Fighter of the Destiny

"It seems I didn't do anything wrong."

Chen Changsheng looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Since I didn't do anything wrong, why should I change anything?"

When he said this, his expression did not change much, only his breathing became heavier in an unnoticeable way.

Only his senior brother knew this detail, which meant that he was very angry.

The middle-aged woman's expression became serious and she said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I... am afraid of dying." Chen Changsheng's voice was as hard as iron, "... so the first thing I did when I came to Kyoto was to go to the Divine General's Mansion to break off the engagement. Just yesterday, I was also planning to enter the Tiandao Academy or the Star Reaching Academy. After that, I will choose another day to cancel the engagement... But I'm sorry, I really changed my mind now."

The middle-aged woman stared at him with slightly cold eyes.

Chen Changsheng looked back at her quietly and said, "Unless you realize what you have done wrong, remember my name."

The middle-aged woman was silent for a long time.

"Actually, I admire you very much."

She looked at Chen Changsheng with some complicated emotions in her eyes: "I have been watching your daily life these days. I have never seen a young man so self-disciplined at such an age. And these four admission exams, you The things that are shown are rare and worthy of appreciation...I even sometimes think that if I have a daughter, marrying her to you would be a good choice."

Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say, but when he was praised, he always had to respond. After thinking for a while, he said two words: "Thank you."

Saying thank you at this time is a little funny, a little cute, and a lot respectable.

The middle-aged woman looked at the stone wall behind the courtyard gate and said, "But unfortunately, no one in the world will think that the young lady should marry you."

Chen Changsheng followed her gaze and saw many names densely carved on the bluestone wall. This is behind the main gate of the college. This is not the list for the admission examination, so what is the list? He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen similar stone walls behind the gates of Tiandao Academy and Star Reaching Academy the day before yesterday, with many names engraved on them.

There is a line of words engraved on the top of the bluestone wall - "The good wind takes advantage of its strength to send me to the blue clouds."

Seeing this line of words, Chen Changsheng thought of the records in the book, and realized that what was engraved on the bluestone wall was the legendary Qingyun Bang.

There are countless strong people in the mainland, but genius always begins at a young age - the Qingyun Ranking is the ranking list of strong people under the age of twenty. The names that can be on the Qingyun Ranking are without exception the core disciples of the inner sects who have been fully cultivated by various sects in various countries, or the geniuses with extraordinary talents. As long as they do not disappear halfway, these names will eventually become truly strong.

All colleges in Kyoto and elsewhere have elite rankings at the entrance. The college wants to use the dazzling names on the list to encourage students to make progress and increase cohesion among college classmates, but the effect is not very good - students They knew very well that there was no possibility for them to enter the Qingyun Ranking. Those names made them admire and awe them until they despaired.

The Qingyun Ranking does not ask about knowledge, realm, or sect, nor does it distinguish between men and women. It only asks about strength and weakness. The only restriction is that those on the list must not be over twenty years old. There have been many times when a relatively low-level person occasionally defeated a high-level strong person once, and then ranked high on the list - this caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

When Tianji Pavilion established the list, this selection standard has been questioned many times, but Tianji Pavilion's answer is simple and powerful - no matter the level of knowledge or even the cultivation of spiritual temperament, the final combination is the overall strength, Qingyun Ranking Review What is important is overall strength, and the best way to judge is, and can only be, victory or defeat.

Chen Changsheng's eyes moved on the names on the Qingyun List. Those names were very unfamiliar to him, and occasionally he could see some strange surnames. They might be young masters from the Demon Realm, or they might be geniuses from the Tu tribe in the southern forests. Suddenly, he saw Tang Tang's name on the thirty-sixth position. Thinking of the young man in Tsing Yi talking about the origin of his name Tang Sanshiliu in Tiandaoyuan, he couldn't help but laugh happily, feeling very sorry for him. The other person feels proud and glorious.

Finally, his eyes came to the highest point of the stone wall, and he saw the name hanging there, aloof and a little lonely, lonely and even colder and prouder, the name he knew, the name he should be familiar with - —Xu Yourong.

"The Qingyun List records all the young geniuses in the world. Our Great Zhou Dynasty is full of talents. There are more than ten people on the list in the Divine Capital alone. There are four from Tiandao Academy and three from Star Reaching Academy. However, compared with the Southern Changsheng Sect, Huaiyuan, etc. Compared with the other places, it is not particularly outstanding. Until my young lady enters the rankings, the winner will be decided between the north and the south..."

The middle-aged woman looked at the stone wall, unable to hide her pride, and she didn't need to hide her pride. She said calmly: "...two years ago, when the young lady entered the list for the first time, she was directly listed at the first place. From that day on, she never came down again. For the young geniuses behind, let alone catching up, it is difficult to even get close."

Chen Changsheng looked at the name on the top of the stone wall and was speechless. He has kept the marriage certificate himself for the past four years. He has read it many times. He knows her maiden name very well and how old she is. Based on this calculation, this Miss Xu Mansion was on the Qingyun List when she was twelve years old. Invincible... the true phoenix's blood is really amazing.

The middle-aged woman withdrew her gaze, looked at Chen Changsheng and said solemnly: "You are indeed excellent. You have not succeeded in marrow cleansing, and you have the ability to enter those colleges. However, the gap between you and the young lady is too big... This has nothing to do with struggle. It has nothing to do with talent or hard work. You keep climbing up on the road of your life. I believe you can climb to a very high mountain. But Miss, she has already left there. If you stubbornly want to follow She, you will definitely be greeted by thunder from the sky."

Chen Changsheng was silent, and then he remembered the reincarnation of the real dragon mentioned by the maid Shuang'er, the genius who was universally recognized as a perfect match for Xu Yourong.

"Akiyama-kun..."

The middle-aged woman did not expect that he knew the existence of Qiu Shanjun, and said expressionlessly: "Qiu Shanjun has been at the top of the Qingyun list two years ago."

Chen Changsheng asked: "Why did he come out of the rankings? Because he didn't want to lose to Miss Xu?"

The middle-aged woman said: "Qiu Shanjun broke through the status quo two years ago and is now the leader of the Midas Ranking."

Chen Changsheng sighed and found that it was difficult for him to find any comfort in this matter, because those were all high-ranking people, and he himself, not to mention being on the Qingyun list... He even wanted to be on the college's admissions list. It's extremely difficult. They are really two completely different worlds.

He asked: "Previously you said that the gap between me and Miss Xu has nothing to do with talent or struggle, so what exactly does it have to do with?"

The middle-aged woman said: "...it only has to do with fate. Even if you are the best ordinary person, you are still an ordinary person, and Miss, she has not been an ordinary person since she was born. You were born as a human, and she was born as a human being. Feng, the gap between the two sides is as big as heaven and earth."

"It turns out...it's fate again."

Chen Changsheng sighed with emotion. After being silent for a long time, he looked at the middle-aged woman and said seriously: "You may not believe it, but I came to Kyoto just to change my destiny... Although it has nothing to do with the engagement, the word destiny is really important to me. It’s not very convincing.”

The middle-aged woman was slightly startled. She didn't expect that she had spoken so clearly, but he still refused to let go.

As the sun set, Chen Changsheng walked towards the other side of the street, following the crowd further away.

The middle-aged woman noticed that at the beginning, his head was a little low and his body was a little rickety, making him look a little lonely and tired. However, after a short time, his body gradually straightened up, his head gradually lifted up, and he started again. Gaze at the crowds on the street and the sunset in the distance.

The twilight shone on the young man's body as if it was burning.

…

...,

"I have never seen such a self-disciplined boy. He controls his diet and daily life very strictly and perfectly, without any bad hobbies or entertainment. He cherishes time so much that I always feel like someone is chasing him, or someone is chasing him. The whip kept beating him, but he didn't make people around him feel anxious. It can be seen that he likes to enjoy life, or life... but he has some slight mysophobia, which I counted on the first day , he washed his hands seven times in total, and there should be more than five handkerchiefs."

In the General's Mansion, a middle-aged woman stood in front of Mrs. Xu and said expressionlessly: "Madam, I must say, this child is very good. If you give him a chance, he will grow up very quickly. If there are more A good opportunity may lead to a good future.”

Mrs. Xu did not expect that this woman who had been following her for decades and had always been loyal would actually speak for the child. She frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

The middle-aged woman said: "Of course it's impossible for the young lady to marry him... But it's better to kill him directly if he is suppressed and humiliated like this right now. Otherwise, if he really has a chance to stand up in the future, even if the family is not afraid, there will be some trouble. Or... I thought that young man was a good person, why should he be like this?"

This kind of logic is probably difficult for ordinary people to understand, but Mrs. Xu understood it. She didn't expect that the woman really admired Chen Changsheng. She also remembered what Xu Shiji said in the study that night and looked at her deeply. , said: "There are many people staring at the Divine General's Mansion...especially those old guys who are unwilling to give up. If there is a scandal in the mansion, even if it does not affect the overall situation, the Holy Queen will definitely not be happy. So this matter needs to be done It would be best to do it more carefully, and to obtain the marriage certificate through peaceful means. If in the end, the young man still wants to insist on his poor self-esteem, or wants to seek greater benefits, then he can only be allowed to do so quietly. Die. That will also bring some trouble, but getting rid of the source of the trouble is also a way."

…

…

Shuang'er returned to the room and stayed at the table for a long time. Thinking about the conversation she heard outside the door of Madam's room, she felt a little restless and uneasy. She picked up the cold teapot and drank half of it, but couldn't make any more. Calm down. She knew that she was able to eavesdrop on so many words, but in fact it was just the madam who wanted her to hear... The madam knew that she often corresponded with the young lady, and deliberately let her hear these words. Naturally, she wanted to tell the young lady about this through her, which was regarded as a notification. . Of course the lady cannot marry that guy named Chen Changsheng, but is that really necessary? Will the lady agree?

She walked to the table, spread out the paper, dipped her pen in ink, thought for a while, and started writing.

When the story is fully unfolding, the weight that should be placed on the shoulders of the hero is basically put on it, either explicitly or implicitly, and then the curve will naturally start to rise, and everything will become better, both in the book and in reality. , tomorrow Chen Changsheng will start to encounter good things and good people, and then we will also encounter good things. Starting from the day after tomorrow, we will try to write more, because there are never too many happy plots and we cannot stop. ah.
