I am a winner with Chinese poetry

He stroked his beard gently and said slowly, "I am from the Chu Kingdom. My surname is Xie Jinglun and I come from the Xie clan. You have three senior brothers and sisters above you! Your eldest brother Lu Huaiyuan is a fourth-rank peak scholar, talented and well-known! Your second sister Lin Yican is also a woman who is as capable as a man, a fifth-rank peak scholar! As for your third brother Li Geyang, he is also a fifth-rank peak scholar!"

"Of the few of them, only your third senior brother remains in the Book Mountain Holy Land. Your eldest senior brother and second senior sister have already gone out to gain experience. When they return one day, I will introduce them to you one by one so that you can get to know each other. For now, I will call your third senior brother here so that you two brothers can get to know each other as soon as possible!"

After saying this, Xie Jinglun looked at his young disciple with a smile on his face, his eyes full of fondness. This new disciple was not only unpretentious, but also completely devoid of the petty attitudes often associated with children from ordinary families. He really liked him!

In this way, the master and the disciple chatted happily for a while. Just then, there was a slight knock on the door. After Xie Jinglun agreed, the door slowly opened, and a tall and heroic young man stepped in.

"Disciple greets Master! I wonder why Master has summoned me so hastily? What on earth is the purpose?" The speaker was Xie Jinglun's third disciple, Li Geyang. He approached with a brisk pace, his figure erect as a pine tree, his steps light as a swallow.

This man looked to be about twenty years old, with a good appearance, sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, eyes as bright as stars, a high nose bridge, and thin and rosy lips. He could truly be described as handsome and elegant.

At this moment, Xie Jinglun smiled and pointed at Gu Yunzhou beside him and said, "Geyang, come quickly. Let me introduce you. This is Gu Yunzhou, my new disciple today. Next year, he will officially enter the academy to study. Later, you can take him for a walk around and familiarize him with the environment of our academy."

Li Geyang looked in the direction of his master's finger and was slightly startled when he saw Gu Yunzhou. But soon, an ecstatic smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly, "So you are Junior Brother Gu! I've heard so much about you! A lot of people have been talking about you these days, and I didn't expect we'd become fellow disciples. Haha, I'm your Third Senior Brother, Li Geyang. I'm so happy to see you! From now on, I'm no longer the youngest Junior Brother. Finally, someone calls me Senior Brother! Come on, Junior Brother Gu, call me Senior Brother first, and then I'll take you around our academy!"

After saying that, he took a step forward and enthusiastically took Gu Yunzhou's hand, as if he was afraid that this new junior brother would suddenly run away.

It was obvious that Li Geyang was actually very easy to get along with. After Xie Jinglun solemnly instructed them to announce it to heaven and earth and hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow, Gu Yunzhou left with Li Geyang.

Li Geyang smiled and said to Gu Yunzhou enthusiastically, "Junior brother, let's go take a look around the academy first. You're going to study here next year, so we need to quickly register and reserve a place to stay!"

After saying this, he gently patted Gu Yunzhou's shoulder, signaling him to follow him. Along the way, Li Geyang was completely forthcoming, explaining everything he knew. He detailed the various rules of the academy and some matters that required special attention.

From the daily morning wake-up time arrangement to the teaching style of the teachers in class; from the activities that can be participated in during spare time to the etiquette that should be followed when interacting with classmates... every detail was explained patiently one by one. The two of them chatted and laughed while registering and then came to the residential area.

"All resources needed for cultivation, food, clothing, housing, and transportation at our Shushan Holy Land Academy are exchanged based on the contribution points each person holds. Here, you can either occupy a quiet courtyard and cultivate in peace and contentment, or you can choose to live with three other people, exchange ideas, and improve together."

"Of course, you can also go to Mingdao Hall every day and listen to lectures with many other students. If you want more detailed and professional teaching, you can spend a certain amount of contribution points to go to Mingjingshe and ask those highly respected teachers to give you private lessons."

“However, if you want to get the best education and supreme enjoyment here, you must work twice as hard and make yourself outstanding. Because only a small number of people who are among the most outstanding are qualified to enjoy the most precious resources in the Shushan Holy Land Academy!” Li Geyang said as he raised his hand and pointed to the buildings of various sizes in front of him.

After hearing this, Gu Yunzhou couldn't help but nod in agreement. He thought to himself: The rules and regulations of this Shushan Holy Land Academy do have some similarities with the Wen Academy in Jinzhou County, but in comparison, the Wen Academy's regulations don't seem to be as strict and harsh.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunzhou hurriedly asked Li Geyang, "Third Brother, how can I obtain these contribution points?"

Gu Yunzhou quickly asked the question that concerned him the most. If he didn't figure it out in advance, he might not even be able to get a room for four people when he officially started school next year. Would he really have to sleep on the grass then?

He thought to himself that he was now a disciple of a semi-saint after all. If he couldn't even come up with the contribution points for living and classes, it would not only be embarrassing for him, but also would drag his newly-appointed master into the vortex of public discussion.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunzhou felt that the most urgent thing was to try his best to earn some contribution points while there was still some time before the official enrollment.

Hearing Gu Yunzhou's anxious question, Li Geyang smiled and soothed him, "Don't worry, little brother! Others might worry about contribution points, but you don't have to. You should know that in this trial, you overcame all obstacles and even reached the eighth level. You were even just a step away from successfully passing the ninth level! The academy will naturally not ignore such outstanding performance. As far as I know, such an excellent result as yours will be rewarded with at least 1000 contribution points!"
