Chapter 404: Knowledge is Bounded (3K chapter, thanks for the monthly votes)
As soon as they heard about Wen Xuanning, everyone immediately became interested.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Qu Chunyan urged.

"It's annoying to see his face that thinks he is the most handsome man in the world. He thinks he is great just because he is good-looking." Wang Dongdong snorted coldly.

Then she thought again: "Speaking of which, where are Senior Brother Zhong and Jing Hao?"

"And...what about the weakling?"

Although Ruan Shizhi rarely travels with them now, he always wants to see them on the first day of school.

"Don't mention it, they are having dinner together at Taibai Tower in Chang'an!" Jiang Caibin said unhappily, "This is what's so annoying!"

"What? Are you dissatisfied that they didn't invite you to dinner?" Qu Chunyan asked directly.

"Of course not! I don't dare... I don't want to have dinner with him!" Jiang Caibin immediately denied it and shuddered, "It's just that he obviously looks down on people!"

"Why do you look down on me?" Wang Dongdong asked curiously.

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Jiang Caibin stopped eating, threw his spoon into the soup bowl, and immediately said emotionally: "Did you know that he held a discussion meeting?"

The three women shook their heads as he expected, only Liu Sheng nodded silently.

Lu Shen tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to speak more quietly: "There are many people talking, so don't make it public."

Jiang Caibin nodded, lowered his voice and continued, "As expected, Senior Sister Lin is the third place, Senior Brother Lu and Senior Sister Qu are in the top ten, and they are all close to Sister Liu Sheng, so naturally they will not be invited."

He followed Liu Sheng's way of addressing them and also called them senior sister and senior brother.

Then he looked at Wang Dongdong: "Don't even mention Dongdong, he went straight into him."

Wang Dongdong said with disdain: "I don't want to go either."

Afterwards, Jiang Caibin looked at Liu Sheng cautiously and consoled her, "Sister Liu Sheng, you are not from the seminary, so it is normal for him not to invite you."

Liu Sheng: “…”

This consolation is unnecessary.

"But..." Jiang Caibin suddenly whispered, and put his hand to his lips stealthily, "He didn't even invite Ling Yuke."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced towards the delicate figure sitting alone in the corner of the dining hall.

When they saw Ling Yuke at the palace examination the day before, everyone was shocked to find that she had become much thinner and more haggard, and no one knew what kind of suffering she had suffered.

And he no longer sticks to Wen Xuanning, as if their relationship has changed.

Wang Dongdong frowned and glanced at them, then said, "We should not interfere in their affairs."

"Oh, isn't this weird? Didn't they say they were going to get engaged?"

Seeing that no one was interested, Jiang Caibin quickly returned to the topic.

"Anyway, Wen Xuanning organized a seminar at the seminary to explain his understanding of the divine book, saying that it would help everyone ascend to the abode soon..."

"However, he did not invite the top 10 students and the top seven students in the second class. He said that he wanted to help students with potential to move to the next level. The top ten students are already talented, so there is no need for them to compete with everyone for this rare opportunity to discuss the Dao."

Qu Chunyan immediately said in a cold voice: "You praise yourself so highly, how can it be so difficult for him to talk about the Tao?"

She now hated Wen Xuan Ning to the core, and regretted that her cultivation was not good enough and she could not avenge her previous humiliation.

"But then again, how do you know it so clearly?" Wang Dongdong asked curiously.

At this time, Liu Sheng, who had been listening quietly, said to the two of them lightly: "Senior Brother Zhong, Jing Hao."

"Sister Liu Sheng is really smart! I don't dare to interfere with Senior Brother Zhong, but Jing Hao is my spy there!" Jiang Caibin said with a smile.

Jiang Caibin felt proud, recalling how reluctant Jing Hao was at that time, but he had to go after he was persuaded that the information was very important to everyone, especially Qu Chunyan and Liu Sheng.

At the same time, Jing Hao was bored in Taibai Tower, watching the students around him flattering Wen Xuanning. He couldn't help but yawn, and in his heart he complained to Jiang Caibin for making him come to this boring discussion meeting, and he didn't know what kind of information it could get.

"In short, we won't invite those who are too good, nor those who are too bad, nor those who are too poor. We will only invite those who are part of the Honghu Project. This is the kind of discussion meeting we are going to have," Jiang Caibin concluded.

Liu Sheng nodded: "That makes sense."

"How is it reasonable? Why can't I go?" Jiang Caibin said angrily.

"Because you and I have a good relationship." Liu Sheng said.

Jiang Caibin felt relieved when he heard this and nodded proudly: "This old... brat still has some sense."

Lin Shuying pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that he wants to establish his own power in the seminary and gather those elites and yanei who can be controlled."

Lu Shen nodded silently.

"In terms of appeal, it's quite successful." Liu Sheng said calmly. Looking at the fact that there were not many people wearing snow-white robes in the dining hall, it was clear that most people had gone to Taibai Tower.

Jiang Caibin frowned and said, "I heard from Jing Hao that there was thunderous applause at the scene. Everyone was very impressed by him."

"Moreover, that brat even said openly and secretly that the reason why the top scholar position fell to someone else was just a move by His Majesty to comfort the poor people in the world." Jiang Caibin added fuel to the fire and said indignantly, "Sister Liu Sheng, how can we tolerate this?"

When Wang Dongdong and others heard this, they were immediately filled with indignation.

Liu Sheng smiled slightly: "Let him talk."

"Shengsheng, are you so generous?" Wang Dongdong asked carefully.

Liu Sheng still smiled: "I'm very busy and don't have time to fight with him."

Lin Shuying seemed to understand what Liu Sheng meant: "Junior Sister Liu is right. Instead of arguing with him, it is better to focus on learning. The better Junior Sister Liu does, the more unhappy he will be."

Everyone suddenly realized that Liu Sheng was indeed at an extraordinary level. "Sister Liu Sheng is indeed a man of high moral character. I am the one who is narrow-minded!" Jiang Caibin said exaggeratedly.

Liu Sheng's smile was a little stiff.

【…】

[Actually, what I really mean is that I am too busy and don’t have time to fight him for the time being. ]

[That’s all…]

"Let's eat." Liu Sheng coughed lightly and said calmly.

Then he picked up a spoon and scooped a mouthful of rice to fill Jiang Caibin's mouth, which moved Jiang Caibin so much that his eyes were filled with tears. He tried hard to swallow the excessive amount of rice and finally calmed down and ate well.

There are more important things to hand over to Sister Liu Sheng later!

On the other side, the sound of discussion of several students at the next table could be heard, and the topic was also Wen Xuanning.

"I heard that an ignorant fellow came to the newly established seminary and even organized a seminar." A male student said with disdain.

"It's only your first day here, and you want to be a freshman leader. You're quite ambitious." A woman replied.

Another male student said, "But this discussion of theology... is really unheard of. It would be better to think of a research topic..."

"Don't talk nonsense. Theology is now the top priority of the court." The woman interrupted him quickly, "Next we have to open a temple and build a shrine. I heard that we are extremely short of manpower."

"Junior Sister Wang, you are about to leave the National Academy. Do you want to..." The male student saw the girl's longing look and said in surprise.

"With my background and grades, I won't be able to find a good job after leaving the academy. I might have to go to the Weaving Institute, but I don't want to do that. I heard there are more and more things going on now..."

The woman sighed.

"So, I would like to hear how he explains it. Maybe it is a way out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer was heard beside him, coming from another table.

It turned out that it was not only Liu Sheng who was eavesdropping on their conversation, there were others as well.

Liu Sheng secretly glanced at Jiang Caibin. Fortunately, Jiang Caibin spoke stealthily and not too loudly.

The woman realized that the laughter was obviously directed at her words, and her face immediately darkened. She said angrily: "What's wrong? Is what I said ridiculous?"

"Don't be ridiculous what you said, senior sister. I just think it's a bit naive. Not everyone can enter this discussion meeting. People should have some self-knowledge." The other party responded loudly.

The words were direct and loud, and everyone in the dining hall couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice.

Of course Liu Sheng was also curious, so she looked over and found that it was someone she knew - her new roommate Zheng Xun.

Zheng Xun was seen sitting with a woman who was also wearing a divine robe. That woman should be the friend she mentioned.

[Weren't they attending the Dao Discussion Meeting? They should have been in Taibai Tower, so why are they eating in the dining hall now? ]

[It seems that he failed to get in. ]

Zheng Xun's words were too straightforward. Her friend next to her felt a little uneasy and tugged at her sleeve, as if to dissuade her.

"Why, I can't say it?" Zheng Xun said angrily, "He had you thrown out of the venue without giving you any face!"

The woman was gentle and said in a low voice: "Xun'er, stop talking. It was my fault. We agreed not to let outsiders in, but I wanted to let you in quietly..."

"Outsider? The dormitory is a place that all students can enter. How am I an outsider? Am I not a member of the seminary?" Zheng Xun became even more angry when he heard this.

"That's not what I meant..." Her friend felt embarrassed when she saw that everyone around her was looking at her, and she lowered her head.

"We are both second-class Jinshi and both apprentice priests. Why can you get in but I can't? Is it because my family background is not as good as yours?" Zheng Xun became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he couldn't help but vent his anger on his friend.

Her friend's eyes turned red and she finally covered her face and left.

When Zheng Xun saw his friend leaving crying, a complicated expression flashed across his face. He gritted his teeth and quickly chased after him.

Liu Sheng silently noticed that Ling Yuke in the corner also stood up and left, as if everything she heard now had nothing to do with her.

The atmosphere in the entire cafeteria became tense because of this small dispute.

"This Master Wen is the son of the current Prime Minister, so it is common for him to have no ordinary friends around him."

"But there's no need to be so overbearing in this academic exchange, right?"

"The National Academy never prevents students from forming associations. If that is their standard, then there is nothing we can do."

"Why, he's the only one who can talk about theology? No one else can? He's just a student, but he's so crazy?"

"He is not an ordinary student. Putting aside his background, he is also a second-rank priest."

"I heard that this theology does have a heritage, and that a second-level priest can sense more. I guess this is also the reason why he formed cliques as soon as he entered school."

"We are about to graduate, so we should think about a way out."

"Yes, he is not qualified for training, and he is poor for three generations. Being an official sent out from the capital has no future. But being a priest sounds like a smooth road."

"In that case, it's worth making some friends."

Liu Sheng listened to the students' chattering and silently cleared his plate of food.

Today's trip to the dining hall was not in vain, the chef's cooking skills are quite good.

Moreover, she seemed to have an idea of ​​what to do with the new product.
