Wang Boan smiled, said nothing, and just looked at Lu Heming quietly.

Wang Yueshan also saw the exchange of glances between the two, but he couldn't understand what was going on and felt that the atmosphere between them was weird.

"How do you know me?" Wang Boan asked curiously, staring at Wang Yueshan.

"I have been in Liangcheng for five days and have inquired about a lot of information. Naturally, I have heard a little about Master Wang." Wang Yueshan said truthfully.

"No wonder you told me your purpose as soon as you got here. You are honest and don't have any ulterior motives." Lu Heming nodded. He liked Wang Yueshan's temper even more. However, he actually wanted to become Wang Boan's disciple.

This was a bit surprising to him, but for such a good seedling, it didn't matter who he was enrolled under, as long as he was in Bailu Academy.

This is Lu Heming’s only request.

After all, the more outstanding people enter Bailu Academy, the more likely it is that there will be one more person on the list of the Enke exam next year in Bailu Academy.

In recent years, Bailu Academy has become famous and renowned, but the academic levels of its students vary widely, which worries Lu Heming.

Last year, there were several people who made it into the top three, but they were all from their Bailu Academy. This year, Lu Heming plans to recruit a few more good talents, and maybe they can reach a higher level next year.

There is also competition between colleges, especially the competition in recruiting new talents, which is related to their final teaching results.

"Since you already know me, you must know that I have extremely strict requirements for accepting disciples. Are you confident?" Wang Boan's interest was piqued.

He wanted to see whether this champion was worthy of the title.

"I can't say I'm absolutely sure, I'm just willing to give it my best." Wang Yueshan responded seriously.

"Okay, I'll test you now, are you ready?" Wang Boan suddenly had an idea. If he played by the rules, he would not be Wang Boan anymore.

Wang Yueshan: “…” The surprise came too suddenly, I was afraid I couldn’t handle it.

Why didn't Shiying say that Wang Boan was so impatient?

If I had known earlier, he would have read a few more books these days, which would have made him more confident.

Wang Yueshan nodded to show his agreement.

"I will ask three questions. If you can answer them all, you will be a member of Bailu Academy. But it is not easy to become my disciple. Please listen carefully." Wang Boan looked at Wang Yueshan and said seriously.

At this time, Wang Yueshan was very respectful and took it very seriously.

"The first question is a riddle. The riddle is: He has black hair on his head and wears dragon-scale armor. He is not afraid of strong winds and heavy rains, but he is afraid of being chopped down by woodcutters." Wang Boan looked at Wang Yueshan and raised his hand, asking Wang Yueshan to answer.

Wang Yueshan said without hesitation: "This thing is a pine tree. The heavy snow weighs down the green pine, and the green pine stands tall and straight. Am I right?"

Lu Heming smiled. This question was not difficult at all for Wang Yueshan.

Wang Boan nodded and moved on to the next question.

"Write an impromptu poem about summer." Wang Boan made a ruthless move this time.

If you don't have this ability, the title of Jieyuan is just an empty title.

Wang Yueshan was stunned. A poem about summer?

"Heaven sent me to be a farmer in my hometown, with a three-acre mountain garden beside Mirror Lake. The tender grass looks green as rice seedlings after the rain, and the little butterflies fly through the flowers like yellow cocoons. People laugh happily while drinking and eating chickens, and the harvest is abundant in every year with ten winds and five rains. When we meet, I am happy that the mulberry and hemp are growing, and I have forgotten about the rich and the poor when I talk about them." Wang Yueshan looked at Wang Boan, his brain working quickly.

This is a poem he came up with after inquiring about some things about Wang Boan these days. Although it is not his original work, it is very consistent with Wang Boan's situation. What Wang Yueshan wants is Wang Boan's resonance, so that his chances of winning will be greater.

Wang Boan was stunned, then nodded.

"That's true. When we meet, we are just happy to see each other grow crops. When we want to talk, we forget about wealth and poverty. How many people can do that?" Wang Boan said after being stunned for a moment.

Lu Heming also looked at Wang Yueshan in surprise.

This boy is extraordinary. He can actually impress his old friend whose expression has hardly changed over the years.

It is really amazing that I can be inspired by a poem now.

Wang Boan's heart was also in a state of confusion, with a lot of thoughts on his mind.

"For the third question, just tell me what you think about the current court. This opinion is known only to the three of us and will not be passed on to anyone else." Wang Boan gave a reassurance.

After all, students are not allowed to discuss state affairs, but Wang Boan wants to use this as one of the requirements for passing, which shows that he is very optimistic about Wang Yueshan.

"Master, you think too highly of me. I just want to say one thing: water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. This is my evaluation. As for the rest, I have no idea yet." Wang Yueshan bowed regretfully.

He knew the test was hopeless.

It's not that he doesn't want to answer this question, but he can't answer it. After all, he doesn't know the current court very well. If he rashly gives advice, it would be a minor offense but a major one, which would be the loss of his life.

Who can guarantee that there are no ears behind the walls?

However, it was this attentiveness that Wang Boan tested, and Wang Yueshan unexpectedly passed by accident.

He deliberately said that only three people knew about it and it would not be spread outside, in fact, he was testing Wang Yueshan's level of caution.

This boy is careful and cautious. In order not to reject his face, he said an ambiguous sentence. Although it seems to be a lie to outsiders, only Wang Boan knows that it is futile to say more at this time. Only this sentence is the most real. Every word and action is meaningful, which makes people reflect on themselves. Very good!

"If you pass the three questions, you will be a student of Bailu Academy from today on. Just let us know in advance when you are coming to the academy and we will make preparations for you. The annual tuition is thirty taels of silver, including food and accommodation." Wang Boan raised his eyebrows.

Given the conditions, Wang Boan didn't believe that a poor student would have thirty taels of silver. In fact, he was testing Wang Yueshan in disguise.

If there are difficulties, he is willing to make some concessions because he values ​​talent.

Wang Yueshan looked at Wang Boan and Lu Heming in surprise, wanting to confirm again whether this was true.

However, Lu Heming nodded to indicate that this was true.

Wang Yueshan was really shocked.

"If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will handle it appropriately." Lu Heming didn't want to lose such a good seedling, so he said.

"Yes, I am very grateful, but I will do my best in everything I do." Wang Yueshan bowed his head and then frowned. Everyone said that Bailu Academy was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.

Wang Yueshan was a little hesitant, but he finally had the opportunity, so how could he give up? If he gave up, wouldn't he disappoint his parents and sisters?

"If you want to become my disciple, you need to do one more thing. Only when you accomplish that thing will I agree to accept you as my disciple." Wang Boan said.

"Yes, Master, please go ahead." Wang Yueshan said with a smile.

"It's too early to shout." Wang Boan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Then I saw the jade pendant hanging on Wang Yueshan’s waist, which seemed familiar.
