"Name."
As Lin Tianbiao waited expectantly, Lu Ping and Ying Xiao finally arrived at the checkpoint. Lu Ping was in front, accepting a simple interrogation like everyone else. Newcomers who joined the North Style Academy didn't seem to have done anything from start to finish. In fact, from the moment they handed in their recommendation letters, their names had already been recorded by the academy. During the process of the newcomer's trial, everyone's strength of courage and characteristics would also be collected. After that, some would be eliminated, and some would stay. After that, they would go to the Megrez Peak's observatory to draw the stars into their bodies. Every newcomer had already been collected by the academy without them even realizing it.
Right now, this disciple of the Alkaid Peak's Imperial Academy was holding a list of names of the newcomers that senior apprentice brother Ji had submitted to the Imperial Academy. Senior apprentice brother Ji, who always seemed to be domineering in front of the newcomers, actually had never made a mistake in the matters he was in charge of since arriving at the Northern Mountain New Academy. He had never deviated from the tasks that he had to hand over to the newcomers.
"Lu Ping." Lu Ping wrote his name on the list.
The doorman tapped on the directory with his finger. It seemed as if he had found something. He nodded and looked at the big and small bags in Lu Ping's hands. However, at this moment, someone walked up to him and patted his shoulder. He said, "Apprentice brother, let me do it."
"Oh?" That disciple didn't say anything else after glancing at the newcomer. After handing over the list, he moved to the side to rest.
"Name." The person who took the list looked coldly at Lu Ping, and asked the question that Lu Ping had already answered.
"Lu Ping." Lu Ping looked at the person in front of him and answered again.
This person's name wasn't mentioned in Lu Ping's memory, but he remembered this person. That day when he and Zi Mu were in the Alkaid Peak's rabbit enclosure, it was this person and another female student from the Alkaid Peak who destroyed the rabbit enclosure they had painstakingly built. They were chased and beaten by Lu Ping until this teacher, Zhou Chongan, intervened.
In the end, Zhou Chongan was slapped in the face by Ruan Qingzhu, an academician who rushed over. Jiang He and Ding Feng were punished to keep watch at night for a month.
Lu Ping didn't know Jiang He's name, but he still remembered these things.
Now that Jiang He had purposely taken the field, he asked the names of the people he had already interrogated. The intention of making things difficult for him couldn't be any clearer.
"What's in your hand?" Jiang He stared at the things in Lu Ping's hand and asked.
He was originally not a member of the Imperial Gate Courtyard, but after being punished to keep watch at night for a month, he came to the Imperial Gate Courtyard to be on temporary duty. The North Style Academy naturally had its own rules to forbid bringing things up the mountain. Jiang He had already made up his mind to make things difficult for Lu Ping. Jiang He saw that there were a lot of things in this guy's hands. He didn't believe that he couldn't find anything wrong with so many things.
Even so, he could only be considered to be strictly adhering to the rules. The bystanders could not say anything. Although this probably wouldn't affect Lu Ping too much, Jiang He was happy that there were just some obstacles. He and his mentor had been humiliated because of Lu Ping, but he had no intention of letting it go. However, Jiang He, who had been chased and beaten by Lu Ping, did not have the guts to make a move. It was rare for him to be punished to keep watch at night, but he actually got such an opportunity when he was on duty at the Imperial Gate Courtyard. Since he was making use of his duty and the academy's rules, Jiang He immediately straightened his back.
Lu Ping had indeed brought a lot of things. Jiang He carefully inspected the others, so they didn't take it seriously. But when Lu Ping showed Jiang He his things one by one, he was dumbfounded.
He wanted to find fault with Lu Ping's things, but he couldn't find anything wrong with Lu Ping's many things.
That was because all this guy bought were daily necessities. He didn't have any items that could be used for training or fighting. The things that the North Style Academy prohibited were naturally in these areas. How could these daily necessities be prohibited?
Jiang He was dumbstruck. He didn't think that his little scheme would fail so decisively. Could it be that this guy knew that he would make things difficult for him here, so he purposely bought a bunch of things to tease him?
It was no wonder that Jiang He thought so. After all, all the purchases he had made in Pine Creek Town were for the Seven Star Examinations. The newcomers participating for the first time would be even more serious. Who would go down the mountain and buy a bunch of things like pots and pans when they came back?
The scene froze. Compared to the other three checkpoints, Lu Ping's group's stagnation was somewhat eye-catching. No matter how unwilling Jiang He was. He had no choice but to let them pass.
Just when he was about to signal for them to pass, another person suddenly appeared in front of the checkpoint, waving his hand to stop Lu Ping from advancing.
"Wait," this person said.
Jiang He turned his head to look. The person who had come over was actually the first disciple, Deng Wenjun. Because the Seven Star Examinations were around the corner, aside from the students who frequently went to Pine Creek Town to purchase things, many Big Dipper students who had left the mountain to travel would also hurry back to participate in the examinations. The number of people entering and leaving the mountain gate increased exponentially every day. Naturally, Deng Wenjun couldn't help but ask more questions. Today, he even personally came to oversee the Imperial Courtyard. However, he only stood guard at the side. After an entire day, this was the first time he personally went into action.
Seeing Deng Wenjun's actions. Many people's attention was focused on him. The Dean of the Imperial Courtyard, Sun Xiao, had already arrived in two steps.
Watching from afar, Lin Tianbiao's heart skipped a beat.
Did he discover something?
He thought to himself. Of course, he wouldn't think that there was anything wrong with Lu Ping. What he cared about was Ying Xiao's chest. Did the items inside attract Deng Wenjun's attention?
Who would have thought that Deng Wenjun's attention was really only on Lu Ping. After stopping Jiang He from letting them pass, he stared at Lu Ping. Sun Xiao took two steps to the side. Just as he was about to ask about the situation, Deng Wenjun had already extended his hand and pointed to the stone platform at the side.
On the stone platform were all the things that Lu Ping had bought. After Jiang He's inspection, they were all ordinary daily necessities. However, Deng Wenjun's expression was unusually serious. This made Jiang He's heart jump with joy. Deng Wenjun's seriousness meant that there was a big problem. There was a big problem with the things that Lu Ping had bought.
Which was it?
He looked at the stone platform. Everyone was looking. They saw clearly what Deng Wenjun was pointing at. They could all tell that Deng Wenjun was pointing at the pearl on the stone platform. The Illuminating Pearl.
Sun Xiao had already stepped forward and picked up the Illuminating Pearl. With just a glance, he nodded to Deng Wenjun. This Dean of the Imperial Courtyard was the daily guardian of the Alkaid Peak. He had the most contact with people and things that came and went. He was very knowledgeable and had a pair of sharp eyes. After looking at the Illuminating Pearl and confirming with Deng Wenjun, he looked at Lu Ping with a much stricter gaze.
"Conceal Xia." He suddenly spoke.
What?
Too many people were at a loss. They had no idea what Sun Xiao had suddenly said or what it meant. Luckily, Sun Xiao immediately gave an explanation.
"This is the special ability and method of the Dark Academy. On this Illuminating Pearl, there is their mutual identification mark." Sun Xiao said.
Oh … Everyone suddenly understood. The Dark Academy was not the name of an academy. It was the collective name of many academies that had fallen into the evil path and walked the crooked path. In the eyes of the world, the Dark Academy was mysterious and terrifying. It was the head of the Four Great Academies and the orthodox academies on the continent's ranking list. Everyone had the right to punish it.
On this Illuminating Pearl, there was the identification mark of the Dark Academy? In other words, this was the token that they used to verify each other's identity?
Everyone looked at Lu Ping, their expressions changing.
There were too many things that people did not understand about Lu Ping. It was as if they had found the answer in an instant.
Jiang He was even more ecstatic. He had only wanted to cause some trouble for Lu Ping. Who would have thought that this Lu Ping had such a powerful background?
The Dark Academy?
