Chapter 61: What does the word "almost" mean?
On the eve of the beginning of spring, spring did not arrive as expected.
Instead, a sudden heavy snow fell, leaving a vast expanse of white.
In Youzhou, northern Yunzhou, and the entire Fengzhou, there were people who starved to death or froze to death in ditches on the roadside. In the end, the government sent people to hastily collect their bodies and throw them into mass graves.
Meanwhile, the disciples of Tianshu Academy lead an exceptionally peaceful and leisurely life.
On the one hand, this sense of leisure comes from the departure of Ji You. The immortal sect, which is full of children from aristocratic families, finally no longer has a person like Ji You who was born in the countryside but is so dazzling.
On the other hand, it was because Chu He had already entered the Tongxuan realm, and he had gone to the inner gate to hike in the mountains yesterday.
All the students in the academy were discussing this matter, wondering if this is how the quota for the inner courtyard was decided?
But the autumn competition hasn't started yet, this is against the rules.
However, as Chu He arrived at the Enlightenment Field, the sound quickly stopped, as if it had never existed.
They had been in the hospital for half a year and had gotten to know each other's temperaments. They knew that Chu He was a very vengeful person and there were many things that could not be mentioned.
For example, the Book of Induction, and the two words "Ji You".
However, as a piece of news came from the ruins, a heated discussion broke out in the outer courtyard.
"Have you heard that there was a conflict in the ruins? Lingjian Mountain joined hands with the Daodao Sect to besiege our Tianshu Academy."
"Hey, our Tianshu Academy and Lingjian Mountain have never had any grudges, why is this happening?"
"It is said that Senior Sister Pei and her group brought a lot of spiritual stones before entering the mountain, and the spiritual energy in the ruins was not flowing smoothly, so they were coveted in front of the fairy mountain in the center."
"What was the result?"
"Of course I won."
"Damn, this is indeed our Tianshu Academy, it's so powerful!"
"It is said that a lower third realm master from our academy suddenly showed up and used seven swords to turn the tide of the battle, and even nearly killed a sword cultivator from Lingjian Mountain who was at the Rongdao realm!"
"?"
The immortal connection in the ruins, especially the immortal light in the central immortal mountain, has always been a source of tension for the seven major immortal sects and countless families.
For example, the Lu family of Yunzhou, the Du family of Liangzhou, the Bai family of Youzhou, etc., all had clan masters and outsiders who secretly sneaked into the mountains.
The direct descendants of the noble families in Tianshuyuan do not have to take any risks, but they are extremely well-informed.
At this time, in the Tianshu Academy's enlightenment field, everyone fell silent after hearing the words "perfection of the lower three realms", "one person with seven swords", and "almost killed a Rong Dao master".
Coincidentally, they all remembered a name that they had almost forgotten.
But after thinking about it carefully, he chuckled and shook his head.
But the news that came later confirmed what everyone was thinking, and it caused an uproar.
Ji You attacked in the ruins, using seven swords, and nearly killed a sword cultivator in the Rong Dao realm from Lingjian Mountain...
At this moment, all the students who were seeking enlightenment in the enlightenment field were looking forward, at Chu He, who was wearing a purple brocade robe and had just returned from the inner courtyard yesterday.
"Almost killed a person in Rong Dao realm? Haha."
"Don't you think that the water mixed in these two words, almost, is probably as vast as the mysterious ocean?"
Chu He said this with a cold face, instantly leaving everyone speechless.
Yes, it wasn’t that he really killed a person in Rong Dao Realm, but it was almost the same. This is a huge difference.
The word "almost" is similar to "almost", but no one knows how much almost is.
"Maybe Senior Sister Wen and Senior Brother Ban from the inner courtyard beat someone half to death and asked him to clean up the mess, but he was unable to kill them, and the story ended up saying it was a close call."
"After all, our Tian Academy cares about Zong Wei. Being besieged has already lost face, so it is normal to exaggerate on him."
"So that's how it is..."
In the outer courtyard, as Chu He seized on the word "almost" and made a fuss about it, the children of the surrounding noble families began to echo him.
Lu Qingqiu was sitting not far away. After hearing this, he and Lou Siyi and Sun Zhiqiao looked at each other and they all felt that Chu He's words made sense.
Although the ruins are filled with evil spirits that will suppress spiritual energy, Ji You will also be suppressed.
The act of crossing two realms to kill people was really too exaggerated. It had never happened before in the entire Qingyun world.
However, when the discussion was about to die down, two figures suddenly walked onto the White Jade Bridge of the Bishui Lake, one in front and one behind.
Everyone looked closely and found that one of them was Ding Ang, Chu He's instructor, and the other was Wu Kai, Du Zhu's instructor.
They walked in a hurry with serious faces and arrived at the enlightenment field respectively, whispering with Chu He and Du Zhu.
Soon, Chu He's expression became extremely ugly, and a hint of disbelief appeared in his eyes. He then followed Instructor Ding to the Sword Testing Forest.
Seeing this scene, all the disciples in the enlightenment field were a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.
The Sword Testing Forest is a place for practicing martial arts, and this is something everyone knows.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But among so many students in the External College, only Ji You went there.
Lu Qingqiu also felt confused, but before she could think about it carefully, she saw her instructor Ma Zhiyuan also coming to the field. Although his expression was better than that of Instructor Ding and Instructor Wu, he was also very solemn.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Ma Zhiyuan heard the voice and said, "Qingqiu, do you... still want to compete for a place in the inner courtyard?"
Lu Qingqiu was stunned by the question, and after a long silence, he shook his head.
When she entered the hospital, she did aim to enter the inner courtyard, but after Ji You sensed the heavenly book, Chu He broke through the realm of enlightenment, and Du Zhu surpassed her, she faced the reality.
Things like talent are never reasonable.
Although she currently has four rays of mysterious light, she is still far from the Tongxuan realm and no longer has too many wishful thoughts.
Ma Zhiyuan nodded when he saw this: "In that case, you don't have to go to the Sword Trial Forest."
"Teacher, what happened? Why did you go to the Sword Testing Forest?"
Ma Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back: "I wanted to tell you that if you still want to compete for a place in the inner courtyard, you'd better practice martial arts now. After all, who will be chosen in the end still depends on the result of the fight."
Lu Qingqiu and the disciples around him all looked puzzled: "Even if you want to compete for a place in the inner courtyard, you don't have to practice martial arts, right?"
"Haven't you heard about how Ji You nearly killed a Rong Dao Realm master from Lingjian Mountain in the ruins?"
"But the man in Rong Dao Realm didn't die. The word 'almost' is too exaggerated. Isn't it okay to say that?"
Ma Zhiyuan was silent for a while: "He didn't die not because he couldn't be killed, but because Ji You showed mercy for some reason and saved the life of Rong Daojing."
After the words fell, the outer courtyard disciples were slightly stunned, and then there was an uproar.
That’s right, the word “almost” always means “almost”, and any interpretation is acceptable.
But they had been discussing it for so long, but they never thought that the word "almost" actually meant showing mercy.
A person who has reached perfection in the lower three realms showed mercy to a master in the Rong Dao realm. This condescending feeling made countless people's scalps numb in an instant.
At this moment, Lu Qingqiu and others looked at the Sword Testing Forest and suddenly understood why Chu He and Du Zhu were brought into the Sword Testing Forest.
When Ji You was included in the list of people to explore the mountain, countless people thought that he would miss out on the chance to enter the inner courtyard and become an ordinary person. Worse still, he might even die in the ruins.
But it was not until he spared Rong Daojing's life that everyone realized that things were never like this.
There will be a final competition in the inner courtyard selection. Even though Chu He entered Tongxuan first, everyone still thinks that he will lose miserably to Ji Youshi.
