tian Rou?
Yang Zhen was stunned, and suddenly felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
At this time, Gan Bailin and others came to Xue Zonglin, sneered, and said: "On the day when the notice is posted, since when can even some cats and dogs come?"
As he spoke, Gan Bailin looked at Yang Zhen meaningfully.
Yang Zhen pointed at himself with a confused look on his face and said, "Damn it, are you even scolding this slut?"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Xue Zonglin turned pale and hurriedly pulled at the corner of Yang Zhen's clothes.
Yang Zhen shook off Xue Zonglin's hand, walked up to Gan Bailin, stared at him and said, "Brother, what's your father's surname?"
Also, it’s a bit late and the south wind is blowing.
