Zhao Yichuan is well - known for his strictness in the Dao - Yi School Palace. In the past, there were people who became his students, but they were all forced to leave later.
On the day Chen Qingyuan just arrived at the school palace, Yu Chenran directly let Chen Qingyuan skip the assessment.
Zhao Yichuan was unhappy and directly questioned Yu Chenran, who is a vice - dean. When he learned that Chen Qingyuan was the inheritor of Qingzong, Zhao Yichuan gave up, thinking it was reasonable.
If it weren't for this causal relationship, Zhao Yichuan would definitely not agree and might even confront the vice - dean until the end.
"I won't regret it," said Song Ningyan, who won the first place in the assessment. Naturally, she is very powerful, surpassing her peers and being extremely arrogant.
"I hope so," Zhao Yichuan said with a light smile, losing his previous serious look.
At this time, in Yunxi Residence.
Yu Chenran's voice transmission reached Chen Qingyuan's ears: "You brat, the entrance examination is over. You have to go there."
"Master, what am I going to do?" Chen Qingyuan asked towards the direction of the void.
"Although you have entered the school, there are still many procedures left unfinished. Just go when I tell you to. Don't be slow."
Since Chen Qingyuan has been tricked into becoming an apprentice, Yu Chenran will definitely not be polite. So what if he is the inheritor of Qingzong? He is still my apprentice. I can beat him or scold him when necessary. Don't show mercy.
"Yes," Chen Qingyuan said with a bitter smile. He changed into a clean, light - colored outfit and headed towards the mountain gate.
Not long after, Chen Qingyuan arrived at the mountain gate.
Looking at Zhao Yichuan standing in the void, Chen Qingyuan bowed to show respect.
Zhao Yichuan nodded in return, and a hint of softness flashed in his indifferent eyes.
This guy's attitude towards me is much better. It's probably because of my master's face, Chen Qingyuan thought to himself.
Little did he know that Zhao Yichuan didn't care about the vice - dean's face at all, but because of Qingzong.
"Get in line," Zhao Yichuan signaled to Chen Qingyuan, letting him stand in the first row.
On Chen Qingyuan's way here, Zhao Yichuan had already announced the names of the top ten in the assessment and made them stand at the front.
Including Chen Qingyuan, there were eleven people in the first row.
Everyone's eyes focused on Chen Qingyuan, full of doubts.
"Where did this guy come from?"
"I saw this person. He was standing next to me before the assessment, and he seemed not to have participated in the assessment."
"Why is he standing in the row of those who passed the assessment?"
"Does anyone know him?"
Everyone frowned and whispered.
The Northern Wilderness is very vast. Although Chen Qingyuan is quite famous, there are still many people who haven't seen him.
"Hey! Who are you? What's your name?" Wang Qing, the eleventh - ranked prodigy, was very unwilling and asked loudly.
Zhao Yichuan, standing at a high place, watched this scene without intending to solve the problem.
"Me?" Chen Qingyuan noticed that everyone's gazes were on him and answered truthfully, "I come from Xuanqing Sect. My name is Chen Qingyuan."
Hearing this, many people showed surprised expressions.
Wang Qing stared at Chen Qingyuan, his eyes narrowing, and he exclaimed, "Chen Qingyuan, one of the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness."
Chen Qingyuan smiled, tacitly admitting it.
Song Ningyan, the woman in a black dress standing on Chen Qingyuan's right, frowned and asked coldly, "According to the rules of the Dao - Yi School Palace, anyone who participates in the entrance examination cannot be rated as one of the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness and needs to keep a low profile. What's your situation?"
"Is there such a rule? I don't know," Chen Qingyuan was stunned. It was the first time he had heard of this.
"You don't know?"
Everyone looked at Chen Qingyuan with strange eyes, wondering why Chen Qingyuan was completely unaware of the school's rules and didn't need to participate in the assessment.
It has been the rule for countless years that students and examinees of the Dao - Yi School Palace cannot participate in the selection of the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness. Given Xuanqing Sect's remote location, it's indeed possible that they don't know this.
Moreover, Master Yu Chenran never told Chen Qingyuan about it!
"I really don't know," Chen Qingyuan said, looking confused. He complained, "I'm still wondering which bastard chose me as one of the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness, making my life restless. However, what does the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness have to do with the examiners of the Dao - Yi School Palace?"
When everyone heard Chen Qingyuan's complaints, they really believed that Chen Qingyuan didn't know, and many people looked at him with admiration and a hint of sympathy.
"You're in trouble," Song Ningyan looked at Chen Qingyuan a few times, slightly raising the corners of her mouth with a sneer.
"What do you mean?" Chen Qingyuan was even more confused.
Just as Chen Qingyuan was about to ask, Zhao Yichuan, standing at a high place, suddenly said, "The bastard you mentioned is me."
Huh?
The moment Chen Qingyuan heard this, his body stiffened.
Then, Chen Qingyuan's expression became extremely rich. He looked up at Zhao Yichuan, and his voice trembled slightly, "Senior... what did you say?"
"I selected the lists of the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness in recent times," Zhao Yichuan said indifferently.
Boom!
After getting confirmation, Chen Qingyuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank, and he was stunned, like a stone statue, unable to recover for a while.
Since ancient times, the list of the Northern Wilderness Prodigies has been announced by the Dao - Yi School Palace to stimulate the fighting spirit of the new generation and help them grow up quickly.
Those who have a connection with the Dao - Yi School Palace are eligible to participate in the entrance exams of past years, and thus they cannot be on the list.
The Dao - Yi School Palace has always been hidden from the world and naturally doesn't want its students to show their faces in public to avoid violating ancestral teachings.
For countless years, Chen Qingyuan is a special case, being both one of the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness and a student of the school palace.
Two hundred years ago, Yu Chenran knew that Xuanqing Sect in the Fuliu Star Field was the long - lost Qingzong. However, he didn't tell anyone and didn't mention that Xuanqing Sect had a connection with the Dao - Yi School Palace.
Therefore, Zhao Yichuan thought Chen Qingyuan, who was highly talented a hundred years ago, was worthy of being selected as one of the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness.
As for the newly - announced list of the Ten Outstanding, Zhao Yichuan didn't consider Chen Qingyuan at first, but Yu Chenran forcibly added him.
So, Chen Qingyuan, who was still at the Heaven - Spirit Realm at that time, inexplicably became one of the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness again, making countless people want to use him as a stepping stone.
The love from the master is so intense.
Yu Chenran wants to give Chen Qingyuan enough pressure so that he can grow up quickly and shoulder the responsibility of Qingzong.
"So..." Chen Qingyuan thought for a long time and suddenly realized.
"Senior, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that just now," Chen Qingyuan quickly apologized when he came to his senses.
"It's okay. There are many people who scold me," Zhao Yichuan smiled at Chen Qingyuan, making Chen Qingyuan's scalp tingle with a very bad feeling.
Immediately, Zhao Yichuan called some people over, planning to send the eliminated ones back to their original places.
Once they leave the Dao - Yi School Palace, they will never have the chance to become disciples of the palace again.
"Senior, I don't agree!" Wang Qing, who was ranked eleventh, summoned his courage and said loudly.
"Huh?" Zhao Yichuan glanced at Wang Qing, with an intimidating presence without showing anger.
"Why doesn't he need to participate in the assessment? Moreover, according to the rules of the school palace, those who are among the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness have no connection with the school palace and cannot be admitted," Wang Qing pointed at Chen Qingyuan, venting his dissatisfaction.
All those who participated in the assessment have extremely high talent and strength. Many of them are not weaker than the Ten Outstanding of the Northern Wilderness, and the top few in the assessment are even stronger than the Ten Outstanding.
Because they have a connection with the school palace, they cannot participate in the selection of the Ten Outstanding.
"Does the Dao - Yi School Palace need to explain to you what it does?" Zhao Yichuan was high above, leaving no room for doubt.
"No," Wang Qing didn't dare to confront Zhao Yichuan head - on, so he could only target Chen Qingyuan. "I just think that this person didn't participate in the assessment, and it's hard to convince the public."
It's not that I don't want to participate in the assessment. It's none of my business! Chen Qingyuan was stared at by hundreds of unfriendly eyes, feeling very depressed.
