"Have you heard? A beauty has arrived for this year's examination!"

"A beauty? How beautiful? More beautiful than the flowers of our academy?"

Two senior students casually chatted, sharing their observations. The latter didn't seem to care much.

Their Great Zhou Imperial Academy was the academic heart of the entire Great Zhou. Any cultivator with achievements, or successful officials and businessmen, would try their best to connect with the academy to show their worth. These high-ranking officials and nobles would even go to great lengths to send their children to study at the academy. It could be said that the children of the entire upper class were in the academy.

These cultivators, officials, and businessmen might not be good-looking themselves, but using their influence to find a beautiful wife was not difficult. Therefore, their children were often very good-looking.

For example, the daughter of the mighty General Li Changyue, the Princess of Huailing County of Prince Gong, the granddaughter of the Grand Scholar of the Cabinet, Nan Jin, and so on, all had top-notch appearances, with many suitors.

"There's no comparison!" His companion was somewhat excited, regretting his lack of eloquence to describe the charm of the new girl, "You haven't seen the new junior sister. She's a rare beauty in this world, unforgettable after just one glance!"

"Hey, hey, hey, she hasn't even passed the exam yet, how did she become your junior sister?"

"She will definitely pass. If she doesn't, I will cheat for her!"

The other person gave him a white look: "Don't you know how strict our academy's exams are? Cheating? More like courting death. The vice-principal personally supervises the exam, and the principal personally grades the papers. How can you cheat with your Qi Refining eighth level strength?"

Being able to enter the best academy of the dynasty with the strength of the eighth level of Qi Refining was unimaginable in other dynasties. In their words, does a Qi Refining stage cultivator even deserve to study here?

The biggest difference between the Great Zhou Imperial Academy and other dynastic academies was this. The Great Zhou valued law and order, and cultivators in the Great Zhou were not required to be very capable of fighting. This led to a strong academic atmosphere in the Great Zhou, and the admission standards of the Great Zhou Imperial Academy were not based on cultivation level, but on memory and understanding of books.

Memory depended on divine consciousness. The stronger the divine consciousness, the stronger the memory.

The Elemental Infant stage was just the beginning of touching upon divine consciousness, and it wasn't until the middle and later stages of the Elemental Infant stage that one could cultivate divine consciousness. However, the Great Zhou Imperial Academy required students to be under twenty-five years old.

If someone could cultivate to the middle or later stages of the Elemental Infant stage before the age of twenty-five, the Great Zhou Imperial Academy would not recommend you to enroll, but would suggest you to become a Taoist walker.

However, the person was intrigued by his companion's attitude and asked, "What's the name of the beauty?"

"Jiang Jing Xin."

Passing by and overhearing their conversation, Jiang Li paused, feeling that this name gave off a sense of absurdity.

"Are you talking about the woman with soft, flowing hair, delicate eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes as clear as water, skin as delicate as jade, beautiful as a dream, unforgettable after seeing her?"@@novelbin@@

The person seemed to have an epiphany, understanding his companion's description of the beautiful junior sister.

"Yes, yes, yes, you finally understand what I mean." His companion was overjoyed, but then became wary. Had he gained another competitor?

"Is that the person you're talking about, your beautiful junior sister?"

His companion looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a plain-looking man standing very close to his unforgettable beautiful junior sister!

Jiang Li looked at the Goddess Jing Xin in front of him, who hadn't even changed her appearance, and was somewhat surprised.

"Jiang Peoples Emperor, I didn't expect to meet you here. It's fate." Goddess Jing Xin said joyfully.

Her mood had been down due to the changes in her sect, so she wanted to visit the places where Jiang Li had stayed to change her mood. She didn't expect to meet Jiang Li here.

What a pleasant surprise!

In order to avoid being recognized, Jiang Li always slightly changed his face each time. He was too famous, and there were statues of him all over Jiuzhou.

However, Goddess Jing Xin had only descended the mountain for a few years of experience hundreds of years ago, and rarely left the World of Mortals Pure Land afterwards. Few people knew her, so she could use her real appearance without fear of being recognized.

"So you're Jiang Jing Xin?" Jiang Li found the name strange.

"Mm." Goddess Jing Xin hummed softly, her cheeks slightly red. Of course, there was a personal reason for this name, but who would have thought she would meet Jiang Li here? It was so embarrassing!

"What's your name now?" Goddess Jing Xin didn't think Jiang Li would use his real name.

"Kong Li, Kong Li from Kong Rong letting the pear."

Goddess Jing Xin didn't understand the latter part, but she understood that Jiang Li's current name was Kong Li.

She thought she should be a smart girl, so that the man she liked would like her, so she didn't ask what the meaning of Kong Rong letting the pear was.

"Are you here to take the entrance exam?" Jiang Li couldn't understand why he would see Goddess Jing Xin here.

What could the Great Zhou Imperial Academy offer that would be worth learning for the saintess of the World of Mortals Pure Land?

Even if there was, there was no need to pretend to be a student.

Goddess Jing Xin looked at Kong Li, who was also here to take the entrance exam, and smiled without saying a word.

Jiang Li coughed awkwardly: "Recalling childhood, recalling childhood.""I remember you entered the academy at the age of twenty, classmate Kong Li, you had a long childhood, didn't you?"

Although he didn't know why the other party knew his age when he entered school, Jiang Li felt a bit embarrassed when he was so bluntly exposed.

Goddess Jing Xin chuckled, no longer making things difficult for Jiang Li: "Since we're both here to take the exam, why don't we compete and see who can get the first place?"

Jiang Li was interested and agreed: "Sure. Let's add a wager, the loser has to fulfill a condition for the winner!"

The two slapped hands in agreement, making the two senior students extremely envious of Jiang Li.

"By the way, has the Red Dust Fairy woken up?"

More than two months had passed, and the Red Dust Fairy should have woken up.

"She woke up a few times, stayed awake longer than before, but still slept longer than she was awake. After waking up, the ancestor didn't talk much, just walked around in the Pure Land, spending the most time under the peach tree."

"It seems that the Red Dust Fairy's condition is still unstable." Jiang Li continued, "I've already informed Emperor Meng Jiang and Emperor Wei to keep their mouths shut. You must keep the matter of the Red Dust Fairy a secret. If any news leaks out, who knows which old fellow who has seen the Red Dust Fairy before might rush into the world of mortals Pure Land."

"I understand. But if the ancestor wants to run out, we can't stop her."

The two chatted casually, walking away under the envious gaze of the senior students, thus a murderous intent was born.

"Kill that guy?"

"I'll hire an assassin from the Sky Killing Pavilion!"

"I don't have money."

"Neither do I."

"Then forget it."

"Oh."

A catastrophe from the Sky Killing Pavilion was averted in the casual conversation between the two senior students.
