Martial Boss Chapter 81

Qing Yu opened the door to his room, gave a slight pause in his steps, entered as usual, turned back and closed the door, and respectfully bowed to the white-clothed scribe sitting at the guest table, “Lord Lu.”

His demeanour was very respectful, for the white-clothed scribe sitting here facing Qing Yu and pouring himself tea was none other than Lu Qifeng, one of the Four Divine Constables of the Six Sects of the Great Qian – the Wind Chasing Divine Constable.

Of course, to Qing Yu, his more important identity was that of the man who held his hand.

The relationship between Lu Qifeng and Qing Yu is like the relationship between Qing Yu and Feng Jiu. The situation is different, but the essence is the same: one side is holding the other.

Qing Yu had just finished knocking Feng Jiu, who was in the wrong position, a few days ago, and did not want to be knocked by Lu Qifeng again. Therefore, it is necessary to set oneself in the right posture. There was no shame in judging the situation and lowering one’s stature.

“Congratulations on your initiation, Meng Da Cai Zi.”

Xu was satisfied with Qing Yu’s gesture, and Lu Qifeng did not make any move to knock Qing Yu, but instead said congratulations with a teasing smile.

Five days had pa*sed since the entrance examination of the Shanhe Academy, and today was the day when the entrance list was announced. It was also because he thought that since he had already been initiated, it was time for the Department Six people to contact him that Qing Yu returned from Feng Jiu’s residence. It was just that he didn’t expect that the person he would be contacting would be Lu Qifeng himself.

“Lord Lu is joking, I still know how much weight my subordinate has. With the ink in my chest alone, it would be a bit difficult to get into an ordinary academy, not to mention the Shanhe Academy.” Qing Yu laughed.

To be a qualified Daoist priest, Qing Yu was still somewhat confident. The Yin Yang family came from the Daoist family, and Qing Yu had read the texts of the Yin Yang family day and night these days, so he still knew something about the relevant aspects.

As for being a qualified scholar, let’s forget it. It was not bad to be able to write down some poems in his previous life, and it was hard for Qing Yu to write ancient cursives.

Although in his previous life Qing Yu was interested in literature and once almost read liberal arts, most of what he read then was Mr. Lu Xun, and what he studied was basically the profound meanings behind his various actions. (PS: The author only remembers Mr. Lu Xun now.)

“I heard that you are now very close to the ninth prince of Northern Zhou?” Lu Qifeng suddenly changed the subject and asked.

“Yes, my lord. Feng Jiu is incredibly literate and most approachable, and being close to him will allow him to act better in the Shanhe Academy.” Qing Yu said hastily.

“The problem with getting close to Feng Jiu is greater than the benefits, he is an imperial son and is naturally the focus of all eyes. If he is not yet in power, he does not bring you any convenience.” Lu Qifeng slowly swirled the cup of tea in his hand and said in a salty manner.

Here it comes, Qing Yu said in his heart.

He knew that he had already violated the taboo by contacting the prince of Northern Zhou privately, and if he couldn’t tell the truth, Lu Qifeng’s knocking would follow.

“It is precisely because Feng Jiu is not in power that I can show that I have no utilitarian intentions, and that my friendship with him is only out of the sympathy of a literati.”

“There’s no such thing as sympathy for the literati,” Lu Qifeng said, laughing, “Haven’t you heard of the saying ‘the literati treat each other lightly’? Literati are much more combative than us martial artists.”

“Forget it, let’s count you as having pa*sed. I don’t know what you have in mind when you approach Feng Jiu, but as long as you do good deeds and don’t endanger my Department Six, I don’t mind if you have your own selfish motives, after all, who doesn’t have some selfish motives? Can you understand if I say this?” Lu Qifeng looked deeply at Qing Yu.

“Of course,” Qing Yu nodded, “the buttocks determine the head, of course I will put myself in the right position. My lord, don’t forget that my subordinate is also a member of Department Six, so naturally I will not endanger Department Six.”

“What I appreciate most is your grasp of the mind, whether it is someone else’s or your own. This is also the reason why I sent you to the Mountain River Academy on a mission. Do you know why I didn’t send those experienced secret trappers from Department Six, but instead gave the task to you, a novice who isn’t even necessarily trustworthy?” Lu Qifeng laughed.

“I would like to hear more about it.”

“The Shanhe Academy is all about cultivating a breath of Hao Ren Qi, and its mountain master, Meng Shanhe, is a great master of this path. When these scholars who cultivate the qi of hao-nan gather together, they will exert a kind of spiritual suppression on those who have evil intentions.

If you live in such an environment for a long time, you will be mentally depressed and even a blind man will be able to see that you have a ghost. The only people who are immune to this kind of mind suppression are those who are above the Divine Origin realm. But there is no one in this world who is less than 20 years old.

And once the divine origin realm enters the Mountain River Academy, it will be sensed by the Meng Mountain Master who has long incorporated his aura into the Mountain River Academy. So ——”

“So, you can only find people who can mediate their minds and adapt to this environment, right?” Qing Yu excused himself.

The threshold for entry into the Mountain River Academy was under twenty years old. And at the age of twenty, one could be considered a genius if they could reach the Innate Realm, and the Divine Origin Realm was even more unthinkable.

Nowadays, there is a special ranking for the younger generation, the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking for short, and those who rank first are not at the Divine Origin Realm.

Even if you look for shameless old generation experts pretending to be young, you will be sensed by Meng Shanhe when you enter the academy.

“Not bad, you stayed alone on the mountain for three years at a young age. During that time there was no one to communicate with, and after three years, not only did you not have any spiritual problems, your mind was surprisingly sharpened to the point where you were more sophisticated than some old journeymen, just the right person for the job.” Lu Qifeng nodded his head and said.

How was it that another terrier who stayed on the mountain for three years, was this so rare? Qing Yu thought a little helplessly.

Well, it was a bit rare, and only Qing Yu had the maturity of mind of an adult, self-regulating to reduce stress. A normal child would be out of touch with the world below, regardless of whether he or she would have mental problems after three years on a deserted mountain.

Qing Yu, like this, is completely different.

“If you can lurk in the Mountain River Academy and complete the task explained to you. Regardless of your identity, I promise in the name of the Wind Chasing Divine Constable that I will accept you as one of Department Six’s own.” Lu Qifeng said in a solemn voice.

‘No, no, no, actually I don’t care to be one of your own at all.’

Naturally, Qing Yu would not be moved by this one promise, which was nothing more than a blank cheque. But superficial efforts were still necessary.

Qing Yu immediately had an expression of liver and brain, pledging his loyalty to the death, and said, “My subordinate will definitely complete the task.”

“Very well.” Lu Qifeng was satisfied with Qing Yu’s actions and nodded his head in satisfaction, at least on the surface.

“Next, I will explain to you about this mission,” Lu Qifeng said, “You should know that the founding emperor of my Great Qian Dynasty once belonged to the same Confucian school as Meng Shanhe of the Shanhe Academy.”
