"Dean Gui Yun had already walked a hundred miles ahead. Vice Dean Sha catches up ten miles every hour, so it will take ten hours."
The astonishnt in the three people's eyes was unmistakable.
This Zhu Xiaosuo, he's got sothing!
Tao Lii was about to ask another question, but Gui Yunfeng stopped him.
"The remaining questions are only slightly more difficult than these three, no need to ask further, let's raise the difficulty."
"Raise the difficulty?"
Tao Lii looked at Gui Yunfeng in disbelief.
"The teaching is only ant to guide students from the Bone Transformation Stage to the Honoring the Ancient Stage. These questions are already challenging enough. If you raise the difficulty further, Dean Gui Yun, what are you planning?"
"The teaching examination, consider him passed. Test him on the lecturer's questions. I think this kid can pass that too."
"Dean Gui Yun, you mustn't."
Sha Daojing intervened.
"That person... even at the Fourth Layer of the Rebirth Stage, was only an academy instructor."
Hearing Sha Daojing's words, Gui Yunfeng fell silent.
Zhu Xiaosuo could guess that the "person" they were referring to was likely the current emperor.
He had heard from Chen Pusuo before that the current emperor passed the academy instructor examination at the Third Layer of the Rebirth Stage.
Unprecedented, and no one has dared to follow since.
If he were to beco an academy lecturer now, surpassing the emperor of the past, how would others perceive him?
Too much brilliance can be harmful.
Zhu Xiaosuo, having lived two lives, firmly believed this.
If it weren't for survival, he would never flaunt his intelligence.
The Black Snow Ridge spirit collapse incident, where he toppled a sect elder, had already caused a great stir.
If there were another academy incident, where he soared above the current emperor, he feared he would truly have no way to survive.
Gui Yunfeng's expression showed so reluctance.
Tao Lii sighed and said:
"The fourth question..."
There were ten questions in total, and Zhu Xiaosuo answered them all instantly.
But for so reason, the three examiners seed less and less enthusiastic.
It seed the better Zhu Xiaosuo answered, the worse their expressions beca.
"Alright, congratulations, you've passed the examination. Report to the academy gate tomorrow for your next arrangents."
"Thank you, seniors."
Zhu Xiaosuo bowed and turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Gui Yunfeng spoke again.
Sha Daojing said weakly:
"Dean Gui Yun, don't let him take the lecturer's test, if word gets out, it will be the death of him. My father back then..."
"I'm not testing him. But I have a question, I want to see how he answers."
Gui Yunfeng's eyes, gleaming with light, fixed on Zhu Xiaosuo:
"Kid, if you can answer this, the academy will cover all your future cultivation resources."
Zhu Xiaosuo stood and bowed:
"Seniors, I'm just the head of a small family in the county, not very knowledgeable. My family of over a hundred relies on for a living. So there are so questions I can't answer, and don't dare to."
Zhu Xiaosuo straightforwardly refused.
Answering one question to solve the issue of cultivation resources, there must be sothing fishy about it.
Free things are always the most expensive.
He didn't know what secret was hidden in this question.
He didn't know what stories the three present had.
But from Sha Daojing's words, only one ssage was clear:
Our secret is earth-shattering.
Clearly, it wasn't sothing a Fourth Layer Rebirth Stage cultivator like him should get involved in.
Last ti, getting involved in the Black Snow Ridge spirit collapse incident with Sun Qingde and Ba Mingyang, what was the result?
He didn't gain any benefit and was even forced into marriage.
He had to risk his life to take the academy instructor examination.
He took the examination just for so peace.
Now that he had passed the academy instructor examination, he shouldn't be dragged into the whirlpool again.
Wave after wave of events had left him physically and ntally exhausted.
He just wanted to rescue Chen Pusuo and Shang Shan Qiusuo.
Then go ho, soak in a hot bath, and get so sleep.
He was tired.
Hearing Zhu Xiaosuo's response, Gui Yunfeng's eyes lost their gleam, and he just nodded a few tis:
"You're... right. Our questions shouldn't be used to test you."
"Thank you, Dean Gui Yun, for understanding. Seniors, I take my leave."
"Yes, you may go. Rember to report early tomorrow."
"Yes."
Zhu Xiaosuo lowered his head, turned, and left without a mont's pause.
Watching Zhu Xiaosuo's departing figure, the three seed sowhat lost.
Tao Lii asked:
"Dean Gui Yun, the question you wanted to ask, was it that one?"
"Yes."
"Why bother? Whether the answer to that question can be proven or not, we can't escape our guilty status."
"But, he was wrong."
Sha Daojing chuckled:
"In the land of the Exiled Immortals, does right or wrong matter? We've fallen to this point because we were too right. So things, let them be wrong. Wrong enough, and they beco right."
With that, he got up and left:
"My father back then was too obsessed with right being right and wrong being wrong, and he died without a complete body."
Sha Daojing's departing footsteps left Gui Yunfeng, who wanted to speak, silent.
Gui Yunfeng sighed deeply and also left with his hands behind his back.
Only Tao Lii remained in the courtyard, shaking his head with a bitter smile:
"Today's examination isn't even over, and both deans have left, leaving just , the chief instructor, what's that about?"
Zhu Xiaosuo didn't know what happened in the courtyard after he left.
He still had snow to sweep at the door and couldn't worry about others' troubles.
As he got closer to the wooden door, Zhu Xiaosuo's steps beca more steady.
The beautiful female cultivator at the door was dumbfounded, questioning her life as she saw Zhu Xiaosuo walk out.
Zhu Xiaosuo nodded slightly at her.
A gesture of gratitude for her kind words when he entered.
The cultivators still in line for the examination were also stunned to see Zhu Xiaosuo co out.
For other cultivators, whether they passed the examination was evident from their deanor.
But not for Zhu Xiaosuo.
Even if he looked calm and composed, everyone knew.
He had passed the examination.
At the Fourth Layer of the Rebirth Stage, only by passing the academy instructor examination could one walk out of the wooden door alive.
When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Ba Mingyang saw Zhu Xiaosuo erge and rushed over with a smile.
"Brother Zhu! I knew it! I knew you could do it!"
Zhuang Yun approached slowly, seemingly calm, but stumbled and fell.
Sitting on the ground, Zhuang Yun pointed at Zhu Xiaosuo and laughed heartily.
Bai Sing looked at Zhu Xiaosuo as if she had seen a ghost.
The dozen or so spirit carriages around, seeing Zhu Xiaosuo walk out alive, didn't have anyone get off.
Instead, they all imdiately left.
Tonight, all the major cultivation families in the City of Seeking Immortality held etings at ho, discussing only one topic:
How should they treat Zhu Xiaosuo in the future?
Zhu Xiaosuo let out a long howl to the sky.
It was finally over.
The Niu Clan and Ma Clan could leave Mountain Chicken County.
Zhu Sixiu and his wife could rest in peace.
Dogged Luck and Wei Min could continue to rise.
Zhu Qigao and Zhu Liude could marry without worry.
Shang Shan Qiusuo and Chen Pusuo could hold their heads high.
Aunt Yang could raise her chickens in peace.
Zhuang Yun could continue being a godfather.
Jieku could finally laugh.
And Zhu Xiaosuo himself.
Could finally get so sleep.
