Chapter 408, Level 3: I said I didn’t convince him and I didn’t even beat him!
"What are you talking about? Just tell me!" Xuan Qing Zhenren said coldly: "As long as I can do it, I will help you!"
"Really?" Li Ruoling looked at Xuan Qing Zhenren in disbelief. She knew very well that if Xuan Qing Zhenren could help, there would be hope for this matter. She hurriedly and excitedly said:
"My fiancé fell into the Demonic Abyss ten years ago and has not returned yet. Vice Dean, can you help me find him? If you can help me find him, I will find him alive or dead. From now on, I will serve the Privy Council with all my heart and soul until my death!"
When Li Ruoling said this, she spoke very quickly, as if she was afraid that Master Xuanqing would go back on his word.
"Just because of such a small matter, you want to drop out of school and give up the opportunity to stay in the school to teach?" Zhenren Xuanqing was stunned.
“Hehe…” Li Ruoling smiled bitterly: “Perhaps, for the Vice Dean, the disappearance of a person in the Demon Abyss is just a small matter. After all, many people disappear in the Demon Abyss every year. He is just a drop in the ocean. But for the disciple, it is far from that, because he is really, really important to me!”
What Li Ruoling said was actually not an exaggeration at all, because she had been looked down upon by her father who favored boys over girls since she was a child. When she was a child, he had a very low status in the Li family. Many children outside bullied her, and the children in the Li family did not help her. Every time, only Ye Fei stood up for her.
It can be said that her best and happiest childhood was inseparable from Ye Fei.
Ye Fei was very normal when he was a child. He always acted like a little adult and even spoke in an adult-like manner.
When he was seven or eight years old, he often taught her some ways and principles of dealing with people, and even taught her some tips on cultivation. Later, she tested them herself and found that what Ye Fei said when he was a child was actually very correct.
Even though Ye Fei suddenly started to deliberately distance himself from her after he was twelve years old for some unknown reason, and even went so far as to humiliate himself by doing all kinds of bad things, gambling, etc., she never gave up on him completely.
Although I did have the thought of giving up, I didn't give up in the end.
However, ever since she returned from the Demon Realm and reunited with Ye Fei, she seemed to have regained the feeling of the past, and Ye Fei no longer deliberately distanced himself from her.
During that time, she felt really happy being with Ye Fei.
Although she never showed it on the surface, she really liked that feeling in her heart.
"Is it really that important?" Xuan Qing Zhenren curled his lips and deliberately tested her: "There are thousands and thousands of men in the world, is he really that important?"
"Yes!" Li Ruoling nodded without hesitation: "If he doesn't come back, I think it would be meaningless even if he keeps me as the dean of Tianxuan College."
"How dare you!" Xuan Qian suddenly shouted coldly, "Li Ruoling, how dare you say such outrageous words in front of the Vice President! Hurry up and admit your mistake and make amends to the Vice President!"
But after Xuan Qian finished speaking, she immediately winked at Li Ruoling and said anxiously to her through voice transmission: "Silly girl, hurry up and apologize to the vice president! You are committing a big taboo by saying such careless things! In front of the vice president, you said you are not worthy of being the president, how can you let him save face?"
Xuan Qian knew that Li Ruoling was a particularly hard-working girl. She and she had a mutual understanding and had become very good friends in private.
However, she also had selfish motives, because she had long known that Li Ruoling was Ye Fei's fiancée.
At the same time, since she is the right-hand man of Master Xuan Qing, she also knows many secrets about Ye Fei.
She knew very well that Ye Fei would surely soar to great heights in the future, and if one wanted to curry favor with such a person, one had to do so as early as possible, and even the people around her had to curry favor with him as early as possible, otherwise, there would be no chance to curry favor with him in the future.
What's more, she liked Li Ruoling's personality. Even if Ye Fei was not there, becoming sisters with such a good-natured and good-tempered girl would be a rare good fate.
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Li Ruoling knew that she had made a big mistake and apologized quickly: "Dean, I, I didn't mean it..."
"It's a small matter, no need to apologize!" Master Xuan Qing, who usually has a bad temper, shocked Xuan Qian with his behavior at this moment.
When did the vice president change his personality?
Are you not angry about this?
"How about this!" Xuan Qing Zhenren continued, "Ling'er, you still have half a year before graduation, so you will temporarily stay in my Privy Council to teach. As for the next six months, I will mobilize the Privy Council's intelligence network to help you find your fiancé. If you find him, you will stay in my Privy Council. If you don't find him, it's up to you to stay or go. What do you think?"
"Really?" Li Ruoling was so excited that a bright and charming smile appeared on her pretty face.
The next second, Xuan Qian poked her lower back.
Li Ruoling understood and quickly knelt on one knee and bowed: "Thank you, Vice President! I will follow your arrangements!"
"Yes!" Xuan Qing Zhenren nodded: "Okay, it's okay, you can go and do your own thing!"
"Mr. Vice President, I'll take my leave first!" Li Ruoling stood up, clasped his hands together, took three steps back, and then turned and left.
But she had just walked a short distance outside when she began to jump up and down like a happy little deer. Her light steps seemed to be stepping on clouds, and every step was full of joy and vitality.
I saw her raising her hands high like a bird spreading its wings to fly, and her mouth kept emitting clear and melodious cheers like silver bells, and her whole body was immersed in an atmosphere of incomparable joy.
Because she knew that as long as Master Xuanqing was willing to help as he said, there would be news about Ye Fei soon.
After all, the Privy Council is the strongest intelligence agency in the Wuyuan Star Region.
Looking at Li Ruoling's departing back, Xuan Qian was extremely shocked to find that even Master Xuan Qing, who hadn't laughed for a long time, couldn't help but laugh.
It turns out that laughter really is contagious.
Xuan Qing Zhenren smiled and said to Xuan Qian: "Is this girl always so lively and cute?"
"That's not the case!" Xuan Qian looked at Li Ruoling who had already jumped and run a long way. "This girl is usually very quiet. She was a little self-abased when she first came here. Later, I found that she was actually a little withdrawn, or maybe arrogant! She doesn't like to interact with other disciples in the academy. In the twelve years since she came to the academy, the person she talked the most to was probably me, and the second was Uncle Xuantong."
"Brother!" Xuan Qing Zhenren corrected him, "You have now been given the title Xuan Qian, so even if it is Taoist Xuan Tong, you can just call him Brother."
"Hehe, Senior Brother Xuantong, Qian'er has remembered it!" Xuanqian nodded: "But, Vice President, do we really need to mobilize the intelligence network to find Ye Fei's whereabouts?"
"What are you looking for?" Xuan Qing Zhenren curled his lips and said, "That kid is in Lingxu Star Region, and he has caused trouble. Just now, Dean Xuanren used the token to transmit a message to scold me."
"Ah, he ran off to the Lingxu Star Region?" Xuan Qian's eyes widened. "How big of a mess did he get into this time to alarm the dean?"
"The disaster wasn't that serious!" Xuan Qing Zhenren shook his head: "When he was going through the 18 levels of Tianxuan, he passed the first two levels with violence!"
"What?" Xuan Qian exclaimed, "He, he has already passed the 18th level of Tianxuan? Doesn't that mean that if he can pass it, he can become the vice president?"
"How can it be that easy!" Xuan Qing Zhenren curled his lips in disdain: "Among the 18 levels of Tianxuan, the first five literary levels are 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness'. For others, these five levels are simply free points. For that kid, I guess he won't get any of those five points.
You know, the most difficult of the 18 levels of Tianxuan is the 13th level of Wuguan. Each level is more difficult than the last. I spent 30 years trying to pass the level, starting from the early stage of Soul Origin Realm. I applied to pass the level every one or two years, and I passed it more than ten times. It was not until I broke through the peak of Soul Origin Realm that I was lucky enough to pass it. "
"So how many points do you need to pass?" Xuan Qian asked.
"Thirteen points!" Taoist Xuanqing shook his head slowly.
"So, if Ye Fei doesn't get any points in the first five literary levels, then he can't lose any points in the last thirteen levels? He must pass all the martial arts levels?" Xuan Qian widened her eyes.
“Yes!” Xuan Qing Zhenren nodded, and then immediately shook his head: “But that is absolutely impossible! The reason why the passing score is designed like this is because the old dean believes that some unruly people can’t even get one point out of five of the five elements of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. As long as his cultivation is high enough and his combat power is strong enough, he can pass the test and can be appointed as the deputy dean.
It's a pity that since the founding of Tianxuan College, thousands of years have passed, there has not been a talent like this. You can imagine how difficult the next thirteen levels will be! "
"What if he can get one or two points in the first five essay tests?" Xuan Qian said.
"Him? Absolutely impossible!" Master Xuan Qing waved his hand with a look of disgust.
"Why?" Xuan Qian was at a loss.
"Ah..." Master Xuan Qian shook her head. "Don't mention him. Even if I were to go through the Tianxuan Eighteen Levels again, I might not be able to pass it. Especially the old man at the third level, he is good at fighting and stubborn. If you talk to him about literature, he can talk to you for three days and three nights without repeating a word. If you talk to him about martial arts, my goodness, he not only knows a little about boxing, but also has super strong combat power!
Especially Ye Fei, I just heard that he used force to get through the first two levels, so he can forget about getting through the third level."
"Why?" Xuan Qian became even more curious.
"Because the gatekeeper of the third level is the father of the second level and the grandfather of the first level!" Master Xuan Qing shook his head, and then suddenly said:
"Oh, yes, there is one more thing... their ancestors and grandchildren have been gatekeepers for eight generations, and all eight generations are still alive, and they are getting stronger as they get older. Even if that kid beats the first three, he will only be in a worse situation in the future, because there are still five old ones waiting for him in Tianxuan Eighteen.
There were occasional cases where people had to use force to force their way through the first five civil checkpoints, but when they finally reached the military checkpoints at the end and encountered those people who had been guarding the gates for generations, they all died miserably.
Alas… I lost at the third level the first time. I said that I failed to convince him, and later I couldn’t help but attack the old guy. In the end… I didn’t even win.
Moreover, because it was my first time to pass the level, I didn’t know the rules very well, so I also used force to pass the second level. Maybe it was because I beat up his son, he beat me so badly! "
Xuan Qian: “…”
