Chapter 17 Imperial City Academy
Huo Hai turned his head and didn't pay attention to the fight between these guys. "If it's another traveler, if they encounter this kind of thing, I'm afraid they will go up and pick it up." Huo Hai shook his head, not thinking about it at all.
Those who have a little ability, are self-righteous, conceited, and can't see clearly that they are making enemies everywhere. In Huo Hai's view, they are the comfort of idiots. Hiding secretly to make a fortune secretly is what Huo Hai wants most.
Huo Hai's usual behavior was nothing like this, the people around him didn't care, and many people didn't even find out when Huo Hai left. Huo Hai went back to Huo's house without any hindrance. As soon as he came to the gate, he saw the butler anxiously waiting at the gate. When he saw Huo Hai coming back from a distance, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him.
While walking, he said quickly: "Master, you are finally back. The master and the elders are waiting at home. If you don't come back, we will go out to find someone." Huo Hai probably already knew what was going on. up.
But Huo Hai still pretended not to know and asked: "What happened, why are you so anxious."
"Hurry up, you'll find out when you get in." The butler didn't say anything else, and pulled Huo Hai towards the hall. When Huo Hai entered the hall, he found that many people he knew and did not know had come. The leaders are precisely my father and grandfather, as well as some other high-ranking members of the family. From a distance, Huo Hai could feel a sense of threat and oppression from these people.
In the middle of the hall, there are quite a few people, who are similar to me, and they are all young. Not even one who is nearly thirty years old. Huo Hai nodded secretly, he understood that this time it must have something to do with Yun Zhou.
"Okay, everyone is here, and some people already know the matter. The selection of the Imperial City Academy, which is once every ten years, will start in half a month. People from the Imperial City Academy have arrived in the capital of Western Xinjiang. Every family has people It's over."
After a pause, the head of the family let everyone digest it, looked around, and said again: "I believe many people know about it. You all meet the requirements, you can join the Imperial City Academy, enter the Imperial City Academy, as long as Work hard, and your future achievements will be limitless. Many of the elders of the family are from the Imperial City Academy."
Now, the following discussions became even more heated: "Is it true that the elders are really from the Imperial City Academy? Could it be that the Imperial City Academy is so powerful, if I enter the academy, won't I be able to become a figure like an elder in the future?" .”
"Are you okay? Do you know how strict the selection of the Imperial City Academy is, and how many people are expelled every year. But everyone who comes out of the academy is indeed a master. Put it in our western border, this is the top person." A twenty-something The older ones seem to understand better.
Everyone was discussing, and the Patriarch and the others were very satisfied with this. Imperial City Academy recruits and trains the children of big families, this is to cultivate the loyalty of imperial masters to the royal family. But for these families, this is also an important means for family members to enhance their strength and enable the family to continue. These small families all attach great importance to this.
"Cough cough." Huo Kai coughed twice, motioning everyone to be quiet: "Okay, don't talk about it, the Imperial City Academy only recruits people under the age of 30, you can all have a try. All kinds of rules, you all take good care of them." have a look."
With a wave of the Patriarch's hand, the attendants will create the prepared paper and distribute it to the people below. Huo Hai looked at it, and it was the same as what he heard outside. The only difference is that this test seems to have different changes every time. Sometimes the quiz is very easy, and sometimes it is very troublesome. No one knows what kind of tests they may encounter.
The academy recruits people under the age of 30, but under normal circumstances, it is not so easy for people over the age of 20 to join. Those who are capable have joined long ago, and the rest are those who have failed a test.
Every year, many people will participate again. The registration fee for participation is not much, and those ordinary children who want to give it a try are also prevented. The stipulation is simple, it's really just a test, no big deal.
"Huh, I didn't expect this. It seems that the blood refining pill has been found." Chu Yuntian looked at the record on the paper, and his eyes lit up. This year's quiz includes trials. As long as you can get points during the trial, you can exchange them for anything at the Imperial City Academy. Among them, things like blood refining pills are nothing to the Imperial City Academy.
"Oh my god, why is there still a trial this year, why am I so unlucky. I'm in my twenties, so I won't have a chance next time." Others also saw this trial, but everyone's expressions were not very good .
"What's going on, is this trial so difficult?" Some people who didn't understand asked the people around them.
A boy who was not too young said in a low voice: "Yes, when there are trials, usually the fewest pass the test. You are still young, and you still have a chance in the next test, but we, hey, don't have this chance .”
Because of the trial, the hall became chaotic, noisy, swearing, everything. Huo Kai's brows gradually frowned, and then he roared: "Shut up, why don't you be so decent? Could it be that a little difficulty makes you shrink back? How can you be regarded as my Huo family's children like this, and how can you become a master in the future?" .”
Huo Hai's words made everyone lower their heads, their faces full of guilt. At this time, a tall man suddenly came out and said loudly: "Patriarch, I remember that every time the family has a recommended quota for exemption from the test."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. No test recommendation, wouldn't it be possible to join the Imperial City Academy without taking the test? This is simply a step up to the sky. Most likely, everyone took a look, only the Patriarch's son and Huo Yun'er were left.
"Patriarch, Jinniang Huo Hai has just lost her memory. I am afraid that after entering the Imperial City Academy, she will be expelled easily. Besides, he is still young, so there is no need to worry now. There will be a chance next time. Sister Huo Yun'er, with his personality, entering the Imperial City The academy is also not suitable. I don’t know who the head of the family is going to use this time.” This kid directly blocked the way of the head of the family.
Now, not only the head of the family, but also the faces of other people are not good-looking. On the stage, a middle-aged man looked anxious and kept winking at the tall man who came out. But he was unmoved.
"Hmph, apart from the two members of the direct lineage, who else here is more qualified than me. In terms of cultivation, none of them can do it."
Just as the tall man was looking proud, the Patriarch spoke. "Do you know how this quota came about? Every ten years, the family has to pay tribute to the royal family. After reaching a certain level, there will be this quota, and there is only one. All along, this quota has been for the family. The heir of the greatest person. The direct line is the priority."
Hearing this, the tall man's expression finally changed. In terms of the cultivation of the younger generation, he is not afraid of anyone, but he has entered the realm of spiritual blood for several years. But in terms of contribution, I don't know how many people have contributed more than my father.
"Patriarch, the number of people in the family can't be so hasty. For the future of the family, of course the most capable people should come."
A sneer flashed in Huo Kai's eyes: "In our Huo family, we never sacrifice individuals for the sake of family interests. This quota is a reward for those who have contributed to the family. If you are really capable, then enter the academy based on your own ability Going to a younger generation of the family, unexpectedly Gener talked to himself like this, if it were any other time, he would have been arrested long ago.
Before he could speak, Huo Kai said to Huo Hai: "Xiao Hai, what do you think? Needless to say, what you are doing, your grandfather and I have made the greatest contribution to the family. This quota will only come to other people after you give up. "
The tall man looked at Huo Hai with red eyes. This was his last test and he could not enter the Imperial City Academy. In the family, there can never be too much development. Maybe the spiritual blood realm is the end of his life.
Huo Hai didn't seem to see it, and said loudly: "Patriarch, elders, I want to enter the Imperial City Academy with my own strength. This quota should be given to those who need it more." Huo Hai's words surprised everyone. Huo Yan kept fighting for this spot. Huo Hai, who is now inferior to Huo Yan in all aspects, gave up this spot instead.
The elder sighed. Although he felt a little regretful, the relief in his eyes could not be concealed. Huo Yan's eyes sparkled when he heard Huo Hai's words, and he said eagerly: "Patriarch, Huo Hai has given up, this spot can be given to someone else."
Huo Yan almost said it directly to himself. With this kind of performance, Huo Hai sneered in his heart: "Calm down your anger, you can't control your desires, you are not a person who does great things, and it is impossible to become a master. There is no threat. I don't want it." Huo Yun'er should probably be given this spot." On the surface, Huo Hai didn't seem to understand anything, but he had already figured it out in secret.
What he needs is a blood refining pill, not a place to enter the Imperial City Academy. Now that he has come to this world, even the Imperial City Academy is just a stepping stone for him. One day, I will fly to the clouds.
Sure enough, Huo Yan's appearance made everyone's impression even worse. Several elders discussed with each other, and finally said to Huo Yuner: "Huo Yuner, according to the rules, Huo Hai gave up this quota, this quota belongs to you, what do you think?"
Huo Yun'er frowned, and was about to say something when she suddenly saw Huo Hai winking at her. There is still a tacit understanding between the two siblings. Seeing Huo Hai's appearance, Huo Yun'er knew what was going on. After thinking about it, Huo Yun'er finally nodded with difficulty: "Okay, I will join the Imperial City Academy." Huo Yun'er's words confirmed the quota for this year.
Huo Yan's eyes were already red: "Why, why, I am no worse than them, because they are direct descendants. Damn it, I will never lose to you, I will make you regret it." Huo Yan roared in his heart .
