Chapter 391 Mission 038
Although Xiao Ying was unhappy that Qiao Lingyun used him as a bargaining chip to show off, he did not say anything, considering that others could not see what she was showing off, and it was not good to stimulate her and make her hate Mu Qilan more, but tried to avoid appearing in front of Mu Qilan.
The two teams rested for a night and set off the next morning.
Captain Zhang specifically asked the Mu family caravan and learned that they were also going to the capital, so he asked to go with them.
The Mu family caravan had been traveling around for many years, and they had encountered this situation many times. The caravan manager asked Mu Qilan for instructions and agreed.
Qiao Lingyun in the Qiao family team was originally unwilling to go with the Mu family caravan, but Captain Zhang said that it was less likely to encounter danger with the Mu family caravan, so she nodded reluctantly.
The Mu family caravan was in front, and the Qiao family team followed behind at a distance, heading to the capital together.
The Mu family's logo has a great deterrent effect on those robbers or the government. After the Qiao family team hitched a ride with the Mu family caravan, there were no more robbers robbing on the way, and they had to pay a large amount of tolls to the government when passing through the city.
Xiao Ying watched coldly, but felt that Captain Zhang was a man who could bend and judge the situation. He was indifferent to the Qiao family, but he was neither humble nor arrogant to the people of the Mu family caravan, but he smiled warmly, which was in sharp contrast to his previous indifference.
He could understand Captain Zhang's two completely different attitudes. After all, the Mu family was one of the three major families in Fengling Country. The head of these three major families was the royal family that ruled Fengling Country. The Mu family was a large family that assisted the royal family. The power in Fengling Country was overwhelming, which was not comparable to a small family in a remote town.
But Qiao Lingyun was very angry. She secretly regarded Mu Qilan as an enemy in her heart. As a result, the captain of the guard team in her team ran to flatter the enemy. How could she not be angry? But her reason told her that she had no capital to compete with Mu Qilan now, so she could only endure, and endured until she was angry.
However, she had to endure it. All the way to the capital, Qiao Lingyun could not wait to urge Captain Zhang to part ways with the Mu family caravan and go to Daoyun College.
Although Daoyun College in the capital of Fengling Kingdom is only a second-level branch, it occupies a large area. Even in this huge Fengling Kingdom, it occupies the best location, and the area is twice as large as the main house of the Mu family.
Xiao Ying followed Qiao Lingyun, who was familiar with the place, to pay the registration fee at the registration office of the outer courtyard of Daoyun College.
That kind of registration is similar to the registration for nine-year compulsory education in the urban world, the only difference is that the tuition is a bit expensive.
Daoyun College does not allow students to bring servants to school, so generally wealthy families who love their children will not hesitate to pay an extra tuition fee to let servants follow their children into the outer courtyard. For example, Qiao Lingyun, the Qiao family prepared two tuition fees for her, one of which was for Qiao Li, her maid who had served her since she was a child, to follow her in and serve her.
However, Qiao Lingyun wanted Xiao Ying to enter the academy with her, so she planned to use her maid Qiao Li's tuition fee to register Xiao Ying.
However, before she could tell her plan, Xiao Ying had already paid the tuition fee and registered, and urged her: "Hurry up and register! We still have to get textbooks!"
Qiao Lingyun thought that Xiao Ying lived such a marginal life in the Luo family that she must have no money, so she wanted to take the opportunity to gain a good impression. Unexpectedly, she actually paid the money herself.
She thought that the Luo family gave the money, so she didn't think much about it. She just gave the two tuition fees to her maid Qiao Li with a little embarrassment, and asked Qiao Li to queue up to register, while she followed Xiao Ying to get the textbooks.
＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜
After Xiao Ying and Qiao Lingyun received the textbooks from the outer courtyard of Daoyun College, they looked through them curiously.
There were not many textbooks, only one "Detailed Explanation of Dao" and one "Continental Customs".
The former explained the usefulness and external manifestations of the Dao that people had realized, and the latter roughly described the geographical location and customs of the entire continent.
Xiao Ying flipped through "Detailed Explanation of Dao" and found that it only described what characteristics the laws realized by people in this world would have when fighting. At most, it could allow people to judge what Dao others had realized when they were fighting, and did not involve the knowledge of how to comprehend Dao.
Xiao Ying also lost interest and turned to look at "Continental Customs". After reading it for a while, he understood the current national-level power division of this continent. Although he had the memory of Luo Chihuan's two lives, Luo Chihuan was still living in the Luo family in that remote town at this time, living a small and transparent life, so how could he know the current situation.
On the contrary, this book "Continental Customs" is recompiled every year, because there are many countries on this continent. In addition to the first- and second-rate big countries, the third-rate countries or the small countries that are not in the mainstream may be newly established or the old ones disappear at any time, so this book has to modify some of the country names and territorial scopes every year.
Xiao Ying saw many unfamiliar country names in this book "Continental Customs", which were not in the memory of the original owner Luo Chihuan, and they were probably small countries that would disappear soon.
When Xiao Ying had almost finished reading the two textbooks, Qiao Lingyun finally received her textbook.
As a reborn person, Qiao Lingyun was not as curious about the textbooks as Xiao Ying. She held the two books and said to Xiao Ying: "Brother Luo, I also got the books. Let's go and take a look at the school and the dormitory."
No matter where the students of Daoyun College live, they must live on campus, so everyone has a dormitory, which is a dormitory.
The direction of the female and male dormitories are diametrically opposed, so Qiao Lingyun took Xiao Ying to the school first.
The outer school of Daoyun College is also divided into classes, with twelve classes. The number of students in a class is one twelfth of the total number of students who register for admission, and there is no fixed number. The outer school is not divided into grades, and only studies for three years. Among them, those with excellent comprehension can be promoted to the inner school, and others with average comprehension will leave after three years.
The class division is arranged according to the order of registration. Now the registration time has not yet ended, so Xiao Ying and Qiao Lingyun are only divided into dormitories, not classes. So the two of them randomly found a school to go in and take a look.
Xiao Ying saw that the doorplate said [Mao Class], and thought that these twelve classes might be named according to the twelve earthly branches (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai), so this [Mao Class] should correspond to [Class 4].
The interior of the Mao class is very large, with hundreds of tables and chairs placed inside, which should be used by the seniors of the previous class. However, Daoyun College recruits students every three years. Before this year's recruitment, the seniors of the previous class either moved to the inner courtyard or graduated and left. Now the Mao class is basically full of freshmen who are as curious as Xiao Ying and the others to see the layout of the school.
＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜
After Xiao Ying and Qiao Lingyun saw the layout of the school, they went to the school separately.
Originally, Qiao Lingyun wanted to go to the men's school with him, but he refused. He didn't want to have no privacy at all, and even his residence would be controlled by Qiao Lingyun.
Daoyun College has a large area, and the school building is also very large, with many rooms. Xiao Ying looked around and roughly estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of dormitories. It seems that there are really many people who come to register every time, otherwise there would not be so many dormitories.
But think about it, there is only one school in the whole continent, Daoyun College. Where else can those capable parents send their children to school if they don't send them to this school? This is monopoly education! If it weren't for the high tuition fees of Daoyun College's outer courtyard and the inconvenient communication, which kept most of the children from ordinary families out of the door, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so few people who signed up for admission. After all, Fengling Country is such a big country and there is only one school, Daoyun College.
Xiao Yan found his dormitory according to the dormitory sequence assigned when he registered.
The door was not locked. He pushed the door open and found that it had been cleaned up. It was about 30 square meters. Although it was small, it was a good place for single living and complete furniture. The only inconvenience was that there was no toilet or bathroom, which were all public. However, this inconvenience was also inconvenient for others, but Xiao Yan didn't need it. After all, with his cultivation, he had already practiced fasting and was not stained by dust. Eating, sleeping, bathing and going to the toilet had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Yan put his luggage away and left the dormitory.
He quietly avoided people and walked towards the inner courtyard where students from the outer courtyard were prohibited from entering.
With his strength, no one could find him if he wanted to sneak into the inner courtyard, so he sneaked into the inner courtyard without being noticed by the guards, and walked towards the inner courtyard school among the inner courtyard students.
The number of people in the inner courtyard of the entire Daoyun Academy is far less than that of the outer courtyard. The inner courtyard students are at least able to become enlightened people who can comprehend the fourteen Dao patterns. Those who can rank at the top among all the students in the inner courtyard are the geniuses of the entire Fengling Kingdom.
Therefore, there are fewer students in the inner courtyard, but the area is several times larger than that of the outer courtyard. There are ten martial arts arenas dedicated to the inner courtyard alone. The inner courtyard is divided into ten classes according to the ten heavenly stems (Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui), and each class has a martial arts arena.
However, unlike the outer courtyard, which is divided into classes according to the order of registration, the competition in the inner courtyard is much more intense. The classes are divided according to strength. The students in Class A are the strongest, and the students in Class Gui are the weakest.
Xiao Ying unexpectedly met Mu Qilan, who had just separated from her when she entered the capital, in the inner courtyard. She was surrounded by many inner courtyard students like a star and entered Class B.
Mu Qilan was only a student in Class B?
Xiao Ying thought of Luo Chihuan's memory that he entered Daoyun College a few years later. At that time, Mu Qilan was a student in Class A. It seems that she was promoted from Class B to Class A in the past few years.
Mu Qilan's figure had disappeared at the door of Class B. Xiao Ying didn't think about it anymore. He walked around the entire inner courtyard and even took a class in Class A for a while.
However, Xiao Ying was very disappointed to find that even though the inner courtyard was so popular, it was only because the teachers who gave lectures were relatively strong. The lessons were only about how to use the power of Tao to exert greater power, and they didn't teach how to realize Tao. The inner courtyard teacher also clearly said that you can only rely on yourself to realize Tao, and teachers can't teach.
It seems that the rumor in this world that you can only rely on yourself to realize Tao and no one else can help is true.
Xiao Ying originally thought that those big families or giant organizations like Daoyun Academy that monopolized education had some secret tricks to teach the younger generations to attain enlightenment!
