Chapter 453 – Sabers
Bai Qu stood there at a loss of what to do. He didn’t know why, but at this moment, he felt that he was not in the same era as this man who was clearly younger than him. It was not an illusion that An Zheng was old, but a feeling that An Zheng was his own senior. It was as if he could not control his body. He bowed with cupped fists and thanked his solemnly.
However, An Zheng’s attention was no longer on him. It was as if the intersection between the two of them had also ended at this moment, and from today onwards, their worlds would no longer coincide once again.
Bai Qu was slightly disappointed, not because he had lost in battle. He couldn’t explain why he felt this way, he just didn’t want to say goodbye to An Zheng so quickly. But even if he said goodbye, there might still be a day for his to see him again. Because Bai Qu was suddenly very sure that An Zheng would very quickly leave the second courtyard. Although the first and second courts were only separated by a single wall, it was still very difficult to meet them again.
In the distance, the admiration in the eyes of Li Shengshuang, the Principal of the Second Court, who was standing and looking at An Zheng, grew even deeper. He turned around to look at his subordinates and said, “We can’t let him continue to fight. The disciples of the Purple Rankings will have the chance to enter the same courtyard in the future. If they were to be continuously defeated by this young man called Du Shaobai, their mental states will be damaged and the impact will be great in the future. ”
He glanced at Xi Xing, and the meaning in his eyes was clear. I have given you face.
The wager between Xi Qingdeng and Yan Xi Xing was whether or not An Zheng could win against the people in the top ten of the Purple Rankings. This was why Bai Qu, who was ranked eleventh on the Purple Rankings, had shown his face, and that was Li Sheng’s original plan. Li Sheng was very clear that in the Second Courtyard, the best instructor was naturally Yan Xi Xing, but Xi Qingdeng was not far off. Both of them had to be taken care of. This was especially so for face. Sometimes, women cared more about face than men.
Everyone was very clear that Bai Qu’s strength could definitely rank in the top ten of the Purple Rankings, but he just so happened to be ranked eleventh. If they let him fight with An Zheng, Xi Qingdeng wouldn’t lose, because Bai Qu’s strength could enter the top ten, which also meant that An Zheng could enter the top ten. His words did not count as a loss, because Li Shengchang no longer planned for An Zheng to fight with the people from the top ten of the Purple Rankings. Not just any person could become the principal, but this kind of reaction and arrangement wasn’t something that anyone could compare with.
“Isn’t it just him wanting to enter the first courtyard? With his age, his talent should be enough.”
Li Sheng said with a long and profound sentence, “We can’t let the entire Second Courtyard become a mess just because of a single young man.”
Xi Xing turned his head, his eyes were calm, but unwittingly he looked towards An Zheng.
Xi Qingdeng’s attention was on An Zheng the entire time, and his mind was filled with the things that An Zheng had told her before.
“I am a Swallow, and a cultivator at that.” It is my duty to protect my country and my home, and it seems to me that the cultivator’s ability to cultivate is not a blessing, but an arrangement. The more powerful a person is, the more responsibility they have to protect their family. So if they have to die, I choose to die for them. ”
It was a youth only seventeen or eighteen years old. How could he not be respected?
“If you have three coaches from the second division signing an application, then the first division must give an explanation.”
Li Sheng continued, “Now that both of you are willing, the third person … “Let me do it.”
Li Sheng waved his hand. “Supervisor.”
The overseer, who had been recording the results of the competition, immediately came over and asked, “Lord Dean, what are your orders?”
“Please divide the records quickly. The instructor and I will need to usecord to send a joint application with the three of us to the academy.”
The overseer hurriedly nodded his head, “I will make it soon.”
He quickly left, and when he was halfway there, he couldn’t help but turn back and glance at An Zheng.
Li Sheng had someone call An Zheng over. After carefully sizing him up for a while, he said: “You are, however, an outstanding young man. However, I have something I want to warn you about. Enough is enough. Just these four words, you can experience it for yourself. ”
An Zheng shook his head: “Of course I know what to do, but it depends on why. What I have to do now seems to me the most important, so there is no fear. ”
Li Sheng’s long face changed slightly: “Do you know that there aren’t many people in the Second Courtyard that can make me say a few words in front of them?”
An Zheng: “Thank you.”
“That’s all?”
“That’s all.”
An Zheng looked at the old man in front of him. There was no fear in his eyes, no withdrawal, and no change in his emotions. Actually, it’s very simple. Everyone has their own student period. When everyone was in school, regardless of whether they had done bad things or not, no matter if they were boys or girls, very few people could make eye contact with their teachers at that time, and they did not seem to be at a disadvantage at all.
When the disciples normally saw Li Sheng grow up, wasn’t it full of reverence?
After a long period of silence, Li Sheng suddenly understood one thing: “You’re no longer afraid of death, so there’s nothing for you to worry about. You’re afraid of something.”
He shook his head and sighed, “Whaity, what a pity … Although I know that a person like you will definitely have a resolute will, I still want to give you a word of advice. No matter what you encounter, life and death are the most important. If you can survive, you might be able to do what you can’t. Da Xi, there is no doubt that this is the best place to help you level up. In Da Xi, the Three Academies was the best place. I know that you are unwilling to stay in the Second Branch. I hope that you can focus on your cultivation in the First Court.
An Zheng said: “Many thanks, Headmaster. I hope so.”
Li Sheng explained in a simple manner about how he, Xi Qingdeng, and Yan Xi Xing had jointly applied for him to be transferred to the same courtyard. It was only then that An Zheng realised the respect this old man held for him. Logically speaking, what did the State of Yan’s matter have to do with them? Since they were all from the West, they would unconditionally abide by and support the decisions made by the Sacred Emperor. However, even knowing that An Zheng had come for the State of Yan, Li Sheng still made such a decision.
So An Zheng was a little touched in his heart, because many times, there would bype of person that surpassed national boundaries.
Xi Qingdeng was sucerson, but wasn’t Li Sheng the same as well? They were the people of the Da Xi family. If Da Xi needed them, they would sacrifice their own lives for his. But at some point, they think beyond their borders. They did not want to see the sixteen northern small nations destroyed, and did not want to see their souls annihilated. Therefore, they had chosen to help An Zheng in as many situations as possible.
The applications submitted would not necessarily receiveply within the shortest amount of time. Although the chairmen of the two academies were already of high status, they were completely different from the headmasters of the first academy. The headmaster of the first courtyard could enter and exit Holy See at will, but the headmaster of the second courtyard was far from this.
There waot of hot tea on the table.
Li Sheng asked An Zheng a lot of things about the State of Yan, and An Zheng answered no matter what he knew. Other than a few things that needed to be concealed, An Zheng had also made a detailed introduction.
Li Sheng heaved a long sigh, “I’ve long since heard of battles between the sixteen northern empires. Every year, a large number of people die. He had thought that the commoners over there were already pitiful enough, but now he realized that he was only thinking of the tip of the iceberg. Just a little pressure from Da Xi’s side would cause blood to flow likiver … “I should be proud as a Xihe, but there’s only sadness in my heart right now.”
An Zheng bowed and said, “Thank you, Headmaster.”
Li Sheng shook his head: “Everyone says that the golden age is peaceful … However, in this golden age, they were only talking about Da Xi. Outside of the Da Xi, the war was still going on. I can’t help you any further. I’m just trying my best to persuade you to meet the Sacred Emperor. I hope that you can convince him. However, you should know that he is the Holy Emperor of the Great Xixi, the ruler of the world. If he was easily convinced, then Da Xi wouldn’t be as strong as she is now. ”
An Zheng nodded his head: “I know, but I have to try.”
It was Xi Qingdeng who had been waiting in front of the First and Second Academies. After she entered, she said anxiously: “Du Shaobai, prepare yourself, the First Court will soon send two instructors over to test your strength, if they think you have the qualifications to enter the First Court, they will take you away.”
As he said these words, Xi Qingdeng was a little excited and a little disappointed.
For some reason, she felt some reluctance to part from this youth. After hearing what Xi Qingdeng said, Yan Xi Xing, who had been sitting a little further away, turned his head and looked outside the window, and after hearing what Xi Qingdeng had said, silently got up and left.
Li Sheng patted An Zheng’s shoulder gently: “The world is the world of youngsters. If there were more young people in the world who could carry their responsibilities like you, then this flourishing world would not be the golden age of a nation, but the golden age of the world.”
“Go ahead and wait at the door.” There’s a lot more respect for the teachers of a school. ”
An Zheng nodded, cupped his fists in greeting, and followed Xi Qingdeng out.
Xi Qingdeng was walking in front and his footsteps were very slow, “Du Shaobai, if … If you are unable to enter the first courtyard, will you immediately return to State of Yan? ”
An Zheng shook his head: “If I am unable to enter the first courtyard, then I will stay for a few days to think of other methods. The war is coming soon at home, so if I can stop it, it would be for the best. But if I can’t, I must hurry back and live with my family as soon as possible. ”
“Oh …”
Xi Qingdeng casually asked as he walked: “Can’t you think about it for yourself? Even if you are unable to enter the first courtyard this year, you will definitely be able to enter the first courtyard next year after receiving one year of formal instruction from the second courtyard. ”
An Zheng: “For yourself? “Let’s wait for a while more.”
Xi Qingdeng was silent for a long time, as he turned his head to glance at An Zheng. She didn’t know why he felt that way in his heart either. That kind of reluctance was obviously very faint, but the longer he spent in contact with An Zheng, the clearer this reluctance became. In that instant, a ridiculous thought appeared in her mind, but it was quickly thrown away by her. Then she felt waves of fear.
She had even thought of … If Du Shaobai couldn’t stay, she should follow him to the State of Yan.
This idea was too terrifying.
Xi Qingdeng felt that he was afraid, this young man called Du Shaobai had too great of an influence on others. It’s a kind of... The temperament of a leader? Or perhaps, it was the aura of a saint? Even though he was still so young, he had a mature temperament to him. With such a young appearance and mature temperament, such a man was simply too alluring to a girl.
Just as Xi Qingdeng was forcing himself to shake off these messy thoughts of his as soon as possible, someone from behind suddenly called out.
“Your name is Du Shaobai? “Please wait a moment.”
An Zheng stopped and looked back.
Behind them stood a few people, led by a man whose age could not be determined. He was strong, but not rough. A person who looked very tall and strong would inevitably give off an impression of stupidity. However, this person was different. He stood there likuge spear, cold and domineering.
But he wasn’t a big gun. He was a knife.
His name was Liu Jun, and people called him Saber.
