Ten days later.
The thatched cottage was peaceful.
Ye Qiubai took over Hongying's work and cooked every day.
Since entering the thatched cottage, Hongying, who has been fasting for a long time, has also developed the habit of eating three meals a day...
Apart from cooking, he would compete with Xin Hongyi, or practice the Sword Sutra of Absolute Beginning.
As for Hongying, apart from eating, she was in seclusion.
Sometimes I go out too.
As for what to do, it is unknown.
Ye Qiubai and Lu Changsheng would not bother.
And Lu Changsheng is still the same as before, but with a little sadness on his face...
"Come on, dinner is ready."
At this moment, Ye Qiubai came out with several dishes of dishes.
Lu Changsheng sat at the dining table, picked up a glass of wine he brewed, and said, "Go get your junior sister to eat."
Ye Qiubai nodded.
Soon, he walked over with Hongying.
When the three of them were about to move their chopsticks, Lu Changsheng suddenly said, "Okay, Qiubai, go, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Ye Qiubai was taken aback for a moment, but he followed suit and ran to the kitchen.
When he took out the bowls and chopsticks, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the other side of the dining table.
"Changsheng, you are living a pretty good life."
Lu Changsheng said helplessly, "Uncle Qin, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Qin Tiannan took the bowls and chopsticks with a nod, and said with a smile: "Let's eat first, and then we'll talk after the meal. I haven't eaten for hundreds of years."
Lu Changsheng rolled his eyes and started to move his chopsticks.
"Hey, this wine is not bad."
"..."
"Huh? After drinking this wine, it feels like the cultivation base that hasn't improved for many years is starting to loosen?"
"..."
"Changsheng, did you brew it yourself?"
Lu Changsheng finally couldn't take it anymore, he waved his hand, and in an instant a large jar of wine fell in front of Qin Tiannan.
He said with a dark face: "Take it away!"
Only then did Qin Tiannan smile and say, "This is so embarrassing."
But while speaking, Qin Tiannan put away the wine in a very honest manner.
Hongying: "..."
Ye Qiubai: "..."
Drink and eat enough.
Only then did Qin Tiannan talk about the business, and said, "This time, it's for the exchange of the academy."
"You also know that our Tibetan Taoist Academy is distributed in the four regions, and we are a branch of the Southern Region."
"Every ten years, the Tibetan Taoist Academy in the Four Regions will conduct an exchange with each other to distribute the resources distributed by the General Academy."
"The college competition at that time was preparing for this, so, Qiu Bai, you can go to the Northern Territory with me."
This four-domain academy exchange is in the northern domain!
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng said lightly, "You decide whether to go or not."
The Northern Territory is the territory of the Sunset Dynasty.
Jiang Chan is also there.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiubai nodded with firm eyes.
Seeing this, Qin Tiannan said with satisfaction: "Very good, what about Hongying?"
Although I didn't participate in the college competition.
But Hongying's strength is beyond doubt, if Hongying is willing to go, then naturally it is the best.
Hongying shook her head, and said, "I have to do something first, but I will also leave for the Northern Territory. When the matter is over, I will come and see."
Qin Tiannan nodded, "Okay then, gather at the gate of the academy tomorrow."
...
the next day.
A crane set off from the Tibetan Taoist Academy.
This time, Qin Tiannan personally led the team.
Hongying left the thatched cottage alone and headed for the Northern Territory.
But this time, the people participating in the four domains college exchange included Ye Qiubai, Huo Qingming, Lin Ce, Zhong Wu, Xin Hongyi, and one person Ye Qiubai had never met before.
But according to Xin Hongyi, this person is Qin Tiannan's disciple.
It's called Wasteland.
It is heard that he has been practicing with Qin Tiannan, and he was not born until today.
At this time, Dean Confucianism said: "Okay, let me explain the rules of this college exchange."
Everyone looked over.
The elder said solemnly, "Students' exchanges are divided into two aspects. One is the exchange of martial arts, and the other is the exchange of Confucianism and Taoism."
"The Martial Arts exchange is led by Huang Yuan, Ye Qiubai, Huo Qingming, Lin Ce, and Xin Hongyi participate, and Zhong Wu is in charge of the Confucian Academy exchange."
Qin Tiannan also came over at this time, with a dignified expression on his face, and said: "Our Southern Region has been number one from the bottom several times in a row. It can also be said that our overall strength is weaker than the other three regions."
"However, this time is also the most promising one in our southern region, so..."
Qin Tiannan bowed to the crowd and said, "The glory of the academy is left to you."
The elders of the Confucian Academy also bowed together with Qin Tiannan.
Both of them are the top powerhouses in the academy with lofty status.
Now, he bows to the students.
It can be seen how much Qin Tiannan attaches importance to this college exchange.
...
at the same time.
Eastern Tibetan Taoist Academy.
"This academy exchange, we must strive to get the first prize."
"The top spot should still belong to the Northern Territory. After all, their background is too strong, but at the end, it should still be the Southern Territory."
"Well, the background in the southern region is the weakest, and there is definitely no way to catch up."
Tibetan Taoist Academy in the Western Regions.
"We only need to outperform the Southern Territory in martial arts exchanges. After all, this is not our strong point."
"Well, but the exchange of Confucianism and Taoism will definitely surpass the Northern Territory this time!"
"It's okay, this time we have Wuming."
"Well, Junior Brother Wuming is the reincarnation of the Holy Buddha, so the exchange of Confucianism and Taoism will definitely not fail."
Beiyu Tibetan Taoist Academy.
"There is no suspense in the first place this time, is it us again?"
"It's not unexpected. This time, we have a few more peerless geniuses born."
"Brother Jian is in the exchange of martial arts, and Senior Sister Mu is in the exchange of Confucianism and Taoism. With these two people, the top spot must be our Northern Territory."
at the same time.
In the northern region, there is an unknown hill, and in this hill, there is a village.
This village is extremely backward.
No one practiced Taoism.
Plowing at sunrise and resting at sunset.
However, in the open space of the village, a young man dressed like a scholar was giving lectures to the children in the village.
"Okay, get out of class is over."
A child said naively: "Sir, will you leave here tomorrow?"
"No, sir, can you continue to teach us, we still want to study!"
The man smiled and said: "There is always a banquet in the world. Although I want to continue teaching you, I am still on the way of learning, so I have to leave."
Hear this.
The head of the village came forward and held the man with calloused hands, thanking him, "Thank you sir for your teaching these past few months, so that these children can study."
The man shook his head and said, "This is what I should do."
The next day, it was still dark.
The man left a few books and left the small village with a book basket on his back.
Walking out of the village, looking back, I couldn't help sighing.
"Reluctant?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and the man backed away in fright, saying, "Who are you?"
The white-robed man in front of him smiled lightly and said, "My name is Lu Changsheng, and I want to take you as my apprentice."
