Chapter 516: The Qing Feng Academy is entrusted to you

This one of mine.

And mine, mine.

Wait a moment, wait a moment, I haven't finished copying yet, wait until I finish copying." An official, at this moment carefully copying, afraid to splash ink onto the paper, ruining this perfect exam paper; he is being extra careful, extra careful again.

Fifteen copies?

Liu Yunfeng found it strange; could it be that three exam papers stood out?

Gentlemen, start exchanging readings; if you still think the paper in your hand is first place, keep sending them over." Liu Yunfeng looked at the several officials, only able to resort to this.

We can't let Your Majesty look at fifteen exam papers and then decide, can we?

Then what are they doing at the Hanlin Academy, eating for nothing?

In a moment, the fifteen exam papers just now were directly eliminated……one copy.

It became fourteen exam papers.

After several more rounds of rotation, it finally became twelve exam papers.

Liu Yunfeng's mouth twitched; he didn't even need to lift the name slip to know where these twelve exam papers came from.

Yun chu, aren't you anxious?

Ningguang, the great scholar; Qing Feng Da Ru; Kang Meng, the master—these three representatives of Da Ning scholars are now seated in chairs, their brows showing a hint of anxiety.

Jiang Yunchu shook his head: 'Before the exam, I was more nervous than they were.'

But after the dust settled, I became more calm.

There is an element of belief; more so, the children just want to give themselves a result—whether they do well or poorly, what does it matter?

Examination is a process, but not the whole of life.

If one were to judge a person by examination, how sad would that be?

What about that group of children?" Qing feng suddenly realized something; they were here anxiously, but that group of children had vanished without a trace—from early morning until now, no one has been seen.

Jiang Yunchu fell silent for a moment, then gently shook his head: 'The southern flood has submerged three cities; those few children had already rushed south on fast horses the day before yesterday.'

Ning Qiancheng secretly received an imperial edict; they went south to manage the flood relief.

What?" Jiang Yunchu's words had just finished when Qing feng stared wide-eyed in doubt.

They went to relief work? How old are they? The oldest is only fifteen, the youngest only thirteen—what can they do?

And they're not afraid of being schemed against; at this time, flood relief is not something easy to take on.

Qing feng was somewhat worried; that bunch of children, each one a heavenly gifted talent—if any got a bump or bruise, he would feel heartache.

Calm down a bit." Ningguang looked at Qing feng, sighed helplessly, "You've practiced Qi Nurturing for so many years, why are you still so impatient?"

I..." Qing feng helplessly glanced at Jiang Yunchu, "In her presence, my heart goes up and down; to have cultivated this Qi Nurturing practice to this point is already not bad."

Otherwise I would have died of anger.

Kang Mengxian glanced at Qing feng, 'Old fool, do you think His Majesty would make a fuss over flood control?'

He cares more for Da Ning than we do; since His Majesty issued an imperial edict, I think...

Among the youngsters, whose paper contains an article on flood control? Even that article is excellent.

When Kang Mengxian's words fell, the three people's eyes simultaneously turned to Jiang Yunchu.

Jiang Yunchu spread his hands: 'I don't know.'

You don't know?" The Qing feng who had just been suppressed jumped up, eyes wide: "After they finished the exam, you didn't make them copy from memory?

Jiang Yunchu shook his head.

Then you didn't ask how they did on the exam?" Qing feng persisted, asking another question.

But what awaited him was still Jiang Yunchu shaking his head.

Qing feng looked at Jiang Yunchu as if looking at a strange person.

What do you think then?" He no longer wanted to guess; now he just wanted an answer.

Jiang Yunchu looked at the three people's gazes, smiled helplessly.

They have grown up; during their time in the West, they split from the main force and engaged in near‑year‑long guerrilla warfare; their scheming, tactical proficiency, and mindset have all matured.

After the Western war ended, they requested to leave on their own.

While traveling various countries, they went to many places and saw many people.

Their horizons, their hearts, and their ability to judge people and things have all changed.

Ningguang's eyes flashed, as if she understood her meaning.

Kang Mengxian chuckled, thinking of his own few children returning from the battlefield; they have already grown into adults, each a pillar of heaven and earth.

Then..." Only Qing feng, unwilling to give up, continued to ask.

They can now decide their own lives; they can walk their future path themselves.

What I could do to help them, I have already finished.

If I don't let go, to them it's not help but a burden and distrust.

Jiang Yunchu took a sip of tea, thinking that over these nearly five years, the children only grew rapidly after leaving her protection.

I can accompany them only this far.

She raised her head, looked at the three gentlemen, 'You too.'

Qing feng was struck as if by lightning, stunned in place.

Kang Mengxian felt it most deeply, best able to understand Yun chu's words.

After Ningguang pondered, although she had already guessed in her heart, she never expected those mischievous children to leave so soon.

It's my obsession." Qing feng smiled; his white robe and white hair gave him an air of a transcendent hermit.

He teaches the least, but he has always worried about those few children.

His concern and affection for the children have never been less than anyone else's.

"Yun chu, you did very well." Qing feng thought for a long, long time, then he raised his head and looked toward Jiang Yunchu.

Qing feng cherished talent and loved talent, but he had not learned to let go.

Compared to Yun chu, the gap is too great.

"Yun chu, Qing feng Academy, how about it?" Qing feng looked at Jiang Yunchu, his eyes full of a serious expression.

Jiang Yunchu was both laughing and crying, "Mr. Qing feng, how could you have such a terrible idea?"

"Yun chu, I am serious, Qing feng Academy in Da Ning also has a place, and moreover it is a place where scholars from all directions come to pilgrimage, please consider it carefully?" Mr. Qing feng's whole face bore a serious expression.

As he grew older, being able to bring forth this group of little monsters, those three also truly felt relieved.

But Qing feng Institute is like his child; he raised it little by little, and it has come to be what it is today.

He would not feel at ease entrusting Qing feng Institute to anyone.

If that person were Yun chu, he would truly feel at ease.

Jiang Yunchu shook her head, her eyes filled with unprecedented determination.

"I'm afraid I can't take it over."

She looked at Mr. Qing feng; the three elders all earned her admiration; Mr. Qing feng, by his own strength, became the eyes and ears of her maternal grandfather and Mr. Ningguang; all the information came from Mr. Qing feng.

They are old, she knows, but she cannot accept it.
