Chapter 303 A Group Attack

Gao left.

Old Lady Shen came to her senses and asked Shen Qingmo: "Why did you let her go? Who is that Gu family? They are very powerful, even more powerful than you?"

Shen Qingmo's face looked a little ugly, and he said, "They are all children of aristocratic families."

Gao was on good terms with Feng Ying, so how could the people they interacted with be bad?

"She will regret it." Shen Qingmo's eyes darkened: "I want to see what's so great about those children from aristocratic families."

After he finished speaking, the woman on his shoulder laughed strangely, but he couldn't hear it.

…………

The imperial court attached great importance to the talent selection ceremony, which was held every few years. Officials from the Honglu Temple and examiners led a group of people to hold a grand ceremony on Suzaku Street.

Then the tribute temple was opened.

Feng Ying originally felt that she was too old and was embarrassed to come to such a place, but when she looked around, she saw people older than her, some of whom even had white hair and beards, and they were still carrying swords to take the exam.

Compared to this, she looks really young.

A Liu asked for leave from the Queen, changed into plain clothes and came to cheer for Li Jidao.

Seeing that Feng Ying was a little nervous, she asked, "Aren't you exempted from the test and went directly to the third level? Why are you so nervous?"

Feng Ying had previously saved Shen Yunu's daughter, so all the previous ones were forgiven.

Feng Ying: “…”

"I'm nervous about who I will be tomorrow."

Ah Liu: “…”

She walked up to Li Jidao and said, "Madam, you don't seem nervous at all."

Li Jidao nodded: "I don't have that kind of emotion."

"I was born rich, I have everything, I'm never nervous."

"I've even died!" She said the last sentence in a low voice to A Liu.

Ah Liu: “…”

Okay, okay, I thought you could speak, but I didn't expect the first thing you learned was to brag.

Li Jidao wanted to talk to A Liu, but when she turned her head, she suddenly found that there seemed to be something wrong with A Liu's parents' palace.

Before, A Liu had a lonely look on her face, but after she returned to the palace, her nose bridge had changed.

Now it's back to normal.

Did I see it wrong, or is something going to happen?

At this time, drums sounded and the gate of the tribute courtyard opened.

The students lined up and waited for their identities to be verified before they could enter.

The Xuanshi Sect doesn't have to go through so much trouble. They don't need to search people because cheat sheets are useless.

They were taken directly by officials from the Honglu Temple to a large open space behind the Gongyuan.

Then the roll call and the drawing of lots will begin for the first elimination match.

There were a total of 880 people, fighting in pairs.

It looks like they are going to compete in terms of strength.

Yes, as a master of the mystical arts, fighting skills are essential. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, if you cannot guarantee your own safety, you will be easily killed.

Of course, if you don't have any martial arts skills, then you have to see if the magic weapons and family inherited skills can protect you.

The official announced: "Because one of us has received a direct pass card, one person will be singled out, so there is also a direct pass card in our lottery box. The person who draws the direct pass card can advance directly and does not need to compete in the next round."

After hearing this, Chen Jiao Niang whispered, "Isn't this too unreliable? What if I draw the eldest grandson Zhan? Wouldn't I be eliminated directly?"

Changsun Zhan, Gu Changqing, Leng Chaoyuan, and King Luoyang are all here, who can she beat?

She can't even beat Zhang Sunting.

If Xie Wuhen met her, he would definitely not give in.

How do you compare this?

By luck?

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound wave from the deep sea.

Li Jidao just felt it when people around him exploded with their heads in their hands.

Li Jidao and Chen Jiaoniang stood together.

She saw Chen Jiaoniang holding her head with a look of pain on her face. The joints of her hands were white and the veins were bulging, as if she could not hold on any longer.

She quickly raised her hand and placed it on Chen Heniang's head.

Chen Heniang's expression immediately improved a lot.

Li Jidao said: "Someone is using a musical instrument to attack everyone."

But the draw hasn't even started yet, who is so impatient? Aren't you afraid of meeting a tough opponent?

Suddenly, an invisible shield covered everyone in the open space.

Li Jidao was very familiar with this feeling and knew that it was Song Jie who was helping everyone.

She took the opportunity to pluck the jade ring on her waist. With a crisp "ding" sound, the other party's instrument stopped.

Li Jidao turned around and saw that Chang Sunting had just put down the xiao in her hand.

But her perception is not strong, and her musical instrument skills are not that powerful, unless someone helps her.

Li Jidao saw that Sun Zhan was not with Song Jie, but with her.

In addition to Chang Sun Zhan, there is also Cui Chengfeng.

However, Chang Sunting did it very secretly, and everyone saw that Cui Chengfeng was holding a flute in his hand.

But Li Jidao was sure that the sound was not made by Cui Chengfeng.

Cui Chengfeng still chose Song Yun. Isn’t Chang Sun Ting on King Qi’s team?

Why did they join forces?

Adding the eldest son Sun Zhan, it would be fine if these three people fought alone, but it would be really hard to deal with them if they joined forces.

After all, when she was in good shape, she might only be slightly stronger than Cui Chengfeng. Now, she was no match for Cui Chengfeng at all.

Song Jie also stopped and turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"

He didn't name anyone, but he definitely knew it was related to someone from Changsun's family.

Chang Sun Zhan looked evasive and didn't dare to face Song Jie directly.

A cultivator from the Cui family said with a smile, "Your Highness, we didn't do anything. We were just in a hurry today. My husband still has things to do after the competition. So how long will it take for more than 800 people to compete? I think this method is just the right way to eliminate some useless people, right?"

The examiner said, "But you didn't set the rules."

Cui's master said, "But I think your rules are unfair. Originally, sixty people would be selected from the list. With your rules, the top sixty people might meet the top twenty and be eliminated before they even make the list."

The examiner said solemnly, "But luck is also the key to whether a master cultivator can be qualified to serve as an official in the imperial court."

70% hard work and 30% destiny.

But people are born with three points which are more important.

Why do we need to mention 70% hard work?

Because if you don't work hard to the 70% level, you won't see any rewards at all.

So luck may be more important than strength for most people.

Cui Chengfeng put away his flute, took a step forward and said, "But I think they met me because they were unlucky enough."

"Why don't you ask these people lying down, who can stand up and fight again?"

This time, they knocked down 780 people.

There were exactly sixty left.

Including Feng Ying, there are sixty-one people. If one is removed, all of them can become officials.

There was a sigh in the venue.

Li Jidao looked at Cui Chengfeng and asked, "I remember that you, the Cui family, promised not to participate in the competition."

The Cui family stole her body and were caught. In order to save face, this was the exchange condition chosen by Cui Zhendong.

Cui Chengfeng took a deep look at Li Jidao, then looked at Song Jie before saying, "Oh, we just agreed not to take first place, but we didn't say we wouldn't compete."

If you can't get first place, what's the point of competing?

Li Jidao frowned, wondering what kind of medicine the Cui family was selling.
