Getting used to it is a very scary thing.
Just when everyone was used to Li Muyang being the last in the whole school, suddenly someone jumped out and said that Li Muyang was not the last in the exam, but the first in the top of the class. Not first in the school, but first in West Wind, first in the kingdom. This really subverts people's perception, making it difficult for people to accept it.
Li Shinian finally managed to convince his parents, making them believe that their precious son did something amazing.
"Muyang — –" Luo Chi's eyes were moist, she tightly grasped Li Muyang's arm and said in a choked voice: "You really came first in the kingdom, you can go to Westwind University — – you can finally go to Westwind University. We don't have to beg others, my son did it — – "
"Mum, I can't go to Westwind University." Li Muyang said with a wry smile.
"Can't go? Why can't you go? The first in the exams can't go to West Wind — – what kind of students does West Wind recruit every year? Shady business, they must be manipulating things behind the scenes, I've seen too many things like this — – No, I have to go to Tiandu, I have to reason with them. "Luo Chi's emotions were extremely agitated. It's fine if her son did not do well in the exams, but if he did well he still can't go to West Wind, that's going too far. Although she doesn't like or even hate the Lu Family, but even if she had to go back to the Lu Family and kneel down to them, she would still help her son vent his anger.
"I don't know what happened." Li Muyang's expression was solemn, like he was in deep thought: "Logically speaking, since I came first in the exams, I should be able to enter Westwind University. But this time Westwind University did not accept me, my name is not even on the list of heroes posted by the school — – I feel there are many mysteries, I can only slowly find the answer later. "
"What should we do? Even the number one student in the Empire wasn't accepted by a university. Is there any room for argument? "Li Yan was a simple and honest person, and he was furious when he heard this.
"Dad, mum, wait for me to finish — –" Li Shinian stamped his feet and said. "Who said that big brother didn't get accepted by any school? Big Brother was admitted to Starry Sky Academy, a very amazing school. "
"Starry Sky Academy? What kind of school is that? "Luo Chi was confused. She looked at Li Yan and asked," Have you heard of it? "
"No." Li Yan shook his head. "Could it be a scam school?"
"Of course not." Li Shinian said with a look of certainty. "Do you know how they deliver the good news? They found a fairy-like youngster to come riding a crane, and he doesn't even put Westwind University in his eyes. Brother coming first in the imperial exams was also said by him — — The principal checked the rankings of the entire kingdom and said there's no problem. He even specially invited my brother to his office to inscribe the words, saying that he wants to engrave it on the school motto stone at the school gate. "
"So powerful?" Li Yan's face was filled with astonishment. "I remember, today we also heard the cry of a crane at home, at that time your mum was in a bad mood and scolded a few times, saying whose damn bird was crying so loudly — –"
"Li Yan, can't you just say a few words less?" Luo Chi glared at her husband and said snappily. "Our son was admitted to Starry Sky Academy, this is a great joyous occasion. Hurry to the butcher Lu at the end of the street and order a fresh pork, then go to the braised meat shop in the East of the city and buy all the cooked food in their shop. Also fish and eggs, buy as much as you can, and also buy as much as you can, I'm going to have a big banquet today — – "
"Big banquet? Who are you inviting? "Li Yan had a blank look on his face.
"We're neighbors, of course." Luo Chi said with a smile on her face: "Before Muyang received a lot of 'care' and 'encouragement' from them, now that my son is first in the kingdom, shouldn't we invite them over to celebrate?"
"— —" Seeing his wife's bright smile, Li Yan only felt a chill running down his spine.
When did the neighbours ever care and encourage their family Muyang? They said a lot of unpleasant things.
They said things like 'three years old, this child will grow up to be an idiot', 'raising such an idiot child, I don't know how many evil things he did in his past life', 'if I had such a son, I would've pushed him into a pond and drowned him, once and for all, everyone would be in peace' — – Inviting them to a banquet at this time, it's clear they're inviting them over to slap their faces in public.
"Why don't we just forget about this matter?" Li Yan said comfortingly.
"Forget about it?" Luo Chi gritted her teeth and said in a cold voice: "Anything can be forgotten, but this matter cannot be forgotten. How they treated our family Muyang, this time I will make them pay back one by one — – Li Yan, I'm warning you, you don't have to help me, but don't stop me. Maybe I'm not done with you. "
“----”
Li Yan looked at Li Shinian with pleading eyes, Li Shinian hurriedly ran towards the inner room and said: "I almost forgot, I still have to review my homework."
Li Yan then looked at Li Muyang, Li Muyang also hurriedly ran away and said: "I also have to review my homework — – I feel I didn't do well in the exam — –"

City Lord's mansion.
Yan Bolai was meeting with his subordinates, a young clerk stood straight in front of him, seriously and cautiously reporting the recent events that happened in Jiangnan city. At this moment, the pot of cherry tomatoes on the table suddenly swayed gently, like it was teased by the autumn wind.
The clerk's line of sight was slightly attracted, but the content of his report did not stop in the slightest.
Yan Bolai acted as if he did not hear anything, until he finished listening to the clerk's report, he praised the young clerk for his outstanding ability and said that he could take on more important responsibilities in the future. When the young clerk was so emotional that he wanted to swear on the spot that he would work hard for the lord of the city, he calmly pointed out several important tasks that needed to be dealt with immediately and assigned them to the corresponding departments.
The clerk promptly recorded it down, and waited until the lord of the city had no other instructions before he left the room with the folder.
Yan Bolai glanced at the pot of cherry tomatoes, walked over and gently dug the eyes of the animal head pen holder.
Hua — –
The mural separated to two sides, a dark and serene door leading to hell appeared in the middle of the wall.
A man dressed in a black robe stood at the small door, bowed, and then walked to the front of Yan Bolai's office and said: "The heroes list has been posted, I asked someone to make a copy and bring it back."
As he spoke, the man in a black robe pulled out a silk cloth from his bosom and placed it on the wide mahogany table.
Yan Bolai did not have any intention of checking the list, he turned around to look at the blue lotus flowers outside to rest and ask in a calm voice: "Xiaoxin is going to West Wind University, right?"
"Yes." The man in a black robe immediately replied. "Miss Xiaoxin has been admitted to Westwind University."
Yan Bolai was not surprised by this, he said in a flat voice: "That's right. If there's nothing else, you can leave. I have a meeting later. "
The man in a black robe did not leave, he looked up at Yan Bolai's not tall but extremely sturdy back and said: "When the list was posted, something happened — –"
"I don't like to guess riddles, say what you want to say at once."
"Li Muyang was admitted to Starry Sky Academy." The man in a black robe said in a low voice. "The man riding the crane personally delivered the good news."
"Starry Sky Academy?" Yan Bolai suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with a red light, as if two suns were burning. "Li Muyang was admitted to Starry Sky Academy? Back then Xiangma was rejected by Starry Sky Academy, he — – why? "
