Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 615 The First Battle
As soon as this name came out, there was a rare quietness in the audience of the battle stage.

Zhao Guang, who was walking down the stage leaning on his sword, paused, Meng Ye, who had won the victory on the other side, changed his expression slightly, and Gui Chen and others beside Ying Baoyue were taken aback when they heard the sound.

In the silence, Ying Baoyue looked around, "Looks like it's my turn."

Her expression was calm, but the expressions of the people around her were complicated and worried.

"This..." Chen Zichu's expression was a little subtle, "It's the first-round bye again."

There was commotion again among the crowd that had been silent around, and the people who were a little tired were not tired instantly when they heard the name, and there were many discussions.

"I actually got the former Qin princess!"

"Just rank seven, if it wasn't for the lucky bye in the last round, maybe she wouldn't be here long ago..."

"It's really eye-catching to have a woman standing among a group of young masters, she should be eliminated sooner than later..."

"I don't know who her opponent will be..."

Hearing the discussions of the surrounding people, Ji Jiashu frowned slightly on the high platform.Jiang Yuanyuan on the side glanced at him, "I didn't expect the former Qin princess to appear so early, and I don't know who her opponent is."

At this time, the examiner put his hand into the lottery box, and everyone looked at the second lottery in the examiner's hand with wide eyes.

The atmosphere of Ying Baoyue and his party under the battle stage was also a little tense.Chen Zichu looked at Ying Baoyue and said in relief, "No matter who it is, Meng Shi and Ye Siyuan are finished, anyway, it can't be them, then anyone..."

At this moment, the examiner announced the name of the second person.

"The former Qin Ying Baoyue is right."

"Nan Chu, Du Siqi."

Chen Zichu's voice stopped for an instant.

There was a sound of breathing.

"What's wrong?" Sensing Chen Zichu's strangeness, Ying Baoyue looked at him.

Du Siqi.

She didn't know the man, but she had heard the name once.Just before the start of the first round, she was also called by the examiner, and she was one of the twenty practitioners who had a bye with her.

To be honest, after seeing the draws of the previous two rounds, she was already mentally prepared for the practitioners who might get the first round of byes.Chen Zichu just mentioned that Ye Siyuan and Meng Shi must have realized this.

But why did you stop talking?

It looks like it's been hit hard...

It stands to reason that Ye Siyuan and Meng Shi, the two most troublesome ones, have indeed come to an end, and no one should react so abnormally.

"What's wrong with this Du Siqi?" Ying Baoyue asked.

And she found that when she asked this question, Chen Zichu, Xu Yishan, Ji Qingyuan and other Southern Chu people were all silent.

"You don't know him?" It was Zhao Guang who limped off the stage who answered the question, and the young man looked at Ying Baoyue with an incredulous expression.

"You're back." Ying Baoyue looked at him, "It was a good match just now."

"If you lose, what's the point?" Zhao Guang smiled wryly.

However, at this moment, a calm male voice suddenly came from beside his ear.

"well done."

That voice seemed to come from a very far away place, very calm, but very determined.

Zhao Guang seemed to be able to see the masked man in the dense forest of another mountain in the distance, nodding and speaking.

He paused slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.The next moment, he looked up at Ying Baoyue and smiled, "But the young master is the first loser to walk down the stage by himself."

"Indeed," Ying Baoyue nodded. Before Zhao Guang, other losers were carried down on a stretcher, and he was really the first to walk down by himself.

"It's not too embarrassing anyway," Zhao Guang said with a smile, but the next moment he looked at Ying Baoyue and put away his smile.

"I thought I was unlucky enough, but I didn't expect you to be more unlucky than me."

This woman's luck is really dead.

"This Du Siqi...what's the matter?"

Ying Baoyue asked in puzzlement.She had investigated the well-known cultivators among the adult sons of the aristocratic family before, and heard Xu Yishan introduce the well-known strong men in the Upper Fourth Palace, but she didn't have this person's name.

Zhao Guang was about to answer with a complex expression, when the crowd screamed, a young man walked out of the crowd, Ying Baoyue followed him, and his eyes paused.

"It seems that I don't need to say more, you probably found something wrong."

Zhao Guang sighed, and Chen Zichu on the other side supported his forehead.

During the bye before, because the examiner announced their names quickly, there were several people walking behind, and Ying Baoyue didn't notice the appearance of the few people behind.

However, at this moment, that person walked out alone, really... very conspicuous.

Ying Baoyue somewhat understood why she didn't notice him in the crowd battle and personal battle before.

Because in a sense, if this person is mixed in the crowd, most people will not be able to see him.

This is probably the only practitioner who is shorter than her in the elementary ceremony.

just because...

Ying Baoyue's eyes paused for a moment, and she looked at the... child walking out of the crowd.

The young man who walked out of the crowd looked younger than everyone present, and his appearance could be compared to Ji Qingyuan's age when she died in her previous life.

"This... is Du Siqi?" Ying Baoyue asked.

Chen Zichu nodded, and then he heard the question as expected, "How old is he this year?"

Chen Zichu took a breath and replied, "Three years younger than Jiashu."

Ji Jiashu is fifteen years old this year, three years younger than him, that is... 12 years old?

Chen Zichu also looked at the young boy not far away with complicated eyes. Although Ji Jiashu was fifteen, but because his birthday was on the first day and the month was relatively large, he was thirteen when he participated in the elementary ceremony three years ago.

But he remembered that Du Siqi's birthday was in October, and now this kid is only 12 years old.

"This is probably the youngest practitioner in history to participate in the elementary ceremony," Chen Zichu said, looking at Ying Baoyue.

After a moment of silence, Ying Baoyue asked, "Is this from the Du family?"

Chen Zichu was startled, but nodded helplessly.

This is one of the three princes of Southern Chu, the youngest son of Da Situ Du Chengde, the first son of the Du family who was three years younger than Ji Jiashu, whom he inadvertently remembered during the previous conspiracy of the Southern Chu family.

There was the Ye family in the front, and the Du family in the back.

The Ye and Du families are two major families in Danyang City.

Ying Baoyue also finally knew why she didn't investigate this young man, because the information she found at the beginning was about an adult son.The son of the family was 13 years old, and he was just a child before the age of 13.

only……

"Is this a disciple of Jixia Academy?" She asked.

It is reasonable to say that even if it is not found among the adult sons, it is impossible that the son of the Southern Chu family is not a disciple of Jixia Academy, why has she never heard Xu Yishan mention it?
"Yes," Chen Zichu nodded, "but he..."

It's not because this woman doesn't know, it's just because this son of the Du family is also a weirdo among the sons of the family.

"He is not a disciple of Shangsigong," Chen Zichu said, "he is a disciple of Shuyuan."

Ying Baoyue was taken aback when she heard the words. Except for Fenghuoshuilei, she hadn't heard the name of other courtyards for a long time.

Everyone knows that Jixia Academy has the Twelve Palaces of Heaven and Dao, but what people can remember are often the fourth palaces of wind, fire, water and thunder.

Few people remember that when Jixia Academy was established, it did not only teach martial arts. In addition to the four sword palaces of wind, fire, water and thunder, there were also eight university palaces of mathematics, literature, medicine, history, commerce, agriculture, engineering, and art.

The Palace of Numbers is one of the Eight Great Palaces, which mainly teaches arithmetic...that is, mathematics.

Ying Baoyue finished her memories and looked at the young boy on the stage lost in thought.

This is all... What kind of opponent did she meet?
　Ying Baoyue: Why do you always meet other tricks for me?
