Chen Mobai tried calling Qing Nu, but she didn’t pick up.
Searching for her at the stop where she got off was like looking for a needle in a haystack, yielding no results.
At that moment, he resented himself for not getting off the bus with her and accompanying her home.
It wasn’t until his spiritual power was depleted and he could no longer maintain the Propulsion Technique that Chen Mobai, panting heavily, sat down on a roadside stone, thinking of all the information he had about Qing
Nu.
“That’s right, she’s a student at the First High School of the Immortal Sect. She should be at school right now.”
Chen Mobai had taken leave today. He checked the time and found that it was supposed to be the free usage time of the school’s Cultivation Room. If that was the case, Qing Nu’s phone must have been on do-not-disturb mode.
Once his spiritual power had somewhat recovered, he got on a bus heading towards the First High School of the Immortal Sect.
“If none of you have any issues, let’s go with this year’s examination paper.” At the top of the Spiritual Peak, True Man in Red Robe made the final decision after coordinating everyone’s opinions on site.
“Yuan He, you take these comments and make the necessary amendments.” Yuan He, who was in charge of preparing the questions, immediately stood up and nodded upon hearing the words of the True Man. He then collected the papers that representatives from the four major Daoist Academies and several instructional academies had amended.
!!..
“Then, I’ll take my leave.”
“Sure.”
After Yuan He left, the True Man in Red Robe began to discuss the main topic of the day.
“What special tricks are you planning for the entrance exams for your Daoist academies and instructional academies this year?
The academic ability reflected by the college entrance examination results was used to filter out those without wisdom roots. Once the college entrance examination scores meet the standard, they could apply to the Four Major Daoist Academies and the Ten Learning Palaces according to the scoreline.
Only after these fourteen selections were completed, then it would be the turn for places like Red Mist Crimson Bead.
The Four Major Daoist Academies and Ten Learning Palaces conducted either joint or separate entrance exams every year.
However, to save public resources, the exams were usually held jointly. During one single assessment, various checkpoints were set up, and scores were assigned according to everyone’s performance. If there was a student the Four Major Daoist Academies found impressive, naturally, they were given priority to choose. If there were two academies interested in the same student, it would then be up to the student to decide.
However, such situations had never happened in Red Sandstone City. Only the top-ranking major planetary realms would have spiritual seeds that made the Four Major Daoist Academies vie for them.
“This year, we received instructions from above, so there’s no need for me to rack my brain. Have a look, True Man. This is the response from the dean.” Lan Haitian was the first to speak up. He handed a letter to the True Man in Red Robe with a smile, who took it and remarked in surprise after reading it.
“That’s strange. How did the old fogey come up with this?”
A young man in a white suit furrowed his brow, but he also took out a letter. His teacher had given it to him when he left the Daoist Academy, specifying this year’s entrance exam content.
“True Man, this is from our department head.
The True Man in Red Robe took it, and his eyes widened in disbelief. He then looked up at the other representatives of the Daoist Academies.
The rest hesitated for a moment before all taking out their letters. With a flick, all the letters fell into the hands of the True Man in Red Robe, who already finished reading the contents with his Divine Consciousness Leaving Body, his face betraying his disbelief.
“This is truly a rare kind of entrance exam.
After reading all the similar content on the letters, the expression of the True Man in Red Robe finally settled. As a Gold Core True Man, he also noticed some implications from this entrance exam.
“I see. Let’s arrange it this way. Let’s choose my Cinnabarite Institute as the venue.”
After the True Man in Red Robe finished speaking, the representatives of several instructional academies first rose to bid their leave, followed by the Four Major Daoist Academies.
After everyone had left the mountain, a woman’s voice echoed from the wooden house at the top of the Spiritual Peak.
“Thank you, True Man Yu.”
“I now understand why you’re hiding. Did you know this all along?
“I guess so. But I really am at a critical stage in my cultivation and can’t move at all, so I can only trouble you.”
“Fine, I’ll take over the matters regarding the college entrance examination, but as for the Legal Department involved, you should handle it yourself, senior.”
After the True Man in Red Robe finished speaking, one of the people who had gone down the mountain returned.
“Legal Department’s Lan Haitian pays his respects to both True Men.”
Lan Haitian, who had met Chen Mobai twice, respectfully greeted the True Man in Red Robe and True Man Shi Qing in the wooden house, his expression serious.
“I was wondering why the Kunpeng Daoist Academy would let you, a Gold Core cultivator, come to Red Sandstone City to handle the matter of an entrance exam. Speak, is it the order from the Daoist Academy or from the Hall Master?” The True Man in Red Robe, as a Gold Core Cultivator, had also heard of Lan Haitian’s infamous reputation. He was renowned as one of the next generation geniuses most likely to form a Core Formation alongside Qiongzhi Fairy from the Nature Studies Academy.
Because Lan Haitian was also a Legal official of one of the three major temples of the Immortal Sect, his reputation even ranked higher than that of the hardworking Ice Spirit Root talent from the Nature Studies Academy.
“It’s the Hall Master’s order.”
In front of the two Gold Core True Men, Lan Haitian answered truthfully, without any concealment.
“What is the matter?”
The True Man in Red Robe asked again.
-We discovered that there is a cultivator practicing Forbidden Techniques and he needs to be arrested immediately.”
“Well, then I’ll take off.”
Upon hearing the words ‘Forbidden Techniques,’ the True Man in Red Robe immediately shook his head. Being a person fully devoted to cultivation, he didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of the Legal Department. Adjusting his Escaping Light, he vanished from the top of the Spiritual Peak.
“Since it’s the Hall Master’s order, feel free to proceed. I’ll also send a message to the local department for their cooperation.”
“Thank you, True Man.”
LHaitian delivered a document into the wooden house, and after True Man Shi Qing had checked the handwriting and the stamps, he agreed to his mission in Red Sandstone City.
“Try not to disturb the citizens. Arrest and try him quickly.”
“Understood.”
Evergreen Pharmacy.
After Gu Changfeng closed the door, he was refining medicine when the alarm formation set up by Qing Nu at the entrance rang, notifying him of someone’s arrival.
“Breaking into private residences is a crime.”
Gu Changfeng spoke coldly to the visitor.
“Rest assured. I have all the necessary documents. It’s not a crime.”
The sound of Lan Haitian’s voice startled Gu Changfeng, his actions frozen. He slowly turned around, seeing the arrest warrant in the latter’s hand, and his demeanor slumped.
“How did you find me?”
“As they say, if you want to avoid criticism, don’t act. You hid pretty well, but given time, some of those who entered the Purple Cloud Palace back then would inevitably try Forbidden Techniques. As soon as someone exposes a flaw, doesn’t that prove that your testimonies back then were all false?” Upon hearing those words, Gu Changfeng couldn’t help but curse angrily, “A group of useless people! We should have never trusted them in the first place.” With a bang, a group of about ten Law Enforcement Cultivators in blue-black uniforms stormed in. The lead cultivator, once seeing Lan Haitian, respectfully reported.
“Mr. Lan, we’ve set up arrays around the vicinity and have also evacuated the surrounding residents.”
“Good, leave the rest to me.”
Lan Haitian nodded. A dark silver chain flicked out from his sleeve and landed in his palm. But to his surprise, Gu Changfeng simply surrendered without a fight.
“Why aren’t you resisting?”
“I understand law. Practicing Forbidden Techniques at most results in 60 years of imprisonment. If I resist and you kill me, I won’t even be able to claim injustice.”
Gu Changfeng allowed Lan Haitian to cuff him..
