"Thank you for your guidance, sir."
"The student has taken note."
Li Hongcheng looked at Hou Jichang and bowed with his hands clasped.
He scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Where is the gentleman?
"How could a sound be coming from the sky?"
The students in the room were also bewildered, expressing curiosity and confusion about the question.
Li Chengze then noticed Li Hongcheng's arrival and chuckled.
As for his question, he said it calmly.
"The Master is everywhere." (Zero)
Chapter 156 A Poor Scholar and a Young Roughneck! Fan Xian: Bring me the pen, I'm going to show off too!
Hou Jichang had no idea who these inner court disciples were.
I only heard from others that they were all wealthy and powerful people in Kyoto.
So from the very beginning, I felt annoyed.
He wanted to defeat the boy in front of him and use him as a stepping stone to fame.
Unexpectedly, they ended up shooting themselves in the foot.
Hou Jichang was initially very dissatisfied with losing these two games.
He had practiced chess diligently for eight years, yet he lost to a twelve-year-old boy?
In particular, this young man was the kind of aristocratic youth he disliked the most.
He didn't even understand Mr. Su, such a divine figure.
How could I not see through these scions of noble families? Why would they accept a few good-for-nothings as disciples?
However, after Mr. Su personally spoke up and gave him some pointers, he realized that he was in a difficult situation.
Hou Jichang felt awe and dared not have such thoughts again.
Then he cupped his hands and said to Li Chengze.
"Senior brother's chess skills are superb; junior brother humbly admits defeat!"
"Junior brother was presumptuous and offended senior brother just now."
"I hope you will forgive me, senior brother!"
Li Chengze raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
This person had just seen his wooden plaque, but did not call him "senior brother".
At this moment, she heard that her husband and she had a close relationship.
That's why he came over to try and get closer to her, calling her "senior brother" this and "senior brother" that.
That's a bit too quick a change of heart.
However, he didn't show any emotion at the moment, and just smiled faintly.
"It doesn't matter."
As an inner court disciple, his every word and action represents his teacher's teachings.
One should naturally have good manners and a generous spirit.
Of course, the scores that needed to be settled have already been settled with this person.
The people in the chess room now took a closer look at the two of them.
In terms of character and demeanor, who is superior and who is inferior is self-evident.
They couldn't help but feel moved, thinking, "No wonder he is the inner court disciple personally chosen by the master!"
And Li Chengze's statement, "The Master is everywhere."
This instilled in all the students boundless reverence for Mr. Su!
Therefore, they also put in even more effort when playing chess.
He put all his lifelong learning to good use.
Even those who are not very good at chess are extremely well-mannered.
After all, Mr. Su was observing them from who-knows-where.
That means you should definitely show your best side.
Li Chengze uttered this extremely classy remark and then turned and left with a flourish.
Li Hongcheng put away his folding fan and followed along quite consciously.
5. "Second brother, wait for me!"
He knew he didn't have the talent to be an inner court disciple.
However, he managed to get close to an inner court disciple who was present at the scene and become his elder brother.
That's quite good too.
Hou Jichang stood there, feeling a mixture of envy and disappointment.
But when he thought back, he remembered that Mr. Su had been very patient in giving him advice.
Immediately, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
I should be aware of this major exam.
I wonder how the other roommates are doing?
……
In fact, Su Yu did not particularly admire Hou Jichang.
Although he has some intelligence, that's all.
In terms of talent, he is not as good as Li Chengze.
However, since she had already become his disciple...
The growth of these apprentices is also beneficial to Su Yu.
Su Yu was naturally generous in teaching them.
Hou Jichang was not stupid; on the contrary, he was quite clever and shrewd.
This is not a bad thing.
However, excessive research can easily lead to losing sight of one's true self.
This is not a good thing for spiritual practice.
So Su Yu gave him a few pointers.
Hopefully, he can learn something from this and grow as a person in the future.
After all, these people are still teenagers.
When you're young, anything is possible.
As for what will happen in the future, what if he goes astray?
Su Yu couldn't control this, nor did she want to.
Continue drinking tea and fishing.
The perspective then shifts to another examination room.
The humanities exam room is quite large.
It is divided into many categories, including poetry, prose, and calligraphy.
Upon seeing the scene inside, Su Yu raised an eyebrow and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
There were several familiar faces among them.
First came a young man in a blue robe, who had a refined and scholarly air about him.
With a flourish of his pen, he wrote a long piece on the paper.
A young man in blue cloth clothes with slightly dark skin standing next to him spoke with a smile.
"Brother Jialin, you truly deserve to be called a famous young talent on Shandong Road."
"This strategy is absolutely brilliant!"
Because the academy's exams were very open, there were no strict requirements other than not allowing cheating.
So much so that the person speaking was still chewing on half a pancake.
He was chewing, so his speech was a little unclear.
Cheng Jialin smiled slightly and waved his hand modestly.
"General, general."
Although he has some fame on Shandong Road, this is ultimately Yuhua Academy.
It's likely that there are many people with exceptional literary talent in this examination hall.
Therefore, he dared not be too arrogant.
The examiner glanced at the essay and nodded.
They seemed to think it was good too.
Some students went over to take a look and gave it a thumbs up.
They expressed their full praise for this strategy.
Of course, those who can see it are those who have already handed in their papers.
Otherwise, it would be considered plagiarism, and you could be judged as having questionable conduct.
