Old Qin was from the previous dean's generation, and was an elder to Qingjian.
Furthermore, since Elder Qin's intervention was also to protect the Southern Academy, Qingjian merely interrupted Elder Qin without saying anything to him.
Old Qin snorted coldly.
"Dean Qing, if you ask me, next time we encounter this kind of clown, we should just ignore him."
Everyone in the South Campus witnessed this.
Lin Jingge, however, noticed Old Qin talking to Qingjian.
She had a good memory and quickly found Qin Lao's figure in her memory.
No wonder she felt he looked familiar.
In truth, she was able to enter the Southern Academy thanks to Elder Qin. If he hadn't given her an identity token, she probably wouldn't have even considered taking the test.
She couldn't help but smile as she recalled the other person's repeated claims of wanting to be her master.
I'm afraid Old Master Qin has already forgotten about her.
"Gege?" Tang Cheng, who had been watching Lin Jingge closely, asked when she saw her suddenly make a move.
Lin Jingge shook her head: "I'm fine."
"Okay, let's hurry up and catch up, we've arrived at our college."
"good."
After several rounds of maneuvering, the Southern Academy has entered the Cloud Cauldron Sect and has been provided with accommodation.
Fortunately, Yun Ding Sect is large enough, otherwise it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people who came to participate in the competition.
This competition is unlike any other.
This annual year-end competition is crucial for the allocation of top resources across the entire Cloud Peak Continent.
Having better resources means being able to expand one's power.
If it weren't for the Cloud Cauldron Sect and the other four major academies keeping things in check, the Cloud Cauldron Continent would have long since descended into chaos due to the struggle for resources.
"Everyone, get some rest today. We have a competition tomorrow," the teacher leading Lin Jingge's team said before leaving.
He then instructed them to be extra cautious.
After all, the Cloud Soaring Sect has gone to great lengths to squeeze into the top ranks, and they might resort to some despicable means, so we must be wary.
Because there was already a precedent from last year.
If it weren't for the bonus from the formation technique, their Southern Academy would have truly been defeated by those despicable villains from the Cloud Soaring Sect last year.
“Yunxiao Sect…” Lin Jingge murmured the name.
It sounds familiar; I've heard it somewhere before! (Pass)
"Gege, what are you whispering about?" Tang Cheng sat by the window, looking at Lin Jingge who had her head down.
"Huh?" Lin Jingge looked up, her eyes a little confused. After meeting Tang Cheng's gaze, she immediately realized what was happening and shook her head: "She didn't say anything."
"It's already late. You have a pill-refining competition tomorrow, so get some rest." Lin Jingge pressed Tang Cheng onto the bed and pulled the blanket over her.
She, too, sat to the side, meditating and cultivating.
Feeling an even stronger spiritual energy than that of the South Courtyard, Lin Jingge sighed inwardly.
No wonder Yunding Sect is subtly superior to the four major academies; its uniquely advantageous position alone is enough to make others envious.
[GeGe!] Xiao Shi jumped out of the space and landed beside Lin Jingge's knees: [Weren't you just thinking about the Cloud Soaring Sect? I suddenly remembered, there's a Cloud Soaring Sect near that village on the Azure Orchid Continent. This sect and that sect are the same, just on different continents.]
"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Lin Jingge exclaimed in surprise and stood up abruptly.
Tang Cheng hadn't been asleep to begin with, and startled, she sat up instantly: "Huh? Gege, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, you can go back to sleep."
Lin Jingge regained her composure and sat back down.
The next day arrived quickly.
The competition lasted for several days.
The first day's competition was the most popular alchemy contest, and the last day was a martial arts contest.
Tang Cheng yawned and walked up the steps.
"Keep it up," Lin Jingge whispered to Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng turned around and gave Lin Jingge a smile: "Mhm."
Tang Cheng is the best alchemist among the freshmen of the South Academy this year, and everyone pays more attention to her.
After Tang Cheng came on stage, everyone's attention turned to Lin Jingge, who had just been talking with Tang Cheng.
Old Qin was the first to rush forward.
His eyes were filled with excitement, clearly indicating that he had recognized Lin Jingge.
"You really came to the South Campus?!" Old Qin stopped in front of Lin Jingge, speaking with some excitement.
Old Qin's attitude was so agitated that everyone was somewhat bewildered by what they saw.
You know, Old Qin usually has a sour face and is never satisfied with anyone.
When have I ever been this excited?
Lin Fuzhou and his companion, who were standing next to Lin Jingge, were also surprised and both showed expressions of watching the drama unfold.
Lin Jingge felt somewhat helpless.
She had previously thought that Old Qin had forgotten her, but it turned out that it was just because he hadn't seen her.
"That's not right. Since you've come to the South Campus, why haven't I seen you among the freshmen?" After calming down, Old Qin suddenly realized something was amiss.
“I lost to someone else when I was assigned to a class, so I’m not a formal student now.”
Lin Jingge scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
It's no wonder that Old Qin didn't notice her.
You have to understand, prospective students are either doing tasks or on their way to doing tasks. Their studies cost contribution points, and not only that, they receive no benefits whatsoever. They're constantly busy and rarely at the academy, so how could they possibly be noticed?
"Oh, I see..." Old Qin also remembered that the rules for the freshman test had been changed this year.
In the past, it was always the most capable person who was selected, but in recent years, Dean Qing has suddenly made some research on things like luck.
You should know that no one on their continent has ascended to immortality for a very long time.
In Dean Qing's words, it means that one's luck is not enough to take another step forward, and one can only wait to die with the remaining lifespan.
Therefore, this elusive luck test was also included when recruiting students.
"It's alright. So what if you haven't become a formal student? As long as you agree to acknowledge me as your master, in the South Campus, your status will be no different from that of a formal student!"
Old Qin said with a smile.
Lin Fuzhou and Xuan both stared wide-eyed.
Everyone in the South Campus knows about Old Qin's bad temper.
He, who never accepts disciples, is now actually begging someone to become his disciple?!
This is absolutely shocking.
Qingjian stepped forward and glanced at Elder Qin: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I've just spotted a promising talent," Old Qin said with a smile, stroking his beard.
Lin Jingge was somewhat taken aback; she hadn't expected that Elder Qin would still be willing to accept her as a disciple at a time like this.
"I see." Qingjian nodded, then turned to look at Lin Jingge: "This is a good thing."
"Yeah, yeah, little girl, what are you thinking?"
Old Qin looked at Lin Jingge with expectant eyes.
Lin Jingge wasn't entirely surprised to be watched by so many people. She touched her nose, her gaze somewhat evasive.
"Well, actually I'm not interested in formations; what I want to learn is weapon crafting."
Lin Jingge spoke very seriously, and after she finished, she nodded as if she agreed with herself.
