Chapter 371 Eight Great Families
...
"Okay, today's competition is just like this. In the future, you will have the opportunity to communicate together. Let's take a break tonight. We will return to the imperial capital at noon tomorrow."
After Chu Lin said a brief sentence, Cheng Nan owed to Cheng Huan beside him and said, "Chu Lin is going back to rest first. I'm going to both of you. Chu Lin is very grateful."
"Oh, it's too late, it's time to rest, let's do it. Let's live here today, let's set off tomorrow. I'm going to see you off tomorrow." Cheng Huan said with a smile.
After Cheng Huan finished speaking, Chu Lin and Mu Xu instructed the old students, led by Xue Mubai, and went back to rest. Ou Chuyang and others were all staying in the city lord's mansion. Cheng Huan also instructed the servants to clean some guest rooms and let the new students stay.
Ou Chuyang originally wanted to return to Marin Auction House, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up this idea in order not to attract others' attention. Then, Ou Chuyang and Lu Yu were actually assigned to the same room.
Originally, Ou Chuyang planned to take this opportunity to get to know Lu Yu well. After all, it may be a student living together in the future. But what made Ou Chuyang helpless was that Lu Yu seemed to be born to be reluctant to communicate with anyone. After returning to the guest room, he found a bed to sleep on his own, but he didn't say a word during that time.
In this way, the whole night passed quietly.
The next morning, Ou Chuyang got up early and took a look at the situation in the room before he found that Lu Yu had already disappeared.
At this moment, a knock came from outside the door.
"who?"
Ou Chuyang asked, then walked to the door and opened it and saw that it was Dongfang Xue, Xiao Ling'er and Xu Jie'er.
"So early? Is there something wrong?" Ou Chuyang asked in confusion. Three strong men of the beauty level arrived together, and Ou Chuyang was slightly surprised.
"It's nothing. Everyone is here, but you don't see me. Teacher Chu Lin asked us to take a look." Dongfang Xue replied first.
"Oh." Ou Chuyang answered softly, and he was very confused. He sent someone to call him, why were these girls? Did the mentor show off?
As if seeing what Ou Chuyang was thinking, Dongfang Xue smiled and said, "They refused to come, there was no way, we were the only one to come."
"Damn~" Ou Chuyang suddenly realized. It seemed that these male compatriots were very cold.
"Then let's go."
With a wry smile, Ou Chuyang followed the three beauties out of the room.
Following Dongfang Xue and the other two, Ou Chuyang came to Qipan Town Square.
At this moment, there were already hundreds of people standing on the square. Looking at the eyes, the team of hundreds of people was standing neatly. Although there were still some whispers in the team, which was not as disciplined as the Imperial Army, it still seemed very orderly.
In winter, the air seems a little cool, and many people on the street have already changed into thick warm clothes. But in the eyes of these ordinary people, the queue of hundreds of people in the square is an alternative existence. In them, people still maintain the thin outfit in summer.
However, people did not secretly call this group of people mentally problematic because people all know that the one standing here is the new students recruited by Shangwu Academy this year. All of these students are powerful martial arts practitioners. For the powerful martial arts practitioners, such weather will not affect them at all.
Without a hilarious look, all the people passing by showed envious expressions. They knew that no matter what any of the people in the queue of hundreds of people in front of them had before, just looking at the present, if you can enter Shangwu Academy, then the future of these people will be bright.
Walking slowly to the front of the queue, Ou Chuyang saw Chu Lin and Mu Xu, two mentors, had been waiting there, and beside them was Cheng Huan, the lord of Qipan Town, and his brother, the lord of Wu, Cheng Nan.
"I'm sorry. I'm late." When I walked to Chu Lin and knew that she was late, Ou Chuyang immediately apologized.
Chu Lin smiled slightly and said, "Not blamed you. Yesterday I informed you were not present when you gathered at this time."
"Thank you, mentor." Ou Chuyang thanked again and was about to turn around and walk into the queue.
"Where are you going?" Seeing that Ou Chuyang was about to enter the team, Xu Jieer stopped the former and asked.
"Go in and take the team." Ou Chuyang answered truthfully with a strange look at Xu Jie'er.
Pulling Ou Chuyang over, Xu Jie'er whispered: "What team should you stand? Just stand here." As she said that, the former pointed to Chu Lin's side.
"Why?" Ou Chuyang asked in confusion.
"Haha, Ou Chuyang, you don't have to go in, just follow me and mentor Mu Xu." Seeing Ou Chuyang's ignorant look, Chu Lin laughed and said, her miraculous curves were revealed with the laughter.
Along the square, a sound of swallowing saliva suddenly came.
"Oh." Although Ou Chuyang didn't understand, he still stood obediently behind Chu Lin.
"Teacher Mu Xu, you can start." Seeing everyone coming, Chu Lin said to Mu Xu with a smile.
Mu Xu nodded, glanced over Chu Lin's body with a faint look, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "Everyone has arrived. Now we are ready to rush to the imperial capital. I will tell you about the precautions on the road."
Mu Xu paused and continued: "We have a team of hundreds of people. We have just divided into ten groups. Each group will have a leader. The main job of this leader is to count the members of your group at any time on the road to prevent them from getting lost. This time, we have to walk back to the imperial capital, so I don't want to see anyone fall behind. Everyone is a warrior. If someone falls behind or does something else halfway, which will lead to the inability to return to the imperial capital with everyone, then this person will lose the qualification to study in Shangwu Academy."
"Wow."
After hearing Mu Xu's words, the team suddenly started to make noise.
"Go back to the imperial capital?"
"I heard it right. It will take half a month to go."
"Yes, why don't you even have a carriage?"
"Oh my God, wouldn't that be exhausted?"
"Didn't it mean that Shangwu Academy is very rich? Why don't you even provide carriages for rushing?"
"Really press the door."
There were bursts of noisy whispers constantly.
"Listen." Seeing the bustling team as if it was a sensation, Mu Xu shouted in dissatisfaction.
Suddenly, there was no sound.
After scanning the hundreds of people with anger, Mu Xu shouted: "What is this chaos? As a warrior, he still complains about such a short path. How can he be?"
"Tell you that when you come to Shangwu Academy to study, you must put in a hundred times more diligence. Since you obtained the qualification to study in the college yesterday, the college's courses have also begun. This time, hiking back to the imperial capital is also a test for you. If you can't stand it, you can ask it. It's not too late to leave now."
After Mu Xu yelled like this, everyone held their breath and didn't dare to say anything. It turned out that this was a training session. Why didn't you say it earlier?
Countless people complained.
Seeing that there was no longer any discussion, Mu Xu's expression eased, and then turned around and said, "Mr. Cheng, we are leaving now. Thank you for the hospitality we have come here in the past few days, Tutor Chu Lin."
Chu Lin nodded and said, "Mr. Cheng, let's go."
Cheng Huan nodded and said, "Haha, I will take it all the way, and I will send it to you soon. If you have the chance next time, you are welcome to visit Qipan Town."
They saluted each other, and then after Mu Xu shouted, a large team of more than 100 people officially set out to rush to the highest imperial institution of learning: Shangwu Academy, which everyone yearned for.
Although the current season has entered winter, the cold weather has not arrived. Even if the air is a little cool, it has not affected the journey of Ou Chuyang and others. As this powerful team of many innate warriors and military guards marched together, countless robber groups along the way also fled. Therefore, along the way, Ou Chuyang and others walked smoothly.
During the day, everyone was rushing together. During this period, Chu Lin and Mu Xu, as mentors, slowly explained some experiences about the use of internal energy to the people in the team. This made such a large group of people have a little interest in learning while walking, and it would not seem so boring. At night, a group of people were looking for a relatively open place to camp and rest.
On the way, Ou Chuyang got very close to Dongfang Xue, Xiao Ling'er and Xu Jie'er. This was not because Ou Chuyang was greedy for women, but because Lu Yu and others had no interest in communicating with Ou Chuyang at all. As Ou Chuyang, who had just learned martial arts, he had long hoped that some peers could communicate with each other, but the attitude Lu Yu and others gave him made Ou Chuyang helpless for a long time, for those old students, let alone, with Xue Mubai among them, these people have always had a hostile mentality towards Ou Chuyang.
Therefore, the only ones who could chat with Ou Chuyang along the way were Dongfang Xue and two mentors.
"Ou Chuyang, why are you sweating profusely?" As he walked on the road, Xu Jieer couldn't help but ask when she saw Ou Chuyang sweating like rain and her steps were heavy.
Hearing this, Dongfang Xue and Xiao Ling'er also looked at Ou Chuyang in confusion.
"It's nothing. I've been walking for a long time and I'm just a little tired." When I heard Xu Jie'er ask, Ou Chuyang answered vaguely.
"It's very long, it's been more than ten days, but we can rest at night. Why are we all okay? Are you so tired?" Xu Jie'er asked in confusion.
Looking at Xu Jie'er, Ou Chuyang had the urge to grab her and strangle her to death. Three beautiful figures, Xu Jie'er was very curious along the way and would ask Ou Chuyang some questions from time to time. Others were OK, but when he saw that Ou Chuyang was sweating, he seemed to be harder than others, so he immediately opened his mouth to ask for the door, which made Ou Chuyang very helpless.
After successfully being promoted to a level nine innate warrior, Ou Chuyang secretly added another 100 kilograms to his body on the first night of his departure. Although it was only 100 kilograms, it was normal that Ou Chuyang easily got the weight with one hand, but it made him feel very tired on the basis of the six hundred classics.
Fortunately, although Ou Chuyang cannot move flexibly, he can walk on a daily basis. However, the burden was not in vain. Due to the long-term rush, Ou Chuyang always sweated profusely due to lack of physical strength, and this scene was always seen by those who were interested.
I don’t know how to answer, Ou Chuyang may have used extremely vague words to deal with the curiosity of those who are interested: “Maybe your strength is higher than mine. Besides, I have never walked such a long way. I am not used to it.”
"Oh. But..."
"Where is your hometown?" Xu Jie'er was still waiting to ask, but Ou Chuyang didn't dare to let him continue. The former's voice was loud, and she didn't care about other people's feelings when she spoke. Every time the voice would increase with the length of communication. So Ou Chuyang hurriedly found an irrelevant topic and turned it over.
"My home, hehe, I won't tell you, I'm not in Feiyun Empire anyway." Xu Jie'er replied with a mysterious smile when she heard Ou Chuyang ask.
"Isn't in Feiyun Empire?" Ou Chuyang asked in confusion.
"Yes," Xu Jie'er nodded.
"Can you get admitted to Shangwu Academy?"
"Of course, any martial arts academy in the five great empires will not exclude the warriors of other empires, and they will also hold some martial arts competitions together regularly for mutual exchanges."
"This is the first time I heard of it." Ou Chuyang muttered.
"Tell you, Dongfang Xue and Xiao Ling'er are not from the Feiyun Empire either." Xu Jie'er said mysteriously.
"Oh? Are you saying?" Ou Chuyang looked up and looked at her in surprise, then turned his eyes to Dongfang Xue and the others who were talking to Chu Lin's mentor Chu Lin not far away.
"Shh..." Xu Jie'er raised a finger and said in a silence. Then she looked slightly at Dongfang Xue and the other two chatting with Chu Lin not far away and said, "Do you know what Dongfang Xue and Xiao Ling'er are?"
"What's the identity?" Seeing Xu Jie'er's mysterious appearance, Ou Chuyang was sure that Dongfang Xue and his two identities might not be very simple.
"Tell you that Dongfang Xue is from the Dongfang family, and Xiao Ling'er is from the Xiao family."
"What does it mean?" Ou Chuyang didn't understand.
"Don't you know the eight major families in the mainland?" Xu Jieer asked, giving Ou Chuyang a blank look.
"You mean, they are two of the eight major families?" Ou Chuyang said in surprise.
"I've answered correctly." Xu Jie'er nodded with a smile.
"Why are the Eight Great Family still coming to Shangwu Academy? With the strength of their family, can't they be trained?" Ou Chuyang asked incomprehensible.
"Of course they have the strength, but don't you know that Shangwu Academy is the most famous academy on the mainland?"
“So what?”
"What? You don't know the secret of Shangwu Academy?"
"Secret? Are you talking about the holy land?" Ou Chuyang began to understand a little.
"Of course, for this holy land, who would come to Shangwu Academy to study from afar? In the family, what kind of martial arts are there?" Xu Jie'er looked at Ou Chuyang, as helpless as if she was looking at an idiot.
Hearing this, Ou Chuyang felt that Xu Jie'er was a little different. Although he was a little gossiped, this person knew a lot. It was the first time she saw Dongfang Xue and Xiao Ling'er, how could she see each other's identity so quickly? Xu Jie'er is not simple. At this time, Xu Jie'er didn't know that her words had already aroused Ou Chuyang's suspicion.
"Do you know who Lu Yu is from?" Ou Chuyang thought for a while and asked tentatively. Based on his analysis, if Xu Jie'er even knew Lu Yu's identity, then he could be sure that Xu Jie'er was not an ordinary person.
