Chapter 831: 7. The Academy Pointing at the Chess Game, Breaking the Sword Move in the Moonlit Night (2 in 1)(3)
After a long time,
A soft sigh sounded beside the pool.
“Is there really someone born with knowledge in this world…
And this was an Innate Saint?
Saints really could not be judged by the hearts of mortals.
This old man has always thought highly of himself, but I didn’t expect that I’m just a mortal. Hahaha.”
Although the old man said this, he clearly did not feel discouraged or dejected. Instead, he felt sincerely happy.
Especially when he thought that this student would join his Tingxue Academy, not the Biluo Academy in the east of Lintian City, the Coast of the East Sea, or the Haoran Academy in the south of Mingyue City, he was even happier.
Under normal circumstances, if it was a person in power among mortals, they would definitely find out the identity of this youth and even send people to follow and investigate in secret.
But the old man did not.
This was the least respect he could show to the young man.
On his way back, Xia Ji saw many young students. Some were charming, some were beautiful, and their auras were rich. Their young faces were filled with confidence.
When these students saw him walk out of the mountain gate, they only glanced at him from the corner of their eyes and did not look at him anymore.
Xia Ji walked along the mountain path for about ten miles and arrived at the mountain gate. He went to the stable and handed the horse retrieving token to Xiao Tong.
Xiao Tong was feeding the horses with fodder. When he saw the horse retrieving order, he led Xia Ji to the second seat in the third row and led the black and yellow filly out.
The filly seemed to recognize Xia Ji as it rubbed against his clothes affectionately.
At this moment, a cool west wind rose from the end of the road, causing the students who were still ” pre-registering ” to wrap up their clothes tightly. A few students saw Xia Ji walk out of the mountain gate safely and were tempted to enter to explore the opportunities.
But no matter what they were thinking or what they would encounter, Xia Ji had already ridden his horse far away.
He went back to the west gate from the south gate and then returned to the house on the west side of Liangzhou City.
In the courtyard.
Miao Miao’s expression was unusually serious as she held a piece of paper in her hands.
Xia Ji locked up the filly. When he passed by Miao Miao, he glanced at the paper curiously. It seemed to be some kind of move.
Miao Miao retracted her hand, not allowing him to look. She then said, “”There’s dinner in the pot. Go and eat it.”
Xia Ji didn’t ask further…
Then, he vaguely heard Miao Miao gesturing and muttering, ” How should I break this move? ”
At night, the moon hung high in the sky. Miao Miao frowned and thought for a long time. Then, her eyes suddenly lit up. She drew a small figure on the paper and wrote some words. Then, she put the paper under the eaves of the door and pressed it gently with a stone. Then, she went to bed.
When Xia Ji heard his breathing become even, he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and walked to the front of the house.
She grabbed the stone and looked at the paper under the moonlight.
At this moment, he understood.
So this was a test question.
Obviously, someone had given Miao Miao a ‘question’ and asked her to ‘answer it’.
However, this ‘topic’ was a sword move.
Xia Ji looked at the sword move and felt that it was indeed somewhat immortal and mysterious.
Miao Miao’s answer seemed to have taken into account the few back-up moves of this sword move, but she had unknowingly been lured into an incomparably hidden trap…It was inevitable that he would lose to the question setter.
Hence, Xia Ji thought for a moment, then took a pen and added a few strokes on the paper.
Instantly, Miaomiao’s answer was impeccable.
Not only was it flawless, but it also completely suppressed the other party in terms of conception, causing the other party’s originally profound sword move to become clumsy.
After Xia Ji was done, he quietly pushed the paper back under the rock, yawned, and went to bed.
