In martial arts cultivation, people all care about their reputations.
Lin Feng, if the test was truly unsuccessful and he was named and criticized for it, he should have left on his own accord. But Lin Feng didn't.
Moreover, when everyone was looking at him with strange expressions and even insulting him, he still smiled and asked for another chance. In that smile, there was genuine indifference.
Therefore, it is only in middle age that one realizes that Lin Feng was not lacking in dignity but rather being stubborn. Those who are stubborn can persist; those with firm willpower can disregard such things.
The crowd was slightly surprised. The teacher, actually, was willing to give Lin Feng another chance. Judging from the teacher's tone, it seemed that she was somewhat convinced of Lin Feng.
"Thank you, teacher."
Lin Feng nodded slightly at the middle-aged man. He also developed a faint liking for this teacher. The teacher was approachable, with gentle eyes and no trace of arrogance in his demeanor.
"I'm about to start playing. This time, only you will be able to hear it."
The middle-aged man said softly, and then, the melodious sound of the music was emitted again. But just as the middle-aged man had said, this time, not a single person in the crowd heard the music piece. The teacher, was able to control the sound of the music and it actually reached Lin Feng's ears completely.
"Very impressive."
The crowd murmured an inward approval. Their teacher had never shown such a thing in front of them before.
At this moment, Lin Feng felt that the music notes kept penetrating his ears, making him want to close his eyes and immerse himself in the musical atmosphere.
"Tenryū's spirit soul is cold and ruthless. It can even defend itself automatically. As long as I maintain a trace of this state, I won't be swayed by Qu Yin's influence."
Lin Feng inwardly sighed. A cold aura slowly enveloped him, making his mind extremely clear. Everything around him was directly imprinted in his mind.
Although the music was still playing, Lin Feng remained unmoved. His clear eyes were wide open, carrying a hint of emptiness and purity, and he quietly watched the teacher who was playing.
"Ah?" The middle-aged man was surprised to see that Lin Feng's gaze could remain so clear and focused. His expression changed subtly, and the melody that entered Lin Feng's ears became even more rapid, causing his heart to tremble.
But Lin Feng's eyes remained the same.
With clear and bright eyes, she kept looking at the teacher, calm and composed, showing no sign of being drawn into the mood of the music.
The melody became more urgent. One could only see the fingers of the middle-aged man dancing on the strings, and suddenly a series of illusions appeared.
But soon he realized that Lin Feng remained indifferent.
After a moment, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face. The melody gradually slowed down and eventually stopped.
"May I ask what your name is?" said the middle-aged man, looking at Lin Feng and asking.
"Lin Feng."
"You didn't lie. You passed the test."
Middle-aged man said again, causing the gazes of the crowd to pause for a moment. "Lin Feng, have you passed the test?" What's going on here?
And this time, the teacher even stopped playing after a short while. Lin Feng didn't even get into the rhythm. What on earth was the teacher's intention?
"Miss Xie gave me the opportunity."
Lin Feng responded with a smile, "If the other party doesn't give me a chance, I have no choice but to give up."
"Teacher, what's going on? He was clearly awakened by something just now. Why did he say he passed the test?"
A burly young man strode forward with a booming voice and asked in bewilderment, "Just now it was precisely him who was cursing Lin Feng for being shameless and clinging on stubbornly. How could you have misunderstood?"
"Not only did he not get influenced by my music, he didn't even react to it. How could he be awakened? It was he himself who woke up. During his years at Tianyi Academy, this was the first time I had encountered such a situation."
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, but there was a hint of smile on his face.
"Can't be affected by the sound of the lute?" The crowd was stunned. They all looked at Lin Feng with blank expressions, this guy, a monster.
Xiao Aoxue also looked surprised. He couldn't help but wonder how she could remain unmoved by the music. She was simply too calm and composed. He couldn't do that.
The burly young man widened his eyes, then touched his head, walked up to Lin Feng and said, "Sorry, I was rude in my words and misunderstood you. I even used abusive language. What should I do? Just do as you please."
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the big guy in front of him. The faint anger that had been in his heart vanished without a trace.
This guy should be like Han Man, straightforward and outspoken. In fact, he has no ill intentions at all and is brave enough to take responsibility for his actions.
Thinking of Han Man, Lin Feng's heart was filled with a tinge of coldness again. "Duan Tianlao, Duan Han!"
"Did you say something just now? I've forgotten."
Lin Feng smiled and said, making the burly young man stunned for a moment. Then he gave a hearty smile and stretched out his thick palm.
"Yuan Shan."
"Lin Feng."
Reaching out his hand, Lin Feng and Tie Shan shook hands. They looked at each other and smiled.
"Persistent, with a strong will and broad-mindedness, if one adds strength and courage, then one becomes a star-like talent."
Beside him, the middle-aged man nodded silently, put away the guqin and then said, "Lin Feng, if you want to learn the guqin, you can come to me."
After saying that, Zhongnian turned around and vanished into thin air, leaving behind a stunned crowd.
Lin Feng was also stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face and he said to the receding figure: "Teacher, don't think I'm annoying you when the time comes."
Everyone looked at Lin Feng, and in their eyes there was a trace of envy. Qin Xiu was a kind of peculiar martial cultivation. A powerful Qin Xiu was extremely terrifying. If one could truly achieve the state of turning into ashes and smoke with a flick of the fingers.
"Lin Feng, congratulations! I think even the teacher wouldn't teach you this skill."
Xiao Aoxue walked up and smiled at Lin Feng.
"Fortune." Lin Feng shook his head and smiled.
"Your luck seems to be too good for it." Ao Xue teased and said, "Now that you're a student of Tianyi Academy, I'll take you to your dormitory first."
"Right, okay."
"I'll go and have a look too," said Yuan Shan with a simple and honest tone.
"Alright. You're just a newcomer here at Tianyi as well. Let me show you around and help you get familiar with the place."
Xiao Aoxue led a group of people to a certain ancient castle. Entering the castle, Lin Feng raised his head and felt a slight shock in his heart. This ancient castle was actually over twenty floors high, surrounded on all sides, with an empty space in the middle. However, there was a towering high tower standing in the middle, as tall as the castle itself, which was extremely magnificent.
"The houses around are for the students of Tianyi Academy to live in. This middle one is the cultivation tower. Go and choose your accommodation now."
There are many ancient castles with twenty or more floors. Many of them are vacant. When Lin Feng walked in, he found that behind each door was a completely different world, with several rooms and a huge living room.
"The places where we live are all the same. There's nothing special about them. You can choose any place that is uninhabited at will. However, keep in mind that since both men and women live here, and some people prefer quietness, it's best not to enter someone else's residence without their consent. This is the only taboo."
"Right." Lin Feng nodded. He didn't have any particular demands regarding the accommodation. The group chose a place that was adjacent to five vacant ones. This way, they could live in the neighboring houses and look out for each other.
"I'll take this room." Lin Feng casually pointed at one of the stone-walled rooms. Jing Yun and Duan Feng chose the room next to Lin Feng's, while Yuan Shan chose the one next to Duan Feng's.
"Why didn't you choose?"
Lin Feng looked at Mengqing and asked.
"Surely you have several rooms there, right? Just give me one."
Mengqing gently said, her tone calm, but it left Lin Feng and others stunned for a moment.
Lin Feng asked, "Aohui, you look at me with a smile that's not quite genuine. And your face is so pretty. It makes me feel uncomfortable all over."
"Haha, this idea is quite good," Yuan Shan said with a hearty laugh. This made Lin Feng glare at him, knowing that he shouldn't say anything like that either!!
"Then it's okay too. It's just that I can take care of you in this way."
Lin Feng casually said, looking very serious, making Duan Feng look stunned at Lin Feng. Did he take care of Mengqing Sister?
"Big Brother Lin Feng is indeed very powerful," Duan Feng murmured to himself in his heart. However, he dared not voice this thought out loud.
"If we live together, then you should be able to tell me ten stories every day, right?"
Mengqing murmured softly, causing Lin Feng's legs to wobble and he nearly fell down directly. What a cruel woman...
...
The next morning, people still kept arriving at Tianyi Academy one after another. However, compared with yesterday, there were obviously fewer of them.
In the central area of the Imperial City, in an extremely spacious square, there were countless people, densely packed together, stretching as far as the eye could see. Moreover, more people were still arriving.
After the square, there is a large gate made of cloud rock. On it, there are several extremely imposing characters carved, namely "Snow Moon" and "Holy Abbey".
Today is the founding day of the Snow Moon Holy Temple. After learning about this news, people from all over Snow Moon Kingdom have come here. Some hope to have the chance to enter the Snow Moon Holy Temple, while others merely come to witness this grand event that could potentially influence the fate of Snow Moon Kingdom, a grand event that is a symbol of the kingdom's prosperity.
This day is destined to be a tumultuous one.
