Another World: How to Practice Without Spiritual Energy
Chapter 19: Legendary Thief Chu Tianxing
night.
Next to a rock in the Warcraft Forest.
Seven people were sitting around a campfire, on which a magical beast was being roasted.
"Brother, your barbecue skills have improved a lot." The fat man drooled as he smelled the aroma of the meat.
Chen Xian was slowly turning the barbecue and sprinkling some seasonings on it.
The aroma became stronger and everyone stared at the barbecue with greedy eyes.
"Dongri, why did you bring condiments with you on the mission?" Liu Yan stared at Chen Xian who was cooking barbecue with her beautiful eyes.
"Food is the most important thing for people. You need to have enough food to eat when you are on a mission. I just like to be fully prepared."
Chen Xian continued to grill the meat.
"What a saying that food is the most important thing for people. Brother Dongri is indeed talented. If the emperor of our empire knew this truth, it would be a blessing for the empire." The speaker was the priest Good.
"The emperor of the empire? They are all dirty guys. They don't care about the lives of us people." The old ghost took a few sips of wine and said meaningfully.
"The emperor of our Beidou Empire is very open-minded. 20 years ago, he abolished the requirement that only nobles could enter school, allowing ordinary people with qualifications to study as well." Liu Yan continued.
"Everyone should have equal opportunities in learning, right?" Ye Ling'er's eyes were clear and a little confused.
"No, it wasn't like that 20 years ago. At that time, only nobles could attend the academy. It was illegal for commoners to attend the academy."
Liu Yan explained.
"Then why did it change?" Chen Xian, who was grilling meat, was also confused.
"Because of a man named Chu Tianxing." Good took over the conversation.
Liu Yan was a little surprised. This was a secret in the empire. She had only heard the vice-president mention it occasionally. She pestered the old man for a long time before he told her what happened.
Ye Ling'er looked at Good with curiosity.
Lao Gui also stopped drinking and looked at Good meaningfully.
"Come on, Brother Good, talk to everyone." Chen Xian cut a piece of barbecue and handed it to Good.
When the fat man saw that the barbecue was ready, he started to work on it and cut a piece for Lilith first.
This made Lilith very curious. Everyone looked at the fat man's actions. The fat man awkwardly cut a piece for everyone else before starting to eat.
"Mm, delicious." Lilith exclaimed.
Others also echoed, only Lao Gui held the barbecue in his hand and stared at Good.
"What did Chu Tianxing do?"
Good swallowed a large mouthful of barbecue and said:
"I also heard from the elders in my family that Chu Tianxing was originally a legendary thief 20 years ago and an elder of the Nice Magic and Martial Arts Academy at that time. He advocated that civilians could freely take the entrance exam, but was opposed by the imperial aristocracy. He was even dismissed from his position as an elder and became an ordinary teacher."
Good paused and took a sip of water.
“It can’t be just like that.” Chen Xian wondered.
"Well, I'm sorry I ate too much just now. I'm a little embarrassed. Keep going."
"After Chu Tianxing became an ordinary teacher, he did not give up his persistence. He accepted a very talented student. In just a few years, he left those noble children far behind and won the first place in the academy. But later someone revealed that Chu Tianxing accepted a commoner. When the emperor knew about this, he sent people to arrest the student. Originally, it was not a serious crime. At most, he would be exiled to the border army to serve the country. However, Chu Tianxing's ideas shook the interests of the nobles, and the student became a victim and died in prison."
"Damned nobles." The old ghost cursed angrily and took a big bite of the barbecue in his hand.
Good was interrupted by Lao Gui's angry curse. Chen Xian went over, patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to continue.
While Good was still organizing his thoughts, Liu Yan at the side spoke up.
"Chu Tianxing, his most proud student died. He was very angry and began to take revenge on the nobles. The revenge of a legendary thief made the entire aristocracy terrified. The nobles and the emperor were forced to change the teaching system from then on."
"Chu Tianxing is truly a warrior." Ye Ling'er said with stars shining in her eyes.
"Bullshit, would that group of despicable nobles compromise so easily?" The old ghost continued drinking with a look of disdain.
"Well, Mr. Mage, you only got the ending right. The process is even more exciting than this." Goode said affirmatively.
Liu Yan was surprised and motioned for Good to continue.
The old ghost also slowed down his drinking and glanced at Good.
The others looked at Good expectantly.
Good cleared his throat.
"That Chu Tianxing, in a few days, shaved the heads of all the noble families in Nice City, not even sparing the emperor, and left a letter, either reforming the teaching method or dying."
"Haha, that feels great!" Chen Xian and Lao Gui said in unison.
Seeing that Chen Xian was as happy as he was, Lao Gui threw a pot of wine to Chen Xian.
"You are not bad, come and drink a pot of wine with me, an old man. Good boy, you are talking well, keep going."
Chen Xian did not refuse and took the wine jug and took a sip.
Good continued awkwardly.
"After that day, all the colleges in the empire began to reform and allow civilians to take entrance exams. But Chu Tianxing has always been a rock on the heads of the emperor and the nobles. They sent out experts and spent five years to kill him. It is said that Chu Tianxing shouted before his death: After I leave, the empire will build more colleges and accept civilians. It's not because they have become kind, but because I have been here."
"He really is a hero." Lilith, who rarely speaks, suddenly spoke up.
"He is a hero." Ye Ling'er also echoed.
"If he died, why didn't the Empire withdraw the order and go back to the way it was before?" the fat man asked puzzledly.
Liu Yan's red lips curled slightly as she explained, "It should be that the five years of civilian education allowed the empire to discover that the potential of civilians far exceeded that of nobles. By then, it was no longer appropriate to cancel the program, right?"
Liu Yan looked at Good, his eyes revealing deep meaning. The identity of this little priest is not simple.
Good nodded quickly.
"That's great. Come on, Dongri boy, let's have a drink." The old ghost was in high spirits and went to Chen Xian to drink.
Of course Chen Xian accepted all the wines offered, but the taste of the wine was not very good, so he decided to try making his own wine later.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and arranged who would take turns to keep watch, they all returned to their tents to rest.
late at night.
Chen Xian was on guard duty, sitting alone by the fire, playing with the black dagger he bought from Lao Gui.
The old ghost suddenly came out of the tent with a wine jug in his hand. Seeing Chen Xian staring at the black dagger by the fire, he walked over.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this dagger?" The old ghost said with a grin while drinking.
Chen Xian looked at the old ghost's somewhat distorted face and said.
"Why, are you sick again?" |
"It's an old illness. You said during the day that you could cure it. Is that true?" The old ghost looked at Chen Xian hopefully.
Chen Xian nodded, then looked at the dagger and stopped talking.
After a long while, the old ghost spoke hesitantly.
“Can you help me with treatment?”
"Why?" Chen Xian continued to stare at the dagger in his hand and said lightly.
Lao Gui didn't know how to start, and looked at Chen Xian with complicated eyes. This kid was young, but he was very thoughtful. Although he actively chatted with everyone during the day, he was actually trying to understand everyone's strength. If he wanted him to help treat the disease, he would definitely have to pay a high price. Lao Gui didn't know how to make a decision.
"Too much alcohol is bad for your health. I have some tea here, and I need your story to wash it down. What do you think, Senior Chu?"
