"Wait, what's your name?"
The white-haired old man suddenly called out to Ye Xuan.
"Ye Xuan!"
After Ye Xuan reported his name, he immediately left. Now that he had passed the exam, he had to enter the inner courtyard to investigate Mo Xueyi.
However, just as he was about to leave, the old scholar from Soothing Heart Lake suddenly paid him a visit.
"Teacher, this student wishes to see you."
The old scholar shouted from outside the palace.
"I'm free right now, come in."
The white-haired old man's voice came from inside.
The old scholar walked in and got straight to the point: "Teacher, I just received a poem, please take a look."
The white-haired old man took the paper from the old scholar and read it: "Quiet night thoughts, bright moonlight before the autumn leaves, suspected of frost on the ground, looking up at the bright moon, looking down at home. En, not bad, not bad, was it written by you? "
"No, it wasn't written by this student, it was written by a junior brother named Ye Xuan. Moreover, this poem has the effect of improving one's state of mind. Just now, when the junior brothers listened to it, the effect was no worse than junior sister Nalan's Calm Heart Song. "The old scholar shook his head.
"What, improve one's state of mind?"
The white-haired old man felt that it was inconceivable. Currently, there were no more than ten disciples in the Northern Heavens Academy who could create poems that could improve one's state of mind.
How could an outer courtyard student do it?
"Wait, Ye Xuan?"
At this time, the white-haired old man suddenly thought of something. Wasn't the person who passed the exam called Ye Xuan?
"Teacher, you know him?" The old scholar asked in astonishment.
"Not only do I know him, the person who passed the exam was called Ye Xuan."
The white-haired old man frowned and asked: "Let me ask you, is the person who wrote this poem, Ye Xuan's killing intent second only to Mo Xueyi?"
"That's right!"
The old scholar nodded.
"I never thought that it would really be him. A person with such killing intent could actually write such a poem. Could it be that he wants to walk the path of the Slaughtering Scholar?"
The white-haired old man muttered.
"Slaughtering Scholar …"
Upon hearing this name, the old scholar shuddered violently.
The four words' Slaughtering Scholar 'were widely known within the Northern Heavens Academy. He was an anomaly within the Northern Heavens Academy, and at the same time, a legend.
That was because he was the founder of the Northern Heavens Academy, and also the first Dean.
It was also because of this that the Northern Heavens Academy's advancement test was conducted according to the recitation of the Meditation Scripture, and not according to the Slaughter Aura on one's body.
After all, there were still some unusual creatures who could ignore the effects of the Tranquil Record.
At this moment, Ye Xuan had already left the examination palace and arrived at the mountain gate of the Northern Heavens Academy.
"Junior Brother, why are you here again?"
The few old scholars from before said with some surprise.
"Senior brothers, I have passed the advancement test. This is the proof."
As Ye Xuan spoke, he approached and took out the proof of passing the test.
"How is that possible?"
The few old scholars looked at each other in disbelief.
How long had Ye Xuan been gone? Not even three minutes had passed, yet he was able to obtain a certificate for the advancement examination. Could this examination certificate be fake?
The few old scholars carefully sized it up, and were even more shocked.
"This proof of examination is indeed real. Junior brother, you actually passed?"
One of the old scholars said in surprise.
"Yes!"
Ye Xuan nodded.
With Mo Xueyi as a precedent, there shouldn't be any problems for him. At this moment, he was thinking of getting these old scholars to move aside and let him enter the inner courtyard of the Northern Heavens Academy to investigate.
"This …"
The few old scholars looked at each other, and returned the examination certificate to Ye Xuan.
"Junior Brother, you can go in!"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan cupped his hands towards the few people, and passed through the mountain gate and went up the mountain.
However, to be safe, one of the scholars hurried to the examination palace and asked the examiner.
It didn't matter, since Ye Xuan had really passed the examination.
… …
"I never thought that Mo Xueyi would pass the advancement test so quickly and enter the inner courtyard of the Northern Heavens Academy."
Ye Xuan thought as he ran up the mountain.
Just now, he had wasted a few minutes to go to the examination, and in those few minutes, Mo Xueyi had long disappeared.
For convenience, Ye Xuan hurriedly went to the inner courtyard to report, and changed into the inner courtyard scholar's attire. This way, he wouldn't be stopped during the investigation.
After seeing the examination certificate for Ye Xuan, the inner courtyard scholar who registered for him was stunned for a long time.
Previously, when he registered for Mo Xueyi, he was also shocked.
Now, after seeing Ye Xuan, he was shocked.
However, since Ye Xuan had obtained the teacher's approval, he had the qualifications to enter the inner courtyard.
Soon, Ye Xuan finished his registration and left.
Along the way, he attracted a lot of attention, because the old scholars could feel the murderous aura on his body.
Ye Xuan could also feel the wary gazes of the people around him.
"This person, could he be a spy from the Moon Worship Demonic Sect or the Underworld?"
Many people thought so in their hearts.
The Moon Worship Demonic Sect was the Northern Heavens Academy's arch-enemy. Previously, the Northern Heavens Academy had gone into hiding after eliminating the Moon Worship Demonic Sect.
Now that the Moon Worship Demonic Sect had revived, the Northern Heavens Academy opened up again.
Although Ye Xuan had only been in the Northern Heavens Academy for less than a day, with his outstanding perception, he had heard many things.
"Anyway, I'm only here to investigate, and my identity is clean. What are you afraid of?"
Ye Xuan wasn't worried at all.
The Northern Heavens Academy had the best atmosphere amongst all the influences that he had joined. The disciples of the Northern Heavens Academy were all very harmonious, with very few conflicts occurring between them. Under normal circumstances, they would all be cultivating, studying, or interacting.
Ye Xuan had joined the Northern Heavens Academy with a purpose, and that was to investigate the brother and sister's case.
Previously, he had heard from the frivolous scholar Tang Yuanlong that the Northern Heavens Academy had destroyed the Underworld in Zhou Huacheng and captured many people.
This was a clue.
Of course, there was another clue.
The Underworld and Mo Xueyi seemed to be looking for people. Coincidentally, Mo Xueyi had also infiltrated the Northern Heavens Academy, so Ye Xuan felt that it would be better to ask Mo Xueyi directly.
However, he didn't know where Mo Xueyi had run off to.
At this time, a group of people attracted Ye Xuan's attention. This group of people gathered in front of a stone wall and talked enthusiastically.
Originally, this wouldn't have attracted Ye Xuan's attention, but he heard some interesting things.
"I never thought that there would be someone with such literary talent in the Outer Court. Truly unexpected."
"This Silent Night Thought is indeed amazing. I feel that my state of mind has improved a little."
"I reckon that if a scholar in the Fulfillment Realm copied this Silent Night Thought and made it into a Heavenly Artifact, it might have the effect of exorcism."
"I wonder which family this Li Bai was born in."
