Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

"This, it wasn't like this before."

In front of Rongcheng Academy, a thin middle-aged man in a green robe looked at the green vines on the wall with a puzzled look on his face, pretending to sigh.

Beside him was a young man in white clothes with broad shoulders. Hearing this, he said impatiently: "The academy's protective formation has to be changed every two or three years. Of course, it wasn't like this before."

The middle-aged man seemed not to feel the impatience of the people around him, and sighed: "It changes every two or three years. It's worthy of Rongcheng Academy! It has changed so much in a few years. Alas, if there hadn't been a villain, I should have become a student of the academy, but unfortunately..."

The young man in white interrupted unceremoniously: "Shi Xiusheng, are you going in or not?"

The middle-aged man named Shi Xiusheng quickly restrained the emotion and regret on his face, Subconsciously shrugged and lowered his head: "Of course, of course... This, this Bai Junior Brother, please lead the way."

"Who is your junior brother?!" Bai Jinxian looked disgusted, "How many times have I read your story of being just one step away from the entrance along the way? But if you get in, you get in, and if you don't, you don't get in. The academy recruits quite a few students every year. As long as you are talented enough, you can always get in! As for people like you who can't get in, but still claim to be just one step away from the entrance, there are more than ten times more than the number of students admitted! Wake up, no one in this academy will treat you as a senior brother, don't try to curry favor with them!"

Shi Xiusheng was choked and his face turned pale, but he could only bow his hands carefully to apologize.

"I made a mistake, I made a mistake..."

"Shut up, follow me." Bai Jinxian said, and took out a unique jade token from his waist, shook it in front of the academy door, and then walked into the academy.

Shi Xiusheng hurriedly followed behind in small steps.

When he walked through the main gate and finally stepped onto the land of the academy, he couldn't help but sigh again.

Back then, it was really just a little bit away...

——

Bai Jinxian, as one of the black and white duo, Yu Xiaobo's most loyal lackeys, was actually quite arrogant most of the time.

Because even in Rongcheng Academy, where many talented people gathered, his background and cultivation were above the average, and he was an absolute elite. Working for Yu Xiaobo with his good friend He Xiaojun who loved black leather clothes was not because he was weak-willed and liked to lick others.

On the contrary, he was loyal to the superior because he had a strong enough class consciousness - a class consciousness that he believed that although he was not as good as a very few people, he was still better than the vast majority of people.

Bai Jinxian knew very well that Yu Xiaobo was different from ordinary students, and he knew even more that the so-called teaching without distinction was a fantasy that could only stay in the classroom and books. And outside the textbooks, there was reality everywhere.

So while running around for Yu Xiaobo, Bai Jinxian hated those lowly people who didn't know the hierarchy and didn't know how to advance or retreat. For example, Zhao Xiuwen, and Shi Xiusheng. There was no lack of criticism for the task assigned to him by Yu Xiaobo, which was to welcome Shi Xiusheng into the academy from the hands of the Bolanzhuang secret guards.

This middle-aged man in a green robe still smelled sour! Are there any rules to treat such a person as a distinguished guest, and are there still hierarchy? !

But Yu Shao's order was naturally not allowed to be violated. Bai Jinxian could only pinch his nose and lead this person all the way to Biexiang Xiaozhu - that was Yu Xiaobo's residence for some time. It was said that he had fought against a strong enemy there and won back a city, so he regarded it as his blessed land.

Along the way, Shi Xiusheng was honest and didn't make any more noises. When he approached Biexiang Xiaozhu, he was even more trembling, afraid of taking every step wrong.

Bai Jinxian couldn't help but laugh. This guy knew how to advance and retreat. If he could follow such rules in the casino, he wouldn't have fallen so miserably.

With a hint of sarcasm, Bai Jinxian led the people into the cottage. Yu Xiaobo was already waiting in the lobby. Seeing the two of them, he showed his usual elegant smile.

"Brother Bai, I prepared some refreshments for you on the second floor."

Bai Jinxian naturally knew that this meant he wanted to avoid it, so he quickly thanked him and went to the second floor.

Yu Xiaobo then looked at Shi Xiusheng, still with an elegant smile on his face, but when he spoke, Shi Xiusheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

"Come here and stand still. I'll tell you. Listen. You can't speak without my permission."

"Yes, yes!"

Yu Xiaobo looked at Shi Xiusheng with some amusement as he violated the rules in a blink of an eye. He shook his head, stretched out his hand and placed a black chess piece on the tea table, saying, "The academy has a martial arts ban. I won't touch you, but after you leave the academy, for every chess piece on the table, I will have someone break one of your bones."

Shi Xiusheng's face turned pale and he trembled like a sieve. He didn't dare to say another word.

"Okay." Yu Xiaobo nodded, stretched out his hand and opened a booklet that had been placed on the tea table for a long time. He read it while reading, "Shi Xiusheng, born in 1150, his biological father is Shi He, his biological mother is Xu... In 1167, he successfully built his foundation at Yongjin Meng College in Jinghua District. The next year, he applied for Rongcheng Academy, but failed to get on the list by one point."

Hearing this one-point difference, Shi Xiusheng couldn't help but breathe heavily, and his eyes began to be full of bloodshot. Although he didn't say anything, his angry expression showed his thoughts.

So Yu Xiaobo reached out and slapped another chess piece on the table.

Shi Xiusheng's anger stopped abruptly, and he said in surprise: "I didn't say anything!"

Yu Xiaobo smiled and put the third chess piece down.

Shi Xiusheng was stunned on the spot, and it took a long time for him to restrain all his emotions, lowered his head, and dared not speak again.

"Do you think I'm unreasonable? Yes, this is unreasonable." Yu Xiaobo said, grabbing the three chess pieces on the table and grinding them into powder, "Place a few chess pieces and interrupt you a few times." It's just a matter of my thoughts. It doesn't matter whether you speak or not... Just like 34 years ago, it didn't matter whether you answered the math question correctly or not. The young master took it away. His brother is the top student in the academy, and now he is the famous Professor Meng. And the dandy young master who took your place to get into the academy is now the director of Jinlanwu, and his annual income is 100,000 yuan. Above five million soul leaves, both the wife and the lover are beautiful. As for you, if the secret guards of Bolan Village had not followed my orders to settle the account for you, you would still be in the cage."

After hearing these words, Shi Xiu Sheng trembled and finally did not dare to speak.

Yu Xiaobo said: "It's good that you know how to restrain yourself. But you must still feel that it's unfair in your heart. A mediocre mediocre person or even a despicable villain is occupying the high position, but you are full of talents but can't use them... Haha, you are so A green robe is given to outstanding graduates from Yongjin Mongolian College. You have worn it for more than 30 years. Do you always feel that you are the talented and perfect stone immortal? But in fact, most people, including me? Internally, so-called talent is irrelevant. Whether you can seize the opportunity or not is what matters most. And now I can give you a chance to become a Shixian."

Shi Xiu Sheng raised his head, with a trace of hope flashing in his confused eyes.

"I want you to register to become the Lord of Lingshan."
