All the way to the Dripping Cave.

The cave was the same as it was yesterday. There was a gap in the ceiling, and a beam of sunlight leaked in, falling on the empty platform in the center of the hall.

The lady and the Jianze seniors haven't arrived yet.

At this moment, an old Yue woman came out from a dark corridor and slowly walked onto the stage with the help of two Yue women with peach cards.

Everyone recognized that it was the Uncle Tang who presided over the second level.

Senior Sister Yuan also followed behind her.

Climbing onto the stage, Master Tang looked at the young ladies below with a amiable expression and nodded slightly:
"Those of you who are still standing here today are the backbone of Jianze in the future. Let me introduce myself. I am the head of Taotang, Yuenu. If there is no female monarch visiting Taotang, you can regard me as the head of the Taotang. From now on, most of you will spend a lot of time with me in Taotang. Let's get to know each other here first."

The girls in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ouyang Rong glanced at the platform.

This Tang Shouzuo should be speaking to the new girls such as Chen Jiaxin and Song Zhian, not including the young men who were selected into the Bamboo Hall such as Lu Jinghong and Sha Ergou.

Because she mentioned Taotang.

In Yunmeng Jianze, the Female Monarch Hall has the highest status, and the Ancestor Hall is located in it. Under the Female Monarch Hall, there are many halls, and there are also some places on the same level as the halls, such as the strange island, the secret hall, the secluded valley, the high pavilion...

Most of the Yue women in Yunmeng Jianze were divided into them.

At the moment, Ouyang Rong understood from what the Tang leader said that some halls would be personally headed by the female ruler.

In some halls, if there is no female monarch to directly manage them, there will be a chief Yue woman like her to manage the hall on behalf of the female monarch. Her power is similar to that of a hall master, and she reports to the female monarch regularly.

This Taotang should be considered a hall, which is responsible for the training of these new Yue women and may be similar to a Dharma Hall.

In the past few days, the three-level assessment of the new Yue women and the Zhutang sword practitioners seemed to be arranged and hosted by the Taotang Yue women.

Ouyang Rong's gaze fell on the Yue women around Lord Tang.

After observing for a while, he noticed that these Yue women all had tags hanging around their waists, but the materials were different.

Most of them have mahogany waist badges.

Only Senior Sister Yuan and another pretty girl from Yue who followed closely behind Master Tang had silver waist badges.

This pretty Yue girl was the senior sister who came to inform Ouyang Rong to stay in the morning.

It seems that her status in Taotang is comparable to that of Senior Sister Yuan, similar to a deacon of Taotang. Compared to the cold-faced and cold-spoken Senior Sister Yuan, she has a gentler temperament.

The badge hanging around the waist of Master Tang was even more special. It looked like a piece of... jade, with no words on it.

These badges made of different materials may represent the status and class within Jianze.

Ouyang Rong was thoughtful.

In fact, he vaguely remembered that he had seen similar waist badges at the embroiderer and Miss Zhishuang before, but their waist badges seemed to be made of glass and jade, and looked noble and valuable. Could they represent the queen?

While Ouyang Rong was lost in thought, Tang Shouzuo finished his speech to the crowd, turned around and said a few words to the pretty Yue woman with a silver medal on her waist behind him.

The latter took a step forward and whispered softly:
"Master uncle has ordered that we should complete the last test today. After that, we should gather here..."

There was a sudden uproar from the audience.

"quiet."

This time it was Senior Sister Yuan who spoke up. She scolded, took a step forward, looked around the stage and said:
"The results of the last test will not be announced, and it will not affect your current entry scores. Everyone present here is already a member of our sect. Unless you make a big mistake, you will not be expelled from the sect..."

The pretty girl nodded slightly:
"You can think of it as a process, because it is an old rule issued by Her Majesty the Queen. It has been established for many years. Every new Vietnamese girl has to go through it once, and then the peach cards will be distributed. Everything is as usual... You can just take it easy."

The noise in the hall suddenly became much quieter.

Most of the girls looked curious.

However, Master Tang and the two silver medal Yue girls did not say much from beginning to end.

Master Tang stood up tremblingly, walked down the platform, and led the way into an unfamiliar corridor.

Senior Sister Yuan followed closely behind, and at the same time waved her hand to greet everyone in the Dripping Water Cave:

"All the new ladies, follow along. Oh, and the men you selected for the Bamboo Hall, come along as well."

At her call, all the young girls in the Dripping Cave followed her and rushed into the strange corridor.

"Let's go, Brother Liu, Master Lu, Brother Sha."

Yu Mili followed Song Zhian and walked towards the corridor, greeting the three people. Lu Jinghong was eager to try and followed.

Seeing this, Ouyang Rong also stepped forward, and Sha Ergou followed behind him, muttering quietly:
"Brother Liu, you said this was a test or something, why did you do this?"

"Who knows?" Ouyang Rong shook his head slightly.

"Remember what I mentioned to you guys before?"

Song Zhian suddenly turned around and said in a low voice:

"It should be that useless test that everyone has to go through after being selected."

After a pause, as if seeing Lu Jinghong's expression, she couldn't help but admonish:
"Master Lu, there is no need to be so nervous. I heard from my senior sisters that no one knows the score standard of this test. In the past, Taotang reported it to the Palace of the Queen, but there was no follow-up. I don't know what kind of special talent the Palace of the Queen wants to select..."

Ouyang Rong was standing in line, silently staring at the unfamiliar corridor ahead.

Just now, he looked throughout the entire hall of the Dripping Cave, but did not see Ah Qing. He did not know whether he had gone to this "redundant test" place in advance.

"Liu Aliang."

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind.

She seemed familiar. Ouyang Rong turned around and saw that it was the pretty Yue girl.

The team entering the corridor was almost up to Ouyang Rong and his four companions.

This delicate Yue girl said gently:
"What Master Uncle said does not include you. You stay."

Song Zhian and Lu Jinghong looked at Ouyang Rong in surprise.

What does that mean? Why isn’t Brother Liu included?

Could it be that the previous inference was wrong? It wasn't because he missed the list, so Brother Liu still couldn't stay in Jianze?

The four of them suddenly became confused.

But the line had already reached their end, so the four of them had no choice but to walk into the corridor, looking back every few steps, and their figures disappeared.

Soon, all the girls and boys in the Dripping Cave left.

The pretty girl stayed with Ouyang Rong.

There were only two people left in the hall.

"My name is Xi Qi, you can call me Senior Sister Xi. This morning, Senior Uncle Tang asked me to come here and let me be responsible for your whereabouts. It's just right, while they are taking the test, let's chat and I can arrange a place for you."

Xi Qi walked down from the platform, came in front of Ouyang Rong, and said gently.

Ouyang Rong looked at her silently and asked in a muffled voice:
"I was not on the list yesterday, why did Master Tang keep me?"

Xi Qi shook her head:

"I don't know. It should be related to a certain lady king. Uncle received a command from the lady king this morning. A lady king specifically asked to keep you. This kind of temporary arrangement is the first time I have seen it, but..."

She looked at Ouyang Rong's attire, and gradually her eyes focused on his forehead which was mostly covered by the felt hat:

"But I'm not saying that you should be included in the list of candidates for Zhutang. Instead, I'm saying that I want Taotang to arrange a job for you... at least it's in Jianze and suitable for you."

After a pause, Xi Qi asked:
"Liu Aliang, what are you good at?"

Ouyang Rong nodded and said dully:
"Ring the bell."

Xi Qi shook her head gently:
“That won’t work… Actually, the Lady’s order mentioned that it could be the job of ringing the bell, but Her Highness the Lady must have forgotten. Recently, the situation is tense, and Jianze is on guard inside and outside. All activities that make loud noises, such as the morning bell, have been stopped. There is no need for a bell ringer for the time being.

"So, let's change it. Liu Aliang, do you have other specialties? Let me see what you are suitable for."

What are you good at? What are you suitable for?
Ouyang Rong slightly resisted the urge to tell the truth and shook his head in confusion:

"Besides ringing the bell, I can only do some manual labor."

Xi Qi frowned slightly, as if she was a little troubled.

In front of her, someone actually wanted to say that he was good at micromanipulating the Ding Sword and harvesting heads, and might be suitable to be a hidden king...

But you won't be happy after I tell you.
