Chapter 90 The Untamed 33
When they arrived at the Orchid Room, Wei Ying and Xue Yang saw that everyone else from the Lingyun Sect had already arrived, except their own sister.
Meng Yao came over and said to the two of them with a smile, "Wuxian, Chengmei, I was planning to look for you guys."
As soon as he heard this name, Xue Yang wanted to go berserk.
"Shorty, I've told you so many times, don't call me that."
The word "Chengmei" was given to Xue Yang by Meng Yao, which means to achieve the beauty of adulthood.
Xue Yang was still young at the time and thought the name sounded nice, so he listened to him and gave it this name.
Later, when he grew up, every time he heard this name, Xue Yang wanted to beat himself to death because he was not very literate at that time.
And Xue Yang always called Meng Yao a shorty because he was the shortest among them.
Meng Yao smiled, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks.
"Were you two punished last night?"
Xue Yang rolled his eyes, "It's Wei Wuxian. He couldn't sleep late at night and wanted to go out for a walk."
Wei Ying groaned: "It's all that old-fashioned kid's fault, otherwise I could have drank the Emperor's Smile."
As soon as Nie Huaisang arrived next to them, he heard Wei Ying's words.
He asked, "Brother Wei, who is this old-fashioned guy you are talking about?"
Wei Ying waved his hand: “That’s Lan Wangji.”
Nie Huaisang: “.”
Nie Huaisang gave Wei Ying a thumbs up, "Brother Wei, you are amazing. You dare to provoke Mr. Lan's favorite student on the first day."
Of all the Gusu Lan clan members, the person Nie Huaisang fears the most is Lan Wangji, and he always tries to avoid him.
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
Just as Lan Wangji was mentioned, he walked in from outside.
He was wearing a white robe and had a headband, looking solemn and stern. His aura was like frost, and it seemed as if the temperature dropped a lot when you got close to him.
Lan Wangji glanced at them coldly. For a moment, the dozen or so young masters from aristocratic families who were talking in the room seemed to have become quails. They silently found a seat and sat down. They no longer spoke, but they all left the seat near Lan Wangji empty at the same time. No one dared to sit there.
The people from Lingyun Sect just occupied those seats, leaving one seat in the center for Ling Xi.
Ling Xi came with Lan Xichen.
When Ling Xi came in, she happened to see the seat reserved for her by Wei Ying and the others, so she went straight to sit there.
Some young masters from aristocratic families had never seen Ling Xi, and had only heard of this person who was number one on the list of fairies from aristocratic families. When they saw her today, they were stunned by her beauty.
But before she could have any romantic thoughts, she saw Lan Xichen coming in with her. The two of them had similar temperaments, and their gestures and movements exuded similar auras, just like a perfect couple.
Therefore, some young masters from aristocratic families retracted the thoughts that had just occurred to them for two seconds.
How could they compare to Lan Xichen, the number one son of an aristocratic family?
After Ling Xi sat down, the ceremony began.
In front of her was Meng Yao, behind her was Wen Qing, and her two naughty brothers were on her left and right. The little cutie Wen Ning was very well-behaved and didn't need Ling Xi to watch over her at all.
Lan Qiren sat in the center of the upper seat, with Lan Xichen standing beside him as his assistant.
"The nature of heaven and earth is the great source of difference. The Lan family advocates teaching by stating the principles, clarifying the origin, clarifying the question, speaking in a profound way, and diligently seeking. These four principles are a warning to all disciples."
The students knelt down and bowed: "I obey the master's order."
Next comes the very long and boring part of reading the house rules.
"The Lan family rules have 3,500 items, saying that one must not practice evil ways; one must not use hidden weapons privately; one must not secretly accept apprentices who are not the right ones; one must not privately keep sharp weapons; one must change clothes after bathing; the headband is a symbol of self-discipline, and one must not touch other people's headbands without permission."
The Lan family's disciples read out the family rules one after another in a dull and boring voice. The effect was even more hypnotic than a lullaby.
Wei Ying and Xue Yang soon became bored. Wei Ying muttered quietly, "There are more than 3,000 family rules. It will take several hours to finish reading them."
Xue Yang yawned sleepily. He didn't sleep well last night because he was copying the family rules. Now, listening to the hypnotic voice, he wished he could have a bed to lie down and take a nap.
Wei Ying stretched lazily and then looked around.
At this moment, a bird's cry suddenly sounded in the quiet room where only the disciples were reciting the family rules, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone started looking around, trying to find the source of the sound.
It's like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, instantly bursting into crackling oil.
Wei Ying clearly heard the bird chirping next to him. He looked at Nie Huaisang on his right and asked quietly, "Brother Nie, what fun things did you secretly bring?"
Nie Huaisang was almost torn apart. He didn't expect his bird to make a sound, which attracted everyone's attention.
Nie Huaisang showed Wei Ying the bird he had hidden, then quickly covered it up again.
Wei Ying looked at Nie Huaisang with appreciation: "Brother Nie, well done."
Nie Huaisang: I want to cry but I have no tears.
At this moment, Ling Xi looked at Nie Huaisang, and Nie Huaisang's body subconsciously tensed up.
Nie Huaisang: That’s terrible.
Ling Xi knew who it was as soon as the bird chirped.
She flicked her hand and cast a spell, and the bird immediately became silent.
Nie Huaisang looked down at his baby and found it was still alive. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Sister Ling Xi did not kill his bird directly.
At this point, Nie Huaisang became obedient, and Wei Ying also didn't dare to move.
The noisy orchid room became quiet again.
Lan Qiren, who was sitting on top, saw everything clearly, and naturally saw everything Ling Xi did. He stroked his beard with satisfaction.
More than an hour later, with the recitation of the last house rule, all the house rules were finally read.
Almost all the students had sleepy eyes.
The worship ceremony has just begun.
The first one is Lanling Jin clan.
Jin Zixuan stood up, stepped forward, saluted and presented a gift.
"Jin Zixuan of the Lanling Jin Clan pays his respects to you, sir. You are a man of great wisdom and disdain for worldly things. My father has specially searched for classics from all over the world for you, compiled a set of Heluo Jingshi books, and woven them with gold thread. I hope you will not abandon them."
Ling Xi looked up and saw that everyone in their family was golden, with their feathers spread out, making them look like golden peacocks.
To be honest, Jin Zixuan is not ugly, but rather handsome. He also possesses the noble qualities of the Lanling Jin family, otherwise he would not be ranked fourth on the list of young masters of aristocratic families.
(ps: The first is Lan Xichen and Meng Yao, the second is Lan Wangji and Wei Ying, the third is Xue Yang and Wen Ning, the fourth is Jin Zixuan and Nie Huaisang, the fifth is Jiang Cheng, and the sixth is Nie Mingjue)
After all, there is no one particularly ugly among the five major families, except for Wen Chao from the Wen family, who is an eyesore.
But Jin Zixuan was too arrogant, and the look of contempt on his face was annoying.
"Gaudy golden peacock."
Wei Ying complained quietly at the side, but when he turned around, he saw the eldest daughter of the Jiang family staring at the golden peacock with affection.
Wei Ying shook his head. Hey, why bother liking someone who doesn’t like me?
Two days ago, they kicked you out of the inn without giving you any face. They don't even take you seriously, so why do you like him?
Wei Ying, who doesn’t understand emotions yet, thinks so.
