Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

Dongfanghong.

President Yuling.

One of the five presidents of Penglai Academy.

There are three Haoyue in Penglai Academy. Except for Bei Mingque, the president of Chuanwu, the other four are not Haoyue, but without exception, they all have the ability to compete for the title of Haoyue.

The difference is that some people don't fight, and some people are just a little bit unlucky.

Dongfang Hong was about the same strength as Fu Yulou from Tiandi Academy, but he was unlucky enough to lose to Huang Qixia and missed the opportunity to compete for Haoyue's spot.

His status in Yuling Academy is equivalent to that of Beimingque in Chuanwu Academy, but Dongfang Hong's reputation is much better than that of Beimingque, and many people in Penglai Academy agree with him.

Within three years of his enrollment, Yuling Academy quickly rose to its current high level, almost to the point where it could compete with Chuanwu Academy.

If Bei Mingque is a standard standout, then Dongfang Hong is a leadership talent, but this does not mean that his force value is weak.

He is the only one who broke through the confrontation with Huang Qixia and Ren Beinan and then stood up.

His record was not only a loss, but also a victory over the Miao Monk Kong Wen in the Bright Moon.

The gold content is there.

Therefore, many people speculated that he would choose to participate in this year's Haoyue title.

Bai Yu didn't know much about Dongfang Hong, but when most people mentioned him, they would tell him to be careful about this man... In terms of camps and positions, the two of them were opposites.

From the name, you can tell that Dongfang Hong was born in the Dongfang family. He is the direct descendant of the most promising Dongfang family of this generation. The four families of Dongfang, Nangong, Ximen, and Beiming are not said to be in the same vein, but at least they are advancing and retreating together. They are all millennium-old families. There have also been various marriages, and the interests have been intricately entangled.

Dongfang Hong is also involved in the system dispute between Yu Ling and Chuan Wu.

Taking everything into account, he thought that the meeting between the two would be during the competition for the top spot, but he didn't expect that the other party actually came to him on his own initiative, and it was Mu Yaoxi who said hello.

He immediately cast a doubtful look - Could you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have also betrayed you?

Mu Yaoxi crossed her arms: "He said he wanted to get to know you and let me introduce you."

Bai Yu cupped his fists and responded: "Qianchen Club, Bai Yu, Bai Yujing... I shouldn't have anything worthy of President Yuling's attention."

"The sun is so big, but I'm not blind." Dongfang Hong's light talk revealed his high evaluation of Baiyu, comparing it to the scorching sun rather than the bright moon.

Bai Yu thought to himself, is this considered flattering?

But whether it's the scorching sun or the bright moon, it's just a title, and he doesn't care about it at all.

Because his real goal is to be canonized within three years.

Bai Yu asked straight to the point: "Is something wrong?"

"Yes." Dongfang Hong took the initiative to walk towards the ground support department: "Let's go up and have a chat?"

Bai Yu grabbed Mu Yaoxi's sleeve and said, "You too."

The three of them went up to the second floor, leaving behind the crowds on the first floor.

One person had already taken out his cell phone and started typing furiously on the keyboard.

Just the meeting between the two is enough to fill a post, not to mention that Dongfang Hong also 'inadvertently' revealed that Bai Yu's current cultivation level has reached the third level of extraordinary... Oh my god! How old is he?

The shocking title has been written, and the next step is to post it and wait for the heat to ferment.

…

After going up to the second floor, the ground support department vacated a meeting room for the three of them.

After Bai Yu took his seat, he asked decisively: "Is there anything President Dongfang wants to talk about?"

"How much do you know about the Haoyue Controversy?" Dongfang Hong did not answer, but instead asked a question. This is a common technique. After resolving the other party's problem, he brings up a topic that the other party is more interested in, and controls the conversation by himself. Rhythm.

Bai Yu said: "Not much."

"How much is not more?"

"Basically nothing."

Mu Yaoxi glanced at him: "You are too straightforward."

Bai Yu poured a glass of boiled water to himself: "I am a barbarian."

"The battle for the bright moon mostly starts with nominations. This time, the nomination for the title of the seventh bright moon has already begun." Dongfang Hong explained patiently: "It is difficult for ordinary people to become a bright moon. First, they must be big enough. Only with your reputation can you have a chance to be nominated, and then you have to stand out from all the nominees.”

Bai Yu understood something: "If you are not nominated, you cannot participate in the competition for Haoyue?"

"Of course it is possible." Dongfang Hong said: "You can also seek nominations by yourself. There are many ways. The simplest way is like..."

The young man pointed at himself with a smile: "If you choose a time to challenge me, and then defeat me, then the nomination this time will be yours."

Mu Yaoxi snorted: "Do you think you are funny?"

Dongfang Hong was noncommittal: "Why do you think he can't do it?"

"If nominations can be up for grabs, I'm afraid the process will be very time-consuming." Bai Yu said: "If every nominee has to accept the challenge, wouldn't it be endless?"

"So the nominations will be very careful. Only those who are worthy of the name are qualified to be nominated." Dongfang Hong boasted a little: "Like me, like Fu Yulou, and then the chiefs in Shouwang Academy."

"Who do you want me to challenge?" Bai Yu made the topic clear: "No matter who I challenge, there will inevitably be competition or a battle between the final nominees."

"It's not who I want you to challenge...but who you plan to start with." Dongfang Hong tapped his fingers on the table and said with a deep look: "You are not such a patient person, are you? With a talent like yours, entering the country They are all like overwhelming momentum, like ships riding the wind and waves, unable to stop for a moment.”

Bai Yu still maintained a relaxed posture while leaning on the back of the chair, proving that he was not nervous. In fact, Dongfang Hong gave him a strange feeling, not hostile.

"Tell me your opinion."

"Let's go to the capital." Dongfang Hong said simply and neatly: "If you want to compete for the title of Bright Moon, you can't miss December in the capital."

Before Bai Yu asked in detail what ‘December’ meant.

Mu Yaoxi, who was quietly eating melon seeds on the side, suddenly shouted: "I don't agree! So that's what you had in mind!"

Dongfang Hong smiled and said nothing.

Bai Yu frowned: "Don't play riddles and speak properly."

"Do you know when and where Huang Qixia started?" Dongfang Hong said in a breath-like tone: "Five years ago, it was also December in the capital."

"Above Danqi, you can conquer the world."

"When the lanterns come on, you become famous overnight."

Bai Yu thought, is it related to Huang Qixia?

He was somewhat interested.

He had to be interested in everything related to Huang Qixia, which could be regarded as a warm-up for the upcoming battle, or... he didn't want to disappoint the Phoenix who was sitting looking at the sea of ​​clouds.

Mu Yaoxi grinded her teeth: "Dongfang Hong!"

"If you don't want to listen, why not say it yourself." Dongfang Hong knew the effect was achieved.

Bai Yu looked at Mu Yaoxi and uttered only one word: "Say."

...Even if you don't tell me, I still have a way to know.

Miss Mu's cheeks swelled, then she took a deep breath and squeezed out two words: "Palace examination."

Bai Yu: "Ang?"

"The Palace Examination is the Palace Examination. Every year on December 15th, the Central Committee of Daxia will hold a test for the world's heroes. The Palace Examination is divided into three sessions, each testing civil, martial arts, and divine... But the Palace Examination is extremely difficult. There are only a handful of people who have passed it over the years, and the total number can only be counted on the fingers of one hand.”

Mu Yaoxi made a sign with intertwined fingers: "Just ten people!"

"Five years ago, Huang Qixia passed the martial arts and divine examinations in the palace examination and became famous all over the world. Within two years, she was awarded the title of Jiaoyang."

"In the next four years, only Long Jianquan will pass the Martial Palace Examination, and then he will also be awarded the title of Haoyue."

Bai Yu touched his chin: "So, isn't the imperial examination a shortcut to the bright moon?"

"Behind a windfall is a misfortune. The pass rate for the imperial examination is extremely low. Do you think there is no need to pay for it?" Mu Yaoxi glanced sideways at Dongfang Hong: "How long do you think he lay down after participating? He was almost crippled."

Dongfang Hong exposed his shortcomings and said with a smile: "I participated in two games. I walked in and came out lying down. I almost became a cripple. Fortunately, I survived in the end."

"Although the palace examination is good, non-geniuses cannot participate... If you fail to survive, you will basically have no hope in this life." Mu Yaoxi said quietly: "The questions of the palace examination are different every year, and occasionally the examiners will be changed. ...The examiner Dongfang Hong met back then was Huang Qixia, who can pass this!"

Baiyu will not comment.

Calm eyes, considering.

If you avoid so much trouble and pass the palace examination directly... One palace examination is the bright moon, two is the scorching sun, what about the three?

Well, my heart is really moved.

But there's no need to show it.

Bai Yu said bluntly: "You came here specifically to see me just for these advices? Letting me become the Seventh Bright Moon will not be of any benefit to you."

Dongfang Hong stood up and opened the curtains of the meeting room to let in the sunlight: "As long as you can add a rival to Bei Mingque, I'll be happy to push you."

"...boring." Bai Yu commented indifferently.

"It's indeed boring, but all fights of spirit are nothing more than this." Dongfang Hong said mockingly: "Bei Mingque wants to become the second Huang Qixia, and he doesn't hesitate to drag Ren Nanbei to join forces. Naturally, I should also take some action."

"Why don't you go by yourself?" Mu Yaoxi asked angrily.

"If I had this strength." Dongfang Hong said feeling ashamed: "Bei Mingque is easy to deal with, but Ren Nanbei is not easy to deal with. Even if he is imprisoned by the holy way, he is still an out-and-out scorching sun, and I don't have that." Capital and ability to contact the other two Sunshine.”

"Do you really hate Bei Mingque so much?"

"Hate it?" Dongfang Hong shook his head and said, "That's not accurate. We actually grew up together... friends."

Bai Yu and Mu Yaoxi looked at each other and thought, what kind of plastic friendship do you guys have? The eight chat groups in the girls' dormitory are not so twisted.

"This is going to be more complicated." Dongfang Hong shook his head and didn't want to mention it more. He said bluntly: "The imperial examination is the most suitable opportunity for you. I will say this. Whether you go or not, it's up to you, junior fellow. up to you."

At the same time, he stretched out his hand: "Besides, when we meet for the first time, as a senior, it is not convenient for us to come empty-handed. From now on, when you buy medicinal materials from Yuling Society, I will give you a 20% discount on all the medicinal materials. Just treat it as a token of my appreciation."

It was a big advantage to reach out and not hit the smiling man, so Bai Yu stretched out his hand and held it.

After giving the promise generously, Dongfang Hong shook hands and said, "I have always had good taste. Your eyes are very similar to one of my elders... I hope you will have the opportunity to meet her when you go to the capital."

elder?

Bai Yu almost subconsciously exerted force on his palm, but Dongfang Hong withdrew his hand in advance.

He took the initiative to resign: "It seems that the inspection of the phantom beast over there has ended, so I will take my leave."

Mu Yaoxi chased after him: "I'm going to give this squinty eye a gift!"

Bai Yu stood in the meeting room, thinking a lot.

If Bei Mingque and Dongfang Hong have known each other since childhood, it is not surprising that he knows Bei Mingyao. The four major families are inextricably linked.

"Capital City, Imperial Examination..."

…

"Dongfang Hong!"

"You don't have to thank me."

"Me? Thank you! I thank you!"

"Yao Xi, calm down, be elegant, and don't do anything."

"I come from a military family and don't know the etiquette of a thousand-year-old family!"

"It seems that you really care about this junior, and you didn't even tell him about the Shenwu Division." Dongfang Hong said while descending the stairs: "You obviously have such a powerful support group from Qianchen Society, but you don't Do you plan to use it?"

Mu Yaoxi said with a sullen face: "That's my business."

Dongfang Hong advised: "Being soft-hearted will not accomplish anything."

Mu Yaoxi crossed her arms and said, "He will be leaving in half a year. How could I get him into such trouble?"

"But that's not what you originally thought." Dongfang Hong turned around.

"I have changed my mind. The White Tiger Hall is very important, but it is just a restriction to them." Mu Yaoxi stopped and looked at the white clouds floating in the sky: "Actually, I can understand Tao Rusu's mood very well."

Dongfang Hong smiled quietly.

Mu Yaoxi got goosebumps when she saw this smile: "What's that expression on your face!"

"Happy? Or, emotional?" Dongfang Hongshi smiled and shook his head and said, "I should congratulate you... Miss Mu, who is of the blood of the innate heroic spirit and lives alone, now you finally understand what a true friend is."

"You no longer think about yourself. Only by learning to think from other people's perspectives can you understand empathy and move people's hearts."

"But there's more you need to learn, such as...learning to ask for help."

"It's not about inducement, it's about showing affection."

"I'm sure they will agree."

Dongfang Hong left a few words and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Mu Yaoxi stood there thoughtfully.

…

Not long after Dongfang Hong left the Ground Service Department.

He turned the corner and saw a familiar person.

"You are still you, and you know how to exploit the weaknesses of human nature as always." The visitor sarcastically said.

"It's not about using it, it's just showing them a way." Dongfang Hong folded his hands and said, "And it's the most suitable way. You are the same as before, Long Jianquan."

"Flattery words can move people's hearts, but when can you tell your true feelings?"

"I said, I am here for Beimingque, and this is the truth." Dongfang Hong said very seriously.

Long Jianquan sneered: "The scale of this year's palace examination is unprecedented, and there are so many participants. December is the anniversary of the North Watch School in the capital. The water in the capital is too deep. You'd better pray that nothing happens during the palace examination this time, otherwise... "

Long Ying left.

Dongfang Hong touched the blood stain that appeared on his neck at some point and rubbed his fingertips to wipe it away.

"After returning from the Dragon Country, my realm began to advance rapidly. Another Haoyue wanted to build a bridge between heaven and earth. At this critical moment, he did not go into seclusion but came out to warn me... This change in attitude is really interesting."

"But Long Jianquan, you still underestimated his ability."

"The depth of water in the capital city is perfect for a dragon to ascend into the abyss, isn't it?"
