Chapter 60: Myriad Willow Convention

The coachman drove the horse carriage and left. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.

Like spring leaving.

When the youth who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard saw this, he said with vicissitudes of emotion, "The disparity between people is really huge. When I was suffering in the Court of Judicial Review's prison, you were enjoying yourself in the academy. Not only is there a horse carriage to ride, but there's also such a figure to be your coachman."

Xie Nandu smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother is a very nice person."

Wei Xu's reputation in the Divine Capital had always been pretty good. As one of the dean's disciples, the impression that he gave people had always been that of a gentleman. The students in the academy did not think too much about this scholar whom they could often see. Very few people would know that he was a cultivator who had one foot into Nepenthe Realm. UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

But, the truly important figures all knew that this scholar was not to be trifled with.

Not only was he the dean's student, but he was also surnamed Wei.[1. Do you remember? The top two families in the capital are the Xie Family and Wei Family.]

Chen Chao suddenly asked, "What kind of person is that legendary dean?"

Xie Nandu thought about it and said, "Teacher is naturally a very impressive person."

This sounded like a bunch of crap. However, Chen Chao did not retort, but agreed, "You're right."

No one would refute this in the Great Liang Dynasty.

Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao and asked, "Could it be that you're still thinking of becoming Teacher's student?"

Chen Chao said naturally, "If there's such an opportunity, I naturally won't refuse it. That's the dean, do you know that it's some random Tom, Dick, or Harry, on the streets?"

Xie Nandu smiled, "Then you've lost your chance and can't be my little junior brother anymore."

Chen Chao was absorbed in thought and said, "I don't want to be a little junior brother either."

Xie Nandu glanced at Chen Chao, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in.

Chen Chao followed behind and said, "I heard that in the academy, those students all stay in the school dormitory. But, you have a little courtyard in this beautiful scenic place. Indeed worthy of being the dean's final disciple."

Xie Nandu ignored him and just instructed Liu Ye, "Go and bring him the saber."

The time they knew each other was not long or short. She at least knew his personality.

Liu Ye answered and quickly walked inside.

Chen Chao said in amusement, "Your maidservant has a bad temper."

Xie Nandu said with a slight smile, "You have many choices, how is it just one?"

Chen Chao frowned and said, "Putting other things aside, I don't want to work for the Xie Family and call you missus."

"There's no need for that. Right now, the entire Divine Capital knows that we're friends. Your relationship with the Xie Family can't be severed. But there will be some minor trouble."

Xie Nandu looked at the sweet potato that was already exuding some aroma.

Chen Chao teased, "Speaking of which, I'm a hot property now?"

"Not just the Xie Family, the various major families in the Divine Capital, including the Heavenly Imperial Institution and Warden Office, they are probably all very interested in you."

Xie Nandu said, "Because there's a very important thing this year."

Chen Chao frowned and said, "Myriad Willow Convention."

Xie Nandu nodded and repeated softly, "Myriad Willow Convention."

Chen Chao nodded and said, "Like that huh."

Myriad Willow Convention, also known as the Myriad Willow Dao Convention. It was a grand gathering of young cultivators in the world.

At first, it was actually called Myriad Willow Dao Convention and it was held once every decade. Later, someone felt that this name did not sound nice, so he changed it to Myriad Willow Convention.

The various major sects did not object.

Over the years, this event had always been hosted by the various major sects in rotation. This year, it was the ten-year date again.

But this time, it was going to be held in the Divine Capital.

Chen Chao smiled and said, "The Great Liang Dynasty is also merely a sect to those foreign land sects."

Xie Nandu said, "The Myriad Willow Convention has been hosted more than ten times in these 200 over years. No Great Liang Dynasty cultivator had ever taken the top spot."

Chen Chao passed that baked sweet potato to her and said, "Careful, it's hot. Not only did we not win the top spot, our ranking these few times was too terrible to behold."

Xie Nandu gave an mhm. Blowing the sweet potato in her hand, she carefully peeled the skin. Looking at the golden flesh, she felt full of joy.

"Logically speaking, the Myriad Willow Convention has the same rules and our cultivators are also of the same realm. Why is it so terrible?" Chen Chao looked at the young girl who was eating a sweet potato in front of him and asked seriously.

Xie Nandu ate sweet potato in small mouthfuls. Hot vapor rose and that face looked quite satisfied.

Hearing this question, she thought for a long time before saying, "It's not just an issue of cultivation method."
