When Wu Jiong spoke, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were only one year apart in age, were speechless.
Especially when they met Wu Jiong's gaze.
It was as if he was looking at two naughty younger brothers.
This caused the two of them to feel ashamed and angry, but they were unable to say anything.
Wu Jiong seemed to ponder for a while.
She said softly, "Teacher, in my opinion, there are only two possibilities for the frequent occurrence of malicious ghosts. One is a place with dense Yin Qi, but this is due to geography. If this is the case, then there is no need for us to investigate. Then there is only the resentment of the people. And this resentment of the people has many situations. If it is not someone who is evil, then it should be the people who are arguing with each other for benefits. Therefore, I guess that this matter is caused by benefits."
After these words, many students were silent.
Wu Jiong's words did not guess the more detailed reasons, but it gave a broad answer that could not be wrong.
It was even the best answer that could be given under the known conditions. If one wanted to be more detailed, then one could list many detailed situations around "competing for benefits".
These situations could only be guessed. There was definitely a possibility of error.
The teacher stroked his beard, his face full of gratification.
"I have heard that Princess Ming has a beauty that can cause the downfall of countries and cities, and also has the talent to become a minister. She is protected by the Immortal Monarch, a rare sight. She really lives up to her reputation."
"Teacher, you praise me too much. Many of my brothers have already gotten this answer, but I am letting you." Wu Jiong smiled reservedly. Her faint smile was like a spring breeze, causing many of the youths around to breathe heavily.
Although she was only thirteen years old, she had already revealed some of her charm.
However, what surprised Shen Yi was her steadiness.
Back then, he had left power on Wu Jiong's wooden tablet purely out of convenience. But now that he thought about it, for Wu Jiong, this was a gift unique to the Immortal Monarch. It meant attention from all directions, and that would be a huge pressure.
In addition to her growing beauty.
Coveting, scheming, flattery, and so on would surround her entire growth.
In such an environment, if there was no Clove involved, the probability of growing up crooked or having a twisted mind was greater.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi could not help but look at Clove.
"Captain?" Clove noticed Shen Yi's gaze.
"Well done," Shen Yi said softly.
It was his fault for putting Wu Jiong under such pressure. If not for Clove's help, he might have seen a "crooked" Wu Jiong and felt a little guilty.
Clove didn't say anything, but his expression clearly showed some joy.
At this very moment.
Wu Jiong's self-modesty not only won the students' favor, but also won the teacher's praise.
Following that, many other students also stood out. Most of them were speculating about the various possibilities surrounding "Li".
Finally, it was time to enter the village.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this assessment will be carried out in groups. There will be group scores and individual scores. The content of the assessment is not only about the investigation itself, but also about thinking, talking, etiquette …" The Headmaster explained the rules, and Shen Yi listened with great interest.
In truth, he had not paid much attention to the development of the Great Tang in recent years. After all, Clove was in charge.
But now, it seemed that the current Great Tang was at least perfect in terms of education.
It was not just a cramming education. Instead, it focused on various aspects.
With good control of education, countless talents would be born. And these talents would be an important driving force for the development of civilization.
At this moment, when it came to grouping, a bunch of people immediately looked at Wu Jiong.
And in the end, she had chosen Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Lizhi, three members of the royal family.
This was the only choice.
Given her popularity, if she had chosen anyone else over the three members of the royal family, the chosen person would have been resented by jealousy.
Speaking of which, Shen Yi noticed that the gazes of all the surrounding students, regardless of whether they were male or female, were filled with adoration, admiration, admiration, admiration, and fanaticism when they looked at her. However, there was no resentment, jealousy, or any other negative emotions.
"It's not easy." Shen Yi could not help but sigh.
One must know that these students included members of the royal family, ministers, aristocratic families, humble families … There were all kinds of conflicts of interest. It was just like a small imperial court.
To be able to subdue the masses with just one person.
This was not something that could be accomplished with status and ability. It was enough to be called "smooth and slick in all situations." Moreover, she was only thirteen years old. This was truly rare.
Shen Yi could not help but glance at Clove again.
How had she been taught?
Clove did not say anything, only faintly smiling. But not only did she seem to be even more delighted, she also seemed to be faintly proud.
Shen Yi decided not to ask. At this moment, he wanted to see if this Wu Jiong could give him any more surprises.
At this moment.
After splitting into groups, Wu Jiong's group of four entered the village together.
Logically speaking, Crown Prince Li Chengqian was the most respected of the four. However, Wu Jiong held Li Lizhi's hand and walked at the very front. Li Chengqian and Li Tai glanced at each other. The two brothers had helpless expressions on their faces, but they obediently followed behind.
"Sister Jiong." Princess Changle seemed to be somewhat afraid of this village. "Where should we begin our investigation?"
"Naturally, we should first find someone to ask." Wu Jiong looked at Li Lizhi, seeming to see through her fear. Her brows carried some helplessness, but there was also some pity. Softly, she said, "You do not need to be afraid. Even if you do not trust those Ghost Tamers who are secretly protecting you, you should trust me. Even if you do not trust me, you should trust the treasure at my waist."
Li Lizhi glanced at the wooden tablet at Wu Jiong's waist, carefully wrapped in a cloth pouch. While feeling somewhat relieved, she also felt somewhat envious.
Everyone knew that this wooden tablet was Wu Jiong's most precious treasure, as well as her reverse scale.
No one was allowed to touch it.
Once, a disciple of an aristocratic family had wanted to borrow it to take a look. Just by forcefully touching it, he caused the usually gentle Wu Jiong to fly into a rage. No one knew what methods she used, but that disciple was not only expelled from the academy, but his reputation also fell to the ground, unable to recover from the setback. No matter who pleaded for him, it was useless. Within two years, he died of depression, causing his family to pay a considerable price.
At this moment.
Wu Jiong seemed to have found her target. Seeing an old farmer who was about forty to fifty years old resting in the fields, she did not discuss with the others, directly walking towards him.
That old farmer had long since seen these young masters and young misses dressed in embroidered clothing. Seeing them walk over, he promptly knelt on the ground.
"This, this commoner greets the young masters and young misses."
As early as a few days ago, a large number of officials had entered the village, indicating that students from the Immortal Bestow Academy would be coming to investigate today.
They were required to do their own things, but were not to offend the nobles.
These were the students of the Immortal Bestow Academy!
In the hearts of these farmers, the Immortal Bestow Academy was an academy bestowed by an Immortal. Each and every one of its students was a descendant of an Immortal, possessing unimaginable nobility!
