Chapter 124 Ye Qingyun's Invitation
Chapter 124 Ye Qingyun's Invitation
After seeing Qi Yu handing in Zhao Jianshu's student ID, the audience below were not surprised at all. However, since Zhao Jianshu was a freshman like him and was extremely low-key among the freshmen, his powerful strength had not been exposed.
Although the battle between Qi Yu and him was very difficult, since he had no ranking and no title, in the end, he was only given 200 points.
200 points may be a lot for ordinary apprentices, but for Qi Yu's current score, 200 points is just a small amount.
The old man on the high platform saw that the vines on the formation below had fallen calm, which meant that Qi Yu's scoring was completed. After statistics, Qi Yu's final score was: 5800 points, directly surpassing Ye Qingyun by 1225 points, and directly sitting firmly on the throne of first place.
When the scores were announced, the whole audience was boiling with excitement. Some were cheering loudly, some were jealous and envious, and some were hostile and hateful.
Qi Yu ignored the various people below, but walked down the formation slowly with a calm expression, giving his seat to the next person.
The old man on the stage coughed slightly, and the people below immediately quieted down. They all looked up, and the old man immediately said, "Everyone, be quiet. Next one..."
Qi Yu walked straight through the crowd, ignoring the different looks from the people around him, and came to Su Yuhong. Looking at the smiling Su Yuhong in front of him, he said, "Sister Yuhong, I'm back."
"Of course, I didn't expect you to get first place. I was worried about you before." Su Yuhong gently hit Qi Yu's arm and said coquettishly, "You got first place this time, you have to treat us."
Qi Yu nodded and gently took her hand: "Of course, I hope you will do me a favor when the time comes."
Su Yuhong snorted softly: "Humph, that's more like it."
Just when the two were chatting enthusiastically, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind them. Qi Yu felt the gaze from behind and slowly turned his head to look.
The person who came was the tall follower behind Ye Qingyun. Qi Yu gently pulled Su Yuhong behind him, facing the tall man and asked, "What's the matter?"
The man stared at Qi Yu for a while, then slowly bowed and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Hello, classmate Qi Yu, our master has prepared a place and would like to invite you to come over for a chat."
Qi Yu was stunned. He thought that this man as strong as a bear was here to cause trouble, but it turned out that he was here to convey an invitation.
Qi Yu asked in confusion: "Your young master? Who is he?"
The man replied: "Ye family, Ye Qingyun."
When Qi Yu heard the word "Ye family", his heart suddenly tightened and he became alert in an instant, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the man became more unfriendly.
"Are you here to seek revenge?" Qi Yu asked coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The man quickly waved his hand: "No, my master has no ill intentions, he just wants to invite you over for a chat."
Su Yuhong quickly pulled at the corner of his clothes and shook her head to signal him not to go over. Qi Yu also understood that this was most likely a trap, but it was something that could not be avoided. Since he had already offended the Ye family, it would be better to end it as soon as possible.
So thinking of this, Qi Yu gently squeezed Su Yuhong's hand and gave her a "don't worry" expression, then he said to the man with a serious face: "Okay! Lead the way."
"This way, please." The man stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture, and then walked in front to lead the way. Su Yuhong pulled Qi Yu's arm and said, "I'll go with you!"
Qi Yu turned his head to look at her determined expression and had to let her follow. The man leading the way turned his head to look at this scene, without saying anything more, still with a respectful invitation gesture, and continued to lead the way.
After a while, the three of them walked into a bamboo forest. The bamboo forest was lush and green, and accompanied by gusts of breeze, bursts of natural breath rushed towards them. The three of them felt that all their fatigue seemed to be swept away.
Soon, they arrived at a big gate. There were still two apprentices guarding the door. After the tall man said a few words to the apprentices, the two gatekeepers let them in.
Su Yuhong looked at the surrounding environment and exclaimed slowly: "What a generous move."
Qi Yu didn't understand and looked at her in confusion. Su Yuhong saw Qi Yu's puzzled expression and explained, "This is the academy's simulated training area that provides a meditation environment for people. It is said that the speed of meditation here is twice that of meditation outside."
Qi Yu felt the surrounding environment and found that the air here contained a large amount of natural energy. He only stayed here for a while and he felt the magic power in his body slowly resonating.
However, Su Yuhong changed the subject and said, "However, the rent of this place is also very expensive, so expensive that ordinary apprentices cannot afford it."
Qi Yu was stunned after hearing this and asked, "Ah? How much does it cost to practice here once?"
Su Yuhong shook her head. "If it costs money, then it's fine. This place requires credits to enter. The ticket alone costs 200 credits, and it's charged by the hour, 50 credits per hour. The longer you stay, the more credits you'll have to spend."
"Think about it. Ordinary people can only get 1000 credits in a year of study, and the passing score is 800 credits each year. How can they have the spare energy to practice here? Basically, they are either working to earn credits, or desperately improving their strength to prepare for the next natural trial."
Qi Yu frowned and asked, "If I want to come here to practice in the future, do I have to work?"
Su Yuhong shook her head, winked at him and said, "Working part-time? It's impossible for you to work part-time. After all, you already have more than 5000 credits, which is enough for you to use for a while."
"More than 5000? Could it be that the scores in the trial are credits?" Qi Yu asked in surprise.
After getting Su Yuhong's affirmative answer, Qi Yu suddenly felt as if he was carrying a huge sum of money.
When Qi Yu and the other two walked out of the bamboo forest, the view suddenly became clear. They saw a quaint pavilion located not far away on a gurgling stream.
The entire pavilion is made of Dynasty wood and decorated with green and red Dynasty tiles. Several antique paper lanterns are hung at the four corners of the pavilion.
In the pavilion, there is a set of stone tables and chairs. On the table are several teapots, teacups, and some fruits. A young man is sitting among them, looking at the surrounding scenery while drinking by himself.
