The road is vague

Chapter 82 List of Top Four
night.

Han Mu, the deputy head of the training hall, had a gloomy expression on his face and walked quickly all the way to Sima Fu's cave.

"Brother, that old woman Ye Qing must have noticed this. She has personally ordered that from today onwards, the drawing of lots for the assessment of the disciples in the Training Hall can only begin after she arrives. I really can't do anything about it."

Sima Fu frowned slightly when he heard this, but did not respond, as if he was thinking about a countermeasure.

The cave fell into silence.

After a while.

Sima Fu said slowly, "In that case, go to the Talisman Making Hall and have Qian Jing get a few talismans for him. I also have a magic pill that can temporarily improve your cultivation level and a jade pendant that can accumulate mana..."

Seeing that Sima Fu made many arrangements in a short time, Han Mu sighed and shook his head.

"But I think you may be worrying too much, brother."

"Oh?"

Sima Fu looked puzzled.

Han Mu sighed.

"After observing him for these few days, I suddenly feel that the previous arrangements seemed superfluous. Senior Brother Lu Qi's disciple is truly extraordinary. The strength he has demonstrated is almost unimaginable among the disciples of this class. This makes my arrangements seem a bit out of place."

"Is there such a thing?"

Sima Fu was surprised and asked a few questions.

This kind of evil disciple only appears in Lingmu Sect every few decades, and most of them will be promoted to the Golden Core Stage in the future.

Ye Shoutian from the Law Enforcement Hall and Lu Qi from the Special Service Hall are both such people.

So he stroked his beard.

"If that's the case, it would be best if we didn't have to make any special arrangements, so as to avoid being caught by those guys. However, this matter is of great importance. Junior Brother, are you sure that this disciple can rely on his own strength to enter the top three of this final examination?"

Han Mu gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Junior brother, I believe I won't be wrong."

"In that case, let him go."

"Yes!"

After Han Mu exchanged a few more words with Sima Fu, he left the other's cave.

……

After the sixth day of assessment.

Li Mo looked at the newly released list of the top four and was a little dazed for a moment.

Tomorrow is the last day of the graduation examination. The semi-finals, finals, and top three revival matches will be held in succession. The disciples who enter the top four are Li Mo, Jiang Sheng, Ye Fuhu, and Shi Yongjie.

His gaze lingered on Shi Yongjie's name for a moment.

"This Shi Yongjie actually made it to the semi-finals?"

This was really beyond Li Mo's expectations.

Not only Li Mo was surprised, but others were also amazed by this. You know, before this, Shi Yongjie was not outstanding among the third-year disciples. Only a very small number of people who were on good terms with him knew him, and he was almost unknown.

This time he was able to make it into the semi-finals, which was a huge success and his popularity skyrocketed instantly.

He was being discussed everywhere.

"As far as I know, this Shi Yongjie is a true Sanren disciple, and his attainments in weapon refining are extraordinary. It is precisely because of this skill that he has won the favor of many senior masters in the weapon refining hall."

"Really? Good wine needs no bush."

"So, what do you think? Is it possible for Shi Yongjie to win the championship in this year's final examination?"

"This... I'm afraid it's unlikely. Look at the other three people, Li Mo, Jiang Sheng, and Ye Fuhu. Each one is more terrifying than the other. Unless... unless the situation like the second-year year-end assessment happens again!"

“A late bloomer, that’s what a late bloomer is!”

"As long as we, the Sanren disciples, work hard, we will one day rise to prominence..."

Many independent disciples with lower cultivation levels actually regarded Shi Yongjie as their spiritual pillar, and regarded him as a symbol that ordinary disciples can change their own destiny through personal struggle in Lingmu Sect. They planned to have a good rest today and cheer for Shi Yongjie tomorrow.

the other side.

When Ye Qing, the head of the Advanced Training Hall, saw the name Shi Yongjie on the list of the top four, although there was no emotion on his face, he sneered in his heart.

"Tomorrow we'll have to see if this Shi Yongjie was actually someone arranged by those guys."

As for the method of judgment.

Naturally, it depends on whether this disciple who has only reached the seventh level of Qi training can make it into the top three of this assessment.

In the major holy places of the immortal mountains of Daqian Kingdom, the top three students in each graduation examination will be rewarded with generous cultivation resources and a foundation-building pill. After the archival materials are recorded, they will be entered into the elite list of the Daqian court and will be the focus of observation and training for future career advancement.

……

the next day.

Today is the last day of the assessment.

The third-year students will start the semi-finals, finals, and top three revival matches today.

This kind of continuous battle is a great test of the examinee's magic power, energy, and luck.

After Li Mo got up, he washed and dressed carefully, then went to the main hall and looked at today's assessment list.

The first group includes Li Mo and Shi Yongjie.

The second group, Ye Fuhu and Jiang Sheng.

"this?"

Li Mo felt like a lucky man blessed by God, which made him feel unreal.

There is no need to say much about Shi Yongjie.

Ye Fuhu and Jiang Sheng actually started a semi-final showdown!

The two were evenly matched in their second year. Now that they are facing each other again, the difference in strength is probably still not that big. No matter who wins in the end, it will most likely be a miserable victory. By then, when they face me again, they may not even have any magic power left.

Thinking of this, Li Mo arrived at the Shenshu Square early after breakfast.

When Wang Zhu saw Li Mo, he greeted him from a distance and walked over.

"Li Mo, are you really not considering joining the Justice Society? As far as I know, the Justice Society has never invited you three times in a row."

Li Mo smiled slightly.

"Let's just forget it. Look at me now. I'm interacting with disciples from aristocratic families every day, and my master and senior brothers are making arrangements. I don't know what they think. It's really not very convenient."

"Ugh."

Wang Zhu sighed.

"I understand you. You're different from us. Those disciples from aristocratic families wouldn't dare do anything to you. But that Shi Yongjie... he's so ungrateful. He thinks he can stay out of this by not joining the Justice Society. He wants to be a fence-sitter. How ridiculous!"

After saying that, he sighed, shook his head and left.

After the incident, Wang Feng noticed Li Mo, walked over with a smile, and handed him a note. "This is my home address. If you ever come to Yuancheng, you can always come find me. I'll treat you to a meal, drinks, and entertainment. Haha!"

Li Mo looked surprised.

"Are you getting ready to leave?"

"Why don't you leave?"

Wang Feng stretched.

"To be honest with you, a while ago, Ye Xuan and I became an official dual cultivation partner. We've even met at home. This time, we're going to hold a wedding banquet when we return. Ye Xuan has also resigned from the Supervisor Hall and has been officially transferred to the Four Seas Hall. After I return to Yuancheng, I'll be able to serve in the court through the selection of filial and honest officials."

Li Mo looked at Wang Feng and Ye Xuan in astonishment.

"You're getting married?"

Li Mo came to his senses and quickly looked through his storage bag, but there was not even a single elixir left, and there were not many spirit stones left. He had no choice but to take out twenty spirit stones with an embarrassed look on his face.

"I'm really short of money for this assessment. These twenty spirit stones can be considered my advance gift."

Ye Xuan giggled when she heard this.

"This is two hundred taels of silver. You've given me a huge gift. If it were in Yuancheng, he wouldn't dare to accept it if he wanted to recommend him as a filial and honest official."

Wang Feng couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother, two hundred taels of silver is not a small sum in Yuancheng. Why are you so embarrassed? Hehe, I won't accept other people's money, but I will accept yours. Don't forget to come to Yuancheng to find me in the future!"

According to Wang Feng, for the Daqian court, silver is the currency unit and spirit stones are commodities.

Li Mo smiled innocently and put away Wang Feng's home address.

After some laughter, Wang Feng said solemnly, "It's time for you to think about your own affairs. I remember you seem to be a year younger than me, right?"

"Ah."

Li Mo responded softly.

After Wang Feng stretched, he whispered in Li Mo's ear, "Don't say I haven't helped you. My sister and I wanted to introduce Zhao Xiaonan to you during the Flower Festival after the first-year assessment. She's a really nice person. It's a pity that you were always hanging out with Ma Ling at that time. Zhao Xiaonan thought you were unreliable. She likes honest men."

Li Mo was a little embarrassed at first, then he sighed and shook his head.

But then Wang Feng changed the subject.

"But I think Lu Cuicui is not bad either. You two are quite suitable. It's just that there are too many things going on behind the scenes of these disciples from aristocratic families. Sometimes they have no choice in these matters, for example... Ouch!"

Ye Xuan looked annoyed.

"You still say that! If my family hadn't forced me to do that, how could I possibly go see you, my junior brother? I wanted to die at that time!"

Wang Feng smiled when he heard this.

"Hasn't it been accomplished now? I gave up my previous main cultivation method for you."

Looking at the intimate posture of the two, Li Mo couldn't help but feel a little envious.

It has been several years since Zhao Siman’s incident. He has matured a lot over the years and it is indeed time to let it go. One cannot always live in painful memories.

As for Lu Cuicui's feelings for him, he naturally noticed them, but he just didn't show them.

"Brother Li, what are you thinking about?"

Li Mo was thinking about Lu Cuicui, when Lu Cuicui came to him, patted his shoulder affectionately, and asked with a smile on her face.

Li Mo came back to his senses.

At this moment, Lu Shun, Lu Tong and Lu Cuicui were all standing beside him, looking at him with smiles on their faces.

Especially Lu Shun, he laughed so hard that his eyes were almost invisible.

"Li Mo, I really want to thank you this time."

Lu Shun looked grateful and sincere.

"You said in the Dragon and Tiger List that drinking Big Dreams can lead to enlightenment. Now it's spread throughout the sect. I don't know how to thank you enough. So after the three of us discussed it, we unanimously decided that from now on, the wine in my winery will be free for you for life!"

Sow good causes and reap good fruits.

Li Mo couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"If there is such a good thing, I won't be polite in the future."

"You're welcome, haha!"

It can be seen that Lu Shun must have made a lot of money.

More importantly, his "Big Dream Like a God" has become a culture. Whenever one's practice is not going well, one must attain enlightenment and drink "Big Dream Like a God". His popularity has been completely spread within the Lingmu Sect.

Lu Cuicui hurriedly gave an instruction.

"But don't drink too much and get drunk."

Lu Tong, who was standing by, couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.

"Why, he wants you to take care of him when he gets drunk in the future?"

Lu Cuicui was stunned at first, then her face flushed and she stammered, "I, I, I mean, drinking is bad for your health, uh, ouch!"

Lu Cuicui and Lu Tong laughed and played, and occasionally glanced at Li Mo's reaction.

After a while.

After the three left, Wang Feng, Ye Xuan and Zhu Yidan came over again, all looking at Li Mo with smiles on their faces, which made Li Mo feel a little uncomfortable.

"I think there's hope!"

Wang Feng nodded with a suppressed smile.

"Look at that look in her eyes. She can't hide it. Now it all depends on your words."

Ye Xuan and Zhu Yidan nodded.

Li Mo did not act coyly, but instead thought seriously amid the smiles of the three people.

He is no longer the ignorant child of his childhood. Now he has reached the age of twenty and has a good overall impression of Lu Cuicui. It is indeed time to consider this matter.

So he pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Xuan.

"Senior Sister Ye Xuan, do you think Lu Cuicui's family...will agree with us?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng and Zhu Yidan also looked at Ye Xuan.

After hearing this, Ye Xuan seemed to remember something and her expression gradually became solemn.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy."

She gave this answer after careful consideration.

The smile on Li Mo's face gradually faded.

This was probably because Ye Xuan took into account the high spirits of the crowd and didn't want to pour cold water on them, so she expressed it as tactfully as possible.
