Sword Tomb wields his sword a billion times, to marry Li Hanyi!

The elegant seating area on the second floor of Qianjintai.

The rather chubby Uncle Tu couldn't help but look over when he saw Young Master Lei Mengsha, the Fiery Ink Prince from the academy, arrive with his entire family.

"hiss--!"

"Young Master Lei, isn't this your daughter?"

"And what's more, even the old man from Kenshinzuka has come to watch the academy's preliminary exam! What a rare guest!"

When Grandpa Tu saw Li Suwang and the others, he clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Hehe, Uncle Tu, we came to your Qianjintai to eat! Watching the academy's preliminary exam was just on the way."

Lei Mengsha smiled.

"You've come to dine at my Qianjintai? Young Master Lei, you've come to the right place!"

"I'm very enthusiastic," said Master Tu, then glanced at the guards in Qianjintai.

"Bring the best food from Qianjintai to Young Master Lei and Master Li!"

"Yes!" The guard left Master Tu's side.

"Uncle, would you like some snacks?"

Xiao Hanyi, sitting next to Li Xinyue, looked at the enthusiastic Uncle Tu.

"Of course!"

Grandpa Tu smiled warmly, then instructed the guards, "Bring some snacks first, don't keep the two little ones waiting."

After speaking, Master Tu looked at Li Jianyi, who had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and handsome features, with long, black hair tied up, and asked, "Master Li, Young Master Lei, who is this?"

"My father-in-law's future successor!" Lei Mengsha replied just as enthusiastically to Master Tu's enthusiasm.

"I heard years ago that Master Li adopted a child, but I never imagined he would be so grown up now!" Grandpa Tu nodded.

It was at this moment that the peerless Liu Yue also went up to the second-floor private room. He stood in front of the floor and looked down at the candidates who had come to participate in the academy's preliminary examination, saying: "After layers of selection, a total of eighty candidates have participated in the academy's preliminary examination."

The preliminary test is very simple. As long as you can demonstrate your strongest points and pass our test, you will have passed the academy's preliminary test.

"What are you best at?"

The candidates on the first floor were stunned.

At this moment, Baili Dongjun, who possessed absolutely no cultivation, couldn't help but raise his hand and ask, "Does brewing count? My brewing skills are unparalleled!"

"Of course it counts!" Liu Yue nodded slightly.

"Then I'll just demonstrate my brewing skills?" Baili Dongjun felt that the preliminary test at the academy was far too easy, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Yue excitedly.

"Well, but I'll find a master brewer to compete with you. Your brew must taste better than that master's for you to pass the academy's preliminary test," Liu Yue said unhurriedly.

"Alright, please go ahead!"

Baili Dongjun acted as if he was at Baili Dongjun's beck and call, clearly very confident in his brewing abilities.

"Alright!" Liu Yue nodded, then looked at Lei Mengsha beside her: "Lei Er, it's time to get to work! Go to the watchtower and ask Master Xie to come over!"

Lei Mengsha: "???"

Looking at Liu Yue with a blank and questioning expression, he said, "Liu Si, don't mess around. That kid is my little brother. How can you ask me to go find Master Xie, the winemaker from the neighboring Diaolou Xiaozhu?"

His Autumn Dew White wine is something my little brother might not be able to beat!

"The teacher entrusted us with the responsibility of taking the exams, so we shouldn't go easy on them!" Liu Yue said seriously.

"Sigh, alright..." Lei Mengsha looked at Baili Dongjun, who was eager to show off his brewing skills, with a sense of helplessness. He thought to himself that whether he could pass this preliminary test depended on whether Baili Dongjun had worked hard to brew wine all these years and whether he had worked hard to reach the pinnacle of a brewer.

"Xinyue, Father, I'm going to find Teacher Xie. Enjoy your meal!"

Lei Mengsha greeted Li Xinyue and Li Suwang before leaving Qianjintai.

at the same time,

The chefs at Qianjintai served up delicious snacks, including osmanthus cake, peanuts, some candies, and a fruit platter.

Upon seeing the snacks, Li Jianyi, sitting at the dining table, couldn't help but wipe his mouth with his little hands, looking like a greedy cat.

Seeing this, Grandpa Tu shook his head and chuckled, "It seems that this successor of Master Li is quite the little foodie! He has some of my younger self in him!"

"Some shadows? Who knows, maybe the younger generation will surpass the older, and they'll even be tastier than Uncle Tu!" Xiao Hanyi couldn't help but smile slightly when she thought of Li Jianyi's stubbornness when he ate.

"Is that so? Then I'll see today how the successor of Master Li will surpass me in the art of eating!"

"After all, my physique is the result of what I ate back in the day!" Uncle Tu said, intrigued.

He even pointed to Liu Yue beside him and said, "Young Master Liu, I'm lending you this Thousand Gold Platform for the preliminary exam. Could your school grant me a small favor?"

"Please speak, Uncle Tu!"

Liu Yue looked at Grandpa Tu.

"If this little guy in front of me can eat even more than me, could we make an exception and let him participate in the academy's preliminary exam?" Grandpa Tu felt that being able to eat a lot was an advantage, and planned to let Li Jianyi also participate in the academy's exam.

"Of course, since it's recommended by Master Tu from Qianjintai." Liu Yue nodded slightly.

A moment later,

In addition to the snacks, all the specialty dishes from Qianjintai were also laid out on the table.

"Yi-yi, are you up to the task? If you beat Master Tu, you'll qualify for the academy's preliminary exam. Your master thinks you should give it a try." Li Suwang looked at Li Jianyi with a serious expression.

After all, although Li Jianyi was the successor of Li Suwang, he had spent nine years practicing swordsmanship in the Sword Tomb, keeping a low profile and never appearing in the world. Unlike the successors of other martial arts sects, Li Jianyi was not well-known.

As a result, the forces in the martial arts world only knew that Li Suwang had adopted a child many years ago and regarded him as the successor of the Sword Tomb, but they did not know what kind of person this child was or what kind of talent he possessed.

Therefore, Li Suwang wanted to take advantage of this preliminary examination at the academy, with most of the martial arts forces present, to make Li Jian famous throughout the world!

"Yes, Master!"

Li Jianyi's eyes lit up as he looked at the delicious food on the table.

"Yi-yi, keep it up!" Xiao Hanyi clenched her little fists to encourage Li Jianyi.

"Very good, little guy, you're quite energetic! It just so happens that I, Uncle Tu, haven't had lunch today! I'll have to have a good comparison with you!"

Grandpa Tu moved directly from his table to Li Jianyi's table.

Seeing this, Li Suwang and Li Xinyue pulled Xiao Hanyi to another table, ready to watch the two foodies compete.

"Is that right? It's not that easy to get the qualification for the preliminary test of Mr. Li's disciple from me, Uncle Tu!"

"So, you'd better eat with style later!" Uncle Tu laughed, his round body jiggling with the fat on his face.

"Let's go then!"

Li Jianyi looked at the delicious food on the table and licked his lips.

Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, the examinees downstairs saw that a competition was already taking place on the second floor, and they couldn't help but look over.

"Hiss—, there's a competitive eating contest upstairs?" Baili Dongjun, who was waiting for Lei Mengsha to call Xie Shi over, looked up curiously.

"Yeah, I didn't expect someone to actually challenge Master Tu of Qianjintai to an eating contest? Interesting, interesting!" Ye Dingzhi stroked his chin with one hand and looked up at the second floor with great interest.

Even a little girl wearing a white coat with a large "gambling" character embroidered on it looked up and said with some disdain, "I often come to Qianjintai to play, but I've never seen anyone who can compete with Master Tu when it comes to eating!"

I think that kid is definitely going to lose!

"Kid, aren't you a kid too?" Liu Yue, who was on the second floor, chuckled softly after hearing what Yin Luoxia, the daughter of the gambling king, said.

"Hmph! Young Master Liu, I'm not a child!" Yin Luoxia waved her pink hand angrily, feeling that this Young Master Liu was a bit annoying.

"You're ten years old, but Yi-yi is already eleven! He's older than you, so you have to call him 'brother'!"

"Now you say he's a child, so aren't you a child too?" Liu Yue covered her mouth and laughed.

He found Yin Luoxia, the daughter of the gambling king, quite pleasing to the eye, and Yin Luoxia had gone through great lengths to meet him before participating in the preliminary examination of the academy, which was entirely under his supervision.

Therefore, regardless of whether Yin Luoxia can become a disciple of the academy this time, he will try to bring Yin Luoxia into the academy.

After all, no one has said that students in the academy can't take on more students, right?

It just so happens that he's been thinking of taking on disciples lately!

Yin Luoxia is a stunning beauty, which perfectly meets his criteria for taking on a disciple!

"Pah, pah, pah! I don't care if he's eleven or not! He's just a kid, he should call me sister!" Yin Luoxia spat a few times into the air, then looked at Li Jianyi with a serious expression.

Li Jianyi, having overheard the conversation between the future master and disciple, looked over and abruptly said, "For some reason, I really want to beat up my sister..."

Yin Luoxia's phoenix eyes widened in surprise, then she pulled up her white coat, revealing a purple gauze dress underneath, and said with an adorable yet furious tone, "Little sister? Do you believe I'll beat you to a pulp right now?!"
