Chapter 0008: The Focus of Attention

The stands on both sides were filled to capacity, with prominent figures from Qingzhou City and some parents of students having arrived in advance to witness the ceremony

At the age of fifteen, her beauty is already so enchanting; in three more years, she will bring disaster to the nation and its people. Someone in the audience exclaimed in astonishment, and what is even more terrifying is that this young girl possesses exceptional talent. Some prominent figures are even aware of her remarkable background.

"Let us go." Hua Jieyu turned and walked outside

It is normal; given her identity and talent, it is likely that no one of the same age in Qingzhou City would be worthy of her attention. Murong Qiu should have officially enrolled in the palace last year, which has wasted quite a bit of time. Someone beside responded, and that prominent figure nodded.

You can now practice simple spells

Young Master Murong Qiu of the Murong Chamber of Commerce has already awakened to the ninth level of the Unity Realm and is fully qualified to become an official disciple. It is rumored that his delay in joining is due to his desire to secure an undisputed first place in the autumn examination. However, this time should be his final attempt

Hua Jieyu did not pay any attention

"On that day, after you were attacked, the Qingzhou Academy claimed it was an attack by a demon python," Yu Sheng said in Ye Futian's ear. Ye Futian nodded to indicate he understood, while his gaze fell on a certain spot in the stands, a smile appearing on his face.

Indeed, there has been some progress; otherwise, I would not have participated in this autumn examination

... ...

"There is no time left, let's participate in the autumn examination first," Ye Futian said

Yang Xiu ranked second in the civil examination for three years; this time, it is uncertain whether he can shake the status of Hua Jieyu

The reason she is considered legendary, aside from her unparalleled beauty, is that she has ranked first in the civil examinations every spring and autumn, ever since her first year in the academy.

Is father coming?" Ye Futian's eyes flickered, and he nodded with a smile. Well then, this time, let's give the old man a surprise

Those who cannot enter will also be waiting at the outer gate, eager to know which remarkable names will emerge in this year's autumn imperial examination.

"Uncle Feng." Ye Futian rubbed his brow, feeling somewhat disordered

Awakening the sixth level, the unparalleled realm. Yu Sheng looked at Ye Futian, not only had he obtained the power of thunder, but he had also broken through the realm

"You actually care about your reputation?" Ye Baichuan stared wide-eyed at his son, fully aware of just how thick-skinned this guy was.

In a certain direction of the stands, a group of people was seated together. Ye Baichuan was chatting with a middle-aged man not far from him. Upon seeing Ye Futian approaching, he could not help but exclaim loudly: "I heard that you are going to participate in the autumn imperial examination this time. I came here personally to witness it. If you embarrass me too much, don't ever say that you are my son, Ye Baichuan."

"Not only is there nothing wrong, but..." Ye Futian smiled, and immediately, lightning flickered around him, producing crackling sounds, as strands of lightning danced around him at will

The young girl before us is none other than the legendary girl of Qingzhou Academy, Hua Jieyu

Every year during the autumn examination at the Qīngzhōu Academy, many prominent figures come to Qīngzhōu City, along with the family elders of the students, all of whom are qualified to attend the academy's ceremonies.

She truly is a marvel. Ye Futian also noticed Hua Jieyu, who captured everyone's attention as soon as she entered the venue. No one else could achieve such a presence.

In front, on the steps, many formal disciples of the academy appeared, along with the instructors from the Qingzhou Academy

"Have you ever been in love?" Ye Futian said again, "If you do not answer, I will take it as a default affirmation."

"In the hot summer days, how has your training been recently? Have you made any progress?" asked Feng Ruhai.

"Dong, dong, dong." As if in response to his words, the bell of the Qingzhou Academy rang out, echoing through the heavens and the earth

"Yusheng, this time, I look forward to your performance," Feng Ru Hai said, looking at Yusheng.

Could it be that the dragon's essence entering the body has instead benefited Ye Futian

"Don't pretend with me, kid. Did you offend my daughter-in-law somewhere?" Ye Baichuan asked Ye Futian, who was taken aback and turned his gaze towards the middle-aged man not far from him. Beside him, Feng Qingxue sat quietly, not looking this way.

Ye Baichuan, when did I ever agree to anything with you? Stop trying to forge connections with me.

Many people around the stands were chatting casually. Although today was just a written examination, the guests who arrived still appeared very enthusiastic. For practitioners in the initial stages, the importance of knowledge is on par with talent. Establishing a solid foundation for cultivation, those who possess extensive knowledge in cultivation often have the opportunity to overcome the strong with the weak

Hua Jieyu paused in place, seemingly searching for a spot. After a moment, she lifted her foot and walked in a certain direction. Many of the students who were already seated felt a bit nervous upon seeing Hua Jieyu pass by, subtly hoping that she would sit beside them; however, this was merely a thought.

Well, Uncle Ye has heard that you will be participating in the autumn imperial examination, and he will come to witness the event this time

A few days ago, Ye Futian's pursuit of Feng Qingxue was rejected. On the same day, Feng Qingxue teamed up with Murong Qiu for a trial. Ye Futian, provoked by this, ascended the mountain and was subsequently attacked and injured by a demon python. This incident has already spread widely, and now this legendary figure has become even more legendary.

"The Flower Speaks." At that moment, a young girl strolled into the venue, instantly capturing countless gazes

With a witty smile, he sipped his tea and looked at Ye Futian, saying: "Both passing on knowledge and teaching can be called a master. In the future, if you wish to learn anything, you can come to me; it would not be an exaggeration to call me teacher."

No. Hua Jieyu lightly bit her lip, staring at Ye Futian

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I have never paid much attention to these formalities. The autumn imperial examination is about to begin, so you should return and prepare for it."

I have not changed my clothes yet," Ye Futian said, and the long robe he was wearing should belong to his teacher

Today is the autumn examination? Ye Futian was taken aback, having slept for such a long time?

"Teacher, she is extremely beautiful, almost like a fairy," Ye Futian explained with a smile. The middle-aged man and Hua Jieyu clearly had an unusual relationship, so he naturally had to say flattering words

"You are truly shameless," Hua Jieyu said before turning and leaving

"So beautiful," praised a student from the Qingzhou Academy.

The outsiders are engaged in heated discussions, surprisingly familiar with the outer disciples of the Qingzhou Academy, as if they were recounting cherished family stories. This reflects the considerable influence of the Qingzhou Academy in Qingzhou City.

Ye Futian gazed at the silhouette of Hua Jieyu, a radiant smile curving at the corners of his mouth

"Jie Yu, you send off the hot days," said the middle-aged man. Hua Jie Yu glanced at Ye Fu Tian, only to see a hint of pride on his face.

"I heard you are the Destiny Mage, is that true?" Ye Futian asked again, still receiving no response

However, this fellow is truly resilient; he emerged unscathed after being attacked by the demon python

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire city is focused on this matter

Many people looked towards Hua Jieyu's side, secretly cursing which lucky fellow it was. The moment the crowd saw the person beside Hua Jieyu, time seemed to pause, countless expressions on people's faces froze, and their emotions became chaotic in the wind

It is said that that kid Murong Qiu has failed. " From the stands, a prominent figure of the Murong Chamber of Commerce looked at the stunning young girl and said in a low voice, appearing somewhat disappointed

Hmm. Yu Sheng's demeanor is somewhat indifferent

None of them are acceptable

"Alright, you all go down and prepare," Feng Ruhai said casually. A few of them nodded, and Ye Futian and Yu Sheng turned to leave. After that, Feng Qingxue went down from another direction.

Do not forget the steward's son, Yu Sheng, from the Ye residence; he must not be underestimated. If it were not for that dandy from the Ye family, he would have likely become a formal disciple of the academy in this year's spring examination, and he is only fifteen years old.

What is going on with these little ones? Are they in a conflict?" Ye Baichuan furrowed his brow. Ye Futian and Feng Qingxue usually bicker when they are together, but this time it was unusual; they didn't say a word.

Today, the Qingzhou Academy is livelier than usual, with a continuous influx of people gathering outside the academy's main gate

Understood. Ye Futian nodded with a smile

At this moment, in the drill ground, there are three thousand tables arranged neatly, creating a magnificent scene

Ye Futian changed his clothes, and then the two of them left the courtyard, heading towards the training ground

The legendary girl Hua Jieyu from the Qingzhou Academy ranked first in the literary examination for three consecutive years, possessing exceptional talent in cultivation. It remains to be seen what astonishing performance she will deliver this time.

"Let's go." With a flash of his figure, Ye Futian walked towards the stands

"The misfortune of the family." Ye Futian said, supporting his forehead, feeling dejected

Ye Futian returned to the courtyard, and upon seeing him return safely, Yu Sheng felt relieved. He looked at him and asked, "Are you alright?"

The young girl is dressed simply, yet she still shines brilliantly, unmatched by anyone.

The students of the Qingzhou Academy entered one after another, each selecting their own positions, creating a rather spectacular scene

Ye Futian and Yu Sheng also entered the venue, choosing a spot to sit side by side. As they watched the students continuously entering, Ye Futian took a deep breath. This was his first time participating in the autumn imperial examination since entering the academy, and his heart felt a slight ripple.

Hua Jieyu paused her steps, and Ye Futian turned to look at her. The morning sunlight fell upon the girl's radiant face, and that faint smile astonished time itself

"Disciple Ye Futian has come to pay respects to the teacher." Ye Futian bowed once again

Ye Futian had a dark expression on his face as he looked at the rugged middle-aged man and said, "Could you please give me a little face in front of so many people?"

Ye Futian raised his head and gazed into the distance, finally, has it begun

I do not have it either, it is fate. Ye Futian looked at Hua Jieyu's angry expression and smiled brightly.

The middle-aged man beside him looked at Ye Futian with confusion, while Hua Jieyu shot Ye Futian a glare with her beautiful eyes

At last, Hua Jieyu's footsteps came to a halt, and the gazes of the crowd followed suit. In the next moment, the stunning young woman who had captivated countless eyes slowly took her seat

Although the autumn examination is attended by a group of young boys, the oldest of whom is merely eighteen, it is undeniable that many of these outstanding youths who perform well in the autumn examination will become significant figures in Qingzhou City in the future. Those renowned individuals who have come to Qingzhou City also participated in the autumn examination of the Qingzhou Academy here, just like many students did back then

"Go back and change yourself." Hua Jieyu's voice was cold. Ye Futian caught up and said, "Should I address you as Senior Sister or Junior Sister?"

The arrival of Ye Futian attracted the attention of many, and numerous individuals looked at him with peculiar expressions.

Hua Jieyu gazed at her father with beautiful eyes, surprised that he, who had not taken a disciple for many years, made an exception today for Ye Futian. Could it be that he holds such high hopes for his talent?

"It is good to make progress. Young people should strive to cultivate themselves and not be like your father, who is full of nonsensical thoughts," Feng Ruhai glared at Ye Baichuan and said.

Then I will continue to call you a fairy. " Ye Futian shrugged indifferently and asked, " Fairy, what is your current cultivation level?
