No one really thinks cultivating immortality is difficult, right?

Not all of these people came to Xu Luochen for help, some of them just came to watch the fun.

Furthermore, Xu Luochen had previously boasted about his junior fellow student being admitted to the Jin State Academy, which naturally made some people unhappy, thinking that Xu Luochen was bragging.

But there was no evidence, and Xu Luochen's image among the public was that of an honest man, so most people really believed it.

Now they come here to expose Xu Luochen's lies. Of course, most of them do come to Xu Luochen with hope.

After all, if it is true, it would not be a trivial matter.

In the center of the crowd, after hearing such a voice again, Xu Luochen became a little angry.

What does it mean to stop bragging?

What else is cheating?

I am Xu Laoshi, would I lie to others?

"My junior fellow apprentice is indeed a student of Jin State. How could he be so boastful?"

Xu Luochen said unconvinced.

"If you are really a student from Jin, why don't you say a few good words for us?"

The other party spoke up and shot back.

"What a joke! Why should I say a few good words for you? If these people are my friends, then what are you?"

"You asked me to help you just because we met by chance? If I don't help you, you slander me? Isn't that ridiculous?"

Although Xu Luochen is honest, he is not afraid of trouble. What's more, his junior brother is really a disciple of Jin State Academy. What is he afraid of?

"What a joke! We didn't say that I had to ask you for help."

"But whether you help or not, you said your junior brother is a student of Jin State Academy, so you have to produce some evidence, right?"

"Yeah, you have to show some evidence, right? Without evidence, you can even say that the Crown Prince of Jin is your apprentice's apprentice."

"Yes, even if there is no evidence, you can still say that the world's number one swordsman is your nephew."

"That's right. Without evidence, you can even say that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty is your senior brother's father."

Everyone spoke in a sarcastic tone, which made Xu Luochen a little upset, so he couldn't help but speak.

"The Crown Prince of Jin is indeed my nephew."

Xu Luochen opened his mouth and said this, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it.

Although this is true, there is no evidence to support it, which makes me seem like I am just bragging.

Sure enough, after Xu Luochen finished speaking, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"The Crown Prince of Jin? Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter."

"Xu Luochen, you don't really think we are fools, do you?"

"Brother Luo Chen, stop making trouble."

"this......."

The crowd was making a lot of noise, some monks were laughing, some were shaking their heads and sighing. Even some monks who had a good relationship with Xu Luochen felt inexplicably embarrassed after hearing this.

After all, what Xu Luochen said was a bit too far-fetched.

"My junior brother is resting in the inn. If you don't believe me, you can go with me to take a look."

Feeling the ridicule of everyone, Xu Luochen was about to explode with anger, but he knew that he must not be angry. Once he was angry, he would really be furious.

He took a deep breath and said this, inviting everyone to go to the inn to see Ye Ping.

"Okay, there's really nothing to do right now, so why not go with you?"

"Okay, I want to see what kind of genius Brother Xu's junior fellow apprentice is."

"Jin State's genius, I really want to meet him. I just hope that when we get there, he won't say that he can't find your junior brother, hahahaha."

When they spoke, they were ugly.

But someone else came closer and lowered his voice.

"Brother Xu, these people are here to cause trouble, so don't argue with them."

"Yes, Brother Xu, whether it is true or not has nothing to do with them. They are here purely to cause trouble for you."

"Well, these people had some opinions about you before, and now they are deliberately looking for trouble with you. Don't fight with them."

These people spoke up and said that they were Xu Luochen's true friends, and they tried to persuade Xu Luochen not to argue with these people.

However, Xu Luochen shook his head. He knew what these friends meant, but he still couldn't swallow this anger.

The most important thing is that my junior fellow apprentice really came from the Jin State Academy.

If it was fake, he would definitely not say a word and just keep calm for a while.

But this is true, and I can't stand it.

"Everyone, come with me."

Xu Luochen didn't say much, turned around and led everyone to the inn.

As if he was holding his breath, Xu Luochen had a calm expression. It was unknown what he was thinking and he remained silent the entire way.

As for the people who followed Xu Luochen, they were inexplicably curious.

They were not simply mocking Xu Luochen, but mainly felt that Xu Luochen was exaggerating a little too much.

If Xu Luochen said that his junior brother had joined Qingzhou College, they would have nothing to say.

But Xu Luochen insisted that his junior fellow apprentice came from the Jin State Academy, so they naturally felt a little jealous.

As soon as she felt jealous, she wanted to expose Xu Luochen.

After all, if this were true, they would feel worse.

It takes less than one stick of incense.

Xu Luochen returned to the inn.

However, at this moment, Xu Luochen was also a little embarrassed.

To be honest, even if he could prove that his junior fellow apprentice really came from the Jin State Academy, what would that matter?

Even though the person who mocked me was slapped in the face.

But these good friends of mine will definitely ask for their help. I can't possibly bite the bullet and ask Ye Ping to go find his senior brother and give them some slack, right?

If that were the case, if the master knew I was doing this, he would definitely break my legs.

Thinking of this, Xu Luochen inexplicably didn't want to enter the restaurant.

And at this moment.

In the restaurant.

Ye Ping was sitting in a corner, surrounded by a dozen old men. The person in front of him was Chen Ning.

Ye Ping was also somewhat confused by what Chen Ning said.

"Let me be the examiner?"

Ye Ping looked at Chen Ning, his eyes full of strangeness.

After Chen Ning discovered himself, he was excited at first, and then told himself that he would be the chief examiner of Baiyun Ancient City this time.

Hearing this, Ye Ping felt something was strange.

If I go to other places on weekdays, I will just be an invigilator anyway.

But the problem is, one of the contestants this time is his senior brother. How can he let himself be the invigilator for his senior brother?

Ye Ping felt that he didn't have the face to do so.

So Ye Ping immediately declined and let Chen Ning host it.

But Chen Ning was stubborn and refused to agree. He insisted that he do it. In an instant, the situation became very awkward.

"Brother Ye, this is the order of the court, and also the intention of the academy. Before I left the academy, my master told me that if I met you in Baiyun Ancient City, you would be the chief examiner."

"I am just a foil, how dare I make a noise and take over the show."

Chen Ning's face was full of bitterness.

Although he enjoyed everyone's flattery, the problem was that Chen Ning knew his own worth. Ye Ping's alchemy skills were so good that even his master admitted that he was not as good as him. How could he dare to be the chief examiner?

So he refused to be the chief examiner and gave the position to Ye Ping.

"Junior Brother Chen, you are too modest. After all, you are Elder Xu's direct disciple. The position of chief examiner is naturally no problem for you, Junior Brother Chen."

Ye Ping spoke up and said that he didn't want to be the examiner for the simple reason that he was not worthy of the position.

"Brother Ye, please don't be so modest. If you weren't here, I could be the chief examiner, but with you here, to put it bluntly, I might not even be as good as the examinee."

Chen Ning spoke, his face full of bitterness.

"Brother Ye, I don't care about anything else. Anyway, you have to be the examiner. I don't care if you don't."

"If my master knew that you were here and I was the chief examiner, I would be skinned alive by my master when I return. I won't accept this."

Chen Ning just threw a tantrum. No matter whether Ye Ping was willing or not, he would not do it anyway.

"Junior Brother Chen, what you said is a little inappropriate."

Seeing Chen Ning throwing a tantrum, Ye Ping couldn't help but feel depressed. What did this mean? Was he playing rogue?

The two of them pushed and shoved each other, and the elders who were watching on the side couldn't help but feel depressed.

They are among the best people in Baiyun Ancient City, and are considered to have some respect in Qingzhou.

But on weekdays, they fought openly and secretly for the position of chief examiner, but who would have thought that Ye Ping and Chen Ning would actually push the responsibility back and forth?

Are examiners so worthless?

Are the students of Jin State Academy so willful?

Have you considered our feelings?

The elders were silent, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable in their hearts. Is this the genius?

They trampled upon what they regarded as a treasure.

But at this moment, suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Little junior brother."

As the voice sounded, Ye Ping immediately stood up. He instantly knew that his senior brother had arrived.

"Brother, I'm here."

Ye Ping stood up, walked past the crowd, went straight to the door, came in front of Xu Luochen, and bowed respectfully.

At the same time, Xu Luochen inside the door felt inexplicably nervous. He was nervous because of nothing else but embarrassment.

Outside the door, the monks who had followed Xu Luochen to watch were all stunned when they saw Ye Ping.

Ye Ping was dressed in white, looking handsome, like a peerless gentleman. He looked extremely handsome, and his every move displayed the word "elegance" to the fullest.

One glance makes people silent.

Just based on Ye Ping's appearance, at this moment, this group of cultivators directly believed that Ye Ping was from the Jin State Academy.

If this isn’t from the Jin State Academy, then who is from the Jin State Academy?

Xu Luochen remained silent. He was still struggling over whether or not he should ask Ye Ping to let him off later.

Just at this moment, Chen Ning walked over quickly. He looked at Xu Luochen with excitement in his eyes.

He had heard from his master, Elder Xu Chang, that Ye Ping learned the art of alchemy from his senior brother, which meant that Ye Ping's senior brother was a truly peerless alchemist.

Naturally, he wanted to come over and make himself familiar with the place.

"My name is Chen Ning. I am from the Jin State Academy and a junior of Senior Brother Ye Ping. Chen Ning would like to meet you, Senior Brother."

Chen Ning walked over and bowed respectfully towards Xu Luochen.

At this moment, the monks around Xu Luochen were completely suffocated.

Chen Ning?

Isn’t this the chief examiner of the alchemy examination in Baiyun Ancient City?
