Countless statues of people appeared in the main hall, lined up in rows. Some laughed, some cried, some knelt, some looked up. Everyone's attitude was completely different. If all of them were the same, then only those eyes were filled with benevolence.

He kept walking in, kept looking, and finally, he saw himself.

That's right, it was him. He wore the clothes of a scholar, and he had a smile on his face. Within his eyes, there was an indescribable, calming power.

Zhao Lingyi was at a loss. He had come to worship a saint, why would he worship himself?

An orange mist emerged from the statue. It looked like the hair of a young lady. There was only a single strand of it, and it was extremely thin.

He didn't know when he would be able to act like an Elementary Scholar and be as sharp as a needle.

As he thought about this, the world suddenly turned dark. He only felt his mind spin, and when he opened his eyes, he had already returned to the place where he worshipped the Saints.

"What an eye-opener! In this world, there are actually two people that can open up palaces!"

Wang Yao spoke with great interest. Clearly, he had also voiced out everyone's thoughts.

Many people were staring at the two of them with envious gazes, but there were only these two people in the crowd. The rest of the team accepted this piece of luck and gradually took shape. They were not as fast as Zhao Lingyi. They were able to open their doors with such speed.

Everyone knew that Shang Yuzhan was a famous prodigy, so they were not surprised. However, Zhao Lingyi was a dark horse who had indeed run away. No one had thought that he would appear here and suppress everyone.

The longer he could stay in the palace, the better. When Zhao Lingyi opened his eyes, everyone had already finished their work, including Shang Yuanzhan.

"The worship ceremony is over. Let's leave." After saying this, the invigilator led everyone out.

After everyone left, the Fellow couldn't help but stop Zhao Lingyi. If it wasn't for Heir Cheng causing trouble, this person would have already become his disciple. However, since Heir Cheng had already spoken, many thoughts could only be dismissed. Resisting the urge to ask, he asked caringly, "What are your plans for the near future?"

Zhao Lingyi performed a student salute and said with a smile, "I want to go to the Cosmic Star Academy. However, it will be a month before the Cosmic Star Academy enters the academy, so it will be convenient for those students from far away to rush here. As the Cosmic Star Academy is in the capital, there's no need for this student to worry. First, I'll review and teach my clan's disciples. "

The academician was very satisfied. He stroked his beard and slowly said, "You are a wise man. Since you are so considerate, I have nothing else to say."

Zhao Lingyi could tell that the Fellow liked him, so he climbed up the stairs and cautiously said, "I wonder if Fellow Fang is fine with it. I have something in my heart that I would like to ask of you."

Fellow still loved his child, so he naturally would not decline. With a smile, he said, "You just need to ask."

Although he knew that he would agree, he was still very happy to hear it. Zhao Lingyi cupped his hands and respectfully said, "I know a little about my own talents, and I want to take advantage of my momentum to take the Elementary Scholar exam again next year. However, I have never taken it, so I am very nervous, so I want to consult you before I go to the Academy. If I can get some pointers, I will be able to enjoy it for the rest of my life."

As the saying goes, wear thousands of clothes, wear tens of thousands of clothes, and not even fart. There was no one who didn't like listening to nice words, especially when praised by such an outstanding young man. Naturally, the Fellow was pinching his beard, and a smile appeared on his face.

He was born of a high family background, but not a low family. After becoming an official, he was able to achieve such a result on his first exam. He was truly an outstanding child.

"The path of the sage is to defy the heavens and change fate, to reverse one's fate. There are naturally difficulties and dangers along the way. If you don't fight with others, then you will be fighting with time. Since you want to cross that long river, so what if I, this old bones, am the person who extradited you? I am only willing to rely on my own strength to send you to the clouds. If only other people knew, that would be great. " He looked at the scholar who was walking out of the room. Although the so-called 'teaching is good for the person,' he did not take the initiative to teach anyone, but if there was someone who came to consult him, he would not decline. Whether it was flattery or frank questioning, they were all fine as long as they had the heart to ask for directions.

In fact, Zhao Lingyi was quite puzzled as well. Why didn't those people come over to ask? To be able to become a Fellow, he had to be a Scholar.

There were two kinds of things, either an advanced warrior's birth or a fellow warrior's birth. "Unlike a warrior, this swordsman was different. He felt embarrassed and reluctant to take a step back. It could be said that he had no taste for food, and it was a pity that he had to give up.

However, he had already reached the level of an advanced warrior. If he didn't want to be in the imperial court, he could come back and teach, or else he could be on the battlefield.

These years, he had not taken any further steps forward, so he decided to come back and teach. As soon as he saw a talented child like Zhao Lingyi, he became extremely fond of him and wanted to help him out. However, even if a child did not have talent, they would still not hesitate to ask. This was to turn their inner demon into a good one.

While thinking about this, Zhao Lingyi changed his mind. After all, not everyone had been reborn like him. Although he had died miserably in his previous life, he was still an imperial concubine after all. Even if he had no merit in accompanying His Majesty, he was still respected.

On the other hand, those people were different. Deep in their bones, their sense of superiority was too strong. They were filled with reverence towards the academicians, so they naturally did not dare to inquire about it.

Zhao Lingyi's words were coincidental, so they discussed and discussed. After dinner each day, the academician would teach his students personally.

After this agreement, they returned home. Because they had something on their mind, they decided not to ride the carriage and instead walked home by themselves.

The higher he climbed, the more Gongsun would look at him with hatred in her eyes. That woman was unreasonable and only thought that he had caused her son's death.

The current Gongsun family could still hold on and would inevitably cause trouble for him. There were both high and low levels of trouble. If Wang Lin had gone all out, he wouldn't have been able to defend himself.

Even though his heart was higher than the heavens, his life was still as thin as a piece of paper.

Zhao Lingyi let out a soft sigh. He thought about how Gongsun Yunqi had looked at him with such a sinister and terrifying gaze, and felt even more certain that there would be people who would give him some knives along the way. They would only be happy if he left them with a bloody mess.

Zhao Zhizhan didn't believe that he would be the first one to abandon him and step on him if he lost all value.

Besides, he had also offended Shang Yuzhan, which meant that he had stayed in the palace for longer than Shang Yuchan. Shang Yuchan did not care about this and was told too much, so he felt uncomfortable.

All in all, this road seemed destined to be made for enemies on all sides.

Walking on this path, there were certain benefits as well. Along the way, there were quite a few people who saw it, and they all looked at it with envy and reverence. With this identity, it was indeed a little unusual.

Zhao Ling Yi could feel it, so he was happy about it. This was the first time he had relied on himself to make others respect him, instead of borrowing their power. It felt so good to be able to rely on himself.

This only served to strengthen his determination and determination to walk down this path.

After buying an exquisite piece of jewelry at the roadside stall, he had changed back into a different person. This item was undoubtedly for Feiyan, who was older than him by two years and was already the best age. Unfortunately, he didn't have the leeway to talk previously, so he had delayed her.

He wasn't young anymore, and he also loved beauty. If he were to use this, he would definitely like it.

Zhao Lingyi thought like this and handed the hair ornament over to her after going back. Feiyan liked it very much, but she couldn't help but say, "Miss, these things aren't cheap. Your hair ornaments aren't enough to wear, so I don't need these."

"Father said that as long as I'm willing to teach in the academy, I will be given a hundred silver taels per month."

When Zhao Lingyi returned, it was just in time for lunch. He sat down and began to eat. The food was exceptionally good today: two meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes and a bowl of chicken soup.

Holding the chopsticks in her hand, she couldn't help poking at the white rice in her bowl. She thought to herself, 'Would Madame Gongsun be able to resist poisoning my own food?'

Lady Gongsun obviously wouldn't give him such a good treatment. It must have been ordered by Zhao Zhizhan. In this man's eyes, whatever benefits he was getting now should be given to his son. He was afraid that he would be cut by the knife.

Flying Swallow was startled for a moment, but she still couldn't suppress the joy on her face. She repeated the question as if she was uncertain: "Is it really a hundred taels?"

As the concubine and the young miss of the mansion, Zhao Lingyi only had four taels of silver a month. Even when the legitimate older brother was alive, he only had 10 silver coins.

It was unheard-of to give a hundred liang of silver for such an offer. No wonder Fei Yan was so happy.

Zhao Lingyi couldn't help but laugh as he saw her so happy. He jokingly asked, "There must be a lot of people who came to pay me gifts these days. You must be accepting money. Why are you so happy?"

"Miss even said that she wouldn't dare to accept so many gifts from these people." Flying Swallow stood there, helping to tell who had brought the gift money, and who else had brought the invitation card, wanting to invite them to the banquet.

Zhao Lingyi ate while listening to the other party talk. After washing his hands, he began to give a simple answer to the people who had invited him. He thanked them in the beginning and then explained his reasons for refusing.
