When the wind blows, the bells sound clear and melodious, like the sound of heaven.
Before the hour of noon, the outside of the school was already packed with spectators, as numerous as a surging tide.
Ordinary people squeezed in the crowd, standing on tiptoe to look around; rich children booked elegant seats in the teahouses facing the street, fanning themselves and sipping tea.
In Daxiangguo Temple, the monks paused their morning prayers and gathered at the mountain gate to gaze into the distance.
The pilgrims climbed up the bell tower and looked down at the debate platform from its height.
At Zhouqiao Wharf, the boatmen took a break from their work and squatted on the bow of the boat, looking into the distance.
The vendors pushed their sour plum soup along the street and sold it, taking the opportunity to raise the price by 30%.
All the officials from the prefectural and county governments went out on patrol.
Such a lively scene made countless people amazed.
The little kids who followed the middle-aged master to cheer for Master Cui were completely blocked by the crowd in front of them and could not see anything except people.
So he kept asking anxiously: "Is he here? Sir! Has Master Cui finally arrived? I'm so worried!"
Not just these little kids.
The countless audiences present were also waiting anxiously.

Time passed slowly until it was almost noon.
A luxurious carriage slowly drove in along the road specially reserved by the officers.
Almost at the moment the carriage appeared.

The old abbot chuckled, stood up from his cushion, and personally rang the bronze bell in front of the mountain gate.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a tall young man in red clothes walked out of the carriage.
He had a silk belt around his waist and his hair was tied up with a jade hairpin. Even without seeing his face, just looking at his back, one could tell that he looked extraordinary.
And the moment this person appeared.
The others were still staring with wide eyes, trying to get a clear look at the young man's appearance.
Under the debate stage.
Pei Jian, Yan Siyuan and others all began to cheer loudly.
Great! Cui Xian/Jia Shao arrived first!
Pei Jian led a group of people and shouted excitedly: "Cui Xian! Cui Xian!"
Yan Siyuan and other anti-Xian alliance black fans screamed loudly: "Jia Shao! Jia Shao!"
They shouted until they were hoarse.
So many people around were wondering: Is it Jia Shao who came, or Cui Xian?
Pei Jian and Yan Siyuan's groups also looked at each other in confusion.
And I think the other person is an idiot from the bottom of my heart.
No, buddy, is it possible that you have been criticized so much that your brain has gone mad? You don't even recognize me anymore?
A teahouse on the street.
He Xu and the others were also looking around, and asked curiously: "Did you see clearly, who arrived first?"
Meng Shen looked at it for a long while before laughing and saying, "It was Brother Jia Shao. I saw it clearly! The way he appeared on the stage was truly shocking! The bells of Daxiangguo Temple were rung, and countless audiences cheered and welcomed him."
"You are truly a peerless talent!"
beside.
Hearing that it was Jia Shao who came, Su Qi's heart settled down, but then it unconsciously rose again and he kept looking outside.
Jia Shao has arrived, so... Cui Xian should be here soon, right?
Is it possible that I can be friends with both Jia Shao and Cui Xian?
Su Qi knitted his eyebrows together, feeling irritated, this possibility -
Probably not possible.

The young man in red, under the gaze of countless astonished eyes, swiftly got off the carriage.
Then he stretched out his hand and carefully helped a fat old man down.
The face of the young man in red was revealed in front of everyone.
What a handsome face!

I just don’t know, is he Jia Shao or Cui Xian?
It’s the fault of those idiots under the debate stage, they kept making so much noise that no one knew who was coming!

Mr. Dong Lai took his little apprentice and stepped onto the debate platform step by step.
There was a wind at high altitude, and the copper bells around the stage were ringing. The young man behind him had his red robe fluttering, making him particularly eye-catching and dazzling.
