Brother Tian blanked out as he held the Red Maple Banquet's invitation card.

"Damn!" Brother, now you have the qualifications to join Red Maple Banquet! Just thinking about it makes me excited! "

Brother Tian gave Meng Kang a wink with his face full of emotion.

Meng Kang smiled, "What? What background does this Red Maple Banquet have? "

Brother Tian licked his lips and said: "I've only heard of it before, I've never been there! It is said that only the elite disciples of the Shangjing Ten Courtyards are qualified to participate in this annual feast. Although it is not as formal as the Grand Examination, I heard that there are also battles involving rankings between the ten Academies.

"What do you mean?"

Meng Kang laughed, what he wanted to do the most right now was to accumulate all his potential, and prepare to charge into the Divine Secret Realm, or perhaps start training in Yellow Springs Boat's archery, other than the Great Halberd Test, he did not care too much about these types of competitions.

"Of course! It said that there would be three to seven students under the tutelage of the teachers and teachers of the academy. I don't care, you have to accompany me! It won't take up too much time, it's only for one night! "

Tian-ge shouted excitedly.

Meng Kang thought for a while, then laughed: "Alright! I'll go with you. However, after this trip, I will concentrate on my cultivation, and you will be in charge of matters in the academy from now on! "

"No problem!" It was a deal! Hehe! This time, I, Gu Tian, am going to show off too! Let Ten Courtyards experience our might! Have you forgotten? "When we first entered the hospital, they didn't even accept us. This time, I'm going to slap their faces hard and slap them back one by one!"

Gu Tian pretended to be ferocious and shouted.

"You're narrow-minded!"

Meng Kang smiled.

"Of course!"

Gu Tian quickly replied.

There was a certain amount of certainty in everything he ate and drank.

At first, when those academies did not accept the two of them, it was just nice that they were able to join the medical school. Only then did Meng Kang have the chance to find Grandpa Fu.

"I am petty! Hehe! Whoever offends this young master, don't let me get the chance! "

Gu Tian scolded him bitterly.

In the evening of the second day, Meng Kang brought Gu Tian, Ye Xiaoyuan, and Zi Yan to the Red Maple Palace to participate in the yearly Red Maple Banquet.

The reason why she brought Ye Xiaoyuan and along was because Gu Tian recommended her. She said that in order to prevent anyone from luring the tiger out of the mountains, she would take advantage of the fact that Meng Kang and Gu Tian were both not in the courtyard to disturb Ye Xiaoyuan. As for taking Zi Yan along, it was mainly to find a partner for Ye Xiaoyuan.

With regards to this arrangement, Ye Xiaoyuan and Zi Yan naturally had no doubts. Everyone invited Senior Sister Gao Xiulian to guard the courtyard, and the four of them drove to Red Maple Palace together.

This Red Maple Palace was located at the southeast side of the Imperial City, and was constructed by the Great Halberd Sect over the past 16 years.

The interior of the hall was carved and decorated with dragons and phoenixes. The style of the hall was luxurious and grand, similar to that of the other palaces. There was nothing special about it.

The only difference was that the direction of the Red Maple Palace was north to east, facing one of the famous 18 scenes of the Shanghai City, Red Maple singing late.

This Red Maple sang about the later scenes, talking about the Feng Shan and the Green Lake in the Shanghai City. Every autumn, when the air was refreshed, the Red Maple on the mountain would become like fire, blending into the green lake at the foot of the mountain.

As a result, there was a previous speaker who wrote, "The fishing boat wanders through the mountains until late in the night, and the green shadow is redder than the February flower."

The most ancient phrase described the beautiful scenery of Feng Shan's green lake.

Sitting with all the guests in front of the Red Maple Palace and gazing at the beauty of the green lake along with the fine wine and delicious food was naturally a joyous event in life. That was why the late emperor gave the order to build this Red Maple Palace.

However, the late emperor was wise and didn't want to monopolize the beautiful scenery. Although he had already built this Red Maple Palace, he didn't restrict his subjects and commoners from using it.

In normal times, as long as one paid five taels of silvers, they would be able to enter the palace to view the scenery.

However, people like him were unable to enter the palace when the Imperial Court was in charge.

Meng Kang and his group arrived at the entrance of the Red Maple Palace, handed over the Red Maple Banquet invitation and entered the hall.

It was still early, and the main hall hadn't officially opened yet. Some of the academies had already arrived, while others hadn't.

"Let's sit over there!"

Brother Tian saw the position of the medical school with a glance, because there was a screen beside the table with the words "medical school" written in bold letters.

The four of them walked to the seating area of the medical school, with Meng Kang as the leader, followed by Brother Tian.

Brother Tian swept his eyes over them and was a little displeased. He said in a low voice: "Look at the rankings? medical school is the furthest from the main table, so this seat is not eye-catching!

"Nothing much!" Let's come over for a drink, and then we'll leave! "

Meng Kang laughed.

The two beauties smiled sweetly at the same time and poured tea for Master Meng and Brother Tian.

"That's true! "Let's not argue with them. It's fine if they are at the bottom of the ten academies. If we are to compete in medical skills, all of them will have to kneel!"

Brother Tian said while blushing for himself.

When he said this, the people sitting beside him became displeased.

One of the young men dressed as a student shook his head and laughed: "This brother's words are quite interesting, but if we were to compare notes, then Star Observation College would be number one!"

"That's right!" Compared to the arrangement of the troops and the training of troops, which academy could compare to the elite army academy?! How laughable, with this level of speech, how could you choose to enter the Red Maple Courtyard! "

Another student intentionally laughed loudly.

"Brother Li, don't say that! The medical school was also divided into different subjects! From the way this man speaks, he's probably a veterinarian! "

After this student finished speaking, the people sitting beside him all burst out laughing.

Brother Tian was instantly angered. He pulled back his sleeves and was about to curse back at them, but Ye Xiaoyuan lightly pulled on his sleeves.

"Gu Tian, don't be rash, let them look down on Master Meng!"

Ye Xiaoyuan said softly.

Gu Tian stared at him in annoyance, seeing that Meng Kang really did not seem to care, he decided to give up.

Sitting at the table next to them was a disciple of the Flying Stream Academy. Their academy was ranked third from the bottom, and this academy's specialty was to teach disciples a little bit of knowledge, but it was not proficient enough. It had opened many subjects in the academy, and even set up a medical department.

The President of the Flying Stream Academy, Yue Zhiqian, had also come to the Red Maple Banquet. However, he was not seated next to the Ten Courtyards.

The Red Maple Banquet held a long and rectangular banquet with only one seat per person at the front and one seat per disciple near the main seat. Only in the middle did the four seats belong to disciples.

The representatives from each courtyard were seated at a table, and the guests were placed at the table to show their respect.

Not long after, the representatives and disciples of the various academies arrived one after another and sat at their respective seats.

Brother Tian, who came from a rich and powerful family, could easily see through this strange situation. He frowned: "Something is not right! The main seat does not have any of our medical school's nameplates on it! They must have missed something! I'll go find them! "

With that, he stood up and walked to the female official in charge of arranging the banquet.

After a while, Brother Tian came back to the dining room with a dark expression. He said with a face full of dissatisfaction, "F * ck!" They said that the masters of the medical school were not here, so they temporarily did not want to take the main seat! He's obviously bullying us! Big Brother, come with me.

Meng Kang took a glance at the masters' seats, which were filled with old men with flowing beards, and the fatty uncle. He shook his head and said, "Forget it! I don't want to sit over there! It's still comfortable here! "

Seeing that Meng Kang was unwilling to go, Brother Tian was startled. Thinking about it, what was the point of fighting for that title?

At this time, the ridiculing voices of a few other Flying Stream Academy students came from the side.

"At least I know my place. You want to take the main seat with just these few ingredients?" Don't make people laugh out of their big teeth! "

"I heard that the Patriarch of the Fu residence of medical school is heading to the border. If he is here, she should sit on the seat of honor. As for the kittens in front of him, hehe! She was right not to embarrass herself! "Wise!"

"Beauty, are you also from the medical school? What's the future of following these weak chickens? Why don't we make an appointment after the banquet? I am Cheng Jian from Flying Stream Academy, and my nickname is Steel Arms Wyvern.

One of the green-gowned students even had ideas on Zi Yan, and teased him.

Zi Yan charmingly stared at the Steel Arms Wyvern, but her movements were ambiguous as she approached Meng Kang's arm, and gently laughed: "Teacher Meng, I like you sitting here, what's so fun about sitting there! All these old men! "Drink your tea!"

This Wu Yi, the former leader of the Hua Clan, was extremely ticklish when she heard the students of the Flying Stream Academy. A few pairs of eyes were staring straight at Zi Yan, hating him along the way.

"Damn it!" What a good cabbage! A pretty boy like that, I, the Steel Arms Wyvern, can crush him with one punch! "Irritate me as well!"

Cheng Jian angrily turned around, no longer looking at Zi Yan.

This man had some self-control and knew that Zi Yan was purposely teasing them.

Meng Kang was not used to Zi Yan suddenly being so intimate. Laughing loudly, he raised his arm to get some tea, and got rid of the entanglement of the beauties.

Ye Xiaoyuan was both worried and happy at the same time. She was worried that someone as enchanting as Big Sister Zi Yan could not be stopped by a man, but she was happy that Teacher Meng's actions of pulling out his arm didn't seem to be a trick on Sister Zi Yan.

Gu Tian casually buried himself in drinking his tea, not paying attention to these small details.

"I declare the official start of Red Maple Banquet! Guests, please take a seat. "

The Auxiliary Minister Li Wenzheng announced loudly as the leader of the three officials of the Great Halberd Sect. The annual Red Maple Night Banquet officially began.

"It is indeed the time of the Maple Leaf Red, I represent the imperial government and invite the teachers and students of Shangjing Ten Courtyards to a hall. The first thing I did was to invite everyone to share the Feng Ye Sheng Jing with me and admire my halberd art. As for the second matter, it will be to preheat the Grand Examination and test the martial arts skills of the Ten Courtyards next year. "

The Auxiliary Minister Li Wenzheng paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "Let's talk about next year's Grand Examination, which will begin next year. The Divine Empress has decreed that next year's Grand Examination, which opens every ten years, will be called the Grand Examination's opening.

"Below the Life Taking Realm, as long as one is a disciple of the Shangjing Ten Courtyards, or has a recommendation from the Regional Academy, they can participate in the Mizar Grand Examination! Not only that, the barbarians of the north, the Mountain Giant and the demon clans who have a good relationship with the Great Halberd Empire will all send their elite students to participate! "

When Minister of the Auxiliary State said this, all the Ten Courtyards s below were thrown into a mess. The scene was extremely lively, as if it was about to explode.

Next year's Grand Examination was not the same as the previous Grand Examination, but it was practically the number one martial competition in the world. Wanting to be the champion of the Grand Examination was more than ten times more difficult than the previous Grand Examination!
