"Have you heard? A beauty has come to this year's exam!"
"A beauty? How beautiful? More beautiful than those campus belles in our academy?"
Two senior students chatted casually, showing off their knowledge, but the latter didn't take it seriously.
Their Great Zhou Royal Academy was the academic heart of the entire Great Zhou. Every cultivator who had achieved success in cultivation, or official and merchant who had achieved success in their careers, would try every means to get in touch with the academy to show their status. These dignitaries even racked their brains to send their children to the academy to study. It could be said that the children of the entire upper class were in the academy.
These cultivator officials and merchants themselves may not look very good, but it was not difficult to use their influence to find a beautiful wife, so their children were often very good-looking.
For example, Li Changyue, the daughter of the Vigorous and Martial Great General, Princess Huailing of Prince Gong, and Nan Jin, the granddaughter of the Grand Scholar of the Inner Cabinet, were all top-notch in appearance, difficult to distinguish between them, and had many suitors.
"That's completely incomparable!" The companion was a little excited. He only hated that his language was weak and could not describe the charm of that woman. "You haven't seen the new junior sister. She is definitely a rare beauty in the world. Seeing her once can make you unforgettable for a lifetime!"
"Hey, hey, she hasn't passed the exam yet, how did she become your junior sister?"
"She will definitely pass. If she doesn't pass, I will help her cheat!"
The man rolled his eyes at him: "Don't you know how strict our academy's exams are? Cheating? You're just courting death. The vice president personally supervises the exam, and the president personally grades the papers. Where do you have the ability to cheat? Just rely on your Qi Refining Stage eighth level strength?"
Being able to enter the best universities in the Imperial Dynasty with Qi Refining Stage eighth level was unimaginable in other Imperial Dynasties. In their words, Qi Refining Stage also deserves to come to our place to study? The biggest difference between the Great Zhou Royal Academy and other Imperial Dynasty academies was that Great Zhou valued laws and reduced competition. Cultivators in Great Zhou were not required to be very good at fighting. This led to a strong academic atmosphere in Great Zhou, and the admission standards of the Great Zhou Royal Academy would not be based on the level of cultivation, but on the memory and comprehension of books.
Memory depends on Divine Sense. The stronger the Divine Sense, the stronger the memory.
Core Formation Stage cultivators only just came into contact with Divine Sense, and it was not until the middle and late stages of Core Formation that they could train Divine Sense, while the Great Zhou Royal Academy required students to be under twenty-five years old to enroll.
If anyone could cultivate to the middle and late stages of Core Formation before the age of twenty-five, the Great Zhou Royal Academy would not recommend you to enroll, but would recommend you to go to Dao Sect to be a Dao Sect Emissary.
However, the man was aroused by his companion's attitude and asked, "What's the name of that beauty?"
"Jiang Jingxin."
Passing by here and accidentally hearing the conversation between the two, Jiang Li paused, feeling that this name revealed an outrageous aura.
"Is the woman you're talking about the one with smooth, long hair fluttering slowly, eyebrows as thin as willow leaves, eyes like flowing water, skin as delicate as jade, beautiful as a dream bubble, and makes you toss and turn after seeing her?"
The man seemed to have figured it out and understood the beautiful junior sister his companion was talking about.
"Yes, yes, yes, you finally understand what I mean." The companion was overjoyed, and then became vigilant. Could there be another competitor?
"Is that person the beautiful junior sister you're talking about?"
The companion looked in the direction the man was pointing and saw an ordinary-looking man standing with the beautiful junior sister he would never forget, and their relationship seemed extremely close!
Jiang Li looked at the Pure Heart Saintess in front of him, who didn't even change her appearance, and was a little surprised.
"Human Emperor Jiang, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a fate." The Pure Heart Saintess said happily.
Her mood was not very good due to the changes in the sect before, so she wanted to come to the place where Jiang Li had stayed to see and change her mood. She didn't expect to meet Jiang Li directly here.
What a pleasant surprise!
In order to prevent people from recognizing him, Jiang Li had to change his face slightly every time. His popularity was too high, and there were statues of him everywhere in the Nine Provinces.
The Pure Heart Saintess had only gone down the mountain to experience the world for a few years hundreds of years ago, and had rarely left the Red Dust Pure Land since then. Very few people knew her, so she could come out with her real appearance without fear of being recognized.
"So you are Jiang Jingxin?" Jiang Li felt that this name was weird.
"Yes." The Pure Heart Saintess hummed softly, her cheeks slightly red. This name naturally had selfish motives, but who would have thought that she would meet Jiang Li here? It was really embarrassing! "What's your name now?" The Pure Heart Saintess didn't think Jiang Li would use his real name.
"Kong Li, the Kong Li of Kong Rong Yields Pears."
The Pure Heart Saintess didn't understand the latter part, but she understood that Jiang Li's current name was Kong Li.
She felt that she should be a clever girl so that the man she admired would like her, so she didn't ask what Kong Rong Yields Pears meant.
"You're here to take the entrance exam?" Jiang Li couldn't understand why he would see the Pure Heart Saintess here.
What was there in the Great Zhou Royal Academy that was worth the Holy Maiden of the Red Dust Pure Land coming to study?
Even if there was, there was no need to impersonate a student.
The Pure Heart Saintess looked at Kong Li, who was also here to take the entrance exam, and smiled without saying a word.
Jiang Li coughed dryly, "Recalling childhood, recalling childhood."
"I remember you entered the academy at the age of twenty, Kong Li, you had a long childhood."
Although he didn't know why she knew how old he was when he entered the academy, Jiang Li was a little embarrassed to be exposed so bluntly.
The Pure Heart Saintess chuckled and didn't make things difficult for Jiang Li any further, "Since we're both here to take the exam, why don't we have a competition to see who can get first place?"
Jiang Li became interested and responded, "Okay. Let's add a little wager, the loser has to agree to one condition from the winner!"
The two high-fived to seal the agreement, making the two senior students extremely envious of Jiang Li.
"Speaking of which, has the Red Dust Fairy awakened?"
More than two months had passed, and the Red Dust Fairy should have awakened by now.
"She's woken up a few times, and she's awake for longer than before, but she still sleeps longer than she's awake. After the Ancestor wakes up, she doesn't talk much, she just walks around the Pure Land, and spends the most time at the Immortal Peach Tree."
"It seems that the Red Dust Fairy's condition is still unstable." Jiang Li continued, "I've already greeted the Meng Jiang Emperor and the Wei Emperor, and told them to keep their mouths shut. You must keep the Red Dust Fairy's matter a secret. If any news is leaked, some old guys who saw the Red Dust Fairy back then might rush into the Red Dust Pure Land."
"I understand. But if the Ancestor wants to run away, we can't stop her either."
The two chatted casually and walked away under the envious gazes of the senior students, who then developed murderous intent.
"Kill that person?"
"I'll invite an assassin from the Heavenly Killing Pavilion!"
"I don't have money."
"I don't have money either."
"Then forget it."
"Oh."
A catastrophe for the Heavenly Killing Pavilion was averted in the casual conversation of the two senior students.
