The spiritual bird alighted on Ye Wushuang’s shoulder, and immediately a voice rang out.
“Hey, you rascal! You were supposed to be punished in the Qingliao Tower at the academy. You’ve been home for more than ten days. Are you even still a student of Qingyun Academy?”
The voice of Li Changqing.
Ye Wushuang shrugged his shoulders and replied with a hint of helplessness, “I’ve been too busy. I’ll go back and accept the punishment once I’ve sorted everything out!”
The spiritual bird, as if receiving a command, spread its wings and soared high into the sky, quickly vanishing from sight.
Within Qingyun Academy, in a secluded valley, Li Changqing had been obsessed these past ten days, practicing his swordsmanship day and night, much like Elder Tang Chuyi not long ago.
A spiritual bird descended and spoke, “I’ve been too busy. I’ll go back and accept the punishment once I’ve sorted everything out!”
Hearing this lazy and lackadaisical voice, Li Changqing cursed loudly, “You good-for-nothing! He acts as if he’s coming back to receive a reward!”
“Hey, Li, what’s gotten you so angry?”
Tang Chuyi appeared in the valley, chuckling and saying, “I heard from Shangguan Rong and Bu Chenfeng that Ye Wushuang demonstrated a sword technique for you. How did it go? Any improvement?”
Li Changqing snorted, “Mind your own business.”
“Come on, don’t be so impatient. Not everyone is like me, with a profound understanding of the Way of the Sword and a unique talent!”
“Like you?” Li Changqing sneered. “If it weren’t for Ye Wushuang’s sword technique, would you have achieved a perfect sword intent? Stop boasting to me.”
Li Changqing paused his practice and said again, “So, what’s the matter?”
“What else could it be?” Tang Chuyi sat down nearby and complained, “The trial of the new students at Lingyun Mountain has ended, and the annual Tayan Competition for the inner academy students is about to begin.”
The Tayan List!
It consists of a hundred names.
The disciples on the list are undoubtedly the top hundred in the vast inner academy of Qingyun.
Almost all of them are at the eighth or ninth level of the Condensing Meridians stage.
Even the top ten are all heavenly pride who can step into the Yuanfu stage at any time.
Tang Chuyi continued, “The academy holds these trials for new students every year, and the veterans are also being trained. It’s quite troublesome.”
“Has the location for this year’s Tayan Competition been decided?”
Every year, the Tayan Competition is different. Sometimes it’s a tournament on a platform, and sometimes it’s a trial in the mountains to hunt spiritual beasts. In any case, it’s all to update the list and keep the students motivated.
Li Changqing immediately said, “I’ll ask Mu Yunxuan, Bai Li Moxuan, and Feng Luochen later to see what they think.”
“Time… let’s set it for a month from now!”
“Deal!”
Tang Chuyi continued, “This time, let Ye Wushuang participate as well.”
“If that rascal joins, it’ll be a bloodbath. The Five Great Families have been after him, haven’t they? Let the boy kill a few more.”
Li Changqing sighed, “You old man, you’re really something.”
“Me, bad??” Tang Chuyi snorted, “The Five Great Families have been too arrogant in recent years. What has become of our Qingyun Academy? If we don’t deal with them, Qingyun will lose its title as the number one academy.”
“I understand.”
Li Changqing watched Tang Chuyi leave and smiled.
“Ye Wushuang… it’s not bad to stir up some trouble…”
In the Eastern District of the Imperial Capital, within the Ye Mansion.
The sun set in the west.
Ye Wushuang called Ye Feifei over.
“What’s up, big brother?” Ye Feifei asked curiously.
“I’m now a student of Qingyun Academy. I can’t stay at home forever.”
Ye Wushuang continued, “I asked Mu Qiqi, and there’s an academy in the Imperial Capital called the Qingtian Academy, which is specifically for cultivating the martial foundation of boys and girls aged ten to fifteen.”
“I’ve enrolled you. In a few days, you can report there and start building a foundation for your martial path.”
But Ye Feifei said, “Uncle He can teach me, and there’s also Third Uncle…”
“No way.”
Ye Wushuang flatly refused.
