Looking at Chen Chao’s reaction, Xie Nandu said, “There’s a building in the academy. If you go in and see, you might be even more shocked.”
That was the academy’s library.
Other than a handful of trump cards in the various major sects, the vast majority of the world’s cultivation methods had actually been circulating in the world. Those books were even more so. As the cultivators of one of the lineages, the academy naturally had countless pioneering books too. The Myriad Willow Convention’s literary exam would likely be asking questions from those books.
Chen Chao could not really believe it and asked, “How long have you entered the academy?”
Xie Nandu looked at him and said calmly, “In this world, there isn’t just the academy alone where you can study.”
She did not step foot into cultivation before 16 years of age. What she did the most in the White Deer’s Xie Clan’s ancestral shrine was reading books.
Over the years, she read many books.
Chen Chao looked at Xie Nandu’s expression and discovered that she was not worried about this sort of thing. Hence, he stopped worrying too and asked instead, “Then what about the martial exam? Arena fight?”
Xie Nandu shook her head, “That way is too crude. Cultivators naturally don’t like that.”
Hearing the word crude, Chen Chao mocked himself, “I’m crude in the first place, fighting is my forte. In fact, if I really fight, in at most 15 minutes, I’ll be able to beat that guy at the lake just now into the South Lake.”
“It’s not that easy.” Visitt nov𝒆lbin(.)c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates
Xie Nandu did not dig deeper into this problem but continued, “Although the martial exam will be decided in one battle in the end, it’s a little more complicated before that and it’s different every time. But, the specifics of the content will probably still be testing a person’s intelligence and reaction. Two finalists will be determined in the end and they will have a battle to determine the victor.”
“Wait for some time. There’s roughly still one month plus before specific information will come out.”
Xie Nandu summed it up, which was considered to have explained this matter clearly.
Chen Chao said, “Which is also to say that this Myriad Willow Convention will have two winners, one literary and one martial?”
Xie Nandu gave an mhm.
Chen Chao picked up a sweet potato from the stove. Patting the dust on it, he said with some expectation, “Who will be the two lucky fellows?”
Xie Nandu naturally knew what he was talking about. Taking the sweet potato, she said, “There are many amazing people among the foreign land cultivators. Although not all of them will come, it might not be that easy to win first place.”
Chen Chao did not reply. He just lifted his head and looked at the sky. The two did not talk for a short time. At present, it was already night. A bright moon was hanging brightly in the sky.
Looking at the moonlight, Chen Chao suddenly said, “When am I making a trip to the Xie Family?”
Xie Nandu ate the sweet potato and asked without even raising her head, “Why are you asking me?”
Chen Chao said as a matter of course, “Of course I’m going with you. Can it be that I go by myself?”
Xie Nandu frowned and said, “Are you a little girl? Are you shy?”
Chen Chao did not speak. He just looked at the young girl in front of him with both eyes.
Xie Nandu took a look at him and quickly figured out the connections, she said softly, “Don’t go for the time being.”
“Then would it give an image that I’m too selfish and ungrateful?”
Chen Chao was a little worried.
Xie Nandu could not be bothered to answer him and just said, “There are many people there who don’t like me. It will be very troublesome if you go now.”
Chen Chao lifted his head and was deep in thought as he said, “I have to go eventually.”
“Actually… you don’t need to be grateful to them for anything. Rather than being grateful to them, it’s better to be grateful to me.”

In the early morning, the light of dawn was peeking through the darkness. Outside of the Court of Judicial Review, the Minister of Judicial Review, Han Pu, was wearing bright red official robes as he stood in front of a horse carriage. He looked into the distance before retracting his gaze. Looking at the three people in the cabin, he said with a slight smile, “Three immortal masters, take care. This official won’t be sending you off.”
After saying this, Han Pu seemed to have no plans of watching them leave at all, but turned around and walked towards the Court of Judicial Review’s government office. No one knew what this Minister of Judicial Review was thinking about. But clearly, the Court of Judicial Review would not have so many things to do, and it was even more impossible that it was so urgent that he would not even have the time to send them off.
The sound of horse hooves sounded out and the carriage wheels began to turn. This horse carriage slowly headed towards the city gates.
There were no pedestrians on both side of the street in the early morning. Even if there were, no one would pay attention to this horse carriage either. Because this horse carriage was the exact same as many carriages; too ordinary. No one could perceive anything special about it.
Except, the three people in the horse carriage were not ordinary.
If people knew their identities, they would definitely be incredibly shocked. Because they were on the jury for that major case that shocked the Divine Capital several days ago. Although they went from jury to convicts in the end, making them completely lose face, they still came out of the Court of Judicial Review at this moment. Furthermore, they would return to their respective sects before long.
The middle-aged daoist nun was seated in the horse carriage. At this moment, there was already white hair at her temples compared to when she just entered the Divine Capital. She looked a lot more haggard. The various experiences previously made her completely lose face. Now that she came out of the Court of Judicial Review, for a moment, she actually somewhat felt as if she was reborn.
Compared to her, Xu Yu was clearly a lot more indifferent. Although his eyes were also filled with loathing when looking at both sides of the Divine Capital, he at least did not express much.
Yu Ke sighed and said, “Who could have thought that that miscreant actually really had such a demon bead? Furthermore, he was so cunning to have only brought that thing out at that time.”
They overlooked it despite their meticulous considerations. They had already sent people to watch over him in the Court of Judicial Review. But they did not expect that in the end, that boy still tricked them ruthlessly.
Xu Yu laughed coldly and said, “Before long, if he dares to take part in the Myriad Willow Convention this time, we’ll definitely make him lose all face and also have a taste of being humiliated.”
Yu Ke nodded and concurred, “That’s how it should be. When we return this time, we’ll inform the southern daoists about this matter. It would be best if he dies during the Myriad Willow Convention.”
Xu Yue did not speak. Although they understood the logic of not washing one’s dirty linen in public, the Divine Capital had already blown this matter up so much. Even if they wanted to hide it, they could not hide it too. Since that was the case, might as well lay everything out clearly.
The two exchanged glances, very much in agreement with this way of thinking. It was just that soon, they noticed that the middle-aged daoist nun did not open her mouth the entire time. Only then, did they frown and look at that daoist nun, asking, “Fellow Daoist Wang, what’s your opinion?”
The middle-aged daoist nun seemed to be somewhat out of sorts all along. Only when she heard this at this moment, did she return to her senses absentmindedly. At this moment, the horse carriage was already almost out of the city gates. Only then, did she say in a cold voice, “I’ll definitely dice that scoundrel into pieces and make him unable to reincarnate for all of eternity!”
It was already summer today. But when she said this sentence, it seemed to have become winter again inside the horse carriage. A chilly wind came out of nowhere and was bone-piercingly cold.
