The weather was surprisingly good during the day.
The sky was as blue as if it had been washed. There was not a single cloud in it.
The air was filled with a strange atmosphere that could only be felt by the big shots in Cloudy Dream City.
When Lin Beichen was once again asleep in the class, Lin Xueyin, the most beautiful girl in the class, quietly approached him and gently poked him with her finger. She said, “Lin Beichen, someone is looking for you.”
Lin Beichen raised his head in a daze and turned around.
He saw a little girl standing at the door of the classroom, who was 1.5 meters tall and waving at him.
“Whose kid is this?”
For a moment, he did not respond.
Bai Qinyun, who was standing at the door of the classroom, looked a little angry on her cute face at that moment.
Although she was not narcissistic, she was one of the influential figures in the college. Seeing that Lin Beichen had no impression of her, she was speechless instantly.
“In today’s sword test, Dean Chu has already left for the Mansion of the City Governor in advance. Before leaving, he asked me to go with you.” She said expressionlessly.
“Oh?”
Lin Beichen rubbed his eyes. Only then did he remember that this little girl was the No.1 in the freshman year, Bai Qinyun. On that day in the Sword-honing Venue, she risked her life taking an invitation and was also qualified to participate in the sword test.
“Let’s go.”
He wiped away his saliva and walked out of the classroom.
After a moment.
The carriage roared out of the Third College.
Lying in the carriage, Lin Beichen was sleepy, about to fall asleep again.
Bai Qinyun sat by him, full of anger.
After several attempts to talk with Lin Beichen, he just made an ambiguous statement. It was obvious that the first men in the news in the Third College didn’t want to have too much contact with her.
“Am I not beautiful?
“Or are my breasts not big enough?
“Or are my legs not long enough?
“Is my butt not warped enough?
“No, I’m so excellent except for my height.”
She was full of grievances in her heart. While touching her own corresponding parts, she secretly complained.
It was said that Lin Beichen used to be a lustful scumbag and playboy. Today, he was in the same carriage with her, but he didn’t care about her at all. He didn’t even want to chat with her or flirt with her at all. This made Bai Qinyun, who always confidently believed herself as a little beauty, feel as if she had been greatly insulted.
There was a look of adventurous madness flashing in the aloof little girl’s eyes. Just as she was hesitating whether to take the initiative to verify her charm, the carriage suddenly stopped.
“Here we are.”
The voice of the coachman came from outside.
Lin Beichen instantly sobered up, pushed the car door open, and got out.
The Mansion of the City Governor was right in front of them.
This was the first time he came to the Mansion of the City Governor since he came to this world, so he couldn’t help but take a good look at it with curiosity.
Very grand.
Very splendid.
It was like the Forbidden City.
There were warriors on duty on both sides of the main entrance.
After the guards checked the invitation, a servant dressed in cyan, who had been waiting on one side for a long time, came up and led the two into the mansion.
The Mansion of the City Governor covered an extremely large area.
The buildings in the mansion were magnificent, with pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and plants, as well as fountains and pools. They were antique and elegant. Obviously, some experts were specially invited to design the scenery during the establishment.
Walking in such a garden, Lin Beichen wanted to say something graceful.
But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he was lost for words.
So he had to say in his heart, “Freaking awesome!”
The accurate address of the banquet for the sword test was in the back garden of the Mansion of the City Governor.
They walked along the long corridor aside, and when they arrived in the back garden, it had been already very busy and crowded here.
There was still about an hour left before the start of the test.
However, most of the guests who had received the invitations had already arrived early to show their respect.
The 36 invitations were divided into three groups, respectively for the bigwigs in the city, the masters of swordsmanship, and the geniuses of swordsmanship. Anyone of them was a well-known figure in the Cloudy Dream City, and they looked either serious, domineering, or youthful and energetic. In twos and threes, they gathered together and discussed something in a low voice.
“Hehe, you are Lin Beichen from the Third College, right? You are finally here.”
A sudden laugh sounded.
The speaker was a young man who seemed to be only 16 or 17 years old.
He had light brown skin, dressed in purple cotton-padded clothes, and wore a thumb-sized white oval jade on his forehead. He was indeed a young, handsome, and cool man. Standing at the entrance of a pavilion by the pond, he took the initiative to wave at Lin Beichen and said, “Lin Beichen, why are you still in a daze? Come over to salute to Senior Brother Cao of Baiyun City, who is also a talent from our Cloudy Dream City.”
In the pavilion.
Cao Potian sat at the host seat around the round table, with a casual expression and a faint smile on his handsome face.
Another nine people of the same age were either sitting or standing. They were all imposing and could be considered as the best among the young generation of Cloudy Dream City, but all of them, quite respectfully, surrounded Cao Potian like stars around the moon. Even if they were carefully hiding the smile on their faces, it was inevitable that they would show their respect and awe for the talent of the Baiyun City.
As soon as the boy in purple opened his mouth, the other ones in the pavilion immediately turned to look at Lin Beichen.
Different from many ordinary students, the teenagers who were qualified to appear here were all geniuses of the major colleges. They had high status in their respective colleges or groups, so they were so well-informed that they had already known what had happened in the preliminary for the sophomores, so they naturally paid great attention to Lin Beichen.
Some of these geniuses even regarded Lin Beichen as their imaginary enemy in the sword test tonight.
Therefore, they all carefully looked at Lin Beichen with great hostility, as if they were a few rulers strictly measuring Lin Beichen.
Cao Potian looked at Lin Beichen with sarcasm while playing with a white jade glass.
Lin Beichen glanced at the pavilion, ignored them, and turned to find Ding Sanshi in the crowd.
It was necessary to find the old teacher, ask him about his situation, and express his concern.
The young man in purple looked a little embarrassed when he saw this. He said again, “Lin Beichen, I’m talking to you. Did you hear me? The one sitting in this pavilion is Senior Brother Cao, the talent of the Baiyun City which is the holy land of swordsmanship in the Empire. He is the idol of all the young men of swordsmanship in the Cloudy Dream City. Why don’t you quickly come here to salute to him?”
Lin Beichen still ignored him.
He looked around and continued to look for the old teacher.
At this moment, the young man in purple was truly annoyed.
“The one surnamed Lin, are you deaf?”
He rushed straight over, stared at Lin Beichen, and said, “I order you to come into the pavilion immediately and apologize to Senior Brother Cao.”
Lin Beichen rubbed his forehead helplessly.
“Why are there so many bitches in this world? It’s okay if you’re a dog, but why do you have to force others to be also dogs?”
“I’m busy. Get away from me. Don’t cause trouble to me.” He said bluntly.
The boy in purple was furious. “How dare you talk to me like this?”
