The Hall Examination’s reward included the Eldest Son of Lin’s Storm Calming.
If the Lin Residence wanted to take back the Storm Calming, there would be many twists and turns. The Lin family had helped him when he was down. Just as he often said, a drop of water would be repaid with a spring. An Le felt that if it was possible, he might be able to help.
However, the Hall Examination was not easy. What An Le had to do now was to top the rankings of the Spring Quarter Examination and enter List A before he was qualified to participate in the Hall Examination.
Body Tempering, Spirit Refinement, and peaceful reading.
An Le’s days returned to the calmness of his bitter cultivation. Although his reputation in Lin’an was growing, it did not affect his life much.
Lin Qingyin also understood the Matriarch’s intentions. She wanted her to acknowledge An Le as her master.
She did not resist much and accepted it with a smile. The next day, she brought Lin Zhuifeng and the servants of the Lin Residence to Imperial Ancestral Temple Alley.
The discipleship tuition fee was rather high. Other than 600 Origin Spirit Coins, there was also spirit beast meat, spirit wine, and so on. It was very solemn.
An Le did not expect Lin Qingyin to perform the apprenticeship ceremony so solemnly. He thought that he could just say it casually. After all, An Le was teaching Lin Qingyin how to paint.
At that time, Lin Zhuifeng was rather emotional. Ninth Sister could only be his disciple. It was a pity to only take such a good-looking person like Young Master An as a master.
After leaving the small courtyard, An Le ate a bowl of hot beancurd and strolled to West Lake.
Huating Scholar Liu Yue and a few scholars were talking about something, their eyes solemn.
Seeing An Le coming over, Liu Yue waved excitedly and bade farewell to the other scholars. He walked with An Le and strolled along the long dike.
“Brother An, the Spring Quarter Examination is in two days. I wonder if Brother An is confident?” Liu Yue had been chatting with An Le recently and their relationship was harmonious.
An Le read the Great Confucian’s work, Literary Words, and smiled. “I’m confident, but doing my best is the greatest respect for the Spring Quarter Examination.”
When Liu Yue heard this, his eyes sparkled. He looked at the surging West Lake and took a deep breath. “Great Zhao has moved south for 500 years. It’s prosperous like a dream and time flies. However, we still know from books that the north of the Blue Wave River is the homeland of Great Zhao.
“Now that the Great Zhao Dynasty has settled down in the south, it no longer has the intention to recover the lost land. If I succeed in becoming an official, I will definitely report to His Majesty and take back my homeland. This is what scholars should do.”
Although Liu Yue was not a cultivator, he had passionate ambitions.
An Le glanced at Liu Yue and smiled. “Then I wish Brother Liu good luck in the exam and help the country solve its problems as soon as possible.”
Liu Yue immediately grinned. “By the way, Brother An, there’s a literary conference tonight. It’s organized by a few of my good friends in Lin’an. Brother An, are you willing to participate?”
When An Le heard this, he shook his head. “I have many things to do every day, so I won’t go.”
When Liu Yue heard this, he wasn’t surprised. Master An was becoming more and more famous in Lin’an. How could such a famous person easily attend an ordinary literary conference?
Just as the two of them were walking by the long dike…
In the distance, a small boat slowly sailed over.
A familiar maidservant stood on the boat. When she saw An Le, she bowed and said, “Master An, my young lady invites you. I wonder if you’re willing to come on the boat today.”
An Le turned to look at the flower boat in the middle of the lake. Fairy Yun Rou nodded at him from afar.
A smile appeared on his lips. There was no need to go to the Lin Residence to work today, so An Le naturally did not refuse.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Miss.” An Le cupped his fists.
After bidding farewell to Liu Yue, he boarded the small boat under the other party’s envious gaze.
The boat slowly sailed towards the flower boat.
After transmigrating here for a long time, An Le finally fulfilled his small wish and boarded the flower boat in the center of West Lake..
