"Don't blame Old Man for not reminding you. It's not easy to control a flying boat. You'll need a few days to learn how to control it. Every year, Notre-Dame students from Tongwen will compete in a flying boat race. The prizes are quite generous, "Grand Secretary Fan Wendong said.
Fang Yun nodded, indicating that he understood.
The Notre-Dame families had special privileges. All High Scholars had the opportunity to enter the Notre-Dame. Scholars who were not part of the Notre-Dame families were usually accepted into the Notre-Dame because of their outstanding performance in some aspect. However, not everyone could stay in the Notre-Dame forever.
For example, Ji Zhibai. After enrolling in the Notre-Dame and learning the basics, he realized that he was lacking. He returned to Jingguo and prepared to train for a few more years before returning to the Notre-Dame.
There were also some late bloomers or Grand Secretaries who had the opportunity to enter the Notre-Dame and become Notre-Dame students.
It was night time, so there were not many students in the Chong Wen Courtyard. However, there were still four or five students who passed by on their flying boats. When they saw what was happening, they stopped their flying boats in surprise and joy.
"Fang Xusheng is here!" A scholar in his twenties suddenly shouted.
"What? Where is he? "
"At the entrance!"
"You are not allowed to speak in the Chong Wen Courtyard! Keep your mouth sealed for seven days. If there's a next time, you'll be banned from speaking for a year! " A cold voice sounded. Then, the scholar's face turned bitter. He tried to open his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
Fang Yun could not help but laugh. He did not expect the Notre-Dame to be banned from speaking. It was good to have the authority.
The Grand Secretary saw Fang Yun laugh. He was older than Fang Yun, but he scratched his head embarrassedly.
Fang Yun ignored the others and took a deep breath. With a thought, the flying boat slowly floated up. When it was a foot above the ground, it stopped rising and stopped in midair.
"Eh?"
The Grand Secretary was not the only one who was surprised. Even the students from the Punishment Hall were confused.
Someone said in a low voice, "No matter how outstanding a genius is, the first time he uses a flying boat, he would be shaken, but he didn't move at all."
"Could it be that Fang Xusheng entered Chong Wen Courtyard?"
"A few days ago, someone said that Fang Xusheng had never entered Chong Wen Yard and would only enter after the graduation. Look, Grand Secretary Fan of the Punishment Hall is accompanying him. This must be his first time using a flying boat. "
"Fang Xusheng's literary courage is indeed strong. He will definitely be the champion of the Hanlin Flying Boat Race. "
"Not necessarily. His flying boat is only stable. His spiritual sense may not be comparable to other Hanlin Academy cultivators. Talent is even harder to say. "
"That's true."
Fan Wendong said with a smile, "It seems that Old Man has underestimated Fang Xusheng. In the beginning, the most difficult thing to do with a flying boat is to stabilize it. Fang Xusheng, you can do it so easily. You must be able to control the flying boat easily. "
Fang Yun immersed himself in the flying boat and controlled it to move forward slowly.
"Turn right after a hundred feet. I'll lead the way." Fan Wendong finished speaking. He casually drew a line in front of him. Talent energy surged out and formed a slightly bright line to guide Fang Yun.
Fang Yun nodded. After a hundred feet, he slowly turned. Although the flying boat looked cumbersome when it turned, it was very stable and did not tremble at all.
"Fang Xusheng's literary courage is well-deserved."
In the distance, flying boats tore through the air. Some of them even reached the speed of a hum. The momentum was terrifying.
"Brother Fang!"
Then, the voice sounded again. "Student Li Longxiao, your flying boat is exceeding the speed limit. You are prohibited from using Notre-Dame's holy grounds for 15 days. 100 points of literary ink deducted!"
Li Longxiao muttered softly, "100 points of literary ink? That's too much! "
Fang Yun stopped the dragon boat and said with a smile, "Brother Li, long time no see."
"Not too long, less than a year. You … you should familiarize yourself with the flying boat first. Don't worry about me, "Li Longxiao said.
Fang Yun nodded and continued to control the flying boat.
More and more people came. However, because of Li Longxiao's experience, they slowly flew over and gathered together to discuss in low voices.
Fang Yun had long been used to this kind of scene and treated others as if they were nothing. Only when acquaintances came would he return the greeting.
Fang Yun's learning speed was very fast, which made many Notre-Dame students praise him. In just 15 minutes, Fang Yun had grasped the skills that others would take a day to master.
Slowly, more and more Notre-Dame students followed Fang Yun. Fan Wendong said in a deep voice, "Fang Xusheng will compete for the position of national leader tomorrow. After that, he will have important things to do and will need a lot of time to prepare. In three days, if there is nothing important, don't look for Fang Xusheng to chat or reminisce. Disperse. "
Some people had already received news that Fang Yun was going to the Bloodmang Ancient Ground. They looked worried and advised their classmates to leave.
It didn't take long for all the scholars to disperse.
The flying boat moved forward and soon arrived at the entrance of a garden.
There were two stone lions squatting at the entrance of the garden and four tall soldiers holding spears guarding the entrance. Inside the gate, more than forty women were standing in two rows on both sides of the road. There were petite and charming girls, heroic girls, gentle and kind girls, and so on.
Fan Wendong said, "Kong Shengwen Domain is very big. The land allocated to Chong Wen Courtyard is equivalent to a county. The upper residence has ten small gardens. After all, not many people live here, so it is not big. As for the lower residence, it is also a private residence. The maids inside are all new and are all people of the literary world. They are all well-educated and well-versed in the four arts. If they were men, they would at least be scholars. Besides being infertile, these women are no different from us humans in the literary world. "
At the end, Fan Wendong looked at Fang Yun with a smile.
As a man, Fang Yun naturally knew what was hidden in Fan Wendong's smile, but he did not have the time and energy to flirt with women. He only said, "Well, since they are people of the literary world, it is more reassuring to use them."
Fan Wendong and Fang Yun got off the boat and entered the garden. They personally named the garden Fang Residence. After that, Fang Yun chatted with the maids of the literary world for a while. After knowing their names and identities, he asked them to leave and had a long talk with Fan Wendong to understand everything about the Notre-Dame.
They chatted until dawn before Fan Wendong left.
The second person, Fang Yun, woke up and slowly dealt with the accumulated letters.
After finishing the meal delivered by the maid, Fang Yun used Shuidiao Getou to chat with Yang Yuhuan, Nuu, and the others to relax, because the competition for the country's first position was in the afternoon!
The competition would be held in the Kong Shengwen Domain. At that time, there would be people on flying boats to receive the top scorers.
Not long after, the Azure Robes Dragon King, Ao Qingyue, arrived. The two of them talked about many things related to the Bloodlight Ancient Land. Ao Qingyue even brought some books with him, allowing Fang Yun to understand the Bloodlight Ancient Land better. Before leaving, Ao Qingyue gave a Dragon King's Dragon Pearl to Fang Yun.
After lunch, there was a sudden commotion outside the garden. Then, the maids came in to report that some scholars were asking for an audience.
Fang Yun heard the loud voice of Wu Guo's top scorer, Sun Naiyong, from afar.
"Fang Yun, don't sleep. Let's go to the competition together!"
Fang Yun smiled and walked out.
Stepping out of the door, Fang Yun saw more than a dozen boats parked outside. There were many top scorers. Most of them drove their own boats. Some of the top scorers entered Chong Wen Courtyard for the first time and were driven by others.
"Good afternoon, everyone!" Fang Yun cupped his hands and said.
"Good afternoon, Fang Xusheng!" Everyone returned the salute.
"Let's go. Let's talk as we walk." Fang Yun smiled.
Fang Yun stepped onto his own Kuafu Chasing Sun Boat and slowly moved forward with the others.
Dai Cheng of Two Boundaries Mountain coughed softly and said, "Although we have benefited from Fang Xusheng in the Sea of Learning, but … the competition is very important. I don't know what others think, but I will do my best."
