Madam Hua and Fourth Master Lin looked over.
His eyes were filled with admiration. When the young man learned of the injustice, he did not complain or be angry. Instead, with a calm heart and a blazing sun-like ambition, he wanted to use the sword in his hand to cut open the injustice in front of him.
An Le’s white clothes fluttered in the spring breeze that shuttled between the halls as he cupped his fists and bowed to Madam Hua and Fourth Master Lin.
“Time is tight. I won’t paint for the young masters today.” An Le said softly.
Lin Zhuifeng’s eyes lit up. “Sir, are you going to challenge Ye Yinping, who is ranked eighth on the Little Sacred Ranking?”
Everyone’s gazes landed on An Le’s shoulder.
An Le smiled and nodded without denying it.
This time, everyone in the Water Pavilion was interested.
The Ye Residence and the Lin Residence had a good relationship. An Le wanted to challenge Ye Yinping, but they could not help but feel curious.
Madam Hua personally asked Xi Xiang to prepare a carriage and send An Le to the Ye Residence.
Madam Hua and the others also followed in a carriage, planning to watch the battle between An Le and Ye Yinping.
Although Ye Yinping was not as strong as Ye Wenxi, she was still a double fifth realm cultivator and was definitely not weak.
An Le challenged a double fifth realm cultivator as a double fourth realm cultivator…
Could he win?
Everyone really did not know.
A peach blossom that fell from the peach tree branch of the benefactor’s
residence beside Jing Street was crushed by the wheels of the carriage. As it
rolled, it left some traces and peach blossom fragrance on the limestone road.
In the luxurious carriage, An Le sat alone. In front of him was the information about Ye Yinping that Madam Hua had prepared for An Le.
Ye Yinping’s cultivation level, the weapons she used, the level of her cultivation technique, and so on…
It was very detailed.
However, after taking a look, An Le closed the document and placed it aside. He closed his eyes and sat upright in the carriage, quietly listening to the rustling of the wheels over the limestone.
With a thought, he sank into the bamboo sword Green Mountain at his waist.
In an instant, he felt that everything in the world had retreated. Only the majestic Green Mountain and the Future Sword Qi that coiled around it were left in front of him.
He visualized Green Mountain and the Future Sword Qi to nurture his mental power.
An Le’s heart gradually calmed down.
When the Ye Residence gradually appeared in front of him, An Le suddenly opened his eyes in the carriage.
The moment it opened its eyes, a majestic aura burst forth from its body. It was the invincible aura that it had gathered so far. The white python coiled above the carriage, raised its body, looked at the Ye Residence, and opened its mouth to roar.
Vigorous battle intent slapped towards the Ye Residence like a huge wave.
At the same time.
In the Imperial City deep in Jing Street, the city gate opened.
The noble person sitting in the Heavenly Profound Palace also spoke and gave an oral order.
In order not to collide with the Winter Food Festival, the Hall Examination would be held in three days. It would be held seven days in advance to prepare for the top ten of the List A Scholar Rankings.
An armored guard personally rode his horse out of the imperial road of the Heavenly Profound Palace and announced the news, pasting it on the side of the two Spring Quarter Examination rankings on the noticeboard.
For a moment, the scholars and ink merchants gathered in front of the rankings and fought to watch. An uproar broke out.
In an instant, the news spread throughout Lin’an like a hurricane.
Some people did not understand the reason, but some Confucian scholars on the Literary Department’s Literary Music Rankings, Body Tempering martial artists in the Martial Temple, and so on knew what was going on.
They all thought of An Le. Most cultivators knew that An Le was gathering an invincible aura.
He was preparing for the Hall Examination.
But in the end..
The Hall Examination would start seven days early. This was equivalent to compressing the time for An Le to gather an invincible aura and cutting off the possibility of him walking the legendary path again!
Yanchun, wine tavern.
Li You ‘an and Zhao Huangting were sitting by the window. The two of them were drinking a pot of old yellow wine and a stack of boiled peanuts.
With a thought, they naturally heard the news of the Hall Examination in advance that had spread throughout Lin’an.
Li You ‘an frowned slightly, picked up the cup, and took a sip of yellow wine.
At the side, Zhao Huangting peeled the boiled peanuts. A disdainful sneer appeared on his wrinkled face. “This group of civil officials… only know how to play these disgusting tricks.”
“It’s said that they wanted to avoid clashing with the Winter Food Festival, but its purpose is obvious.”
Zhao Huangting shook his head.
“It just so happens that the person sitting on the Emperor’s throne likes to see this.”
“The Zhao family has moved south, but this problem hasn’t changed at all.”
Li You ‘an drank his wine silently. The future he had seen on the precipice appeared in front of him, and his eyes darkened.
There were some things that would happen in the future for a reason. Just as the Sacred Teacher had said, everything in the world had its cause and effect.
“They just want to compress the time An Le has to gather an invincible aura so that he can fail to rank in the top three in the Hall Examination. In the end, he falls into the Dali Temple’s Zhao Prison. He will be easy to deal with at that time.” Li You’an said calmly.
“But to An Le, the impact is actually… only so-so.”
“Now, his invincible aura is no longer weak. It’s even harder for him to gather an invincible aura and walk the legendary path than it was for me back then. He’s already prepared.”
“I guess An Le won’t feel sorry for himself. Instead, he will raise Green Mountain and slash it down ruthlessly.”
“Cleaving through the obstacles blocking his way, turning everything into an invincible force on his body, and walking on his own path… a legendary path that’s even more legendary than mine.”
Li You ‘an questioned softly.
Zhao Huangting stopped peeling the peanuts and raised his eyes slightly. He glanced at Li You’an and felt that he seemed to have changed.
He was not like this in the past. Although he also thought highly of An Le, he had never trusted him as much as today. In fact… he was a little obsessed. “Are you and An Le… hiding something from me?”
Zhao Huangting narrowed his eyes and asked sneakily as he threw the peanuts into his mouth.
However, Li You’an had yet to answer.
The two of them sensed an aura roaring like a white python in front of the Ye Residence on Jing Street.
Li You’an smiled.
The old man was stunned for a moment before he slammed the table and laughed.
“So be it. I don’t have much time left anyway. It doesn’t matter!”
“Come, let’s drink!”
Jing Street, Ye Residence.
In the garden of the Water Pavilion.
The two girls who were visualizing opened their eyes.
Ye Wenxi turned to look outside the Ye Residence. The majestic aura of the white python invincible aura that was vaguely about to transform into a Heavenly Dragon increased, and a strange glint flashed in her eyes.
She turned to look at Ye Yinping, who had also opened her eyes.
The corners of her lips could not help but curl up.
“Look, wasn’t I right? I told you that he would come and stab you with a sword soon… You didn’t believe me.”
Ye Wenxi spoke virtuously.
Ye Yinping pursed her lips and slowly stood up. She stared at the white python invincible aura outside the Ye Residence and her body trembled slightly. Her fair skin flushed red.
“From the 19th place on the Little Sacred Ranking to the 9th place in the blink of an eye!”
“Sister, he’s really fast!”
“But today, I will make him unable to move further!”
Ye Yinping smiled.
She raised her hand and pointed it in the direction of the Water Pavilion’s rockery. Suddenly, an eighteen-foot-long spear that was like flames shot over and was held in her hand.
The Ye family had a daughter who was as powerful as a phoenix!
A wisp of battle intent burned in Ye Yinping’s eyes.
“Even if Master An is on good terms with the Lin Residence, if he wants to step on me, Ye Yinping, to gather invincible aura.. ‘
“He has to have the ability to do so..”
