Chapter 32: Time is not wasted
Zhang Yi's gaze was also soft, the kind of softness that could easily inspire trust.
He never seemed to stare at anyone, yet he seemed to be looking at everyone at all times, so that no one felt neglected.
As at this moment, Ding Ning's gaze had only just landed on him before Zhang Yi noticed him as well, then gently nodded to him gently.
A mere White Sheep Cave actually had such a character?
Ding Ning felt the other party's aura and began to be truly surprised.
"I understand that I know I'm not as good as Eldest Senior Brother in any way, but I also understand one thing at the same time, that no matter what our White Sheep Cave is like today or what it will be like in the future, our White Sheep Cave however has never had a waste, a person that one would feel ashamed of." The tender boy named Shen Bai inhaled deeply, unable to stop his hands from being slightly entangled because of the agitation of his mood, "Since Eldest Senior Brother has said so, we won't spread all our grievances on his head, it's just that if he wants to be initiated, he should at least let us feel that he has the qualifications to enter, and also pass some of our tests for initiation."
Zhang Yi's gaze once again fell on Ding Ning.
Looking at this teenager whose eyes were serene and always cloudy, his eyes also revealed some strange luster.
"The initiation test isn't that important, you all should also know that for every great test, even if you pass it, the final decision lies in the hands of the Cave Lord. Now since the Cave Master has already agreed, then he is already our White Sheep Cave's Junior Master, and to block here now is to lack etiquette and fellowship." Zhang Yi said softly, "And I can guarantee that in the future, this Junior Brother will definitely have great achievements."
"Who can speak lightly about the future? I on the other hand don't care about future matters, I only believe in the matters in front of me."
Seeing that the group of students in front of the mountain gate had gradually calmed down their grievances under Zhang Yi's soft voice, the mountain path behind them, however, was another clear and cold voice that came out.
This voice caused the gray-shirted swordsman, who was waiting somewhat apprehensively in front of the carriage, to chill through his body, feeling a great power from the clear and cold words.
He had previously only felt that Ding Ning was afraid that he would have no small amount of trouble after his initiation, but now it seemed that even this entry into the mountain gate wasn't as simple as he had imagined.
"Senior Brother Su Qin!"
The eyes of several teenagers, including Shen Bai, however, lit up, and judging by their excited and respectful expressions, it seemed as if the incoming person was originally going to have a higher status than Zhang Yi in their minds.
The person who stepped out from the mist was equally graceful, with sword brows and starry eyes, even if he was thrown onto the busiest street in Changling, people could recognize him at a glance.
"If you don't see it with your own eyes, how can your heart be at peace?"
"If you don't do it yourself, and it spreads to the outside, you would think that our White Sheep Cave has no rules, and that anyone who wants to enter can do so, and that it's a place that hides dirt and grime."
It was the same handsome, but this person's eyes and tone were full of sharpness, like a sword with a cold flashing light.
Such an aura was especially easy to mesmerize young people.
There were actually so many uncommon cultivators in White Sheep Cave?
Ding Ning, however, did not care about the words themselves, feeling the aura of this handsome young man carrying a longsword, his eyes once again showed a light of surprise.
Zhang Yi's face changed slightly.
He had the confidence to convince all the students here, but had no way to convince Su Qin.
Especially since Su Qin's words were supposed to harbor a deep machination like a dagger in his sleeve.
"Don't try to convince me."
However, Su Qin's words didn't stop, just like the dagger in his sleeve, he couldn't resist revealing a cut, his sharp gaze falling on Zhang Yi's body, "You should understand that an uneven heart... especially at a time like when we merged into the Green Vine Sword Academy an uneven heart will give birth to a lot of things."
Hearing such words and looking at Zhang Yi, who had already been unable to resist frowning, Ding Ning raised his head slightly, wanting to speak.
However, right at this moment, a cold and contemptuous female voice rang out from the back of the carriage where the gray-shirted swordsman was located, "No wonder the White Sheep Cave suffered such a change, it turns out that it will only fight within its own ranks."
The gray-shirted swordsman froze, turned around, only to find that the road behind the carriage, I do not know when has come to a number of students wearing purple satin robes, of which the first one, is a petite beautiful girl.
In addition to Zhang Yi and Su Qin, all the White Sheep Cave students gathered at the mountain entrance changed their faces greatly.
Especially after seeing the color and pattern of the other party's clothing, Shen Bai instantly burst into a rage and snapped, "Bullshit, what are you!"
Ding Ning turned to look at these several uninvited guests in purple satin robes, and especially looked at the beautiful young girl at the head of the group, and couldn't help but secretly sigh.
His current cultivation was still relatively low, so under the cover of the carriage, he had also not noticed these people coming up the mountain road behind him at all.
It was just that within these people, this beautiful young girl in the lead he recognized.
So he was also very clear now why Shen Bai was furious, and right now it seemed that this originally simple initiation seemed to have become more complicated again.
"I am not something."
The face of the beautiful young girl was originally shrouded in a layer of frost, and at this moment, when she heard Shen Bai's angry voice, her eyes became even colder and full of sarcasm: "I am Nangong Cai Beans, a disciple of Qingteng Sword Academy, and my father is Nangong Broken City. If I'm not mistaken, you should be Shen Bai, the youngest disciple of the White Sheep Cave, and your father should be Shen Fei Jing, who was originally supposed to be a general under my father's seat."
Shen Bai's face suddenly became incomparably pale, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.
He knew that the other party was a disciple of the Green Vine Sword Academy, yet he hadn't thought that the other party was of such an identity.
The concepts of rank and origin in the military were heavier than elsewhere.
The subordinates were extremely respectful of the generals who promoted their origins.
Because most of the battles are decided and commanded by the superior generals, absolute obedience to orders in battle, the life is held in the hands of the superior generals, can survive in the fight, continuous reward, which shows the superior generals wise, excellent dispatch. In the merit, naturally, there is also a part of the upper-ranking generals, naturally, we must remember this favor.
Nangong Cai Beans, was an object that even his father had to honor.
Yet he called her something.
"If it were in our Green Vine Sword Academy, and our dean agreed to someone entering the academy to study, we would definitely not block the gates of the academy to prevent him from entering. As for you guys saying that you can't see what he is capable of right now, I just want to tell you one thing, just one cultivator under the seat of the Li Ling Jun has caused me, Xu Heshan, and Xie Changsheng to suffer humiliation, yet he has caused the Li Ling Jun to suffer humiliation. You guys can think about how much of a difference there is between the White Sheep Cave and the Yeo Ling Monarch's Mansion, if he wanted to choose, he would have become a seatmate of the Yeo Ling Monarch's Mansion by now."
Nangong Cai Beans, however, continued with a sneer, "Now he chooses White Sheep Cave, and you guys actually still dislike people and block him with your end?"
There was an uproar around the mountain gate.
All of the White Sheep Cave disciples looked at Ding Ning with unbelievable gazes.
Although the Liling Monarch was only a protégé, yet his rapid rise over the years had long since made the Liling Monarch's residence an existence that surpassed the average cultivation place.
Some of the stories amongst the marketplace had obviously not reached the White Sheep Cave, and they did not believe that an ordinary marketplace teenager like Ding Ning would be able to cause Lord Li Ling to feel humiliated.
In the midst of such an uproar, Su Qin, whose gaze was always sharp, raised his eyebrows slightly, a layer of cold light flashing across his handsome face as he moved his lips slightly, wanting to speak.
However, right at this moment, a very calm voice rang out, "It's just a simple initiation, why make it so complicated?"
There was an abrupt silence in front of the mountain gate.
Everyone was staring at Ding Ning in a daze.
It was only then that everyone remembered that the true protagonist of the scene, the one who had caused the controversy, had only opened his mouth for the first time until now to voice his opinion.
Simple?
This was something simple?
Su Qin's sharp gaze grew colder, and his brows unconsciously knitted.
But Ding Ning still didn't give him the chance to open his mouth to speak, because just from the several images that Su Qin had just appeared on the scene, he could tell that Su Qin possessed a higher level of prestige in the White Sheep Cave than Zhang Yi, and he could tell that Su Qin was very eloquent.
He was thankful that Nangong Cai Beans would speak for him, yet he really didn't want to waste too much time here.
"Since there's some kind of test, just let me test it so that no one will have any opinions." Ding Ning said with a calm face, looking earnestly at the pale-faced Shen Bai, at the worried Zhang Yi, and at the chilled Su Qin.
"Really?"
Su Qin's eyebrows raised even more as he finally spat out two words.
Zhang Yi and Nangong Cai Bean's faces, however, changed.
But Ding Ning, who did not want to waste any time, had already nodded his head decisively, "Yes."
The field once again became absolutely silent.
Everyone's gazes carried deep puzzlement and skepticism, and they were all thinking to themselves that this marketplace teenager was too gullible to know that all the cultivation sects' entrance tests were extremely difficult to pass, or was he truly gifted and possessed absolute confidence?
"Come on."
Yet Ding Ning was instead saying with a faint smile.
Su Qin's breathing inexplicably lurched, his eyes narrowing slightly before he too smiled, revealing some snow-white teeth.
"Fine, let him try."
