After Prime Minister Wen finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.
"Wei Yu? Rumor has it that he wants to compete for Fang Yun's position. Is that true? "
"Isn't that Wei Yu? What bad luck! Get away from this person. "
"Competing for the position is nothing, but even Prime Minister Wen said that he has bad intentions. I don't dare to stand within ten meters of such a person. It's too embarrassing if people know!"
"Prime Minister Wen has such a good temper that he has to announce it himself. I'll definitely ignore it in the future!"
The nearby students all retreated and stayed away from Wei Yu as if he was the plague.
Wei Yu's face was green as if it was smeared with bile. Even the young duke and the others beside him could not calm down.
Prime Minister Wen was the soul of a country's literati. It would rather be vacant than to choose an unqualified scholar. In the hearts of Jingguo's scholars, Prime Minister Wen's position was much higher than the king, second only to Half-saint Chen Guanhai.
Lei Yuanting was among them. He snorted and said, "Wei Yu, can't you see that Prime Minister Wen is biased towards Fang Yun?"
The young duke glared at Lei Yuanting. He was so angry that he wanted to punch him. This person was treating Jingguo as the Lei family. How dare he talk about Prime Minister Wen in Jingguo Academy like this? None of the scholars were pushovers. Even if Kang Ha-chuan had a good temper, he was still a saint. There was no doubt about his determination.
Although Kang Ha-chuan was not on good terms with Kang Ha-chuan, the young duke did not dare to say anything against Kang Ha-chuan in the capital. Prime Minister Wen was not only in charge of the country's education and literature department, but also in the capital. He was the head of the three scholars who controlled the power of the Divine Temple.
As long as the three scholars were in the capital, with the help of the Divine Temple, even Half-saint of the demon race would not be able to return.
Wei Yu sighed helplessly. When he was about to speak, he heard a loud explosion in the sky.
"So what!"
The sound carried a strong gust of wind, blowing Wei Yu, Lei Yuanting, and the young duke back.
Lei Yuanting's face turned red and purple. Although he was a member of the Lei family, he was not afraid of Kang Ha-chuan at all. However, her status was not high enough. If she was punished for badmouthing Kang Ha-chuan, the Lei family could only apologize and lose face.
Beside Fang Yun, Qiao Juze laughed and said, "As expected of a great scholar's breadth of mind. The four words' so what? 'are too wonderful! If the Prime Minister of Jingguo did not side with Fang Yun, and instead maintained fairness towards outsiders who harbored evil intentions, then he would not be the Prime Minister of Jingguo! So what if I, Qiao Juze, am biased towards Fang Yun! "
Fang Yun smiled. Whether it was Wu Guo's Nangong Leng or Prime Minister Kang Ha-chuan. No matter what their Divine Path was like, their way of doing things was shockingly similar. They were direct and straightforward. If this were to happen to ordinary people, it could even be said that they were willful in some ways.
However, this kind of willfulness was precisely something that many adults could not do.
Fang Yun vaguely understood that the great scholars were no longer pursuing worldly affairs. They could handle these trivial matters as they pleased. They pursued the Divine Path, and they were only cautious in front of the Divine Path. Everything below the Divine Path was not worth their time.
The Jingguo students present looked at Wei Yu and the others with disdain. They were opposing the great scholars of Jingguo. It was almost equivalent to opposing Jingguo. It was almost treason. Most scholars would not tolerate such people.
Wei Yu turned his head and looked at Fang Yun. His eyes flashed with hatred. Today, the Prime Minister said what he said. Regardless of whether he won or lost, his family would not be able to establish themselves in Beijing or even Jingguo. They could only move out of Jingguo and go to the Lei family.
"It's all your fault! Even if I die in the Lingyan Pavilion today, I will not let you win! Never! "Wei Yu's voice was very low, but also very determined.
A white-robed Jinshi walked over steadily. This person was handsome. At first glance, he looked different from the ordinary students. However, upon closer inspection, one would find that this person had the authority of an official.
Everyone could see that he was walking towards Fang Yun at this time. However, both his steps and his expression were very calm, as if nothing had happened.
This person walked towards Fang Yun and bowed deeply. "I, You Nian, apologize to the Marquis of Wen. Yesterday, I promised to go to the Lingyan Pavilion. I did not know that it was against the Marquis of Wen. I only found out today. However, it is too late to regret. I hope that the Marquis of Wen will forgive me."
"Ignorance is not a crime." Fang Yun's tone did not have the slightest intention of forgiveness, but there was not much disgust either.
Qiao Juze said curiously, "Brother You Nian, even if you promised yesterday, you should have known when you went to the Lingyan Pavilion today."
"However, I have already promised. I cannot go back on my words in front of the Marquis of Wen. I hope that the Marquis of Wen and Brother Qiao can forgive me." You Nian apologized again.
Fang Yun nodded lightly and said, "The Lingyan Pavilion is about to open, right? What is the fastest time for you to pass the first pavilion's archery test? "
Qiao Juze said, "The first time I passed the High Scholar Lingyan Pavilion, I used about a hundred breaths to pass. The last time I passed the High Scholar Lingyan Pavilion before becoming a Grand Scholar, I used thirty breaths to pass and received eight points."
Fang Yun nodded and said, "Brother Qiao was able to obtain eight chips. You are indeed a talent of your generation. The Pavilion of First Pavilion only obtained ten chips."
Chips were a kind of counting tool made from bamboo. They were widely used. Therefore, some terms were derived from them, such as slightly inferior. In the Saint Origin world, the most commonly used method was this kind of bamboo chip. Next was the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
Qiao Juze smiled and said, "Brother Fang, you must be joking. With your ability, I am afraid that you will far surpass me. The Lingyan Pavilion is divided into two. The first three pavilions test the Six Arts of Gentlemen, 'archery, Imperial, and Etiquette'. The next four pavilions test the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Putting the last four pavilions aside, in the first three pavilions, my best result was a total of twenty-three chips. Now, I am afraid that you can obtain at least twenty-one chips, or even twenty-four chips. It is possible for you to surpass me. "
You Nian immediately smiled and said, "With the Marquis of Wen's ability, at most a year later, you can guarantee that you will pass the first three pavilions with ten chips. By then, you will definitely be ranked in the top ten of the Lingyan Pavilion. Your portrait will appear in the Lingyan Pavilion and you will become a person respected by the Ten Nations."
"I have never tried it myself. Everything is hard to say." Fang Yun said humbly.
Qiao Juze nodded and said, "That's true. You are still too young after all. You spend most of your time on studying. Your poems, scriptures, and theories are unparalleled. However, you don't have much time to practice archery. However, you are very courageous. As long as you guide the way, your archery skills will definitely not be lower than six chips. You can easily pass the first pavilion. "
"Thank you for your kind words." Fang Yun said.
Just at this moment, Fang Yun felt the heavens and earth tremble. He immediately looked ahead and saw a tall wooden building shining with golden light appear in front of him. Below the wooden building were white clouds, and starting from the middle of the wooden building, there was smoke lingering above. The name of the Lingyan Pavilion lived up to its name.
Thousands of people walked towards the wooden building together.
Fang Yun walked forward and stepped on the slightly softer clouds as he walked up the stairs. He saw the words' Archery and Hunting 'on the spacious door. Then, he entered the door and the scenery in front of him changed. He actually came to a grassland, and there were two rows of bows and arrows on both sides of him.
There were king bows, curved bows, carving bows, longbows, horn bows, and so on. There was also a dazzling array of arrows, three-pronged arrows, small chisel arrows, crescent arrows, and so on. There were all kinds of bows and arrows in the world.
