Enchanting Alchemist

The moment the door opened, the man was slightly startled, thinking that Hua Ruge's body was extremely thin, he never expected that it would be a cultivator with spirit energy.    

This was a deterrence from Hua Ruge, if it was an ordinary identity, he would not have gotten ahead of himself.    

But the man only reacted with a laugh, and as he walked in, he asked: "Young lady's skills are not bad, could it be that you're coming to the imperial city at this time to take the Sky Mansion Academy examination?"    

Hua Ruge felt that this person was not a weak straw bag, and nodded: "Yes."    

"What a coincidence, I am the outer court disciple of Sky Mansion Academy, Yan Tao." The man introduced himself.    

When these words came out, Hua Ruge and Su Nianxia both took him seriously.    

Everyone knew that entering the Sky Mansion Academy was extremely difficult, and even the last of the outer sect disciples was a one in a hundred choice.    

Moreover, it was said that even if one entered the academy, if they did not pass the examination, they would be kicked out at any time. As a result, besides having outstanding talent, the people in the academy still had to be vigilant and diligent.    

People with a bad disposition couldn't stay in this sort of place.    

"So it's senior." As Hua Ruge said this, he began to pay more attention to him.    

Yan Tao's smile contained a bit of arrogance as he said: "Since we met by fate, is it possible for us to meet?    

"I don't have enough alcohol, so let's just forget about drinking." Hua Ruge rejected him very straightforwardly.    

Su Nianxia on the other hand, pursed his lips. Being unable to drink alcohol and not being able to do so are two different things.    

Yan Tao didn't understand Hua Ruge, so he naturally treated him as a piece of cake. He expressed his understanding, "That's right, I was indeed presumptuous to look for a girl like you to drink."    

Su Nianxia endured it and did not say anything.    

"If there's nothing else, we need to rest. Senior, please go ahead." Hua Ruge immediately followed up with the order to expel the guest.    

This kind of person could not be offended, but Hua Ruge did not have the habit of feigning humility.    

She still hoped that this person would be more tactful and give up on her own volition.    

Yan Tao was startled for a moment, he did not think that he would be confused by his identity, but Hua Ruge rejected him without a shred of mercy, thus he directly said: "I wonder if the two misses have a card for participating in the examination."    

A name card was a privilege granted by someone with status. Normally, people without a backer would not have it.    

According to his deductions, most of the people living in such a simple place didn't have any background.    

"What's the use of a name card?" Hua Ruge asked.    

Yan Tao smiled and said: "The assessment this time will be divided into four rounds. Those who do not have a name card will be selected from the first round, while those who hold a name card can directly participate in the second round."    

"Unfair?" Su Nianxia was a little surprised.    

Hua Ruge also felt that it was a little strange. Zheng's Royal College could allow him to completely enter the academy fair, how could the number one academy in the entire continent be able to build relationships with others?    

Yan Tao's interest was piqued, and he said: "This rule is tacitly accepted by the Academy, because the Academy feels that one's family background and luck can be considered a resource, those who have the resources will naturally receive preferential treatment."    

"The selection of those without any background or luck will be even stricter because the cost of becoming stronger is even higher."    

Hua Ruge found it interesting.    

Everyone understood this logic in their hearts, but to be brought to the surface and even being accepted according to this standard was already somewhat odd.    

This will undoubtedly make the person with resources become more resources, and the person without resources will continue to be ordinary, not conducive to overall progress.    

But Sky Mansion Academy's selection process was only for the elites, so it didn't really matter to them, so even though she felt that it was a little inappropriate, she couldn't find anything wrong with it.    

"I really didn't expect that Sky Mansion Academy, which has such an illustrious reputation, would actually be so realistic." Su Nianxia had an expression of disbelief.    

Hua Ruge's expression was the same.    

Seeing that both of their attention were attracted to this matter, Yan Tao became even more engrossed and said: "It's not only recruitment, it's also like this after school."    

"To be able to make the injustice so obvious, and his Sky Mansion Academy can actually be revered?" Su Nianxia did not understand.    

Hua Ruge raised his brows and said, "Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Sky Mansion Academy is able to achieve its current achievements."    

Su Nianxia looked at her, waiting for her to continue.    

"Because they chose the most labor-saving path, so it would be easier to succeed." Hua Ruge expressed his views.    

Su Nianxia felt that it was reasonable. Although he still couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out for a while.    

Yan Tao had a whole new level of respect for him, and those who didn't have any background would feel indignant upon hearing such an unwritten rule. Hua Ruge was the first person he had ever seen who could be so calm, and could even analyze things from an academy's point of view.    

"I didn't expect that the lady would have such an opinion. It is truly impressive." Yan Tao praised sincerely.    

Now that Hua Ruge was interested in Sky Mansion Academy, he didn't want to see him again. But before Hua Ruge could say anything, he continued, "The first round of the examination was the most cruel and harsh.    

The two girls squinted at him.    

"I can request for two name slips for the two ladies. When the time comes, we will be able to leave our relationship and participate in the second round." As Yan Tao said this, he felt that Hua Ruge was a very sensible person, so he definitely would not reject.    

He did not expect that as soon as he said it, he would hear Hua Ruge say: "Thank you for your kind intentions, senior. I think it's better to stay safe."    

Su Nianxia felt that what Hua Ruge said was definitely not wrong, so he nodded his head.    

Yan Tao looked at Hua Ruge's clear and bright eyes, which made it difficult for people to see her expression, and felt that she was not a simple woman.    

"Senior, if there's nothing else, please leave." This time, Hua Ruge was even more determined to chase them out.    

Yan Tao saw the displeasure in her eyes and thought that this girl was not someone that could be caught overnight, so she should have left a good impression on him a long time ago.    

Therefore, he slightly bowed and said, "If that's the case, then I won't disturb you. I'll be staying next door. If Miss has any matters, please come and find me."    

Hua Ruge nodded his head slightly, which was considered to be agreement.    

Yan Tao left tactfully, and even closed the door politely before he left.    

There were two beds in the room. After he left, both of them laid down on their own beds, looking somewhat lost in thought. They were both thinking about the completely different Sky Mansion Academy that they had in their memories.    

"Elder Sister Ruge, shouldn't we get a name card?" After a long while, Su Nianxia asked.    

Hua Ruge laid on the bed with his legs crossed, "Although my dream is to only live on my face, I still can't do anything to such a person."    

"I didn't say anything about him. If my royal father requests someone to entrust his relationship with him, then the name card won't be a problem." Su Nianxia continued.    

The Su Clan was a large and powerful clan, but it was not difficult for them to do something small.    

Hua Ruge shook his head instead. "I still want to challenge it myself.    

"Then I'll follow you." Su Nianxia had blind faith in her.
