Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1122 Wind and Rain
"This is impossible! There must be something wrong with this result!"

Immediately after Xu Bingqing threw the piano, Beihan Pavilion disciples surrounded her, covering everything tightly, and Xu Bingqing's figure was immediately invisible to those around her.

"Holy lady, Master is waiting for you in the pavilion halfway up the mountain. Now that the result has been released, you should go!" There were older disciples around who urged.

"I won't go! Why! I want to see the Soochow Master!" Xu Bingqing raised his hand and was about to slap the disciple, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"I heard that the saint has something to do with me?"

Standing in front of Xu Bingqing, Meng Shi held her wrist and spoke softly.

"You still dare to ask me?" Xu Bingqing raised his head and stared at her fiercely, "Say, what did you do? Why are you number 7 and I'm number 11?"

Mo Hua followed behind Meng Shi, and frowned upon hearing this.

The votes for the top few were not far behind, but Xu Bingqing called Meng Shi to his side to reprimand him. He was obviously bullying that Meng Shi was from the Northern Wei Dynasty and had no family backing him.

However, Meng Shi only said lightly when he heard the words.

"The number of votes is counted by the examiner. If the saint has any dissatisfaction, she can ask the examiner to check the votes. What's the use of asking me?"

"Shut up! Whether it's you or that former Qin woman, it's impossible for you to get such high grades. You must have done something wrong!"

Meng Shi's eyes became cold.

"The former Princess Qin deserves her top spot. If you question her, it will only prove that you are not good at judging good from bad."

"You..." Xu Bingqing looked at Meng Shi who was talking back to her in astonishment, and suddenly wanted to raise his hand to slap him, but forgot that her hand was still in Meng Shi's.

But instead of feeling humiliated by her anger, Meng Shi seemed to discuss it with her with great interest.

"By the way, why did the saint ask me what I did? Does the saint know how to do it?"

Xu Bingqing was taken aback for a moment, and a gentle voice came from behind him.

"Sister-in-law."

Tuoba Xun sat in a wheelchair and picked up the pieces of the guqin on the ground one by one. He Lancheng's eyes showed a touch of regret at this scene.

While picking up the pieces, Tuoba Xun said to Xu Bingqing without looking up.

"Master just sent a voice transmission, saying that if you don't go to him again, and you continue to talk to your stepson, he will write a letter to Master tomorrow and ask someone to send you back."

Only the existence of the Northern Wei State Teacher can calm Xu Bingqing, Xu Bingqing, who was in a rage, was stunned when he heard this.

"You lie! How could father blame me for this pariah!"

"Whether what I said is true, you will know when you go to see the master," Tuoba Xun said lightly, "Don't forget, only I can hear the master's sound transmission."

"You should be very clear about what will happen if you really pissed off Master."

Xu Bingqing's face was blue and white, and the next moment she let go of Meng Shi's hand, stomped her feet and ran down the mountain.

"Saint!"

Many young disciples chased after her, and the area under the tree where everyone in Beihan Pavilion was standing was immediately emptied.

"Thank you," Meng Shi apologized to Tuoba Xun with a complicated expression.

"You're welcome, I just conveyed what Master said." Tuoba Xun said calmly, "You should know what is keeping you. If you had accepted the previous proposal, what happened today would not have happened."

Meng Shi's eyes flickered, and he shook his head, "I already have a master, and I will never change my master."

Tuoba Xun paused the hand that was picking up the pieces of the guqin, then continued to pick them up as if nothing had happened, and spoke lightly.

"Then you get the leader."

"As long as you are still a useful practitioner of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the National Teacher will not do anything to you."

Meng Shi stared at him, "I didn't come to the Intermediate Ceremony for this reason."

But after she finished speaking, she turned around quietly and spoke softly.

"I'll win, though."

……

……

"Senior brother, just now..." Seeing Meng Shi's leaving back, He Lancheng frowned and said.

"I did just convey what Master said just now." Tuoba Xun put all the pieces of the zither into a bag, "Master's attitude has always been like this, but you didn't see it."

"See what?" He Lancheng was taken aback for a moment, then he raised his head suddenly, "You mean, Master wants to support Meng Shi!?"

"Otherwise?" Tuoba Xun stroked the strings on his lap, and said lightly, "Meng Shi's scores have already surpassed the two of us."

"Total score..." He Lancheng swallowed hard, and quickly calculated in his mind.

The final ranking is calculated based on the total score of the Intermediate Ceremony, not only according to the ranking, but also according to the specific points of each round to avoid unfair situations caused by the difference in the scores of each player.

The overall calculation method is relatively complicated, and the proportion of scores and rankings in each round is different. He Lancheng didn't calculate it carefully at first, because the examiners will calculate and announce in advance before the start of the last round.

The last round is the beginning of the final sprint.

"You don't need to forget, I have already calculated everything," Tuoba Xun added, and He Lancheng realized that he had spoken his heart out.

"I remember, brother, you have a special calculation method." He Lancheng was not too surprised when he heard that, only few people knew that Tuoba Xun had been taught by an expert when he was young, and he was very good at mathematics. "That algorithm is called What's going on..."

"Weighted calculation." Tuoba Xun said indifferently, "The total scores of the top few calculated now are very close."

He Lancheng opened his eyes wide.

Very close means that it is the final result, and there is still suspense.

One must know that according to the rules of the Intermediate Ceremony, the first three rounds accounted for [-]% of the total score, while the final round's results accounted for [-]% of the total.

The final round of the Intermediate Ceremony, duel.

The most important ability for practitioners is always fighting with real swords.

If it weren't for the huge gap with No.2 in the first three rounds, the score may still be reversed after the final round.

What the first three rounds gave was nothing more than the qualification to compete for the leader in the end.

"Meng Shi's total score has entered the top ten, and he has already obtained the qualification to compete for the leader," Tuoba Xun said in a deep voice, "and he ranks the highest among the practitioners of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

He Lancheng opened his eyes wide, "How could this happen?"

It is obvious to all that the former Qin Princess and Chunhuajun Zhaohuajun performed brilliantly in the first three rounds, but Meng Shi didn't seem to be that bright except for winning Chunhuajun in the wrestling battle.

"His grades have always been very stable," Tuoba Xun narrowed his eyes, "There is no round that lags behind."

And because of his poor performance in the first round of the water battle, he held back the other rounds and did not enter the first echelon in the end.

After all, he is still the Yakui of the elementary ceremony, so it can be seen that the difficulty of the intermediate ceremony is much higher than that of the elementary ceremony.

"That's why Master..." He Lancheng looked in the direction Xu Bingqing left, hesitating to speak.

"That's right," Tuoba Xun said quietly, "Meng Shi is now the Northern Wei practitioner who has the most hope of becoming the leader. It is impossible for Master to let his junior sister blame him at this time."

Their master has never done anything that loses money.

If Meng Shi can really get the leader, it can be regarded as saving face for the Northern Wei Guoshi who personally led the team to Soochow. a means to accomplish this.

Then the leader is Beihan Pavilion, everyone is happy.

"But Meng Shi...can he really become the leader?" He Lancheng frowned.

"It depends on the competition between those in the first echelon." Tuoba Xun looked at Ji Jiashu and the others gathered under another tree talking and laughing, and his gaze paused for a moment on the smiling girl holding a kite. He touched the buzzing scabbard at his waist.

"The Six Arts Battle is over."

This long ceremony has also come to an end.

"The last round of wind and rain is about to begin."
