The Otherworldly God

Chapter 23 Assessment Interview 2

There were two examiners for the Q&A session, one was Le Zheng Feixu and the other was Le Zhengbo, who was known as the "Heavenly Night Demon". He was the strictest of all the masters who taught the Taoist apprentices. It was rumored that no one had ever seen him smile, and many newcomers would tremble with fear just by hearing his name.

Le Zheng Yuhua fainted that day and didn't know that the person who saved her was the examiner in front of her. Le Zhengbo recognized him, and he had always been in the limelight, so he naturally had a certain understanding of him.

However, the person in front of him, although he had the same appearance, his behavior and expression were different from the previous Le Zheng Yuhua in Le Zhengbo's eyes.

His sitting posture changed. I had never seen a newcomer sitting like that before. His eyes changed, becoming more determined, without a trace of confusion.

Le Zhengbo didn't think the person sitting in front of him looked like a newcomer, let alone an eleven-year-old child who had no experience in the world.

"Go out."

Le Zhengbo put down his teacup and said this. The recorder and Le Zheng Yuhua were both shocked, but compared to the recorder, Le Zheng Yuhua did not show her shock.

"Master, you have to ask him questions."

The recorder gave a gentle reminder.

"I have nothing to ask you, you can leave now."

Le Zheng Yuhua clenched his fists, but there was no sign of anger on his face. He stood up, bowed, and prepared to walk out.

"stop."

Le Zheng Yuhua stopped again obediently. If it was before, he would have stood still from the beginning, staring at the other person fiercely until he was severely reprimanded, but this time he did not.

"Why are you leaving?"

Le Zheng Yuhua recalled how his instructor had made things difficult for him in the army. He, out of his hot-bloodedness, had a conflict with the instructor and was severely punished by him.

"Why did you attack? Even if he deliberately picked on you to embarrass you, just go out for drills. You are a soldier, and it is your duty to obey orders."

Le Zheng Yuhua retorted unconvincedly: "Will you obey even if it is a wrong order?"

"What is a mistake? It's just running 30 laps, you can do it. It's wrong to find fault with you, so you should not leave faults for him to find fault with, you can do that too. But you started the fight first, and you hit your instructor, which is a violation of discipline and should never be done."

"I quit."

"Le Zheng Yuhua, stop right there. If you walk out of here, you'll be a deserter."

"I'm a deserter, so what if I'm a deserter?"

"Say it again, go out and say it again in front of Mitsuha."

As soon as he heard Sanye's name, Le Zheng Yuhua's tone immediately became timid.

"San... Sanye, she, she's here?"

"She didn't come here. She was going to come here, but she was afraid of affecting the image of the army, so she asked someone to bring the things here. As expected, she understands you. You will definitely get into trouble when you first join the army, so she asked me to bring a message to you."

"What did Mitsuha say?"

"She only said one word: endure. You are too impatient and cannot stand any provocation. There will be no next time. Listen to me clearly."

"Yes."

Le Zheng Yuhua turned around, his fist already unclenched.

"Because you are the Master."

"I'm the Master, so you'll do whatever I say?"

"will not."

"Well, what if you don't?"

"For example, if you told me to get out instead of leaving, I would never get out."

Le Zhengbo was stunned at first, then he couldn't help laughing, and this laugh even shocked his apprentice.

"Okay, that's a good answer. You can really leave this time."

Le Zheng Yuhua could be sure that this was not a test.

"Yes."

After Le Zheng Yuhua left, the recorder was confused, with his pen hanging in the air, not knowing how to record. He had no idea what his master had said to Le Zheng Yuhua.

"Master, this..."

"Just pretend I didn't ask a single question and give him a B."

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"If anyone else has any opinions, they will come to me. Just do as I say."

"Yes Yes!"

Le Zhengbo closed his eyes and recalled everything that had just happened, from the moment he came in, every move, every little detail.

"You really don't look like a newbie who has no experience in the world. You have your own principles in dealing with people. Let me see how far you can go on the path of a Taoist, Le Zheng Yuhua."

Le Zhengbo slapped his thigh and stood up.

"Master?"

"Is there no one left?"

"This is the last one."

"Then let's go."

"Yes."

The grades are ranked according to A, B, C, D, and E. There are two grades in total, the first is a written test and the second is a question-and-answer test.

Normally they would not be able to see the results until the next day, because this time there was an additional test starting at chen time on the next day, so the results were posted at shen time on the same day.

As soon as they heard that the assessment results were out, all the newcomers who participated in the assessment ran over, including some of their families.

They crowded to the front of the list, pushing each other, trying to see results faster.

"How is it? Did you see it?"

"Stand still and don't sway."

Le Zheng Shuiling sat on Le Zheng Qiming's shoulders, looking at the red paper on the bulletin board, looking for their names.

"Shui Ling, you've gained weight again."

Le Zheng Shui Ling patted his head and jumped down.

"You can tell me I'm heavy, you can tell me I'm heavy."

He clapped him several times in a row until Le Zheng Qiming admitted his mistake and begged for forgiveness, and he still did not forget to care about his grades.

"What's going on?"

"I got B-A, you got A-C, and brother Yuhua got C-B."

"C? I'm worse than you? That's impossible."

Le Zheng Qiming tried to find evidence that she was lying and looked at the list. Le Zheng Shuiling, on the other hand, waved her hands with a smug look on her face.

"I can't help it. Your examiner is... that person. You did better than me in the written test. What's the point of comparing to this level? It's fine as long as you pass it."

"Yes. Brother Yuhua almost passed, luckily he got one B. If he got two Cs, he would have to take the test again next time."

"Two Bings are good. Look, someone over there got two Wus. What does two Wus mean? There's no chance of him becoming a Taoist in this lifetime."

Le Zheng Shui Ling also knew to lower her voice.

"We have another test tomorrow. If we can't pass it, both A grades today will be useless."

After Le Zheng Yuhua reminded them, the two suddenly remembered that there were two tests for the three of them and five other people. After the first test, there were only five people left to take tomorrow's test, but they didn't know what the test was.

"But we don't know what the assessment is about, so we don't have any idea what to do."

"I'll go back to Xinglin Hall first."

Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming had been worrying about the assessment for the entire day and had completely forgotten that Le Zheng Yuhua was injured. Only now did they remember and hurriedly escorted him to Xinglin Hall.
