Chapter 447: A fleeting moment
Since Kou Huaiyuan took away the third place, if the original third place wants to keep the title of "Top Ten Masters", he must challenge one by one in order.
If this continues, by the final round, Luo Shu, who had just ascended to the tenth spot, would have to engage in a fierce battle with the former ninth place over “who can hold on to the tenth spot”.
Luo Shu had been slightly injured in the previous match, so he was not in his prime at this time, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Finally, with his unyielding willpower, he won this crucial duel and regained his tenth place.
At this point, the new martial arts conference came to a successful conclusion, and a new list of the top ten masters in the martial arts world was also announced.
The most eye-catching thing about this year's list is that the two new masters are both young juniors, especially Kou Huaiyuan, who has soared to the top at a young age and is ranked among the top three in the world. His future achievements are truly immeasurable.
In addition, this competition also saw the emergence of many amazing up-and-coming talents.
Although they failed to hold on until the last minute of the game, they successfully left an indelible impression on all the people present with their outstanding performance on the field, and took this opportunity to establish their personal fame.
Lin Wuyou is one of these rising stars. She benefited a lot from participating in the martial arts conference. Not only did she experience the exhilarating feeling of fighting with the top masters in the martial arts world, but she also felt the pain of being beaten to the point of spitting blood.
At the same time, she was fortunate enough to witness a wide variety of unique weapons and exquisite martial arts moves, which accumulated rich materials for her subsequent creations. In short, this trip to Zhongzhou was worthwhile and fruitful for Lin Wuyou.
After the martial arts conference came to a successful conclusion, a satisfied Lin Wuyou bid farewell to his master, senior brothers and sisters one by one, and then set out from Zhongxing City with Lin Cheng, heading north, officially embarking on this journey full of unknowns and challenges.
Time flies, and four years have passed in a flash. During these four years, Lin Cheng has learned a lot from Lin Wuyou, and has also witnessed the vastness of the outside world and the sadness and suffering of the lives of the lower class people.
These experiences broadened the horizons of this young man who was devoted to studying, and also calmed his mind. He was no longer as eager to achieve fame as he was at the beginning, but instead seriously experienced the various aspects of human life.
When they set foot on the land of Qingzhou City again, Lin Cheng and Lin Wuyou were no longer the young and immature people they used to be.
Today, they are tall, handsome, and graceful in every move. Wherever they go, they are like a pair of dazzling pearls, attracting everyone's attention.
Over the years, although Lin Chuyi was unable to always be with the siblings, she was always concerned about their safety and specially sent people to keep an eye on their whereabouts.
In the past few years, the brother and sister have rarely returned home. Whenever there is a big day for them and they are not at home, Lin Chuyi will go to reunite with them.
Knowing from the information he had collected that the two children were doing very well and successfully outside, Lin Chuyi felt at ease letting them develop freely and did not interfere too much in their travel plans.
The spring examination will be held in Kyoto next year. Lin Cheng specially wrote a letter to Lin Chuyi, expressing his desire to give it a try next year.
This time, Lin Chuyi did not raise any objections. After receiving the affirmative reply from her second sister, Lin Cheng was overjoyed. He immediately packed his bags with his third sister Lin Wuyou and set off on the journey back to Qingzhou City.
After writing his reply to Lin Cheng, Lin Chuyi immediately began preparing for his family's trip to Kyoto.
Before this, when he went to find his two younger brothers and sisters, Lin Chuyi specially brought the test papers of the Imperial Examination Academy in recent years and the test questions of the formal imperial examination.
After Lin Cheng finished his answer sheet, Lin Chuyi personally reviewed it. After years of hard work, Lin Cheng did not neglect his studies. On the contrary, his essays were more substantial and his arguments were more reasonable than those a few years ago.
With Lin Cheng's current level, if he takes part in the Kyoto examination, as long as there are no human interference factors, it is almost certain that he will pass the examination as a tribute student.
If you keep up the good work, it won't be difficult to pass the imperial examination. And if you work harder this year, you may have a chance to be among the top three.
If this is true, then a young, promising and talented newcomer to the officialdom like Lin Cheng will surely become a candidate for son-in-law that those officials who have unmarried daughters will compete for.
This time when Lin Cheng went to Beijing to take the exam, she had to personally step in and strictly supervise the fresh and juicy cabbages in her home. She couldn't just watch him get pressured into marrying someone he didn't like and thus ruin his life's happiness.
There is no need to worry about her identity. The person going to the capital is Lin Cheng's biological sister Lin Chuyi, who has nothing to do with the world-famous Grand Princess.
Besides, Her Royal Highness the Princess was staying safely in the Princess's Mansion at the moment, and no one would associate her with Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Even if Lin Chuyi really intended to reveal her identity as the eldest princess and go to Kyoto, it would be fine.
Over the years, she had been in and out of the palace quite a lot, but each time she only met the current emperor. After so many years, Lin Chuyi had given the emperor so many good things that even she herself could not remember clearly.
And this is exactly the reason why the emperor trusts her so much. All the methods and secret recipes were thought out and presented by her. In the end, all the benefits and credits fell on the head of him, the emperor.
With the implementation of many people-friendly policies such as reducing taxes, vigorously supporting the development of agriculture and commerce, paying attention to the cultivation of talents in all walks of life, shortening the imperial examination from every three years to every two years, etc., the treasury of the Great Chu has become abundant, the national strength has become stronger, and the people's lives have become better and better. Who would not praise the wisdom of the current emperor?
Fortunately, after the things given away are actually implemented, the merits obtained will be counted on Lin Chuyi, otherwise Lin Chuyi would have been making wedding clothes for others in vain, and she would be sick to death.
We have strayed off topic. Let's get back to the point. Lin Chuyi estimated the time when Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng would return, and had someone clean their rooms again before they came back.
When Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng drove their carriage back to the Lin residence, it was already dark.
The lights in the Lin residence were brightly lit. Lin Chuyi, Lin Jinxiu, Mrs. Shen, and Mr. Huang's entire family were all gathered together, eagerly awaiting the two's return.
