Chen Chu looked forward to Pei Ci's next reaction, but she turned around and left.
"Follow me." She only said two words in the end.
Chen Chu shook his head regretfully and watched the three of them leave the lecture hall one after another.
Lu Ping and Zi Mu followed behind Pei Ci for a while. Seeing that Pei Ci had no intention of talking to them, Zi Mu started to impart knowledge about the Seven Star List and the Seven Star Contest to Lu Ping.
"The so-called Seven Star List is a list of the members of the North Style Academy. Only those whose names are on the list are considered as official members of the North Style Academy. It is said that this list records every practitioner from the establishment of the North Style Academy for thousands of years. Now it is hidden in the most secretive place in the Seven Star Tower. According to legend … … "While Zi Mu was speaking, Pei Ci who was walking in front suddenly turned around and glanced at Zi Mu. Her expression was cold and overbearing.
Damn it, did I say something wrong?
Zi Mu immediately felt guilty. Although he came from Eastern Capital, the Sky Martial Academy he came from was not popular. Therefore, his knowledge was mostly hearsay. He was not much better than any ordinary person in Eastern Capital. He would not be surprised if there was some falsehood in the content. After being glanced at by Pei Ci, Zi Mu did not dare to continue. He squeezed out a smile: "Senior Sister, did I say something wrong?"
"No." Pei Ci said coldly.
"Please advise me." Zi Mu hurriedly said. But before he could finish, Pei Ci had already turned around and left.
Zi Mu wanted to cry but no tears came out. Of course, he did not know that Pei Ci had always been so cold. He only thought that they had offended Alkaid Peak, so any student would treat them in a bad mood. Wouldn't it be even more tragic when they reached Alkaid Peak? He heard that Academician Ruan Qingzhu of Alkaid Peak had a bad temper … … When Zi Mu thought of this, he shivered and did not dare to think further. In the end, Lu Ping who was beside him spoke: "What's wrong?"
Pei Ci stopped again. But this time, she did not turn around. She seemed to hesitate for a while before speaking.
"The living are in the heavens, the dead are in the tombstone." Pei Ci said. In the end, it did not surpass the highest word count record that Chen Chu had ever heard.
What did she mean? Zi Mu did not dare to ask and could only ponder. Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "Living names in heaven? The names of the dead will be written on the tombstones? "
"In the sky?" Zi Mu found this guess interesting. However, the dead on the tombstone was easy to understand. It probably meant that the names of the dead cultivators were engraved on the tombstone, but the names of the living were in the sky? How did the heavens record names? Lu Ping and Zi Mu looked up at the sky. The sky was blue. Lu Ping could sense some soul power, but apart from that, there was nothing else.
Pei Ci didn't explain and just led the way. Lu Ping and Zi Mu thought that this should not be a secret. They would ask others if they had the chance in the future. Thus, he stopped making wild guesses. Then, they talked about the Seven Star Trial.
"It's the Seven Star Trial … It's actually similar to the big exam our academy has once a year." Zi Mu said as he carefully looked at Pei Ci, who was in front of him. Seeing that Pei Ci didn't react, he continued, "If you pass the exam, you'll be promoted to a higher grade. If you pass the exam four times, you'll graduate. But North Style Academy isn't like this. Other than Black Tortoise Academy, the other academies don't have a grade system. Even Black Tortoise Academy's grade system is different from what we call it. Black Tortoise Academy's grade system, other than advancing, can also be demoted or skipped a grade. It's called a grade system, but it's more like a ranking list. Do you understand what I'm saying? "
Lu Ping nodded.
"In the North Style Academy, this ranking is actually the 7-Star Ranking … …" When Zi Mu mentioned the 7-Star Ranking, he guiltily paid attention to Pei Ci's reaction. When he saw that she didn't move, he continued, "The annual 7-Star Competition is to determine your position on the 7-Star Ranking. Newcomers like us can forget about it. Of course, we can only be at the bottom of the Seven Star List! This Seven Star List has a total of seven levels … … "
Speaking until here, he suddenly stopped because Pei Ci turned her head again.
"Not seven levels?" Lu Ping asked. Pei Ci turned her head. That meant that Zi Mu was wrong. Lu Ping had already grasped this rule.
"Not necessarily the bottom." Pei Ci said.
"Oh, that makes sense." Lu Ping nodded. When Zi Mu said that newcomers would definitely be at the bottom of the Seven Star List, he could hear that it wasn't strict enough. Zi Mu actually knew that he was too full of himself. But he was just casually lamenting. He ignored the details to show that strength reigned supreme in this list. In the end, Pei Ci had to correct such an insignificant detail.
Zi Mu cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything. He wasn't as calm as Lu Ping. He was afraid of leaving behind a bad impression. Especially since he had already eaten Ruan Qingzhu's rabbit and offended an extremely outstanding person.
Following that, the three of them didn't speak as they followed the same mountain path they took to Alioth yesterday. Zi Mu's body had yet to recover. The long mountain path caused him to sweat profusely. His spirit was exhausted, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere. There wasn't an end to his ability's disappearance. If he fainted again, how would he have the face to stay in North Style Academy?
Finally, they arrived at Alkaid Peak.
Zi Mu was drenched in sweat. His face was flushed and he was panting heavily. He wanted to collapse on the spot. But there was already a male and female student from Alkaid Peak in front of him. He had no choice but to persevere.
The two of them hurried over and greeted Pei Ci.
"Senior Pei Ci has troubled you to personally bring these two brats over." The two of them said with a flattering smile.
Lu Ping and Zi Mu now knew that this Senior Pei Ci was called Pei Ci. Looking at the two's attitude and tone, their position in Alkaid Peak wasn't low. Bringing the two of them to Alkaid Peak wasn't worth it at all.
"It was on the way." Pei Ci coldly said. Her tone and demeanor were no different from when Lu Ping and Zi Mu spoke. The two of them then knew that this Senior Pei Ci had such a temperament. It wasn't that she didn't have any good feelings towards them. Lu Ping didn't think much about it, but Zi Mu heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that the situation on Alkaid Peak might not be as difficult as he imagined.
But just as he thought that, the male and female Radiant Jade Academy students looked at the two of them as if they were completely different people. The male had a stern expression on his face, while the female had a look of disdain and disdain.
"You two really have guts. Our Alkaid Peak's rabbit, you actually dare to casually roast and eat it?" The male disciple spoke, and his tone was extremely stern as he reprimanded them.
"Truly trash. How can you be so tired after walking on such a mountain path? It stinks. " The female student sized up the two of them. She couldn't find any fault with Lu Ping, but she could see Zi Mu's exhausted appearance. She fanned her nose with one hand, disgusted by Zi Mu's sweaty smell.
Zi Mu's face turned even redder, but he didn't dare to explain. Lu Ping was about to say something, but Pei Ci, who had been walking away alone, suddenly stopped and turned her head. She did the same thing she did every time Zi Mu said something wrong.
"He's injured," Pei Ci said.
The male and female were stunned. They didn't know what Pei Ci was talking about. Zi Mu understood, but he was also stunned. He didn't expect this cold and expressionless Senior Pei Ci to help him explain.
Unexpectedly, Pei Ci added, "His cultivation level is low as well."
Tears streamed down Zi Mu's face. This Senior Pei Ci, did she have to say it so clearly? The pitiful Zi Mu looked at Lu Ping, who was next to him. He hoped to seek some consolation, but he saw Lu Ping nodding his head in agreement. He suddenly felt like killing himself. This Big Brother of his wasn't that bad after all!
After Pei Ci finished speaking, she left. Soon, she was far away. The male and female had never heard Pei Ci say so many words at once. They were stunned for a long time. Only when Pei Ci's figure disappeared around the bend in the mountain did they come back to their senses.
Their originally puzzled faces changed when they looked at Lu Ping and Zi Mu.
"You two, you are punished to take care of the rabbits on Alkaid Peak for a month. If anything happens to any of them, you two will be in trouble!" The female student pointed at the two of them and said sternly.
