Chapter 432 Young Scholar
There were probably dozens of people in this group.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he was stopped by a man wearing a blue shirt who looked like a scholar.
The man asked softly, "Where are you going?"
"Brother Gao!" The others were delighted when they saw him. They immediately surrounded him, and he became the center of attention.
This man was very young, but as soon as he appeared, everyone regarded him as the backbone and surrounded him.
Yun Jin fell to the very end, and she couldn't help but feel curious. She found someone and asked softly, "Who is that blue-robed scholar up there? Everyone seems to trust him so much."
The man glanced at Yun Jin and lowered his voice: "You don't know him?"
Yun Jin shook her head. "This is my first time meeting him. Is he famous?"
The man said softly, "This is Gao Jingxuan, the former top scholar. When he won, Master Qin personally bestowed upon him the Red Flower, and said with a sigh: 'If it weren't for your spiritual roots, you could have protected the peace of the Canglan Nation for another thousand years.'"
Yun Jin narrowed her eyes.
This evaluation is indeed very high.
Qin Ping protected the Canglan Kingdom for a thousand years. What he meant was that Gao Jingxuan in front of him could replace him and protect the Canglan Kingdom for another thousand years.
Qin Ping is considered to be one of the top cultivators in the dynasty. This comment is enough to prove how much he recognizes Gao Jingxuan.
Yun Jin couldn't help but become even more curious: "Why do you say that he is hindered by his spiritual root aptitude? Is this person's spiritual root aptitude very poor?"
The man couldn't help but sigh. He truly felt sorry for Gao Jingxuan. "He has the lowest of the five spiritual roots. After decades of cultivation, he has only just made it to the Foundation Establishment stage. It's extremely difficult to make further progress."
Five spiritual roots?
Yun Jin's eyes couldn't help but move slightly.
She looked at Gao Jingxuan's back, and suddenly had an idea, so she tried to use her Wisdom Eye skill.
A discerning eye can see a person's fortune and, to some extent, his future achievements.
As soon as the skill was activated, Yun Jin's eyes were dazzled.
This top scholar who is only in the foundation-building stage, his luck is actually golden, and there is a hint of purple in the gold.
Purple air comes from the east, this is the strongest fortune.
All purple is the best luck.
But the color second only to purple is gold.
Gao Jingxuan's luck was pure gold, with a hint of purple in it. This was already the pinnacle of luck.
Yun Jin couldn't help but be shocked.
What a shit luck she has.
I just looked at a person randomly, and found that he had this kind of luck value that is one in a million.
Yun Jin looked at Gao Jingxuan's back and suddenly became meaningful.
This world.
Perhaps only her wisdom can see through a person's overall destiny.
This luck represents a person's potential and future achievements.
If the luck is always suppressed and cannot be released, Gao Jingxuan's golden luck will gradually decrease until he is indistinguishable from the crowd.
Yunjin even doubted it.
Gao Jingxuan's initial luck was probably not just this trace of purple energy.
If he had lived a thousand years ago and had the original Xuan Jue, he would probably have been a master.
But he lived in an era where the five spiritual roots were considered useless.
He has never been able to find the true profound secret to practice, and his future potential has been declining.
Now this golden and purple luck is probably the result of a decrease.
But if he meets a famous teacher and cultivates to the true profound secret, the luck that originally belonged to him may slowly return, allowing him to embark on the path of becoming a strong man that he should have taken.
Yun Jin thought so, and her eyes became thoughtful as she looked at Gao Jingxuan.
This person is quite interesting.
That’s just right, she can follow and observe further.
Yunjin values character more than potential.
If his character is decent, Yun Jin might consider taking her under her wing and making her Ye Cheng's junior apprentice.
after all.
Her profound secret also needs a successor.
After deciding to accept Gao Jingxuan as his disciple, Yun Jin continued to observe him silently.
Gao Jingxuan's cultivation level was not high. Just as that person said, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and even at the initial stage.
but.
Those around him who had higher cultivation than him all looked willing to follow his orders.
"Brother Gao, we have decided to go to the capital. If those people don't release the national teacher, we will crash into the city wall and die. More deaths will definitely attract the attention of the Demon-Breaking Alliance." One person said.
"That's right. We have all seen through life and death. As long as we can rescue the Imperial Master, we will do anything."
Everyone started talking at once, and it was obvious that they were in a state of great anger.
"Master Qin's enemies are powerful, and the leader of the Wushuang Sect will most likely be timid and dare not take action. We are the only ones who can save the Master!" another person said.
Gao Jingxuan's frown deepened, and he slowly said, "Don't say that again. The Wushuang Sect already sacrificed for this world a thousand years ago. That was a noble act. Now, are you trying to force them to sacrifice again? Such thoughts are unbecoming of human beings."
As Gao Jingxuan spoke, the man's face turned slightly red. He couldn't help but say, "That's not what I meant. It's just that everyone says that the leader of the Wushuang Sect..."
Gao Jingxuan interrupted him directly, "What they say doesn't matter. Fairy Yun from the Wushuang Sect has never received favors from the Imperial Master, nor from the Canglan Nation. I wonder how you can have the nerve to ask them to intervene. This is Canglan Nation's business, and we should resolve it ourselves."
Gao Jingxuan has a very high prestige, and when he said this, everyone nodded immediately.
"Brother Gao, why don't you take the lead and lead us to the capital. Although our strength is small, we still have a life to risk." Everyone said.
Gao Jingxuan couldn't help but say, "Have you forgotten what Fairy Feng said? Fairy Feng said that ordinary people are not allowed to enter the capital. Now that people are allowed to enter but not leave, I'm afraid there's something wrong."
"So we're really not going to do anything?"
"I absolutely cannot agree to that."
"Master Qin has done me a great favor. I must make this journey."
Everyone was quite excited and it was obvious that they couldn't be stopped.
Gao Jingxuan thought for a moment and said slowly, "Alright. Then I'll take the lead. You guys follow."
Everyone was delighted. They elected Gao Jingxuan as the leader and asked him to lead them to rescue Qin Ping.
Yun Jin looked at Qin Ping with some interest. She mixed in with the group and followed him.
This Gao Jingxuan is indeed very prestigious.
He is the one who makes the decision whenever there is any problem.
If there is a quarrel in the team, he is also needed to arbitrate.
Gao Jingxuan could often make things clear in just a few words, and both parties were convinced.
Yun Jin silently came to a conclusion in her heart.
This is a natural born leader.
No wonder, Qin Ping said, Gao Jingxuan could inherit his mantle.
How can we protect a country if we cannot convince the people?
With the same goal in mind, everyone set out towards the capital, traveling through the open air and enduring hardships.
Yunjin also discovered.
Gao Jingxuan seemed to specialize in walking on difficult mountain roads.
It's a nice name, and it's faster this way.
It is indeed fast, but it is also more difficult to walk.
Along the way, many people were naturally left behind.
Gao Jingxuan then arranged for someone to drive Pegasus to send these people back.
Waited halfway.
Some people became timid and wanted to leave halfway.
Those who wanted to leave were pushed in front of Gao Jingxuan by the angry crowd.
Yunjin followed the crowd and watched.
She also wanted to see how Gao Jingxuan would handle this matter.
The young scholar calmly glanced at the blushing people who were being pushed forward by the crowd, and said, "Let them go."
"Mr. Gao, aren't they shaking the morale of the army?" someone said anxiously.
Gao Jingxuan sighed and said, "Entering the capital is a life-or-death situation. Everyone has an instinctive fear of death. Asking people to abandon this instinct is simply asking too much."
Gao Jingxuan glanced at everyone and said slowly, "The capital is only a day's journey away. I'll make it clear again that I will go to the capital to rescue the Imperial Master. This is my personal wish, but I can't force my personal wishes on everyone."
Gao Jingxuan said calmly, "Everyone's life is equally precious. I'm willing to risk my own life to save the Imperial Master. This is my personal matter. If someone isn't willing, what's wrong with that? Everyone's life is important. It doesn't mean I'm noble just because I'm willing to sacrifice my own life. It's just because I'm alone and have nothing to worry about."
Gao Jingxuan said softly, "Even if this incident hadn't happened, I would still like to ask everyone again. Are you truly prepared to sacrifice your lives on this journey to the capital? To those who are withdrawing now, please believe me, you are not cowards. It's just that you have more important things to do if you stay alive. I have brought you all on this journey, which has already proved your loyalty to the Imperial Master. You will not be allowed to accompany me on this journey."
Gao Jingxuan's implication was that he led everyone on this journey so that they could express their respect for Master Qin. Now that the respect had been expressed, it was enough.
He has to walk this dead end alone.
Gao Jingxuan suddenly said this, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.
They have been gone for a whole day, how can we suddenly ask them to leave?
Those who had just wanted to escape looked even more ashamed.
One of them said, "Mr. Gao, I know I was wrong. I want to go to the capital with you."
Gao Jingxuan sighed. Did these people think he was deliberately speaking in a sarcastic way?
He said directly: "Those of you in the team who have wives, parents, and children at home, please stand up."
Everyone looked at each other for a while, and nearly half of them stood up.
Gao Jingxuan bowed to them and said, "By taking this half of the journey, you have fulfilled your duty to the Imperial Master. By not taking the next half, you are fulfilling your responsibility to your families. Please leave."
Yun Jin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. This Gao Jingxuan was really interesting.
He actually wanted to stop everyone from going to the capital.
but.
He knew the previous situation and no amount of persuasion would work.
Just take everyone on the road first.
Use the difficult road first to eliminate a large number of people.
Afterwards, when everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, he stood up again to persuade them.
Before, no one listened.
But this time, there were obviously more people who listened.
He then gave an irresistible reason: if you have family to worry about, please leave the team.
At this moment, everyone has calmed down, so the difficulty of persuading them is naturally much easier than before.
But these people still looked at each other and expressed their unwillingness to leave.
Gao Jingxuan was very firm: "Please leave."
His face was calm, but there was a hint of certainty in his voice.
The rest of the people also tried to persuade them: "If you still have concerns, don't follow us to die. Please leave."
These people have no recourse.
They could only leave the team with tears in their eyes and stand aside. The few people who wanted to escape before were among those with families.
Gao Jingxuan glanced at the remaining people and said, "Those under the age of 30, please come out."
A few more people came out.
Yunjin was not yet thirty years old, but she stood there without moving.
Her appearance has changed now, and no one can tell her real age.
What's more, the age of a cultivator cannot be judged from the appearance.
"You guys are still young and have never seen the real world. It is unwise to take such a risk. Please leave." Gao Jingxuan made a gesture of invitation.
These people also left with red eyes.
"Those who are over a hundred years old, please leave."
"You are the magistrate of a city and are responsible for the fate of the people. Please leave."
"Your legs are not handy, and I'm afraid you can't keep up with the journey. Please leave."
"you……"
Gao Jingxuan found reasons one by one and persuaded everyone to leave.
In the end, only five or six people were left.
Gao Jingxuan frowned, as if he couldn't think of a reason.
After the crowd had thinned out, he immediately spotted Yun Jin, who looked a little unfamiliar, and couldn't help but say, "This girl does look a little unfamiliar."
Yun Jin blinked and said, "I am just an ordinary citizen, following you out of gratitude for your righteous act."
Gao Jingxuan couldn't help but say: "The girl looks weak, please go back."
Yun Jin knew Gao Jingxuan was just looking for an excuse to dissuade everyone. She deliberately raised an eyebrow and said, "Have I been lagging behind on the progress along the way, or have I been a burden to everyone? Mr. Gao said I was weak, but that's a slander. I absolutely cannot listen to it."
Gao Jingxuan frowned and looked at the rest of the people. He was about to speak.
One of the few remaining people chuckled softly, "Brother Gao, there's no need to persuade us any further. We have no parents, no relatives, and no friends. We are deeply indebted to the Imperial Master. It's absolutely impossible for us to leave."
Another person also said: "Brother Gao wants to persuade us to leave, but he himself has no intention of leaving. This behavior is extremely inappropriate."
Gao Jingxuan couldn't help but sigh.
He advised everyone to stay calm. He also knew that Feng Linglong must have a reason for advising them not to enter the capital.
but.
Qin Ping was his mentor. He couldn't just do nothing and watch Qin Ping die.
He just wanted to go there alone to see if there was any chance of improvement.
But now…
Gao Jingxuan looked at the determined eyes of the remaining people and could only nod: "Then let's move on."
The Pegasus arranged by Gao Jingxuan arrived quickly for those who stayed behind and continued to send them back to the city.
Gao Jingxuan and the remaining five people continued to move forward.
Along the way.
Gao Jingxuan couldn't help but pay more attention to Yunjin.
For no other reason.
It’s just that Yunjin is too unfamiliar.
He knew the remaining few people, either they were his classmates or had received favors from the national teacher.
But what about this woman?
Why would she take such a huge risk and go to the capital with them?
