The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, one round after another.

On this day, Pei Min and Xiao Tao changed into clean white formal clothes.

The disciple uniforms of the Qinglian Sword Sect made them look heroic.

Pei Min gently wiped the white iron sword that had accompanied him for more than a year, and said softly: "Wife, please bless me, I must get the first place in the exam today."

Gongsun Xiaotao heard this and puffed up her cheeks in anger. She also drew her sword and deliberately said loudly, "Husband, please bless me and let me take second place."

"Huh? This sword is your husband?" Pei Min looked over in surprise, scratched his head, and suddenly his expression changed drastically, "Did the master give you a sword with a sword spirit? The master is biased!"

Xiao Tao was furious and hit Pei Min on the head with her scabbard viciously: "You have a brain sword spirit!"

Pei Min was confused: "Why did you hit me? Why is Junior Sister angry again?"

"You'll spend the rest of your life holding your sword." Xiao Tao ran away angrily.

Pei Min was immediately furious: "Humph, women are such a hassle. I won't marry a wife in the future... a sword is enough for me."

"As expected of you."

Jiang Keer came out and glanced at Pei Min with admiration.

It is a rare animal to be able to be so strong.

"As expected of you as my disciple." Qiao Xiaoxian said suddenly.

Jiang Ke'er didn't dare to respond in dismay, but just puffed on her pipe.

She found that the pipe was a good thing. Whenever she felt awkward, she could take it and puff on it. This would allow her to stop talking as if nothing had happened. At the same time, she could also have some time to think while puffing on it.

No wonder Si Lian loved smoking so much back then.

It's just that Si Lian's pipe was filled with tobacco at the time, but when it came to me, it became a pipe full of popping candy, and it was specially made, the kind that would smoke after melting in your mouth...

"Let's go. We'll be late if we don't leave now." Jiang Ke'er urged, "Are you all ready? Have you taken any suspicious pills recently? Don't let someone kill you in the urine test before the exam even starts."

"No, I've only eaten the nutritious meals you made recently, and I absorbed them all, so I can't find any traces," Pei Min said, rubbing his hands. "Master, please make more. What if you cheat and don't make any for me after I finish my apprenticeship?"

"climb."

Jiang Ke'er rolled her eyes at Pei Min and flew towards Jiangdu City first.

Gongsun Xiaotao hurriedly stepped forward and stood on Qiao Xiaoxian's sword, and made a face at Pei Min: "Brother, we'll go first."

Pei Min said with a bitter face: "I also want to ride on Master's sword. Boys don't have human rights, right..."

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him, and Jiang Ke'er, the only person who could take him flying, had already flown above the clouds.

He had no choice but to take off on his own.

"Well, warm up..." He comforted himself.

*********

"Here is the dagger. Take it."

Xu Chen gently placed the dagger on the table in front of Lin Gang.

Lin Gang's eyes were struggling.

"Jiang Ke'er won't be on guard against you, and...even if you stab her, she may not blame you," Xu Chen said with a faint smile, "After you stab her heart with this knife, no matter whether she lives or dies, at least no one in the world will regard you as Jiang Ke'er's accomplice anymore. At that time, your fellow disciples, your master and uncle will be truly safe."

Lin Gang pursed his lips and picked up the dagger silently.

I don’t know if Jiang Ke’er saw the letter I left behind.

Logically speaking, with Jiang Ke'er's personality, as long as she still cares about the friendship of her comrades, she will definitely go to the Pure Land Temple to take a look.

With her spiritual detection ability and meticulous mind, she would definitely not miss the message she left behind.

Moreover, when I hid the letter, the officers and soldiers had already left, and it was unlikely that they would come back to search a second time after searching it carefully once.

Because the Pure Land Temple is large, even if it is searched, the emperor's personal permission is required. The process is cumbersome and cannot be completed in a short period of time. Therefore, the officers and soldiers have no reason to break into the Pure Land Temple.

Fellow disciples would not rummage through one's room. Even if they found the letter, they would consider the friendship between fellow disciples and help put it back to preserve the scene... So there was no reason why Jiang Ke'er couldn't find the letter.

The letter described his experience. When Jiang Ke'er saw it, she would be on guard and cooperate with him in the play. The ending would be a happy one for everyone...

147. Nan Xiaoyu

Above the sea of ​​clouds, in the stratosphere, thousands of rays of light converged towards the city of Fengong Jiangdu.

Even though the colors of their true essence were different, they all wielded long swords.

When their eyes met, they couldn't help but reveal a meaningful look.

"Now that the scourge is gone, today is the time for our Sword Sect Alliance to show its prowess."

The Sword Sect Alliance has always been at odds with the imperial court, especially with the court's recent new imperial examination system that draws resources from the people, they have accumulated deep resentment.

Therefore, they naturally would not give up the opportunity to criticize the new emperor.

They wanted to deal a head-on blow to the fledgling new imperial examination system and strangle it in the cradle.

However, the new emperor must be aware of the intentions of various sword sects. He dared to take a huge risk and summon sword practitioners from all over the world to gather in Jiangdu City. He must have also prepared his own chips to fight back.

We'll see if his bargaining chips are strong enough by then.

The sword masters, each with their own agenda, proudly flew towards Jiangdu City, ready to witness a great show with their own eyes.

And right here in the sky, among the numerous sword cultivators who were as numerous as a plague of locusts, a gentle and refined figure stood out like a crane among chickens.

Xiao Yu.

The chief disciple of the Shinto sword school and the greatest kendo genius in recent years.

He stood steadily on the sword, with a folding fan on his waist and a book in his hands.

The book was not a sword-fighting classic, but just an ordinary unofficial history novel... However, he enjoyed reading this unofficial history novel, a martial arts adventure novel that has always been despised by literati and scholars.

"Young Sect Master, please stop reading. If the Sect Master finds out that you have read these crappy books, he will scold you again."

"A broken book?" Xiao Yu was obviously used to being called that by others. He just smiled faintly and said, "When I finish reading this paragraph, the Demon Emperor will soon confess his love to this poor boy. And the poor boy has obtained the inheritance of an ancient great man. I wonder how he will deal with those cultivators who humiliated him next..."

The attendant curled his lips: "Do you still need to read this? You are the protagonist's script, and you have experienced all kinds of plots..."

"No, no, that's different."

Xiao Yu said this and turned to the next page, only to find that he had reached the last page.

He twisted the footer of the last page hard, but he couldn't produce a new page number, and his face immediately fell.

"Who the hell did you learn this from?"

"Young master, don't look anymore. Jiangdu City is almost here." The attendant took the opportunity to say.

"Alas..." Xiao Yu had no choice but to close the novel, but his expression was still somewhat sad, and it was obvious that he cared a lot about the interrupted plots.

"Don't think about that crappy book anymore. You must get first place this time. Only then will you have bargaining chips to negotiate with the emperor. Although this is not difficult for you, it is best not to be careless," the attendant advised earnestly.

Xiao Yu suddenly seemed to remember something, rubbed his temple, and asked: "Where is that kid called... Pei Min? Is he here?"

"Why mention that kind of scum?" The attendant frowned. "There is not a single good person in the Qinglian Sword Sect. However, those two disciples were lucky enough to make it to the palace examination..."

"Not everyone can be a scum," Xiao Yu said with a smile, pulling out his small folding fan, "Most scum died on the night they committed the crime, but they are still alive today."

"That's nothing compared to you."

"When it comes to debate and reasoning, he is indeed not good enough," Xiao Yu nodded, "That guy is a stubborn person, but debate requires cunning. I once went to the Novice Village to investigate his background, and he ran away crying before I could say a few words..."

At this point, Xiao Yu paused: "The name Jiang Ke'er should be his weakness. I'm afraid that in his heart, it is a benchmark-like existence. Many young people have been like this. So the current situation is very unfavorable to him... He has no chance of defeating me."

"Of course," the attendant agreed.

"But this guy is not completely useless," Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, looking at the ruins of the Shenzhou Cup venue in Jiangdu City, "This kind of person is either very bad at fighting, or fierce and reckless and very good at fighting. I'm very curious about his swordsmanship."

"Haha," the attendant laughed. "Master Young Master, you have some reason to worry about the Dao, but you are worried about swordsmanship... Who in this world can beat you in swordsmanship? Even Jiang Ke'er, she just caused more damage. In terms of swordsmanship, she can only tie with you at most."

"It's hard to say. I can't make any judgments without having fought before," Xiao Yu shook his head. "My biggest regret is that I have never fought with Jiang Ke'er..."

"So what if we've never fought each other?" The attendant looked at Xiao Yu, a proud expression on his face. "Everyone calls you 'Northern and Southern Xiao'. The swordsmanship of both of you is recognized by the world as the best in the world. At most, it's just a draw. In terms of swordsmanship alone, it's impossible to tell who's better. What's more..."

"... Not to mention 'Northern Jiangnan Xiao', Jiang Ke'er can only run rampant in the far northern corner of Northern Juluzhou. At most, she has only been to half of Shenzhou. She dare not set foot in the south where the sword is flourishing. She is just a frog in the well. If a real fight comes, she may not be as good as you without the power of the devil!"

"Who did you learn to flatter? You are so skilled at it?" Xiao Yu glanced at the attendant, "I am so awesome, why didn't I kill Jiang Ke'er in the first place?"

"That's because she has the power of the devil! That doesn't count!"

"Don't get too excited about something that didn't happen. I don't know the truth myself, but you guys are making it sound like it's real."

When Xiao Yu said this, the air was quiet for a moment.

"…But I do think I can win," he smiled.

*********

Pei Min was always worried about the scholar he met in the town that day.

The guy named Xiao Yu.

If it were him, he would definitely know where his weaknesses were.

He was totally unskilled at discussing such matters in the first place, and if he ran into him again, it would be like adding insult to injury.

Although Master always said: "Discussion of Taoism is actually a group of self-righteous pedantic scholars who think they know everything about the world after reading a few books, and then argue with other frogs in the well about the right and wrong of birds outside the well."

"Essentially, he's no different from those middle-aged losers who get drunk and talk nonsense at barbecue stalls."

But Pei Min was still a little panicked. After all, he preferred to solve problems with his hands rather than with his mouth.

If it was Master who was discussing the Dao, with all his twisted ideas, he would surely be able to distort the youngsters’ worldviews at best, or even drive them crazy at worst. But that was obviously unrealistic...

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Unfortunately, for Pei Min, whatever he feared always came true in his life.

Looking at the handsome figure hovering above the city gate, Pei Min suddenly felt a headache.

He pretended not to see Xiao Yu, flew quickly over his head and headed towards the examination room.

Xiao Yu looked at Pei Min's panicked back and laughed.

"It seems that until today, you still haven't gotten over the knot in your heart about 'Jiang Ke'er'... The winner is decided."

148. Trial of Skill

As the first large city conquered by the demon clan, more than half of the demon clan had unknowingly moved into Jiangdu City.

It was for this reason that Pei Min felt chilled when he saw the wanted posters hanging in the streets and in front of every household, as well as the graffiti on the walls that cursed the people involved.

[Solemn statement: This store has nothing to do with the Heavenly Demon Jiang Ke'er. This store fully supports your majesty's decision and is willing to contribute a little to the crusade against the Heavenly Demon Jiang Ke'er. ]

This kind of statement eager to distance oneself from the relationship is spread all over all the monster shops. The few that haven't written it have been smashed to pieces, and those shop owners are rushing to write the statements.

The racial hatred between the previous generation did not seem to have much impact on the next generation of youth. Although only two years had passed, many young people from the demon and human races had united together and began to denounce the demon named Jiang Ke'er.

Looking at all this, Pei Min felt very lonely.

This made Pei Min think of a sentence.

——If someone says you are wrong, you may not be wrong.

——When everyone says you are wrong, you should reflect on yourself.

"Master..." Pei Min was confused, "Can you let me see Jiang Ke'er first? I feel a little...uncomfortable."

"No."

Pei Min looked around with difficulty, gritted his teeth and asked: "Then Master, can you at least tell me... am I wrong?"

"you are wrong."

“……” Pei Min felt hopeless.

"But why did you listen to me?" Jiang Ke'er glanced at Pei Min, "Don't you have a brain?"

"I..." Pei Min lowered his head, "But everyone says so."

"Then they are all stupid."
