"Did we change the words just now?"
"Yes, from 'come in and out' to 'beasts' and 'worse than beasts'."
"Your little handmaiden won't laugh at us anymore, will she?"
"That depends on whether she hears it or not."
"…"
"What kind of person is Third Sister?"
"You're asking me?"
"Am I asking the Heaven and the Earth?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"How did Third Sister enter the Academy?"
"When I was summoned to the Second floor of the Academy with six A + grades, Third Sister was already everyone's Third Sister. How would I know how she entered the Academy?"
"Can you not tell us about your glorious deeds every time we talk about the history of the Academy? I'm really tired of hearing it. "
"But I did get six A + grades. Who could get that in so many years? I remember you gave up on two subjects during the academy entrance exam and took a blank piece of paper? "
"Forget it."
Ning Que and Chen Pipi sat outside the cliff cave, gnawing on the corn cob cooked by Sangsang in advance and chatting vaguely. But the process of chatting was as childish and boring as usual.
Chen Pipi was in no mood to discuss the no-boundary spirit with Ning Que because he was worried about whether the little girl from the Devil's Doctrine could escape from Third Sister's hands. After sitting at the entrance of the cliff cave for a while, he finally could not help but stand up and said seriously, "I forgot something important."
Ning Que waved his hand to show that he understood and said with a smile, "No matter you are in a hurry to go to the toilet, or the Headmaster wants to test your homework, whatever the reason, just go."
Chen Pipi smiled awkwardly and was about to walk down the cliff platform when he suddenly thought of something. He took out an old book and threw it to Ning Que.
Ning Que took the old book and said in surprise, "Is this … the third book?"
The Headmaster prepared three books for him and he had learned two. He knew that he would see the third book sooner or later, but he did not expect that he would get it so quickly and easily.
"No."
Chen Pipi said, "The scholar knew that you were imprisoned in the cliff cave and wanted to see you. He thought that the mountain was too high and wasted his time, so he asked me to bring you a book as a gift to relieve your boredom."
Ning Que looked at the cover of the book and asked in confusion, "Tea Scripture?"
Chen Pipi nodded and said, "Scholars say that tea can clear the mind. If you don't have the time or the mood to make tea, you can read the Tea Scripture. It can also have the same effect."
"I don't need to drink tea, and I don't need to read tea classics. My heart is already clear enough."
Ning Que said, "Otherwise, why do you think I haven't lost my temper?"
Chen Pipi laughed awkwardly and turned to walk out of the cliff plateau. After a while, he stopped again, wiped the sweat off his face, and walked back to the cliff cave. He said helplessly, "Second Brother asked me to inform you of another thing, so I'll leave after you finish it."
Ning Que was slightly startled and asked, "What is it?"
Chen Pipi said, "A few days ago, a Sword Master from the South Jin Kingdom submitted a letter of challenge to the Academy."
Ning Que said with a smile, "It turns out that there are people who are not afraid of death in the world."
Chen Pipi said, "That Great Sword Master is young, but he is very powerful."
Even Chen Pipi praised the strength of the South Jin Kingdom, which surprised Ning Que. He asked, "Is there another Grand Cultivator in the Knowing Destiny State?"
Chen Pipi shook his head and said, "They are not weeds by the roadside. How can we meet one every time we want?"
Ning Que thought, "There are at least five or six powerhouses in the Knowing Destiny State in the front yard of the back mountain of the Academy, including you. Doesn't that mean you are weeds or wildflowers by the roadside?"
Chen Pipi said, "That Great Sword Master from the South Jin Kingdom has been immersed in the upper Seethrough State for many years, so he must have seen the threshold of the Knowing Destiny State. He is probably similar to Prince Long Qing when he first came to Chang 'an."
Ning Que always felt that there was something strange about this matter. The upper Seethrough State was indeed a very powerful existence in the eyes of the world's cultivators. But when Prince Long Qing came to Chang 'an with a dazzling reputation, Chen Pipi still did not pay attention to him. Why did he pay so much attention to this Great Sword Master from the South Jin Kingdom?
More importantly, that Great Sword Master was only in the upper Seethrough State. Why did he dare to submit a letter of challenge to the Academy?
He suddenly thought of a possibility and asked tentatively, "Did that Great Sword Master from the South Jin Kingdom not leave after he was defeated?"
Chen Pipi shook his head and said, "He was not defeated, so of course he did not leave."
Ning Que said, "Even if Second Brother did not fight, you could have easily sent that person away. What happened?"
Chen Pipi looked at him and said, "That Sword Master from the South Jin Kingdom clearly stated that he wanted to challenge you."
Ning Que thought that it was as he expected. He pointed at the bedding and futon in the cliff cave and said, "I am a prisoner now."
Chen Pipi comforted him and said, "You will be able to get out one day."
Ning Que walked into the cave and pulled out a bamboo chair. He leaned comfortably on the back of the chair and said, "I don't care. Since the Academy is not afraid of losing face and no one to accept the challenge, then let that Great Sword Master from the South Jin Kingdom stand guard at the entrance of the Academy. It is not spring and the weather is not warm yet. I think he will not wait too long."
Chen Pipi said, "It is not that we do not want to fight, but we cannot."
Ning Que was slightly surprised. He sat up straight and asked, "Why?"
"Because that Sword Master from the South Jin Kingdom will not fight with us at all."
Chen Pipi said helplessly, "Once he sensed that we were about to appear, he would shout idiotic words about sacrificing himself to the sword at the entrance of the Academy, as if he would commit suicide at any time."
Ning Que said mercilessly, "If he wants to commit suicide, then so be it. Why do you care so much? At most, ask the handyman teachers in the front yard to prepare a few more buckets of water and wash the blood away. "
Chen Pipi said, "Because his background is a little tricky. His family … and a few professors in the Academy are old friends. He only sat at the entrance of the Academy and was extremely respectful and sincere. He said that he would wait for you to finish your cultivation and come out of seclusion before seeking a fair fight. We really have no reason to drive him away."
Ning Que said, "Why does he have to fight with me?"
Chen Pipi said sympathetically, "Perhaps because everyone knows that you are the weakest among us."
Ning Que had long become numb to such descriptions. He sighed and said, "In the end, the weakest one was pushed to the front by you guys to fight to the death."
Suddenly, he thought of Chen Pipi's words and asked, "Who is this Sword Master?"
Chen Pipi reminded him, "He is from the South Jin Kingdom."
Ning Que suddenly thought of that dazzling golden name and his expression suddenly became solemn. He looked at Chen Pipi in disbelief and asked, "The most powerful person in the world, the Sage of Sword, Liu Bai … actually wants to challenge me?"
Chen Pipi was stunned and then said angrily, "Do you think this is possible?"
Ning Que came to his senses and said awkwardly, "It seems that it is indeed not possible."
"Although that Great Sword Master from the South Jin Kingdom is not the Sage of Sword, he is indeed related to Liu Bai. Therefore, since he has lowered himself, we can't do anything even if we are disgusted and annoyed as if we had eaten a fly. If Second Brother fights today, how can we fight with Liu Bai in the future?"
Chen Pipi said, "That person is Liu Yiqing, the youngest brother of Liu Bai. It is said that he has been cultivating in the private house of the Liu family and has not entered the Sword Garret. Therefore, he is not well-known. It was not until he entered Chang 'an alone that the world knew that the Liu family has another young powerhouse in Sword Taoism."
Ning Que asked, "Now I am locked in the cliff cave by my teacher and can't get out in a short time. Why did Second Brother ask you to tell me about this?"
"Liu Yiqing has been sitting at the gate of the Academy for a whole seven days."
Chen Pipi looked at him and said, "He sits on the futon, drinking the water provided by the Academy and eating his own dry food. He meditates all day long just to wait for you to come out of seclusion."
"Looking at his behavior, it would not be surprising if he waited at the gate of the Academy for a year."
"Liu Yiqing's attitude is respectful but extremely persistent. No matter how the professors in the front yard persuade him, he only smiled slightly and refused to leave or enter the Academy to wait."
"Although the futon he is sitting on is not blocking the path of the students, sitting at the gate of the Academy every day is like blocking the gate of the Academy in the eyes of others. People passing by can't help but talk about him. This matter has already spread to Chang 'an and I'm afraid it will soon spread to the whole world."
Chen Pipi said, "Second Brother is a little annoyed, so he asked me to tell you that a powerhouse has come to challenge you outside the Academy. He hopes that you can remove the inhibition and come out of the cave as soon as possible."
Ning Que asked after a moment of silence, "What is Liu Yiqing's state and strength?"
Chen Pipi knew that he was not asking about states like Seethrough and Knowing Destiny, but specific combat strength. However, he had rarely fought in his life and could not make an accurate evaluation. Suddenly, he remembered that Second Brother had sighed with emotion when he stood on the mountainside and looked at the South Jin swordsman sitting cross-legged at the gate of the Academy.
"Second Brother said that if Liu Yiqing does not lose his Lucky Chance, he will most likely catch up to his brother in the future."
Ning Que was stunned and then fell into silence again.
He did not expect such a wonderful story to happen outside the Academy on the other side of the mountain after being imprisoned in the cliff cave for more than 20 days. He also did not expect that after defeating Monk Guan Hai from the Lanke Temple and killing Master Dao Shi from the Xuankong Temple, his cultivation in the human realm had not ended.
Someone still came to challenge him.
And that person was the younger brother of Liu Bai, the Sage of Sword, the strongest in the world.
The real problem was that even Second Brother thought that he had the potential to become the second Sage of Sword.
Ning Que thought for a long time and suddenly laughed. He lay back on the cool bamboo chair and took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and gently covered his face.
Chen Pipi asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Ning Que's voice sounded a little dull through the silk handkerchief, "I want to sleep."
Chen Pipi said, "Someone is blocking the gate of the Academy and wants to challenge you. How can you sleep?"
"Just like what we have said these days, he can't come in and I can't go out. No matter how strong that person from the South Jin Kingdom is, he can't hurt me. What do I have to worry about?"
"Aren't you worried that the Academy's reputation will be damaged?"
"Will the Academy's reputation be destroyed just because I am sleeping? If I really can't bear it anymore, I believe that Second Brother will not care about Liu Bai's face and will definitely kill that guy. "
Ning Que turned his body and lay comfortably in the cave, leaving his back to Chen Pipi. He said, "Help me pass a message to Liu Yiqing. Tell him that Mr. Thirteen is now cultivating in martial arts and talisman and will need at least three months of seclusion. If he can bear the smell of horse dung in the meadow, the dust from the carriage wheels and the low temperature at night, he can wait as long as he wants. I don't care even if the flowers wilt."
