"Woo..." Three melodious trumpets sounded.
The square, which was noisy and noisy just now, immediately fell silent. Those young people who were preparing to participate in the selection were all excited. Listen carefully, and you can even hear their rapid heartbeats.
Everyone knew that as soon as the trumpets stopped, the recruitment election for Longyan College would officially begin.
At the same time as the trumpets sounded, ten huge long swords were carried into the selection field and stood tall.
"What is this and what is it for?"
"Isn't it for the assessment? Why haven't we seen it in the previous admissions election?"
In the originally quiet square, there was a burst of discussion again, and everyone's faces showed surprise.
"Silence!" Before they could reach a conclusion in their discussion, a majestic voice sounded, and an old man in a black sword robe slowly walked up to the only high platform behind the viewing seats, looking down calmly.
His voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap, which exploded in everyone's hearts. His figure was not too tall, but he was as vigorous and powerful as an ancient pine tree. Heart.
The entire square became calm again.
"Old man Gong Hongru, this Longyan College enrollment election will be supervised by this old man. Regardless of the aristocratic family or the common people's children, all are treated equally. No one is allowed to engage in selfish fraud. Otherwise, this old man will not let Longyan College take action." Gong Hongru's voice resounded throughout the audience.
The sword light swordsmen who were queuing up to participate in the general election were all shocked, and some people who had originally hoped to rely on their family background to make some connections turned pale.
Although no matter Longyan College or other colleges, the slogan of every admissions election is to treat everyone equally, and no one should practice selfishness or cheat, but it is easier said than done. No matter how detached the status of the four colleges is, it is impossible to be detached from the outside world. There will always be some contacts with the major families, and the tutors of the colleges do not just pop out from the cracks of the rocks. There are always some relatives and old friends.
So in many cases, rules are dead and people are alive. As long as one's own aptitude and strength are indeed passable, even if it is a little bit worse, as long as someone intercedes, he can still be selected by the academy.
But this time the situation is obviously different. This time the person in charge of supervision is not someone else, but Gong Hongru, who is known for his stern and selfless face. As one of the three rumored masters of Longyan Academy, many times even the headmaster would give him three points, his words carry a lot of weight. Not to mention ordinary wealthy families, even the eight major families in the capital, and even the royal family, he doesn't need to give face.
As soon as Gong Hongru opened his mouth, he said the ugly words in front of him, which was obviously a warning to the big aristocratic families, and it was even more of a threat. Didn't you hear that he said it all? Before the academy took action, he himself would not let it go lightly.
That is to say, if others caught cheating for selfish purposes, there might be room for maneuver for the overall interests of the academy. Leaving the academy as a mentor Long, he must do what he says, and he will not give face to any aristocratic family, royal family, or official.
"How about I don't participate this time, you guys go." A young man in front wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a dry smile.
Apparently, this person was a scion of an aristocratic family who had made preparations in advance and was ready to fish in troubled waters in the general admissions election. Hearing Gong Hongru's undisguised warning or threat, he would not dare to take risks. If Gong Hongru got into trouble, not to mention himself, even his family might suffer.
"We won't go either. At worst, we'll try other academies in a few days." Several other people laughed dryly, sweating profusely.
Soon, some descendants of the family left the team.
Seeing this, there was boos in the square.
As soon as they left, the eyes of the rest of the team became a little brighter. Originally, there were not many places, and if some of the people who practiced favoritism and fraud were removed, the chances of the remaining people would of course be greater.
"Hmph, a bunch of trash, they've completely embarrassed the children of our aristocratic family." At this moment, a few young swordsmen in fine costumes squeezed into the team, and said disdainfully as they walked forward.
As soon as they saw them coming, the people at the front hurriedly backed out and respectfully handed over the number plates in their hands to them.
Seeing this posture, everyone understood that these people were obviously descendants of wealthy families. Not only did someone help them get their number plates in advance, they even saved themselves from queuing up.
"Good dogs don't get in the way, so get out of the way. Just this kind of guy, he has the nerve to participate in the general election of Longyan College. You can't control yourself!" The entrance was already crowded, and the few of them pushed forward. Those who helped to clear them squeezed back again, making it even more crowded. The young man in the lead cursed impatiently and kicked a young swordsman on the back.
"What are you doing?" The young swordsman turned around, and it turned out to be Tang Bufan.
"Didn't you hear what Mr. Qiu said, a good dog will not block the way, let you get out of the way." Several other servants from the aristocratic family gave Tang Bufan a contemptuous look and said.
"Don't bully people too much!" Tang Bufan looked at the other party angrily.
"I'm just bullying you, so what can you do? An untouchable rank nine swordsman dares to participate in the general election of Longyan Academy, and he is not afraid of losing face. It is a shame for us to run with people like you." The young man smiled contemptuously.
"What did you say!" The anger on Tang Bufan's face became stronger.
Not only him, other young swordsmen from commoner background also showed anger, and even the children of other aristocratic families frowned.
Gong Hongru had just said earlier that this general election would treat everyone equally, but this person is still putting on airs as a child of his family, which is too arrogant.
To put it bluntly, there are quite a few descendants of well-known families in the team, and it is not a big deal to ask the servants to help get the number plate, but seeing that the general election is about to start, they began to squeeze in arrogantly, and they were so rude. It is undeniably a bit excessive.
"Do you want me to say it again? I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the untouchables, get out of here immediately, or I will destroy you now." The young man's face turned cold, and he said coldly.
"Okay, okay, I want to see how you abolish me?" Tang Bufan moved his wrist and grabbed the hilt of the sword violently.
Seeing that Tang Bufan was about to make a move, Mu Hanyan moved and stood in front of Tang Bufan.
Tang Bufan is only a ninth-rank swordsman, and the young man in front of him, if Mu Hanyan is not mistaken, is at least a master of the sword master realm, and Tang Bufan will definitely not take advantage of it.
"Hey, there are still people who dare to meddle in my son's business, they are quite courageous." The young man looked at Mu Hanyan up and down, and said contemptuously.
"Apologize." Mu Hanyan said coldly, too lazy to talk nonsense.
