Walking into the library, the first thing that entered their eyes were rows of bookshelves. Regardless of whether it was the bookshelves or the floor, they were all clean and tidy. One could even say that there was not a speck of dust.
"This is an important place in the academy. Without the permission of a teacher, an ordinary student is not allowed to enter the library. The books on the bookshelves record all kinds of information about the Dou Qi continent …"
Ruo Lin walked in front, introducing the books as she walked. Finally, she led the two of them up the stairs to a wooden door on the second floor. Gently knocking on the wooden door, a steady voice was transmitted from within.
"Come in."
Turning around, Ruo Lin said: "You can go in. I have other things to deal with. Later, I will arrange your accommodations. As for the other matters, I will leave them to Teacher Huo De."
Mu Qingxiao nodded slightly and said: "Thank you very much."
Ruo Lin smiled, turned around and walked out of the library.
After Teacher Ruo Lin left, Mu Qingxiao pushed open the wooden door and stepped into a spacious and bright room. The bookshelves were filled with various kinds of ancient books, appearing to have an exceptionally scholarly atmosphere.
At this moment, in front of a desk by the window, a white-haired old man was slowly flipping through the information in his hand. The entire room was filled with a kind of quiet atmosphere.
The old man appeared ordinary but his body hid an extremely frightening aura. Mu Qingxiao could tell at a glance that the latter's cultivation was at the peak of the Dou Huang class.
In the entire Outer Academy, the only one who possessed the strength of a peak Dou Huang was the Deputy Headmaster of the Outer Academy, Hu Gan.
The quiet atmosphere continued for over ten minutes before Hu Gan randomly threw the information on the table. His sharp gaze swept over Mu Qingxiao and the Little Doctor.
"I have seen your information. Your talent is not bad. Yes, it is the same as in the information. Eight star Dou Shi, seven star Dou Shi. Welcome to Jia Nan Academy."
As he spoke, he could not help but take another look at Mu Qingxiao. He kept feeling that the young man in front of him was a little strange but he could not pinpoint what was strange about him.
After being surprised, Hu Gan's tone was indifferent as he said: "The academy's recruitment requirements may be simple but after entering, you still need to pass the Qualifying Competition. If you are unable to pass the Qualifying Competition, you are destined to have no fate with the academy. Whether you leave or stay will also need to be decided through the Qualifying Competition."
His meaning was very clear. He was telling the two of them that if they didn't have the talent, then the academy wouldn't keep them. If they had enough talent, then the academy would give them a corresponding stage to display their talents.
"However, the qualifiers are only held once a year. This year's qualifiers ended half a month ago."
Hu Gan had just finished speaking when he vaguely glanced at the expressions of the two of them. When he saw that their expressions were the same as usual, there was some surprise in his eyes. At the same time, he nodded his head in an undetectable manner.
"However, your aptitudes have reached the standards of the inner courtyard, so the academy has decided to make an exception and allow you to continue participating in the selection competition."
Mu Qingxiao nodded slightly. How could they hide their actions from him? However, he also knew that this was a test of their temperament. Obviously, they had passed.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door once again. An indifferent tone spat out from Hu Gan's mouth, "Come in."
The door opened, and six students wearing the academy's uniform walked in one after another. When they saw that there were already students who had arrived, their gazes were slightly stunned.
The corners of Mu Qingxiao's mouth curled into an indescribable smile. Because, among the six students, there was one who was an old acquaintance.
The girl walking at the very front had a country-toppling appearance. She was elegant and noble, and her temperament was cold and indifferent. She was like a lotus that had just bloomed. Her figure was graceful and moving, so much so that the gazes of the men walking behind her were all fixed on her body.
The girl was none other than Gu Xun Er from the Xiao family in Wu Tan City.
The moment Gu Xun Er saw Mu Qingxiao, her pupils violently contracted. Her footsteps immediately stopped, and she didn't take another step forward. This caused the five male students behind her to almost bump into each other.
The Little Doctor naturally also saw Gu Xun Er. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but flash with a trace of surprise. When she noticed that her gaze had landed on Mu Qingxiao, her beautiful eyes flickered.
Turning around, Mu Qingxiao smiled slightly and said, "Miss Xun Er, I trust you have been well since we last met."
Seeing him reveal a trace of a smile, Gu Xun Er's expression didn't change. However, a trace of caution rose in her heart. Back then, Old Ling had said that this person was extremely dangerous and could possibly be one of the eight clans.
However, what caused her to be puzzled was that at this moment, standing in front of Mu Qingxiao, she didn't feel that kind of extreme pressure from back then. Only the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame in her body emitted a trace of lingering fear.
Of course, she didn't know that Mu Qingxiao had perfectly controlled his Qi in order to avoid exposing his strength, completely suppressing it to the Dou Shi level.
As for the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame, it could sense the Nine Heavenly Glazed Flame in Mu Qingxiao's body and instinctively felt a trace of fear.
"You … why are you here?"
"Hmm? Why can't I be here? "
Gu Xun Er was speechless. She simply turned her head and ignored him. She didn't want to have any contact with him.
Hu Gan also saw that the two of them appeared to be looking at each other. However, he didn't mind. After which, his gaze landed on the remaining five men.
"First, congratulations to all of you for passing the Inner Academy's examination. Let me remind all of you here that the Inner Academy is different from the Outer Academy. In it, strength is respected. Whoever's fist is bigger will be able to obtain the best training conditions. In that place, any background you have is useless."
"Since you have already come, I shall not be long-winded. All of you should also know the reason why I called all of you over."
As he spoke, Hu Gan looked at Gu Xun Er and said, "Xun Er, do you really not plan to enter the Inner Academy?"
Hearing this, Gu Xun Er's eyes were filled with determination as she said, "Thank you Deputy Headmaster Grandpa. Xun Er is certain."
Hu Gan nodded slightly. A trace of pity flashed across his eyes. He ceased being long-winded and walked to the wall behind him. His hand randomly slapped a few times and a low, deep roaring sound appeared.
Soon after, a pitch-black tunnel appeared in front of everyone.
"All of you, follow me."
After waving his hand at everyone in the room, Hu Gan took the lead and walked into the dark tunnel. Mu Qingxiao followed closely behind. The Little Doctor retracted his gaze from Gu Xun Er and also quickly followed.
Seeing the two of them enter, Gu Xun Er also stepped into the tunnel. The five men behind her also followed with curious expressions.
After walking into the tunnel and turning around the corner, the narrow tunnel became spacious. On both sides of the walls, there were large luminous pearls inlaid, illuminating the tunnel extremely brightly.
Inside the tunnel, the atmosphere was quiet. Only the sound of soft footsteps could be heard. The Little Doctor followed behind Mu Qingxiao. Her slender, jade-like hand pulled on his sleeve, not leaving his side for even an inch.
The tunnel was very long, as if there was no end. Mu Qingxiao's expression was normal as she quietly followed behind Hu Gan. The Little Doctor was also the same. Gu Xun Er, on the other hand, was thinking about something.
As for the five male students walking at the back, they all felt extremely bored. Only the graceful figures of the Little Doctor and Gu Xun Er walking in front could make them feel a little better.
