Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 155: A Girl Grows Up in Yaoshan
Tang Zheng's eyelids suddenly twitched non-stop.
Lu Huang's laughing expression was really intriguing. It was obvious that he knew there was something wrong with Tang Zheng's identity badge.
Although Tang Zheng didn't know how Lu Huang knew about it, Lu Huang was in a high position of power in Bailianfang, so knowing such a small matter shouldn't require much effort on his part.
"Oh." Tang Zheng's identity badge was about to be delivered, and he didn't want anything to go wrong at this time.
Of course, even if Lu Huang knew that he had forged his identity badge, he would not interfere.
The people in Bailianfang may be rigid, but they have one advantage - they don't have the habit of gossiping.
However, Wang Danyang and Ouyang Luoluo would definitely be disappointed, because as long as he didn't get the identity badge, he wouldn't have to think about leaving Wulong Town. Whether it was joining the army or switching from elementary school to teaching at a university, the answer was impossible.
"I still have some evil spirits in Wulong Town that have not been eliminated. I can only respond to your kindness when I have the chance in the future..." Tang Zheng smiled and toasted Wang Danyang and Ouyang Luoluo.
"I didn't realize that a teacher also has other jobs?" Ouyang Luoluo of course heard that Tang Zheng was talking nonsense and couldn't help but laugh.
"Alas, you don't know, it's not easy for a scholar to make a living in this chaotic time of war. If it weren't for Tang Jiabao's kindness in taking me in, I would..." In just a few words, Tang Zheng recounted his "miserable and miserable" life experience.
Those various bizarre and strange experiences were made up in some unknown way, and not only did Ouyang Luoluo burst into laughter, but even Tang Xiaotang and the others wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Tang Zheng always said "black steamed bread and pickled vegetables" and "one meal every two days". It really makes people think that Wulong Town is full of refugees and no one can survive...
No one at the table took Tang Zheng's words seriously. Instead, they thought his story was interesting. Ouyang Luoluo even praised him while listening, saying, "No wonder you could make up the story of the tadpole looking for its mother."
As Tang Zheng spoke, his eyes became clearer and clearer.
Of course what he said was half true and half false, but the true part was what he had experienced himself.
At first, I ate once every two days because I had no money, then I ate once every two days because I had no time, and finally because my body had gotten used to it…
"Don't believe him. My sister said that the master is a playboy who spends money like water!" Little Bell climbed on Tang Zheng's knees, eating and finishing off the enemy at the same time.
"Oh? What else did your sister say?" Ouyang Luoluo asked with a smile. It was quite nice to get some information that interested her from the child.
"My sister also said that girls should stay away from him, especially pretty girls." Xiao Lingdang pointed at herself, "Like me." She pointed at Tang Xiaotang, "Like Sister Xiaotang." She pointed at Ouyang Luoluo, "Like you."
Ouyang Luoluo couldn't help it and pointed at Tang Zheng and laughed.
Tang Zheng's face was very dark.
Is it easy for him to teach and educate people diligently and wholeheartedly?
How come after teaching for so long, you ended up teaching a bunch of little bastards like this?
He finally won a big victory, but these little bastards were more capable of sabotaging him than the other!
"Ahem." Tang Xiaotang's teaching was not in vain, and she immediately came to Tang Zheng's rescue, "Miss Luoluo, we are fortunate to meet in Wulong Town, and I just happen to have some questions I want to ask you."
"Miss Xiaotang, you don't have to be so polite." Ouyang Luoluo knew at a glance that she was trying to change the subject forcibly, so she naturally continued the conversation very smoothly.
Although she was forcibly changing the subject, what Tang Xiaotang asked was also very important.
The recruitment problem of Yisuli Academy!
Although the Changyuan Leng family is not a top-tier family, and the Yisu Academy is just a border town academy of the Leng family, it can only be regarded as the last one compared to the Sanqing Academy and Qipin Academy in the provincial capital, and the Jiuhua Academy in the capital. However, an aristocratic family academy is still an aristocratic family academy, and the basic standards will not change.
Light up one star before the age of twelve, and two stars before the age of twenty.
People like Tang Zheng, who only started to gather the first ray of star power in his twenties, are typical examples of those who will be blocked from the door.
"I'm sixteen years old, and I'm at the initial stage of two stars. But after advancing, I haven't awakened my astrological talent. Can Yisuli Academy accept me?" Tang Xiaotang asked.
"The awakening of astrological talents varies from person to person. Just because you haven't awakened your astrological talents now doesn't necessarily mean that you haven't awakened them. Some astrological talents are conditional and won't awaken without certain conditions." Ouyang Luoluo's reaction was very calm. "If you choose Yisu Academy, there will naturally be a mentor to guide you. Don't worry, you will definitely be able to awaken your astrological talents when you advance to the second star. This is recorded in the Star Codex and there will be no mistakes!"
"Hmm!" It was the first time that Tang Xiaotang heard about this special astrological talent, which would not awaken unless certain conditions were met.
She has been promoted to two stars for a while.
However, her astrological talent has not yet awakened.
Seeing that the talents of Tang Zixie and Meng Fenghua were becoming more and more proficient with use, even Tang Zheng, a latecomer who had just started to come into contact with star power after entering Tang Family Castle, had awakened a very powerful astrological talent. How could she not be anxious?
Now, after hearing what Ouyang Luoluo said, she felt relieved.
She has already advanced to the second star and will definitely be able to awaken her astrological talent, but the method is different!
"If Miss Xiaotang is interested in Yisu Academy, you can come to Feishi City after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Ouyang Luoluo looked at Tang Xiaotang and said, "When I was sixteen, I was only a high-level one-star, not even at the peak. You... are already a beginner two-star at the age of sixteen, so there should be no problem with admission!"
"Thank you!" Tang Xiaotang was of course very happy to hear Ouyang Luoluo say this.
"But... the academy usually only recruits as many people as the number of people who graduate in the summer as it will in the fall..." Ouyang Luoluo tilted her head and thought for a while, "So, I'm not sure how many places there will be this fall."
Ouyang Luoluo also suddenly remembered that the number of places this year might be limited.
It’s almost summer this year, but there has only been news of an upgrade to Samsung.
Coincidentally, the two chieftains of the Zhaixing Sect and the Qintian Sect just turned twenty this year!
She was not sure which academy Feng Yuan from the Qintian Sect would go to, but Jiang Wuyan, the leader of the Zhaixing Sect, had already exchanged visiting cards with the Yisu Academy in the early spring.
Jiang Wuyan has reached the peak of the two-star level. He can almost graduate successfully just by coming to the academy to gain experience. If there is only one spot available, Yisuli Academy will definitely give priority to him and will not consider Tang Xiaotang.
"Okay, I know everything." Tang Xiaotang smiled and asked, "Also...can I bring my family members with me to enroll in Yisu Academy?"
She pointed to the little bell that was playing on Tang Zheng's lap.
Meng Fenghua is nineteen years old this year and has already broken through to the two-star level. It is time for her to consider choosing an academy. However, she certainly cannot abandon Xiao Lingling and enter the academy to study alone.
"If you live in the academy's dormitory, of course that's not possible. But the academy won't interfere with the off-campus life of its students." Ouyang Luoluo smiled, looked at the little bell, and replied.
"Well...thank you. I'll be back soon." Xiaotang stood up immediately, ran to cubicle number two, and shared the information she had found out with Meng Fenghua.
Several young people who have already lit up two life palaces gathered together and chatted for a while.
Ouyang Luoluo was just about to say a few more words to Tang Zheng when she heard a melodious song coming from compartment number seven...
If it was just an ordinary singing girl's voice, she wouldn't care.
The singing sounded like a song but not like a song. It was almost impossible to tell that it was a person singing. If you didn't pay attention, you would think it was the sound of the breeze in your ears, or the whispers of birds outside the window.
However, the entire second floor of Wufeng Tavern fell silent because of the singing.
"The girl in snow clothes stepped on the light dust, and saw the Jade Gate as soon as she entered the tavern. She was lucky enough to watch the painting in the fire from afar, but never got close to touch the star needle..." Her lyrics were simple, but her voice was a heavenly sound ...
Although the lyrics were sung hastily and didn't have much meaning, at least you could tell that she was singing about Tang Zheng!
Immediately, all eyes turned to Tang Zheng...
"Compartment No. 7... " Tang Zheng had some impression of it.
Because the door of that compartment was closed from the beginning!
Even when the whole audience was vibrating for his animation and tourbillon, the door did not open.
Through the gauze curtain of the compartment, one could only vaguely see four people inside.
If there is anything special, it is probably just that there are women with graceful figures among them?
"Uh... who is singing?" Even the waiter who was serving wine and food was drawn to compartment number seven.
"Wasn't it arranged by your boss?" several guests asked.
“No…no…” The waiter immediately shook his head.
"There's no girl in Wulong Town who can sing ditties so well. Could she be from Feishi City?"
"Miss Gu Meng? It's really possible..."
Accompanied by the beautiful singing, the door of the compartment opened...
A girl in a snow-white coat opened the door of the compartment and walked out.
Her face was covered with a veil, but one could still tell that her skin was very fair. It was not the superficial white color that was painted on the faces of most women on the Xingyao Continent, but a tender white color with a slight hint of pink.
Her two eyes, revealed from above the veil, were brighter than the stars in the sky, as if every blink of her eyes was a beautiful story.
The entire Wufeng Tavern suddenly fell silent.
It was obvious that she was not some ancient dream girl.
Even though she was such a stunningly beautiful girl, no one in the audience fixed their eyes on her fair oval face or her bright eyes!
Everyone's eyes were focused on one place - the seven-color crown on her head!
For an unmarried girl from the Yaoshan tribe, the richer the color of her crown, the higher her status in the tribe.
The seven-color flower crown is not something that an ordinary girl can wear casually...
