Chapter 25 Just Chatting
Early this morning, when Bai Xiao arrived at the examination room early, he was surprised to find that there were crowds of people in front of the examination room, which was very lively!
Logically speaking, the inhuman test of the third ring is purely for checking and filling in the first two rings, and it is of little significance to most candidates. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the candidates is no longer as enthusiastic than before. There will be much fewer people present in advance, and some people are even too lazy to do this and give up the exam directly.
After all, in the past five years, the average score of the third ring of the entrance examination has been less than 2 points... The potential of most candidates has been tapped out as early as the first two ring tests.
But Bai Xiao arrived early this day and found that the exam room became more lively.
When someone saw Bai Xiao coming, he waved excitedly from a distance: "Brother Bai is here!"
"Welcome Brother Bai!"
"Brother Bai, I wish you a happy marriage with Sister Qing!"
"Damn whether you want to lick it so exaggeratedly and meticulously! Brother Bai, I wish you and Sister Qing a good son soon!"
Amid the mixed shouts, Bai Xiao took out a handful of physical gold yuan and fine gems from his pocket, and scattered them around. There was a jingle and a whisper of pain from the occasional hit.
But then there were cheers like tsunamis.
"Brother Bai is proud!"
"Long live Brother Bai!"
"Brother Bai, I love you!"
"Brother Bai, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"
For a moment, the atmosphere before the examination room was so warm, like the emperor's ascension site. Many candidates who came to queue up to occupy the best position on the afternoon of the first day were even hugging a handful of gold and gems, and cried like an elderly kiln sister who had been in a long drought and rain.
After a long time, Bai Xiao threw money all the way to the main entrance, and the craze finally cooled down briefly.
Bai Xiao stood in front of the door, and soon someone was about to surround him, but the people were about to move their steps when they seemed to see an incredible scene. They couldn't help but stop and retreated after a while of hesitation.
Behind Bai Xiao, a familiar voice came amidst him.
"Good morning, Mr. Bai."
"Good morning, Lu Xun." Bai Xiao also hugged Lu Xun behind him in accordance with the etiquette of the southerners, and felt a little strange.
I didn't see him just now, so why did he appear behind me all at once? This elusive skill is interesting.
And Lu Xun at this time looked quite different from the previous few days.
When they first met, Bai Xiao was particularly impressed by Lu Xun. In the VIP room of Xinhu Restaurant, a group of nobles from the south surrounded him and unscrupulously released clear hostility, as if he was holding people on a fire and burning them.
But for Bai Xiao, the scene was like being watched by a group of grinding teeth, which only made him feel interesting. He even distracted himself from thinking about whether these crowded animals would have heatstroke and diarrhea...
Only Lu Xun is so outstanding among the crowd. His temperament, oppression, and the boiling vitality in his body are not on the same level as others. Even his unique appearance left a deep impression on Bai Xiao.
As a man, he has long black and shiny hair, bright teeth, and fair and delicate skin, just like a top-notch fat jade, but his sword eyebrows, as well as the calmness and confidence in his eyes, makes his gentle appearance seem like a concealment, hiding his straight nature like a sharp sword.
But seeing each other again today, Bai Xiao saw on Lu Xun's face the weakness and confusion as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
"Is it okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that I'm too devoted to the preparation for the exam these days and I'm a little tired. Thank you for your concern. To put it, I have a question to ask, Bai Xiao, have you ever considered that no matter how much money you spend here, they didn't really look at you?"
Bai Xiao thought for a while and said, "I really haven't considered who these people are looking at."
Lu Xun was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "This answer is sharper than I thought. However, since you don't care about others at all, why do you still have to spend money on these people? I can understand that the sky-high price for Qingyue before, but these people... I'm bluntly speaking, the money you brought to the Southern Continent is not endless, right?"
Bai Xiao was stunned again: "In the Southern Continent, you have to consider so much money to spend?"
"..." This time, Lu Xun had nothing to say, so he could only shake his head helplessly, and even felt sad in his heart.
Because even he, the eldest son of the Lu family, has never squandered so happily in his life...
After a while, Lu Xun sighed: "Actually, when I first met you, I thought you would be forced to leave Hongshan City in a mess. Even if you are Qingyue's ex-boyfriend, even if you have great potential, you are not a person from the civilized territory. The unforgettable alien imprint on you is destined to be difficult for you to truly adapt to the rules here, but I didn't expect that you would perfectly integrate into this place in just a few days."
Bai Xiao was quite surprised when he heard this and asked, "So I have perfectly integrated into the south now?"
"Haha, is it a surprise? Do you think that you are obviously out of place with the surrounding environment, and are completely different from the southerners. You cannot fully understand their thinking or understand them. The people around you smile at you on the surface, but you want you to die in your heart... But this is the norm in the southern continent. Most of the interactions between people are like this. The truth is hidden in your heart, and most of the words are against your will. You rarely understand others sincerely, and at the same time, you don't.
I hope to be deeply understood. At the same time, people will be divided into different classes due to various conditions. Aristocrats, civilians, demons, mortals, etc. Everyone will feel out of place when they reach different classes, but these don’t matter. As long as everyone can live in harmony on the surface, the environment can be maintained. From this perspective, when those of them shout Brother Bai at you with smiles, you have already perfectly integrated into the southern continent."
Bai Xiao was thinking, and this statement seemed to be vaguely verified with what Bai Wuya said, but the angle was different...
"Why do you want to tell me this?"
"Just chatting, Qingyue hasn't arrived yet... Or do you don't like to listen to the long-term discussions of me, a competitor?"
Bai Xiao asked: "I'm just curious, do people usually talk about their competitors in the Southern continent?"
"It depends on what kind of person, what kind of opponent, and what kind of competition. Based on the competitive relationship between you and me, I think a long-term discussion is a necessary adjustment."
Bai Xiao frowned, feeling that he didn't seem to tell the truth.
But Lu Xun didn't explain much: "This competition has just begun. We must prepare for a long and arduous battle, my competitor. Oh, Qingyue is here."
When Bai Xiao heard this, he quickly turned around and saw Qingyue walking slowly from a distance, yawning.
At the same time, Lu Xun, who was just around him, disappeared without a long talk with him...
Bai Xiao didn't care about Lu Xun's departure, and the tired look on Qingyue's face had attracted all his attention.
Compared to yesterday, Qingyue became more tired, and her shaky figure even had the shadow of the Snow Mountain Age.
Bai Xiao hurried over and asked, "Why are you staying up late again? I'll look for it now..."
Qingyue quickly held Bai Xiao's hand: "Don't invite Master Ping anymore... Today's test doesn't require me to be full of energy, so it doesn't matter. By the way, get this."
Bai Xiao took the manuscript pages handed over by Qingyue and asked with curious eyes.
"This is the exam plan I designed for you." Qingyue couldn't help but yawn again, "As for what is above, the score will be higher."
Bai Xiao flipped through the manuscript and saw that the first two pages were filled with extremely complex formulas and magical texts. Using Bai Xiao's theory to test his understanding of up to 53 points, he could only see that these two pages were written by Qingyue himself, and he had a lot of effort.
From the third page, there is a formal examination plan, and the content has been much simpler. Bai Xiao only took a look and found out.
but……
"Why?"
"It's a small gift," said Qingyue, "I received such a valuable gift two days ago, so I can't say without a word."
Bai Xiao thought for a while: "That's right."
With Qingyue's personality, she must repay the kindness of others. No matter whether the other party is an enemy or a lover, even if the primitive magic liquid worth 80 million on the first day was actually all cheaper to Bai Xiao, but she would still bear this love.
Therefore, this return gift must have value comparable to the original magic liquid and the Misty Yu.
"...Don't look so serious. I'm under such a lot of pressure... These pages are not expensive. After all, it's just a manuscript I drove out all night. The details need to be polished. In a hurry, I can only do so much. But, if nothing unexpected happens, you can see a good show."
