Such a wonderful test ended in this way, leaving everyone wanting more, especially the group of inner disciples of the Zhuge family.
When they saw Jiang Yuebai coming out, they surrounded her and looked at her with shining eyes.
"True Lord, will you teach us the art of Yanjia in the future?"
"Can we learn that move from you?"
"When will you start the class? I want to sign up now!"
"Master, look familiar with me!"
Everyone was talking at once, full of enthusiasm, which made Jiang Yuebai feel embarrassed, because she was also a beginner in the Zhuge family's Yanjia technique, and she also wanted to take classes with them.
However, Yanjia has been handed over to Bai Jiuyou. Maybe she has passed the screening to become a Yanjia apprentice and settled down in the outer city.
Jiang Yuebai is very popular, while Zhuge Ziying is left out and has a blank expression on his face.
Fan Mingshan was even more ashamed and annoyed. He stood aside feeling rather embarrassed and silently lowered his presence. He knew that he was finished. If he lost to Zhuge Ziying, he still had a set of excuses that he had prepared long ago.
But after losing to an outsider cultivator who was younger and more skilled than him, and being beaten in this way, Fan Mingshan didn't know how to save his face.
He couldn't say that he couldn't win because his Dantian was sealed, right? If he unlocked his Dantian and fought again, wouldn't he be a person with higher cultivation level bullying a person with lower cultivation level
What if I lose again... Fan Mingshan couldn't even think about it!
"Alright," Zhuge Shou said, and everyone quieted down. "Go and do your own things. If Master Wangshu wants to give a class, he will post a notice in the Internal Affairs Hall."
After the head of the family spoke, everyone could only leave in disappointment.
Zhuge Shou glanced at Zhuge Ziying and frowned slightly.
Zhuge Ziying lowered his eyes, knowing that he had done something wrong today. He should not have allowed Jiang Yuebai and Fan Mingshan to fight. He should have pulled out the flag outside and ended the assessment before they clashed.
Zhuge Shou did not reprimand Zhuge Ziying in front of outsiders, but just said, "Take Elder Fan down to rest first."
Zhuge Shou looked at Fan Mingshan. Fan Mingshan tilted his head, his old face flushed with shame, and his eyes avoided.
"Fellow Daoist Wangshu, please follow me to the Internal Affairs Hall. Elder Mo and Ziqian will also come with you."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, and before leaving, he inadvertently looked at Zhuge Ziying. Zhuge Ziying's eyes still showed an eagerness to fight. Jiang Yuebai raised his chin slightly, his eyes showing no fear at all.
On the way to the Zhuge family's internal affairs hall, Mo Baichun pulled Jiang Yuebai to walk at the back and secretly communicated with him.
"You're great! I never realized you were so talented in puppetry."
Jiang Yuebai twitched his eyebrows proudly, "It's nothing special, it's just my practice!"
Mo Baichun sighed and continued to transmit, "You can be proud of yourself. Are you really going to develop towards the Yin-Yang School? Not to delve into the way of Yanjia? I think you are very suitable for this path."
Jiang Yuebai looked at Mo Baichun seriously. After she reshaped her legs, they were actually quite tall. She had to raise her head to look at this guy.
"Do you think there is any one that I am not suitable for?"
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were full of confidence. He raised a finger and waved it at Mo Baichun. He raised his eyebrows and smiled as he caught up with the two Zhuge family members who were walking away.
Mo Baichun stood at the back, speechless, "How shameless!"
The Internal Affairs Hall is located on the lower level of the inner city of the Zhuge family. Like the Internal Affairs Halls that Jiang Yuebai had seen in other places, it is responsible for handling various affairs of the Zhuge family. It is a whole complex of buildings, covering a large area, with various small Yanjia constantly coming in and out.
When Jiang Yuebai walked over, he first saw an extremely huge bronze Yanjia who was over a hundred feet tall at the entrance of the main hall. He was wearing a mighty armor and stood quietly in the center of the square outside the inner affairs hall like a guard.
Four huge bronze swords of the same size as it stood on both sides, carved with ancient patterns and many small characters.
This bronze armor suddenly reminded Jiang Yuebai of the bronze warrior he had seen in the secret maze of Kong Fangcheng in the Earth Spirit Realm.
Zhuge Zigan was very attentive. Seeing that Jiang Yuebai was curious, he acted as an explainer again.
"This was a gift from a good friend of the Zhuge ancestor. It is also the guardian of the Zhuge family. It has helped the Zhuge family resist several crises. It was placed here in peacetime. The four bronze swords on both sides are engraved with the battle rankings of the Zhuge family's Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul disciples."
Battle list
Jiang Yuebai was stunned. Isn’t this the same as the battle list of Tianyan Sect
Jiang Yuebai wanted to ask, but seeing Zhuge Shou was already waiting in front, he had to suppress his doubts and quickly walked into the Internal Affairs Hall.
Zhuge Shou asked for a quiet room, explained the situation, and handed Jiang Yuebai a test paper. The test paper contained all questions about the Way of Yanjia, in order to quickly understand Jiang Yuebai's level in this area so as to grade her.
Afterwards, based on her level, she will be given a direction to continue her studies and further her studies. On the other hand, this will be used to determine the level range of low-level disciples she can teach.
Being a guest elder of the Zhuge family does not mean living a life of luxury, nor can you take advantage of other people's skills for free. You must put in equivalent labor.
This was the reason why Mo Baichun asked her to memorize those books, so that her scores wouldn't be too bad when she was graded.
Jiang Yuebai felt that this series of rules of the Zhuge family was very interesting. Compared with only looking at the cultivation level, this kind of assessment was more intuitive and more efficient. It could quickly and accurately find everyone's strengths and then make full use of them.
I don’t know who came up with these rules, but they are much better than the Immortal Lord Fatian in the Doumu Realm who even takes care of everyone’s clothing and food.
The test paper was very thick and comprehensive. Jiang Yuebai took a careful look at it. In addition to the knowledge of the Yanjia Master and the Yin-Yang School, there was also the knowledge of talismans, formations, numerology, refining, and even medical knowledge about the body composition of the human body and spiritual beasts involved in the manufacturing of Yanjia.
The seemingly simple puppet path actually covers a lot of things and is by no means a simple school of cultivation.
Therefore, there are not many top puppeteers in the entire cultivation world.
Zhuge Shou personally waited aside, drinking tea with the five elders who would be responsible for grading the exam papers, and asked about the recent teaching situation in each academy.
Those five elders were the most knowledgeable elders in the Zhuge family, and they were the deans of their respective academies. They might not be the best Yanjia masters or Yin-Yang masters, but they each specialized in one thing and had been deeply engaged in it for many years, and they had a certain authority in their respective fields.
Mo Baichun and Zhuge Zigan sat beside the coffee table in the corner of the room. Zhuge Zigan poured tea for Mo Baichun, considerately and attentively.
Mo Baichun thanked him. In fact, she was very clear about Zhuge Shou's "plan". Zhuge Shou saw that she and Zhuge Zigan had some feelings for each other and had been trying to bring them together in order to get her on board the Zhuge family.
This has happened many times in the Zhuge family. Mo Baichun himself is very disgusted with such things, but Zhuge Shou did not go too far and obviously to create opportunities for them, but just let things take their course.
She could also see that Zhuge Zigan was sincere to her, without any ulterior motive or utilitarianism.
So her rejection in her heart gradually decreased, and she was happy to accept it.
But she would never be tied to the Zhuge family. When she wanted to leave, if Zhuge Zigan was unwilling to go with her, they would have to go their separate ways.
After finally rebuilding her legs, Mo Baichun plans to measure the world with her feet, walk across mountains and rivers, and become a wealthy puppeteer!
Mo Baichun sipped his tea casually, watching Jiang Yuebai writing furiously and with ease. He thought that she had actually memorized all those books in three days. Her brain was really enviable.
"After she finishes the assessment, how about she accompany me to the Armor-Making Hall?" Mo Baichun asked Zhuge Zigan.
"OK."
The two smiled at each other with tenderness.
Everyone thought that this was an assessment that would be over quickly, and no one expected that this assessment of Jiang Yuebai would eventually develop into a large-scale debate.
