Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

For a full two months, no one had been able to pass the test since Qingye entered school. And if Qingye's house in Qingshui Town had not been maintained by his neighbors, it would have not only accumulated dust, but even the originally unstable purlins would have had problems.

Qingye's left neighbor is a rabbit spirit. Her cultivation is very low, and the only thing worth mentioning is the thousand-year life span brought by her demon body. What she worries about most is the issue of offspring. After Qingye's family members passed away, she still took good care of Qingye. Qingye's house is maintained by her and the men in her family.

After leaving the house, the rabbit spirit couldn't help but mutter a few words about Qingye: "Qingye has been gone for several months and hasn't sent us any message. If something happened on the way, we wouldn't even be able to..." We can't even find a place to collect the body.

The second half of the sentence was swallowed by the rabbit spirit, but everyone knew what she meant.

The auntie who sells steamed buns next door couldn't help but worry: "Someone said earlier that Qingye entered the academy, but in the past two months, it seems that fewer people have gone to the academy for trials. I hope Qingye really entered the academy. He is the only one in his family."

The aunt is a human, just over 30 years old. But nowadays the life expectancy of humans is generally not long, and it is very rare to live over 40, so the aunt is also worried about the offspring of the Aoba family.

Qingye, who was being talked about by everyone, had already arrived outside Qingshui Town. Jiang Xinxin and Shi Yingjing were eager to take a walk around the area, so they gave Qingye a seven-day vacation and arranged for him to come back to visit relatives and friends.

There are only a few permanent residents in Qingshui Town, and the rest are floating population. Everyone will get to know each other quickly. However, Qingye used to wear linen clothes like everyone else, and his whole face was covered in dust. Now he has changed into beautiful silk clothes and rides a tall horse. His whole appearance seems to have changed a little, making it hard to recognize him.

Qingye has now returned home in glory. It is inevitable that he is a little vain, but he does not have any bad intentions. Moreover, he has become smarter now that he can read and write. Although he did not realize that Masters Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying gave him a holiday because they wanted to have some free time alone, he knew that the two masters wanted him to go home wearing the clothes of the academy.

So Qingye entered the town and greeted the folks he knew with a smile along the way, but everyone couldn't get used to his huge change for a while and didn't dare to agree.

Until Qingye walked out the back door of his house, led the horse in, and then came out from the front door and greeted the auntie selling buns across the street: "Auntie, I haven't seen you for two months and you haven't changed at all!"

The auntie selling buns looked up and saw a young man who looked like Qingye, dressed neatly and gorgeously. If he hadn't sounded like Qingye, she wouldn't have dared to talk to him.

Qingye walked over and continued to greet as usual: "Auntie, give me two meat buns!"

As he said that, Qingye stretched out his hand to give the money.

The aunt selling buns came closer to take another look, and finally confirmed that the person was Qingye!

The auntie was still not used to Qingye like this, and she lowered her voice a little, "Oh, it's really Qingye!"

She wiped her hands and went to get two meat buns for Qingye. She found a clean leaf to wrap them, but she didn't take the money Qingye handed over. "You haven't been back for a long time. These buns are for you to eat. Don't refuse!"

Qingye thought that he had brought gifts for everyone, so the two idiots really didn't refuse and accepted them with full of gratitude. The smile on the aunt's face became more and more genuine, and she was very satisfied with Qingye's generosity.

With the aunt's start, the others finally dared to come forward and talk to Qingye. The rabbit spirit even followed Qingye into the house and pointed out the places that had been renovated by her and her husband. In front of the rabbit spirit, Qingye took out the storage bag hanging around his waist and took out a number of gifts from the storage bag, which soon filled up a large table.

Qingye listened to everyone's exclamations and explained, "These things were not given to me by the academy, but I learned the skills and made them myself. It just took some time and materials, but it didn't cost much money."

As he spoke, Qingye opened a black box with a very gorgeous pattern on it, revealing the pink soap he made by hand. He took out two and handed them to the rabbit spirit, saying, "This is a gift for your family. Thank you for taking care of this house for me for the past two months."

As soon as the rabbit spirit took the soap in her hand, she smelled a very pleasant floral fragrance. She also thought the soap looked nice and thought it was some rare snack. She was about to put it in her mouth. Qingye was so scared that she quickly held down her restless hand.

Qingye hurriedly introduced: "Sister-in-law, this is called soap, it is used to wash your hair, take a bath and wash clothes, it is not for eating!"

The rabbit spirit didn't care about the joke. Instead, he held up two soap bars and said with great curiosity, "Such beautiful soap bars are not for eating, but for bathing and washing clothes! What exquisite food the two deans must be eating!"

Qingye quickly took out the snacks he had made, took out a box and handed it to the rabbit spirit, "Sister-in-law, these are the real snacks. My master taught me how to make them. I made them myself. Please give me some of them."

With the soap in front of her, the rabbit spirit was very much looking forward to this rare snack. Without anyone urging her, she opened it directly for everyone to see.

I saw that the box was divided into four compartments, and each compartment contained four kinds of snacks. The top row was one pink and one tender green, followed by one in the shape of a butterfly and one in the shape of a flower. They looked very extraordinary just by looking at them, and the rabbit spirit was even reluctant to pick them up, let alone eat them.

Qingye took out two bags of sugar and stuffed them into the rabbit spirit's mouth, "Sister-in-law, please don't be reluctant to eat them. These snacks are all made by me, just to bring them back to give to neighbors and relatives and friends. You and big brother take care of me every day, and even my shabby house is taken care of by you. Please don't be reluctant to eat them."

The rabbit spirit weighed the two packets at the back and thought they seemed to be some powder, so he didn't want to open them in public. He talked to Qingye reluctantly for a long time. When he went back and opened the packets, he found that they were actually two packets of snow-white candy!

Immediately, the couple did not dare to accept the thing and planned to send it back to Qingye. However, when they went out, the rabbit spirit saw Qingye also took the same thing as the one he gave her and went to the opposite door. So she had to stop and give up the idea.

In just one noon, the news of Qingye's glorious return home spread throughout the entire Qingshui Town. Not to mention Mazi and Chuanzi who always liked to be in a lively atmosphere, even the steady Lao Mu couldn't help but pull Min and Xiaoliu out of the house and came to the vicinity of Qingye's house to ask everyone for news.

Qingye sat under the big tree where everyone usually rested and answered all the questions.

"…Our academy has only one path leading up the mountain. There are a total of 999 steps on the path, and there are four illusion arrays in the middle. The so-called trial is just to test one's character. The two masters said that the academy will not accept those who are cruel and bloodthirsty with flawed character."

"...There are many things to teach. Although there are only two masters, I am mainly learning to read and write. I am also learning to make regular meals and snacks. There are also courses for riding, archery and driving. When I can learn to read, I will arrange training."

"...I can really learn anything I want..."

Lao Mu and Wen Xiaoliu were squeezed in the crowd. Lao Mu still wanted Wen Xiaoliu to try the academy, so he said to Wen Xiaoliu, "What Qingye said is really good. Anyway, the trial will only delay a little time. Sixth brother, why don't you take Ma Zi and Chuan Zi to try it?"
