Flying Clouds in Another World

"I just wonder how the person who recommended you to come here is doing now? Where is he living now? Is there anything else you want me to say?"

After sighing, the inkstone washer Chang Xianzhi continued to ask questions.

Liu Feiyun answered them one by one respectfully, "Reporting to the old sir! That person is living a very comfortable life now! He does whatever he wants all day long! Sometimes he teaches children, sometimes he travels around! Sometimes he reads a lot of books, sometimes he drinks! Sometimes he talks about everything, sometimes he walks around the village! He laughs, scolds, and is happy or sad! In his own words, he is living a very comfortable life now! Now, he lives in my house! I came to Changluo this time, and he really asked me to bring a few words to you!"

"What?"

“An old horse still has ambitions to run thousands of miles! What’s the point of living too hard? The river never stops flowing, but the waves are clear and turbid! What happens to future generations is up to God!”

"Why? It's God's will! Haha! Haha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! This bastard! He's still the same as always! But since he has already decided to retire to the mountains and forests and abandon billions of people in the world, why bother pushing this trouble of yours onto me! It's really ridiculous! He really thinks I'm kind and can be deceived!"

Although Chang Xianzhi laughed out loud, there were tears in his eyes and his face was sad!

This made Liu Feiyun very puzzled, and Liu Qianqian extremely surprised.

"This Zhou Banxia! What is he trying to do? He just drew a few ugly pictures like a child in the letter and said a few half-literate words! He made this world-famous scholar cry and laugh! He's like a madman! But it seems that this scholar may not be willing to accept him as his disciple as he said! This Zhou Banxia! He won't make trouble for himself, will he?"

"I can't believe this great Confucian scholar, the Prince's literary teacher, also has such a side that is like the common people! Is he still the great Confucian scholar that is admired and respected by scholars all over the world?"

After laughing a few times, Chang Xianzhi wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at the brother and sister in the room again.

"After not seeing you for a year, Master Liu has grown taller and stronger, and his violent temper has also increased! I wonder how much of his original concern for the people is left!"

Chang Xianzhi chuckled again, but this time it was a genuine laugh, without any sadness in his eyes!

"Please stop making fun of me! And stop calling me Young Master Liu! In front of you! How dare I be called Young Master? I have been weak and sickly since I was young! I just grow slower than others! As for the violent temper! You may be talking about the incident of the three tribes in the Northern Wilderness! There are reasons for that! And the concern for the people!

I dare not claim to be a man who worries about the world before he worries about himself and is happy after the world is happy, but at least! The people who work for me! The people who work for the Liu family! The people of my Le'an territory! Have not been exploited, and have not been subjected to harsh rule! "

After Liu Feiyun finished speaking, not only did Liu Qianqian fail to react for a moment, feeling that her younger brother had become a little strange, but even Chang Xianzhi had a strange look in his eyes!

"Hahaha! You are such a little rascal! No wonder that bastard sent you here! But! What on earth can a little butcher like you have to be able to make me accept you as my disciple! You have to know! With your status! If you want to become my disciple, you have to pass more than just my test! Let's not talk about other things first! In this examination! How confident are you that you can be admitted to the Wenzheng College? And how confident are you that you can qualify to become my disciple?"

Liu Feiyun answered confidently: "100% chance of entering the academy, 90% chance of becoming your disciple!"

"Haha! You are so arrogant! You have to know! There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts! Poetry, songs, classics, history, and miscellaneous works! Policy essays, political strategies, and various schools of thought! Learning literature is different from practicing martial arts. You can't decide the winner in one battle. Instead, you have to get the approval of the majority! It's like if you wrote a policy essay, some people will think that your writing is good and your arguments are correct, but there will also be people who think that your writing is poor! The arguments are absurd and the arguments are sophistry. There is no unified standard for judging! Only when at least six or seven out of ten people agree that your writing is good can it be considered good! Considering the image of you and your son in the eyes of most literati now! Haha! You should know it even if I don't say it!"

"Yes! Old sir! So in the past year, I have not slacked off for a single day, and have been studying the books of sages! Moreover, in the past few years in Miyun Sect, I have not only focused on martial arts training! I have also read a lot of literary classics! So! I am more or less confident that I can obtain the qualifications to become your disciple. I only hope that the old sir will not reject a cunning disciple like me when the time comes!"

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! Good! Then go and prepare for the joint examination! Let me see how capable you, a little butcher, are in studying besides slaughtering barbarians."

On August 8, the college examinations will begin! Two exams per day for three consecutive days! The results will be announced on August 14, and students and colleges will make their choices. On August 15, students will officially register at the colleges, and the colleges will arrange accommodation for students who choose to live on campus. On August 16, the deans of the major colleges will officially accept the top three students in the exam as their disciples. At that time, a meeting to pay respect to the teacher will be held, some in the colleges, and some outside the colleges.

The so-called "disciples" are equivalent to the disciples of martial artists above the level of "Zun". Similarly, not all scholars are qualified to call their students "disciples". Only those famous literary masters are qualified to call students who have stayed with them for a long time and taught them by words and deeds as "disciples".

Specifically, only the presidents of the more than 70 official academies of the imperial court and dozens of private academies run by literary masters were qualified to accept disciples.

If a scholar is fortunate enough to become a disciple of a literary master, it means that he has a certain reputation and status among scholars, and has hope and guarantee for entering an official career.

There are 36 colleges in the entire college district. Students can take the exam in any college they want to enter! The six exams are six chances for students who come to the imperial capital Changluo to study.

How to choose the college to apply for based on your own conditions and how to arrange the order of the six examinations will greatly affect the success rate of admission to the college and the development prospects after graduation from the college.

Although the thirty-six colleges focus on different subjects, they are definitely ranked in order based on the students' future prospects after graduation! Correspondingly, the difficulty of admission is also different. Moreover, each college will definitely give priority to students who choose their college in the first exam.

The so-called joint examination of various academies is not the same as the ancient imperial examination in another time and space. Instead, it is similar to the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination that Liu Feiyun has experienced.
