The second exam was given by Teng Luo. Some of the questions were subjective and some were objective. The content covered was immeasurable.

But Dugu Qi has Tao Mujia's magic weapon for cheating, and he won the first place again. When the results came out, everyone was talking about it. Answer.

Many disciples present who witnessed the whole process in Zangshu Pavilion yesterday turned their heads to look at Dugu Qi's bag, the suspicion in their eyes was undisguised.

This kind of suspicion is not only aimed at Dugu Qi, but also at Tao Mujia. There is an inevitable conflict of interest between the theocracy and the princes and nobles. for oneself.

This is a great opportunity to stand up. After experiencing two worlds, Tao Mujia has a deep understanding of the importance of status. At this time, it is the best time to help Dugu raise his prestige. He looks around and asks in a cold voice: " Do you have any objections to this result?"

All the disciples below whispered to each other, finally someone stood up, the manners were considered thoughtful, and the words were considered respectful.

"Since the result is determined by the Master of the State Teacher, we naturally dare not doubt it. It's just that Dugu is still young. We learned that he only dabbled in this way [-] days ago, so we are quite surprised by his rapid progress. .”

All the horizontal and vertical rows echoed in murmurs.

"The ancients said that the depth of learning does not matter. Those who have heard the truth first can be teachers. You have waited for several years and still don't understand the truth." Tao Mujia's voice was calm, but it shocked everyone. One even blushed with shame.

Some people still did not give up, stood up and asked Tao Mujia to publish Duguqi's test papers, and even more aggressive ones jumped out and asked to see if Sitiange's book collection had decreased.

Tao Mujia took a look at that person, he seemed to be the son of a certain minister, thinking about it this way, he could be regarded as a political enemy.

"Then what do you want?"

"Naturally, check Sitiange's bibliography and Duguqi's residence."

Tao Mujia seemed to see the radiant Shuangwen routine waving at him.

"Do you know that in this imperial city, except for the imperial guards, no one has the right to search Sitian Pavilion?" His calm eyes met the excited eyes of the man, and somehow he wanted to laugh.

I don't know if this person got any rumors, so he was so sure that he cheated on Dugu Qi, otherwise he could have waited until the selection was over to spread rumors, and jumped out so hastily, it was obviously planned to slap him in the face.

Everyone who had objected to this also disapproved of his behavior, and even the student who spoke at the beginning frowned and sat down.

"As for the outcome of this matter, the sect can bear it all. However, student Li disrupted the discipline of the examination room and slandered student Dugu without evidence. Sitian Pavilion cannot sit idly by."

Tao Mujia called the guards at the gate in and told them to send this man Li Sheng out of Sitian Pavilion.

The man didn't expect Tao Mujia to do such a terrific thing, he flicked his sleeves and walked out by himself.

The hall became much quieter. Tao Mujia looked at the incense used for timing. There was still half an hour of rest until Sitian Pavilion closed. Go to the pavilion to check for any book defects in person.

As for Dugu Qi's residence, Tao Mujia sent someone to talk to Lian Cha, and the news would naturally come back soon.

Tao Mujia circled all the required books without hesitation, and asked his servants to count them personally, and the results came out quickly, there were not many palaces, and there were not few pavilions.

The group of chattering students finally calmed down, no longer daring to raise any objections.

In fact, this kind of thing is not easy to grasp, Si Tiange is Tao Mujia's voice, even if Tao Mujia asks Dugu Qi to enter directly without participating in the selection, they can't talk too much, now it's just to make the process more legitimate.

1551: This kind of thing is wrong. It’s like the college entrance examination. In the end, someone got higher than you in the exam because they got the test questions in advance. Would you be convinced?

Tao Mujia: Of course, no, but is there any other way I can do it?You let the value of hope go up for me out of thin air?

1551 didn't dare to speak when he mentioned the value of hope.

In the second round, more than half were screened out, leaving only the top eleven.

Originally, only ten people were left, but in order not to damage the fairness, Tao Mujia publicly announced that Dugu Qi would be accepted as a closed disciple, directly adding one more entry quota.

After the results were announced, the others followed the servants to their dormitories. They will start their five-year study in Sitian Pavilion.

Tao Mujia called Dugu Qi to stop, and asked his servants to close the door after everyone dispersed.

There were only two people left in the huge hall, Tao Mujia raised his eyes and looked at him: "Why did you write down the answer verbatim?"

Dugu Qi leaned on crutches and lowered his head, expressionless: "There are some things, if you want to do it, you have to do it absolutely. If I don't show my absolute ability, how can I convince the crowd."

Tao Mujia felt a little funny, "You have just entered Sitian Pavilion, how can you have absolute ability? If you want to convince the public, it will be more critical in the future."

Dugu Qi looked up at him suddenly, "If I wasn't number one, wouldn't you accept me as a closed disciple?"

Tao Mujia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe, but in Sitian Pavilion, there is nothing I can't do."

The two looked at each other in silence, Tao Mujia couldn't understand Dugu Qi's eyes, there was always something hidden in this child's heart that he didn't understand.

After a while, he slowly got up, called the servants, and asked them to prepare a room for Dugu in the Ding Pavilion.

Dugu Qi asked him strangely: "Why don't you let me live with them?"

"Do you think you haven't been bullied enough? Or do you want to be 'trained' more?" Tao Mujia turned his gaze behind him, "Besides, your injury hasn't healed yet."

Dugu Qi trembled in his heart, and said thank you softly.

"You probably don't want to thank me, but you have to say thank you. I know you have grievances in your heart, but many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface." Tao Mujia looked at the young man who always clenched his fists in front of him, and finally You can reach out and pat him on the shoulder, "Come with me."

Dugu Qi nodded, and went to the Ding Pavilion with his little things and Tao Mujia.

Dugu Qi's room was arranged next to Tao Mujia's. When the two parted, Dugu Qi stood by the door and watched Tao Mujia enter the room before closing the door with peace of mind.

This is the first time Dugu Qi has left the palace in three years. He put things on the table, looked at the brand new bed, tables and chairs, and sat slowly by the bed, stroking the lines on the bed.

The injury on his back was still a little painful, he couldn't sit for a long time, he had to lie down or stand up.

The moon is bright outside, but more than half of it is missing. Open the window and you can just see the palace. Dugu Qi is not sleepy yet, so he walks to the window and looks into the distance.

Shi'an Palace is in the corner of the palace, he can't see it clearly, but he can imagine it from memory, he can't say it during the day, but at night, the feeling of loneliness really hits.

He came out and came to Sitian Pavilion. Ruan Mingzheng was still in the palace, and he didn't know how he was doing. Sitian Pavilion had a three-month vacation, and his family could visit him halfway, but Ruan Mingzheng couldn't come. He and his only relative can only see each other once in three months.

He looked at it with his face propped up for a long time, and sighed faintly, with a melancholy that shouldn't be at his age.

"How old is it, just sigh."

Dugu Qi almost threw his crutches out, turned around and saw Tao Mujia standing dignifiedly at the door.

"Master Teng..."

Tao Mujia went directly to the bed and sat down, patted the bed to signal Dugu Qi to lie beside him.

"You can call me Teng Luo in front of me, but don't call me Teng Luo in front of others. Come here and give you medicine."

Dugu Qi hesitated a little, and walked to his side with small steps.

Tao Mujia even opened the medicine bottle, seeing that he still didn't get down on the ground, and didn't look up: "Why are you hesitating, are you afraid that if I take it, you won't succeed?"

"This kind of thing, just let the servants do it."

"From Haishi to Yinshi, no servants are allowed to come in here. In the future, you have to get used to doing things yourself. If you are thirsty or hungry, go down to find food by yourself. I will take care of you now because you are injured. I won't do it in the future."

Dugu Qi nodded ignorantly, took off his shirt and lay down on the bed.

The previous medicine was still effective, and it had only been two days, and a thin layer of blood had formed on his back. Tao Mujia pressed his fingers on the reddened wound, and heard Dugu Qi's gasp.

It seemed quite painful, Tao Mujia shook his head slightly, and covered the wound bit by bit with a cotton ball dipped in medicinal powder.

His technique was very light, Dugu Qi only felt itchy on his back, but it was a little comfortable, and he fell asleep drowsily while hugging the quilt and pillow.

After Tao Mujia helped him apply the medicine, he found that he had fallen asleep, so he put the clothes on his back and covered him with a quilt.

He turned off the light and was about to go out, when suddenly he heard Dugu Qi calling him.

"Ten Luo."

"Huh?" He stood in the dark waiting for Dugu Qi's answer, but after waiting for a long time for no response, he realized that Dugu Qi was talking in his sleep, and he didn't know what the child was doing by calling his name in his dream, maybe it was resentment , perhaps gratitude.

Tao Mujia closed the door and went back to his room. He sat in the dark and meditated for a long time, opened the window and looked in the direction Dugu Qizeng was looking at.

Shi'an Palace was shrouded in black night, without any candle light.

Presumably neither Dugu Qi nor Ruan Mingzheng thought it was such a good day.

1551: Dugu Qi chooses his own path, so stop worrying about him.

Tao Mujia: I don't want to worry about him. Isn't it for destiny?

1551 was choked by him: Can you mention destiny less?Just because of this unlucky thing, I didn't give you an ooc sentence, what else do you want?

Tao Mujia thought that he actually didn't want to do anything, but remembered that Yuanyang and him were considered "relatives" back then, and the days of separation always seemed particularly difficult.

"Well... Next time, find an excuse to let him go home to visit his relatives."

1551 was silent for a moment: God damn kissing relatives...
