A drizzle washes away the summer heat, and Nanyang City officially ushers in autumn.

Cheng Qianren meditated all night last night and went out late in the morning, so he stood in line outside the east gate of the college.The long queue is like a dragon, winding and filling the square. In addition to checking the waist badges one by one, the inspection team also checks whether the hospital uniforms are neatly worn.This scene is estimated to last until the end of the fight between the two courts.

He was not in a hurry, and looked up at the blue sky and flowing clouds.Seeing the towering library building standing in the warm autumn light, it looks beautiful and gentle.

Entering the hospital, I saw a steady stream of students coming and going, all with straight backs, walking with wind, and their mental outlook was completely new.If acquaintances meet each other, the two parties will greet each other from a distance, talking and laughing loudly.Anyone who reads it will praise Nanyuan Youth, the future pillar.

Obviously, the admission of Beilan's team to the hospital aroused the fighting spirit of Nanyuan people.

Cheng Qianren went to the barren forest behind the medical hall to practice swords as usual, and felt many eyes falling on him along the way.When he looked back in confusion, those people avoided him one after another.

In the past, some people would look at him, and they would just say a few words behind their backs, "He is Cheng Qianren", "He was originally a man who studied arithmetic in Nanshan's backyard" and "enlightened himself to Taoism overnight".Most of the time, no one said that, because Xu Ran and Lin Duzhi stood next to him, which was more worthy of being talked about.

But today's eyes are extraordinarily numerous and complex.It made him almost think that he was wearing Beilan hospital uniform.

Whether it is malicious or not, it is always uncomfortable.

On the avenue leading to the medical hall, Cheng Qianren stopped and turned around.

More than a dozen people were huddled not far behind him, whispering, caught off guard, stopped hastily, and stared at him.

It turned out to be the students in the math class.

Cheng Qianren: "Do you have something to do?"

He wasn't angry, and in the eyes of others, he was cold-eyed and distant with his sword in his arms.

So no one spoke, no one left.The atmosphere is weird.

Everyone looked at each other, at a loss, Cheng Qianren turned and left.Suddenly someone shouted: "You didn't come to the 'Lanting Banquet' last night!"

He turned around and saw a familiar classmate, who seemed to be called Zhang Shengyi.

Mr. Zhang has a wide range of friends, not only is he popular in the arithmetic class, but also has a lot of prestige in the backyard of Nanshan.With him standing up, the rest of the people seemed to have found the backbone, and they turned their backs on the aura, and echoed one after another.

'You didn't come. ' is a declarative sentence, and in such a situation, the meaning of questioning naturally arises.

There are some customary rules in the fight between the two courts.For example, the home team will welcome the away team and hold a "Orchid Court Banquet" first, taking the meaning of "Zhilan Yushu, born in the courtyard".There was no Mr. Xi at the banquet, and the students from both sides exchanged cups and cups, and sometimes they had to explore the facts and find out the truth.

After the game is over, there will be another "Zhegui Banquet", which means "Zhelan has beautiful hair, win the laurels and strive to be the first".There are many big names in attendance, and the seats of the students are arranged according to the ranking of the competition.Generally, the college will invite people with a wide reputation and high status to award awards.Last year, Beilan invited the Grand Master of the Registry and General Zhen Guo, and they gave the award speech.

Cheng Qianren thought, didn't you participate in the 'Lanting Banquet' voluntarily?Did something happen last night?

"I didn't go." He replied truthfully, "I cook at home."

As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding was silent.

On College Avenue, the westerly wind suddenly picked up, blowing the students' wide sleeves and clothes.

Their figures were also trembling in the wind, not because of the cold wind, but because of anger.The anger in everyone's eyes is like a raging fire, burning against the wind.

Zhang Shengyi took a deep breath and suppressed, "You're just cooking at home, nothing else?"

This confrontation was eye-catching, and more and more onlookers gathered, and the people behind were unwilling to leave after they found out.I don't know when, the front of the medical hall was blocked.

Someone couldn't bear it any longer and spat hard: "I told you a long time ago, there is nothing important about him... Thanks to us fighting for him!"

Cheng Qianren was stunned, I didn't touch your rice tank when I was cooking, why are you so angry?

In fact, this matter is very simple.

There have been practitioners in the backyard of Nanshan, who are quick-witted and knowledgeable.But no one has ever participated in the martial arts test, just like the martial arts practitioners of Qingshanyuan, they will not hesitate to sign up for the literary test.

Cheng Qianren was the first.

The unknown pawn who endured the ridicule and cold eyes, worked silently, and suddenly entered the Tao overnight, standing in front of thousands of people.Become a genius who is as famous as the 'Nanshan Top'.

People love stories like this.Legendary enough, majestic enough.

It seems that all the cold eyes in the past were not given by them.

"Who dares to say that there are only scholars in my Nanshan backyard, and this year we are out of martial arts! It deserves to be the No. [-] courtyard in Nanyuan!"

Especially the students in the arithmetic class felt that their faces were bright and they were elated.The long-spread "Swords and Swords Shadow Qingshanyuan, Fenghuaxueyuechunbotai, I don't know the cold and heat Xiaonanshan" will be changed to "Civil and Military Shuangquan Dananshan".

But what did Cheng Qianren do?

When he first became famous, he retreated in the library, and Xu Ran took all the engagements for him.

In the first round of the preliminary competition of the double court, all the students in the backyard of Nanshan did not go to Fengqi Pavilion to wait for the results of the essay test, but came to the shooting range to watch the battle and cheer for him.But he only took out one sword.In the second round of the preliminaries, he was lucky to draw a draw, still standing behind Xu Ran, and entered the semi-finals with only one sword strike.

He spoiled a good story, and no one was satisfied.

Contestants who did not make the cut were dissatisfied.

"That Nanshan scholar, I heard that he was timid and fearful, somehow he got the vice president's favor, and the so-called 'enlightenment overnight', most likely because of his cultivation!"

"How can he use a sword? He can only hide behind women."

The students in Nanshan Backyard were not satisfied.

"Last night at the Lanting banquet, when he needed to prove himself the most, where was he? He was actually cooking! He didn't know that 'a gentleman stays away from the kitchen'."

"If it's not for him, why should we argue with others and be ridiculed by others?"

Cheng Qianren could hear every sound clearly, but he was just silent.

From the eyes of others, it is a guilty conscience that cannot be answered.

Zhang Shengyi used to think that his knowledge and character were far superior to the opponent's, but the opponent encountered a legend and entered the Taoist practice, which was enviable.At this time, the mood was more complicated, and there was a bit of condescending pity in the eyes: so what if you become a practitioner, it is too pitiful for a practitioner to fall into such a field.

"You said earlier that you want to win the top three in the double-court fight, remember?"

Cheng Qianren was stunned: "I don't remember." It's not me who said this, but Xu Ran said it. At that time, I was choosing sword tactics in the library, who knows what happened.

In an instant, the crowd was full of voices, and the students gathered around, and all kinds of sarcasm and sarcasm without dirty words rushed to the scene, and the usually quiet Yiguanqian Street was like a busy market at Wumen.

Zhang Shengyi shook his folding fan and sighed: "You heard it too. Now you represent our class, Nanshan Backyard, and Nanyuan College. The semi-finals will be in five days. If you are still like before, you might as well abstain. You abstain, it is good for everyone ..."

The words were not finished, but the meaning was clear enough: don't throw people out of the house and bring shame to the academy.

He thought he was right.Appropriate proportion without losing the gentleman's demeanor.After all, let the road out of the way.

More people don't want to let it go.Someone shouted: "How can you live up to everyone's expectations of you?!"

Cheng Qianren glanced at him, he didn't know that person, probably never met him.

He suddenly wanted to laugh.And don't want to go.

Calmly asked back: "Why can't I?"

Although he is used to the training of life and has a precocious mind, he is still a young man after all, facing the accusations of others, he suddenly becomes hostile.

What is "everyone's expectation" worth?

Fishing for corpses on the river, fleeing from famine, and making money by settling accounts, what have I relied on to survive until now? Is it because of "everyone's expectations"?

Zhang Shengyi didn't expect him to ask this question, but everyone didn't react, and the room was silent for a while.

Holding the sword in his arms, Cheng Qianren coldly swept across every face.

"You have worked hard for ten years, cultivated bouquets of flowers, and entered Nanyuan College just to let others represent you?"

"You want honor, you want fame, you want the admiration of the entire academy, you don't want to fight yourself, but you want me to represent it? What am I, and what are you?"

He suddenly burst into a frightening manner and strode through the crowd.Wherever they went, everyone involuntarily gave way.

"You want me to represent you, but I don't."

"If I don't want to do it, no one can force me. If I don't want to listen, no one can teach me."

"I'm done. I won't abstain. What can you do now?"

There are many Nanshan students present who are outstanding in eloquence, but none of them answered him.It's just that his face was flushed, and he clenched his fists angrily.

Cheng Qianren didn't want to look any more, turned and left.

After the students came back to their senses, they began to yell, "This person is simply rude and shameless", and the sound of horseshoes and orders shouted from all directions.

"What's blocking the way? Get out of the way!"

Because the crowds gathered and the roads were blocked, the black-clothed inspection team to maintain order came, the cavalry team sent to the academy by the Southern Military Headquarters came, and the students wearing gold and white Beilan uniforms also came, rushing here Pointing.

Everyone was flustered and embarrassed, Zhang Shengyi gritted his teeth and said: "Let's leave, everyone, don't gather here, let outsiders watch the joke."

The menacing trial and questioning turned into a farce.Scattered in the autumn wind of fallen leaves without head or tail.

However, the news spread faster than the autumn wind, and spread throughout the hospital.From the medical hall to the riding and shooting range, from the Jian'an building to the guest garden where Beilan students live, everyone is familiar with this scolding battle.

In the evening, Nan Yuan's four idiots met after school, Xu Ran heard gossip while walking on the road, and was about to rush over with a knife, but luckily Cheng Qianren stopped her.

He practiced the sword for a day, and his mind was calm, and he felt more and more that he didn't need to be angry.No money and no meat, why bother?

Gu Xuejiang was in a better mood, and said to Lin Duzhi: "It's the same with us, you answer all the papers, and I will be called an idle boy hahaha."

Lin Duzhi didn't smile, and turned cold: "Who said that?"

"Hey, this proves that I'm good-looking." Gu Xuejiang thought for a while, and said shamelessly, "At least I'm prettier than Cheng San."

Cheng Qianren: "...Did something happen at the Lanting Banquet last night?"

Gu Er: "It's not a big deal. Someone started a bet on the final ranking of the double-court fighting martial arts test, and you were not ranked. Everyone in Nanshan couldn't stand it, so they bet a lot on you to be in the top ten. It is estimated that you will be in the top ten when you go back at night. Woke up with fright, and felt that you were not good enough, too regretful, and saddened for the money bag. The next day, I was depressed."

'To be expected' sounds blissful and beautiful.There are a hundred good things to say about you around you.At this time, you must be careful not to deviate from their imagination, otherwise there will be [-] accusations waiting for you.

Cheng Qianren still doesn't understand this principle, but he already feels the pain.

Xu Ran: "Isn't the academy banning gambling?"

Lin Duzhi: "The default rules, there are no taboos at the Lanting Banquet."

Cheng Qianren felt that something was wrong, as if someone was targeting them: "Is there anything else?"

Sure enough, Gu Xuejiang pulled out an invitation letter from her sleeve: "Of course."

The turn of summer and autumn should have been rainy in Nanyang City.This year's rainy season was exceptionally short.

The vermilion invitation letter for the polo match was passed steadily to Gu Xuejiang.The time is three days later.

Lin Duzhi was a little worried, and frowned slightly: "What are you going to do?"

Gu Xuejiang couldn't help teasing him: "Of course it's to bribe a sage, let him use his supernatural powers to change the day and change the day, hurry up the rain, and only give it to the shooting range."

Xu Ran: "Great idea, the Imperial Palace, Jiange, Mercy Temple, Chaoguang City... Which saint do you think is suitable? Sigh, don't want a saint, invite the Great Demon King, wouldn't it be better to fly snow all over the sky?"
